Components and Architectural

I am running Sonos S2 Ver 12.2.1 on an Android device and am unable to create a simple playlist of selected music I have copied to the SD card in my device despite having followed all the instructions about adding a song to a queue then adding it from there to a playlist. The app will not allow me to create a playlist.Now I have found a little phrase in a closed discussion that reads:“Note, you cannot add tracks on a mobile device to a playlist, only from My Music Library or music services.”My Music Library is something I recall had something to do with the dreaded iTunes- something I have happily had nothing to do with since switching to Android.Are you seriously telling me I can’t create a playlist in Sonos from my music collection?

Yesterday I started getting an error message when playing songs from my playlist...this only happens with the Amazon music streaming service. The error code is this song is not correctly encoded. I can add a song to the playlist, and play that but anything that was added before yesterday will not play and gives off this error message.Coincidentally, I also upgraded to Amazon HD music yesterday. No issues playing any other streaming services. I have rebooted my router (hard reset)I have also reset multiple speakersPlease help! Diagnostics submitted: 2108077815 Thank you.

I was playing my playbar at full volume, heard a pop and no more playbar.Lights don’t come on when powered up...I think it died...now what?

Diagnostics info confirmation number 1642358242 Can someone at Sonos tell me what’s going on?

Anyone have any idea why sonos connect just stopped connecting with my android phone 5-10-2021? No phone updates made. No wifi changes. Still connects with my laptop just fine.

Why is this happening again with the last update? Nothing has changed but now Sonos cannot connect to Spotify? Yes we have restarted everything, unplugged, rebooted, removed accounts and added again. Same result. Diagnostics submitted again.

My S1 is making crackling noises and is sounding awful. Any recommendations on how to rectify this?

Is anyone else having issues with Spotify via the Sonos S2 app?For the last few months, I have had consistent issues including: Lags in response to controls  (change volume, skip, change playlist, add/remove rooms, etc.) for up to 15-20 seconds Music dropping out (10-30 seconds) immediately after any change to a stream (skip, change playlist, volume, etc.)  Failure of stereo pairs to operate together, either briefly or permanently, most commonly after in response to changing any of the functions listed aboveI have chatted with wonderfully responsive Sonos support a number of times, and they have suggested the following, all of which I have tried to no avail: Change channels, which I have tried many times Change the position of my Bridge and wireless router - I have tried many configurations   Validate that I have the Bridge connected to the proper port Ethernet port, which I have done.  Nothing has worked with respect to Spotify, but oddly, I don’t see nearly as many issues when playin

Hello,My Sonos Playbar is not able to connect anymore. I reset to factory settings, restarted wifi, connected via ethernet. None of this worked. I can’t re-add the product: It searches, finds playbar correctly, then I push the buttons to complete connection and there it fails.Thank you for any help in advance!

We have four products which were all working fine on the S1 app, and all incompatible with S2. Two of them have stopped working and demand an update, which forces an update of the app on my devices to S2. So I thought I’d factory reset them (having tried all the reboot network options) and now when I try to add them using Add Product in the S1 app, they won’t connect, and again an app upgrade to S2 is forced.  It’s in an endless loop.  This system has worked perfectly for years. Have Sonos really now cocked things up, unless I upgrade everything to S2?

I was the lucky owner of a a Connect·Amp, and readily “upgraded” to AMP. Reconnecting the same speakers does not give me the same quality (expected an improvement).  The speakers connected it 2 x Speakercraft Speaker (ACCUFIT ULTRA SLIM THREE) and a SpeakerCraft  8.2 BAS  in-ceiling  sub-woofer. The way they connected to Connect:Amp was connecting the 2 channels to the subwoofer, which then sends “non-bas” to the 2 speakers. With AMP that gives a very thin sound with a very light bas. Turning BAS to max makes it still under bas’ed.Please advise… About Accufit Ultra Slimhttps://www.evernote.com/shard/s1/sh/01eb69c3-7f8e-4cc6-95c7-b71d193e565d/05bf095bc6c81fa72f6bcaca653b02cf About 8.2 BAShttps://www.evernote.com/shard/s1/sh/fa2b0896-f400-40d7-9e31-960471d9bcc4/ababb1d64edd29a21d78c51a8cd48b6e 

Just got two new Sonos Ones. Unplugged two old Play 3s and 5 (gen1) which we weren't going to use any more.Started set up using Sonos 1 app. Didn’t remove the three old items from the app. Think that was a big mistake! All well setting up first One. Then had an issue with the second One. Thought moving to the new Sonos 2 app might help.Upgraded but now in a horrible loop. S2 app says I have an item incompatible with it so I am sent to use S1 app to upgrade but that sends me back to S2. I can’t get out of this loop.Help greatly appreciated. Thanks

I just wanted to report that I had the BT Whole Home (mesh) network installed this week.  As a result, the Sonos controller app now works in throughout the house - which is very convenient.My Sonos system uses a Playbase wired into my BT Home Hub.  I have a Sonos Boost.  

My Sonos will no longer recognise one of my Sonos Connects. When I try and add the Connect again as a new device the app tells me “App Update Needed” (the version of the App on my phone is 11.2.8). When I attempt to update the App I get an error message “Update problem”. The associated error code I click on more information is 1101.I have rebooted my router and wifi. I also also uninstalled the App and reinstalled it. I have also tried doing the update from my iMac. Nothing has worked.Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've have a SONOS PORT (connect to a record player) which has autoplay enabled for group Kitchen (containing 2 sonos ONE's)When spinning a record, the sound can be heard via the “Kitchen” speakers. When switching to Spotify, the sound is gone. The Kitchen ONE's are still visible in the app (no error/offline message is displayed), they just don't produce any sound/music. I can control the volume “slider”but this has no effect at all. No music is broadcasted. When putting a record back on (and autoplay kicks in) the Kitchen ONEs produce sound. (So I didn't reset/touched the Kitchen ONE's). Any idea what is happening and how this can be resolved?My entire SONOS setup is using my own wifi network, is not LAN connected and thus not using SonosNET. (This is a deliberate choice...see one of my other threads for the why part :-))Thanks for the support! 

Until recently when I airdropped a streaming service to my Move it would be available throughout my Sonos system… now it is limited to my stereo paired Moves to which I airdropped it.  Can someone tell me what might be needed to get airdropped streaming throughout my whole system?

Have five rooms and a boost connecting all. Two rooms of play ones, two rooms of play fives with one also having a sub, and one room of play threes. When using spotify the playback is extremely hit or miss for any room or group of rooms with 10-15s interruptions common and speakers shutting on and off in various rooms. Occasionally songs end early and skip to the next track in the middle of a song. I’ve tried using a couple other services such as soundcloud, and while they’re not 100% reliable it’s only one room affected for one or both speakers, not as drastic as spotify.However when using tunein to play local radio I can group the entire set or any combo together flawlessly and instantly every time. Sonos and spotify and all speakers are updated to the latest software. As best I can tell it’s not a problem with my wifi, and the spotify account is not shared. Has anyone else experienced this and possibly found a fix? Could it possibly be a problem with my boost or the system itself?Th

HI, i have been with vodafone for a few years and due to where I live have accepted slow broadband and constant dropouts but after it interrupted t football game i decided enough is enough and contacted there support and have they have been looking at the connection issues and have stated that “ Sonos products talk amongst themselves and are crashing the connection in the router. This is a long standing issue that we are aware of and have not had any information form sonos as we need to work with them to get a fix in place.” By connecting everything by LAN cables (running everywhere not looking good ) for the last 5 days it has stayed constantly connected but they cannot see the products connected to the router. They are ringing me back in a week as i said i would try to find something out but have had no joy as all the products work but it crashes my internet connection. Any Ideas?  Sonos ArcSonos OneSonos Play 3

The Recently Played section isn’t updating. I tried disabling and re-enabling Personalization Services. No help (now the Recently Played section is empty…. newly played music doesn’t appear in the Recently Played section). It’s the same on my iPad and iPhone.Using S2. Everything’s up to date. Running iOS 14.5.1. Services:  Amazon Music, YouTube Music. I see other have mentioned this over the past few months. is this a bug? Is there something that can be done to address this?Thanks….

My Sonos Beam cuts out for 3 to 5 seconds at least once every two minutes when I am watching cable TV. That only happens when I am using my cable box as input. I have a Vizio Smart TV, and when I play from any of the apps (e.g. Prime Video, Pandora) the Beam works just fine. The problem is only with cable TV. My cable box is connected to the television via HDMI cable. My Beam is connected to the TV via HDMI arc. TV audio settings: Speakers - OffVolume Control Display - OnSurround Sound - OffVolume Leveling - OffDigital Audio - AutoAnalog Audio Out - VariableCable audio settings:Audio Coding Format - HDMI (if I use other options there is no sound at all)3D Mode - DisabledDolby Volume Mode - Off I found something that recommends disconnecting all input cables from TV, turning it off for awhile, then turning it back off. I have tried that, and it helps for awhile. However, I would have to do that every time I use my TV with cable.

Hi there,I wonder why my Sonos app has difficulty finding the Recently Played stations on my Sonos app for iOS. It shows the spinning ball for a very long time mostly without finding anything. However, sometimes the list shows up immediately (but rarely though).  What can I do?  Any help is appreciated.  kind regards Peter 

I have one set of play 1 sterio pairA sonos moveA sonos oneAnd two more play 1They're driving me mad lately being full of glitches. Me speakers keep disappearing and sometimes take days to find as even installing them as new doesn't find them sometimes. If I ask alexa what's playing, I'm told either nothing is playing or the wrong song and the speakers won't play in unison with some even playing different songs despite being set in the same group. Lastly it keeps skipping tracks half way through. It's just weird. I've recently upgraded my router to try and help with the demand but it's not really helped. Anybody know whats up? 

Hi please help. Nothing has changed since November when I switched to BT smart hub 2 with new WiFi disc. Everything was working fine until the last few weeks then the 2 play 1 devices I have started disappearing from the system all the time. I have gone through all the resetting solutions changed WiFi channels to both 1 & 6 ( after switching off smart WiFi). The result is always the same. It works for a few minutes then looses connect and I have to search for the system again and go through the same reboot and checking procedures only to end up with exactly the same result.
