Components and Architectural

I’ve set the volume limit relatively low on a Sonos Move (20%), because of a toddler that thinks the only way to listen to music is turned all the way up.This is great and fantastic, until I go to put the speaker in sleep mode. It seems to look at the current volume level, think, “ah yes, 100%”, and then blasts its little sleep chime with all its  force, usually startling us.Is there a way to make the system chimes respect the volume limit?

My sonos speakers are often not available on airplay options even though my wifi is working fine.  I can’t see them in my Pandora app nor in my Sonos app.  I can see other airplay devices like my Apple TV but the sonos speakers won’t connect. Rebooting my iPhone X seems to help but not always. Sometimes when I reboot my phone the sonos speakers will then be available in my airplay options. Any tips to help them stay connected?  I have an Xfinity modem with the wifi turned off. I port the Xfinity modem into a Linksys Velop system with 3 nodes placed around my home. 

Regardless of the service (Spotify or Amazon Music), I find that music will play for no more than 5 seconds, and then cut out.My router is an Eero.I have a Beam/Sub/(2)Play One SL in the master bedroom, and a Play:5 Gen 2 in the adjoining master bath.I love Sonos when it works, and would like to add it throughout my home; however, it’s hard to justify the cost when it doesn’t always work.Sometimes, the surround system in the master bedroom doesn’t show up in the app at all, and the only way I can get music to play is through Airplay in the Spotify app, and this cuts out sometimes, as well.The main Eero station is connected to my router in the master bedroom, so I don’t think range is an issue?Please help!Thanks~-I3

Hi allSuddenly my Play 1 has no bass. The sound is very low and trebble-ish. I have tried TruePlay again (which does not work as it stops during the process due to background noise no matter what I do) and resetting. Also the sound does not seem to change at all when changing the bass on the EQ.  Anyone know what to do? Diagnostics sent: 277873147Mikkel

Hi all. Yesterday I unplugged my Bridge from the power strip and when I plugged it back in the system is now not available. I tried a different electrical outlet and still no go. I don’t see any activity lights on the Ethernet ports or on top of the bridge. Is it dead?I’ve also read that a bridge is no longer needed? What is required to do that?Thanks in advance for any help.  Ed

I have several Sonos AMPs that work perfectly fine on several TVs.   But this one TV is driving me crazy!   I have all the TV settings correct (or at least match my other working setups in the house).   It’s a slightly older Samsung TV (2015-2106), so that might be part of the problem, but when I turn the TV on there is no sound.   I have to go into the Sonos app and manually tell that room to play TV and then it works fine.   Why do I have to manually select TV inside the Sonos app to make it work?  While it technically works, I can’t require guests and other family members go to an app to get sound.  Is it just an old TV with a less advanced version of ARC that isn’t auto detecting and sending?

Hi, I am hoping you can help me. I have tried searching but cannot find any reference to this on Google or the sonos community (apologies if I have missed something!!). I keep getting a recorded message when listening to BBC radio saying I will no longer be able to listen from 22/23 March. I listen using Sonos radio. Are other people getting this? And is there a solution, I listen to BBC radio a lot and need this feature on Sonos or a major part of my listening is no longer possible. Thanks, Andrew 

Hi,I’ve recently bought a Linksys mesh system using an MX5300 node connected to my modem and two further nodes connected to the MX5300. I also have a Sonos Move and Play 3 and Play 5 (Gen 1).These all got along fine until I installed the mesh system. After spending all day trying to set up I now have the Move working through the Sonos 2 app although Alexa acknowledges but won’t play radio stations. At various times the Play 3 and 5 have been recognised but now aren’t.I realise this is something to do with the various wifi networks/settings and not helped by the Play 5 being Gen 1 but seeing as they all worked together before I can’t see why I cannot get them to work now. The Sonos 1 app says to set up a separate system but whenever I reset it to try to use Sonos1 it just goes back to saying the app needs to be updated to Sonos 2.I also realise Sonos only works on 2.4Ghz. I can’t connect either 3 or 5 directly to the Mx5300. All help appreciated.

Hi all,I’m facing the issue described in the object just after the latest Android app update.Is there a way to fix it?Thank you

HiI originally purchased a playbar and sonos 1 and they have been great and I can pair them no issue. I then recently added a sonos gen 3 sub and I am getting a error in the sonos 2 app in the system info saying...."Your wireless network will not support the use of a sub or surrounds with your playbar". All devices have a solid white light on them and in the app is says the playbar and in brackets sub for the room setup.I have a BT Internet. Anyone know how you fix this please, before I look to send the sub back.

Hi,Ive started getting issues today where my Sonos Playbase is dropping out of sound for about 30 seconds before starting again.  I have restarted Wi-fi and have the Playbase wired to my router but still getting these dropouts. The Playbase has a white light flashing while the sound drops out.  I’ve also noticed when I change channel on Sky the sound drops and when I pause and start again the sound drops and white light starts flashing.  I’ve also noticed if I unplug the Playbase from the router my app can’t find it, it only displays in app when hard wired. No idea what’s going on, I’ve submitted a diagnostic report 40417093, please could someone take a look? Many thanks

I have a Sonos One attached to a Boost (which is plugged into a Netgear Orbi receiver). This has worked fine until today. Today, music started to play but then it stopped. The app said music was playing but there was no sound.I did factory resets but when I went to search for new devices, it found none. Deleting and reinstalling the app doesn’t help. I guess these devices are still associated with my account. Any suggestions?

I have had and loved my Sonos One pair for more than 2 years now, but They’ve developed a problem over the last day. When I AirPlay to the pair, the right speaker quits playing music. When I disconnect AirPlay and play music through the Sonos app, the behavior persists. This appears to be semi-permanent, as the only way to fix it is to unpair the speakers and repair them. I use AirPlay on a regular basis, and it would be a shame to lose this functionality. Any help would be appreciated.(Side note: the left speaker is a Gen 2 Sonos One, and is the only speaker that plays. The right speaker is an original Gen 1 Sonos One)

I have recently moved house and setup my system the same as I had it before but now I have a delay and poor sound quality. I have a record player going into a preamp going into a play 5 through the line-in port.Now I have about a 1 second delay and after about 5 seconds of the record playing the sound quality drops and goes a strange bass distorted quality. When I play through the play 5 without the record player there is not a problem with the sound quality. The only other thing I done was update the play 5 when a setup the system in the new house. 

I used my Sonos one speakers no problem last week. This week my speakers won’t show up to connect to the app. I have restarted my wireless on my ipad, I have checked that the updated privacy issues is fixed, and I have restarted my router. What else can I do. The last time I had this issue it was like 6 months until the rando problem between Spotify and Sonos was corrected. I’m not a happy camper.

I have a Beam and 2 Play1s. The beam is using the HDMI-ARC input for sound.The ‘About My System’ shows the beam audio in as dolby digital 5.1. The 2 plays are listed as living room RS and LS.There is no sound from the surrounds. Streaming music or PCM2.0 plays fine through all three speakers.I just updated the app from S1 to S2 while trying to fix the problemThanksThe diagnostic number is: 1286756907

Is there someone who can look at my diagnostic log and let me know why my radio station would not play?The log number is 1124229380.  My alarm is set with the “Office” play 3 as “main” device for the alarm. This SONOS device is connected via ethernet to the system. The rest of the system is connected via SONOS Net.This morning the alarm was set for 7 AM. At 7 AM I got the SONOS chimes and not my set radio station. I went to the S2 controller and tried to start the radio station and it would not start. I pulled the diagnostics at that time.I recently replaced my router, and while things were reset fine and things have been working, I am wondering if I have an underlying issue that is only now rearing its head. 

Hi!My controller connects to the wifi repeater (live in a large house) and the ability to control the system disappears as the Sonos system is connected to the ”unrepeated” wifi.I have not experienced this problem before, but just recently.Does anyone know a solution to this?

I keep having issue with the app not connecting to the move or beam...internet signal is fine

Hi all, first post so go easy.Got a strange one with my Beam connected to 2021 LG CX tv via HDMI arc , Setup goes fine and all works ok until the TV gets powered off at the wall socket then I loose the sound completely from the tv, The tv is still set to output sound via the HDMI arc and the Beam will play/stream from other sources fine but refuses point blank to play tv sound. The only way to get it back is to do a full factory reset from the TV and all good again until you turn off the tv at the wall again, if i leave the tv in standby it’ll stay connected. Thought maybe something weird with the tv so tested the Beam with my 2017 Samsung 8000 series tv and yet again exactly the same problem, all ok until tv powered off at the wall! When this happens the Sonos app sees there is a problem and offers to fix it but can’t so any ideas greatly appreciated. For the record I have it set up via the optical output of the tv for now and that stays connected fine.

Hi guys. I have a Sonos one paired as stereo, and use them primarily as computer speakers connected via AirPlay. They function perfectly when used as smart speakers, but the airplay feature seems very shaky.When I come into the office in the morning it takes multiple attempts to get the Mac to find the speakers over AirPlay, usually resulting in the speakers not found pop up I have seen a lot on these pages. Its almost like after a period of inactivity they go into some kind of sleep mode that they cannot be forced awake from. After a few attempts, the speakers will pop up in the sound section of the menu bar and then they work fine...until they seemingly go to sleep again when the mac is inactive i.e lunchtime. Then the same process has to be repeated until I can get them working.All the while, the Sonos Controller can connect to Radio stations in the app absolutely fine, so the speakers are connected to the router with no issues. It seems to be the Airplay connectivity it struggles w

Seems to be an ongoing  issue,I’ve contacted support,they initially told me there was nothing they could do,after I complained they rebooted all of my units which solved the problem for a day.,however constantly rebooting is not a valid solution 

Encountering issues with certain podcasts that cut off suddenly and I cannot restart as I get "not coded correctly" error. Happened while using Stitcher... Got thru episode using Iheartradio, then, still using Iheartradio, following episode cut off. Can restart but not advance episode, same error, 2 different apps. Help?

Multicasting is on. Network is open for all traffic. Mac adress added and static IP set. Sub connects fine to wifi however the setup through iPhone fail during the last step. Unable to hardwire Sub. Please help.  

Sonos has been disliking pocket casts lately. Episodes have been randomly stopping, and now it is refusing to play episodes because they are “not encoded correctly”. This happens to different random podcasts and random times. Sometimes it will play half the episode, then say the episode is not encoded  correctly.Ideas?
