I have a Playbar, a Beam, 2x 1, a 3 and a 5. And a Bridge.At different times, one of the 1s and the 5 and now my Playbar have just stopped registering any power.I’ve changed fuses, interchanged cables, tried different locations and sockets, and nothing works.I think Sonos are simply shocking products for the rate at which they seem to be failing judging by my experience and that of other users I’ve seen commenting on the web with the same issue and lack of any fix support.I have two bose systems; a Wave I’ve had since 2001, and one home entertainment system which I’ve had since 2005. Both of which have been no problem.What explanation can Sonos offer? And what will they do about my most recent failure being the Playbar? 

About a month and a half ago Stitcher stopped working with my Sonos system. I tried deleting it and adding it back and I get an error saying the stitcher server did not recognize my account. Stitcher works fine. I can listen and sign out and back in to it’s app with no problem. Interestingly if I choose create account when adding stitcher to sonos it takes me to a 404 page https://www.stitcher.com/Sonos/sign_in.php  Can you please fix this bugI ran a diagnostic. The number is 444405896

I am not a radio engineer. In the past four months I have had to factory re-set my 3 Sonos multiple times. There have been no changes to my WIFI system, location, etc etc.“Which” advises that there are more reliable wifi music systems and my wife has decided that we will abandon Sonos and buy a system that works

Hi This question was raised 4 years ago and it’s baffling that there is still some issues about it.Songs with Japanese characters as their title/artist/etc. are displayed in giberrish although they are perfectly displayed with other software (MediaMonkey, or just Windows Explorer...)This is the case on both Windows and Android apps.Any idea how to fix this issue?

Hi. I am using Playbase with my TV and Apple TV 4K.  Setup:HDMI from Apple TV connected to the HDMI ARC port of the TV.  Optical cable connection between TV and Sonos Playbase TV sound settings it set to ‘External Speakers’It was all working as expected. I was able to control the volume of my Sonos with the Apple TV remote  It would not link/change the volume on my TV.  I recently did a software update on my Apple TV and on the TV (Android). Not sure what caused it but now, The volume buttons on Apple TV also controls the volume of the TV. So when ever i increase the volume, both outputs are active and i hear double sound.  Its really annoying. Checked all settings of TV, Cant disable tv speakers.  Anyone else faced this issue?

Recently switched from Ziply/Frontier/Verizon FIOS to T-Mobile Home Internet.Until this morning, had no problems related to SONOS, but now, get black screen and message “Sorry we can’t connect to SONOS” and the following suggestions:“Let’s try some things:• Turn your Wi-Fi off and on.Unplug your router, then plug it back in.Check the power to your products.• Restart your computer and try again.Changed router or Wi-Fi settings? Go tohttps://faq.sonos.com/NewAP” I’ve tried them all, and can’t get hooked back up.  Both are on the same network, which is fed through T-Mobile Gateway to Google mesh wi-fi & out to all devices.  Connection to SONOS is fine using the iphone and ipad apps on same network.Any suggestions?Thanks! 

My Gen 1 play 5 makes a regular  thudding noise after about 10 minutes of being turned on, this gradually increases in speed until it becomes continuous, this happens during standby as well as okay back, any help appreciated.

Can’t get the Controller CR200 connected to my multiroom system running on S1 sw. I have one Play 1 wired to the router and connecting procedure starts but do not find the system. So most likely system versions do not match, possible to downgrade the system to get the controller connected and then update all back up again?My system is running on the latest 11.2.8 version.

I have recently purchased a Sonos Roam (Kitchen and garden/garage) which I have connected to a Sonos One (Back Room) and SL (TV Room). When all connected in the house everything is fine. However on using the Roam in the garden via WiFi Extender it drops out and I get the following message.  “Some Sonos products are using a WiFi Extender. If you include one of these in a room group, you won’t be able to play music in that group. To ensure playback in all grouped rooms you’ll need to permanently wore a Sonos product to your router” I did connect the SL to the router however still got the drop out and above message.Help please.

Been running Sonos for 10 years or so across 7 zones.   I added Spotify to my services and suddenly all my rooms have disappeared but one.   The one that has remained will not work either, it will allow me to select music but no progress when hitting play.I was on hold on the phone line for 20 minutes and then suddenly the hold music stopped….still on the line but don’t know if I have been dropped?Tried chat as well and stuck on “transferring to agent.” Any help would be appreciated - super frustrating. 

Hi All,Running Windows 10 x64 here. When I update Sonos, it will no longer launch, it gives the below error. Then next time you reboot the system will not start at all - it gives a blue screen. Luckily my system is a Virtual Machine and I can restore back to before the system update.Can anyone help. 

Yesterday I installed my new Sonos arc.  As soon as it was installed my move and one SL disappeared from the app.   The strange thing is that I can still play music on both directly from Spotify.  This makes me think it is a Sonos app issue and not a network issue.  Please advise. 

We bought a new Sonos for the bedroom on the third floor of our townhouse. The second one is on the middle floor and the third one on the kitchen on the ground floor. Three of us in the house using the Sonos and all experiencing different states of connectivity. Sometimes we can see all devices, sometimes two and sometimes none. All are different at any different times on each of our mobiles. Router is on the middle floor and we have tried everything we have found in line. Unplugging, re booting etc. Anything we have missed before having to buy a booster? Thanks 

Hello,I’ve two songs in my Sonos Favorites that I cannot delete from the Favorites list.There is no menu to delete them.I cannot play them eitherI’ve tried from the Android App and the Windows App. Like ghost entries.Can someone help me ?

Connection to Sirius lost. Still able to connect to Sirius on other devices in the house, just not to SONOS

Hi All, I am becoming increasingly frustrated with my Sonos app not locating my Sonos system. Once I have turned the items off and then on and reset the router and connected my play one through a cable it works for about 10 minutes then loses it again. Then I have to do the same process all over again! I give up, I loved my Sonos system but no longer this is infuriating as I can’t listen to any of my music. It still works fine on my TVs around the house but I can’t locate the system on the app!  There has got to be an issue with the app!!!  

Sonos is unable to tell me why my 3 groups of 7 speakers (G1:Play 5 R+L+Sub, G2:One SL R+L, G3:Play 1) with Boost in my main 20x30 foot, open-concept floor go out of sync while playing Spotify. Spoke to three tech reps over 2hrs and 45min tonight bc their line kept dropping (1call back of the 4 hang-ups, obviously)  Conclusion: Sonos claims 80mbps fiber-optic Wi-Fi download speed is not enough to play Spotify music on the 7 grouped speakers without interruption.  Recommended I call my ISP and get more bandwidth. Of course they will not tell me how much download speed is required, whilst their published documentation says minimum 5mbps.  Nor are they able to tell me why this only happens with Spotify premium and not others like TuneIn, Mixcloud or Amazon music.  Any ideas?

I need help troubleshooting an annoying issue with our Sonos setup. We have 9 different Sonos units: 3 Ones, 1 One SL, 1 Five, 3 Playbars (one with a sub, one with two side speakers).It seems like every few months the system starts to bug out, music won't play on the speakers I try to play it on, for example, I'll select Dining Rooms 1, 2 and 3 to play music, the app will show music playing on all 3 but it'll only be playing on one or two of them. I'll start to get get error messages trying to play music from pandora "Not authorized to play pandora" despite it working every other time. Error messages from music off Napster. Sonos will start playing the song, then give me a "not authorized" message and skip to the next song, just to repeat each song it's skipped to.The only way to fix this is to go and unplug every Sonos unit, restart my internet, then go plug all the Sonos back in. This only solves the issue for a few months when all the above issues start up again and I have to reset

I have had quite a few issues with connect to my move from my Iphone X via Bluetooth.I finally managed to connect , after several resets of my Move and Iphone,  by being at least 3 m away .Then the sound ( via deezer app ) would either not play or kept cutting out .  This was  resolved by keeping my iphone at least  6 m  20 ft away from the move. How can this be resolved as its not practical tokeep mt phone away for the move .

 I found out that many time when i try to open spotify on iPhone it keep say connecting and nothing happen. Im quite sure that the is a problem on sonos system because i switch to connect echo amp and bose everything is fine and for the network i run in aruba enterprise grade device is quite stable than normal. How you suggests me to fix this problem? 

I recently bought a used Xbox One S.Bought solely to use as a BD player as I know it can transcode DTS to Dolby Digital.  So I have set it all up. Xbox is set to output bitstream DD 5.1 and my Sonos AMP is also showing that it is playing DD 5.1.  Unfortunately, the sound is out of sync.  Everything is in sync when playing in uncompressed stereo and everything is in sync from my other sources (Apple TV).  Has anyone tried this? Can’t fix it with my TVs audio delay as that can only add further delay.  My tv is an LG GX. I have two Sonos AMPs (one front and one rear) and a Sonos Sub. 

A few weeks ago my sonos system randomly stopped connecting to my phone. Today I reset everything, using another family member’s iphone, and it worked fine on there. I tried to connect on my iphone and it still said ‘cannot connect’ or that there isn't a sonos system on that Wi-fi. I managed connect fine on my laptop, so it is clearly my phone… but I have done everything in settings to allow permissions etc. and it still won’t find the system (and the system settings options on the app are greyed out!). If anyone else has had this issue, please could you help me fix it because I have tried everything and the system seems to be working fine… but I can't see the problem with my phone/wifi either. Thanks.

Hi, My Sonos move  it doesn't working at all as no power on and battery light is keep flashing and beeping red. No idea what to do 

Does anyone else suffer from this? Whenever I go to open my Sonos app, 9 times out of 10 it won't find my account or system. I don't know how many times I've had to turn on and off my wi-fi on phone and the router and I've had enough now. Especially when my son uses "hey Google" to start music on the Sonos one and then I can't stop it or turn it off on other speakers because it can't find my system to control, even though it's actively playing! Anything I can do? Last attempt now before I sell it all.

Recently I have found that the favorites list in Sonos has become corrupted with a subset of the song list recurring multiple times and I have not been able to clear this. I am using Deezer as my music provider and the favorite playlist there is fine, the problem exists on both my S1 and S2 equipment.So far I have tried :-1.Changing my Deezer password and reconnecting to the service and2.Rebooting my router and all of my Sonos units All to no avail, any suggestions gratefully received
