Hellou! I just bought Beam Gen2 and One SL, I have old Ikea symfonisk speaker. I love the sound of them but I cant pair them use surround voice.Two compatible Sonos speakers are required to add a surround speaker. Make sure the products are turned on and connected to a WiFi network.I have tried reboot all speakers, installed them many time, rebootted router and used ethernet cable to Beam. Nothing has helped,so far.My router is ZTE MC801A.Here is diagnostic number: 74666999.Forgive me for my bad English :)Greetings from cold Finland!-Henri 

I'm having issues with choppy TV audio, it drops out for a split second every few seconds. Sometimes it's the playbar dropping, sometimes the One SL surrounds.  Playbar is wired and surrounds and sub are wireless. Diagnostic ID is 485431841. I've tried removing the speakers and re-adding, rebooting router etc, but it's not helped. Generally happens with Netflix, but also happens with Amazon, Apple TV etc. TV is LG C9 if that matters.

Can someone please confirm what Roku models actually support Atmos, including support for the commonly used services as well? (Netflix, HBO Max, etc.)  Please respond based on your own personal experience. I’ve already reviewed Roku’s website and literature and it’s not clearly obvious. I’m trying to decide if I need to change streaming platforms as I have an Arc arriving soon and I’ll be picking up an Arcana device as my TV doesn’t support earc or DD+. (2015 Sony) Thank you. 

Hi.  My Sonos app started acting wonky yesterday and continues today.  I selected a music channel from my favs using Pandora and even though the music plays the correct station the information screen is "stuck" displaying the wrong music.   I tried switching the channel using Amazon music but same result...still showing different music.  Ideas?  Uninstall and reinstall?   Thanks.

Hi everyone, Got a Asus RT-AX82U router and after upgrading firmware to Version 3.0.0.4.386.45934, my Sonos stopped working and there was no chance to re-connect the Sonos and or the speakers.the only solution is to downgrade the firmware back to Version 3.0.0.4.386.45898.The system re-connected and my Sonos works excellent again.Please check Asus website and download downgrade/router rescue app from Asus to be able to downgrade.Goodluck.

Ever since I installed and upgraded my system to S2, my NAS has been spinning non-stop, taking all ressources with it. When I’m able to see what’s connected, I see dozens of SMB connections with the user I setup for my Sonos system.I am unable to pinpoint what is going on, and the S2 app doesn’t tell me either.Only after rebooting the NAS (which takes a long time, since it’s really busy), then removing my Shared drive config in Sonos does the heavy spinning stops. When I configure the shared drive again, it takes a while, then the spinning restarts. My NAS is a Synology DS218i 

Hello - I am having an issue with my Sonos amp where autoplay doesn’t kick in with my turntable. The autoplay of hdmi is working wonderfully, however, it’s going the other way to line in that is having trouble. I viewed this thread and understand that hdmi will always win:    Here is my setup:-an spdif switch plugged in to the the hdmi of the amp using the Sonos spdif to hdmi dongle. The spdif switch has an on/off switch. -phono preamp with on/off switch.  Steps to recreate:-turn off spdif switch. -turn on phono preamp -start record.  in the use case above the autoplay does not start. I am forced to go into my Sonos amp and through a series of clicks start the line in.  The only thing I can think of is that even when off the spdif switch is still sending some sort of a signal.  Would love to get some input on this perplexing issue.  thanks in advance.  

I have a system with 6 Sonos Ones operating around my house, running over a Netgear Orbi mesh network. Recently one of the speakers stopped working, and dropped off the network completely. Both lights on the top of the missing speaker are lit white indicating that it is on the network but it doesn’t show up in the sonos app or on the Orbi app as connected. I suspected an issue with the mesh network and worked through all of those issues to no avail. I have searched through all of the forum postings and not found a solution that works to bring it back. At this point I suspect a hardware problem. Diagnostic #: 1837407629 

I have the following situation/problem: My SONOS setup: I have a few SONOS devices (4 IKEA Symfonisk Bookshelf speaker, one Five, one One SL and one Roam). My problems are with the devices that can connect to the 5GHz WiFi frequency. My WiFi setup: I have a big house, in order to have WiFi everywhere I use a Netgear Nighthawk MR60 mesh setup with one router and two satellites. One “feature” of this system is that the 2.4Ghz and the 5Ghz frequencies have the same SSID, which can’t be changed. Also, the 5Ghz frequency can’t be disabled. There is no AP isolation that I could change. My problem: Since the 2.4Ghz and the 5Ghz frequencies have the same SSID I can’t manually assign a specific device to one or the other frequency. As soon as a SONOS device switches to the 5GHz frequency , it disappears from the SONOS app and can’t be reached. For the IKEA IKEA Symfonisk Bookshelf speakers this isn’t an issue since they only connect to the 2.4Ghz frequency. The Five and the One SL can be forced

Is there a way to do this as I would like my virgin media remote and my magic remote to control the volume on my Beam using optical. When watching Netflix, Amazon prime etc I use my magic remote but I have to use the Virgin remote for volume as can’t get them both to work. I can get them to work using HDMI but I’m having handshake issues so I’ve gone the optical route. Surely there is a way round this.

Hi there. I hope that someone can help me out with this one. I have a Sonos system with a Play:1 and a Boost. I am now trying to add a Sonos Connect that I’ve received to it. The setting up process in the app works smoothly up to the last step, when I get a message that Connect cannot be shown in the system tab. The message asks to disconnect and reconnect the power cable of the Sonos Connect, after which it should be visible in the system tab. Unfortunately, after I perform the unplugging and re-plugging, the Connect is still missing from the system app.The only way to see the Connect in the system tab is by wiring it to the router, but once unwired, then it is gone. When wired, I can see in the settings tab that all elements, Boost, Play:1 and Connect have WM:0 indicated.Any idea what to do?

I use  spotify and sonos radio on my sonos system. My system is a beam, a sub, and three plays (we have one in the kitchen and two as surround sound in living room). I have owned my system for 2+ years and have never had issues. I am subscribed to Sonos Radio app. I also have spotify set up on my system which I stream from with no issue. However, whenever I try and play any station on Sonos Radio, it will continuously pause or skip songs, and then say my wifi is too unstable. I have researched and seen the advise of rebooting your router, it being network interference etc, What confuses me is why its only Sonos Radio streaming that has problems, but not spotify and I even signed up for soundcloud and tested that and it plays perfectly fine. I am streaming directly through the sonos app. Any help would be appreciated! I dont want to unsubscribe from Sonos Radio but I will if i cant use it! 

Hii have had my sonos system for about 3 years, and I have never had a problem with Alexa until over Christmas, when I ask Alexa to play a track or put a radio station on, she acknowledges the request but nothing happens.any chance someone can help me on this

Hi,I have a Sonos Arc, Sonos One rear speakers and a sub.I have an issue that on occasions when I adjust the volume the sound starts to break and continues to do this unless I turn off and on at the plug .advice and help to resolve this would be appreciated 

Hi,On the Ikea Symfonisk speaker lamp the music stops frequently. Then after a few minutes it starts again. Tried to reset router and sonos. Tried toi change frequency. There is a boost in the house. The playbar, close to the speaker lamp is wired. I've started everything one by one up again and so on. Up till now I didn't find a solution. I use an Orbi router RBR50, firmware V2.7.3.22. The diagnostic information is send number 112754550. Any idea's?THX

Hi,I’ve noticed this problem on certain Netflix shows and it seems related to Dolby (Atmos). I know I can’t get Atmos to the Playbar due to its optical connection and I’m perfectly happy with the sound other than this subtle, but annoying, issue.  Any suggestions?

I have a problem when I listen to a lot of music.I usually listen to radio 3 programme: through the night, all night, every night when I go to bed on sonos speakers.I sometimes listen to 4 or 5 albums through the day, streamed on apple music, either through speakers wired to a tablet, or on sonos speakers.I might watch a chess video or bbc catch up on a laptop through the day as well.I find that if I use the internet a lot, I get the error: sonos unable to connect.I don’t get this message, if I cut back on internet usage.If I leave it a while, sonos comes back eventually.I currently have fibre 65 on talktalk. If I upgrade to virgin media fibre M200, is this likely to solve the problem? I don’t want to change my provider if it is unnecessary. I don’t really need the extra speed; I just want a more reliable internet.Thanks

Bonjour, j'ai un tourne disque de marque JVC qui doit être raccordé à un connecteur RCA Phono et en le raccordant à ma sonos five via un câble rca femelle / jack il n'y a presque pas de son. Même en réglant le paramètre "niveau de la source" sur 10. Avez-vous eu une solution ou avez-vous déjà rencontré le même problème que moi ? Faut-il que j'achète un pré ampli ?Cordialement

Hi,I’ve had my beam and 2 SL ones for a few years now. As of tonight the sound gets choppy after a few seconds of audio of all kinds (streaming, local computer music, music cast to the TV directly).I’ve eliminated a computer problem (Smart Tv Netflix was choppy) and the sound works fine when sound comes out of anything but speakers (headphones).TV sounds works fine when the setup from Sonos is disconnected, and I’ve reset the system to no improvement.I usually use the whole setup wireless, so I tried with ethernet and the problem got worse, which I didn’t think was possible.I really hope it’s not a replace the beam situation, if any help can be provided I’d appreciate it. 

I have a whole surround sound set up, Sonos Arc the Sub gen 3 and two Sonos One SL but almost all the time, my rear Sonos One SL speakers flicker in and out of sound like there loosing signal or there's an interference I notice it even more so if I pass in front of the speakers or get close to them, my wifi is strong and my router is next to my TV I Xfinity Xfi gateway with 1,200 gig speed there highest speed I can get, so I'm curios what it could be?

Q1. Can you connect an apple tv via airplay directly to two Sonos 5s?Q2. If yes, will the volume control on the apple remote control the volume of the Sonos 5s?

A few weeks ago my Sonos setup ( 2x Play 5’s) lost the music library which is on my Drobo ( I don’t know why) I have managed to set the path to the music library ( off topic but why isn’t this easy? Why can’t I simply browse to it?) but when I press to update the index on my iPhone it goes grey for a second but then nothing happens. If try to update on my Mac it beachballs forever until I give up. ( over 24hours) If I try to update on my PC the Music Library on the desktop app says its indexing but then it stops after a second and nothing happens. My library is quite large but still way under the track limit. I don’t know what to do to try to get this working again ( had years of pain free setup prior to this) Any ideas?

Do I need to make changes on my Sony 950g? watching Netflix 4k service Marvels Iron Fist. The movie description says it plays in Atmos, but I’m not seeing it on my Atmos App. Thank you 🙏 

My Sonos 1 system has lost the second speaker and I can’t re-install it because I need Android 10 or above on my Nexus 7 device, purchased as part of the original system installation.  But the Nexus 7 only has Android 6.0.1 on it and can’t upgrade to give me the add/remove feature I need.  Nor can Sonos download the original version of software which supports Android 6.0.1.  Is there anyone out there that can provide me a copy of the software or a get around please?  I don’t see why i need to purchase another mobile device when everything else is working ok.  Thank you

Good afternoon,I have a new Sonos Move that I have assigned to a stereo pair of an existing unit.  I am finding that the right hand unit keeps on dropping out.At the moment, I have music coming out of the left speaker, but not the right.  If I change the balance to the right speaker, I get silence.  I’ve just submitted a diagnostic, number 2131499804.If I unpair the stereo pair, both speakers work.  If I then repair, it works, but then it drops out again after a while.Yesterday, I chatted with with a support agent online.  They said that one speaker was on channel 34, the other was on channel 42 and as such it didn’t work.  They asked me to unpair and repair (which fixed it).  I went through “I’ve already done that - it will just happen again”.  They suggested changing the sonosnet channel from 11 to 1.  Quite why changing the 2.4GHz channel would affect speakers running on 5GHz, I don’t know.  But, the agent assured me that would fix the problem.Unsurprisingly, I’ve just pressed play
