Not able to use equipment because my phone is no longer supported

I use a perfectly serviceable Apple 5 phone and refuse to change it. Now I cannot configure my large collection of Sonos products because Sonos no longer support this devise.I get that is the case but come on Sonos why are you switching off functionality to old systems??I used to highly recommend Sonos but I’m not so inspired now.

Will I be able to connect a Roam to a WiFi router on a Starlink connection.

I will be travelling later in the year and my baggage allowance is limited.  I do not want to take my Roam with me if I am going to have problems connecting it to the WiFi router of the Starlink connection that I will have in the caravan.I note that in previous topics people have been referred to the Sonos System Requirements - Unsupported Networks section.This mentions that “Wireless internet connections such as satellite...” are unsupported.  Does that include a situation such as the one I will have?I will not want to just send music from my iPhone to it, rather I want to play the radio stations I have as favourites in the Sonos S2 App.

What sonos products I have to add to spread the music in the room

Hi,I have a sonos system made up of ARC + sub (gen3) I use to watch TV. It works well I don’t need to set up a 5.1 system. What I need is spreading the music better  in my room (40m2) when I use the system to listen music. How I can get this target?… adding 2 one SL and putting them in asymmetrical way in 2 opposites corner could be helpful? or in alternative adding 1 ERA 100 could be sufficient? or other options?Thanks for your kind advices!!

Making a Sonos Speaker Choice

We have a large open space that is broken up by a few walls - The TV room is roughly 400 square feet, kitchen 300sq ft, Living Room 600 aq ft We have a Sonos Move we take all around the house. In the living room there are 4 in ceiling and a center speaker connected to the TV via Amplifier through HDMI ARC. Question -Should I go Beam under the TV and two ERA 100 with one in the kitchen and one in the living room to fill the downstairs with Music?  Go with the Port on the Amplifier, add a Sub and two Era for the Living room and Kitchen Or is there a different set up you’d suggest? Again - filling the space with music is the main objective

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.

First post - Your Advice pls...

Afternoon all.  I recently purchased a Sonos Beam Gen 2 and I also have a One SL.  I have a Sony KD-49XG90 TV.I’m bamboozled by the variety of Audio in results I have showing on my S2 App.My Beam is connected to my TV via ARC (HDMI 3), my Apple TV (4K 2021) is connected to HDMI 2 and Sky Q is connected to HDMI4.I get Dolby Atmos for Premiership football matches I watch in UHD via SkyI get Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 for movies in UHD via SkyI get Dolby Digital 5.1 via Apple TVI get a mixture of Dolby Digital 5.1 and PCM 2.0 for normal channels on SkyCan anyone explain the disparity between the results I’m getting please, is layman terms if possible.I would at least like to get Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 on Apple TV and I don’t understand for the life of me why I only get Atmos for the football on Sky UHD but for no other programme, not even UHD movies on Sky!Many thanks in advance

Add Play:1 as left channel only

I have a long room in which I have two Play:1s set up as a stereo pair.  I’d like to put another Play 1 in the room so that there is a L-R-L setup, with the R in the middle of the room.  That way I have stereo sound on the left side of the room, and stereo sound on the right as well (albeit reversed).   Is there a way to add a Play:1 as a left-only speaker?  Whenever I set it up, it is only available as mono.

Never Ever Ever Ending Problems

Just when I think that this useless ***** arc can't possibly get any worse, well yes it can!So suddenly it's now decided, by itself, without me changing anything, that I can turn the volume up but not down, if I try and turn it down it makes no difference, but it carries on turning up if you go the other way.... Mental. I've had a guts full with this trash, I'll be trying to get my money back next week. Moderator edit: inappropriate language

What's with Apple Music via Sonos app?

New to Sonos with a single Sonos One. I notice when I search on my Sonos app that I do not get the same search results that I do when I search directly on the Apple Music app. I see a lot more results for my search on Apple than on Sonos. If this is a long term issue, I guess my options are to switch to Amazon Music HD. How are the search results there via the Sonos App?Or, I can return the Sonos One to BestBuy and switch to an Apple HomePod or more likely HomePod Mini. This is for a bedroom. I don’t really need loud high resolution audio.Which leads me to ask, is Amazon Music HD overkill for Sonos? I haven’t seen any sign that Sonos handles high resolution audio.I’m also considering a Sonos Arc, but my questions about that is for a separate post.

Beam makes sounds in the middle of the night

Devices are off, TV is off, but Beam decides to play random sounds for about 10 seconds at around midnight, every night. Spooky and annoying. Couldn't find solutions from older threads.Where does the command come from? I don't recognize the source by hearing, but I took diagnostics immediately after, conf. number 298326721

Sono Beam Connected Speakers

I have a Play:1 and Play:5 (Gen 1). I’m thinking of getting a Sonos Beam and wanted to understand if the Beam would group to the Play:1 and Play:5 (Gen 1)? I can’t think to find confirmation of this functionality on the Sonos site.

Sonos ARC or Playbar and voice contro

Hi Folksfurther questions, I’m sorry my room is only 4m x 4m and I currently have a Playbar and 2 play 1swould I see any major benefit in upgrading to an ARC from the existing playbar or is the addition of a sub only to be considered as the other option? 75% of my listening is music, the remainder movies.I’m not conversant with voice control 😥 if I purchased either one (arc or sub) and used voice control would it still enable the play1s as these are not voice controlled?Although my tv does NOT have eARC but it has ARC, by using An ARC playbar are the upfiring 2 speakers in the ARC utilised if I play DD 5.1 or used only in Atmos soundtracks?Thank youMartin

Move Questions

When the Move is operating on wifi my understanding is that you have control of treble and bass via the S2 app equalizer and the app shows the Moves battery status. My question is how do you control bass and treble and monitor battery life when operating on Bluetooth? Also, does anyone have any idea of the replacement battery price?

Streaming service in other countries

Hi, I live in Hong Kong, and I have an active subscription with NetEase Cloud music 网易云音乐, and Youtube Music. I have tried to set my profile location to China, to eventually add that music service to my account. But then now I could not use Youtube music. I have to pick either Youtube music or NetEase Cloud music. But I use both. Any workaround other than keep switching my profile location? This might be a request to the Sonos Team. Is it possible to allow NetEase Cloud music in Hong Kong? Or the other way around Youtube music in China?

is a boost the answer?

Hi,i have a lot of different Sonos models in my House, all connected via wifi from a wifi-6 Mesh router set-up.Some speakers are in pair-connection and others are alone in a Room. Sometimes when i play Music on all speakers, There is a short lack of Sound from one or more of the speaker/speakers.sometimes just one speaker from a paired connection looses the Sound for a minute or so, and other times it’s just random which Room loses the Sound. I’m i the only one the experience this?and is There a smart solution to this, Sonos boost or something Else?

unable to update S1 controller on laptop nor to play ANY music source

Getting more and more frustrating to play Sonos via Windows..Error 1101, ‘unable to play music’, empty library ...Reading thru Tips and tricks I see often“Reboot each Sonos product in your home by unplugging the power cable, waiting 10 seconds, then plugging it back in. Once you have rebooted all of your Sonos products, check to make sure they all show up in your Sonos app, then attempt the update again “really ? They don’t show up when re-plugged in, I have to re-add them one by one,.. 6 speakers + beam + Sub.. What a pain..
