Components and Architectural

Hello folksI seem to have a horrific experience of keeping my 5 sonos devices visible to whatever UI I am using.  I’ll try and list out the situation here and see if any of you kind souls have any ideas.Devices: 3 x S1, 1 Playbar & Sub (not used with any of the S1’s)Home WIFI is dualband with seperate 2.4 and 5Gh networks SONOS is aware of the 2.4 GH network SONOSNET is active (I have 2 devices on ethernet, all devices show as WM:0) S1 on ethernet (Hall) S1 on ethernet (Bedroom) This is a powerline type solution rather than a single run of ethernet from LAN to room (so it is router to powerline - then over wiring to powerline receiver - then ethernet to speaker) S1 on sonosnet (Dining room) Playbar and Sub on sonosnet (Lounge) On Sonos Desktop App (windows) I can see Hall, Dining Room and Lounge.  I am currently playing on the Hall On Sonos Android App (2) On 2.4 network I can see devices depending on where I am in the house.  Standing in the middle of the house now - I

I just got a new Samsung television and decided to replace my old playbase with a new beam 2. My system includes two play ones for surrounds and a sub.  The Beam is connected via Ethernet, others wireless. Beam is connected to TV with eARC. Sound from Beam is fine and app shows Dolby Atmos input from Netflix. Steady white lights on surrounds and Sub but no sound out of them. App on my iPhone shows system correctly (Beam + 2 surrounds and Sub). Removing and reconnecting satellites with app asks me if I want to move one satellite from “Den2” to “Den” and the other from “Den3” to “Den” (I only have one den and the app only shows one room called den). I say yes to moving them but I get an error message about trouble connecting but app then shows satellites connected anyway. Same if I remove and re-add the Sub.  Not sure if I need to factory reset the satellites and Sub and start anew or what.  Thanks

Many employers put restrictions on your phone as part of device management.  Many (like mine) require a code to use airplay on a device which is fine for TV’s or other devices that have a screen (code typically pops up that you can enter on your phone).  Sonos now has airplay capabilities, but no screen or passcode thus a problem.  A suggestion would be to add a pop up on a computer from sonos.com when trying to connect to an airplay sonos device for the first time.  Would solve the problem.  Or a standard passcode like 12345 that would work for any sonos.

Anyone has issue with account and system greyed out in the Sonos app, unable now to setup my beam and sonos 

I own two Sonos One speakers, one Sonos Move, and one Sonos Playbar. My diagnostic reference number is 1323800420. Our whole system will play for hours on end at times and then just start not working. We’ve reconnected it to the internet multiple times and ensured they’re all on the same network. It got better for a while but has started doing it again recently. 

My Sonos port regularly (every 10 to 20 minutes) drops out music stream for about 0.5s-1s. I especially noticed in with Tune-In, but I’m pretty sure it also happens with other sources. The port is connected to an Marantz AVR. I tried both digital coax as well as analog connection, the symptoms are the same. The Port is connected to network by Ethernet, WiFi is disabled. I don’t have drop-outs with the AVR on any other source, nor do I have drop-outs with my other Sonos components (Move, Play:3, Playbar).Has anyone else issues with drop outs on Sonos Port?If sonos support reads this: I uploaded diagnostic logs shortly after dropouts:16176981111993359435 

This product is garbage.  Unreliable.  I give up and have thrown it in to the trash.

Hi - I play music through my SONOS system via a PLEX media server that sits on a Synology NAS. I have a SONOS PORT, a PLAYBAR,  a PLAY3, and a BOOST. The BOOST is connected directly to my router via an ethernet cable. My problem is that Sonos is constantly disconnecting from PLEX which results in the music dropping out or songs on playlists being skipped over entirely . Even though I already have the BOOST connected directly to my router , if I were to also connect the PORT directly to my router would that eliminate these drop outs? Thanks for any help! 

My iphone se can no longer find my system but the ipad has no problem. I have not changed anything and re- installed the app

Hi,I’m streaming a movie from using the HDMI port from my MBP to one of my Sony Bravia’s inputs. The sound is coming out stereo, but I can’t seem to get surround to work. In Midi setup I have the config setup to surround and it works when testing the speakers, but not when streaming the movie. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I am planning to add Wifi 6 Mesh (probably Netgear Orbi) to my system, and am concerned about Sonos compatibility.  Will Sonos work as-is, or will I need to hard wire a Sonos component to the router?  If so, will a Sonos Bridge work?  Any other mods or tricks I need to know?  Thanks!

I have set up daily alarms that play apple music playlist. It's very flaky. I have noticed that the playlist works during the day. But the first alarm in the morning is failing consistently. It plays Chime instead of the playlist. I have to tap on the play button to stop the Chime. After that it works as expected starting with my next alarm till the end of the day. I have submitted diagnostic information via ticket 1574779059. Can you help?

My Playbase has ceased to connect to rest of the system over WiFi. The audio from the TV still comes through fine, and a wired connection works too. A permanent wired connection is not an option. After reviewing other topics, I have submitted diagnostics with confirmation number 1073629480. Can somebody please review and offer guidance?Thank you!

Hi all ok we’ve had this problem with our play 5 for a long time now (only speaker on on S1) the rest of the system is S2, anyways the play 5 randomly disconnects and stops the music for up to 30 seconds or so then carry’s on playing, it doesn’t disconnect as such but mutes the music but when it plays again it’s actually sounds like it’s been playing for that time period it was off (so as if the music is playing someones turned the volume down for a few seconds then turned it back up) we recently changed out WiFi router to a MeSH one and was hoping this would sort it out (like other issues) but it’s still the same. Could this be a network issue? All the speakers on the S2 app never seem to do this cheers

Even through the find missing products section many times and cannot get to connect.  any help would be appreciated. 

Hi, I have a Sonos beam and 2 Sonos ikea lamps, I have an issue where when using surround sound the surrounds keep cutting out briefly then coming back, I bought a boost to improve this and it did for a bit but now the issue has returned, I have removed the surrounds and readded and restarted the boost but this is still happening, does anyone know a fix for this? Thanks in advance🙂 Diagnositcs code 93151066

This is becoming a huge deal and it is really annoying. Just about every time I am playing music through Airplay to a Sonos speakers the music just stops being heard. The music is still playing in the app, but no sound from the speaker. I open the Airplay button, switch back to play on iPhone then pick the speaker again. It first tells me the speaker is unavailable then I pick it again and it plays from the speaker again. It might work for two songs or stop again. Very random. Anyone else having these issues. system is tens sonos speaker mix.   airplay played for IOS (Phone, Ipad).   I have disabled bluetooth.  Didn’t fix anything.   I followed apples recommendation to reboot (ha ha).  I use airplay other devices devices that are not sonos and have no problem, only occurs with sonos devices.

I’ve had  My Sonos since 2019. All of a sudden there is static and sounds like in and out on Radio.  Diagnostic :  1714425429

Why does the alarm sometimes select to play a different radio station than the one I have told it to?  I want it to play DR P4 but often it plays a commercial station instead, and I think it is The Voice. After all they are both danish stations. But it is very annoying. 

I would like to play music from Spotify or Youtube on my iMac on my Sonos One ( Gen2 }If I select System preferences on the iMac for sound it says there are no output controls for the Sonos.Must be possible surely ?

I just received my new Roam speaker and I have to say this was a horrible purchase and experience.  I run two SONOS systems at two different homes approximately 20 Sonos speakers in all.  One home is an older Sonos system running on S1 and the Roam is on the other house which operates S2 with S2 compatible devices.  The speaker will not always connect and when it does it connects for 20 seconds and then shuts off. Upon researching the issue online this is a known problem with the Roam.  So disappointing.  I have looked on many discussion boards and the reviews are the same.  What a disappointment.  I will be posting additional posts regarding this issue and my unfortunate experience.  I have followed all of the instructions for resetting, restarting, uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck.  I would not recommend purchasing this product.

Hi there, i have a fire tv cube and beam connected to the tv however i cannot hear sound on the beam if i talk to Alexa, i can now only configure fire tv as main speaker in my living room group. Your confirmation number is: 1590570698. Thanks. Luca.

I have two devices, directly connected to the router with a cable. One of the devices drops at random, stops playing, and then after a while returns on its on. Sometimes while this happens the speakers make a loud clicking sound. I captured a diagnosis after this happened once:452604873. Thanks.

I have 2 Play 1’s, and they won’t connect.  Only one will connect and it says not compatible and tries to update me to Sonos S2 controller.  S2 controller won’t recognize the system and says it’s not compatible.
