I currently have an Arc and two One SLs as surrounds. Primarily used for watching movies. Minimal music listening.Question: If I am looking to invest more into this eco system do I replace the Ones with era 100s or do I get a sub?exceptions: I do not want to spend the money for the era 300s and my wife wouldn’t like the size.So do I invest in a slight upgrade to the surrounds or get the sub for more bass?

I just updated to the new Sonos app which looks great. I use Apple Music and there’s no way to select an individual song and add it to a queue. The “play next” and “add to end of queue” options are gone. The only option is “replace queue”.  This is a big bug as I use and revise my queue all the time. Will this be addressed in future updates?

Hi all I have the original Playbar and sub.I’m hoping to add two smaller speakers for surround-sound. Which generations of speakers are compatible? thanks 

Can Sonos please advise its timeline for restoring the Pandora Modes in the newest upgrade? It’s one of my favorite features that provides a lot of variety within specified artist playlists. 

The app generally works great.  Leveraging the Apple integrations is frustrating.  While the music streaming works, searching or browsing on Apple playlists or search results is buggy.  Icons/covert art shows, more than half or titles are blank even though they are there and can be selected.  It is like the words don’t load.  

i have an open concept floorplan with kitchen and living room separated by a staircase.  I plan on putting 2 ceiling speakers in each area and would like to be able to play different music at different volumes in each area while being able to link them if were having a get together.  I want to avoid a wall switch if possible.Should I just get two Sonos amps or should I get one amp and two ports?  I do plan on rigging up the living room set of ceiling speakers with a beam for the tv.  

I´d like to buy Arc and Sub mini. I have TCL tv and Apple TV 4K. Will be Dolby atmos in films available in situation when I connect Apple TV to normal TCL HDMI port, and Arc I will connect to TCL ARC HDMI port? And I suppose, that when I connect Arc with Apple TV via Airplay 2, and play some film with Dolby atmos, this Dolby atmos will not be available?

Hi,I figured out was the problem with Napster is. All of the saved Playlists that were created before, now I don't know what the exact date is, but before current update (s), do not work. They crash the displays also, it is very frustrating and ended up causing me some heartburn and anxiety, but I feel better now, after all of this debugging.So, they need to either add the older formats or issue a warning that the old playlists from Napster are now useless. It would be easier for us to do the first option, obviously, but if you can't you can't.Note also that this problem also crashes the History display, which stays on maybe for 5 or more seconds at startup, and then Poof, gone!I have a big sense of relief now, so I hope this information is useful.Note also that I would not have been able to do this debugging without the noson Linux app. Indispensable for debugging as it loads up and displays the older playlists, but obviously they can't get played.Important note: As things stand now,

My set up hasn’t changed for around 3 years. My SkyQ and TV are both configured for optical output and the wiring and configuration have not changed. Last night around 10pm, the sound stopped working through Sonos and I had to revert to the TV speakers. I switched everything off and on again and it still doesn’t work.  The Sonos system works perfectly independently of the TV. Has anyone else seen this or have any advice please?

Hi. I have an LG C8 OLED TV and a Beam, connected Via HDMI Arc. I also have some Sony Bluetooth headphones. Whenever I try and play the TV audio via Bluetooth after 2 seconds it switches back to Arc. Is there anyway to prevent this? I have to pull the HDMI lead out of the Beam, but can it be disabled via the app or some other way? Thanks.

Feature Request in regards to dynamic island.  Currently, for iOS users you must open the Sonos app directly in order to navigate any controls. Allowing access to dynamic will provide minutes saved to use the control settings. This can include skip to next track, go back a track, grouping of speakers, change playlist or services being used. There are often times I need to pause quickly and I have to go through the standalone Sonos app to turn off. Just a thought for us iOS users.

Does the new (80) update have surround speaker distance? If not I request that it gets added onto the list of missing features. I change my surround distance when friends are over as some spots in my setup may blast their ears. Also I know the new update sucks. I know I can go back with Android. I agree features like the alarm are more important, in fact I want that back ASAP - This is just one feature I occasionally use that I hope doesn’t get missed. I also hope I missed it somehow and it is in there. No I will not set Trueplay and forget. <3

I have a Sonos One Gen 2 which was working OK with my android phone for about 9 months. I now have a new phone and cannot set it up.  I have tried rebooting the router, reinstalling the app, factory resetting the Sonos.  A recommended solution was to rename the 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels on the router.  I don't want to do this as our other many applications around the house would need to be updated too.  The router has not changed and was working fine with Sonos before.  Any help on  this issue?  And finally, I listed to audiobooks from BorrowBox and cannot find anyway to do this with the Sonos.

Hi all I'm an Android user and am looking to purchase an iPad for trueplay purposes. According to this article (https://support.sonos.com/en/article/trueplay-compatible-devices-and-sonos-products) it seems that almost all ipad versions are incompatible. Any idea which one supports trueplay calibration? Thank you!

Anyone else have issues with long playlist from Amazon (225+ songs) playing through their Sonos Connect? I can play it through my Move, Roam and Playbar but not Connect. 

I have an issue that has not been raised before - does anyone experience RANDOM volume changes (e.g. sudden bursts of loud volume as well as songs ending in the middle [apparently NO VOLUME]).  I have a home theater setup with the ARC, sub woofer, and 2Ls (in remote areas).  ALL WORKED PERFECTLY prior to the APP change.  Lastly - the system now defaults (as in difficult to get ALL the rooms to play the same song throughout the house) to ONLY playing in the main bedroom.  What’s up with this!?Thanks to all for any help

Hi I’m looking into speakers for my kitchen reno.At first I had thought I needed the sonos speakers to control it with google home.  However it sounds like all i need to do is set the sonos amp to be the default speaker for google home.  This means I could use whatever speakers i want tied to the sonos amp.  Are there any other advantages to using 8” sonos in ceiling speakers i’m missing?  the alternative pair i was looking at was the 8” KEF CI200s.

Hi Everyone. I have a Soundboks Gen 4 Speaker with a Sonos Port that I use to play music in the garden along side the sonos house speakers. I usually move the speaker quite often and it's annoying having to plug the Port to electricity since the speaker has a big battery. I saw Sonos port has an input of 12v 1a, the Soundboks battery provides 14v. I have a basic knowledge of electronics but I think that is not too far apart and devices nowadays should handle that difference. My idea is to run the sonos port from the battery and make it mobile. Has someone done anything similar? Since I can't find any info Should I take the voltage down to 12v or Port sould handle the 14v fine? Thank you.

Not a fan of the new app, but I listened to a playlist on Apple Music this morning. And a saw a Lossless logo on one of the songs. It came and went and hasn’t showed up for other songs, but thought it was interesting.  Is lossless playback coming?  Was it already here and I missed it?  

how do I get my new Sonos Ace headphones to connect to my Arc without cutting sound on my Arc. I need to listen independently from the family please?

I received my Sonos Ace and spent a few hours playing with settings to try to get a good sound from them.  I read in another thread someone recommending disabling volume normalisation within Spotify.  That vastly improved the sound quality for me.Unfortunately in my testing, I identified a buzzing noise.  It is more obvious on some tracks.  I wonder if others can replicate it.  On “Shout” by Tears for Fears, the opening bars feature some metallic percussion.  This is in the first ten seconds of the track.Listening through the Aces, there is a noticeable and pronounced buzz/noise at the end of each of these percussive clusters.  The buzz increases at the end of each cluster.  I have tried the track on multiple devices and this is only apparent on the Aces.  It should not be there.I spent two hours - the first hour on hold - with Sonos support.  The person I eventually spoke to was helpful enough, but all of the troubleshooting steps he suggested I had already done.  He escalated the mat

My local library, hosted on MacOS, remains unusable since the update.I’ve reviewed the newly updated guidance from Sonos on how to add a local library. But it is identical to the solution the community has been using for weeks. Unfortunately this does not work for me and several others I’ve conversed with here.But for what must be the 15th time, I dutifully re-reviewed every step and followed them to the letter on my system, noting that it is *exactly* how I’ve been sharing my music library for Sonos for several years. After 5-10 minutes of ‘indexing’ this now too familiar error message was displayed once again:  So, my library remains inaccessible via my S2 system. My configuration is *exactly* what Sonos and the community recommend. The only thing that has changed is the Sonos update. The error message provides no insight as to why my library cannot be indexed.And I can’t call Sonos support because they do not operate at the weekend. My configuration:MacMini running MacOS Catalina 10

Stations (BBC1, BBC2, Triple J and TMM) are greyed out and can’t be accessed or played.
