Issue with Symfonisk and Homepod using Airplay 2

Hi everyone, We are currently experiencing an issue when airplaying from HomePod to Symfonisk, which makes us think that the Symfonisk speakers do not have the Airplay 2 functionality implemented correctly. Room Setup: R1: HomePod R2: SymfoniskR3: Homepod + Symfonisk If we Airplay Apple Music on the HomePod (R3) to all of the speakers, then it says in the Sonos app within Now Playing that we’re playing music on all of the Symfonisk speakers and the music is playing properly. However, if we then stop the music and start airplaying another song from HomePod (R1) to Symfonisk (R2), then the music will not be playing on Symfonisk (R2) and inside the Sonos app both of the Symfonisk speakers now still show as grouped and playing the content that was originally started in R3.  It’s like Symfonisk (R2) do not know that it’s not part of the initial music group anymore. Anyone who know how to fix this issue?  Please note that we already tried resetting all of the speakers, local network, Sonos a

Sonos One won't finish setting up

I have two Sonos One speakers that I was able to set up several years ago when I bought them. I don’t use them a lot, and eventually they lost connection to my system and wouldn’t work correctly, so I am trying to set them up again.I tried a factory reset and the Sonos App (the latest) was able to recognize it and add it to my Wifi network. Then it says that it might not show up in the System list and I may need to restart the speaker, which I did. After plugging it back in, it’ll appear to boot up normally and get to the white status indicator, but the Sonos App still won’t recognize it. If I push any of the buttons on the speaker, the light flashes red a few times and then goes back to white.I’ve tried this process several times and always get the same results. I’ve also tried plugging in Ethernet and that doesn’t help. The same problem happens with both speakers.These One speakers have always been a bit flaky. Is there a sure-fire way to get them configured?

Various (streaming) music sources have stopped playing; any ideas why?

Hi -I have several (streaming audio station) music sources configured on my system (via the Sonos app, of course) that in the past played just fine.Now, they do not.In particular, I listened to Dogglounge and Balearic FM; both were available & set up via the TuneIn music source (which also made them findable in the Sonos Radio section).I can’t tell you exactly when it stopped working; it has likely been a month or 3. Today when I try to play either via TuneIn, I get repeated pre-stream ads from TuneIn - as if this is a fallback when it can’t start the stream.I’ve tried unsuccessfully using other (valid Sonos) music sources - e.g. I can find Balearic FM on the myTuner music source; if I try to start it there, the Play icon changes to the triangle/play for a moment, but then switches back to the square stop icon (and no audio plays).I know the stations play just fine via TuneIn & other apps; I can start the TuneIn app (or Radio.net, or myTuner) directly on my iPhone, start the st

All my Sonoses cuts from Airplay when I pause

I have three Sonos SL and one Roam. I connect via AirPlay on either iPhone or iPad. Whatever I play on the iOS devices cuts whenever I hit pause.Few more details:If I immediately hit play again it starts without significant delay, but if the stream is paused for more than maybe 10-20 seconds it cuts. Cut is maybe the wrong word, because it starts streaming with a significant delay of 30-50 seconds. Example: I listen to a song on Spotify and hit pause at 2:00 into the song. I press pause and then press play after 30 seconds. The song will then start play on my iOS device, but audio will come from the Sonos speakers at somewhere between 2:30 or 2:50. Same with Audible or any other app. Current solution: Press AirPlay Ivón in command center if iOS, connect to internal speakers and then reconnect to one or several Sonos speakers.Quite annoying!

Symfonisk Not Connecting to Wi-Fi

Hi folks, After 3 hours of battling and troubleshooting, I felt I had to come here and seek advice! 😀 I have a Sonos Beam Gen. 2 for my TV, and I just bought 2x Sonos Symfonisk Bookshelf speakers to use as surround sound speakers. However, I have spent 3 hours trying to get them to connect and register on my network....here's what happens:- The Sonos app recognises the speaker when it's first turned on, or if I factory reset it- I connect to the speaker, and scan my phone as indicated, which works fine- After connecting to the speaker, the app then tells me that it's connecting the speaker to my WiFi network. This process takes at least 3-4 minutes (which already seems suspicious), but eventually says that's it's successfully, but I may need to remove the power and reconnect it before it shows up in the "system" tab.- No matter what I try, the Symfonisk's never ever show up in the Sonos app after I install them! And here's what I've tried so far: - Unplugged each speaker and plugged t

Songs skip when played from synology NAS

I have two play 3’s set up as a stereo pair in my office. I’m getting constant song skipping when playing files from my sinology NAS. I have a Move in my office which doesn’t seem to be effected. Both 3’s are hard wired. I get error messages in the app saying a song can’t be played or is incorrectly encoded. I have created a support diagnostics = 378399938.I have a play 5 in the house. As a test I moved it to my office & hard wired it to the office switch. It seemed to work fine. Could it be the Play 3’s being older can’t cope?

Does My Mum need a Boost?

I’ve just been staying at my mum’s for a few days, she has a Sonos system comprising of an Arc, Amp, One, One SL (and a Move & Roam).Currently running a completely wireless set up.It just doesn’t work that well, frequent drop outs and speakers disappearing etc. Having moved the 2 Ones yesterday plugging them back in their normal locations this morning one of them wouldn’t reconnect.I think the ideal would be to cable the Arc or the Amp but this would need a hole drilling through the wall and I’m limited to how much time I can really spend there sorting it.Will a Boost do the same as wiring a speaker and automatically switch everything (apart from Roam & Move) over to SonosNet? And if I send her one in the post is it just a case of plugging it in and adding it to the system in the same way as a speaker? In contrast my system, with more speakers but the majority of them wired, just works pretty much flawlessly. cheers for any input 🙂

Speaker Set Up Always Cuts Out at Our Restaurant

Our restaurant has two Sonos 5 in stereo mode with a Sub, and then 2 separate Sonos 1. We constantly have problems with speakers dropping out and dont know how to fix?We have a Sonos BOOST. We also use a Sonos Connect to connect a digital music player. Toggling these or the speakers on and off doesnt seem to help.  Maybe its a Wifi issue? But I checked and every speaker is on the Boost network. Its maddening! Any advice much appreciated  Diagnostic: 362934694

Napster connection problem

On 6/15/22 between 7 and 10 pm I wasn’t able to connect to Napster either through browsing or showing any search results.  Tried unintalling and reinstalling with no impact.  All other music services seemed to be working fine. Apple almost always finds and appears in search results above Napster but occassionally Napster doesn’t appear to be working at all for a period of time.  This usually corrects itself.  This was rare that Napster wasn’t connecting for the entire evening which is why I tried the reinstallation.  Search of Napster & streaming on my phone was working fine during the same time period.  I actually thought that maybe Sonos had dropped Napster as a supported service but this doesn’t appear to be the case.

Not playing first 20 seconds of songs

After the latest update, my Sonos system will not play the first 20 seconds of random songs in a playlist.  And, no, they are not Sonos-created playlists; they are well-played custom playlists that never had this problem before the update.  And it’s not a problem with the songs themselves.  I can go back and start them over and they play fine.  Also, it does this regardless of the cross-fade setting.I submitted diagnostics, #1574392379.Thank you

Sonos playing every song in an apple music playlist twice

Sonos and Tidal continually get out of sync!

Every time I use the tidal application to synchronize with my Sonos system it constantly gets out of sync after some music. I then hear the music playing in the speaker of my smart phone. It is not a problem of wifi since all my sonos devices are connected with ethernet wires. In addition all my devices are 3rd generation Sonos. I never have a connection problem on any of my devices in the house, I never have an internet cut, I have an ultra-fast connection (400 mbps / s), I have a recent smart phone ( galaxy s20), I never have a synchronization problem with Tidal with any other device except with sonos. It started from day 1 (be since the purchase of sound systems in summer 2020). The Tidal app is up to date, my android phone is up to date, the sonos app is up to date. I contacted Tidal Tier 2 technical support and they told me that there is absolutely no problem on their side and that I should contact the Sonos team.

SirriusXM and Sonos continue to be a problem

I am beyond frustrated with this issue and its been on going from what I can se in the forums.  I tried everything from using Sonos support, deleting accounts and readding them.  I cant get Sirrius to be stable for the life of me.  I have gotten all the error messages and have dozens of screen shots.  For Example: Unable to play 60 Outlaw Country - the song is not encoded correctly  Sirrius XM unable to connectUnable to play Unsupported digital rights management system.I have Sirrius Platinum and my system is set up correctly given I can play Apple, Amazon, Pandora and all the other services.  And Sirrius use to work without an issue. I’ve called support a few months back and we changed the network channel.  I actually bought an updated router and have plenty of bandwidth.  It’s just not stable.  I see other have had this issue and it goes way back and I’ve tried everything on one answered thread that was supposed to fix the issue. Any ideas out there?  Thanks

Instead of changing speed, now that button will simply switch the turntable off. Its incredibly frustrating as I just bought a number of 45s.

Mobile intermittently loosing connection to Sonos

Morning all. Have a robust Sonos system that rarely presents a problem but I do have an ongoing problem with the Sonos app loosing the connection to the Sonos system when being used outside. Just to describe what we have ….. a number of devices on S2, all hard wired, all up to date and nearly all feeding in-ceiling speakers. There is also a small S1 system of 2-3 devices upstairs. Also hard wired. Also a Port feeding a large Pioneer AV amp to a 7.2 system outside speaker system …  Evid 6.2’s and B&W PV1 SW’s. Works really well. The wireless network is a Netgear Orbi system with 4 satellites. One in the kitchen and one hard wired in the shed to cover the garden.  The mobile is a Sony Xperia 1 III connected to wireless and signal seems very strong. But whilst it runs nicely 80% of the time, it then looses connection and no control of any devices is possible. I cannot say for sure but it seems unlikely the wireless signal would be the problem. The distance between each satellite is ma

Sonos system either is not found or takes a long time being found every time app is started.

I recently finally upgraded from S1 to S2, got rid of my Sonos Connect (Gen 1) and added a Sonos Roam.  Ever since then, I’ve had a heck of a time with the S2 apps.  Every time I start the app, whether it be Android, iPhone, or Windows Desktop, it will often fail in finding my system, or if it doesn’t fail, it will take about over 2 mins to finally find the system.  I never had this with my S1, so I’m not sure why these apps are having a hard time finding my system.  When it is found, then things are usually ok, until I stop using it and open the app again later on.  I’ve cold rebooted each player, and reset my router many times.  I can see all four Sonos speakers in my Router’s IP list and they are all on the same 2.4Ghz network.  I can’t figure why it does this and it’s super annoying knowing that I can’t use my Sonos for a while after starting one of the apps.  I have to hope that it will find the system and if not, keep relaunching it.  I’ve even uninstalled and reinstalled the app

why is the sonos/spotify link still so unreliable??

Keep dropping link to Spotify, speakers of older type won’t connect, but If grouped with newer speakers - move for instance - will work, but then drop the link again after varying playback times.  excellent broadband connection, strong Wi-Fi, all systems up to date come on Sonos, do better! great speakers, awful software.
