For years amazon music has worked fine without issue.Within the last few weeks it keeps failing raising an error message:Your Amazon account is missing required information.  Please go to music.amazon.com on a computer web browser and update your information.  It may take several minutes for your account information to update. Going to music.amazon.com doesn’t show anything thats an issue, the account is up to date and can play just fine through amazon. I can remove the amazon account from sonos, then re-add it, and music will work fine for a couple hours then fail again with the same error.  Having to do that repeatedly is a giant pain. Any help on how I can get back to this just working?

I love the product, but it sucks with a mesh WiFi. Any fix? Pretty sure nobody will see this anyway. Buy something else.

Hi there,I have been running a Sonos1 & Sonos2 system for the last couple years with the problem screen shot included in this post.The screen shot occurs occasionally (every 3-5 times) when I use the SONOS2 app. Disturbingly often when I just need to pause or reduce the voluneThe system is setup as I want it with 2 zones on 2x sonos1 connect amps , 4x sonos2 as i cant afford to upgrade my other amps at this stage.This  message on the screenshot is a bit confusing. Can you advise what I can do to stop this popping up? 

Hello since the downmixing with the latest update started working I encountered a new problem. When I put ps5 to AV amplifier and 5.1 it works just fine. But when I switch to my nvidia shield and back to ps5 there’s no sound. I have to put 7.1 for it to work again or restart the TV. I have eARC enabled in tv, passtrough and bitstream on hdmi. Its the same with my Xbox series X when using uncompressed 5.1 audio it works until I use my nvidia shield then the sound is goneAnyone else having the same problem or have any idea what I might do wrong (Also if I pull out the shield the sound comes back immediately)

Hi!My playbase is completely dead. After opening it up and remove the main board I could see two burned resistors. May be lightning damage?Does anyone have a repair guide so I can se what type of resistors to buy and try to replace?See attached pictures. Is there an internal fuse in the Playbase? I can’t find one but on some forums they refer to internal fuse.  Kid regards /Martin 

It’s happening again. Worked fine yesterday and now this morning I keep getting error messages about SiriusXM using an unsupported digital rights management system. Please help. 

I have one Sonos One standing in my kitchen. My parents are on vacation since about too weeks, but this night I was laying on our couch next to the living room watching tv and the box just started playing news about the current Ukraine situation. I thought the tv might have triggered it and tried telling it to shut up, but since it didn’t answer I checked and the mic was off all the time. I am alone at home so this was kind of scary, especially since I myself haven’t used this box for the last few days. This happened once before if I recall correctly but back then (it’s about 1-2 months ago) I didn’t give it any attention and thought my mom had done it (when telling her she left the news on later, she told me she didn’t turn on the box).Did this happen to anyone else before or does anyone know how/why this happens?

I have a jellyfin server running on my Linux box, which is serving as my DLNA server, for music,etc.I cannot find a way to get Sonos to see jellyfin.I have tried going into music library setup and adding\\moray.lan:8096\web\index.htmlNothing. I don’t see it in the jellyfin log, or in the firewall (ufw) log This server is available via browser, android jellyfin app, my Denon receiver, Roku, etcOnly Sonos fails.Years ago, I added the music files via a Samba server, using the ugly SMB protocol. It works sending info to Sonos. But I prefer to switch to DLNA. I spent 90 minutes on the phone with Sonos support, but didn’t get very far. They agreed to put in a request for DLNA support. They were not happy that I was using Linux, though they claim support for NAS. They suggested that I install Plex, which is available for Linux. It is a possible solution, but I want support for 19 year old DLNA protocol.I can use the android jellyfin app to broadcast music to Sonos, though it shows up as PCM 4

Recently my Connect:Amp stopped working.  The unit does not have the white light on and will not show in my system with the other Connect:Amps and Amps.  I unplugged the unit, waited about 30 seconds, and then plugged it back in.  The white light came on for about 3 seconds and then turned off.  It will not come back on even if I hold down the play button or a combination of the front buttons.  Please help.

my system is so buggy I can’t handle it.between the updates and the intermittent shut off mid play i’m ready to throw them out the window.  i’ve had my speakers for about 5 years, which is *almost* enough to justify the cost.Has anyone had any luck with fixing this?No it isn’t the wifi.Yes I’ve unplugged and re-plugged and set and re-set the speakers about 1000x since I got them.  Yes that usually works but it shouldn’t be necessary.  

Using randomizer playlists from Spotify. Sonos plays two tracks, then tries the third for 12-13 seconds, then displays a connection lost and moves on to the next track. Very consistent behaviour. Same for different playlists and same regardless of which phone I am using (both are Samsung Androids though)Super annoying. 

I have a Sonos Amp (and 3 others Sonos Play, One and Ikea Symphonic) at home. My Sonos Amp suddenly dissapear from the Apps after intermittent WiFi problems.I have tried the ethernet direct connection with the factory reset… still not working. The Sonos support is telling me that I can be eligible for the 30% discount for replacement of a older Sonos Amp… Anyone have a suggestion… I have serious concern about buying the “same” unreliable product… but I believe Sonos knows that I’m stuck since I have multiple products… therefore, there is no repair options…Any suggestion of worth tring options?

Diagnostic# 1654966345 Music keeps cutting out, terribly… Tried to reset entire setup incl router.Tried to change channelsTried with 1 wired, rest wireless.Can't really think of much more what would help...

2 rooms playing.  Living Room Port and Office with 2 Ones and a Sub.  Office will consistently drop.  Not always all speakers but a lot of the time it is.  I’m always told it’s interference in my network.  Decided to do some testing.  I brought my Roam into the Office.  It’s sitting about 3 feet from a One.  Ones and Sub still dropping.  Roam hasn't dropped yet.  Very frustrating.  2133647112

My issue is I have 13 products. Have had them grouped playing music “everywhere”.  Notice over past 2 days, 2-4 of my sonos moves rename to “guest room”. One of them is guest room, the others are kitchen, gym, living room. The names changing change each time. I fix it, it’s fine for a day, then an issue comes again. 🙏🏾 

Hi,Almost giving up on sonos - but when moving to a new place I have decided to give it a new try.I have a system with a total of 10 speakers in in different rooms, but sadly the system now feels close to useless as i cannot trust it to work, and it feels more convinient for me to listen to radio, music and podcast on headphones rather than than the system constantly dropping out, skipping songs etc.I have even bought a boost to see if that could help - sadly. No luck.Could anyone have a look into my diagnosis and see if there is anything i can do?I soo much miss the time when the system actually worked .. now its close to useless.My diagnosis number is: 648281180. 

I have a Playbar from another home where it was setup S2.   I cannot get it to work on Sonosnet in my other home which is S1. I have tried many things with no luck.   I was suspecting maybe a wifi radio issue but I had no problem testing that theory and the speaker successfully connected to a test wifi setup.   After factory reset, setup is fairly normal.  In S1, add product, speaker is detected with Mac  address but fails afterwards and says device not found.  No problem so I hardwire it and can complete the setup. But when it is unplugged from hardwire it drops off and is no longer visible in app.   The Playbar worked perfectly in other home as a S2 device.  I’m wondering if this is maybe some software glitch relating to the downgrade as I can’t make any sense of this.   I consider myself to be savvy and have a strong understanding of how the product works so I am at a loss at this point.  Will reach out to Sonos after the weekend but I’m hoping some veterans may have some ideas and

Hi,  I have a beam with 2 Sonos One as surround speaker connected to my tv ( Beam to ARC). I also have a Windows 10 PC connected to the TV with and hdmi cable that I use for gaming and listening Youtube. I play game on the PC using the TV as monitor. In the pc audio setting, I select the TV as the audio outpout. Normally, the game or Youtube sound is surround 5.1. I use this setup for a while now and all was working fine till today. Now, the sound only come out of the Beam (no surround). I guess the issues come from my pc because if I listen TV or Netflix, the surround sound work well. I also know that the speaker are well configured because if I use the 3 piece separatly, they all play the PC sound (at the same time if I use party mode). I made a few search and see that in the PC’s sound setting, in the TV speaker property, I only have the stereo option, no 5.1 sound option, like if the PC was not recognizing the home theater connected to the TV. The device cannot get more than 2 chan

Hi all!I have a recently bough Harmony Elite that I use with my Sonos Home Theater System.I control the Sonos System volume directly via the Elite (I guess via Wifi as it is not using IR).It worked flawlessly for a couple of weeks, and as soon as I press the volume up or down button, volume changes were instant and with no delays.A couple of days ago I noticed the remote sometimes seems to stop work when I try to change volume, specially if I press the volume up or down repeatedly. Hub led often ligths red and takes up some time to recover.Anyone else with this issue?I’ve resetted the hub several times, and also the remote, and created again activities.It temporarily solves the issue,, but after a while, issue returns.If I use the Sonos app, none of this happens.

Whenever I play music in the house via an Alexa command, it doesn’t crossfade and the crossfade option is actually greyed out in the Sonos app. Anyone have a solution? 

I can control the volume using my Android app fine. When I press the volume button on the Playbase directly however, it only adjust the volume for the Playbase itself, not the Play 1 remote speakers. Used to work until I moved system to a different house.

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

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?
