Components & Architectural

Hi. I’ve been a long time Sonos+Apple TV user  and recently threw a Hue Sync box into the mix. My original setup was:Apple TV HDMI out to Vizio TV HDMI 4K 60 In > Vizio TV Optical Out to Playbar Optical In. With this setup, I can control the Sonos volume using the Apple TV gen 1 and gen 2 remotes without issue. It even works with the Apple TV Software remote on iPhone and iPad.When I introduce the Hue Sync box, I lose the volume control, and the audio/video/lights work as expected. The only thing that doesn’t work is the volume function on the Apple TV remote. The current/new connection path is:Apple TV HDMI Out to Hue Sync Box input 4 > Hue Sync Box HDMI Out to Visio HDMI 4K 60 In > Vizio Optical Out to Playbar Optical in.   Based another post with input from Hue Support, the recommended connection is just like I have it: Sources > Sync Box> TV > Receiver/Soundbar? (Arc bypass needs to be disabled) (Music mode always works) See this post for details:  Has any one els

Hello,I have a Sonos Play 1 running S2 (13.1.1) and it is present on my Wifi network. I can stream to it via the Sonos controller for S2 installed on my portable PC and it works fine. What does not work is streaming from my iPhone SE running iOS 14.6 to the Play 1 and I don’t understand why not.When I run YouTube on the phone, I can see my Hegel H190 amplifier which is also AirPlay compatible (and I can stream to it) but I don’t see the Sonos loudspeaker. I don’t have any Sonos app. installed on the phone though but I don’t think this is necessary right? If you have trails I could explore to make this work, I would appreciate. Thanks a lot!Chris

From time to time when I’m trying to play soundcloud playlists I get the error message "Unable to play ‘’ unable to connect to souncloud...".Sometimes Sonos start to play soudcloud song, but then (for example after 30 minutes) it stops and I get the error message "Unable to browse music". In the same time soundcloud plays from original software thru airplay to sonos without big issues (the only problem is not perfect music sync between speakers, but I understand that’s airplay issue).All other musical sources (TuneIn radio, for example) is working fine.Could you help please? 

I recently switched to TMobile home internet service, so far so good, streaming TV, internet, home automation, etc.I am in an area that has one other option (XFinity) and their service on my street is crap.My 4 - Sonos Ones which have worked fine for years suddenly drop in an out. Mid-song they will just go silent and then start up a minute later on the next song. It happens often.I have looked at the 2.4 vs 5ghz issue, not sure if that is a thing. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? 

WiFi seems to have stopped working on my playbase. I plugged in LAN cable and working now. I just submitted diagnosis report. Can you tell from that what is going on?

Hi,I have 3 by Wi-Fi discs and 8 Sonos SL. they were working fine but know we experience intermittent cutting out of songs when playing Spotify. Our internet has no issues, it is just the Sonos system although some speakers always work with no interruptions. I have tried resetting th system and it work for a few hours but then reverts back to this state of playing, then having no sound, then skipping to a new song on the playlist. any thoughts?

Recent updates to the apps seem to have introduced some problems.  Namely, the app on iOS and MacOS do not sync with the Sonos system as well.  Delays, hiccups -- and finally it connects.  For example, stopping a playing stream.   I should be able to do this quickly on my WLAN/LAN without any problem (hasn’t been a problem until recently).    If I play a stream from my iOS app, I should be able to stop it from my MacOS app and vise-versa, without these issues.Anyone else experiencing this?

So my move is no longer connecting to WiFi nor will it go into Bluetooth mode (no blue light).  Ran set up a few times but says Move added but not to wifi, please continue in setting tab, of course there its only shows not connected to wifi.   The only change recently was a ComCast upgraded router to gigabit speed.  I have rebooted that several times.  No Joy.   Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Guys,I’m having an issue with one area in my house so resetting my system. I’ve read I could hardwire one speaker, which will create the SonosNet (WM:0), then connect the other speakers to the SonosNet instead of wifi. Issue is, when I set up the remaining speakers (after a factory reset), they come up as WM:1), only the wired Play:1 shows WM:0.Am I missing something? I presume the SonosNet is therefore not working?Thanks for any help! 🍻

I have a Project turntable connected to a Port.  There is the annoying buzz consistently referenced here indicating the need for a grounding.  The Port does not have a ground offered.  What can be done for this? It really seems like a common issue and should be addressed in the literature so we don’t have to hunt the web for possible solutions.

After many repeated attempts I have been unable to join 2 Move speakers as a stereo pair on WiFi. I follow the instructions but at the last step( as the speakers play the tone) one speaker cuts out completely. has anyone else experienced this, of have a solution?

yesterday they stole my sonos move, being registered in my name in my system, but to use it they have to reset and log in again and create a sonos account, can the cashier be blocked and rendered unusable? can it be located via the police? and also recover ?… Any similar experience?

Hello my Sonos amp one of two was working fine for years. Till it stopped the other day. All the lights are on. I’ve checked all the wires. Did a reset to amp. Plugged the wires into the amp that does the ext speakers and the speakers all worked fine. So I’m missing something with the amp or it’s fried. Here’s the diagnostic number 242145167

Hi, When my Sonos works, it is great rich bass and decent volume. The other 95% of the time it is the most hateful thing I own. Just recently I have lost all sound output and have no volume control. I have spent the last three hours removing all the software from my phone and computer, playing with settings, resetting the speaker and generally getting frustrated.  I have a feeling my 17 year old son may have done something to the speaker as his account is currently the primary account name. Is it possible to break the internal amp or speakers within it. If I get my year right next to the speaker i can make out the tunes I want to listen to, so I know the WiFi and set up is correct. The volume limit is set to off.I just need to get it working so I can sell it and replace with something else which is a real shame because I am not quite sure I will get the same sound quality elsewhere. Thanks in advance

I have a Spotify Premium account. So far, SONOS plays everything on Spotify except for a Spotify radio program titled “The Blues Kitchen Radio.” The program plays fine on my Bluetooth speakers. What can I do to get it to play on SONOS?

Hello,I have three (3) 1’s and one (1) 5 connected via a Nighthawk mesh wifi system. The system has great bandwidth but the Sonos system keeps dropping off. I have hard wired and factory resetted a number of times and the speakers show up for a period of time and then drop. I have changed channels (to 11, and 1 so far) and still the Sonos system keeps dropping. I have tried just about everything I can find and it still drops. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

We have many problems with AC ARUBA AP 505 . Speakers disappear : the APP does not find speakers.Please help

Hi. The only service I presently subscribe to is Idagio. For the last week or so, it’s been unlistenable. It’s choppy, and cuts out every minute or so. I also have my itunes library in Sonos, and those tracks play fine. It’s just the streaming. To check whether or not the problem is with Idagio or Sonos, I signed up for a free trial of Primephonic, and that cuts out exactly the same as Idagio. How can I deal with this?

Dear all, I’m trying to get a dedicated Router - Play 1 - Sonosnet → all other speakers (avoiding my wireless completely as it’s causing drop outs).  The Play 1 is wired into my router’s ethernet with an ethernet cable. It says it’s WM: 0 on the “About My System” tab. So this means it’s working wired, I believe. Now all of the other speakers still say WM: 1. This means they are still wireless! (But I don’t know if this is my house wireless or the sonosnet wireless. - how do I tell?) I carried out the steps here:https://support.sonos.com/s/article/3209?language=en_US “Switch Sonos between a wireless and wired setup” Do I need a boost instead of the play 1? I can’t turn off the wifi on the other speakers unless they are plugged in (it says).I have “SonosNet Channel” option in my Network tab. This may mean something??? Any insights gratefully received. Thanks!Graham   

Dear community, I have a 5.1 with the playbar and another 6 play one in my flat. Today I plugged an ethernet cable in one of the play one not part of the 5.1 and, naively, expect all the speakers to switch from wm1 to wm0. Unfortunately only the one I plugged in switched to wm0.How can I fix it? Thanks

Hi all,As per title really, I’m trying to setup two Connect:Amps (Gen 1) for surround sound from my TV. The line-in works great and both amps are currently setup as different rooms & are performing well (wireless & wired modes both work fine when tested). However, step 3 of the guide: “Under Products, tap the Sonos home theater room” - I don’t see an option for the “Sonos home theatre room”. Any ideas? Guide is here: https://support.sonos.com/s/article/2927And this is where I started:  

I really have no idea How to read this chart ????? https://ibb.co/hC2950s  the sonos 3-1 ste sal and 5-1 ste sal keeps disconecting and i really have no idea How to read that chart   

Hi there,As many as other users, I’m experiencing audio issues with my Sonos system. I use it only with Spotify. I don’t have any local media library and other services. The songs skip or stop but counter still playing in the app. I can happen 3 times in 10 minutes but can be also stable for a whole day.I know there is an issue with Spotify but I would like to be sure it’s not wireless interference.I’m pretty sure it’s not but I’d would like to have no doubts. I called the customer support few weeks ago (before finding the Spotify thread I mentioned earlier) I have been told that my wireless setup could be the issue because I’m using the same network on both bands and I have several access points. My wireless setup is based on Ubiquiti APs. All the Sonos speakers are wireless (3 Sonos One SL, 1 Move).All the APs are wired. The UniFi controller reports that all the sonos products are connected to the 5 Ghz  (except the Move which is weird because it’s as the same distance from the AP th

Play:1 on wifi (measuring with my wifi analyzer close to the unit it says full power)50% of the time each morning I get chime instead of my favorite radio channel. If I turn it of and pushes play the radio starts normally, so it is not a connection problem. Amp wired:My Amp starts alway normally on the same radio channel. My send dianostic number is: 579536031 Note : I use Google wifi to cover my house.

I listen to a 6iX ( Local Perth WA radio station ) on my Sonos speakers via Tunein. After about 15 minutes this station starts to “stutter” and eventually cuts out. When I restart the station all is well until it all repeats after 15 minutes or so.I would add that 6iX is the ONLY station that this happens to. All other stations streamed are faultless and will continue all day. I have a high speed internet connection at 100mps fibre to the premises. My Sonos speakers are connected to my router via Ethernet cables. All other Wi-fi or Ethernet connected products in my home are fine. Help please???
