Components and Architectural

I am running a Gen-1 system comprising two Connect ZP90's, a Connect Amp ZP120 and a ZoneBridge BR100. Intermittently, the two ZP90's keep dropping off of the (Sonos) system.  Checking my router web page, all components show up as connected and are assigned MAC addresses, even when NOT showing up on the Sonos app. One will disappear to be replaced by the other, before swapping again and (sometimes) temporarily all components will reappear on the system for a short time before disappearing again. This despite one of the ZP90's being hardwired to the router via a NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS108). Restarting the router seems to help temporarily, but isn’t providing a long term fix. Also, frequently, when trying to play a radio station on one of the ZP90's, I get a message saying "Cannot connect to Sonos Product"   I have sent diagnostics and the confirmation number is: 1656924348. Can  anybody help please? THANK YOU.

I have 5 speakers One / Sub and play 5. My system is conected with wi fi Cable to One of the speakers and all speakers run at separate chanel in network. the trouble i have is when changing track via Sonos App or even Spotify AirPlay the speakers dont sync.it takes 3-4 secends to all speakers play in sync again Why //  

The 2 Play:1 units and my Play:5 are constantly dropping out or cutting in and out. The wifi seems fine. I’ve submitted a diagnostics check: 1878567193can this be checked out by a Sonos representative?

I have two Sonos Ones stereo paired and have connected to my Apple TV (running tvOS 15.2) and when I select the Audio output to Living Room (my stereo pair Sonos Ones) I only get sound out of my right speaker.  The left speaker is completely silent.  This is not an issue when listening to music via the stereo pair on the So is app, just when using Airplay on the Apple TV.  I changed the Apple TV format to Stereo but that didn’t work as well. Wondering if there is a 

I have a sonos arc connected with hdmi arc to my tv. If I get a connect amp and use it with my (non Sonos) ceiling speakers connected through an optical cable to my tv will it work?

One of my speakers ended up (Sonos one) in a bathtub of water for less than a minute.  I hit it with the blow dryer. It seems to be fine, but should I soak it in rice? Any other advice?

Hey,I have a pair of Ones on my wall using the official Ones wall mount. I’m moving and need to take down the mounts, but can’t get them to budge!Is there some trick or knack to removing the mounts?

HiI have just replaced my Connect (v1) with at Port…I have a setup with port in one end and 2 B&O active speaker in the other using the Line-entence.I have a 10m cabel in between (and this is the issue)When the POrt is not active, the speakers make a constant buzz and never power down.There are a constant noice from the speaker…If I replace the 10m cabel, with a 0,5m cabel  → no problems… My Clever friends talks about, the 10 cabal acts as an antenna, when not in use and thisis the reason for the constant buzz…When I used the Old Connect, it was not a problem.What Can I do??  

Hello:I have a Beomaster 7000 with a phono, CD and tape. I purchased a 7 pin DIN with two RCA jacks to connect to my SONOS connect.I want to play the system to the line in on the SONOS. It will not play from any of the 7 pin connections. I got it to play from the headphone jack so I know the SONOS line in is working.  There was another post that said to use the tape connection  I tried both tape 1 and 2 with no success.The line in/out jack doesn’t work either. Possibly because I have only line out, not back in. It appears it may need both to make the loop?Any help would be appreciated.    

I  have Windows 11; Tuneblade 1.8.0.0 and an original Sonos One.My goal is to use Tuneblade to stream to my stereo receiver and the Sonos One simultaneously. Tuneblade plays to my Denon stereo without a problem.The Tuneblade app does not automatically find my Sonos One.FWIW, I also tried Stream What You Hear 1.5 and it finds the Sonos One (but it will only stream to one device at a time).I tried setting up the Sonos One in Tuneblade manually. I know the IP address but not the Port number and frankly don’t know which Airplay Receiver to choose:Airport ExpressApple TV 1,2 3,4Speakers/HifiShairPoint.TIA, Brian

This topicHas sent me to the brink of throwing away my entire system, yet my “Troubleshooting” thread is marked as “Answered”.It clearly is not.Shouldn’t the OP be the only one who can mark it as such? (Did I somehow mark it as such? I’ve never felt this issue is resolved...)

I have a full home Sonance in-ceiling setup. 4 zones each using 1 Connect each. Recently one of those zones stopped functioning properly.The zone has 2 in-ceiling speakers. Max volume has always been limited to 85% so don’t see how it would be a “blown speaker” issue.When I turn the volume all the way up (so 100% of 85%) I can hear music playing very softly on both, almost like it’s at 2% volume.Every other zone is working fine. I disconnected/reconnected the power and outputs from the Connect but that didn’t solve anything.Not sure what to try next. Obviously with the system/speakers being in-ceiling its not going to be easy to follow wire terminations, so hoping it wouldn’t be that.

Hi everyone,I'm facing big problems with dolby surround recently - it seems to be connected to the 14.16 update. My livingroom setup contains a Sonos Amp with 2 Stereo speakers connected and 2 Play:1 as surround speakers. Since today (apparently the auto-update ran earlier this morning) the Dolby Surround output does not work anymore. Sound is only coming through the 2 analog stereo speakers in the front. In the past 5.1 sound was distributed correctly between all speakers (as in the setup there is no "center” the center channel is divided to the two fronts)I did a surround channel test using an XBOX Series X and could confirm that only the 2 front channels are working. When it is supposed to play the center, rear, or sub channel the speakers remain silent. This is only happening for Dolby Digital - the surround test for DTS is working as expected, all channels are active and the center channel is distributed to the two fronts.Additionally, the S2 App shows "Dolby Digital 2.0” as input

I disabled the WiFi on amp (since its plugged in ethernet) but when I do this the sub stops working on WiFi.Do both have to be either on WiFi or ethernet in order to work?

I have 4 Connects (plus a Roam) on my Sonos 2 system. They are connected to my Bose speakers in 4 rooms.The speakers in 3 rooms are working fine, but 1 room is not. It happens to be the large main room on my system, where there are several speakers which are controlled by Bose.All 4 Connects and the Roam show up in “about my Sonos system”.I realize this might be a Bose problem, but I have tried everything on my Bose remote without success, so I thought I would post here first.Thanks in advance for any help.

I have a 25 year old Cambridge Audio CD player plugged directly into a Sonos Five. Most CDs sound great, but some newer CDs sound distorted. How do I fix this? Do I need a new CD player? 

Please can someone help Virgin Radio keeps cutting in and out when trying to listen to it? Only recently started occurring but as it’s the only thing we listen to on Sonos quite frustrating. 

Hi, I have the optical feed stutter from my playbase. I’ve submitted diagnostics 1070387794 in case that helps. The stutter was particularly bad just before I pressed the submit diagnostics buttton. Then it was milder during the submit. It’s settled down again since and might be like this for a few hours until it randomly starts up again. I’ve replaced the optical cable without making any improvement. What else could be causing this? ThanksMark.  

Sonos Roam works without any issue, but after fully charging the other day has a steady blinking red light. It is annoying. Any idea how to stop?Thanks.

I have a very annoying ’problem’ with my Sonos speakers, that I’d previously spent ~£500 to remedy this ‘1st world problem’ by buying a 2 bay NAS with SSD’s.Unfortunately, I’ve had to RMA one of the SSDs so I’m back to relying on my NAS’ with mechanical drives for the time being … so re-encountering this lovely ‘feature’ that is just downright annoying.To explain and set the scene …I add a folder of music from the NAS, say a 12 track album, then play the album ...If the Sonos has to wait for the NAS to wake up, it’ll fails to play the first handful of songs, claiming can’t connect/lost connection and yet happily plays the rest of the album in the same folder on the same bloody NAS!!! Those ‘missing’ tracks are then completely unavailable to the Sonos now!You have to physically yank the power cable for this situation to remedy even when the NAS is fully awake, as the Sonos refuses to accept that the ‘missing’ songs are there/playable.I have 5x Play 5’s and 1x Play 3 set up in 3 ‘groups’

I have an arc soundbar, two, one sl rears, and a gen 3 sub. When Dolby Digital plus surround is available, I get an audio delay compared to video, i.e. lip sync issue. Slowing the audio will make it worse.  I am using a 2019 Samsung that only has HDMI ARC.  I’ve tried many settings on the tv with no success. Any ideas? Do I need a TV with eARC due to high data transmission requirements?

I need to use some of my speakers (x2 Play 5, Gen 1) on the S1 app and also have a Playbar on the same system - which i just use as a standalone speaker for a different room. However, I also have x2 Play 1 speakers and a Beam (gen 1) which I'm currently using on the S2 app.The problem is that when I open the S1 app to use with speakers in some of my rooms, I get an annoying popup telling me that I can use the S2 app with these speakers - but may first need to upgrade them to latest software (that seems to be wrong - they're incompatible). There is no way to close this popup screen and so I can't actually use my sound system. It's driving me crazy. Can anyone help with this? 

I am so over my Sonos system.  I’m very frustrated with what shouldn’t be so difficult to figure out.I got my Sonos Playbar, Sub and 2 speakers Jan of 2020.  Last year in September, I moved to a new place with new router, etc.  In my new house I setup a Ubiquiti UMD Pro with a switcher and 3 WPs attached to the switcher. When I go into my App, my account, system and services&voice are grayed out.  When I try to Select your Product and it searches for nearby products, I get nothing.  Devices are plugged in and on. When I select join nearby system it says “We can’t find a Sonos system on (wifi network name).  Did you make changes to your router or network settings.”  When I go through the process and try to find a system, it says Sonos not found.  Make sure you’re signed in and your mobile device is connected to the internet an don the same WiFI as Sonos. This is extremely frustrating and I can’t find a solution.

Hi ya, I didn’t disconnect my speakers from the old Wi-Fi, how do I set up the system in the new house??Probably very simple but I can’t work it out,Thanks for the help

I have a number of playlists created in Plex. Most I can play with Sonos, but the ALL MUSIC one throws an unable to add playlist error, as does a large music one I created
