Hi guys, after installing my new Apple TV and adding my Hue lights to my Apple Homekit (via the new Apple TV) I get a password promt when I try to Airplay music via Spotify to my Sonos system.  I’ve checked the homekit settings; password’s off.  I have 1 Beam and 2 One SL’s. What to do?

I have three stereo pairs  Ones  Fives (w/sub) and Moves. I no longer can get all of them to appear in S2 on my cellphone nor on my desktop.  When I open S2 a random stereo pair is there and it works flawlessly.  Close S2 and reopen it again and a different stereo pair is in S2, and t works flawlessly.   But I want ALL the speakers to be in S2 at the same time!

1366507793very rarely can I play music through all speakers without one or more speakers constant connecting / disconnecting. It is often also very slow to toggle speakers on : off.  One speaker is wired and is driving Sonos net. I’ve tried all channels with no better luck. What can I do? I think a boost would not help much, correct?  Should I try to hard wire more? Or disconnect all?  Also how does one generate the connectivity matrix so that I can further debug? thanks 

I have been through all the discussions I could find on this topic but am still having an issue and those discussions are closed.I have updated Windows 10, made sure .Net framework is enabled and up to date, uninstalled (and made sure all files were deleted) and reinstalled, etc. - when I launch the controller I am still getting ‘Unable to load pcdcr.dll’ message Ready to throw SONOS out the window !!! I won’t go to the new controller as I am still using a Connect device in my office. Appreciate any help before I just give up and sell my stuff on Ebay…. Thanks, Randy

My diagnostic number is 1508135081.Playbase works with Ethernet but I can't add it with wifi, the phone Sonos app can't find it.

Apple music stopped working. Tried reload and reset.  Now when I go to load and click on register my account, it just goes to a blank white screen. Tried on two android phones.  Apple music app on device is fine, only on sonos app does it not work.  

When I play music through my Playbase I use the Sky Q remote to control the volume & it works perfectly.When I have the TV on I cannot get the Sky Q remote to play sound through my Playbase. I have been through settings on Sky Q but it only seems to recognise the Sonos Playbar. I have tried to click on Playbar but the Sky Q remote still does not change the volume.Connected to Sony 65AG9BU 4K OLED TV through optical audio output.Please can anyone help? Thank you

Hi Friends, I am having a strange issue. My Bluetooth speaker is connected to Windows 10 laptop but it is not emitting any sound. Any idea what could be the issue with it?

Whenever songs are played through the songs speakers on the songs app, the tempo of the songs are sped up by about 5% which completely ruins certain songs that rely heavily on tempo and tempo changes.   is there a setting I can turn on/off or any troubleshooting tips to fix this?

Help! I can’t access my sonos via the app. I can’t remember the email credentials from when I set it up but it looks like my old boarder hijacked it because when I try to use the app it requires an update and when I press on that it comes up with an email address requesting a password and it is not my email. He won’t give me the details and I’m not sure how to proceed. I just want to connect my new account to my old sonos. Any suggestions?

Starting this morning, I am unable to play any of my playlists (on Android and coming from Amazon Music).  When I try, it starts going through each song on the first album in the playlist and gives me a message that says "Unable to play [song title] - the song is not encoded correctly."  If I search for and play the album directly it works just fine, but I cannot play it through the playlist. Any idea why this would suddenly be happening for playlists that were working just fine yesterday? Thanks in advance! Cheers,Burt

Hello,I am generally very pleased with my Sonos setup and it has revived my passion for good sounding music. I usually stream from my MacBook and generally have no issues, apart from when I need a break or a gap in listening. After a break I find it difficult to start listening again, Sonos just won’t seem to wake up? I am using Apple streaming and the only way I seem to be able to start listening again is to quit the Apple Music app, quit the Sonos app click on the airplay icon in Apple Music and select my room. This works but I’m wondering if I need to change a setting somewhere so that I don’t have to go through this lengthy process. Cheers, Simon

It started a few days ago when I’m home, the song from “Queen - We will rock you” starts playing unexpectedly. I did notice that when it plays it’s through the Sonos app utilizing Amazon music streaming service. I unlinked the Amazon account and then linked it once again. I have submitted the diagnostics just now I don’t know what the next step in this process is, maybe if you can point me in the right direction. Thanks!  

When I stream/play my Amazon playlists on Sonos, songs are cutting out and going off and on. It isn’t every song, but it’s always the same songs that do it. But when I ask Alexa to play those same songs on Sonos, they do not cut out or go off and on. What am I missing?  

I have an older amp that doesn’t show up in my account / profile.  So I can’t use the upgrade program.  How can I get this component into my account ?

I called 2x today to support because my 27 Sonos speakers have somehow all disconnected from my UniFi network.  Both times level 2 support was involved / basically telling me to contact UniFi .  The problem has nothing to do with UniFi - only Sonos among 450 devices on my four Wi-Fi networks has a problem.   Thanks for nothing Sonos / I failed to even get an email response after they promised to provide one.  

Hello I have question I have an Apple TV 4K 2021 and LG C1, and connected to sonos playbase with surround and sub. When I play YouTube from LG webos the Sonos app shows Dolby digital 2.0 and it sounds louder and better while I play the same YouTube content from Apple TV YouTube app the sonos app shows as stereo pcm and I have to increase the volume to match the webos app. The same happens for curiosity stream and other apps as well. Is there a way to get the Dolby digital 2.0 on the Apple TV ? Many thanks

I’ve started experiencing sound dropping out or skipping during tracks when using Amazon music unlimited vis the Sonos app.  this has been working perfectly up until now, strangely if I stream straight from the Amazon music app it appears to work fine, it’s just when I use the Sonos app. I have a Playbar and two ones and it’s all via Wi-Fi. Nothing has been changed or added so I’m a little puzzled as to why. sent a diagnostics check to Sonos and I’ll see what happens next, confirmation number was  520144441

I have a multi-room setup where the kids all have a Sonos1 in each bedroom. It currently works well with Spotify Family as they can all stream their own playlists via Spotify App. I took out a trial of Apple Music (Family account) and I'm considering switching to that service instead.The Apple Music App only supports Airplay to newer speakers like my Play5 although the Sonos app lets them access their individual speakers.However Sonos App appears to only allow 1x Apple account to stream (mine is setup and working). How do I set things up to allow the kids to stream their own music & playlists to their own speaker?

Hi, Has anyone else noticed that the volume level for TV Autoplay is much louder than it used to be?  I’m currently running v13.3 and only noticed this in the last couple of weeks. When the Playbar autotunes to the TV input the volume is about 40% (before it was 20-25%). Couldn’t see anything in the release notes about autoplay volume being tweaked (and the TV input is not customisable, unlike Line-In on other devices), but if it was tweaked it would be useful to get confirmation. CheersGuy

I’ve had Sonos for years and the performance over the past week has degraded to make it nearly unusable. I listen almost exclusively to spotify and my music library. Spotify has recently begun returning a number of errors that result in skipped tracks. “not encoded correctly”  or “the connection to spotify was lost.”I’m running a Play:3, Play:1, One, and Roam all through a Boost. I’ve tried switching the Sonos channel from 11 to 1. I even factory reset my wifi setup last night and created a new network name. The issue has persisted and is very frustrating.I ran a diagnostic, #227227461 Any help you can give would be appreciated. 

When I’m connecting to the Sonos Move using Airplay through the Apple Music app (using an Iphone 13 Pro), the sound is very choppy and sometimes stops playing altogether. When I try streaming YouTube to the Move through the same iPhone, the same exact thing happens. I’ve tried factory re-setting the speaker twice and it still does the same thing! I’ve also reset my router multiple time. Any suggestions would greatly help!

My Move has recently become very unreliable. When I’m using it on the balcony it drops out pretty regularly, however this never seems to happen with my Roam. This evening I was using it in the kitchen, grouped with a play 1 and it just … stopped playing music. According to the app it was still playing and still grouped, but I had no sound. I tried to ungroup it (planning to then re add it) but the app did not respond. I tried holding the play button to group it but it just ‘dinged’ and then flashed orange!  My Sonos app says everything is up to date. I have a linksys velop mesh system that is regularly updated / restarted etc and currently all up to date too, and sonosnet as one speaker is wired in. All speakers except the move and roam are WM0, the portables are WM1. The MAC address for all Sonos items are reserved too. I am wondering if the balcony issue is because the Move is usually connected to a further away velop node (close to where it lives indoors) which might explain the dif

I picked up an IKEA symfonisk bookshelf speaker today and set it up. No issues with WiFi connectivity, apps on Android, iOS and Windows all working. Was able to add TuneIn radio and CBC Radio servies. The only snag is I don’t seem to be able to add some of the other music services I use, including Spotify, Amazon Music or SiriusXM. They don’t even appear in the list! Here is a screenshot of where I would expect Spotify to appear on the Windows app. Same thing on the other apps. Am I doing something wrong? I’ve tried cycling the power on the unit multiple times.   

I have a Sonos playbar from 2020, just looking at possible upgrades and it’s saying I’ve upgraded it already. I haven’t purchased any Sono products recently and still using the playbar.Any ideas on this?
