Sonos One Gen2 Bass reduction with increased volume - loudness feature.

I have had a Sonos one for around two weeks.  At 25% volume I can hear beautiful low bass tones vibrating my hardwood floors.  When I increase the volume to 50%, the bass all but disappears into the music.  I have read in another post that this is the result of the loudness feature enhancing bass at low volume level.  When I toggle off the loudness feature it reduces the overall richness of the sound and still loses bass with increased volume.  If this is an automatic protection feature to keep the bass from distorting, I would prefer control that myself.  Would it be possible to provide a software solution that would allow this speaker to deliver consistent tones at all reasonable volume levels.   Thanks in advance!

Music won't start through Sonos app until pressing play on speaker

Hello,When I try to start music playing through the Sonos app nothing happens until I physically press play on the speaker.  This occurs on all my speakers (playbar, beam, play1).   Once pressing play it seems to work fine while I am using it.  It seems to have issues in between uses.  I do have Alexa, ring doorbell, etc connected up and it’s possible this occurs after a notification.  Any idea why the speakers seem to go offline in between uses of the Sonos app like this?Thank you.

I bought a Sonos One in Japan. Can I use it in the UK just by replacing the cable?

I’ve been using my Sonos One in Japan for the last year. If I move to the UK, would it be possible to use the device there if I replace the cable with the UK Angled Power Cable? Or are there differences with voltage/wiring internally in the device? Thank you.

Incompatible on S1 - help

I have an older PLAY5 plus two PLAY 1s and a BEAM and just  took delivery  of a new PLAY5  to be compatible with S2   I thought I could play all the  new compatible stuff with S2 but then switch back to S1 to include my new PLAY5 . S1 now says the Play 1s and the Beam is incompatible and can only use the old PLAY5 as a stand alone. Is this right as it is now what I previously read?

The Sonos Move needs to have a USB type C charging base option for purchase?

Along with or Instead of the current charging base option that is all one connected piece. The Sonos Move should have an extra option for purchase that receives power via USB type C and an accompanying 45 watt USB-C PD charging block also preferably detachable form the cord). Type C to Type C cord preferably for future proofing.This would help stream line the product as it can be charged via the USB type C when being transported or use on the go. This was almost a deal breaker for me when trying to decide between the Sonos Move and the Bose Portable Home Speaker. As the Bose PHS has a type C charging base and can easily be charged with an ordinary android or apple type c charger

Add Play:1 as left channel only

I have a long room in which I have two Play:1s set up as a stereo pair.  I’d like to put another Play 1 in the room so that there is a L-R-L setup, with the R in the middle of the room.  That way I have stereo sound on the left side of the room, and stereo sound on the right as well (albeit reversed).   Is there a way to add a Play:1 as a left-only speaker?  Whenever I set it up, it is only available as mono.

Other speakers on Sonos dropping when using Airplay2

So I have a question - I’m connecting my iPhone to wired pair of One SL’s via Airplay 2 using an IPhone.  I have several Patreon links as Podcasts that I can’t determine how to play any other way.  So this will play correctly on the room I connect to directly but other speakers as connected will often drop out.  So the behavior is that it connects correctly and other speakers/rooms added will often fail.  I assumed that Sonos would connect to Airplay 2 and then distribute on Sonos.  Is this not the case?

Symfonisk Lamps

Purchased the Ikea Symfonisk lamps as I wanted mood lighting in the living room. I replaced my ‘Ones’ with these and am delighted that there is no drop in sound quality. Easy to set up and are working perfectly well as the ‘rears’ in my Arc& Sub set-up. The look of the Synfonisk is a matter of personal taste, they are physically larger than I would prefer but that is my own preference. Very happy with them 👍

Sonos Beam not discoverable on AirPlay

Hi,  I’m currently experiencing a problem whereby my Sonos beam is not discoverable on airplay (bear in mind that at some point it was) is very frustrating at the least that you pay so much money to get a subpar experience. Definitely would not recommend.

Sonos Connect, Turtable and Sonos One?

Hi. I have a playbase and 2x Sonos Ones (surrounds) connected to my TV and I am very happy. I am keen on exploring vinyl and I am looking at a Lenco L-85 which is quite cheap at £115 which also contains a pre amp. What I am wondering is can I use my Sonos Ones as a stereo pair using a Sonos connect without disconnecting from my tv setup.

Sonos Move Volume

I own multiple Sonos products and recently purchased the Move. Comparing the Move to the One SL's, the volume output of the Move doesn't seem to meet or exceed the volume of the One's. And before it's mentioned I don't have the volume limited on the S2 App (it's at 100%). Is this normal? Thanks in advance for any help.
