New 'sonos' member here, having watched quite a few videos here on YouTube, I must say you're the only person to mention you need an IOS device to set up trueplay! I spent too much time thinking I had a dodgy speaker! I only had to grab one of my kids iPads to set up trueplay, well worth it!🎉

To avoid consufusion for some people, to make sure it's flashing green bress down the button above the cable for a few seconds and it'll alternate red and white and eventually it'll be green.

This video makes it look so easy. I just bought this thing, and the S2 app can't seem to recognize it. Instead, it keeps trying to connect to my old Play 5, which isn't even plugged in. I can't even access the system or settings portions of the app for some reason (they are greyed out), so I can see if it's connecting to my wifi. And when I try to login to my sonos account, it tells me that the device isn't connected to the internet. Everything else in the house is connected without problem. This is all very frustrating. I generally expect products to become more refined and user friendly over time, but this sonos speaker is more difficult to use than the one I bought 9 years ago. I happily would have just bought a simpler blue tooth speaker if I'd had any idea what I was in for. I don't appreciate having to take time out of my day to call their support hotline. Has anyone else encountered these problems, and how did they solve them.

The most complicated speaker i have ever bought.. stay far away from sonos

[Reflection_Wave]

I bought this today not knowing that this device not friendly Bluetooth. The sound quality is good, now I have to buy sonos sound bar to make it work on TV so I can listen YouTube music. If you are Bluetooth friendly user don't think about sonos one, you will end up with disappointment.

No green light, just flashing white light only ?

Great video but my speakers simply do not connect...they'll be going back to the shop tomorrow...

I love how he says it finds your speaker automatically. I have moved house and changed network provider twce. EVERY time I do this, my Sonos One just works, my SL and Roam are a right nightmare and I spend ages trying to get them to connect. Usually give up and try a bit later in the week, then for some weird reason, they just connect. Basically, very rubbish software oif you use an Android phone and that is with the updated and apparently Android friendly S2 app. I would get rid of all but the One but they are so expensive that I just spend ages setting them up and then one day, they just lose the network again. :( Hate these things with a vengeance, one day I will replace them with something cheaper that just works. Sound is great though!

Can I play music from my phone and not a streaming app on my Sonos speakers?

[sytesmedia]

Can I use a cordless microphone to sync with the sonos, if so how? Thnx

[marjoriecohn]

So do you need to have streaming music services to use Sonos or can I just play YouTube music videos from my thanks.

Just moved and changed WiFi. Two hours later still here trying to set up :(

I am trying to connect my speaker to my Xbox series x to use as a desk speaker.
Does anyone know if this is possible and how to do it?

[nazaarshadir]

For my PC, where can I get the sonos app?

[BrutallyHnest_]

I can't get mind to connect to the wifi? It is always wired for some reason anyone can help?

[michelguerrerostudios]

sonos one a100 like pc speaker it's possible??

[Gladers.]

Thx! But do everyone need to be logged into the app in order to use the speakers? I mean other deviced in my network, can they cast whatever they want to the Sonor Speaker, without using the Sonos App? Like how the Chromecast work?

[TheVocalguardian]

Same problem no auto connection, disappointing

[TJDawgs]

Thank you…easy and directly to the point.
