You can start a station from any song in the YouTube Music app, but you cannot when using the Sonos App.  Why?

I have a Playbar with Sub and two Ones as 5.1 on TV. Until recently, when I finished watching TV, the Sonos would revert to my last listened TuneIn or other Favourite after maybe fifteen minutes. Scenario: TV off - go to bed - get up - press a pause button and there should be radio. Now there isn’t. If I open the app, it is still connected to the TV (optical). I have to browse and pick the radio station. OK, this is not a reason to go crazy but it is a new unwanted behaviour. It still swaps to TV if I turn that on while another source is playing.I can not say whether this started with the latest update but it is a very recent manifestation.Has anyone else had this? Is there a fix?I did do searches before posting here. Please don’t mutter if I missed something somewhere else.

Recently, I’ve had intermittent connection issues, with my iPhone reporting various “system not found” types of errors. Looking into it more, it seems my phone is dropping/slow connecting back onto my wifi. Has anyone else experienced this, or can suggest a setting I need to set in the phone to resolve this? It’s an iPhone XR running iOS 14.8 which I believe is up-to-date. 

Just had our new system set up yesterday. It worked fine...turned the TV this morning and getting a message that the system can't be found.

I typically use the ‘everywhere’ default group for playing music, composed of all devices I have in my home.  My device groups / layout is as follows:GarageLiving RoomKitchenMaster BathroomMaster BedroomOffice→ All using wifi (not sonosnet) When playing music to the ‘everywhere’ group, the room listed first was always ‘Garage’, seemingly chosen because of alphabetical ordering. My problem is that the Garage room is furthest from all other speakers, and when playing highER bandwidth music like Sonos HD I would experience 3-4 cutouts + recovers within 1 minute. By changing the name of my living room to ‘1 Living Room’, I think I’ve forced the living room, the most central speaker room in the house, to be used as the group coordinator anytime its included in the group playing music. With this change I’ve had no further issues with music cutting out. Only remaining problem is if I choose to play music to all rooms besides the living room, the group coordinator will still become the Garage

Hi guys, i recently hooked a Sonos ARC to a Sony A8H TV with a HDMI cable to arc input.Client call me back a few days after saying that the bar makes a big and very loud sound with no raison while watching Smart TV (Netflix).  The only way to stop the bug sound is to power of bar or TV.I read a lot of comments about Sony TVs and soundbars, looks like an occasionaly incompatible audio codec problem.I tried with the optical adapter -- same problem.Is there a specific setting that i need to do in the audio menu of the Sony TV or in the Sonos ARC config?ThanksMarc 

My roam won;t charge. I’ve had it for 5 months and using the same charger i have used it won’t  charge. Have tried a different charger and cable but still won’t charge. The charge light is not coming on. Hadn’t used it for about 5 days and not put on charge unitl today, it was low on battery a few days ago but it should still charge up? Been attached for 9 hours now and nothing

My first post, hello all. I have had Sonos for many years and have never had an issue until recently. My Play:1’s are set up in a stereo pair with a 2nd Gen Sub and a few days ago I started having issues with Amazon Music (specifically songs that are Ultra HD only) and have been experiencing choppy audio which makes the music un-listenable.I do not have this issue with my amp (newest gen) or SL ones, it only happens with the Play:1’s. I was on the phone with support for 1-½ hours with no solution - anyone else having this issue? I am using S2 and I am assuming this is an issue with the Ultra HD music file being compatible with the Play:1’s since it doesn’t happen on any of my newer speakers. It also does not happen if I select songs that are not Ultra HD. I do not have any issues with streaming Ultra HD songs directly from the Amazon Music App, only using the Sonos App.(I have removed/reinstalled the Music link in the Sonos app, rebooted my router and modem, rebooted the speakers, did

Anyone else having connectivity issues since the latest Sonos software upgrade? I m running Sonos on an Eero Wi-Fi mesh.   Before the latest upgrade, it had sporadic issues that were easily resolved. But since this latest upgrade I am having frequent connectivity issues (speakers dropping off) and syncing issues (speakers falling out of sync).

My Sonos speaker is not showing up on my phone, but it is showing up on another person’s phone in my household. Both phones have the most up to date Sonos app and are logged in to the same account. I tried to reset the speaker and the wifi router, but the issue persists.

I had sonos arc with name salon in the app.I connected an older Sonos beam I had disconnected , but it had the same name salon.Once I did that the settings page won't load anymore in the app.When sel we cting to play something I see 2 salon entries and can play in both.  

I have recently had poor buffering problems mainly when using Sonos system with Amazon Music. My Wi fi is BT running at 50 MB so quite fast. I dont have problems with the radio throug Sonos system e.g Gold or Smooth. To solve this I have just bought a Sonos Boost. It is much better but intermittent buffering problems are still happening. Is there anything else I can do. I am not very technical. I am running S1 with 5 speakers all 1st Generation. 3 x Sonos 5 and 2 x Sonos 3 and a Sonos Amp. 

Hello, I´m having trouble with my network since I installed a sonos play 1 that my now ex-girlfriend gave me as a “present”. All my connected devices to my router are having some kind of issue… So, she  comes out of the bleu with the sonos play 1 and says she wants me to have this… She a couple of these players at home so I let her installe the thing… a couple of days later there are issues with the wireless adaptor in my laptop. It tunrs out is been switch off and replaced with a virtual adaptor. I have a little knowledge about some stuff but not enough to fix it. So I google to find things out and learn. Then I stumble on a site about dns rebinding and that sonos play 1 is compatible for this… My question now is : Can somebody please try I explain me in no technical terms but in plain and simple  Englisch, how to find out or check this device if it´s been prepared to rebind with another remote device ,server or something else. My data charts are hitting an all time high, blue tooth s

I have a Play 5 (gen 1) and just bought a Play 5 (gen 2) to be able to use new S2 app. With Play5 (gen1) I connected sound directly from computer 3.5 mm output via cable to Play5 (gen1) speaker and had no sound sync issues when watching e.g. Netflix/YouTube etc. Then I installed S2 and connected Play 5 (gen 2) and now I have sync issues, even with direct connection with 3.5 mm cable from Computer to Speaker. I set up S1 again, and unfortunately now also Play 5 (gen 1) has sound delay when playing video (Netflix/Youtube etc). Any ideas? I know the point of sonos is getting rid of cables….!

Hi, for some reason when I use the Sonos S1 search function on any of my devices (2 iPads and 2 iPhones) it doesn’t find anything. 

I keep getting an error when trying to add my new Boost to my existing system. I tried adding it to the existing system both in wired and wireless mode and keep getting the error. I wonder if it’s something to do with our BT router which we’ve had issues with before adding items to the network.

Hello. Do the new Sonos speakers need to be plugged into the mains or is there a wireless version?thanksLJB

Aucune possibilité de connexion j’ai changé de router cette semaine et Depuis aucune possibilité de configuration mon bridge est introuvable même si branché directement sur le router 

I’ve been woken up twice in two weeks with instrumental music playing, first at 3 am and then 2 am. It’s not music from anyone’s playlists. Here is the diagnostic.

I have changed the channel on Sonos (I have tried all 3 channels) although the music continues to drop out.  Appears to be at the end of the song generally.  Just skips to the next song. Any ideas to fix this?   

My Sonos one hit a hard floor and is broken. The sound is distorted. Is there a place to fix it?  

So since - I guess - att least a year back the Swedish letters å ä and ö are not recognized. Why? My Nas can see them, windows and Mac can see them. Sure I can get something like A Better Finder Rename and traverse the entire collection hunting for and renaming these songs. But why? This used to work. I never like when things that used to work stop working. Thanks in advance, Andreas 

I upgraded a five zone s1 set up to an s2 set up and switched one unit to a Sonos Move. The Move unit will not stay connected to the Sonos App. I have a Unifi Network with multiple hotspots and I have strong wifi signal all over the house.   So far I’ve tried three things 1) I switched the sonos channel from channel 6 to channel 1, 2) I made sure another sonos unit reasonably nearby is hardwired to the network and 3) I set the move to a fixed IP address.None of this has seemed to help. I have to turn the unit on and off 90% of the time i want to use it.If this is how it’s supposed to work, can I return it? If this isn’t how it’s supposed to work, can you give me further troubleshooting tips?The troubleshooting log confirmation number is: 1694109195.

Hi community!I bought a Sonos Move two weeks ago approximately. First day of use the battery light flashed red and I visited the vendor in mu country (Chile, Sound Advisor), after a week the vendor says my Sonos don't have any problem, the problem did'nt apper in his lab .Today I had time to test and I listened music "all day" and...The battery light flashing red again and after to conect in  his charge base it normalize, Is it normal? . Battery charge lasted exactly 8 hours with an average volume of 40%. Is it normal? I expected 11 hours or at least 10 hours of music without charging.I appreciate your comments.Javier.-

I am quite angry about this issue and it’s been discussed at length in this topic, where I was provided with instructions on how to deal with this issue. I’ve done that. Done it many times. IT DOESN’T WORK!I have two entertainment systems, a nice 5.1 and 134” screen in the barn, where we have a lot of room, and a smaller one in the house. They’re both projection TV systems, which makes ARC almost impossible to use with them. I have to keep the one in the house on Line In to hear music from the TV.My main issue is that I have to keep this AMP on Line In. (And I loathe that Sonos will ONLY work with ARC and not just an HDMI signal - that would solve m problems, but it’s more important Sonos do things their way than allow a few options to make their expensive hardware work with different setups.) Often the AMP resets to HDMI.I’ve gone through settings and turned on Autoplay for Line-In. I’ve done it about a dozen times a this point. IT DOES NOT WORK. I said, in the other thread, it wasn’t
