SONOS vs Apple Watch

Having recently obtained an Apple Watch, I found it surprising that there was no official Sonos control application tailored for this device. Considering SONOS's emphasis on connectivity via Wi-Fi, the absence of such an app seemed unexpected. Personally, I prefer relying on official apps rather than third-party solutions. I eagerly await your feedback on this matter.

Google /youtubemusic your own library

Aug 9, 2020, 11:06 AMSo Google has ended Google Play,which is still on your app, and transferred to YouTube Music, which I don't see on your app. Trying to find out if I'm still going to be able to play my own music on your speaker given that Google is holding my entire library hostage and won't even allow me to play my own music on their own speakers.  Don't see how to add YouTube Music on the new app either.  Doesn't seem like Sonos responds to direct messages since they havent responded to a question sent months ago

play 5 replacement

I have a play 5 gen 2 that recently stopped working , ran a diagnostic, faulty wi fi card . I have now received a replacement it works but stops midway through a song - have called Sonos who were v helpful spent an hour on the phone and ran various checks , including changing wi fi channels nothing works - I have two play 1’s both of which work with no problem - a case has been raised and I am waiting to hear . Has anyone any ideas ? I don’t believe it is a wi fi issue as the others work (I have put one where the play 5 is and no problems ) -

Can we expect full stereo over surround?

Hi guys, sorry for the medium long read and probably lack of correct terminology.. Since the coronavirus pandemic started a lot of (live) music is being streamed over various channels. When I stream this to my TV I obviously do this to enjoy the music, along with the visuals provided. My 5.1 set then only pushes the sound via the beam, with only certain frequencies or sounds popping up from the back speakers. While actually playing music from a streaming service like Spotify, the sound is sublime, but when listening to music from a video or tv this way, it’s quite disappointing. I know there are more topics addressing the same technical issue, with a logic explanation that when you watch ‘tv’ it’s not needed to have full stereo when the tv decoder or whatever is used also distributes 5.1, which makes sense. But the need from me as a user, and maybe others has changed over the past year; looking for great sound when streaming live or recorders music content from whatever source.  I woul

Help choosing Sonos combo for living space

Hi, I am moving house and looking to upgrade my Sonos system. I am thinking of an Arc + Sub + 2 x Play1 to compliment my existing 2 x Play 1’s. The system is to be largely for music but also for movies. I am thinking of having a surround set up in the sofa area with 2 of the 1’s on stands adjacent to the sofa with two further 1’s in the kitchen and dining areas. One concern with the Arc is the shape of the ceiling and that the TV and Arc will be closer to one side wall than the other. Is this an issue or does the addition of the sub and surround 1’s negate any potential problems? Happy for people to suggest alternate options but I am quite keen on this set up as get 30% off from upgrading my old Play 5 which saves a whopping £600 on the set!!

Can I use my TV as an input to all speakers?

I have my Samsung TV connected directly to my arc via optical cable.  Can I use the TV as a sound input to my other Sonos speakers (and port/amp locations) that are spread throughout the house so that I can listen to one TV everywhere in my home?

Surround Sound

I’ve recently bought a Sonos Beam (gen 2) and want to connect my other Sonos’s to create surround sound from my TV. I have a Sonos Play:1 & a Sonos one. When I click on “Set Up Surrounds” it states it can’t find 2 compatible devices but I thought both the Play:1 & One can be uses in Surrounds. Is there a way to make these work together?

samsung QN85Q60T dolby atmos not working with sonos

Recently purchased Sonos arc/sub/2 one SLs paired with samsung QN85Q60T. Dolby atmos reflects for Netflix movie (El Camino) & Prime (Jack Ryan). However, all other shows/movies do not display Dolby atmos? Further, movies on Disney +, Apple TV, HBO max (justice league) which supposedly supports DA, Sonos app only displays Dolby 5.1?!  anyone experiencing the same? Is it related to Samsung TVs?

Connect Amp Rear Surrounds wont work.

I have gone through the setup process which was cumbersome as the connect amp and speaker wires all home run to a closet downstairs.  So I got a 50’ ethernet cable and direct connected the connect Amp to the playbar in the family room below the TV.  I set up the surrounds and they worked.I unplugged the 50ft ethernet cable however the Playbar and the Connect Amp are still both hard wired connected to ethernet and the same router.  When I unplug the 50ft ethernet cable the surrounds turn off even though I set it up as instructed and both the playbar and the connect amp in the closet are hard wired to ethernet.I have done this from scratch 5 times to make sure I am not doing anything wrong  Certainly there has to be a solution other than having a 50 ft cord from the closet to the family roomAny suggestions on what to do to make these work as surrounds given my configuration?

Can the Sonos In-Celling Speakers Be Used As In-Wall Speakers?

For my future basement renovations i’m thinking if I have left over budget in the project to buy some in-celling speakers and in-wall speakers but, I like the aesthetics of the in-celling speakers better so will the sound be compromised and not being tuned correctly beacuse they were designed differently verses in-wall + in-celling speakers? I could have all the speakers be celling but people say that sounds less room-filling than having celling and wall speakers. My current plan is to have a pair in-celling, pair in-wall, and a sonos beam.

Samsung UN75J6500 and Sonos Arc stereo only?

So, I’m moderately savvy enough to be able to figure a lot of this stuff out, but sometimes I simply miss things and wanted to see if I could figure out some help with a handful of things.  I have a Samsung TV with regular arc, just had my Sonos Arc delivered and with a little trouble initially, got it set up. Everything now looks and sounds great, but when I went to snag some of the One SL speakers to optimize my living room, I’ve run into some snags.  Originally I was getting Stereo only, but with a lot of messing around, got a semblance of surround which I’m not sure is actual surround, but just a mirrored signal from  the surround speakers. I’m using an HDMI switcher to try to keep a slew of systems and units set up, which I have bypassed as a troublesome middleman and have, at this point, tried connecting my Xbox Series X directly to the TV, with the arc in HDMI port 3 going to the Sonos bar itself. With music, speakers work just fine, no delay, but the rear speakers certainly pro

Sonos arc 5.1 music turn off arc

Dear Sonos, I love my 5.1 setup, arc, sub and 2 one sl, but there is one key thing I don’t really like at all. That’s the arc music quality. In comparison the ones sound ALOT better. I would absolutely love to be able to turn off the arc when listening to music so it’s just from the ones and sub. Could u please make this option available. I know I can set ones volume up but that’s not good nor will it match with the sub (right?).  Many thanks for anyone who can help me get this request to the employees/developers.

Sonos Arc is not visible when TV is turned off

RESOLVED_________________________________________Hi all,I am fairly new to Sonos. I have got a move that works flawless and now i invested in the Arc.After connecting the Arc to my TV which was easy peasy, i find that when the TV is shut off the Arc is no longer visible on the Sonos app or in Spotify. So unless the TV is on i cannot use the Arc to playing music.What am i doing wrong here ? is it that the Arc cannot work without the TV being on or am i missing something.Hoping you can help.Kind regardsCarsten
