Hi Everyone,I have been using YouTube music on my Sonos Move 1 for a very long time. Recently google assistant and YouTube Music stopped working - Say around either later 2025 Dec or Early 2026 Jan. I have had a few issues in the past using YouTube music on Sonos and familiar with the standard fixes like remove accounts and re-authentication google etc,. Som after the remove/add accounts, the Google Assistant works but not YT Music. So this seems to be down to YT Music this time.I use Google Premium family. The Google account I have linked to Sonos is a member account. This account works perfectly on one of the iPhone’s YouTube Music App, so I know YT Music and this account have no issues. This is the same iPhone I used to setup the Sonos App and authenticate YouTube music Services to Sonos.This time around I can’t even play any YT music from the Sonos App. Says “Connection to YouTube was Lost” But YouTube music Apps works on the same device no issues.I found this troubleshooting link

I open the app on Windows desktop. It says:“We need to get Sonos running on the latest software. Choose Check for Updates to get started.”I click Check For Updates. It says:“No update required. Your Sonos system is up to date.”I click Done.But then it goes back to “We need to get Sonos running on the latest software.”I click More Options. I click “Continue using the Sonos App.”It says “Some of your products aren’t registered to your Sonos account. Let’s register them now so you can use them.”I click Register Your Products. I have to sign in, I do.It says “No update required. Your Sonos system is up to date.”I click Done.I’m back at “Some of your products aren’t registered...” Now there isn’t any option to continue. Ok, so it’s stuck in a loop here. I close the app. I open the app again. It takes a minute, but it opens normally. Mind you, the system was playing music the whole time. This is only affecting the app. The kicker? This happens every single time I go to open the app. I can sk

Always when I change volume of tv by my tv remote control it appears text on tv: "the volume of the sound is constant" + warning sign.  It is just annoying 

hi everyone, i just upgraded my tv and unplugged my 2013 playbar. it was working perfectly before, but now that i've plugged it back in, there's no power.the only sign of life is a split-second flash of the three ethernet lights when i plug the cable into the back; after that, it goes completely dead. i’ve already ruled out the outlets and cables by testing them with other devices—the issue is definitely the bar itself.is this a known hardware failure, or is there a trick to bringing it back to life? thanks in advance!

Have seen numerous comments on setting up a record player but need to add a receiver to the mix for signal boost. I have Kenwood KD-3070 turntable with RCA jacks and a Onkyo TX-SV444 receiver with many input/output ports. See pictures. I am guessing I connect the turntable to receiver (RCA) then receiver to ? to connect to my SONOS 100 speakers. Looking for guidance please with clear non-audiophile description. what connects to what description. I would assume that the connection from the new SONOS device would connect to SONOS speakers via WiFi? Thank You very much for input.

Hi guys! I’m currently using 2 Era 100s paired with one another and 1 Play:1.I recently resubscribed to Tidal for its music quality, assuming that it would work seamlessly. To my surprise, I couldn’t seem to find Tidal in the list of music services on the Sonos platform. How to make this work?

I want to stream my husband’s music library (ripped CDs) to our Sonos Ray.  I do not want the PC on all the time.  I don’t want it in the cloud. I tried the USB flash drive but apparently misread my router capabilities.  I would like a good basic NAS that will stream a minimum of 28 GB of music to the Sonos Ray.  It must be turn key.  I have someone who will help me with set up if I run into difficulties, but I do not have the knowledge to build my own.  And I don’t have the patience to learn.  I was looking at the Synology Beestation but am seeing indications that it’s not a “true” NAS and might not be what I need.  Looking at a Linkstation but truly was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a good basic NAS for this purpose.  Many thanks.

I thought all the Apple Music playback issues are resolved since the meltdown. But apparently not. New install of Beam Gen2, when playing back from Apple Music playlist, every 4th song or so it will loose the connection be quiet for 10s and then reconnect and pickup the rest of the song or skip to the next one. Quiet annoying.Beam is connected to very good Enterprise WiFi network, and the TV it’s connected to has no network issues.Is this a latency issue, since I’m not US based? Maybe device trying to use US cloud back-end needlessly? Or something else that isn’t well engineered.Quit disappointed.

I have the latest version of the Sonos 1 Controller app running on my iMac Monterey version 12.7.6 with two Play 5 gen 1 speakers. The app cannot find the speakers although when going through the connection procedure it says “The Sonos app is now connected to your speakers”

I am currently renovating my whole house. I currently have Arc and Sub, i will be adding also x2 Era 300. Also want to add ceiling speakers too.  Will also be adding outside speakers too. Here is what i am planning:  

Hi, sorry if this is a common question. I tried to find my exact issue but couldn't.I’m running a Samsung 4K TV, AppleTV 4k (1st gen), Sonos Beam 1 via arc hdmiMy main goal is to be able to adjust volume on the Beam with one of the remotes when the TV is off.  I’ve tried all options of IR/RF learning both TV and Apple TV remotes. Nothing is working.Currently when watching thru AppleTV the remote adjusts the Beam volume fine. Likewise when watching just the television alone (appleTV off) the Samsung remote adjusts the Beam fine. What I’d like to achieve is one of those remotes controlling the volume of the Beam while the TV is off and I’m just listening to the music, etc.I’d like to not have to open my phone for simple volume adjustments so please don't suggest. I currently use “Hey Sonos” which I find tedious as its idea of lower/higher volume is all over the place. I tend to have to throw multiple commands and volume numbers to get it right. Again, would just like to adjust easily wit

Jeg har to Sonos one højtalere og en Sonos beam, koblet sammen med dem for at skabe surround sound. Dette virkede fint, indtil jeg købte et nyt Samsung fjernsyn, til at erstatte mit gamle Samsung med. Nu når jeg ser TV, så sker det indimellem at lyden bliver skruet 90%ned i ca 10sekunder og så vender den tilbage til normalen igen af sig selv. Hvis jeg piller Sonos beam stikket fra, så sker det ikke. Så hvad kan jeg gøre🤔? 

I recently Bought a used Sonos playbar on Facebook marketplace and am unable to connect to my PC. I bought optical to HDMI converter and the app doesn't seem to recognize it. I checked the cable and tried others ones regarding the optical and HDMI. I also provided the converter link I’m currently using down below. I also want to note that there is no light coming out of the optical when plugged into the play bar. It seems to be normal because I was able to get my hands a on another playbar and it did the same thing. So now I have no idea what the problem could be and would really appreciated some help on this. Also my PC doesn't have optical cable hence I'm using a converter.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DQD1592R?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I have a solid HiFi system for my vinyl and CDs- NAD amp + Magnepans + RHLabs Sub but I am contemplating downsizing to getting a Sonos Port and running these audio sources through my Sonos system (Arc + Sub mini+ 2 Eras 100 surrounds). The audio sound space through the Sonos system (streaming) is so good that it is motivating me to downsize (and my wife would love to lose the gigantic Maggies from our living room). Would the best path be to get a Sonos Port and use the line outs from my NAD receiver to direct sources to the Port? Would I be able to direct a CD or TT source to my Sonos Arc+ Sub Mini+ Eras surrounds system? (I have an external Preamp for my TT). Thanks in advance.

Just unboxed an d the power cord will not stay connected. Seems to just fall out. 

Why is it not possible to see the battery left on the roam 2 on an android device when connected over bluetooth(without using the app or asking vc)? I feel like much cheaper speakers are able to do this, it shouldn’t be a problem.Also, it would be nice to have a battery health page, that shows the maximum available capacity compared to stock.Otherwise pretty satisfied.

We used to see album covers for our locally stored music library. I’ve been waiting for the Sonos app debacles to clear up. But it seems like there are still issues with album art showing up.  Some art/covers are shown, albeit slowly, after letting the app sit on the Music Library/Albums screen for awhile.  But not all.I should add, that in addition to that, on the Albums screen, I’m seeing quite a number of dupes. That is, the same album is listed multiple times.  I tap through and can verify that they are the exact same album just listed many times.Any information about that state of this?  I’ve done the “Scan for New Content” many times. That doesn’t seem to have any effect on either issue.

Hi allthe situation with the volume of Arc Ultra when streaming music is getting a bit ridiculous. At a volume of 20 I can barely hear any music. I also have a Sonos Amp, connected to 2 small speakers (Dali Oberon 1), and at 20 the volume there is quite nice, at 40 they blow up the room I’m in. At 40 the Arc Ultra is just getting started.Of course this is streaming specific -- when playing from a TV source, a volume of 20 on the Arc Ultra is more than adequate for my needs. The difference of volume when streaming to the Ultra vs. playing spotify through the TV (either with my TV app, or with AppleTV) is remarkable.I keep hearing that this is partly due to normalization -- but this doesn’t make sense. If Sonos implemented some logic to lower the volume due to normalization, surely such logic would be applied to the Sonos Amp as well.So, unless the “normalization” logic is specific to Arc Ultra, I think this is not a “feature”, but a bug -- and quite an annoying one at that, given other

After changing the HDMI, restarting connections and other configuration tips, this problem continues to occur

Hi everyone,I can’t seem to catch a break with the Arc Ultra. The first two units I received had the distorted sound issue. I’ve now received my third unit — the distortion is gone, but I think I may have another problem but wanted to check with the community.The left side of the speaker sounds noticeably flatter and less punchy than the right, with a clear difference in bass output. I tested this by playing music through the Sonos app and running my hand across the speaker — the right side pushes out significantly more air, while the left feels much weaker, almost as if most of the bass is coming from the right.I’ve also noticed a slight echo sound when watching videos on YouTube via my Apple TV 4K which is connected to my Samsung TV. Is this normal behaviour or do I need to do something to prevent this from happening? I’ve already changed the output to passthrough on my TV as I’ve read that should be done to let the Arc Ultra handle the sound?I’ve run both standard and advanced Truep

My sonas connect drops after playing for 45 to 60 minutes 

Hi all I have just installed a Beam gen 2. I have set my LG tv to allow Dolby Atmos via eArc and I can see from the app that my Beam has a Dolby Atmos input. When I listen to Dolby Atmos content though I can’t seem to hear much difference to be honest. I have also tried Spatial Audio on Apple Music and again can’t really determine any difference.  I maybe expecting too much and it’s early days but I am wondering if my Beam may be faulty. Has anybody got any experience of this? 

Hello all!I own an Arc Ultra for my small living room. I am looking to make a Home Cinema with 2 x Roam 2. Will I be able to do it? I am thinking since the living room is small, 2 Roam 2 could be more than enough, and I will be able to use them as portable speakers for the terrace. Please, let me know if you think the set up (Arc Ultra+ 2 x Roam 2) is meant to be a home cinema. Thank you so much!
