Sonos App

My app consistently gets an error when opening, sometimes connects and often then drops the connection once music is playing. It does this on theee different iPhones. I have reset the Play 1, Re booted the router, checked MAC addresses match on the router but it still happens. Is it just a completely useless app as this has been going on for a year and forums seem to all have the same issue?

which speaker to choose

4 years ago I installed a playbase, woofer and 2 alexa-enabled Sonos Ones (1st gen) in my family room. Since in this configuration only one of the two sonos ones will respond to alexa, I think I will relocate one to my study and replace it in the family room with a speaker that is not voice-enabled. I have two questions: 1. what is the best choice of speaker to purchase to substitute the existing sonos one, and 2. Can I configure a single speaker in the study to play mono, or can it only be configured to play either left or right?TIA .... Greg

Our current system is mainly s1.  We want to add home theater to our system and still be able to use the old products with it.  What are our options?

Sonos One SL

Hello, Quick question, SONOS ONE GEN2 and SONOS ONE SL are the same product, but for the microphones. I noted that  SONOS BEAM and SONO MOVE use their microphones also for optimizing the sound, and not only for the assistance. I was wondering if the Sonos One Gen2 do the same time (or will do), or well, if its microphones are only for the assistance?? Thank you !

S2 App Suggestion for Sonos to Implement.... what do you think?

I wish Sonos would have the sub adjustments on the same screen as the EQ. It would make fine tuning the sound so much easier, especially when A/B testing more/less bass on eq versus more/less bass on sub setting.It would also be great to have the option to save different eq and sub presets for different kinds of music (or tv). Anyone agree?

widget please

Again requesting a widget, has been requested before , but I am unable to add my voice as a customer since that thread was closed: I own 10 of your devices. I would only consider adding to the system if the focus was taken off baby monitors and put back on things that improve basic usage of your devices. And easier to access volume control would be a big improvement  thanks

Beam problem with Sony tv

We have problems with Beam and TV Sony KD49XH8596. For only TV audio ( no music streaming, no control by App ), we found that the problem is solved deactivating  wifi from Beam. Anyone else had found this method working?

Home Theater

I purchased an Arc. Also have the sub and 2 Gen 2 5's as surround speakers. Replaced a Playbar. May I use the Playbar in a different room and create a 2d home theater with a surround system? I have Playbar 3s to use as the surround speakers.

Using only One Speakers in a rear setup with Beam

So, our TV in the bedroom shares a wall with the nursery.  Is there a way to only play TV audio out of Sonos One Speaker pair set up as rears to be bedside, and mute the Beam under the TV?  We are concerned about sound keeping our baby awake at night.

Room ungrouped

Was there another update last night?  My 8 am alarm started, but no music in Office.  Checked the app, Office had been ungrouped.  This happens every time there’s an update.

Anyone actual found a crackle/clip solution?

Apple Music from within the Sonos app has no crackle/clip, it only occurs when using audio from video source. I'm using a matrix to connect to a projector, with the Sonos-provided optical adapter for the signal to the Arc, HDMI cable is 4K. I’m still within the return window on the Sonos products, so if in all these posts and years NO ONE has found a definitive solution to this highly common problem, they are sadly going back. Great sound for music, but the point was to be the theater sound system.

No sound through receiver to TV

Hi,I run my cable box and Apple TV through a Sony 5.1 receiver to a Samsung TV. The output from the receiver is “tv out/arc” but is NOT going to the ARC HDMI, the Sonos Arc beam is going to that HDMI port. Unless I connect the component (cable box, Apple TV) directly to the TV, skipping the receiver, I can’t get the sound to the Sonos, it appears the sound will only go to the wired speakers on the receiver. Any suggestions to get the receiver “in the loop” so to speak? I’d rather not buy an HDMI switch for the components, or try to run the cables back through the wall to the tv individually.

Add Music Service Before Connecting to Product

Hello, Is it possible to add a music service before connecting to a Sonos product?I am trying to test the connection to Apple Music before connecting to a product owned by a venue that will be playing my music over a Sonos product. Which means that I am unable to connect to the product now. Right now, ‘Add Services & Voice’ is greyed out in the iOS Sonos app. Thanks!

Sonos for 460 m2 warehouse

Hello,  I am wondering if I can use Sonos one sl in a 30x15x6 m2 warehouse, the construction is made from metal insulated sandwitch panels. Here we are going to open a motorcycle clothing store and I am looking for a solution for backround music. We need to be able to speak to the customers which are going to visit us but at the same time i would like to hear a nice sound :)What do you think can i get a decent result out of 6-8 Sonos one sl? Do I need also a Sonos Sub? I made a test today with a JBL Xtreme 2 which I borrowed from a friend (I hang it at 3 m height near one of the walls) but I was not impressed maybe because the space is so big and all the walls are metallic. Thank you in advance for your help. Ionut

Sonos App menu

Bonjour, C'est laborieux ; pourquoi donc quand après avoir fouillé dans l'arborescence des radios mondiales et sélectionné une radio, par exemple du Japon, l'application me ramène t-elle au menu de départ (cf photo d'écran ci-jointe) ?Ce désagrément existe aussi dans les émissions trouvées sur le Net (cf encore photo d'écran ci-jointe, "Binge Audio" dans "liste") ; étant revenu au menu principal je suis incapable de retrouver sa source. Et je suis déçu !Peut-on paramétrer mieux ?CordialementHELAS je ne peux ici vous envoyer de pi. jte.Pascal M
