Sonos S2 is not only the name of a new app, that will launch in June, it's also a new OS, for your non-legacy Sonos speakers. The new app looks pretty slick and there is going to be some sweet new software features for upgraders, such as preset groupings that you can use for speakers at certain times of day, or for events - think 'Good morning', 'Party' and so on.

But the biggest deal is perhaps that Sonos is promising that S2 will "enable higher resolution audio technologies for music and home theater".

The first signs of this are the Dolby Atmos features of the new Sonos Arc. Sonos S1, which will launch alongside the new S2 experience, is basically Sonos as it is now. When S2 goes live, you'll see a pop-up asking you if you want to upgrade your system. If you choose not to, you'll be able to carry on using your Sonos speakers as you do today. As we said in the intro, Sonos is getting better on the smart home front — its Works with Sonos program has partners like Wink, Lutron, Logitech and Yonomi on board, making things like automation recipes possible.

Alexa is also friendly with Sonos — Amazon's assistant lives on the Sonos One and Beam alongside the Google Assistant , but also via the Sonos Skill, so any Echo can control your existing Sonos speakers. Check out our guide to Sonos and Alexa to find out exactly what you can and can't do — but remember, you'll need a Sonos One with Alexa on board to actually control things in your smart home.

You can also now associate Amazon Echo devices with Sonos speakers using the Alexa app; creating groups where the Sonos speakers are the default playback for a command heard. Sonos has also fixed the problem of its speakers lowering the volume every time you talk to Alexa on your Echo, but it's a little tricky — check out our guide on how to fix it.

Google Assistant integration has also now arrived check out how to enable it right here and works much the same as the above, which includes using any Google Assistant speaker to control older Sonos models. However, while Google Assistant and Alexa are both available inside the Sonos One and Beam, they can't cohabit — so you'll have to choose which one you want. Don't worry, you can swap them at any time, and you can even have different assistants running on different Sonos speakers in the house.

Great news — Apple's AirPlay 2 plays nicely with your Sonos system. Sort of. Some of it at least. The rest of the bunch are not — but you can include them by pre-grouping them with one of the speakers listed above in advance. That's because the new Sonos speakers will act as "hubs" while the old ones will just stream the music or audio they need to.

We've spoken about adding a Port, Amp, Connect or Connect:AMP to the mix in order to bring your non-connected audio equipment into your Sonos groups, and one of the most common requests is for people to stream their vinyl record collections over their Sonos speakers. The good news is that it's not only possible but also easy to set up. You can either use a Port or Amp as stated — using the line-in port — or just go straight into a Five's line-in port.

Simply group up speakers to whatever Sonos device your record player is connected to, click play on the Line-in source and you're away. IFTTT compatibility lets Sonos users integrate their speakers into the wider smart home in a number of interesting ways. For example, you could add a recipe that starts Sonos playing your favourite song when your smart lock registers you arriving home, or a recipe that stops all music playing when your Nest Protect alarm detects smoke.

The integration is in beta right now, and Sonos says it will be adding more functionality as the beta develops. We use cookie files to improve site functionality and personalisation.

Can Move stereo pair or group while in Bluetooth? Move will only stereo pair or group with your Sonos system when connected to WiFi. Can I use two Moves as home theater surrounds? Does Move pair with Sub? Because Move is designed to move around your home, pairing with Sub would result in mid and high frequencies in one room and bass in another for imbalanced sound and an inferior listening experience. Bought a new Sonos speaker and want to add it to your existing system?

This is easy. If your Wi-Fi network isn't the strongest and has a couple of weak spots, you may have bought yourself a BOOST to help get a signal in a particular room. Sonos offers a feature called Trueplay that will tune your speakers according to their surroundings, even if that's in a cupboard.

Make sure you tune all the speakers in your system and retune them if you move them. It's also worth noting this feature will only work on iOS devices so you'll need to grab yourself an iOS device to perform Trueplay. If you have the Sonos Move - you don't need to do anything as it has Automatic Trueplay tuning. All about that bass, that bass, no treble? No problem, you can adjust the EQ settings for each Sonos speaker you have set up.

Changed your office to a bedroom, or moved your Sonos One into the bathroom? That's fine as changing room names in Sonos is simple. If you want to make sure your Sonos speakers don't go above a certain volume, you can do this in the app nice and easily. Investing in Sonos doesn't mean your existing Hi-Fi system has to become redundant.

The Sonos Port has analogue, optical and coaxial digital audio outputs, as well as a line-in, allowing you to connect any device you want, from a turntable to a DAC. There is also the Sonos Amp available in the Sonos range, providing a streaming upgrade for your favourite stand-alone speakers. You'll need your Sonos Account information if you want to control your Sonos system with your voice more on that further down. It's also useful to know where to find it in case you ever need it.

Running the latest software means you'll get the best experience from your Sonos speakers so it's a good idea to set your system up to automatically check for updates. You can also choose when you want the update to take place.
