Adding Sonos Roam for TV Sound in Another Room: Compatibility with Beam Gen 2

I’m using the Beam Gen 2 as a surround sound system with Sinfoniks. I’m considering adding a Roam to listen to the TV sound in another room using the group function. Is this possible?

Basement Sound System - Amp or Port

Good afternoon!I’m in the process of renovating my basement.  I’ve included a schematic layout and I need the best way to power and control the speakers I’ve installed.  All speakers have been hardwired back to the AV rack in the utility room.  They’re cheap Micca 6 Ohm in ceiling speaks I got off Amazon.  And I’ll only be using speakers for music as I have a dedicated home theater elsewhere.  Ideally I would like to have 2 zones.  The first zone would be in the gym where there are 2 speakers.  The other zone would be in the remainder of the basement where there are a total of 5 speakers.  My first thought was to have 2 Sonos Amps, but I understand that since I have an odd number of speakers in total (7), that would cause an issue here.  Second thought would be to get a multizone amp and connect 2 sonos ports to keep the zones separate.  I also have an old S2 connect I could implement somehow.  However, based on my initial research, this option would likely be much more expensive than

Any likelihood of being able to have a device to create any number of atmos speakers? 9.3.6?

I really like the aesthetic of the speakers and would like to great a surrounding room of speakers with them.I would like to also use a mix of speakers including the picture frame and light models with the IKEA collab.I would Ideally like a 9.3.6 setup.3 subwoofers… one of the bigger one and two of the smaller ones at the rear of the sofa.Then the wall speakers for the celling.The thing is, I do understand there will be now speaker timing added to this so I was thinking maybe they could bring out a unit one day that allows a user to connect whatever setup they have and include a multi direction microphone to tune a timing alignment setting to the setup.Because also, Atmos music in the producer community is starting to rise, we will eventually end up with Atmos music mixes as a standard at some point.Food for thought Sonus?I’m a producer and mix engineer myself also… any plans of studio monitors?… (side note that isn’t that important)

Help me design my Great Room, Kitchen, and Outdoor setup please!

Hello!I am reaching out for some advice on how to best set up my great room (Zone 1), kitchen (Zone 2), and patio (Zone 3). We are building a new house, so running more cable is no issue. I would rather set up the house now with all the wiring ran and slowly buy the Sono’s products to install, than try to fish wire once the house is finished. Also, please refer me the best possible solution (acting like money isn’t an issue even though it is lol). Attached are two different layouts that I could see us doing with the living room furniture, so please refer the best for both layouts. Lastly, the great room ceilings are 20ft tall at the peak so that makes it interesting. The vaulted ceilings end on the dotted line between the great room and the kitchen. I feel like there isn’t a good way to explain everything so sorry for the confusion...Zone 1 - Great room:I am thinking an ARC (plugged in via ethernet) and a sub for sure, but my fear is that might not be enough for how big the room actual

Connecting my speakers

Lately I have had a very hard time connecting all of my speakers to my Sonos. I have 5 speakers in my workout room and every time I workout at least a couple of them will not connect and I have to go through the steps of unplugging the Wi-Fi router and then waiting for it o connect again and even that doesn't connect all of them. I used them for 3-years without ever having an issue and then it started and I don’t knw why I am having so much trouble connecting. Please Help :-(

sonos poor support for existing s1 customers.

What really pisses me off about this S1 S2 thing is that it is absolutely possible to make later technology work with the older technology. The new units have more memory and faster processors so can easily deal with the old requirement.I recently purchased a sonos roam, what a load of bollocks to set it up, you need to set up a new system and your old kit won't work. it is so easy for sonos to provide the old functionality on new tech they just want to squeeze their customers.

Music Library Privacy

Hi, I just discovered today that other people on my wifi has been able to look through my playlists and music library’s without even needing to log into my account on the Sonos app- which I’m not too happy about. Is there anyway to fix this? I’m not sure why by default Sonos lets anyone access all the playlists from my music services

different music on different speakers - do i need 2 amps or two ports?

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.

iOS app all speakers disconnect when deselecting just one

I use the SONOS app on iOS.  When i deselect a speaker they all stop playing music or whatever and the app freezes and is unusable.  Any suggestions or help would be useful.  I had this system as it is supposed to be flexible etc and should not have to reboot the router or whole system every time i want to stop playing sound from a speaker.

Using Port question

My Port is up and running and sounds fantastic. But I have a question. When I’m playing a vinyl, cassette or cd through Port I always have to group the rooms (TV Room) when I have to flip the vinyl or change to the cassette or CD player. In other words I have to go to my app and group my Port (TV Room2) to my TV Room/Garage/Bedroom/Move in order to here the music playing. It’s a little annoying I have to go to the app and group the Port every time. Is this normal?

Updating TV surround sound system

I have a new Samsung 65 in OLED tv. I have linked it to my existing surround sound system with 5 speakers a sub woofer and a 7 year old pioneer amp. I’m using ARC to route the sound through the amp to my system. I am having problems in the following areas :--powering the system on without having to use 3 separate controls-the pioneer software is dated and doesnt allow the full quality of picture.-the sound isnt everything I’d hoped forIf I replaced the amp with a new Sonos amp would it solve my issues?
