I currently do not have any sound system with my television - just use the native tv speakers. Use an amazon echo for streaming music from sirius/amazon. I'd like to change our setup up for three reasons: 1) when streaming music to the echo, the quality is pretty bad. The living room is not large,… ## [Talk me into era 300s for surrounds](https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/1w1218g/talk_me_into_era_300s_for_surrounds/) _2026-08-28 · /u/granolaraisin_ I don’t have a hardcore HT setup. Arc and a sub mini in a non HT dedicated room. It’s an open design room so there’s no wall to one side of the screen and I only really get decent surround/height effects on the side with the wall. I want to add some rear surrounds and have a pair of era 100’s that I guess I could repurpose to the tv room. That said I can’t help but think that it would be a good… ## [Does Sonos voice control on Era 100 just suck? How can I make it better?](https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/1w0vs3l/does_sonos_voice_control_on_era_100_just_suck_how/) _2026-08-28 · /u/pointlessmeander_ Just bought an Era 100 and the voice control on it seems so bad. It can't play any of my spotify playlists and just plays random other things that sound like it. I've tried renaming it, I even asked AI what sorts of names a speaker should be able to hear clearly, and the Era is like nope. We like the speaker and want to keep it, but is there any way to make the Sonos voice control better? Or… ## [How to add Sonos Player to lock screen?](https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/1w0vd6q/how_to_add_sonos_player_to_lock_screen/) _2026-08-28 · /u/thenonamenomad_ Does anyone know how to keep the player on your lock screen like how Apple Music and Spotify has it? I didn’t realize the sound quality improved that much on the app and would like to not have to go on the app to skip a song. I have live activity on already but still nothing. submitted by /u/thenonamenomad \[link\] \[comments\] ## [What are your grounded, realistic hopes for new software/ products this September?](https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/1w0ud8e/what_are_your_grounded_realistic_hopes_for_new/) _2026-08-28 · /u/Victor\_Raven\__ I will get it started. New and improved true play mapping. Access to center channel in case true play doesn’t get the level right, then we could just bump it up ourselves a bit for balance with the rest of the system, and for dialog, before enhancement is needed. submitted by /u/Victor\_Raven\_ \[link\] \[comments\] ## [Era 300 successor coming soon?](https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/1w0rdiz/era_300_successor_coming_soon/) _2026-08-28 · /u/Snufri_ I'm really considering upgrading my Era 100 surrounds to Era 300. (Ultra, sub 4 and 2x Era 100). With the current discounts a 300 is even more interesting. However, I'm wondering whether they are on sale because a successor is going to be presented next month? submitted by /u/Snufri \[link\] \[comments\] ## [Help connecting sub mini?](https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/1w0ra6a/help_connecting_sub_mini/) _2026-08-28 · /u/Far-Juice-7378_ Hi all, I’ve been trying to reconnect my sub mini back to my system (ultra, x2 era 100) and after hard resetting and reconnecting the mini, it doesn’t show up at all within the app. I’ve updated, closed, and checked multiple times but nothing seems to work. Anyone know how to fix this? submitted by /u/Far-Juice-7378 \[link\] \[comments\] ## [Expecting a new Sonos Beam](https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/1w0mjxt/expecting_a_new_sonos_beam/) _2026-08-28 · /u/dudiguerreir_ Sonos just send an email quickpeaking the new Sonos Beam imo 👀👀 who’s excited? submitted by /u/dudiguerreir \[link\] \[comments\] ## [Port to stream music from Spotify to amplifier and wired speakers](https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/1w0mj6h/port_to_stream_music_from_spotify_to_amplifier/) _2026-08-28 · /u/mitchoz27_ Hello! Is there a way to stream from Spotify (android) to my Port and then via the Port to an amplifer (with wired speakers) which I've already got attached via the Port's analogue output? I don't see the Port as an option to stream to within Spotify, only my Sonos Ones. Essentially I want my setup to be using the Port to have a turntable playing to sonos speakers and to an amplifier with wired… ## [Save with community-voted codes (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/5zWry3q29BAZ) _2026-08-28 · **Sponsored**_ Search thousands of community-verified coupon codes — 100% free, no account needed. ## [Shuffle playlist on alarm](https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/1w0jqx3/shuffle_playlist_on_alarm/) _2026-08-28 · /u/Fabulous-Bit4775_ I have an alarm to play a playlist in a room at a particular time but would like it shuffled. As far as I can see there isn’t a way to do that. So for the Sonos people that read these things, feature request please. :-) Update: Ignore, apologies, it’s there already.
