Components and Architectural

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

Hi,Tonight my Sonos Move suddenly played Music very loudly in my kitchen (a bit after 3 AM CET, everbody sleeping). No neighbor using our wifi, no trace inside the app or alexa.1342612997 (diagnostics)Could you have a look into it?Many thanks in advance 

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

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. 

Hello,Support diagnosis: 1215484432For months I have been trying to install an alarm with a "Radio soft music no stress" radio. I set it up correctly with a very specific alarm time. Unfortunately, it is always the SONOS ringtone that goes off and never the chosen radio.I can't get the SONOS ringtone to go off.How can I do this?Please tell me.P.S.: I'm going on holiday for two weeks so you have time to tell me.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) Thanks 

Just recently the sonos/ deezer user interface has changed for the worst. Limited recommendations and search options.Any one else noticed this and have a fix or a solution?

I connected my old Sonos Connect from my storage unit to my account today, and I cannot see the upgrade credit. I would love to buy a whole new system. Does anyone know what’s going on?

Today when I launched the Sonos app a pop up asked if I wanted to add my new Sonos Port to the system. I don’t own a Port. The pop shows the serial number of the device, which I understand is also the MAC address.  I logged into my router and didn’t see any devices with this MAC address connected to my network.  I’m sure I’m not connected to my neighbors WiFi so how does this device keep showing up in the app? 

For the last few days, (now running 14.6 build 68228040) I’m finding that if I stop the radio, either with the iOs app or by pressing the play/pause button on my Amp, I cannot then restart it.Message is “cannot play ----- radio. Station not found”.This happens if I try to restart withthe app or the play/pause button. Only way to resume is to select the station in favourites and then it starts fine. New behaviour, this used to work flawlessly.Anyone else?

My port only plays music through one channel (right speaker). It will work randomly through both channels. I purchased a new amp because I thought it was the problem. So all 3 amps I have used the left channel doesn’t work. It has to be an issue with the port but I can’t get with Sonos support. 

My main room is Sonos Arc with Sonos Sub with 2 sonos one in the rear ( 5.1 ) The Arc is plug into the Router with Lan cable. The second zone ( Kitchen ) it’s 2 Sonos One on wall on wi-fi ( 15feet away with -45db straight signal ) The Third zone it’s outside with a Sonos Move. The problem is when we group all 3 , there is a lot of drop off. I Tried differents combition …..As long I let 2 zone group and the other one alone no problem…My 2.4 Ghz is on channel 6 and the sonos net is on 11.  Any clues ???I call Sonos , 2 hours with tech in Philipines :( and nobody were able to help me ??Any clue??

We have just installed a Sonos System for a client in a large house. There are 3 Sonos Amps running ceiling speakers and TV audio along with a couple of Play 1 speakers. After visiting site today we noticed that the IR to the Sonos Amps had stopped working, if we power cycle the Sonos Amps IR control works normally then stops again.ISSUE 2. We have hardwired one Amp to the router then daisy chained the other two ( looped from one amp to the next ) and disabled Wi-Fi in the Sonos Amps. Everything worked fine for a few months but now they get intermittent audio dropouts and skipping tracks when streaming from any music service, TV audio is fine. Sonosnet is not an option as the house is too large to bounce the signal.They have submitted a diagnostic - 205459698Any advice greatly appreciated.Lee at Emotivv

As reported by others, my Sonos occasionally plays the chime instead of the configured radio station when my alarm goes off. I’ve run a diagnostics and my confirmation number is 1670237215.

OK. I posted a while back about this but out of desperation I tried a few things including: Purchasing a 2nd CONNECT that is S2 compatible, ANDMoving the music library drive to a different host, ANDDownloading and installing S2 to all hosts, and yes EVEN…Copying the .music library to a NEW standalone drive; I have tried that on the regular host as well as another host PC on the network.Oh, I even rebuilt two operating systems thinking that maybe there were some files that had been corrupted. That’s right, I actually completely rebuilt the O.S. on two machines and reinstalled all software that I had previously installed on them. ALL of this in an attempt to make these two pieces of electronic excrement work reliably. NOTE: This DOES NOT happen with streaming services. However, I have a broad record / CD collection that is in-house, and I like having them available rather than a possibly somewhat compressed stream version. The fact that this doesn’t happen with streaming does not, in any

Greetings everybody,I would highly appreciate your potential help and suggestions on my problem here. Situation:Sonos Arc(wired) with Sub gen.3 and 2 x Ones. All show as “WM0” in the report. Gigabit fiber internet at home. Provider’s router has WiFi disabled and i use Ubiquity Unify UAP-AC-LR (wired to the router) for a 5ghz WiFi. No 2.4ghz radio enabled.

Distance from the Arc to the Unify AP is 3 meters.My problem:When i play Sonos, either with Spotify or TV sound, the speed of the WiFi drops dramatically. Sometimes i have download speed at 70mbps and the upload to 30mbps and sometimes i have my download around 30mbps and the u

I have 7 Connect:Amp’s installed in my network.On 3 of them an alarm goes off in the morning, with music from a radio station in Belgium, VRT Radio 2 Antwerpen. This works well in 99% of the cases on 2 Connect:Amp’s. On the other it doesn't work and I keep getting the Sonos signal. Have already tried adding the URL of the channel itself and then selecting it, but it works on 2 and the other doesn't either.Details of the Connect:Amps:Sonos OS: S1Version: 11.4 (build 571128060)Hardware version: 1.16.3.1-2.0Series ID: P100Can someone help me with this? Kind regards,Peter

Hi there,I have a Sonos Amp connected to my Vizio TV television for Audio. I consistently seem be seeing a lag in Audio that results in lip sync issues where audio lags the video. My understanding is that the features on the Sonos and on my TV are designed to address issues where the audio is ahead of the video rather than the opposite. Therefore, neither is helpful.I have noticed this for various inputs including the built-in chromecast on the TV, but also just TV over the air direct from the antenna.Set-up includes:HDMI connection from TV to Amp believe through that specialized type of HDMI port. ARC I think? Low latency setting in Sonos (75ms or whatever the latest setting is there) Various digital output settings on TV including Bitstream, Auto, and Dolby. All seem to have basically the same result. Two Sonos Ones set-up as rear speakers Is this just expected given the way that Sonos shares audio with devices wireless even if I’m not actually listening to those other devices? Anyth

Two years later it's still not compatible... it's a bit of a disappointment

I have Samsung QN85A and Arc SL with sub and a pair of One SL speakers as rears. my problem is exactly the same as the one listed here  it happens with my Apple TV and with the TV built in apps. I have latest firmware installed on all of my components. Any ideas?Like the author of the post I linked exiting out of the problematic app and moving around the Apple TV Home Screen until the UI makes a sound fixes it. I’ve had audio drop out even when going from one episode to the next in Hulu, HBO max, etc. I’ve only seen this behavior since purchasing this TV. Everything worked fine on my old 2018 LG.  

I am on Windows 10.  I have an Asus AC5300 Router.  I have an external HD that I have connected to the USB port of the Router.  Sono’s states file are no longer available, The device where the music files are stored may not be powered on (it is), the path may have changed (it didn’t).  It’s accepts iTunes with no issues.  Any one seen this issues?

HelloHave anyone else experienced a Sonos One defective speaker? I ordered 3 Sonos One back in 2021 for my restaurant, they are easy to install, audio is amazing but all 3 of them had the speaker replaced because it started to sound bad, popping, the internal soft speaker part fails and we don’t event turn the volume up to 60% all the timeI replaced the speakers with 3rd party parts from Aliexpress cause Sonos don’t sell the replacement speaker / wooferI guess it was a bad batch but now I am thinking of buying one again , it’s a shame  

I have 3x Sonos Ones and a Sonos Move all with Alexa enabled. We have had the Sonos Ones enabled with Alexa for the better part of 3 years. All of a sudden Spotify will no longer work via Alexa. I have disabled/enabled the Spotify skill in Alexa, removed the Spotify service from Sonos app, and removed Alexa from the Sonos Ones...all with no luck in being able to say “Alexa, play Spotify.” I can use the Spotify and Sonos app to stream Spotify without issue. It seems like this is an Alexa issue or a specific Alexa issue on the Sonos Ones. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Same as  : Only happens on my 3 Sonos devices, and happens on all 3, Google devices work fine.“Hey google, set an alarm for 7am”“Ok, alarm set for 7am”“Hey google, cancel my alarm”“Ok, your alarm for 5am has been cancelled” “Hey google, what time is it?...responds with correct timeAlarm also goes off at desired time.

When I play a podcast on my app and stream it to my Sonos system each time it starts on 3 of my speakers like a group, but not the other 7. The three are not in an actual group. How do I get it to just instanly play on a set group without manually going and changing it everytime?
