Sonos Move feature request

I would like a feature (which I think is deficient by its absence today) in the app that allows you to toggle the Move into Bluetooth and Wifi mode.  Sometimes I switch my move to bluetooth to pair with my TV streaming device in the bedroom. After the film is done, I would like to be able to switch the move back to wifi and be able to use its voice control etc without having to get back out of bed! Thanks.

What’s the best way to control alarms or scheduled music play? Is it through the Sonos app or through Spotify or Apple Music?

What’s the best way to control alarms or scheduled music play? Is it through the Sonos app or through Spotify or Apple Music? I currently use the Sonos app to choose which playlist to play at a certain time, but I find it to be a little bit clunky and I’m wondering if there are some better options.

Orbit Plus w Preamp to Connect:Amp Z100 - Does this work?

Hello,I am looking to purchase a U Turn Orbit Plus with a built in Pre Amp. Will my old Gen 1 Connect:Amp Z100 work with this turntable? Or will I need to get a more updated amp/port/five for this to work?I currently have a collection of (2)Sonos One SL and (2)Play:1 speakers, a Beam, and Boost. So does this work?  Turntable w/ PreAmp → Connect:Amp Z100 → Sonos speakers (One and Play:1 or Beam)

Input dependent speaker switching

I have a Sonos Five, Beam, and Symfonisk satellites in my living room. The Five is purely there to connect my turntable, so I do not want it to play when the TV is being used. Is there a way to accomplish this without having to manually toggle speakers every time we switch from the turntable to the TV?

Sonos Radio HD content

Spatial Audio/Atmos musicWith the launch of Era 300, Sonos radio HD should really be providing spatial audio/atmos mixed music on the service. Currently it appears that only Apple Music and Amazon Music Unlimited are providing access to this, and each requires a separate and specific subscription. I’d like to see this coming from Sonos Radio HD as the Era 300 speakers launch this month. Would that be possible? Moderator edit - combined posts

Play Pandora in offline mode

On my mobile Pandora app I am able to download some albums or stations so I can play them if my internet hiccups. Is there a way to do this with Sonos? I.e., could I have Sonos download playlist tracks so they can run if my internet goes down?  If not, it would be very cool to offer this as a new feature.

Music won't start through Sonos app until pressing play on speaker

Hello,When I try to start music playing through the Sonos app nothing happens until I physically press play on the speaker.  This occurs on all my speakers (playbar, beam, play1).   Once pressing play it seems to work fine while I am using it.  It seems to have issues in between uses.  I do have Alexa, ring doorbell, etc connected up and it’s possible this occurs after a notification.  Any idea why the speakers seem to go offline in between uses of the Sonos app like this?Thank you.

What should i add next?

I currently have a Playbar and 2 Play Ones set up as a 3.0 tv system. While this is nice, i want more:) what do you think is more worthwhile, add a Sub (we live in an apt so a little worried about the bass) or upgrade to the Arc? If I go the upgrade to the Arc route do I need to move the Playbar to another room or can it still be integrated with the Arc and 2 play ones?

Anyone experiencing issues with wireless speakers and/or subwoofers with 6.2?

Originally with my Pro 6’s I had some WiFi issues, which ended up being caused by my wireless subwoofer (Sony HT-ST5000). I fixed it by locking my subwoofer to a single 5.2 ghz channel and turning on “secure link”. My theory at the time was that eero would learn that that particular channel was too noisy and not bother with it.Since the 6.2 update the same WiFi issues seem to have resurfaced, sometimes my connection is fine and other times I have incredibly slow speeds (sub 1mbps on a fiber connection 10 feet from the eero). My subwoofer is having intermittent connection issues too. Granted this could all be a coincidence, but it started happening the day 6.2 was installed on my network.Is anyone else experiencing anything similar?

Sonos Beam inputs

I can’t find the specific answer to my issue.  Can both inputs on the Sonos Beam ARC and Optical be plugged in at the same time and used for separate sources or does one cancel out the other? Cheers.

Issue adding Play:1 to Playbase in Surround

I can not add anymore my two standalone Play:1 speakers to my Playbase as surround speakers. My Playbase is connected via Ethernet. My Play:1 are WiFi connected. After the surround wizard the app shows me an error than not all speakers could be added and I can do a retry. But if I just swipe down the error msg it shows me both Play:1 speakers as added. In fact only one is added to my Playbase and the other not. In Trueplay calibration wizard only one Play:1 Speaker and Playbase is playing the test sound. The ohter is quiet.Even after a full factory reset of all speakers. Same behavior.But my two Play:1 speakers can be used as Stereo Speakers, this works fine.What is wrong here?Diagnostic # 1265119658

Sonos Arc stepper

Hi Sonos,I installed the Sonos Arc on my TV (with arc/earc). Only thing i’m missing as a feature is a stepper to increase/decrease the sound with 1-10% instead of 1%. It’s very irritating to press the volume button like 100 times.Thanks.

How to keep line-in audio going on Amp during quiet videos.

Hey everyone, I have an Amp that I use for my computer audio via line-in. This works well, but sometimes the Amp forgets it’s playing when the audio is quiet for a while on YouTube, for example. Is there a setting that can keep the line-in audio alive?

Feature Request: Independent on/off controls for TV and Music

I’d like to request the ability in the app to turn off the surrounds completely when listening to music. Currently the lowest you go can is Ambient/zero, which still allows some sound to be audible from the surrounds. I’m sure there are users out there who would enjoy the reverse as well, where you can keep the surrounds on for music, but mute completely for TV/Movies. My setup includes an Amp, 2nd gen sub, and Ikea Symfonisks for the rears.
