Advanced setups

I am having the strangest problem grouping rooms. I have eight Sonos speakers in eight separate rooms. They are a mix of Era 100 and 300 speakers. Four of each.I can group 2 rooms on a single Spotify stream but if I add a third room, the third room doesn’t play. The same as true if I had a fourth fifth sixth seventh or eighth room.If I begin with room A and B and then add room C room A and B play but room C does not. If I change the group to group room A and room C they will play, but if I add B. to that group, it will not.To make it even stranger I can group room A and B on a single stream and then separately group room, C and D on a different stream they all play but separate streams, but I can’t have all four rooms on the same stream.this is true for Sonos Radio, Spotify and Amazon  I can see every speaker in the controller and on the backend I can see every speaker has an IP address and can be pinged.Support has been little help  

The new Sonos app keeps returning to prior speaker group when playing next song or changing volume.   When this occurs the song also restarts. 

C’est incroyable. Au lieu de permettre un tri, même minimum, toutes les radios sont données en vrac, sans aucun classement, sans possibilité de recherche. Qu’il y ait au moins une organisation par exemple géographique, les radios françaises, italiennes, etc. permettrait de s’y retrouver facilement. Comme par ailleurs non seulement on paye l’équipe sonos, mais en plus on se fait polluer le cerveau par les publicités que sonos ajoute, peut-être faut-il envisager de changer d’équipement. Moderator Edit - Translation by Google:It's incredible. Instead of allowing even minimal sorting, all radio stations are given in bulk, without any classification, without the possibility of searching. That there is at least one organization, for example geographical, French, Italian radios, etc. would make it easy to navigate. Since not only do we pay the Sonos team, but we also have our brains polluted by the advertisements that Sonos

When come the new update? The last one was very bad! So mutch is very badly

I think this question has been asked before - probably multiple times - but a search of the subject line didn’t find anything. I did however check to make sure I haven’t asked the question before…Is there anything to be gained by linking two halves of a stereo pair together with a crossover ethernet cable?Ok, I’ve asked it, and it looks stupid now it’s written down, but… the thinking is that one half of a stereo pair almost certainly gets sent the whole stereo signal via wifi - it just throws one half away.And of course the other half of a stereo pair needs the same amount of wifi bandwidth to get the other half of the stereo signal - and it throws the other half away.But if the two are linked together, one can send the data to the other via the wired network, thus halving the wifi bandwidth used.Yeah, I know - sounds unlikely, but I had to ask!

Horrible lagging when trying to skip songs or change providers Spotify to Qobuz etc. Wi-Fi is strong, doesn’t matter if iPhone or pixel phone or even computer, more noticeable since new Sonos app. Am I alone?  Edit:Sonos connect, Sonos 1, Sonos 3, era 100 Moderator note - combined posts

WTF is going on with S1 and S updates? My internet provider gave me a new modem and everything’s *. SONOS isn’t letting me connect? Does anyone know how I can get hooked back up. I have playbar and Sonos 3*Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.*

Go back to earlier app version works fine for me. Hope it will not update automatically though. Uninstall the new shitty version and then download here to install. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sonos-inc/sonos-for-android/sonos-for-android-16-1-release/sonos-16-1-android-apk-download/download/?key=f6a677f300c8d774a2c570ad65c3e0e50c4e6349

Hi.  The github document on How to Configure Your Unifi Network for Sonos  specifically notes that STP/RSTP problems can occur when using Sonos and Unifi “when you operate both wired and wireless Sonos device in your network (even without SonosNet).”  Does this mean if your Sonos is 100% wireless, then you don’t need to use the special STP/RSTP settings discussed in the article and in many threads in this community?I ask because I used to use SonosNet with Boosts, but I recently went to 100% wireless with no Boosts and no SonosNet (on S2). But I do sometimes have issues where the Sonos App on my phone can’t “see” all my speakers, while the Sonos Mac application sees them fine. I had configured my Unifi to use STP, but now that I’m on 100% wireless, I wonder if I can use the default RSTP instead? I’m hoping that might help with my issue, but re

If i want to add the calmradio connection i receive „no internet connection“ try later. I tried via Win App and iphone App. Any idea how to solve this issue. Before the sonos App update it worked fine for several years.

Will the new sonos allow me to shuffle album tracks?

How can I create 2 or more separate user profiles to separate Sonos speakers on the same network?I mean on a large villa using about 20 Sonos units, can I create separate profiles to avoid user to have access to all speakers?

I have non Sonos speakers that I would like to use and control via my Sonos app. Bluetooth. Is this possible?

I have an arc and 2 ERA 300 units which have all connected fine however when I go to Conect the sub it gets stuck at the stage where you hold your device alongside the sub product above the indicator light as in the app. It just keeps saying can’t find the sub and you keep hitting refresh, but no Joy. 

I have 2x Era 300 in one room. There are very annoying issues:Bluetooth playback from the phone 2m away is dropping one channel, restoring the next second Playback from windows media library is only able to play one song in the folder, then I have to manually advance. Playlists are needed, but there is no possibility to add those into any sort of playlist! Playback from windows media library - can’t play FLAC files, error 701.

Hi Here is my setup. In the kitchen I have an Era 300. In the dining room I have an Amp with ceiling speakers. Also in the dining room I have a TV, and I have the TV connected into that same Amp.In reality, the kitchen and dining room are actually the same rooms it’s a long room and we have one half as carpet and one half as hard flooring, so we tend to call them two names.Also downstairs we have the lounge which has a pair of Era 300.Bear with me :)I often listen to music and I have the Amp, Era 300, and the Era 300 pair all in a group, so I can walk around the house listening to the same music. But when I want to watch TV, I watch it whilst cooking dinner. So I’m in the kitchen, watching the TV that’s in the dining room. But I cant’t hear it because the sound only comes out of the Amp. I want it to also come out of the ETA 300 in the kitchen.Yes, I can choose to also include Grouped players, but that means

Hi there! I’ve been having significant issues with my Sonos system for the last few months; these issues have happened in the past but always resolved themselves. Issues such as rooms dropping completely from the UI, rooms not being able to be added to a group, rooms dropping music when grouped, not being able to connect to SiriusXM, etc.I’ve been doing a lot of searching and reading here and on Reddit, and decided to wire as many of my devices as possible and move off SonosNet to my wifi network. Some info about my system:2 Arcs, each paired with an Amp and Sub (2 TV rooms) 2 Ones paired in one room 3 additional Ones in other rooms (screened porch, garage, kids room) 2 additional Amps (patio, gym) 9 Ports 1 Move, 1 Roam Ubiquiti dream machine with many managed switches and 7 backhauled APs, latest protocol. My network is humming, we’ve invested to make it awesome as I work remotely and can say it was not the p

I am well aware the WD100 has been out of support for some time and therefore only works with the firmware of the period.Nonetheless, I would be very interested to add one to my system even if it means downgrading the firmware and/or app. According to the community post below it was still possible in 2018:Has anyone had any success in downgrading the firmware to allow WD100 compatibility and does anyone have links to the required firmware?

I have a sonos system at home and plan to setup a sonos speaker in my office  - both are different wifi networks - how do i set it up in the s2 app ?

I have two amps in wireless mode. I’m trying to redo my network and so wired them to the router/switch and got them to WM0. When I connect to my new network though it can’t find them to control and if I do the “fix” link in the app it says a wired component can not connect to a wireless network. I have to connect to my old wireless network to “see” and control them.  I finally just reset them over to my new wireless network but I was hoping to have them wired and control them from the app no matter what network I was on. Anyone get how wired works and can explain it?

Yesterday, I lost one symphonics speaker inside my  home network. And during to try configuration this speaker, I lost all Sonos  Speakers (7). My phone is an iPhone 13 with the last update. This my configAfter many hours and chat with someone on phone  and she gave me advice to separate the WiFi  frequency off the Internet box, that I did, I were llocked and with no possibility to reinstall the configuration. I should use Android phone and to iinstall the configure. After 3 hours, it's working good a new. But my topic is just to inform the problem with the apps who stay lock with old configure and couldn't install correctly the configuration, because it's search old system and can not arrive to associate speakers. Impossible to erase system and to reinstall a new, even on website. To try to reset on factory, don't change anything. When cut the power of the speakers, the apps search to install it again.After to have the config back, I try a new to reinstall on an ios,

[To avoid any confusion: this is about static IP addresses, not reserved IP addresses!]Is it possible to set/unset static IP addresses within Sonos devices?The reason I ask is that I have just been checking in my router to see what internal IP addresses are currently in use, and I find that one of my Sonos devices out of a total of eleven has an IP address which is not within my DHCP range. It’s actually permanently on an IP address that I have (for many years) had statically assigned to another device.What I would like to do is to stop it from using that IP address, and get it to request an IP address via DHCP - in my assigned DHCP range - like the other ten devices do.Note that this device is one of four in my system that are connected via Ethernet to my network.[As above, this is the distinction between static and reserved IP addresses: To set a reserved IP address, you configur

Looking to purchase a turntable to hardwire to my Sonos 5..looking at angel horn  wishing looks a lot like the PT1 but half the price .  It has a pre amp .Does anyone know if this turntable  (angels horn 3600L (upgraded to bluetooth) will work with Sonos 5 (model S100)  RCA  jack ?   

Hello All,I got Sonos Zoneplayer 5, not sure of the generation number, but the volume selector is on top of the machine. I bought it on an impulse from Ebay, as I was looking for an external speaker to play my ipod. I have an old (big) ipod, 80GB size. Over 10 years old, easily.All I want to do is plug my ipod in with an 1/8 inch, which I did, to listen. Nothing. No sound.So, did I buy a brick? This thing is useless at this point. What are my options for using this?Any help would be appreciated, and thank you …Gregg

I’ve got JRiver Media and have been able to downsample my 24bit librry items to 16 bit but I haven’t found a way to downsample the same files from 96K to 48K   any Ideas?   Yes, I know Sonos will support 24 Bit and I will leave them 24 Bit if I can find a way to change the sample rate.Appreciate any suggestions.thanks
