New Sonos App User Friendlyness

I don’t want to repeat what other users already posted about missing functions (playlist,…..). Just want to add one function I am missing when you play music is the mute all button. Secondly I was hoping that in the settings for each room the “Sound” settings would be moved on top since it is more likely to change these settings more often. How often do you add or remove a speaker or rename the room? Probably never. I suggested this long time ago but Sonos is ignoring this request.It would be nice to have the quick settings like the equalizer back. I was hoping that with the new version other settings would be added when the system has it available (e.g. surround). With the new app it is very cumbersome to get there. The room list is confusing too. Especially when music groups are used and when I want to assign a different station to one of the rooms in the groups. New app seems to be very slow sometimes too compared to the old one. The volume sliders are sometimes lacking, and moving

favourite stations and myTuner

Hi, Where in the new app do I find the favourite radio stations? I used this extensively in the old. And myTuner does not work anymore. The stations provided cannot be played, I get an error. I have a device with the old app and everything still works fine.

Apple Music Lossless not working properly

I have been waiting for this feature for a long time, and now that it's finally here, it feels underwhelming. It only works about half of the time, other times I need to scrub the song to get it to start lossless, and sometimes the music just cuts off and playing the next song does nothing, it only plays silence. I have to choose a different album or playlist to get it to play music again.Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello! every time I open the new app it states ‘turn on Bluetooth to allow ‘sonos’ to connect to accessories’ is there a way of turning this off? I don’t want Bluetooth connected on my phone all day and this message appears every time.

Hello,I am asking since the release and I am not getting a reply. With the new software update “In house”  local music services like Airsonic/Subsonic or Bonob do not work anymore.Can I get a reply from a Sonos dev regarding these questions :Will it be supported again ? https://github.com/simojenki/bonob/issues/174 Will the search function work on these services ? https://github.com/simojenki/bonob/issues/163 Will you give the possibility to add a custom image on the service instead of a dotted square ? https://github.com/simojenki/bonob/issues/174

Sonos app for android v80

I am sorry if this has been raised elsewhere, but prior to the release of version 80 of the Sonos app I was very pleased and happy with my system as it worked very reliably and was a welcome upgrade to my previous Libra tone.However, since the release of version 80 of this app many features have disappeared but most importantly, my Sonos move 2 is often apparently offline even when it is continuing to play streamed music, and when trying many functions I often get the message an error something went wrong, but when trying a few seconds later the error goes away. An excellent system has been turned into an absolute waste of time money and space!All of my absent my systems are up to date and my internet connection is provided by Virgin Media and my whole system is managed and controlled by a comprehensive and fully managed Ubiquiti UniFi.

Volume control lag, strange behaviour of room selection, and many other issues

Since I updated the SONOS app to the new version I started having the following problems with my system (consisting of two SONOS FIVE, two SONOS ONE, a SUB, a PLAYBASE, a PORT and a SONOS ONE SL):- Any attempt to play music goes through automatic room selection. Always the same!. The only option is to turn on the music in this room and then "move" it to the desired room.- The volume control has a delay of several seconds. Very annoying - All but one of the speakers (hardwired) are on SONOS NET but in the system settings they appear to be unconnected to wireless.I guess I will adapt to the new interface although it’s less intuitive than the old one.Has anybody in this community encountered the same issues?Can one downgrade to the previous version?

where to find prior versions of the iOS controller?

Where do I get the old IOS version of the controller? The current version has way too many features and functions that are still broken. I would rather use the old version until the new app is out of development.

24’x36’ Garage Gym

Afternoon everyone, I’m building a 24’x36’ garage gym and want to build a surround sound system that will rattle your bones when lifting. I powerlift and want something that melts your face when you’re going for a personal record on deadlifts or heavy squats! I know very little about what setup would be the best to go with and was hoping for some guidance and recommendations on what you think would be the best for that. I appreciate any feedback.

Sonos App - Update Today a bit Better But Still Issues With Missing Graphics.

I posted issues about the Android app and the non-performance of the web app in the post linked below   , unfortunately with no progress yet. Today I just updated the new release, it opens a little quicker now but fails to show many graphics and artwork. Even if you leave it, the images never arrive. Here’s some screen shots showing the issue…. It also says “unable to load content” under Amazon Music….

another worthless and intrusive upgrade

went outside to listen to some music on a warm spring day. opened the S2 app and discovered it had been “upgraded”. and it demanded I “sign in” before allowing me to access my own property. After several minutes of trying to work around the thing I finally relented and went down to the basement to look up my Sonos credentials. which the app decided were invalid. This is not the first time I have suffered through one of Sonos’ completely unnecessary and unavoidable updates. So I gots to ask, why would anybody spend more for this intrusive crap than any one of the less expensive systems available?

Using Subwoofer Output From Rear Surround Sonos Amp Should Be An Option

I have a client who has in-wall subs that are connected to an amp in the rack. When using an Arc or Beam for front stage, it would sure be nice to be able to use the sub output from a Sonos Amp functioning as the rear surround amp. I find it hard to believe this isn’t possible to fix via a firmware update. At the very least, there should be a way to use a Port as a dedicated sub pre-amp. Also, it would be nice to be able to use a Sonos Amp to run front height or width Atmos speakers in addition to an Arc. Again, this seems to be something these devices are already physically/technologically capable of, but just need to be updated.

Using a speaker switch with Sonos Amp

I have just created a music room to enable me to listen to Sonos - via Sonoa Amp or a Cyrus system to play CD’s to the same speakers, connected to a speaker switch. After connecting up with the switch connected to Sonos I can start to play music but as soon a I increase the volume the sound stops and the Amp shows a flashing red light.I have now seen some posts around this subject and looking for advice - I just bought a relatively cheap (non powered) speak switch on Amazon.Any advice greatefully received

Lately I can’t get customer service on the phone I’ve called three separate day and have waited from 45 minutes to a nearly an hour and 30 minutes and they still doesn’t answer. I’ve used my Pandora Plus with no advertising account on my Sonos for years but lately it’s playing ads and it’s not Pandora

Apple Music Lossless on the new app

Not a fan of the new app, but I listened to a playlist on Apple Music this morning. And a saw a Lossless logo on one of the songs. It came and went and hasn’t showed up for other songs, but thought it was interesting.  Is lossless playback coming?  Was it already here and I missed it?

Mac Controller - Music Library vanished now (14 May 2024)

Not going to re-hash the omni-shambles the recent app updates has been but we’ve been re-assured that we can keep searching Music Library on desktop controller. Well yesterday I could search my NAS stored Music Library and today Music Library as a source has disappeared. I am seeing an update Now option. Really Sonos? Why would I do that? Music Library disappearing from Desktop controller has been a long established bug but always has re-appeared if I close and re-open program on Mac. Not now. What else will break if I update controller on Mac? Also Mac updates haven’t worked for over a year meaning had to update manually by downloading updater.

Home set up and port questions

I'm looking to set up my home with Sonos. The living/dining space is about 450sqft. I'm thinking about starting with an Immersive Beam Set (Beam, Sub Mini, 2x 100s). I have a record player in this space that I use regularly, and an old Play:5 as the speaker. I was thinking about a Play:5 to Five upgrade, but I'm worried the Five would be overkill in a <500sqft space where there's also a Beam and Sub. Could the immersive set get me sound as rich as the Five in this space?My office is 150sqft and serviced by Vanatoo T0 desk speakers that I'd like to integrate. They are connected to the PC via USB. I need to make sure that I can go between sound from the PC to the speakers with no lag (for audio/video editing) while also being able to go through Sonos for whole home audio when needed. I'm a little confused on the Port's functionality but I'm wondering if it could be a solution here. If not, how else could I selectively integrate PC audio to the Sonos system?TIA

When will "Line-In" return to the new app?

Simple question as a dealer/installer/user:  When will the ability to select and control “Line-In” return?  On the “gold” app, it was part of the “Browse” screen at the bottom of the list of services.  IT IS NOW GONE.  One may presume it should have been in the “Your System” area, but who knows?  Whereas I have reviewed many complaints and issues with the deprecation of features in the new app, the inability to control Line-In is not only a devastating loss, but a liability as many users have purchased the products specifically for their ability to support a Line-In.  I am referring to the “Keith N” response of two days ago and the bullet list of the five features/issues that there is a supposed date for them to return.  See image below and there is NO LINE-IN:
