Why does the Sonos iOS app often fail to connect? This has been a problem with both Sonos 1 and 2. Works for a few days then stops working. Same issue across different iPhones and iPads. All devices and speakers have full wifi signal. Only thing that fixes it is a full app reset which is a pain. What is the solution. Any response about rebooting routers or access points will be ignored. 10 years later, we’re well beyond basic trouble shooting of an unstable code base. What say you??

After updating to version 13.0 build 62186220,The 'My Sonos' page resets to top every 5-10 seconds and while doing so, in the 'Stations' segment, station description "studders"

Hello, I have a troublesome Connect Gen2 that somehow can’t stay connected to my network for more than a few minutes. It doesn’t matter if it’s connected via WiFi or Ethernet, it always ends up disconnecting. I can sometimes get it back by rebooting it, others I need to factory reset. All my other Sonos products have a rock solid connection via WiFi.I’ve browsed through different other topics but couldn’t find any solution that worked.Is it possible that the device is actually dead, even though still “very partially” working ? Here are a couple of red flags I noticed while troubleshooting:The factory reset is hit and miss. Usually have to try up to 5 or 6 times to get it to end on the green status led. Most other attempts just blink amber/white 3 or 4 times then turn solid or blinking white again. After it stops working, I often still see it listed in the app, but when browsing the “About my system” tab it only shows its name and no other network details like for my other functioning d

HiI have 4 Sonos system in my house.Play5 (gen2)2x OneArcSince purchasing the latest Play One, the Sonosnet seems unstable.It is the second time now that all systems leave the network and can’t connect to wifi, except for the newest Play One which stays on the network.All are fairly near the router as I live in a small condo.In fact, when I try to connect the dropped system to my WiFi, they successfully get the password prompt, but entering the correct password leads to an “error, cannot connect”.Here is the latest diagnostic report #: 1097299673Thank You

I have 4 Amps connected in a wired ethernet daisy chain, which are then connected to a 24-port GE switch, which is in turn connected to my router.  All four have static IP Addresses, appear in the router’s client list, and show up in “my system” as online when logged into sonos.com via a browser.  Wireless on all 4 is disabled.  However, each one at some point will disappear from the app. I can tell when it’s about to happen.  When attempting to start music via Spotify in a room, if it doesn’t start playing right away, it will hang there for a while, throwing the “selected song cannot be played at this time” error before finally disappearing altogether.  I can only have it rejoin the system by power cycling the affected Amp, which is not totally simple as they’re in a rack.  This has been happening since install 2 years ago and I’m losing hope that there will be a software fix. 

Hello,I have multiple sonos devices. All of them are placed on WM = 0 as my ARC is wired.All other devices (Sonos Play: 1, Sub, Sonos Ones, Sonos Play_5s) are all on WM = 0 apart from a single Sonos One. I have power cycled it, factory reset to no avail.If I factory reset and wire it, it will show up as WM = 0; however as soon as I unplug the ethernet cable out of the One it goes back to WM = 1.Diagnostic 1596752830Any ideias? you help is appreciatted!    

Hello,Added XM app to the Sonos app the other day and everything was playing fine. Tonight it stopped streaming and is giving the error:“There was a problem adding the SiriusXM account. A connection to SiriusXM could not be made.”The account being used is an All Access account. I have tried removing the XM app, resetting the controller, updating the login and additional streaming login passwords on the account site, but still having the issue. Thanks.

Hi ,trying to join press release from the email I received , logged my name but then just stops, anyone else having this problem 

I keep getting a message that I have to many playlist for the Sonos App.  I have deleted 200 playlist from my music server and still the message.  I went through the Sonos Music Library imported playlist and found three that do not exist on my music server a Mac MiniLibraryMusicPurchasedHow do I delete these from Sonos? I called Sonos support and he said it was an Apple issue, then hung up.  I am not impressed with support.

Hi,Because I could not solve this error code as instructed (Sonos support page),  I’ve decided to replace my router with a Videotron's router, my Internet provider. I also reinstalled the latest version on my devices Samsung phone - (new) Ipad air2 - Samsung tablet (Android 10). All my systems has the latest version of the software but the system keeps trying to update the app !? Result, almost all of the settings are still not available. Now, the router can't be the problem, all of my componants have been reset..... Any suggestions ? Thanks

Hello to all, today phone music library is not completely found. It was before. Additionally  the  Artist index is not in alphabetical order.Any clue? Kind regards, Arnaldo 

I bought a Port to play music from a Pro-Ject turntable to a couple of Sono One and a Subwoofer. The sound playing is so low you can barely hear it. what’s weird is there’s sound but it barely audible. Any suggestions?  tried switching cables. Resetting. And even did a couple of chants. Nothing seems to help. 

I’m currently unable to browse music via my ‘Favorite Tracks’ under Deezer within Sonos.  I also noticed that I’m unable to add tracks to queue from Deezer within Sonos.  I’ve tried this on both my phone and my wife's phone with the same results.  The issue appears to be unique to Deezer on Sonos. So far, I’ve reset the entire system and my router.  I’ve reset the app multiple times.  I’ve removed Deezer from Sonos and subsequently reauthorized it.  None of this has worked. Suggestions?

I have an Amp, Playbar and Play 5 in different rooms. I never updated to S2 as I didn’t want to use 2 different apps.  When I opened the Sonos App today, my amp is now gone. I can cast to it so I know it is still working, any thoughts as to why it disappeared from both my iphone app and desktop app?

Hi,I’m using a Sonos One and playing from my MacBook Pro (OS 11.2.1).When playing streamed music to my Sonos it keeps cutting out all the time. Has anyone experienced this and have they found a remedy?Thanks

Moved recently and now when pausing podcast through Sonos, it won’t allow me to resume but instead re-starts from beginning.  I assume this has something to do with my network, but can’t figure out the solution.  Any advice? 

Hello everyone and thanks for reading.I had a Symfonisk bookshelf and always had problem using it under wifi because my router can’t handle very well traffic from one band to another (I have the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz network separated and when I try to airplay from a device on 5Ghz network it won't work, but works better when the device is on the 2.4Ghz as the speaker). I managed to fix it by wiring the speaker to the router with the ethernet cable and everything works flawlessly. Now I’ve bought another Symfonisk speaker to be used in the kid’s room, and I want to add it to the SonosNet created by the first Symfonisk unit. I can see that the first speaker is on that network because in the About my system is reported as wm0.The problem is that when I try to add the second speaker it prompt me to add the wifi credential, and after the process is complete the speaker use that network instead of the SonosNet (in the about section is reported as wm1). I’ve tried several times, I’ve waited all ni

Hi there,I have a stereo pair of Play:5’s in the living room and one is making a strange tonal sound every so often.There isn’t an Alexa style device connected and it’s driving me mad.Any thoughts on how to fix it?

Help! We the cross fade set/enabled in Spotify and Sonos app separately. But when we try to play Spotify through Sonos there is a several second gap (goes quiet) between songs.  several weeks ago it was working fine and it just stopped. All our apps are updated. 

bonjour, Ma tv est une WEMOOVE TV équipée de la fonction ARC.La Beam est reliée à la TV par le cable HDMI Sonos.Lors de la configuration de la Beam, l’ARC n’est pas détécté.Sur la TV, la fonction HDMI CES est activée mais la fonction HDMI ARC ne “tient” pas : lorsque je sélectionne “marche”, elle revient automatiquement sur arrêt”.J’ai interrogé le constructeur de la TV qui me dit que le problème vient de la Beam et que d”après certains forums c’est une question d’actualisation de software de la Beam….Qu’en pensez vous ? des solutions ?Merci d’avance pour votre aide.

Here we go again  I have a number of Sono1 speakers. When we got them they allowed music via apple phone & iPads then they stopped that and we had to download google play and yes you probably already know that no longer works.So at this moment in time a have expensive radios as that’s all I can play. Besides always having my computer on is there another way I can play MY music which I have already bought.    

I have 10 Sonos ZP100s connected to 2008 Bose Lifestyle speakers. In readiness for upgrading to S2, I have bought an AMP to check it works with the Bose speakers. What happens (using S1) is that I can inititally get sound (good quality) but when the music stops playing, after 2 minutes there is a very loud hum.Are these speakers compatible with the AMP?ThanksPS the Bose speakers have 6 ‘code’ switches; all have to be in the UP position for Sonos to work - but then you get the hum, so it does not seem to be a matter of configuring those.

Until recently I could use my iPhone to watch a Youtube video and play the audio on my Sonos One Now the Sonos One does not appear as a device to send sound to.Is there a workaround?Sonos say to use Youtube Music - this defeats the object as I want to watch a video.PS. I have a YouTube Premium account.

Hi,I’ve had some trouble with my IKEA Symfonisk from time to time. Yesterday we moved around some furniture and moved the Symfonisk as well. It got closer to the wired Port and the wireless One, which are the other Sonos players in the household.  Since the move yesterday the Symfonisk has been totally useless, loosing the connection when playing music. The network matrix does show better numbers than before though. I tried switching to channel 6 (from 1), but the network matrix showed that it wasn’t the right thing to do. I don’t know what to do and would like some assistance. Diagnostics ID is 1532057974.  Thanks,Johan

I have an Integra drx 3.2 receiver.  The “works with sonos” feature has stopped working.  It can no longer find my sonos connect or any sonos products for that matter on my network.  Sonos is otherwise working fine.  My receiver has the latest firmware update and is connected to my home network. Is anyone else having this problem?  Any solutions?
