Will a SYMFONISK work?

there are also plenty of ikea hacks available for it - /r/ikeahacks

i think the main issue is they are like rocking horse poop

I love our symfonisk lamp. The only issue I seem to have is that roon refuses to see it unless I do something to the speaker with the sonos app first. It’s like it drops off the network (except it doesn’t as airplay is still there and I can see it on my networks arp table).

I kept looking for some kind of sleep setting but can’t see anything obvious. Anyone else had issues with sonos dropping off the roon endpoint list?

No, i still see it in Roon, but it refuses to play anything. And if i start the Sonos app it annoys me wih the"i cant find the Sonos" and goes into the neverending loop of attaching this piece of crap to the WLAN.
(Which inevitably fail…)

Sounds to me like maybe a network issue. Perhaps try adjusting channel settings to see if you get a more stable connection. I have zero connectivity issues with the sonos itself, just with roon being a tad weird.

No, i don’t think so. I have one or two other devices on 2.4Ghz that is rock solid.
I actually think the WLAN module has gone south on this one. I have another in box, will try that one instead.

@Mikael_Ollars Yep I’m inclined to think the product is faulty. I don’t have a lamp but certainly the Symfonisk units have been rock solid, I can hit “play” in Roon after not having used them for a weekend and they start playing instantly.

Yep. The Symfonisk gear (and some Sonos gear) even has custom endpoint icons.

My symfonisk won’t play on roon bye Sonos streaming.

It will work when Roon fixes it soon.
Sonos changed how Sonos work’s and broke Roon streaming for Sonos customers (not Roon)
Roon will fix it even though they did not break it.

It is not the first time this has happened and I have complained loudly myself in the past, but Roon got on this one quickly and are actively working on a fix and have communicated such

What did they change does affect all device as my ARC works fine.

They changed some Networking stuff again, all my devices are fine.
But after the last debacle I rebuilt my network twice and all my Sonos are now using SonosNet using a Boost. But all this started the day that 15.2 was released.

Last time I had a major issue Sonos and Roon released updates on the same day, and that took months to fix. I think this time it will be fixed withing a few weeks

Your optomisitc with the current support backlog.

Hehe… This was 2019… Proof of concept setup. I did have the wall mounts, but never got around to eh… mounting them.

I’ve moved on a bit since then… to a Sonos Move. :slight_smile:

This one effects too many people.
It took them about 9 months to find the problem I discovered.
They found this and were able to reproduce it in a few days so I am hopeful

Sound gets even better with a 1000$ power cable :smile:

They’re surprisingly fine, from what I remember. I’d prefer a Symfonisk pair to a single Move for general listening. But I lug my Move around between home office (rarely used these days), bedroom and holiday homes – which would get old soon with the Symfonisk. :slight_smile:

I have several Symfonisk speakers set up with Roon for my smaller rooms - works fine. But I use Airplay on them. No problem

work fine as an endpoint.
