Components and Architectural

My Sonos Playbar yesterday was no longer reading my Samsung remote, and now appears to be completely dead, no lights, and not responding.  I tried a hard reboot that did nothing.  I tried calling customer service and after waiting on hold for 30 minutes, they dropped my call.  I tried the chat and was suppose to be connected to a live rep, and “Hugo” never responded to me.I spent $700 on this speaker 2 years ago and would have expected a) it to last longer than 24 months, b) better support.  Please help.

I did nothing. Last night Sonos worked, today, nothing. In the app, Settings, Account, and System are greyed out. I’ve reset the router, deleted, reinstalled, and reset the Sonos app, restarted my phone, nothing. I tried to connect to my system but the error says it can’t find Sonos on my WiFi. Since I can’t access Settings, Account, or System, I’m at a complete standstill. Totally locked out. $1500 in tech and it’s nonfunctional. 

I’ve read a number of similar posts but haven’t seen a satisfactory solution yet. Like many people, I have noticed a significant deterioration in my Sonos user experience in the last year. I have been a customer for over 10 years and have a number of Sonos play and connect products. More recently they have just stopped working. We changed broadband provider  and connected all of the products again successfully. But now they all keep dropping off the app again. Sometimes one or two of the sonos products can be found on the app but mostly not, especially if lots of other devices are connected to the network. Have so far rebooted the WiFi router a lot, reset some of the Sonos products to factory settings but it only solves the problem for a day or two then they drop off the network again. I guess these are older products, but it doesn’t make me want to upgrade to new Sonos products but actually try a new more reliable system instead. Any help you can provide before I give in and move to a

Searched but could not find this error here. I have 2 play3 speakers and just bought a connect gen 2. I had some problems uppdating and installing it but this is now fixed. The connect is now visible as a system component in the app. However, when hooking it up, the system falls silent after a few seconds. Shutting the connect down makes the system work again. I have no idea what to do besides unplugging /rebooting etc.

Hi. I recently updated my software and now my playbar will disconnect when TV is turned off and then back on. The fix so far is to unplug the playbar and wait 10 seconds, Plug back in and then it reconnects.  I have a Sony Bravia TV. I have had the sonos for almost 3 years and have not had this problem until 4 days ago. Please help. 

I have a number of devices with Sonos controller apps. There are a number of setup notifications that continually reappear after I have dismissed them. Specifically:Add a voice assistant Try Sonos radioConnect surrounds to Bathroom Connect surrounds to GardenEach notification has a cross in the top right corner. If you select this the notification is dismissed. This gives you a feeling of control. However, some time later it reappears. These are effectively SPAM and I do not know what they are for. They appear on multiple devices.I have contacted Sonos support and they are unable (or unwilling) to fix this. I have owned 17 Sonos devices over 10 years and am now fed up with these annoyances. Does anybody know how to stop Sonos SPAM and regain at least the appearance of personal control over products that I have spent a lot of time and money on. I don’t like the feeling of Sonos ignoring my choices. It would be better if they just inserted a permanent advertising banner than give users t

I have had Sonos working using my old iPhone for 3 years.I recently upgraded the handset and have had nothing but issues with the Sonos connection.I have rebooted the router and reset the Sonos App many times.Sometimes it will eventually find my speakers only to drop them again the following day.I still have my old phone and it connects ok.IT is really getting on my nerves now - it seems nothing but issues!  

I’ve had this issue for over a year with my One SL.I recently added a Sonos Roam to my Sonos system and would like to try one more time for a solution.I started with a One SL (for the airplay 2 support, mainly) in hopes to send audio from my Apple TV to my Sonos and Vizio soundbar (connected directly to tv via optical audio) as a group. Along with reports from the rest of the sonos community using airplay, the sound is never synced.Maybe 1/50 times, the sound somehow syncs but that is extremely rare.I gave up on this months ago, but have just added a Sonos Roam to my setup and was hoping this issue had been fixed through some kind of software update, but it has not.I read that disabling the wifi on the One SL and using Ethernet, pairing the 2 Sonos speakers together via the sonos app rather than adding these speakers separately via airplay on the Apple TV, and changing with the audio output on my tv might resolve the sync issues. But, it. Did. Not.It would be nice to have some kind of

Hi all,I've been having issues to stream different music to different rooms with my Spotify account. At the beggining I thought it was because I started the music from voice control but now it happens whether I start streaming from the sonos app or from spotify connect. It just stop the music on the other room and indicates that the account is already on use. I have a spotify premium account and this was never an issue before. Any tips to solve it?? Thanks!

Anyone having issues with playing multiple playlists or songs from Spotify through the same Sonos system? Every time I have something going in one room and then try playing a different playlist or song in another room, it says “Playback stopped on <room>, your account is in use somewhere else.”   Is it just me?

I have a setup of one Sonos One grouped with two older Play:1s to form an AirPlay group.Until recently when I used this AirPlay group on my Apple TV, iPhone, … I could adjust the volume on the iOS side and the volume of the group changed.With a recent change (Sonos Update, iOS 14.5?, not sure) now only the volume of the Sonos One is changing leaving the other devices to be always out of sync / no longer controllable via Apple TV remote or Homekit automations.Has anyone else noticed this?

Every time I launch the Sonos app, some of my speakers are missing.  It is not a constant speaker, it seems its always a different one.  Should I reset the entire app?  And for a missing speaker, do all I have to do is click the pairing button?  This is beyond frustrating as my entire system is never listed in full.  There is always at least one speaker missing.

I’m trying to figure out why my Sonos speakers (2 x Play: 1, 2 x Beam, 1 x Symfonisk Bookshelf, 2 x Symfonisk Table Lamps, 1 x Move, 1 x Roam) keeps cutting off.  My router is an ASUS RT-N66U.  Could it be that I need to upgrade my router?  It’s always done a good job except for the music playback on my Sonos speakers recently.  I took a diagnostic.  Can someone take a look at it and point me in the right direction?  272111800 Thank you! Dan

Hi, I have my sonos in wall speakers (wired) connected to my sonos amp. Both in wall speakers and sonos amp are purchased brand new. My TV is connected to the amp thru the HDMI ARC port (its a Samsung). This has been working wonderfully for 6 weeks and tonight while watching a streaming svc (Hulu) an awful loud buzzing started from the left in wall speaker. It makes the show unviewable-- so loud! I disconnected everything and reconnected (hoping there was a loose connection)-- no luck. I can play music thru the sonos 1 app on the in wall speakers with no buzzing, so I know the speakers are okay… help! any advice would be appreciated!

sonos dropping out a recent issue after years of perfect operating, I don't have a managed switch either. 

my system comprises a sonos play 5 and two sonos plays. i bought a new sonos 1 last week to add to the system. when doing the new connection it asked me to update the app on my iphone. I did that ...result was it added S2 to replace S1 as the contoller on my phone. It DID NOT WARN OR  tell me that by doing that it would stop me using the sonos play 5 as part of the new system. It created a system with the two plays and the one but excluded the play 5 (I have now found out the play 5 has to be controlled by S1)I dont want to have my original  sonos plays and the 5 on a separate system and want to keep those as one main system and then ridiculous as it may now seem use the “new” sonos 1 on its own controlled by S”.. ..how do i go about downgrading the plays and reconnecting them back to my S1 controlled system IE use them with the sonos play 5 and the two sonos plays as a system controlled by S1 and then use the new sonos one on its own as a separate system on S2?I factory reset the two

Hi,I’ve been having an issue with my Sonos one that means I am unable to connect to it via airplay (or add it to the apple home app for that matter). basically I am unable to interact with it through anything other than the app or Alexa. I have a good reason to believe it is an issue with this Sonos, I've done all the usual (turn everything off and on, factory reset speaker and reset app), and nothing seems to let it work. There is another Sonos one (same model) on this network that I can airplay to quite happily, along with apple products such as TV which don’t complain at all. I was wondering if there was any solutions to force the speaker to start accepting airplay streams. I submitted a diagnostic after trying to airplay, the number is: 1494513105 Thanks

How can I stop this. Bought $6,000 worth of gear and not working properly.

Hello all - new to the community, and relatively new to Sonos, and I am looking for assistance. I have a group set-up in my living room consisting of a Playbase (connected by ethernet to a TP-Link powerline wifi adapter), a Sub (Gen 2) and two One SLs. All works perfectly with TV and streaming music Apple/Spotify etc) in standard resolution. I wish to stream hi-res music on this group - either Amazon HD or Quobuz - as I am impressed by the difference in audio clarity. I find that when I stream either of these services (through Sonos app), the first song plays, and then skips the last 8 seconds of the song and jumps to the next. Then, by the second or third song of the playlist, the music just comes through the Playbase (which has the ethernet connection) and the other speakers no longer play. If I skip back to the start of that particular track, then I get full surround again, but the whole problem happens again by the time of the next song.Having read a bit on the web and in this foru

On the sonos app, if I select Line in to play an LP on the Amp (as I usually do), nothing happens. The timer goes on forever. This happened all of a sudden ... any suggestions ?

Hi I have set up a split S1 & S2 Sonos instance , and have my old incompatible play 5 only on the S1 app however there appears to be a problem adding another controller app ……  from an extra device you cannot seem to detect the speaker on the second app …… it worked fine until a couple of weeks ago but i dont seem to be able to get it working now …..any clues ???

So this is a continuation from another issue that got resolved last week by disabling “Private address” but now whenever I leave home [and the wifi network] when I return home and auto connect to my home wifi I get “unable to connect to Sonos. Learn More” again. See below I have a Sonos Connect Amp that is connected wirelessly to our BT router in the next room [no bridges/extenders]. The router isn't new, been moved or any passwords changed; likewise for the amp. To play music I use an iPad fixed in one location [this iPad connects fine to the amp and can play music using the S1 app]. However, my iPhone X [running latest software] using S1 app has just suddenly, for no apparent reason, started saying “unable to connect to Sonos. Learn More”. I have tried my work iPhone as well in case it was just my personal mobile acting out but that won't connect either and I get the same message.I have tried:Resyncing the phone by pressing the mute and + button on the amp. Going to the app and conne

This seems to be a recurring problem and I haven’t seen any solutions that occurred in the past and somehow got resolved.   Anybody know what’s going on?

I could swear the pre-release marketing said you can play 2 Roam speakers simultaneously off one bluetooth device.Similarly I could swear I read that Roam will sling a bluetooth signal into the Sonos ecosystem.I haven't been able to accomplish either of these features.Have I been misled?If so I might return one of my Roams. Having 2 Roams playing at an outdoor party was a huge selling point for me.I have found that a single Roam speaker just isn't enough to fill an outdoor area. 

After two years my alarm has stopped working.I’m used to the no internet connection ie SONOS chimes and the issue when the plug gets pulled on TUNEin providers due to SONY court action etc. But now, the alarms simply doesn’t function any more.I’ve created a new alarm - no change.Deleted old alarm and created a new one - no change. Any  thoughts as I enjoy starting the day with music/news etc.
