My posts keep being deleted without answer.  Is this company just pretending there’s no problem when a quick visit to the Google Play Store shows you 1 star review after 1 star review of people saying Sonos products are now useless paperweights? Can I even get some help with my FOUR $200 SL One devices that don’t work at all?  The phone app simply forgets they exist and then it’s back to factory resets to add them again.  Again and again.  The app is unstable rendering Sonos products unusable. Will this post also be deleted before posting?

Evening all, was gifted a fairly new (but technically 2nd user) Amp a week or two back but what I thought would be the normal straightforward set up is proving be anything but.Device powers up, is connected on an RG45 to an older Amp Connect port.The app sometimes finds it but never completes the connection and comes back with an ! and ‘power down and try again’It does not always make a connection, it seems inconsistent. If you swap the RJ45 connection during the device search, it will flash up that ‘Sonos Amp’ found but does not complete the connection.On one ocassion, the app made a statement to the effect that there was network problem and was trying to connect direct from the mobile. That did not complete either.It is possible of course (not being out of the box new) that there is a hard fault or that a previous config is hampering progress.I wondered if there was a hard reset procedure that might clear any config question marks. or if there is a different testing procedure that mi

This week’s issue.I have lost the ability to play any internet radio, playlists, etc., on Sonos Radio, Amazon Music, radioPup, SiriusXM, or TuneIn.I can browse, but when I select, depending on the service, I get an “Unable to add music to the queue” message, an “Unable to play the selected item” message, or, in the case of Sonos Radio, nothing happens.I have unplugged all my speakers, rebooted the router, and rebooted the speakers.Diagnostic 1859730827

Why do I often get where I am u able to get a hold of someone for the 24/7 support? I'm calling right now and being told by a recording that it is after hours. There is no after hours with 24/7 support. Lol. I'm trying to get a warranty issue started before the item goes out of warranty.

I had this happen to me - others have complained about the same thing. I do not have Spotify so it is definitely a Sonos issue. It was very annoying that it started playing randomly at night, when my laptop was totally closed.

Hello, My Sonos Connect lost all of a sudden its sound, and only when I turn the Connect & the speaker both to max can I hear a very silent sound. I tried unplugging, rebooting, reseting the system, changing cables, different speakers - the problem remained. What can be the issue? Shall I just say goodbye to the item? :'( Thanks, Bence

I recently purchased a Sonos Ray soundbar and when i am in my conservatory where I have a Sonos 1 when i look at the app it always goes to the soundbar and on most occasions does not see the Sonos 1 until i use my phone to access the app - any suggestions?

Playing music, everything is fine, music suddenly stops, can’t connect. This happens about 3 times a month. There is nothing wrong with my wifi, speakers are all plugged in ok. The only way I can get things back is to dump my music and reload it. I have 20,000 songs so it takes forever. This is beyond annoying. If I had known I would have this much trouble I would have never bought $2000 worth of speakers. 

My house had existing Sonos in ceiling passive speakers. All connected to a Sonos Connect in the den.  I replaced the Connect with a Sonos port and used an existing amp/receiver. Sonos speaker left/right connected to the amp, line in to the amp from the Port. When I play Pandora thru the Sonos 2 app I get no sound at all.  I’m stumped. I was careful to mark left/right speaker cables hot & ground before connecting them to the amp. I did use crimp connectors to extend the length for connecting to the amp.  Seemed pretty straight forward but I’ve got nothing.  Thanks for your input/advice. 

I am having problems with the search field in the Sonos Android app S2. The problem is that when I type something into the search field, after a few characters the text gets selected, and than the next character that you type deletes the already inserted text. Hard to explain, but watch the inserted Youtube movie, where I am trying to search for Supertramp.  The problem occurs on all my devices: Samsung S22 Ultra, Oneplus 6, Oneplus 3, Motorola g7. Also my wife's Oneplus 8Pro, which uses my Sonos account. The problem does NOT occur on my iPad Air 4.So it would be safe to say that it is not device-dependant.  It is driving me crazy, it is impossible to search this way.What I have tried so far:new install of app empty cache of app empty data of app clean install (on my new S22 Ultra)  Different soft-keyboards, with all settings tried out (auto correct, autofill, spell-check). Hardware keyboard Voice command Deleting music servicesNothing helped, what can I try more?Is my account corrupt

No doubt We all need some SEO changes to rank and some features of Spotify we can handle, but we need only to feature it on Spotify as well.How it reflects the changes??? 

Light on my Sonos boost has been flashing green for around three weeks as of now, I know that it means its reset and ready to be connected. This system has been installed and registered on the S2 application, factory reset once or twice as well. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

I have 2 Sonos connects in 2 diff rooms. Worked for years without problem. Lately though it seems only one sonos at a time is recognized by the app. When I search for missing products it sometimes adds the one missing but then loses the other one.  So it seems the app only recognizes one sonos at a time now ? Help !  I have tried all the troubleshooting suggested and nothing works. 

Hi, I have my main router in my basement. I have a mesh system throughout the house as well. For some reason my Sonos devices pick and choose which router they want to connect to almost every day and very randomly. How can I stop this from happening? 

I have a surround set up in my living room (arc, sub 2x play 1) and ever since yesterday when I updated to 14.18, I’m having trouble with audio cutting out whilst watching on my Apple TV. It’s connected via LG C1 via eARC. Hasn’t happened before but I can replicate it on two YouTube short videos - it cuts out after 6-7 seconds (always at the same place) and then doesn’t return for the rest of the video.It’s not happening on my laptop/iPad etc so its certainly Sonos related. heres one of the videos:  Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct. 

I have what seems to be a really basic problem with the RCA output of my Port. Probably a simple soldering problem. Music don’t play on the left side. When I shake the cable/input, sometime it starts to work back and then sounds stop. At first it worked great for weeks before the problem come back, but it slowly kept doing it more and more.This seem a really really common problem and anyone familiar with usual analog amps and cables can figure this out. So I chat with Sonos guys and I spent 2 hours with them doing tests/sending pics that solved nothing. Now they want me to call them so they can continue their tests by phone so they can figure this is actually a simple soldering problem or something related to the physical port itself.They never f*****g bothered recognized it could be a simple soldering issue. All they want is to figure this out with more tests. with the RCA and they tested everything, but could not just aknowledge that it could just be a simple soldering issue. BTW, I

Hi there,I have 2x Play1 speakers, currently connected to and working on a WiFi network (WiFi disk).However, I want to connect the speakers direct to the router WiFi - a second trusted WiFi network.I have gone through the set up wizard many times via my Android Samsung smartphone. The S2 App does not manage to detect either of my Sonos speakers.I have tried a reboot of the speakers. And a reboot of the disk and router - just a switch on / off again. But no joy.Any suggestions before I consider a factory reset?Thanks

I'm getting low quality album art when playing music from Spotify using the Sonos interface (using the connected Spotify account)  But quality is fine when I use Spotify's interface to 'play on speaker' and select my Sonos.  This is driving me away from using the Sonos app.   

Our Sonos is connected to the TV via IR cable. When we turn on the sound to the whole system it starts cutting out and gets choppy. When it is just the sound bar there is no issue. Ive replaced the IR cable, reset the Sonos, and reset the actual soundbar. 

Hi,I'm trying to add a Sonos Boost to my existing environment.We currently have 3 Sonos Play:5 speakers connected to our local Wi-Fi network.I want the speakers to use the SonosNet Wi-Fi network instead of our local Wi-Fi.I added the Sonos Boost via network cable to our router.It boots up and after a minute it flashes green.In the Sonos (S2) App on my iPhone I click ‘add product’ but the app doesn’t find the Boost.The Play:5 speakers are already connected in the Sonos App.When I run a network scan of my network I can find the IP-address of the Boost so it should be connected.I'm trying to find out what i'm doing wrong.Any suggestions? Cheers

Hello. I sent a diagnostics in…here is my number 394392238. What is happening is that I can play TuneIn with no issues on my sonos system. When I try to play a playlist off Apple Music (or Amazon music) it will play on one speaker but not all or it will cut in and out on various speakers. Usually, it will play on one speaker and not the rest. Very frustrating!! 

I have read all the posts about compatibility issues between Sonos and T-Mobile Home Internet service.  The answers all involve complex restructuring of either a new router, changing channels, compatibility with 2.4 vs 5 Ghz signals and etc.  Given that this type of internet service provided by T-Mobile and now Verizon and soon AT&T is really a great value and performs well, I would like to know if Sonos has any plans to fix this incompatibility issue.  It is very annoying and lessens my commitment to the Sonos platform even though I have about $2500 worth of equipment. Please give me an answer.

Hi,I have 3 sonos symfonisk speakers, 2 in the living room where the router is, and 1 in the kitchen. I have never been able to connect to them using WiFi so I connected one of the speakers by ethernet cable to the router to create a sonosnet. The issue I am having is that several times per week when I try to use the sonos-app to play music, it can’t connect to the speakers. I have to physically disconnect the power and connect it and wait and then the app can connect. I also have playback issues where songs are skipped, stutters or stop being played for seconds.I had this for a year now and I have never had it working properly and I am very disappointed in these products.Does anyone have any idea what can be done or is this just a waste of money?

Back in May 2022 I attempted to buy online a “2 Room Sonos One Set”. I have a 30% Upgrade Discount on my account which I was trying to use.Logging on to my account the 30% discount is clearly shown:  , and the online pricing shows the 30% discount being shown i.e. £398 down to £278.60 = 30%… ...placing the item in my basket still shows the 30% discount pricing i.e. £278.60… ...going to checkout…...hey presto the pricing changes to only a 15% discount!!!! I raised this issue back in early May with Sonos support, sending them the above screenshots of my account and the correct 30% discount turning into the incorrect 15% at Checkout. Sonos support agreed that it was a website error, and that the issue would be fixed.Since then I’ve lost count of how many marketing emails I’ve received telling me that I have a 30% Upgrade Credit on my account, and how many emails I’ve had asking for feedback on how Sonos was performing.If only they spent as much effort fixing their online Shop... 6 months

Hello,I have used spotify with sonos for a long time now, but for some reason spotify cant play on all my speakers specifically my two Play 1. When i start a playlist it keeps skipping songs and says “unable to play song, connection lost”. Usually after 3-5 skipped songs it will start playing. Both speakers are wired, and have been working for a long time. I have rebooted the speakers. Re connected spotify to sonos app. Router reboot.Everything else seems to work just fine, all other speakers (Arc, Sub, Play5 and one/sl) are working perfectly.
