Adding a Roam to a stereo pair of One SL's

I have a stereo pair of One SL’s that are on the mantle of our electric fireplace in a living area section of kitchen, dining and living room area. The entire space is probably around 400 sq feet. Anyway, in adding a Roam into the mix do I add it to the existing stereo pair? Or do I simply call the Roam by a different room name and link them together? Also, if I added two Roams would I link as two stereo pairs? I want to add the Roam to have a portable speaker for occasional travel and use on our patio.Thanks,Alan

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?

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?

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

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

Would I be able to use an IR repeater or some other product to control the volume on my am in a different room?

I just bought a new Samsung Frame TV and I have it connected to a Sonos Ray soundbar via an optical audio cable. I also have 2 ceiling speakers in the TV room connected to an amp in my basement tithat I am unable to run a HDMI Arc directly from since it’s on the other side of the house. I was able to connect my Samsung TV remote to the Ray soundbar and can control the volume on that. I read that I wouldn’t be able to control the volume of my ceiling speakers connected to my amp with my TV remote since it’s wireless, but I just successfully did the remote control setup in the sonos app and connected it to my amp that runs the ceiling speakers in my TV room and it does in fact control the volume of the speakers. The only issue is, since I guess it controls it with IR, it only changes the volume on the amp when the remote is pointed directly at it, and since my tv is on the other side of the house, it doesn’t control the volume from the TV room.My question is, is there some sort of produc

Setting up two ERA 100s with Sonos ARC and Samsung TV.

Help! Spent several hours today trying to set up my two new ERA 100 speakers with my existing ARC system and Sub Mini, all playing through a big Samsung TV, with Pandora music in the daytime and evening news and a few streaming or network shows in the evening. I play Pandora music using the app on the Samsung, but the two ERA speakers would not respond with that approach--zero sound from the ERAs. The tech support person suggested using the Sonos app to access Pandora. That works, but that’s not how I want to access Pandora. Pandora has worked just fine using the Samsung TV remote until I added the ERA speakers. But it won’t work that way with the ERA speakers. My tech support person seemed as frustrated as I was. After nearly two hours working with her, I could see that we were getting nowhere by doing down the same paths over and over-with the same negative results. I suggested that she get with someone who could solve the problem which she promised to try to do. So I have

Hisense 90L5HD with 3x Era 300 and Sub (Gen 3)

Hello everyone,My 3 ERA 300s and the sub are connected to my Hisense 90L5HD via Bluetooth. It also works in principle. However, the sound output itself is pure horror. Flat and pale sound output. Is it possible to adjust and improve the sound output in the Sonos app or in any other way? Or do I need an additional soundbar for a good sound experience?Kind regards, Opus

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?

Bluetooth connected but no sound - Era 100

I just purchased my Era 100 to connect it to a Samsung Monitor. The speaker connected to my iPhone and iPad perfectly but not with the monitor.The monitor does not have bluetooth so I bought a bluetooth transmitter and it works perfectly with my AirPods and Sony earphones but not with the speaker. The Sonos app indicates that it's connected to the BT transmitter but there is no sound. I also tried to connect the speaker with a 3.5 mm jack and nothing, no sound. do I need to buy a better BT transmitter? I bought a random one from Amazon or do I need the Sonos in-line adapter?

siriusxm not playing on Mac M1 and M3 Computers or iphone 15

I’ve been playing SiriusXM on my Sonos speakers for many years with no problems. Worked great. Now just over the past weeks it is not connecting. I called support and they said engineers working on it but no bulletin or notice. “Unable to play the selected item.” If I try to browse SiriusXM I am told “Unable to browse music.” I’ve logged out of sonos and disconnected sirius multiple times. S2 app version 16 and iphone 15 pro max.
