Era rears in wall niche

Hello Everyone. I'm new here and new to Sonos. Please help me with two questions, as I set up my TV viewing experience.  It's a small room with little wall space in the rear. The couch is against the rear wall, which is mostly a window with a bit of wall on either side.First, I'm wondering if Era 100s would be sufficient, or 300s would be better and work well in a set up right above our heads.Second, we don't want them mounted on the wall... rather we're making niches for them. We will put them in the niches with their fronts sticking out to minimize sound degradation from being enclosed in niches. Has anyone tried this? Think it'll be fine? Does the sound come out other than from the front?I really appreciate your advice.

Exporting Sonos playlists

I am a little shocked that Sonos still hasn’t provided a way to export a playlist yet. I have invested a lot into the speaker system because of the quality however being restricted like this is discerning to say the least. I am not sure what the point is now in creating a Sono playlist ever and I’ll keep to only using Spotify or Apple musics playlist features. Sonos I would highly recommend you invest in this feature moving forward.

Replace single One Gen 2

Guys,i plan to replace a single One gen 2. It is used for radio and music and as a very good timer when I bake bread :-) As a single speaker it is a bit too weak so I want to upgrade it to something more powerfull. My first choice is the Move (gen 1 or 2), not only it is bigger and more powerfull but I am liking the fact I can put it in other areas of my home easily. I doubt I will use it outside, but who knows. My other idea is one Sonos era 100 to put in place of my One Gen 2 and a single Roam to try and see if I will ever use my speaker outside. Oh and the discounted price of Move Gen 1 is very tempting…What do you think?Neven

Deleting a song from Sonos

You can’t delete a song from Sonos.  Sonos is grabbing the song from your source, which could be a disc or a streaming service like Pandora, Tidal, etc.  You need to go back to the source, likely on a PC or computer, and delete it there.

new installation

I am stepping towards incorporating Sonos into my existing system and I need help on what I would need to accomplish this. At this point. I have 2 complete home 5.1 theater systems both consisting of wired in wall Polk and definitive technology speakers including powered subs running off of Onkyo receivers. The problem is that I can’t control them as zones or a complete system. I am also wanting to incorporate other small speakers throughout house to eliminate having to turn volume up high to hear in each room. I would hate to have to ditch all the money already spent to remove and replace this quality equipment if I don’t have to. If there is a way to add whatever is needed into existing systems and make them all cominicate and work properly as a whole house system that would be amazing. Please let me know your thoughts.

Sonos app and Apple Music playlist

I have been delighted with my Sonos speakers!   I have six One SL’s and an Ikea Symfonisk.   The Sonos app has been problematic.   It is currently not reflecting a new playlist that I created in Apple Music.   It does see my other Apple Music playlists and has updated the AM playlist view recently.  The Sonos app did not import any of my AM playlists into Sonos, although it did import music without playlists from iTunes.  It errors out when I try to rebuild my music index.  I am sure that I am greatly exceeding the Sonos app’s limits in terms of playlists—I have hundreds of playlists and at least 50,000 tracks.    I can work around the Sonos app by just playing back from Apple or Alexa via Airplay.   Drastically reducing the number of playlists in Apple Music did not fix the Sonos app import problems, and cutting back on my playlists is not a good solution for me.So my questions are: How do you force the rebuild of the Sonos app’s Apple Music playlist view? Why is the AM playlist view

Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi 6

Hi,I have 2 WIFI networks at home.The first [1], quite old using 2.4GHz only, is used mainly for connecting home control devices like air conditioning and other smart home devices.The second [2] is based on 3 Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 + 5GHz) with 1 master and 2 satellites. All devices like smartphones and tablets are by default connected to this one for much better speed and coverage in the house.Please note that both Wi-Fi networks are connected to the same router. So, same sub-network.I just purchased a first Sonos device to check if this would provide a flexible solution for streaming music & radio in my home. I can successfully connect the One SL to the old network [1] after connecting the phone to that specific WIFI network as well. But when moving back the phone the new WIFI network, the connection is gone. Of course…On the other hand, I’m unable to connect the One SL to the new network [2]. The connection procedure is always aborted.I also connected the One SL to the wired

Possible to take control of a previously owned Sonos system

We have the opportunity to buy a couple of Sonos units (Sones One and Playbar) installed in the office of a bankrupt company. We will move soon in the office and I would be interested to buy this installation. My concern though is to take control of this installation and attach it to an account we would create for this occasion.The previous owner has vanished somewhere on the planet and it is impossible to get presumably actual account on this system.The question is simple : is it possible to reassign this system to an new account without the credentials of the actual one?

Touch Controls in a room setup

How do I submit a feature request. I would like to disable touch controls on individual speakers within a room rather than disabling touch controls on everything within the room.  Moderator edit: changed “group” to “room” for clarity.

Help with Home theatre setup: Arc, 4 media inputs, 4k TV & 4k projector outputs (both with earc)

Complete newbie in desperate need of help to create a home theatre set up with a recently gifted Arc and Benq 2710i. I’ve searched and searched this community and the web to find an answer but to no avail, even AI failed me. I know it’s probably me, so I’m hoping the experts in this community can help. My equipment is as follows: Sound: Sonos Arc, 2 x Sonos One  Outputs: Samsung Frame (2023), Benq 2710i (both have earc) 4 media inputs (Virgin cable TV, Firestick, Blueray DVD, HDMI WiFi dongle for laptop).Here’s my wish list of a setup: output of all the inputs, only 1 at a time, to either the TV or projector and have atmos sound to the Arc. Use the TV media dongle on the Benq 2710i to output sound to the Arc.   This last wish I can ditched if it creates too much of a complicated /impossible solution.I expect to need to invest in other technologies to make this possible and that Sonos officials will not be able to make those recommendations, but this talented community can!Thanks in adv

TV, Arc + 4 x One SL

Hi, I would like to come up with an idea that I hope can be solved in an update.I have bought a lot of Sonos for my house and it works great but in the living room I have 4 Sonos One, an Arc and a Sub (Gen3) I have found out when we watch TV you can only use the 2 One that sits in the back so only Arc, Sub and 2 One are playingI find this really annoying and wanted to know if it would be possible to get everything to work together when watching TV?With kind regards

Soros-unpair surrounds to use as stereo pair & re-pair as surrounds

I have read that this can be done with the Soros app and it is exactly what I am trying to achieve.I have 2 5’s for stereo which I would love to also use as surrounds, music sounds awful using all as a group that is just not for me.unchecking surrounds and rechecking retuning with the official app is far too time consuming, how hard can it be to save the tune?The posts I have read say, yes just do that with Soros1 click stereo, 1 click surroundsBut not how to do that.Do you start as all separate speakers, as surrounds, stereo pair?And then what?I am sure its easy when you know how.

Replace a pair of Sonos Ones or add a Sub Mini

I currently have two Sonos Ones setup in a stereo pair in my kitchen/dining/living space (approx 16 m2). The speakers are mainly used for listening to music/radio in one half of that room. What does everyone think will be a better upgrade - adding a Sub Mini to my existing setup, or replacing the Ones with Era 100s?Initially just looking for thoughts on what people think will immediately sound better rather than concerns with future-proofing, etc. which I’ll consider separately.Will adding a sub mini create a bigger overall sound in the room as you would get from bigger speakers, or just add thumping base?

Should I connect the Sonos one speakers to the arc wirelessly or add as sub? Should I add ceiling speakers??

Hi There, I have the Sonos arc and Gen 3 subwoofer for some time, and I am in love with sound quality, I just purchased four Sonos 1 Sl wireless speakers, with Stands that I will install today.  My questions are:​​​​​​​should I connect the Sonos 1 speakers via Wi-Fi or through an Amp? my house comes with an option to add speakers on the ceiling, is this a good idea? I have 6 ceiling speaker ports, 2 in the main Lounge with the Sonos arc and surround speakers, 2 in the kitchen and two outside in a patio/pool area. Would I need 2 amps for this? how would it link to the Sonos ARC?

Beam Gen 2 Dolby Digital 5.1 vs Atmos Loudness

I’m writing to you after giving up on messing with settings and trying to figure out what is going on with my setup. I am completely puzzled and really need help.My setup consists of:- Apple TV 2022 128GB- PHILIPS 58PUS7805 TV- Sonos Beam Gen 2This TV model has 3 HDMI ports all marked as ARC, not eARC, so I connected the two devices to two random HDMI ports, using the included HDMI cable for the Sonos as I expect it is the best possible for the soundbar (correct me if I'm wrong). For the Apple TV, I bought a 2.1 HDMI cable with eARC compatibility (pretty expensive IMO, but went for the best I could find).I noticed the sound quality differs a lot on YouTube/HBO compared to ATV+ or Netflix. This difference consists in loudness and clarity of sound, I would say. After playing a lot with the settings and audio configurations, I managed to track this difference down to the fact that when the audio format is Dolby Digital 5.1 (on YouTube and HBO), the quality is WAY better than when in Dolby

BBC sounds app not working

BBC sounds has stopped working through Sonos app. I've uninstalled both apps but still when I try to add BBC sounds to the app it asks to authorise the BBC account but then goes to a "link not ready" page which just buffers. Does anyone know how to fix it?
