What to get

I had the arc with surrounds and sub before the infamous drop outs problem. I eventually gave up whilst I had an opportunity to return it, mainly down to the lack of information from Sonos. I have now moved on to the new Samsung Q990, which is fantastic, apart from, the rear and sub drop outs. I swear I am cursed with soundbars. The difference with the Samsung is that it briefly stops but 2 seconds later comes back, but It’s not right. So, is it safe to come back to Sonos? I loved the sound from it when I had it. Cheers ps, if I did, is it worth getting fives for surround as this Samsung is a lot better at surround than the arc.

Hi everyone, A little bit of context, I just bought a odyssey g70a monitor that doesnt have spearkers so I am thinking to buy the sonos ray but I realize that the monitor doesnt has optical audio input, it only has jack audio input, my question is, can I use a optical convert to jack cable to connect the sonos ray with my monitor? Will it work?

I am renovating my main floor right now and it will be entirely open. Per the title, there is no TV in this room nor will there be, and I would like to have good, booming music that can be heard in the whole space. I have some pictures attached, the room is approximately 27’x16’ or ~435 square feet.  

I’m building a new home and I have the opportunity to run with one of two options.  The room is fairly large with priority on home theatre, but to also play music in games room behind.  I’m looking for feedback on sound quality and ease of use.  Latency issues drive me mad btw!OP1: Arc in front, Sonos amp + ceiling rears, Sonos subOP2: TV connected to one amp driving in-wall speakers on the sides of the TV, and a second amp driving ceiling rears, Sonos subI am hoping to be able to simply turn on Sony TV and go (with full surround sound) without turning on other devices and messing with surround settings.  Also, to use iOS to play music in the room with a stereo channel (ceiling speakers are used as L/R and not surround channel).Thank you!

Hi all,Just looking to upgrade the master bedroom.. I’ve already got a couple Play Ones in there for music. Looking to pair them with either a Playbase or Beam Gen 2. I have an opportunity to get a new Playbase for $300. Vs $450 for the Beam Gen 2.  The TV is older so the lack of Dolby Atmos isn’t an issue at the moment. I am a bit concerned about future support for the Playbase. Not really concerned about not having Dolby Atmos in the bedroom. Any thoughts? Thanks :) 

Does anyone know if the Amp would be a good fit for either of these speakers? 

I’d like to replace my existing NETGEAR Router which seems to be dying with a new Nighthawk router.  Is the AX2700 a good choice.   I already own a Nighthawk EAX780 AX6000 extender and i notice SONOS complains about that all the time, and I’d like to not make the problem worse. 

Hey, just wondering before I buy a beam Gen2 if you can set it up with 2 symfoniska ikea x sonos speakers or if I need to buy two other speakers that are compatible

Hi, I'm looking to join to Sonos ecosystem and have found 2 offers and am wondering which is better. Option 1: 2 play 1s and a play 3 Option 2: 2 play 5s (gen 1)Mostly will be used for listening to music (techno and rap) and also for watching tv.From what I've read the play 5 gen 1s are significantly worse than the gen 2s and any comparisons I can find between 2 play 1s and play 5 (gen 1) say the plays are better due to the stereo pair. But if I had a pair of play 5 (gen 1) that would negate this point so I'm not sure which option I should choose.Thanks.  

I first shared this obsessive chart I made for my own amusement on the Sonos subreddit, and then discovered tonight it was actually conceptually covered already by @AjTrek1’s helpful and extremely thorough speaker comparison charts found here. But I’ll post mine here too in case some still find it useful or it has some unique info. Corrections and suggestions are welcome.(After I posted it on the Sonos subreddit, another contributor jumped in and provided many useful notes, as well as future product predictions. Those parts are not mine and while the notes sound correct, I haven’t verified them, and of course the speculative parts aren’t verifiable at all.)Needless to say this is miles from official, but I believe it’s accurate.Anyhoo, here it is: Sonos Compatibility and Features ChartCheers,Ivan.

We have a sonos playbar that has suddenly stopped working. We believe it may have stopped working because it was accidently turned up too loud.At present, we can’t even get any power lights to come on, we have tried a different cable and a factory reset but it’s still the same.Having spoken to Sonos support this afternoon because it is out of warranty all they have offer is 30% of a new product, which is not an option, we can’t afford it!They have also requested we send them the old product back before they will give us the discount code, which I expect is so they can repair it and sell in on as a refurbished item on their website for £349! This seems to be a complete scam to me!From reading through various conversations on this website it appears to be a common fault that they know about and there must be a way to fix it, we would definitely prefer to get it repaired.Is this something anyone else has encountered before? 

I ordered in April with a May 6 shipping date. It has been “preparing to ship” since the 6th. Has anyone ordered an amp of late and are you on the same delay? Not a huge deal but I have an all new music room set-up and all that is missing is the amp. 

How can I get a purchase receipt for a product that I bought on the Sonos website?

Hello to all,Hoping someone can help me with this - I have a decent turntable going into stereo fives and then a number of ones throughout my house. All going through my wifi. I run Google points re a mesh system as I have a large house and one router/ point isn’t enough. Also - where I have the turntable and two fives are at the opposite end of the house to where I have my cabled internet. This works fine for normal streaming of tv and internet needs, but something isn’t happening for my Sonos system.My question relates to the Sonos Boost and will it fix my issue. If I buy one I have to hook it up at the opposite side of my house to the turntable and fives because that is where I can plug in an ethernet cable so it has to stretch that far out.Also, can I have multiple Boosts. I have bought a three point pack from Google for my Mesh, can I do something similar with Boost or will I be confusing it all?Thanks in advance everyone - Robin

Greetings’’ Everyone  How many Sonos speakers we can connect  from Sonos App at one time ?Can we connect upto 22 or 32 speaker with different zones speakers like One SL , One Gen , Move or Five , we can do mix an match.  Please suggest. 

Is the Ray delayed? I ordered on 5/30 with a ship date of 6/7. My status still shows “preparing to ship” and it’s 6/15. Anyone else having this issue?

We have enjoyed the sonos amp with two wired sonance speakers out back for years...now we’ve extended our space with some chaise lounges on the far side of the pool, and a small game area in the far corner of the year.  You really need to crank the music up under the covered patio to hear it in all corners of the yard.  I’m thinking either two roams, or two moves, or one of each so that we can hear the music in all corners of the yard.  What’s the best combo?  Or is it something else?  Thanks!

Will Sonos create a surround speaker that includes upward firing drivers to complement the Arc for Dolby Atmos?

Whats going on with the Horrible customer service ??I placed an order the other day for the Ray Speaker and it got delivered to the wrong address.I have called in 6 times to get this fixed and have received the run around. I even sent an email to the CEO and still no response. I just called in today at 9:30 PST and the Sales Department is Closed !!! What has Happened to SONOS and their Wonderful Tech and Sales Support.This is Ridiculous. I cant even begin to tell you how “Frustrating” this is !!!!

Bonjour à tousJe souhaite acheter des enceintes pour la terrasse de ma maison de vacances.J’utilise un système Sonos dans ma résidence principale et j’aimerais utiliser la même marque pour me simplifier la vie.J’ai vu des enceintes outdoor dans la boutique mais je me demande si elles valent l’investissement. Est-ce plus pratique que Roam ou Move ?Ils poussent pour un pack avec un « Amp », est-ce nécessaire d’ajouter cet appareil ?merci beaucoup pour votre aide !GuillaumePS: il y a d’autres threads sur ce sujet mais ils datent d’il y a plusieurs années. Comme tout évolue rapidement j’ouvre une nouvelle conversation.

I live in an apartment that has 2 built in ceiling speakers in the living room that are hard-wired to a sonos connect amp (which is in the closet where the wiring for the ceiling speakers runs to). I also have a 3rd party Denon receiver powering 2 Klipsch tower speakers (both setup in my living room). My Denon receiver is connected to my TV, so the sound output from the tv currently goes through my Klipsch speakers.  My goal is to connect my Denon receiver/Klipsch speakers to the existing sonos system and use the ceiling speakers (which are already connected sonos) as surround sound. From what I’ve read online, it sounds like I may be able to accomplish that by connecting a Sonos Port to my Denon receiver in the living room.  If I buy the Sonos Port and connect it to the receiver in my living room, will I be able to use both my Klipsch speakers + ceiling speakers at the same time? My Denon receiver is connected to my TV via optical cord, so if I connect a Sonos Port to my Denon receive

I am building a new home. I am not looking for a high end theater set up. Attached is my floor plan. I plan to use a soundbar, sub-woofer, and 2 ceiling speakers for TV viewing. Note TV is in the corner. I would use two ceiling speakers which are in marked in red with an amp. It is my understanding the ceiling speakers should be behind the seating area.  Does that seem accurate? My second option would be to add two more speakers (blue) and play only music through the whole room with 4 speakers. The room measures 26’8” x 20’6”. Can I have the blue speakers off for the TV and all 4 on for music. Can I accomplish this with one amp? Thanks. 

Hello everyone, I plan setting up 5.1 with 1 arc, 1amp with 4 passive speakers “2 fronts and 2 backs”, and 1 sub. Is it possible to do this set up?

Hello.  I placed an order June 6 for a Move in white.  The order status still shows preparing to ship with no backorder date.  What is the current expected delivery time?  Thanks.

I pre-ordered the Sonos Ray on June 3rd.  I received the wall mount but the order for the Ray still states it's pending since the June 7 release date.  I contacted Sonos..  the rep said I should have it by July 8 due to the volume of orders.  Is anyone having the same issue?
