Sonos Playbar intermittently cuts out

My Playbar randomly cuts out. Internet signal is strong, but it happens with both Google Mesh and Eero mesh. I moved it from my upstairs to my basement and it seemed to work fine. Moved it back upstairs and it worked fine for a bit and then started cutting out again. Note that all areas of my house are on the same channel, so it’s not like moving from upstairs to downstairs should’ve changed anything.Neither the google mesh or Eero can change channels. The Eero automatically chooses the least cluttered channels, so this shouldn’t be an issue.I have four Sonos speakers on my upstairs floor - 3 play:1s and 1 Playbar. The former work fine and never skip. The latter will skip even though it’s only about 8 feet from the surrounds that do not. I could try to create a Sonosnet but CS told me that wouldn’t help because I’d need at least three wired devices. The only Sonos I can reasonably wire is one on my main floor since that is where the internet comes in. The eero hubs don’t have Ethernet

2023 Spotify Wrapped User Data Mixed Up!

There definitely needs to be a discussion about how to get a multi person family that uses Spotify with Sonos to always use the correct spotify user.  I am an IT Admin with deep experience with data and configurations, and some how, my wifes listening has still been merged with my spotify listening when I look at my 2023 Wrap data from spotify.  Even though her songs do not show up in my Spotify recently played in Spotfy, her songs DO show up as my most listened to songs in my Wrap Up.  Spotify support is absolutely no help.  I have talked to multiple support people.  All seem to get to the same point.  If we listen on the spotify app, then this will not happen.  But since we are using sonos, this is probably the reason.Using The Spotify app to play defeats the purpose of having a multi-room sonos system (THAT WAS EXPENSIVE) and multi person family.  I really think Sonons needs to work on improving this.  Anyone have any tips?

Mainly stereo music: 2x Era 100 + Sub Mini or 2x Era 300 (plan attached)

Dear all, I´m searching for a (perfect) systemmainly for stereo music. I use SPOTIFY and therefore Dolby-Atmos is no topic for me, at least at the moment. It´s a nice-to-have function to be future-proof, but does not have the 1st priority. sometimes home cinema, but not very often. However, as for Dolby Atmos, it´s a nice-to-have function.There are these options:2x Era 100 + Sub Mini or  2x Era 300 (+ perhaps later a Sub (3. Gen) or newer) or (perhaps 2x Era 100 + 1x Era 300)2x Five are no real option, because those are too big (box size) for the room and furniture)The living room has 32 sqm, the kitchen 9,5 sqm. There is a sliding door between the living room and the kitchen which is open most of the time. Most times music is played at moderate loudness (background music), not very loud. Is it correct that 2x Era 300 are not the best option for stereo music becasue the Era 300 are made for Dolby Atmos and not for stereo and that 2x Era 100 are the better option for stereo music?

multiple surround speakers

I have a tv with an Arc and two sets of non-Sonos speakers (4 speakers total in addition to arc). I also have a Sonos amp and have connected both sets of external speakers to that amp. I want to use all the speakers in surround with Tv: 1 set of external speakers in front of room and 1 set in the back. However, the app seems to only recognize 1 set of the external speakers as surrounds with my TV/Arc (front of room pair).Is there a way to link the second set of speakers (which are in the back of the room)? All external speakers are hardwired to the Sonos amp. The tv/arc are connected via hdmi cable to each other. The amp and TV/Arc are not connected by any wires.

40% Coupons

People on Reddit have been saying they are receiving 40% coupons for any Sonos product. Sounds like it’s directed to long time sonos customers. Anyone know what the criteria are?  Or anything about this?

Sonos Playbar v Sonos Arc

HiI love my playbar and it has been great. Contemplating to upgrade to Arc, doing some online research and can see few people commenting the sound of Playbar is better than Arc and Arc sounds "hollow". My use will be for streaming movies in living room mainly, atmos content will be from Disney, Prime. I will be adding a Sub in near future. Thanks for any advice.

Deleting rooms

I only have had my ERA 300s and Beam for 2 days and I am feeling confused, stupid and discouraged. Is there an easy way just to delete a room(s)?  I try to learn and solve things myself but other than a “factory reset” I do not see how to delete a room.  My Beam is connected to my TV and I have two ERA 300s. All I wish to do is have my two 300s linked together so that I can add to my Beam together when I want to play music.Thanks!

Connecting Three Era 300s

Hello Sonos Community, I purchased three total Era 300s, two of which I setup as a stereo pair in my living room. I would like to connect the third one to the stereo pair, and set it in a different room, but have it playing the same music as the stereo pair. Is this possible? Or can only two Era 300s connect and play the same music at once? Thank you!

Can I connect a Gen 1 Connect Amp with Sonos Arc / Gen 3 Sub

Hi I just bought a Gen 3 sub and sonos arc. Am liking the sound after tuning it yesterday. Curious. I have two in wall surrounds. If I were to get a connect amp gen 1, will this integrate with the sound bar / sub? I hear Connect Amp Gen 1 works on S1 app...I don’t mind that...if it means when playing sounds through my TV the sound bar, surronds and sub work together.  Thanks.

Sonos Setup: Vinyl Options

I wan to get into vinyl and could use some advice on the best Sonos setup. After some initial research, it looks like a solid starting point would be the Sonos Five paired with a quality turntable.Currently, my setup includes four Sonos One SLs (wall-mounted) — one in the living room corner above the TV, two in the dining room, one in the kitchen — and a Play:1 in the office on a different floor.Here are the options I'm considering: Purchase a new Sonos Five along with a Pro-Ject T1 (potential savings if bought separately rather than direct from Sonos). Explore a second-hand Sonos 5 (gen2) along with a Pro-Ject T1 (or similar) Consider a second-hand Connect paired with a Pro-Ject T1 and continue using my existing One SLs and Play:1 (is this wise or possible) Additionally, I'm thinking about adding a Sonos Beam to mount under the TV (not right away).If not a Sonos Beam, would I be able to use the Five, move it and connect it to the TV on the occasional “movie night”?I'd appreciate y

Breaking in Speakers

From my experience, the best Sound Experience requires an initial phase of “breaking in” the Speakers to expand the ranges and to develop the sound Maturity.Is this recommended for Sonos products?  (i.e. Running very dynamic bass and challenging treble albums in repeat to open up the Sound Range & Spectrum)Any suggestions in this regard as well?  Thanks!

Sonos on separate VLAN on unifi

I have read lots and lots of posts on this but many of them are old posts.  I have tried many things but still no luck.  I have my sonos boost wired to a port on my ubiguiti switch which is setup to use a separate VLAN than the rest of my network.  All my speakers are connected to the boost wireless through the Sonosnet.  After two very frustrating days of trying to get all the sonos stuff moved to the new VLAN, I finally called support.  The guy right away had me uncheck Multicast Enhancement and Multicast and Broadcast Control.  That seemed to work to get the speakers setup on the sonosnet with the boost and be visable from my iphone when on the same wireless network as the speakers.  However, if I am not on the same wireless network, the Sonos app cannot see the sonos system.  I have tried entering Firewall rules for various ports from all the threads that I have read but still nothing.  I am wondering if I have the Firewall rules setup correctly.  I am fairly new with unifi, so sti

Roam SL Trueplay

Hi, I know that the Roam (mic) does have an automatic trueplay function.I also know that the SL (speechless) doesn’t have any mic build in, hence no automatic trueplay.What I don’t understand is why trueplay on the Roam SL is not available through the mic of my iPhone.Just like you use trueplay on the OLD “play ones”, they also did not have any mic.Hence trueplay was achieved by using the mic of your mobile phone.Am I wrong and is it possible, or are you planning to add this feature in the future? Regards.

Advice on home theater setup with in-wall speakers, amps, and sub mini

Hello,I just bought a new house that has in-wall speakers and a mount for a TV, but nothing else and I am new to Sonos. I’m looking for some advice on how to set up a home theater system.Here is the setup: there are a total of 8 in-wall speakers throughout the house that are all wired to one spot in a mechanical closet. The first 2 speakers flank a fireplace in the center of the living room, and the TV mount is off to the right side (i.e., not centered on the main 2 speakers). The TV mount is wired with power, HDMI, and ethernet. There are 2 more speakers behind the living room in the kitchen, which is open to the living room (so could be used a rears). There are 2 more speakers in an elevated loft space to the left of the living room which is open to the living room, so could be used with the TV theater setup but might throw the acoustics off since they are on the left and there is not a matching pair on the right. There are also 2 more speakers in a separate bedroom.One option I was
