I use emojis in the name of the Sonos speakers to help my son, who cannot read, identify which speaker is which (mainly used via Airplay). However, whilst emojis are accepted in the app, and appear as expected in the speaker name, they periodically disappear and revert to non-emoji adorned names. Why?

I am having some connection issues with my Beam.It was working fine whilst watching SkyQ on my  Phillips Ambilight TV, I then switched to my Zidoo android box with no issues but on changing sources back to SkyQ again the Beam seems to be disconnected and “TV Speakers Active” notification.I have remedied this by power cycling but there must be a better way to adjust settings somewhere save me having to power cycle every time to get the connection setup again? 

Hey everyone, I just started noticing an issue this morning in my Sonos app and I’m wondering if anyone else is running into this issue. When I start a shuffle play, the album artwork displays and the playback time moves like normal. However, when it reaches the end of the track, the artwork will not update to the new song, and the playbar hangs at the end of the previous track. It’s as though the system moves on to the next track, but the new track information doesn’t get processed/come in to the app. Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.

I am connecting to a network and Sonos 2 that I don’t use that often. Coincidentally i did an iPhone security update last night. The Sonos system is working fine from my Mac, but the iPhone keeps saying that it is not connected to Wifi (the Sonos app says that). I have reset the Sonos app, restarted my phone, deleted the Sonos app and re-added it. Still no luck.Is anyone else having trouble with recent iphone updates? 

I have a five and an so one. I have an app on my iPhone and an app on my iPad. I can connect to both speakers through AirPlay most of the time. My problem is the app on the iPhone has the five added to it. The app on the iPad has the so one added to it but for some reason I can’t add my five to the iPad’s app and the sl one to the iPhone’s app. When I try to connect them it tells me to adjust my router settings. This can’t be the issue because both speakers are connected to the app just on different devices. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a remedy?

Hi I’m new here and the tv is coming through my Beam but not my Sonos one’s.I’m not technical at all and don’t know what to do.Also can’t seem to access the app on my phone.Any help really apreciated thank you 

My Sonos keep disconnecting from the WiFi My iPad and iPhone is on the WiFi but Sono speakers can’t be found  the only solution I found is rebooting  the router but it is getting very annoying having to do this all the time.1: why does my sono “leave” the WiFi?2: what is the permanent solution to fix this? thanks 

Dear allSince all messages on the topic I found were closed for further comments, I’m opening a new message. I’m using both Deezer and Qobuz and while streaming, lots of songs (not all) are cuts at the end.Looks like the system is pre-uploading the next song but then… cut current one… not so nice.I bought Sonos for the super practical side and sound quality and I bought a Qobuz subscription to enjoy high res sound. I sent a diagnostic: 1474760468 Thanks for your help. Regards C.

Over the last couple of days I’ve noticed the recently played list has stooped working most of the time. It randomly sometimes appears but usually either says that it’s not available right now or that their is no history to show. Everything else works fine and there are no network issues on any other device or software on the network. It’s a Sonos Amp. 

HelloI wonder if anyone can help ? I have a pair of Play One’s (gen2) and an old zp80 connect hooked up to a (budget) pre-amped audio technical turntable. I have set up the system using S1 due to the age of the connect, paired the One’s as a stereo pair and they are fine when playing any digital music.BUT only one speaker can be heard when playing vinyl, the other one is very quiet ? I am by no means an expert but I was hoping that vinyl would work on both speakers without too much fuss, the Sonos kit is brilliant but I can’t afford to shell out hundreds of pounds just for an occasional vinyl session.Any help would be very much appreciated Thanks 

Hi,One of my room system (master bedroom) is not showing up when I try to “cast to device” via airplay. However the room is available in the Sonos app but now showing up in the AirPlay interface. It was working before, and it suddenly missing.Diagnostic 1787442982

Hello,I have a four Sonos system - move, 2 one, and a sound bar. We have the wireless bridge hardwired to the router.  when I play a song, it’s telling me that the song can’t be added to the playlist (even though the song plays for a few seconds) and then that song stops and a random song starts to play everywhere.  not sure what’s going on, but I ran a diagnostic: 658950129Any Ideas? thanks!

So after updating to the new Controller - the connection to my Sonos system has become VERY unreliable. In all cases it is solved either by power cycling router or just waiting ages and keep trying.The router does drop out now and again - but even MS Teams can deal with glitches - so why is Sonos so bad at dealing with tiny blips in wifi ?Never happened on the old controller - seems like a windows vista moment for Sonos.

Just connected new Project turntable to amp with new cables it shipped with and sound quality is scratchy sounding and bad. Previously used a turntable with an older Sonos system and it sounded perfectly fine. Any suggestions? 

Hello Sonos Community. I am having an issue when playing music from Spotify. When I play music from Spotify on more than 4 units grouped together, the music will cut in/out between the speakers for about the first 30-45 seconds of the song. After the first 30-45 seconds then all the speakers will join in and play together in sync. When Spotify naturally goes to the next song the issue is not present, but if I select another song before the current song ends then the issue happens again. If I play from Spotify on 4 units or less then this issue doesn’t happen; when I select a song all 4 units will play immediately, or within the first few seconds. The issue is consistently happening when playing on more than 4 units. It also seems to only happen when playing from Spotify. If I play from my local library on my iPhone or from Soundcloud then the issue doesn’t happen. I have been working with Sonos support for about 2 months now with no luck, so I’m hoping maybe someone el

Since the push of S2 last year, I’ve moved all my Play 1 speakers to the S2 app.  I also have a Connect:Amp that is only used in the summer-time in our pool shed, and my plan was to have it on S1 by itself.My issue is that my S1 setup seems to be confused, and still has all the Play 1 speakers on it, despite them being upgraded to the S2 OS, and successfully connected to the S2 App.  It also has the Connect:Amp on the S1 App, so it is a blend of old and new, which is my problem.  The Play 1 speakers show as errors in the S1 App, and the App itself says its need to do an upgrade before it will allow me to remove any speakers.  However, because the Connect:Amp is in the S1 App, the upgrade always fails with an Error 9.  So I can’t remove any speakers from the S1 App, and I can’t upgrade it to remove any speakers. I have no problems with my S2 App setup - it is running fine with the Play 1 speakers all connected properly.  The only issue I have is with my S1 App.

Really disappointed with my pair of Moves. While the wifi connection sounds and works decent, the Bluetooth mode is horrible. It invariably disconnects from Bluetooth on both my Note 10+ and S8. Bad enough that there's no stereo pairing but not maintaining a bluetooth connection is embarrassing. 

Got a Pro-ject turntable so bought the Port for it. Then was told to get a Pre-Amp which I did. Now having the following issues if I want to play streaming like Spotify then I have to unplug the connector to the Pre-Amp there‘a a buzzing sound when all is plugged in. It  if I turn the volume really high then the buzzing sound is drowned but still there. any suggestions of what might be wrong.  thanks 

I’m sure there’s a better way to technically title this question, but I’m not sure what it is… So if this has been answered before, I do apologize… I had no idea what to call it to properly search for it.I noticed today that some of the audio from certain songs (and it could be all songs, I don’t have the most sensitive ear for things to tell--3 years in a rock band will do that to you) is missing. I don’t think an entire channel of audio is missing but I’m not sure. Here’s the best example I can give you:In this song, a weird cartoony voice says “Here we go!” after Mike Patton says “Here we go!” It happens around 3:37 in. https://youtu.be/apyj6H50QBU?t=212On my Sonos system, that weird voice is missing completely. Not faint in the background somewhere, it’s just solid gone. No trace. If you weren’t expecting to hear it, you’d never know it was missing.

i can play tidal on my sonos play 1 from sonos app but not from tidal app because it won't connect

I just switched from Spectrum internet to T-MOBILE home internet but can't get my Sonos One speakers connected back to the WiFi. Does Sonos One work with T-MOBILE wireless home internet service? When I do the setup, it recognizes my T-Mobile network but my Sonos system can't be added to the network. Thanks for any help. I would hate to go back to Spectrum after I've cut the cord completely. 

I have a Technics SL-1700MK2 turntable that is running to a Rolls VP29 Pre-amp to a Sonos Connect and then to a Sonos Beam.  When I first set it up, without the pre-amp, the sound was very quiet and I had to have the Sonos volume all the way up just to hear anything.  Then I added the pre-amp and it was fine.  But soemtime recently it developed the same problem.  I even sent the pre-amp back to Rolls under a warranty repalcement in case that was the issue.  They returned me a brand new one but it’s still very quiet.  If I turn the Sonos volume all the way up and sit right next to the speaker I can hear it, but that’s it.  Any ideas? 

I’m getting feedback/whine from my system whenever I play my music. I have a Reloop Turn 3 with built in PreAmp. I am connected by an RCA- Y cable to a  Sonos 5 G2 and a Sonos 1 via wifi. The feedback occurs even on the Sonos 1 in a separate room. It’s not a constant whine but intermittent.

Hello fam, Since two days Sonos doesn't show my Library music from YouTube , when i click on it its showing ( Unable to browse music ).I did the step with reauthorizer’s the app but didn't helped.Any idea's please how can i fix this problem ?Many thanks in advance,

Approx once per day (not yet investigated if this is at a constant time), the Playbar, which I invariably keep tuned to TuneIn Classic FM when switched off, unilaterally switches to select TV Audio. It started doing this about a week ago having steadfastly stayed on Classic FM for many months beforehand barring the occasional power cut or network reset when it reverted to “No music selected”. I am on auto-update, so assume this “feature” coincided with a firmware update. Two reasons this should not happen.  1) there is no optical feed to the playbar, 2) The App switch “TV Autoplay” is off. A different Room (comprising a pair of Play 1 and a Sub) has a similar set-up, and steadfastly remains on Classic FM. This playbar in years gone by featured in a full surround system, but now stands alone as a simple radio - turn it on with the power button and up pipes classic FM. Having to dive into the App for this every time now is infuriating. Is this a known bug - and/or is the
