We have 10 Sonos speakers and have them grouped for different rooms. However these hardly ever work properly even though we follow instructions and go into groups, create and apply. We ask Alexa to play a certain group and it misses some speakers or adds them on. We are so frustrated with the set up we are considering taking g the whole system out and goingvback to our original system which was Bose 

I am on the fence about getting the original Arc.  I know that the Arc ultra is newer and has more bass than the og, but I’ve also read reviews comparing the original Arc to the Roku smart sound bar (which I currently own, and frankly enjoy the sound of, except for some quirks with my Samsung TV), and those reviews state that the Arc (og) has more bass than the Roku bar.  The Roku with the surrounds gives a nice home theater experience in my NYC home (which in New York City is still basically an apartment for most of us) and the Roku bar has enough bass for my needs.   I’m not looking for whole house audio, just a good and simplified home theater w/o the whole receiver & wires etc, (which I’ve had before)).   Soundbars are really some of the hardest things to really audition in-store.  Sonos & Bose are really the only two displays that let you hear them.  Outside of the TV displays, which to me are useless.  The rack of 10+ bars on display (that usually don’t work) is no help.

Hello, for my new house I was thinking about a PC monitor connected to an Apple TV and using a pair of Era 300 as speakers. I will mainly listen to music through Apple Music, and watch some videos.I read that the Era 300 will only play stereo and not ATMOS while watching videos, but I can accept that. Most of the time I would listen to music, so I prefer a pair of speakers rather than a soundbar.The most annoying thing I read is that Apple TV would reset the audio output every time it goes to sleep, so I’d have to change it to Sonos all the times. Is that correct? If so, any workaround?Any other drawbacks? Would you suggest a setup like that?Thanks in advance for your suggestions. 

Really interested in enhancing my TV/movie experience. Sounds like the Sonos Arc Ultra is the best, however I don't want anything rattling the walls as I live in an apartment with a shared wall. Is the Arc Ultra going to be fine in a relatively small space (roughly 400 sq ft), or should I consider the Beam/Ray models? Thanks.

My Sonos Roam disconnects and reconnects from my wifi network literally every minute. My network is a Unifi Cloud Gateway Ultra and U6 Pro AP. When connected, the Unifi console shows the Experience for the Roam as “”Excellent”. Other devices in the same room do not have this problem.Any idea how I can diagnose/fix this? 

When I discover new music/content on my phone,     1. How to add it to my library, anshow to listen to things over Sonos speakers - that is, stream new music through Sonos speakers/system.?  ( content not not listed in the Sonos offerings)?…

Hi. looking for advice on upgrade. I currently have a old play 5 and 2 x’s play 3. used to stream from Spotify and also my Rega planar 1 plus. all works fine although not updated for a few years. looking to upgrade to a beam and a couple of Move 2. (I have been gifted 1 Move 2) I understand the turntable may be an issue and require additional components. can anyone help and advise on the best set up. regards mark

Does anyone know if I can modify a Gen 2 Beam to run on a regulated 12v Supply? I totally understand warranty and safety issues. 

I have two houses, each with their own Sonos systems. For a long time, I had a single Music Library (ML) at the primary house, hosted on my Synology NAS. When at my secondary house, I did not have access to that ML, as it seems you have to be on the same LAN. I recently installed a Synology NAS at my secondary house, which replicates the content on the NAS at my primary house. I successfully added a second ML to Sonos from the NAS at the secondary house, but when I try to access content at the secondary house, it seems Sonos tries to get the content from the ML at my primary house and can’t find it. How do I switch between ML’s on separate LANs? Do I have to delete the one on the other LAN, and then re-add it when I switch locations? Or is there a better way?

I have been unable to access Relisten via Sonos for a couple of months now. Works fine on my iOS Relisten app. Any thoughts? Many thanks. (I am on the S1 app with a mix of Sonos products, some not S2 compatible.)

Would be great to have a widget on iOS/iPad that displays the current song playing.

I have a Sonos Boost that all my S2 Sonos devices are connected quite happily to.  I have a pair of Play 5 Gen 1s on the S1 app. These are connected to my normal WiFi (as I can see WM1 in the settings). I’d like to get them onto Sonosnet at as well as we have a busy WiFi area that causes interference here however in the S1 app Sonosnet is greyed out.  If I Ethernet one of my play 5s into my router will it then create another Sonosnet for its paired Play 5? 

Hi All, recently set up the new arc ultra which is amazing! I want to finish my home theatre setup now. What are people's recommendations on completing this with a not so crazy budget? Would the sub mini and era 100 combo work? Room size about 19ft by 13ft. Thanks!

I have really enjoyed the Sonos Radio HD offering and prefer some of the stations over what Pandora does.Can you PLEASE make it available to stream from the web or an iPhone so I can enjoy when away from home?  Else makes it a hard subscription to keep compared to other offerings.

Hey Community, I’m hoping you can help me figure out a solution to a problem I’m having getting any audio at all to come through my SONOS home theater system when I switch over to use one of our gaming systems. I have a home theater system in place that includes as Arc, two Play Ones as surrounds and a Gen 4 sub. That is all connected to my Epson LS12000 projector and I use an AppleTV 4K for streaming. That all works great. However, when I manually unplug the AppleTV from the projector and plug in a gaming system instead, I’m able to get the picture but no sound. I have no clue why. I’ve read pretty well every thread I can find that approaches this area, but haven’t found an exact match or developed a better understanding of the context of the situation. If anyone can help explain it to me, I’d be very appreciative of that!

Bei der ganzen Kritik in verschiedenen Dingen sollte sich der Hersteller SONOS vielleicht auch mal der Kritik über die ACE Ohrpolster annehmen.In verschiedenen Test/Reviews sowie Foren-Beiträgen werden die Ohrpolster bemängelt, dass man bereits nach kurzer Zeit darunter schwitzt.Bringt doch endlich mal Mesh Ohrpolster wie beim Apple AirPods Max.Und nein, der Zubehörmarkt von Drittanbietern hat keine Mesh Ohrpolster im Programm Gruß Sascha

I have over 2700 songs listed alphabetically in my music library in iBroadcast cloud.  If I want to play a song in the middle of the alphabet I have to finger scroll the queue several times to get there in the Controller App.  Sometimes I have to finger scroll for several minutes depending on where the song lies in the alphabet, and every scroll has a loading time so that adds to it.  It would be helpful if there were a scroll bar in the queue or a faster way to get to a song.  Any suggestions?  I am using an Android Phone.  

I want to purchase sonos connect amplifier , I shall be setting up a WiFi connection with Internet. In the event Internet is down momentary on my WiFi,  will I still be able to play stored music on phone over the WiFi on sonos connect amp?Internet services is unreliable in my region, I don't want to get frustrated not been able to play music when Internet is down?

Our open-concept kitchen, living room, dining room is around 30x25 feet. No TV. We plan to listen to music at a low volume, and so was looking at setting up 3 stereo pairs using Era 100s (6 in total).  We likely would play the entire grouping of the 3 stereo pairs together at once. Was considering adding a sub to the space.  Is it possible [or desirable] to add two sub-minis for instance? Or is one likely sufficient? Or would a single sub gen 4 work better perhaps? Thank you for any suggestions

Looking for opinions on what to add to my Arc ultra. Room size 19ft by 13ft. Looking for a sub and surrounds. Thanks

Now that the new app is close to being back to the functionality of the original app, I have one major problem that I want to know if it’s just me.i have created a large queue of songs from my music library. On the pc app it shows the queue and also places the queue display at the currently playing song.on the iOS app the queue seems to reload every time I go into it and the album art then takes an age to load. It never puts the queue position to the currently playing song so I have to scroll endlessly to find it.i tried having the iOS queue open and then using the pc controller to move to the next song but the iOS queue didn’t change. Weirdly, if I open the iOS queue and while it is considering showing the album art I change the track using the  pc controller, the iOS album art appears instantly.

Can users can the functionality to set an alarm for a group of speakers?  For instance I have a group called morning that includes my bedroom and bathroom speakers. It would be great for them to play together at a set time.  The current configuration is not functional. I would have to check daily to make sure the speakers were last played together for the alarm to work as wanted. This has been a long standing issue and a widely requested feature for at least 2 years. 

I'm thinking of upgrading my phone. Is there a chance that the App works better on a newer device?

Hi, not sure if this has been asked before but I wanted to check on placement for surrounds.We have our couches to the left and right of the TV a few feet away. We dont have a couch facing the TV directly. I have room behind the couch to the right to place surrounds on a stand. Would this work or will I not get that immersiveness as I'm not directly in front of the TV?
