Sonos App super slow - Because I have all old devices, or is it likely Network?

Over time the Sonos App on my devices has gotten slower, and slower.  Response time is horrendous.  I figure it’s gotta be from one of two things:All my devices are OLD Play: 1s and a SoundBar.  Perhaps they’re just getting too old for the current capabilities? I have found several threads discussing app performance and Network issues.  I’ve done a bit of superficial digging and I don’t **think** I have any network issues going on.  I’ve got a pretty solid and stable network. Several of my devices are wired rather than using wirelss, I’m using SonosNet still on the rest.   I COULD switch them to using regular wifi, though I’m a bit hesitant because I’ve been using SonosNet successfully since before Wifi was an option.Thoughts on where I should focus my energies?

WM0 or WM1

Bonjour,Si j’ai bien compris lorsque je connecte une enceinte en filaire, un réseau “Sonos” est généré et l’ensemble des enceintes y sont connectées.Une enceinte connecté en filaire apparait en WM0 et de ce que comprend les autres apparaitront aussi en WM0.Hors dans mon système, j’ai régulièrement des enceintes qui sont en WM1 (qui est une connexion Wifi).C’est généralement les enceintes qui sont “instable” (déconnexion de l’appli/wifi). A partir du moment ou une enceinte est en filaire, ne devrait-elles pas toutes se connecter au réseau généré par celle-là?Pourquoi ais-je du WM0 et WM1 dans mon systèmes (13 enceintes + un sub) ?

Sonos app direct control by Plex app not available anymore?

I’m having trouble triyng to play music on my Sonos system through the Plex app, it works fine playing music located on my Plex library using the Sonos app but just won’t work the other way around. When I try to do so I get an error message like this in the picture, both on my sonos app for desktop and on the sonos app for iPhone. I’ve been talking to the Sonos call center for support and they tell me Sonos is no longer allowing Plex app to directly control the Sonos app, but can’t find anything related to this on the internet. Can anybody help? Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

System Setup Lock

This is a basic ask. The owner of an account, signed into their Sonos system, should be able to lock the system down with a pin code, such that no changes can be made to important set up parameters.Currently, anyone with a Sonos app on the Wi-Fi system, can change device names, eg, like room names, and mess with a system. This should not be allowed. This would be a piece of cake for SONOS to implement, and it makes a lot of sense to do so.

How many Sonos Outdoor speakers for my backyard

Hey there! I’ve been doing some and decided on getting Sonos Outdoor speakers + Sonos amps for my backyard because I love Sonos and i’ve read that these speakers w/ Trueplay sound great. What’s been very challenging is trying to figure out how many speakers I need to get based on my backyard space. Here’s what I’m thinking so far: Amp #13 speakers in the BBQ area 3 speakers in the covered patio area. Amp #23 speakers on left side of the pool 3 speakers on right side of pool Does this seem appropriate for the space? Also wondering I’m wondering if it’s best to set these up as left/right channels or mono?

Adding music on Apple macbook to sonos.

I’ve read the post, but don’t understand where the add a folder occurs. Also, Sonos doesn't show as an app for my MacBook. I have an iPad and phone and still don’t find the music library as it has been stated in all the items I’ve read.

Firmware to achieve 5.1 surround with "Move 2" speakers?

Has there been any talk of extending the firmware capabilities to allow for the “Move 2” speakers to be paired and used in a surround sound set up?

Dead Speakers

Our system is 6 years old…and in the past month 3 speakers ( 2 Play 1’s and a Play 3) have completely died.  Anyone else have this kind of issue?  Each have gone out on separate occasions…so no power surge issue.  Not happy this is happening…

Please help me understand how sonos fails so i can mitigate

Hi All,I’ve been fighting with my sonos speakers for about 5years now. I never seem to lose hope and each year I think I figure it out, then a few weeks go by and im back to square one. This year I really thought I had it figured out by creating a dedicated network just for my speakers and then advertising a 2.4Ghz only wireless network for that network which again only my speakers connect to. That way there is no more sonosnet. There is no other interference on the network.  Everything worked great for 16days and then i wake up to: Here is what the speakers look like on my network when this happens(notice the “wifi” column - theyre all dropped off from a router standpoint...but in the app theyre in a state where they are connected to the wifi, but they arent responding? how?..):So I reboot my entire network. All devices go offline. This is very disruptive, but its gotta work right?: ​Nope theyre jacked up still...everything else on my other networks are connected right back up. Sonos

Sonos is forcing people to buy new hardware as they've broken the Connect:Amp and they refuse to fix it

Hi, I'm recreating this thread, as the discussion wasn't finished, but it was locked. I also wanted to make it obvious this is a Sonos issue, not a client environment issue. https://en.community.sonos.com/components-and-architectural-228999/connect-amp-keeps-dropping-out-audio-6885634/index2.html I've been following this for a while because I've been having the same issues, and when I spoke to support they said the connect amp can't cope with modern software and that I should upgrade to the amp, which is clearly unacceptable. This has been confirmed by people in that original thread who have been told the same thing. BillJanzen“FWIW, these issues seem to have occured after the June 2023 software update to S2 version 15.5. Interestingly, there is an alert posted in the release notes of the 15.6 update released July 25, 2023 about adjusting how older Sonos products use their internal memory. See below (copied from https://support.sonos.com/en-ca/article/release-notes-for-sonos-s2):  Aler

to connect sonos speaker with ios apps

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, but nothing works

Add 2nd Sub Mini

Our home theater resides in our Condominium living room. The system includes Beam Gen 2, 2 One Sl surrounds and 1 sun mini.We’ve seen multiple YouTube that recommend having 2 Sub’s and begs the question if the current S2 App can connect a 2nd Sub Mini?We opted away from the much larger Sub Gen 3 given its cost & our shared wall Condominium space.Thank you

Connect Amp keeps dropping out audio

Hi I have 4 Connect Amps that have been working fine for some years but just recently they are dropping the Audio for a few seconds which is very annoying. I have spoken to Sonos Support on a few occasions and done everything they have suggested to fix this which they say is WiFi Interference such as switching channels etc but still have problems. This happens on any music source but I have noticed when the speakers go silent the sound levels are still going up and down on the app as if its playing the audio in other words not muted, not sure if this helps identify the problem. I am getting to the point now where soon these will be removed as they just aren't worth the hassle. I have seen a few threads where people have had the same problem but the only answers I have seen are contact Sonos Support.Has anyone had this problem and got a viable solution??????Some posts suggest an issue with S2 being introduced so does anyone know if this is a problem??

AMP and Sonance VP66TL (pair)

Has anyone had any issues with Sonance VP66 TL (thinline) speakers on AMP running at higher volumes.  Distortion, popping/cracking sounds.  We’ve isolated the speakers (and Sonance provided a new set), wiring and AMP, and all seem to function fine independently, but in combination, the problem persists.Sonance and Sonos both are saying products should work fine together.  I have other rooms running AMP with other sonance speakers (same family, just not thinline) with no issues

Configure Sonos Arc surrounds using In-Ceiling speakers powered by Sonos Connect:Amp Gen 1

Yes I know Arc is not compatible with S1 but I’ll explain why I have what I have. I have a total of 6 Sonos Connect Gen 1's, each powering 2 Sonos In-Ceiling Speakers in 6 separate rooms, including the Living Room. When we moved into this home, all that was already hooked up.   The Sonos Connect Gen 1s are of course only compatible with the S1 app   In my living Room, I have a Sonos Arc as my flat screen TV external sound system. The Arc is only compatible with the S2 app. The Arc is currently connected with a Sonos Sub (Gen 3) as the subwoofer. There are currently no speakers configured as surround sound speakers for the Arc. I bought these when I first moved into the house. I am new to Sonos so I didnt know about the S1 / S2 divergence/incompatibility.  The problem: For my Arc, I would like to be able to configure the Sonos In-Ceiling speakers in the Living Room as the surround sound speakers for the Arc for when I am watching movies on my flat screen TV. However because the In-Ce

Help Needed: Sonos Arc Not Syncing with Orei UHD48-EX230-K HDMI Switcher

Hello everyone,I recently upgraded from an Orei UHDS-202 HDMI switcher to an Orei UHD48-EX230-K, and I'm experiencing issues with syncing my Sonos Arc sound bar with my main LG TV. Previously, the audio setup worked perfectly with the Orei UHDS-202, but now, I can no longer get the Sonos connection to appear on my LG TV. Here’s my current setup:- **Devices Connected**: TV box, Amazon Fire Stick, and PS5, all connected via HDMI.- **Outputs**: Two TVs connected.- **Soundbar**: Sonos Arc, which used to connect through HDMI ARC via the old switcher.With the new Orei UHD48-EX230-K, the sound bar isn’t recognized by my LG TV anymore. I’ve tried checking the HDMI ARC/eARC settings on my TV and ensuring all cables are high-speed and properly connected, but nothing has worked so far.Has anyone faced a similar issue or does anyone have insights on how to resolve this? Is there a specific configuration for the Orei UHD48-EX230-K that supports audio transmission more effectively?Thank you in advan
