Components and Architectural

My Sonos move has been working perfectly. Today, while playing music, it just stopped and now the front orange light is flashing and no other power / light will turn on.  I have tried leaving it on the charging station and using a USB-C charger, I’ve tried all the reset options of holding the power or connect button for a various number of seconds. Nothing is working.  Please help.  Thank you Jason

Hi does anyone know why the volume is so low even when the bar is set to halfway up ? I’m not hard of hearing but seems weird that I half to go at least to over half way to get decent sound

Whenever I do (almost) anything to a sonos playlist, I get an. I cannot save the queue to a new playlist or as a replacement of an existing playlist. Sonos always gives me an error (usually “unable to save queue”). Sometimes, in spite of the error, the new or modified playlist will show up only to be missing a hour or two later. This is very frustrating as it is how I save playlists from my own physical library.

I have just had my wifi upgraded and now I cannot connect to my Sonos Play 1 speaker. The app doesn’t even recognise I have one. My speaker is plugged in next to my router with the ethernet cable attached to the router from the speaker. What is going on?  

Hi,I’m trying to add a new Sonos One to an exiting system, using the S2 app. After selecting to add a new device and selecting the new Sonos One I get a message saying “Let’s make sure you SONOS App is up to date”. After that I get a message saying “There was a problem verifying your Sonos app. Error code 800”. There are suggestions like “reboot your router” etc, all of which are fine. The phone is connected to the internet, and the app is up to date. Since this message is from the Sonos app itself, I’m not sure why it’s having problems verifying itself.Does anyone know what the 800 error code means (no reference to this on the Sonos site), or what the problem might be?

We have a bridge, a Sonos Play 5, 2 Sonos Play 3 and and a Play 1 My husband upgraded to S2 - not realising he should not and told me that 3 of the rooms had stopped working.I could see that 3 of the components had upgraded to S2 (Excluding Play 5 and Bridge)So I have reset the 3 back to factory settings and I can seem them on the wifi network However, despiite the fact that I can see Bridge and Play 5 from the Sonos controller  I cannot add back the 3 reset components Each time I try to do this I am told update needed, then I see update problem I was with support for 3 hours last night and no solution in sight any suggestions on what to do I have not changed my Reuter in any way - although I have restarted it and both the Bridge and Play 5 last night

One of the recent updates introduced an annoying bug so that makes the last song a playlist played from the music library ignore the replaygain tags and thereby bypasses loudness normalization, meaning the last song of an album is way louder than the rest of the album.The issue can be worked around by adding more songs to the playlist, but this is really awkward for album-centric listeners like me.

Diagnostic #1912436882unplugged router and Sono play bar still gives error code that device is unable to play Spotify/Amazon music. Anything showing on diagnostics?

For about a week the Sonos connection to both Amazon Music and Audible as well as Sonos Radio has been very patchy. When streaming an album or audiobook, either: - it refuses to start playing the album altogether and doesn't queue any tracks, or - it plays or fails to play the first track, moves on to the next then will either play or fail to play track 2 and move on to the next, etc... or - it does nothing, circle spins and nothing gets played, "No music selected" As examples, I get these errors:> Unable to play 'name of song' - unable to connect to Amazon Music> Unable to play 'Sonos Radio' - unable to connect to Sonos Radio> unable to add music to the queue> An error occurred while adding tracks (error 701)> ... error 1002> Unable to browse music - there was an problem connecting to Amazon Music> Unable to browse music - there was an problem connecting to Sonos Radio It is annoying when playlists/albums don't play in the correct sequence, but is extremely frustr

This is probably the weirdest issue out there on this community page. Long post.TL;DR: Need to know what firewall rule to edit for Sonos Library service to work. Am too scared to yeet my own connection.So, since about less than a week ago, I recently acquired (hint: sail the high seas) some Free Lossless Audio Codec files of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) OST. Of course, I was interested in hearing the differences between the 320kbps MP3 and the 44.1kHz 16-bit FLAC files I had on my hard disk drive.My laptop and all Sonos devices are connected via several Ethernet cables to the router via a 24-port network switch. It cannot be my router.On my laptop, I first used the Sonos Win controller. I received this error code in the Windows Sonos controller.“Saturday, May 15, 2021 - 1:44 PM Canberra, Melbourne, SydneyUnable to play 'Into the Furnace' - unable to connect to 192.168.0.54:10246.”That local IP address is my laptop (confirmed by accessing router’s device list).Alright, let’s

Recently one of my two Sonos Beam started to not respond to me saying Hey Google. I just started looking into it and when I opened the Sonos app all my speakers are not connected now. Two beams and two Play 1s. At the top of the app it's says Unable to connect to Sonos: Let's fix it But when I click Let's fix it, it says it can't find my 4 devices, and then it searches for the for a few minutes but it doesn't find them. I've power cycled all the Sonos devices and my router. Other device's can connect to my wifi just fine and I haven't changed anything. Wtf is going on?

Hi,I moved my Connect to a different room and now the play/pause button always ends up blinking green. I have verified all the connections, including ethernet. I have reset to factory reset as well. I saw a similar thread here but there was no solution presented.Thanks for your help.

Dear allI ask you to urgently REPAIR the SONOS app to the following topic:I move daily between three places. Everywhere SONOS is in place.The sites are connected with VPN.The SONOS app is always showing the last connected system.So I have three times a day “Ignore actual system”, closing the app and connecting to existing system.Very annoying.I had the same installation before when using the old app (S1). And it worked.Why not showing the system in the actual network instead of one far away?Please!

Hi everyone,since 2 days I experience massive sound issues in my Sonos system.My system looks like described below:2 x Sonos One 1 x Sonos Play:12 x Sonos Ikea Symfonisk ShelfI installed the newest firmware from today and still have these issues.Every few minutes some of my speakers are without music and some of them are still playing the music. But everytime it’s another speaker, so nothing which could be reproduced easily. If it helps here is the latest diagnostic code: 1466302434Best regardsBabaWitti

Hi allI’m trying to play Tarantino's soundtrack and it appears that some songs in album are grayed out. I'm trying to do that on Tidal from inside the Sonos app on my iPhone. In the same time that songs(full album) are perfectly playable on this device directly from Tidal. It's not my playlist just album.The same on the Android device and in some other albums.Why? It's a huge disappointment. I've got few more days to return the speaker.Can anybody help?

Hello, I’d you go to Spotify > scroll down to Songs > play any song, I am getting the following error: An error occurred while adding tracks to queue (701). Songs play fine if I play them through a playlist for example. I tried reauthorizing and the issue still happening. I submitted a diagnostic report as well: 2080463729. Thanks. 

I have the following Sonos setup1 x Boost2 x Play:1s paired - kitchen2 x sonos Ones paired - living room1 x sonos Five - OfficeWhen I try to play any HD music(Tidal or Sonos Radio HD) with the speakers grouped together, the music drops in and out from speaker to speaker. Especially when I switch to a new song manually. Even when I play Sonos Radio HD on the kitchen by itself I’ll get drops or the music volume will lower itself intermittently. I contacted Sonos support and after hours of troubleshooting was transferred to their top tier support. He said my wireless looked clean with no interference and we went through a number of trouble shooting steps(changed wireless channels, changed controllers, etc..) with no luck. He said he was seeing buffer overruns in the logs but that was it. He eventually just recommended wiring all the speakers with ethernet which completely defeats the purpose of buying wireless speakers.Just wondering if anyone else was having similar issues with HD music

My situation:Amazon unlimited playlist containing 12 songs. 1 of those songs is repeated. when trying to play either ‘version' of that song within the playlist it fails saying error with encoding. if I create a new playlist with all songs just once they play perfectly. this coincides with me accepting the HD upgrade from Amazon music.  the simple workaround is to only ever have a song in your Amazon music playlist once but it used to work, for years on the same playlist. It also means if you accidentally add your favourite song twice you’ll never hear it.  Anyone else having this issue? Know if there is a plan to fix it? 

This problem just started today. When I select my local ESPN radio station through Sonos, it only plays the commercials and not that actual radio station when they are on air. It will just go silent for 5 or 10 minutes until they go back to a commercial break. I have never experienced this before. Any ideas?

Has anyone experienced random bursts of loud popping coming from their play bar? I was just awoken at 2:00am by what can only be described as a continual ‘machine gun’ like sound coming from the speaker. This seems somewhat startling. Nothing like this has happened before.

My roam on occasion just stops working for Airplay.  Works fine when I try with my Move.  I’ve rebooted my router and comes back then cuts out again.  Noticed this a few times already, other times works just fine.  Thoughts?

I changed broadband providers and since then whilst Alexa response and acknlowedges my request:Alexa, play songs by Prince Playing songs by prince on spotify… nothing happs. I can access the sonos app or spotify app and play songs / media on any of my many devices… but none can be operates via Alexa.I have removed Alexa from all devices - no joyRemoved all services from sonos - no joyDisabled all skills on alexa and re-enabled - no you I have a beam, several ones… none work

Our office recently upgraded our wi-fi access points. (Same password etc mind, other devices worked seamlessly)  As we couldn't get the Sonos speakers to connect, I have tried factory resetting and starting from scratch. After going through the setup process on the app (successfully!) The app says that the speaker has been added but may not appear in the system tab until after a reboot. After multiple reboots it still does not appear in the app and another factory reset and set up has not made a difference.At the moment, I am working with one single Sonos Play:1 for troubleshooting, but there is a whole building full of speakers that are essentially unusable. Any ideas?

BE WARNEDIf you have am Amazon Music Unlimited account and you upgrade it to Amazon Music HD, then any Amazon Music songs already stored in playlists within the Sonos app will no longer play. I had to get Amazon to remove the "upgrade". This resolved the issue immediately. 

Had Sonos system for some years and it has worked satisfactorily but just recently a problem has developed whereby I can’t connect and get the message “unable to connect to Sonos “.Nothing has altered on our system which is controlled by two separate iPhones and an iPad all using Sonos 2 app.I have followed the instructions to fix problem and although it identifies my speakers it says cannot connect. For no specific reason it then starts working perhaps for a day then either the iPhones work and the iPad doesn't or only one iPhone works.Tied contacting  sonos by phone but huge wait times.Mentioned my problem to daughter today , who lives 5 miles away , and she is experiencing exactly same problem.Any help appreciated.Regards
