Components and Architectural

I have been forced to update my Sonos app but it keeps showing error code 800.  I have tried every way to reset it but it’s unsuccessful.  Now my S2 controller just can’t control my Sonos anymore.  Is there anything that I can do?  Can I simply reset the ownership of my system and re-set it up again?  I’m totally lost…….. Thanks.

Recently discovered this little snag:My mother has been recording books for our children using Voice Memos on her iPhone and emailing them to us. We’ve been playing them using AirPlay from our iPad, but wanted more flexibility so tried to a) Put them in our NAS-based SMB2 library and b) Play them from Android devices using the Sonos app (we use an iPad for FaceTime but both parents’ personal phones are Android).What we’ve found is that .m4a files produced by Voice Memos fail to play using the Sonos App, reporting “Unable to play ‘Title’ - the song is not encoded correctly.” This is true both playing from “On This Mobile Device” on Android or from the Music Library share.I’ve reproduced this with several test recordings on multiple iOS devices on iOS 15.x.Salient ffprobe output:ffprobe version 2022-06-30-git-03b2ed9a50-essentials_build-www.gyan.dev Copyright (c) 2007-2022 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 12.1.0 (Rev2, Built by MSYS2 project) configuration: --enable-gpl --enable-ve

Diagnostic code 906861728Getting really sick of this issue.  SiriusXM channels play for 15 seconds and then error out.  Today’s message is Unable to play - it is encoded using an unsupported digital rights management system. 15 Sonos speakers in my house..thousands of dollars...and I can’t play music.

I have 3 old Play1 and 1 new, and a Play 5. All worked this morning, now the only one that can connect to app is the new Play 1. I have turned them all off and on, reset App, and still nothing. I fear this is due to app updating on 14thJune, and concerned all are goosed. Any suggestions?

See image below. From within the Idagio app my Port’s do appear in the “connect to” section of the Idagio app (IOS), but the app does not want to connect to them. In the image “Bar” is one of my Port’s. If I click on it, nothing happens. Seems like it wants to connect, but returns to playing on the Ipad.I can however connect via Airplay, but that is not what I want.I have authorized etc.Any help? 

Very often, my Sonos will turn its volume up to 100 by itself. Even if I turn it down, it ramps up to 100 over and over. I am using the Spotify integration on iOS. However, I’m changing the volume using the Sonos app directly.My phone volume is NOT at 100.Also, after it turns itself up to 100, if I pause it, it usually insists on starting to play again. I have to pause it two or three times total.I saw a thread that this was fixed on Android years ago, but it keeps happening on iOS.It’s not just an inconvenience—I’m listening to music with my one-year-old baby and it terrifies him to the point that he screams and cries. One time he was so close to the speaker when it happened, I was worried it would cause him hearing damage.

For the past 5 or so minutes the Office system has been horribly cutting in and out.  One of the Ones will play for a second or so, then the other.  Then the Sub.  Not once did the Roam cut out.  How is “interference”  only affecting the Office system?  989024897  Frustrating.  It makes it very hard to demo a system to a potential client when the system does not work.

I have an old ZP80 system that I use strictly for playing music from a vast catalog of music and podcasts that keep on my NAS.   So it’s all inside my personal network.   I don’t route any streaming or outside services, e.g., Spotify, Apple, Google, etc, through my Sonos system.   No do I have any accounts with those companies.So was surprised the other day when my GF, who has Google and Spotify at her house, but not Sonos, was at my house and was able to play music from Spotify over my Sonos system.   I called Sonos support and they said that Sonos exposes an API called Direct Control to 3rd party services such as Spotify, so all she needs is her Spotify app on her phone to play music through my Sonos system.  How do I disable that feature on Sonos?   I don’t want Spotify to have access to my Sonos system, or to be able to route content through my network or gain marketing information by knowing that content was routed through my network.   I want to keep my Sonos system tightly butto

Help,This is so annoying and it never used to happen. I have had Sonos Speakers in every room since 2018 and no problem until recently. The first alarm is set for 5am weekdays to play LBC on Tunein. The second one is set for 7am weekends to play Classic FM on Tunein. The problem is totally Random, some days it happens and others it doesn't. I had a 46 minute one to one with Sonos on Wednesday 18th May and the alarms worked for 3 days until the problem started reoccurring, again randomly. The case number is 03899693. 

My Sonos App will no longer play Sirius XM's Channel 13 (Pitbull Globalization). It says no longer available, but I listen everyday in my vehicles. I've removed my XM account and logged in again. Same message. Anyone else? 

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

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? 

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

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!

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

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?

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 🙂

Is it true that SONOS are going to stop supporting the colour black so therefore I will have to scrap my black Sonos equipment to purchase other colours? Hopefully the generous off of 30% off will apply 

I have a SONOS Connect v2, working well on my S2 system.  Is it possible to select the line-in which I have connected to a turntable?  I do not see (or can’t find) the option to select ‘line-in’ on the iOS app. Thanks

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

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.

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

My Sonos system has just started playing every song in Apple Music playlists twice before moving to the next song when I’m shuffle mode. I updated my system yesterday to version 14.8 (build 68329170), not sure if this is what caused the issue.

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.
