My ones are taking a beating andi cover them in the rain season.Suggestions?

Hello! I bought a symfonisk bookshelf speaker to use mainly as an alarm system, streaming music from a windows 10 pc shared folder over LAN.However on some occasions, the alarm doesn’t play, in spite of the playlist loading into the system. It just shows as paused on 0:00 on the first track. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to why this happens, for example this morning it happened for the first alarm, but the backup Chime alarm worked fine.The system is currently wired via powerline ethernet, but I’ve had this same issue on wifi as well. I can’t see any obvious pattern to when this is happening either, either in the timings or the specific music that refuses to play.

Hi,I am having issues hard resetting my speaker. It was working as surrounds with my Beam but all of a sudden my left speaker didn’t work.  I have tried a hard reset several times but cannot get it to change to the orange and then green light, it stays on white. I have tried several times but to no avail.  Any ideas please?thanks

I bought a new Sonos One, my first, and have connected it to my Orbi network at home. The device works well when using the Sonos app on iOS or Mac but when I use another iOS app such as Apple Music to stream via Airplay (as I airplay to multiple devices, non Sonos), I always get an “Unable to connect” error for he Sonos speaker.  I’ve tried resets of the network, reset of the speaker and reinstall, I’ve updated the network settings as per recommendations in other threads here - no joy. Very frustrating.

I lost the kitchen speaker - followed the in app support and found it, only to then lose all the rest. Followed the in app support again but can’t find rest of the speakers. Quite frustrating. Can anyone help with an answer, please. 

A friend accidentally knocked my sonos move off a low table and it fell straight on its head damaging the grill on the front (takes the good look off the speaker) still works perfect but it’s only 6 months old and the speakers are that good looking they become a feature piece in the house but now it looks like a damaged broken up piece.would like to see my options for getting it repaired . If any??   

My system repeatedly drops its connection to my wifi. I found the advice pasted below on an earlier discussion. This advice works to reconnect my Sonos, but then after a day or two it just drops the connection again. Any further advice would be gratefully received.  ‘  jgatie 22419 replies 1 year ago I second the above advice, factory resetting is only necessary when instructed by Sonos support staff, and is only useful if an update has bricked the unit.  Factory resetting an entire system wipes out all data; services, playlists, favorites, account info, etc., and also wipes out any diagnostic info Sonos could use to help you out.  Connection problems which appear suddenly are often caused by network problems, not Sonos problems.  The  typical cause is duplicate IP addresses.  These often show up after an update or power outage because a reboot requires the device to request a new IP, and the router, having lost track of current IP assignments, issues a new IP that is in use by anoth

hi, guys, i need help,yesterday arrived my sonos, the picture, which  is made  with IKEA,i got the sonos app, and  i add it , but  when i put the  password,they said,`please, control the setting modem”,so  i open the 192.168.1.1, according the advise from app,i  had divided the wifi, the 2.4gzhz with different name , and model wifi is mixed 802.11 b/g/n, and then i tried again, but  i faild another time , and on app ,they said again` please, control the setting modem`,so  i thought maybe i was far from modem,so  i put it very close to the modem , and i tried again,but  i faild again…i`m very sad, and confused  , please someone hlep me ,

Out of nowhere yesterday I was unable to play Prime stations. All return the error “requested operation failed. please try again”. I’ve reauthorized, deleted & re-added my Prime account, and done everything else I can think of. Other music on Prime works, I just can’t play any Stations. I found lots of threads about similar issues with Sonos & Prime but no clear solutions. Deleting my account from Sonos & re-adding it didn’t work.

I have noticed recently my Connect is getting very hot on the top. Although i can hold my hand on it it is uncomfortable to do so. Is this a problem?It has also started to occasionally stop playing part way through a song. It will then start at the next song or i have to shut down the app and restart it otherwise the app won’t help it.

Hi all, It seems my SONOS soundbar is continually adjusting when I have an electric fan on near it. It also seems to do this when many people are in the house. It’s as if it’s auto-adjusting it’s output to my Sony Bravia. This means that sometimes even at 0 volume it can still be heard. I continue pressing down on the volume and it seems to reset itself. Any ideas?

I have several wired Sonos products + few not wired and a Roam. I have a main router and 2 WAPs - in lounge (netgear) and bedroom (ubiquity). The iOS app does not connect to the Sonos system when wifi connected near the main router but ok when connecting to wifi near 2 WAPs. All 3 use same SSID. Roam struggles to connect back via wifi after it’s been used from Bluetooth or randomly disappears from iOS controller. When this happens, on Spotify connect can see roam but on iOS controller  it’s not there. I am not a network expert - suspect it’s something to do with WAPs and DHCP settings. Netgear has option to set up or let router set it - not sure which one to use? Any help appreciated !

My sonos has simply stopped working. Cannot connect the bridge, although it was working without the bridge connected for about 2 or mor months. Now it says it cannot connect and error 30 comes up. I am fairly technical but need someone to hold my hand to get this working again.. what do i have to do to get my music playing ?? please help. thanks Elena  

Hi There, I have read some questions about the same issue I’m facing right now. But unfortunately I have not seen any solution yet.The issue: I bought a pair of Sonos One, and registered them. They worked well. After a while I had to change my wi-fi network. I thoght no problem, I went through the steps advised by Sonos FAQ, and one of the speakers could be re-registered under the new wi-fi system (it is working well). But the other speaker is problematic. The android app could not see it. I can’t even go back the factory reset, since the speaker goes back to solid white led signal after every factory reset trial. So it seems the speaker is connected to somewhere but I don’t know where, and I don’t have the access to the speaker, because the application on my mobile don’t see it. Of course I have already went through hundreds of SONOS FAQs, but no one helped. :(( So what now? Many thanks for every idea. 

My Playbase sound will start and stop when playing music from my iMac.  It does not do this when playing the TV sound or the internet radio.  My Play 1 speakers do not have this issue - its just the the Playbase.  I did turn the power off and back on for the Playbase but that has not resolved it.  Any suggestions?

Hi all,We are an av installer and use sonos in some client setups. Mostly port or connect and we are experiencing a lot of problems after newest updates in S2.A lot of clients are reporting missing players. The player dissapears in the sonos app but is still active on the network and replies to ping and :1400/status page. Most of our installs are hardwired and wifi off, a lot of these installs worked fine for a long period until now.I think the issue occurs when playing spotify music selected in the sonos app.Other players playing internet radio trough sonos radio or tunein have no issues. Also when playing spotify trough spotify connect the players don’t disappear. Since we allready know of 10+ installs with these problems I don’t think the network or network gear is causing this. Because there are different routers and switches with most of the installs. Anyone aware of this issue or experiencing the same?  

I’ve got about 10 different Sonos products spread out around the house. Inexplicably, the whole system will not be recognized by either the Sonos app on my phone or the app on my Mac. However, when I ask Alexa to play, she is able to find the products and stream to them. The app does throw up an error message. However, I am never able to resolve the issue by following the instructions.  One particular instruction is that I turn everything off and on. However, this is not really practicable since four of the speakers are high up on the wall. Please advise what other detail you might need to help. I’ve submitted diagnostic 890531980 for reference. 

Morning. Just moved to a new home. I’ve not yet connected my Play 1 speakers but the house has a connect that’s linked to 6 Sonos speakers in the kitchen ceiling. Only 4 of them are working. Any clues of how to track down / fix the problem ?

After several years the volume and mute buttons on my 650 control have gone inert . I’m trying to shift these functions to other unassigned buttons on the 650 e.g. the Channel Up/Down switch as the new volume control. However, these the volume and mute functions seem to be tied to the original buttons. Thus deleting the Playbar does not free-up the original buttons. Has anyone successfully done this buttons transfer?

I bought a Roam on release and used it a bit but as it's mainly for holiday it's been sat doing nothing for quite a while. On holiday now after leaving it to charge overnight and it's completely dead. Just noticed it's not showing in the Sonos app and I've tried various chargers and all it does is show a red light when plugged in. Nothing happens when I hold power button or try to factory reset. Any ideas?

Curious why my sound fluctuates so much. I run everything through the Sonos. Apple TV, Apple Music, PS5 and Lg CX tv. It seems one minute I have to crank up the volume to hear anything and the next it’s too loud across the board no matter what I use.  Ive tried the volume in settings turning that up but then something may be too loud. I need to get this balanced. Thanks all 

I can see the speakers on the network from my PC with file explorer- so WiFi networking side of things is fine. I can also Ping them from my PC.The speakers set up OK on the new network and work fine with my iPhone using my iPhone music library but when I try to use my main music library (on my PC) the app on the phone cant connect to that library. I have done all the usual shut down and power up in sequence things but no change. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the S2 app on the PC but that makes no difference.I have tried connecting a speaker directly to the router. No difference.I have to say - the S2 PC app is not really very helpful when there’s a problem. There is no network diagnostics/analysis just the option to Try Again……   

Have BT Whole home Mesh set-up with 3 dishes and Sonos Boost. The master disc is plugged into main BT Home Hub, as is my Boost. About a month ago I added Sonos Move to my setup, had to reset it recently and had to ensure it connected to BT Whole home Mesh WiFi. What is the Boost doing and should I wire it too the Mesh disc?

I cannot turn on my Sonos Move device. It seems to be charging (the light turns on when put in charger. It is fully charged). But it doesn't turn on and can't get connected!? Any advices?

I have a problem that has been driving me crazy for the last month, and I really hope someone can help me out.I recently moved to a new house, where I have set up a wireless network using a router connected to three Ubiquity Unifi 6 Lite access point. Two are on the ground floor and one on the first floor.All in all, the network performance is great, except for one thing; connection to my Sonos speakers. I have a couple of different speakers; 3 Play:1's, a Sonos Move, an Arc and a IKEA Symfonisk bookshelf speaker. Everything is set up using the new Sonos S2 platform.The problem is, that while I can usually set up the speakers fine enough in the Sonos app, they tend to disappear and re-appear in the app at random. This happens both when I want to play music, but they also just cut out randomly when music is playing.My current assumption is that the issue is related to that the speakers each connect to different Unifi APs, and that they somehow can't see each other across the network. I
