How many Sonos Outdoor speakers for my backyard

Hey there! I’ve been doing some and decided on getting Sonos Outdoor speakers + Sonos amps for my backyard because I love Sonos and i’ve read that these speakers w/ Trueplay sound great. What’s been very challenging is trying to figure out how many speakers I need to get based on my backyard space. Here’s what I’m thinking so far: Amp #13 speakers in the BBQ area 3 speakers in the covered patio area. Amp #23 speakers on left side of the pool 3 speakers on right side of pool Does this seem appropriate for the space? Also wondering I’m wondering if it’s best to set these up as left/right channels or mono?

DTS support

Would it be possible to support the DTS formats especially DTS:X? I recently replaced my Onkyo amp that had support for all DTS with Sonos equipment and am disappointed to find whilst watching a movie it won’t work with DTS. Seems to downmix to stereo pcm which sounds ok but think it could be sounding much better if in correct format.

Move vs ERA 100s

I bought an ARC and Sub + a Move and just purchased 2 - ERA 100's. I'm wondering if I should have purchased another Move instead of the ERA 100's. Can the Move's be paired with the ARC/Sub vs 2 ERA 100s

Stingray service

The last several days (perhaps even a week) I have gotten no sound when I selected any of my saved Stingray stations. Yesterday I noticed that the Stingray service is no longer even listed among the services offered. I really like their music stations. What happened?

Stingray music not playing on Sonos

When I click on the Stingray Music service, nowadays it just shows some text about Stingray but there's no music, no channels, nothing. Is it just my system? Do I need to reinstall the service?

Move 2 poor experience with turntable

I’ve been a longtime user of a Sonos One that I love. I’ve been getting into vinyl lately, but since the Sonos One doesn’t have a line in, I decided to purchase a Move 2 so that I’d have the line in for vinyl, but also have some portability around the house when I’m streaming music.I guess the Move 2 was not made with turntables in mind, because it does not work well for this purpose. I’m using a Pro-Ject T1 (also purchased from Sonos) and I have the Move 2 set with line-in autoplay turned on. When I start playing a record, it takes the Sonos nearly 30 seconds to notice that something is playing and turn on, thus missing the first 30 seconds of the song. Once the record is playing, it sounds great.Once the A side of the record is done, and I flip the record over, the Sonos seems to detect the silence and turns off, and it takes 30 seconds to notice music is playing again. If I flip the record really quickly, it will usually play for about 10 seconds, and THEN turns off, before noticing

Adjusting the sound spectrum on my Ray.

Can I adjust the sound spectrum on my Ray to eliminate or reduce the low frequency booming sound from the speaker?

does anyone else think sonos connection is so consistently unreliable as to make the product unfit for purpose?

I can't connect and have tried everything. It's because I have a new router from virgin. But my phone effortlessly connects. I have been through the Sonos app process 20 times and it is no surprise that it doesnt connect, because it's always been unreliable. I've gone off music since having Sonos because of the anxiety I have as to whether it will work. It's like an anti Pavlov dog. Is it just me?
