Bonjour,Depuis ce matin, impossible d’accéder à mon Sonos play 5 gen 2, il n’est plus visible depuis l’application Sonos S2, impossible de lui faire lire de la musique, lors d’un appui long, celui-la ne se groupe pas avec un autre HP jouant de la musique.J’ai essayé de le redémarrer plusieurs fois, de le connecter en LAN, même de le réiniialiser et de l’ajouter dans mes appareils. Je peux l’ajouter parfaitement sans aucun problème, mais toujours pas visible dans l’application...

Having multiple issues with 5 x Ikea Sympfonisk SONOS speakers in my retail shop. We have: rebooted each speaker, router and PC, assigned permanent IP’s, tried to set up via Sonos net with a LAN connected speaker to router,   reset the controller,  reauthorised Spotify     Multiple times. Our internet speed averages over 20GB down, but often Sonos Controller isn’t able to pull music from Spotify, and the whole thing just stops. My iOS app also keeps trying to check if I’ve got the most recent update, and often hangs in this process. This all started after recently updating the Sonos Controller app (PC). Prior to this and in over 2 months operation it has been a dream and done exactly what it said on the tin.    I have had to permanently remove high mounted speakers from the wall and connect them to points on the ground where they are accessible to avoid my team having to drag a ladder out to reset these during trade.    As a small business owner, I simply do not have the time to spend

The S2 app recently started repeatedly crashing for me.  It crashes within a few seconds of start up and may only be doing it when playing from the phones music.  I had gotten around it yesterday by reinstalling after restarting and force stop didn't work. (Pixel 3 Android 11) Diagnostic codes 1411005335

Hi all!  Weirdest problem! I can’t play Wolf Alice - Blue Weekend on my Sonos Move. Just get the message can’t add songs to queue. I can play anything else on the Move from the same NAS.  Weirdly I can play Blue Weekend on my other Sonos devices. All on the same network! If I group the album to play on multiple devices it works on the move! Little bit baffled by this as never had this issue before. Any ideas? 

I have a fairly modest Sonos setup: two Five’s in a pair with a Sub in the living room, and two One’s in a pair in the bedroom. I started experiencing dropout issues when I added the Sub. What will happen is the right Five (it’s always the right) and the Sub will start playing at the beginning of a song and almost immediately drop out. They eventually come back after about ten seconds. The left side never drops out. This would only happen when playing from a service such as Qobuz or Amazon HD. I spoke with tech support and we came to the conclusion that a Boost would help remedy the issue. I received my Boost today, plugged it in, and now the issue happens much more frequently, and on every service (Spotify specifically, where it was not happening before). My network matrix shows all green, except for the Boost itself. What is most frustrating is that, as I stated previously, none of these issues were present before I purchased the Sub. This has made using Sonos almost a chore, and cau

I have 10 Sonos speakers in various rooms, 9 of which are usually played together as a group. (There’s also a Sonos Connect that connects to a receiver for wired speakers, but even when that’s turned off this problem persists, so I’ll ignore that.)Been using the system for several years and the same problems have been there the whole time. Just finally wanted to do something about it.Often, when I first start playing something (such as choosing a song from Apple Music on my phone), it will start playing on some speakers, then some speakers will cut out for a few moments, then return, and then everything is fine. Sometimes at some point it’ll just abruptly stop, perhaps hours later, but usually it’s fine. I set an alarm every night to turn on white noise for sleep. Sometimes after a few seconds the white noise cuts out, and instead it starts playing the Sonos standard alarm chime instead for some reason. That’s rare, but it happens.The app (whatever the latest one is, with the brownish/

Hi folks,Does anyone have any detail on how networking operates for surround devices? (in WM: 2 mode).I have a frustrating issue: - My pair of Play5 Gen 2’s work fine when configured as a stereo pair - If I then configure them as surrounds for my Arc + Sub, they work fine for a little while, and then later drop from the network - they show as ? in the app and they can’t be pinged on the network I have a multi-room Sonos setup where a number of devices are connected by ethernet (but SonosNet disabled) and the rest of devices are on my UniFi WiFi network. Everything has been working flawlessly… however when I decided to switch my Play 5’s from being their own independent “room” to being the surrounds for my Arc setup (without physically moving them) the problem I describe above started.I’ve completely rebooted my setup a number of times (including router, access points, all Sonos devices, etc.)… and initially I can get everything working but then (a few hours or the next day) the surroun

There have been numerous posts like this.  Usually, in the middle of the night or at the most inopportune time, my system starts playing music I never listen to at loud volumes.  There is no cat.  No one has access to my system but me.  There was an alarm set at this most recent time, but I never set it.  I usually deal with this but this whole thing is getting terribly frustrating.  I’m afraid of going to bed and having this happening.  I submitted a diagnostic: 766755487As I said, there was an alarm set, but to my knowledge no one has ever set it.

Hi, I've tried looking online for the answer to my question but had no luck. I'm hoping someone more technical can help me.I have a Sonos (5) which I've connected to the router by ethernet. I will eventually add other Sonos speakers which I believe will connect via WiFi and would mean the Sonos system will have its own WiFi network, thanks to the 5 being connected by ethernet.The issue I'm having is controlling the 5 via the app in the other side of the house. The WiFi is poor here. I have tried a WiFi extender but its sets up a separate network e.g network-EXT and the Sonos doesn't like this. It also keeps me on the -EXT connection despite me moving myself next to the router (despite the - EXT being a slower connection)How can I fix this please? I realise it's a WiFi issue. Would adding a new speaker in this part of the house allow me to control better on the app or will I need to be nearer the router? If I need to be nearer the router, meaning extending the signal, what's the best

I have used Sonos for years but have suddenly got this issue. I note that others have been told it is the WiFi network (classic tech company response) but my network is not a mesh and is rock solid for everything else and has not changed. Runs a single ssid via 1 routed and 4 access points all wired. Only reinstalling the app sorts the issue temporarily.  Apart from blaming my network is there any advice on how to fix this or is it just another example of why the s2 app is not fit for purpose?

Hello, I would like to create a sonos developer account in order to use the Control API. When I submit the account creation form I get a "something went wrong" screen. If I try to login with my email & password I get an error that says I need to confirm my email address. However I didn't receive any confirmation link. If I try to recreate my account I get an error that says the email address is already taken.  I tried to use another email address and the same thing has happened. How can I get a sonos developer account? Thank you,Simon Bergot

Thank you, and well done Sonos. I had an issue with my Playbase/Sub connection, which I thought was the Sub playing up - it would only work on a wired connection whilst my surrounds were still fine on SonosNet. Having tried all the reboot router/speakers etc options, and then trying wired/wireless combinations, I submitted a Diagnostic and got a reply from Support within a few hours. Turns out it was the Playbase wifi - nothing to do with the Sub - and very soon I received the paperwork to return the unit for a replacement.The replacement unit arrived today, less than a week after the faulty one was returned. It’s now powered up, updated, has got my Sub and Surrounds added, and is delivering 5.1 sound over SonosNet just like the old one. And it sounds so much better than sound through the TV speakers - my wife was even forced to admit it!  THANK YOU, SONOS. 

Hey a few weeks ago 3 speakers (out of my 7 speaker system) went missing from the app. I’ve tried reconnecting them multiple ways including “find missing product” and also rebooting them and trying to connect them as new devices. They missing devices are the older ones in the network, a play 5, play 3 and play 1. Others in the network are two Ones, a playbar and sub, and a turntable connected. When trying to add them back in, it tells me it can’t find them. If I go down the path of connecting them via a temp sonos network then connect to wifi it tells me my wifi password is wrong (it’s not). I’ve tried plugging in with a LAN cable too it still won’t work. Suspicious all 3 devices stopped working the same day. Pretty expensive paperweights! I’m still on S1 because of the 5 and connect used for the turntable.

Hi there. Im having lots of trouble with speakers dropping off my windows based S2 software, as well as lots of “Unable to connect” errors with Spotify. My diag code 1139617590. Any help to identify where the problem might be would be great

Hi Sonos Community,  I’m having intermittent audio drop issues with my Sonos Roam. This only occurs when I am listing to TV audio. All other devices do not have this problem. Here is my setup. I have a Sonos beam that is connected to my TV via HDMI optical cable. I group my Sonos Play1 and roam to the Sonos beam so i can get surround sound with my TV audio. My Play1 does not drop its audio. I am using a wireless setup. I’ve noticed that my Roam is connected to my 5ghz network and everything else is connected to 2.4. Would this cause my problem. I don’t know how to change the Wifi connection for my roam from 5 to 2.4? Additionally, when I group all three speakers to a music service like Spoitfy or XM these audio problems do not happen, only with TV audio.  I’ve read the “reduce wifi interference” article and I am unable to change my channel connection as the option is grayed out on my sonos app and through my network configurations. Do I have any other options? Thanks!John

I just purchased a Sonos Five to replace 2 sonos Ones in my living room. Since it’s an open space connected to the kitchen and dining room, I tought a Five would be more suited to better fill the room. Also, I didn’t have a good stereo placement for the Ones (they are now in my office). However and to my surprise, it seems that the Five sound is way less powerfull than my pair of Ones and is even less powefull than my Beam. As an example, when I play music on both the Five and the Beam (which are in the same room), the Beam sounds way louder, richer and seems to overtake the Five for audio quality. I have to turn up the Five volume at least twice as loud if I want to hear it over the Beam. Also, the bass seems almost non-existent. I cheked the settings and there is no volume limit. Is there an issue with my Sonos Five/something I’m doing wrong, or is the Five just not as powerfull as I expected? Thank you for your help!

The issue is the sonos app very rarely connects to my wifisince everything is done through the app, its very hard to troubleshoot or do anything with my sonos system.I have sonos beam and 3 x sonos 1’s, i have bought a roam but can’t get it setup because the app simply won’t work on the wifi.  I do have the sonos app on my pc that works fine.I have the same problem on both mine and my partners phone (apple and android) I have had sonos for 7 + years, and it is only recently when the s2 app was released did things stop working. I can sit near the wireless router and it won’t connect from my phone, other apps on the phone fine, sonos “can’t connect to wifi”All sonos devices are on wireless around the house and they workI have a peleton on wireless that streams video - no issueSo its not wireless signal or the strengthReading around the forums and this community this seems to be a common problem.  The articles of “restart your router” or “is the device powered on” are of little to no help

Hello. I’m an extreme end user and cannot find my specific answer here. Thanks for your help! I just got a Sonos Boost in hopes to solve my issue of dropping speakers. While listening to music using a couple of my Sonos devices, atleast one speaker drops out and returns every time. It happens over and over again. I have an Orbi with 2 satellites and each Sonos device would go to whichever satellite it liked even when it wasn’t the best connection. So the Boost was hopefully fixing that.I connected the Boost to my Orbi router (main device) and after a few minutes, all Sonos devices automatically connected to the Orbi router (main device) and not a satellite. All showed as a wired connection to the main unit which I assume is because they are going through the Boost which is in fact wired. Unfortunately, after 30 minutes or so, the speakers started to drop out again. I thought maybe I had the Boost too far away. It is upstairs where my router comes into the house. All Sonos devices are d

2 Move speakers will connect via WiFi to an iPhone but cannot raise volume very much.  I turn it up but it turns itself down.  This just started happening.  Recharged them overnight but problem continues. 

HiMy playbar is not powering up, no light. I have tried all the usual checks without success. Sonos advice is to buy another one!!! I have read of a number of similar concerns by others, and a few solutions costing vey little.  Any advise as to these repairs would be appreciated.  Thank you.

I'm experiencing audio skips (2-5 second drop-outs) using line in through my Five. It seems to be worse when multiple rooms are playing. I've read through quite a bit of threads here and have some ideas of what the issue could be. I can post a diagnostic later, but I won't be able to do that until tomorrow. Until then, I'd just like to get an idea of what the most likely culprits are given my situation.My setup:Room 1: 1x Five (downstairs)Room 2: 2x Ones in stereo with Sub linked (downstairs)Room 3: 1x One (upstairs)Room 4: 1x One (upstairs)Router is a reliable $250 Nighthawk and I have reliable gigabit internet. House is 3000 sq ft, but my Sonos products are in pretty good range of the router. The Sonos devices are all currently using my router's wireless network. My router is upstairs. The two downstairs rooms seem to be more reliable (I still get the problem though, but less frequently), but the reliability gets even worse when I start playing the upstairs and downstairs rooms toget

My Sonos Move stops playing after each chapter of my Audible books. Any suggestions?

Howdy,Currently, I have an Audio Technica AT-LP40WN turntable (with integrated pre-amp) connected to a couple of Fives set up as a stereo pair (all up-to-date. 13.1, S2, Build 63289050). I’ve had them since November and until about a week ago, they were flawless. Now, when I try to play a record, it no longer autoplays. I have to either select the input in the app, unplug the line-in connection at the speaker and plug it back in, or turn the whole turntable off to get the audio to play.Previously, I just had the needle drop and it started, regardless of whatever else I was streaming at the time. I have made no changes to the set up. I’m using the same connector cord, the turntable is set to line, I haven’t changed any hardware component, and the autoplay settings are the same (autoplay to the stereo pair only, no autoplay volume, source level 10, and low audio delay). Here’s a brief history of the issue:A couple weeks ago, again not correlated with any system changes because I had made
