Components and Architectural

When I start playing an InTune station, Sonos starts playing another station for 20 seconds and then automatically switch to the correct station. This happens sinds two months or so, any idea for a solution?

12:15PM, I’m writing this note in hopes that someone benefits. Speakers through house, playing Spotify crickets for tinnitus. Sound will not play consistently, restarts often, doesn’t play on all speakers. Many calls w support, same feedback always…”reboot all systems”. Zero help and the worst part is - you know it has problems. 900+ posts on your site alone for a speaker system while Elon Musk has intelligent cars. Good luck Sonos.

I’m trying to add a second-hand (ebay) Boost to one of my S1 systems.On the first setup attempt, the S1 iOS app indicated that a device reset was required. That’s plausible. I’ve now reset the device, twice, generating the expected set of flashing LED sequences.On several subsequent attempts, the app just doesn’t find the Boost. The Boost is wired to the network, has acquired an IP address, and is pingable from other devices over both the wired and wireless networks. The Boost’s LED is flashing green, as one would expect during setup.Is it possible that if the Boost was previously used on an S2 system (as is likely), there’s a problem in now adding it to an S1 system?

So this happens consistently, I have restarted my phone, updated the SONOS app, turned wifi off/on. Still keeps happening, and there’s not much on error 1000….This is what the process looks like screen for screen: 1: add new device2: checking app version3: Error code - 1000Please help! I have browsed the support pages, but there’s really nothing on this error.

I just want to say thanks to Sonos for sorting me out with a replacement speaker. My play 1 gen. 1 had developed a muffled distorted sound. I reached out for help and after a bit of back and forth, they identified the problem as a well known hardware issue and offered a replacement. Now this speaker was waaaay out of warranty but they replaced it all the same. This type of service is why I have adopted Sonos throughout my house and was the second time they have stepped in to replace out of warranty speakers. So thanks again sonos – you have a customer for life here.

I had a pair of 5’s, a pair of Ones, and a new Beam. Almost immediately after setting up the system, I starting having issues finding the system components. I was connecting to a mesh network via Netgear Orbi satellites which provide great WiFi throughout my small home. None of the speakers were wired.Speakers are all located on the same floor within 40ft of each other. Samsung Note 10 phone with SONOS app. Recently, I added a Boost in hopes of fixing my issues. I reset all of my SONOS speakers to provide a clean start. I added my Boost first. Then each of the 5 speakers one by one. Everything went well and for about 10 minutes I could see all of my speakers. I went back to work in my office and checked again. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to see any of my system components for the last few hours regardless where I am in the house.  I’m ready to put the whole system on Craigslist. The most annoying system I’ve ever dealt with. Please help. 

Hi, I recently updated my router at home. Now i try to reconnect my Sonos speakers but the Ikea Synfonisk bookshelf has a problem.I updated my app to the latest version and an update to my Synfonisk poped up.So i updated my Synfonisk and connected the speaker to the new network but now i cant find it in my system any more. When i try to add the speaker to my system but the app wont find it.I tryed to factory reset it but it didn't help.I tryed to contact the Sonos support but no one was at work during the week. can any one help?

My settings are: My Sonos connect is connected to a device/connecter which again connects to my #1 Yamaha Amplifier, (connected to my loudspeakers) as well as- via an optical cable, to my former #2 Samsung Smart Tv.  TV Sound was played on my loudspeakers. 8 days ago I installed a new Samsung TV The Frame 2021, which ran smoothly. Without having touched any cables,  the TV sound went missing to 1 loudspeaker, later to the 2nd.  Sonos/spotify runs as usual/no problems.  Was on Samsung Helpdesk who couldn’t help. Samsung Tv appears to have a signal for it’s TV loudspeaker and optical.  I conclude: Samsung does not support the connection path to Sonos by optical cable. Tried testing by new optical cable. No result.  How do I get sound back in my great loudspeakers via the Sonos connect? 

Hi there.From some reason, my Sonos 1 pair needed to be reconfigured.I tried that several times, with no resolution.After unplugging all speakers (3 Sonos 1) and my internet router and restart the Sonos app, I noticed that one of my speaker isnt recognized by the app.I tried to add it as a new product and the app cannot see itI did factory reset and that didnt helpRight now, I have a green light on that speaker, but the Sonos App cant find it.Please help… Thank you Ron  

I have connected a hdfury arcana up to my sonos arc surround system and a ps5. Before I had it connected was getting dolby digital plus 5.1 and now i only get dolby digital 5.1. I can now get multichannel pcm 5.1 or 7.1 changing settings on ps5. Whats the best to have it on and can I get dolby digital plus back.My TV remote also no longer controls my ps5 is there someway to fix this.

Hi,IssueMy sound is cutting out on the TV. I have a Playbar and two Play:1 surrounds. SetupThe Playbar is connected to the Sony TV via optical and is hard-wired via Ethernet to a router (via an unmanaged switch). I have experienced the sound issue on both an Amazon Fire TV and Sky Q  I have sent diagnostics - 731055792.Any help would be appreciated     

Woke up today to Sonos not workings… rest of network is fine. Attempted to reset (unplug..) and App can’t find them. Used “Fix It” and when it reaches the screen that asks “We found multiple Sonos Systems, Let’s confirm the one you want to update” and click “Continue” the app does nothing.. sits there.  Deleted app, reinstall… tried on iPad and iPhone.. nothing.  Anyone else? Suggestions? 

My current set up is ISP modem (in bridge mode) to Google Wifi, to network switches.  I have ethernet throughout the house so I have a number of devices wired to the network.  This includes one Sonos Connect.  The Connect seems to kill only the wired network.  I’ve done plenty of rebooting, unplugging, replugging, etc. If I leave the Connect off the wired network, everything seems fine.  If I plug it back in, anything with a wired connection eventually either loses network connection or fails over to WIFI.  WIFI still works fine.I assume this is something to do with STP but I can’t change that setting in Googile or the switches.  Is there anything else I can try? 

I have a problem which happens every few days. The sound becomes ‘broken up’ and jerky - like using a microphone that’s not connected properly, so we get every other word, something like that. If I change to a different tv channel, it’s fine, then go back to the original channel, and that’s fine too. So it’s an easy fix but so annoying!!! The other day I came in the room with the tv on and the sound was just stuck on like an ‘echo’ - sort of ‘pay pay pah pah pah…..’ very rapidly. Like feedback I guess. I turned off/on and it was fine again.why so many issues with a premier product that is not cheap.My Arc is connected to my Samsung Neo QLED TV via a Smart Connect box using the e Arc port.

My toddler put a toy ball in the sub and I can and I can’t get it out. I can not find anyone to repair the sub and sono’s will only let me send it back with a payment of $550. The sub works fine but you can hear the ball rattling around at certain times. It’s just really annoying. Does anyone know how to take this apart or have a good way to get the ball out ? 

Everything worked well till recently (eg yesterday), but as from this morning the Play:5 no longer seems to connect/work over wifi. No change was done on wifi network, wifi coverage is excellent and all other devices appear to have no problem with wifi (including other Sonos products). Resetting the Play:5, restaring the router, assigning a fixed IP address to the Play:5 or selecting another wifi network does not solve the issue. When network cable is unplugged:Play:5 no longer appears as available in the app ('System' page as well 'About My System') Play:5 no longer plays any music (eg radio) when I press the play button Play:5 appears in the Airplay list on my iPhone, but actual Airplay connection appears to fail App function 'Find Missing Products' is unable to retrieve App function 'Manage Networks' brings mixed results, only once out of several attempts I managed to get connected to wifi (router lists IP address) ... but the device did not end up in the 'System' page and after res

I’ve set up my Rega P2 to the pre-amp then into the connect then into the technics Amp in the mini system to power the speakers. Is this sequence correct ? I have really low volume out of all my other Play and Play 1 units.  And have to have the volume on the app set to max to get decent volume out of the speakers without turning the amp to high volume levels and getting speaker hiss.  Line in is set to ‘source level 10’, line out to ‘Variable’, Audio delay to ‘Low’

I have a Sub and two Fives. There is something off with the upper mid treble on the Fives. IMHO and it drives me nuts! The overall sound of the Fives is outstanding. Then an instrument, often a drum sound, will hit that particular frequency and sound very artificial. Anyone else experiencing this?

This issue has clearly been occurring for a while and there’s still no fix for it. When you have Wi-Fi turned on on your phone (iPhone 13) the “Podcasts & Shows” filter is not present in the search section of the Sonos app (which I just updated)  As soon as you turn off the Wifi the feature appears in the search bar of the App ( where of course it’s then of no use bc the app is not connected to Wi-Fi this flaw has been long documented by other users and no fix has come thru… These speakers are VERY expensive and while they are good quality this REALLY feels like something that should have long been fixed by now… 

I recently set up a Sonos system in my living room that consists of an Arc, a Sub (Gen 3), and two Sonos One’s. Yesterday I had to update the firmware of my router as it was having connectivity issues, and the speakers disconnected after the update. I updated the WiFi the system was connected to via the Sonos app, and all the speakers were able to successfully reconnect except for one of the Sonos One’s. I reset the Sonos one by holding the button on the back down until it flashed green, and the set it up through the Sonos one app. When it asked what room to add it to, I chose the “Living Room” which the other 3 products are a part of. However, for some reason it added to its own new Living Room, called “Living Room 2”. How do I get this Sonos One speaker added to the existing Living Room with the other 3 speakers?

My Playbar seems to have blown a speaker as I hear a muffled sound for the bass.  It used to be much more crisp and powerful.    I saw another post that asked to send in diagnostic info to determine what is wrong.  What can be done about this and/or can the damaged part be replaced?

I would say the vast majority of average people want to disable Wi-Fi on their Sonos because they want their home hardwired and are not comfortable with Wi-Fi.In my case, I have a dog with a glioma brain tumor which even cancer.org says arises from radiation exposure. He spent most of his life with the Wi-Fi router near his bed  - so I’m attempting to hardwire my home now that he’s back home from treatment.I was very upset to see, after paying an AV expert $300 to come in and fully hardwire all my Sonos components and set up a router switch, that you guys don’t actually turn off Wi-Fi even though it explicitly says I’ve done so in the app.Maybe it won’t “work” with Wi-Fi anymore, but it sure as heck hasn’t turned off the ARC sound bar wifi radiation “atomic bomb” which, others have reported many times, is emitting levels of radiation far beyond acceptable limitations for human health as per guidelines. If you don’t agree with me or believe me about this, please look it up.(Just to head

Bought the Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable to Five package from Sonos and am experience a loud buzz/static when trying to play line in from the record player. The Sonos Five sounds fine when playing through Spotify.  I’ve spent a bunch of time reading through related topics but nothing i’ve seen seems to help. Switch on Pro-Ject T1 SB is set to line out  Source name is set to Turntable Source level is set to level 10 Played around with compressed/uncompressed audio I have tried the RCA cable with headphone jack adaptor that came with the system and a separate RCA to 3.5 aux cable Still same issue.  I have audio but there is a loud static noise that makes its unlistenable.  Has anyone else experienced anything like this and do you have any advice?  I had a chat with a Spotify rep and he said i should call Sumiko (maker of pro-ject Turntable).   Appreciate any help.  

I own two (2) Ikea symfonisk bookshelf speakers and i just bought one (1) Ikea symfonisk lamp gen 2.I realised that the lamp lacks by far in terms of bass compared to the bookshelf speakers.Is that normal ? I raised the bass at +8 and there is only a little change there.Is that normal or my speaker has a bass problem ?? 

This is more of a nuisance than anything else so I did not formulate it as a question. Periodically, the Sonos app on the iPhone, iPad or PC will be unable to find the Sonos system or will only find some of the devices in it. It is sometimes the case that the iPhone for example finds everything, the iPad finds some devices and the PC finds still a different combination of devices. The system contains a Connect, two Play 1s and a Move. Sonosnet is not in use. Sonosnet did not work well in the environment and appears to suffer from interference from my 4 node Linksys Velop mesh Wi-Fi system. The mesh makes use of the overlapping 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi channels thus stepping on Sonsnet when it tries to use 1, 6 or 11. The Connect is wired via Ethernet and its wireless radio is disabled. Both Play 1s are on Wi-Fi, as is the Move.From the layer 2 perspective, the MAC address table of every switch in the network contains the MAC addresses of every Sonos device and of all devices running the Sonos app
