Please don't buy this people!

I think my Sonos 5 just died - less than two years old!

I have a Sonos 5 that worked perfectly until this morning. It was dropped from my system and wouldn't reconnect. When I unplug it and plug it back in, the white light comes on very briefly and then goes dark. Help!

music library search misses songs

Hi, I notice that sometimes the Android Sonos app does not find matches when I use the Music Library search function. I run the 'Update Music Library Index' daily so that is not the problem. Examples: 1) 'Scorpio Rising' -> when searching for 'ARTISTS' or 'SONGS' it does not show a song which is tagged as being from artist 'Scorpio Rising'. This seems like a bug somewhere. My tags are filled in correctly. When I search for an incomplete artist / title name, sometimes it finds the songs, sometimes not. Example 2) Artist = 'The Doors' .When I search for 'doors', it does not list 'The Doors'.

Can I hook TV to Connect Amp?

Hello, I'm putting a pair of speakers in the ceiling in our new house in the living room to jam Sonos. The Connect Amp will be in my AV closet a couple rooms away. We will have a TV on the wall in the living room. Can I just connect the left and right RCA jacks on the back of my TV with an extender cable to the left and right RCA jacks on the Connect Amp pictured below? If so how would I tell Sonos to use the TV as a source to send sound to the in ceiling speakers and control the volume with the TV remote? We will have an iPad mounted on the wall to control the Sonos music.

Indexing of new music is very slow!

Hi everyone. Indexing new music takes 30 - 40 minutes now. It was much faster before, if i remember correct it only took 1 - 5 minutes to add new music to my library before. I have a new Synology nas DS216play. I'm using Sonos-controller for PC when i update my library. All help would be highly appreciated! Regards Edvardsen

Balance control

Once again Sonos removes a feature. Truepkay does not help me at all. For years I've been able to adjust balance based on where I am sitting. Removing this feature has massively effected my usage. I don't want to wander around a room with my iPhone every time I move seat. Why has this been removed Really stupid thing to do.

Would I benefit from a dedicated DAC?

In my living room, I have a ZP90 connected to an older Sony A/V receiver (STR-DE597) that I bought on Craigslist. Earlier this year I added a pair of Polk TSi400 with a Polk subwoofer that I use for Sonos and my television. As I've been learning more about digital audio, I keep seeing references to dedicated DAC units as something that will really boost sound quality. My question is: with the components that I already have, would a DAC like the [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Peachtree-Audio-Dac--Digital-Converter/dp/B005MYDICQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1325283902&sr=8-2"]Peachtree DAC-iT[/URL] make a difference? My concern is that since my other components are not very high-end, the better sound quality of the DAC would not really come through. Since this unit is about $500, would that be better spent on some other component, like a new A/V receiver? And a related question: how would the DAC be wired? Does the output from the Sonos go to the DAC and then the output from the

Connect:Amp line-in plays everywhere except on the Connect:Amp

I have one Connect:Amp and two Play:1. The home theater is wired into the Connect:Amp through RCA line-in. The outdoor speakers are wired out through the speaker connections. The Connect:Amp and the outdoor speakers will play all music sources [b][u]except[/u][/b] line-in. The Play:1 speakers with play all music sources [b][u]including[/u][/b] Connect:amp line-in. Obviously line-in works, because I can get sound from it through the Play:1 speakers. Why can't I get the Connect:Amp speakers to play the Connect:Amp line-in. They play other sources.

So I finally got a TV with hdmi passthrough !!!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BSEQmVCDlLt/ :) So happy!!! I can see the Sonos dream now, no wire changes just brilliant sound constantly. Turn on the PS4 and Dolby 5.1 no clicking anything just on straight away! The difference from watching a movie when it wasn't getting passed through to now is remarkable, I thought the system was doing a good job putting the vocals to the front and background noises behind etc but now everything just sounds more clear and goes around the room to make the experience perfect! The TV was a Samsung UE49KU6400 btw in case anyone is interested. I think this is the future, TVs are getting better all the time and hopefully all of them will have this soon - Sonos is possibly just ahead of the time?

Music library > albums > ALBUM NAME combines albums with the same name.

When selecting an album to play from the list of albums, tracks with the same album name are combined even though they are different artists. For example "Dreams" by Whitest Boy Alive are combined with "Dreams" from The Allman Brothers. I have the latest sonos controller (4.2) for mac.

Sonos doen't work with Range Extenders - alternatives?

Hi all As the name suggests when my play3 connects to my Wifi Range extender, I get an error message saying sonos doesn't work with Wifi extenders. Does anyone know the rationale behind this? Also, what are my options in terms of trying to get a speaker to work in the dead spots of my apartment in lieu of an extender? Thanks in advance Paul

Connect Amp will not connect or factory rest

I have a connect amp which has dropped off my network. I attempted to reboot this a few times and although hardwired to my network it does not reappear in the list of players, nor does it appear to obtain an ip address from the router. After a few attempts at simple reboots by switching off, disconnecting power for 30 seconds and then turning it back on, I decided to try a hard reset. When I hold down the mute button and reapply power, the unit flashes white/orange about five times and then returns to solid white. It does not appear to perform the full reset or go to flashing green at any point. Ive tried doing a factory rest both with and without speakers connected, and with/without LAN cable connected. Am I looking at having to replace this amp? Any help much appreciated.

EQ shortcut on Android smartphone app?

The Android [b]tablet[/b] app has a shortcut to the Equalization screen from the Now Playing screen (see page 2-13 of the documentation: http://www.sonos.com/documents/productguides/en/AndroidTabletGuide_en.pdf). Will this be added to the Android [b]smartphone[/b] app? (And the iDevice apps for that matter?)

One tap access to equalizer

In the controller app I wish you could reach the EQ settings with a single tap or at least through the "..." option. It currently takes me 6 taps which seems like poor design.
