Sonos is so unrealiable. I am just fed up. Many times I hear music and suddenly it stops. I have 5 sonos loudspeakers at home (sonos one) . The wifi network is excellent. Sonos is just lousy. 

Hi, when I try and listen to an audiobook using audible, I got a ‘… song not encoded correctly’ error. This was working until quite recently. any idea on how to resolve?

Every now and again the sound cuts out on my living room setup. It’s the Playbar that’s cutting out. Its only for a second but it’s happening every 30/40 seconds which is getting annoying! Any help? 

In my account I have mistakenly clicked on my Connect Gen 2 Amp for upgrade which I clearly do not want to do! How do I cancel the upgrade before i lose my amp clicked about 4 days ago regards Russ

I think I have a pretty unique issue.  I am getting the error "Unable to browse music" when trying to play a playlist I created with mostly music I own in Amazon Music.  What's even stranger is the playlist plays fine directly from the  Amazon Music app.  I only have the issue when I try to play it via Sonos. I signed out of Amazon.  I refreshed my library.  I removed Amazon and readers the service and nothing works.  I really hate to rebuild this playlist.  All my other playlists work fine.  I submitted diagnostics  too, # 690578130 Appreciate any insight and help.  Thanks!

Hi, This morning my Sonos One speaker has started randomly making a “bing bong” sound for no reason.  I made a diagnostic right after the last one as I read in a support thread that it might help: 862562709 I don’t recognise the sound at all, but I have only had my Sonos for a week now!

I can't change the volume using either my mobile device or the touch controls. If I hold my finger on the down volume button it goes down for a second but then surges up again.Any advice appreciated.

I have half a dozen S1-only Sonos devices. I just bought 2 Fives. I understand those are S2 only and I’m prepared to have a split system running both S1 and S2.I ran into a problem trying to follow Sonos’ directions for adding S2 devices to an S1 system.  They say to first remove S1 devices through the System Tools section of the S1 app.  My problem is, there is no “remove device” button offered to me in that section. I’ve read past threads where some other users had this issue but it fixed itself when they updated their system.  But my Sonos is already up to date, plus I’ve tried rebooting my router, etc.  “Remove device” is not being offered to me.I’m wondering whether I would create problems if I went the other direction, and set up my S2 Fives as though I was setting up an entirely new Sonos system for the first time, and leave my Sonos 1 system as is.  Could that work?Any advice you can offer would be much appreciated!

I’ve got two play 5s in stereo and they have been working flawlessly for a month.   Now the right speaker disconnected and I cannot get it to reconnect whatever I do.   I’ve tried factory resetting, connecting to the router, everything.   The app gets as far as seeing there is a new speaker, when I press the button on the back, I hear the chime but then it says ‘error not connected’.   Every time.   Diagnostic 1423631518

Wrote this earlier, but I lost it. Another try.. :-/Diagnostic: 1852252668I have a fibre connection to my house. Speed check (OOKLA) gives me a Ping time of 32 ms, 235 Mbits in and 100 Mbits out. My system contains of six speakers, a BOOST and a Playbar.The six speakers (2 each of Play:1, Play:3 and Symfonisk) are grouped into a group.The system runs on ch 1 SONOS net and the rest of my WiFi is on Ch 11. The speakers have been working steady as a rock for at least six months (when i moved from WiFi to SONOS-net) and I haven’t changed anything in the infrastructure at home.This morning I started to get severe drop outs. As I’m writing this I’m only having music in my left Play:3 - group speaker. five sconds ago all speakers were playing. Now all speakers went silent.The sound image is constantly moving and I can’t find out what’s hapening. Hoping for some help here.The whole system (excep for the playbar) have been rebooted two times. Beginning with the BOOST and then moving out.The log

Hi There,I have a pretty large Sonos network with about 10-12 speakers running from it, and using a Boost. All was well until recently. The boost is connected directly the a Sky Q router (I’m in the UK) and the settings have been unchanged for about 3 years. Used to run Sonos either from my iPhoneX, an iPad Pro, MacBook or iMac, all wirelessly. The boost is connected via ethernet and is the only unit to be connected directly. The Wifi is a 2.4GHZ/5GHZ network running on a Sky Q Mesh so only has one network name. I updated to S2 about 2 months ago when I added 2 further speakers. No problems at all until recently. Mid way through a playlist that was started from the iPhone the system just lost connectivity. All the speakers continued playing, but the phone control no longer worked.  Now I have no control from the iPhone, the iPad Pro, or the MacBook, but strangely the iMac still happily controls all the units as it should. I can check the system data using the app on the iMac, but to al

I have Sonus 1.  I also have a RUSSOUND system.  All connections look intact.  This system used to work in 4 rooms until I upgraded to a MACBOOK PRO.  The Music library on SONOS is connected.  Clicking on “Rooms” on SONOS does not work.  How do I connect to the other three rooms the work through RUSSOUND?

Hello hello . After searching and reading a lot and contacting the Sonos support (useless unfortunately), I would like to share here my problem hoping to find a solution.I’ve a Beam and a couple of SYMFONISK for the surround. The system works fine, I can connect and control with my Android phone, my Mac and ever send content with Airplay 2 from my iPad Pro 12.9 2nd gen. The problem is the Sonos S2 on the iPad that cannot see the system. I’ve done all the tips suggested by support with no luck. I’ve all the products with the latest SW update, including iOS 14.1 on the iPad, which I think is the problem. I give all the permission, obviously, included the beautiful Local Network. BUT, every time that I open the app and try to Join an existing system, it gives me a pop up saying that I’ve to grant access to the local network to the app. I press ok, the permission is active and after a couple of seconds of searching, it says that is Impossible to find any Sonos product on the network. Anot

About two weeks ago, my sonos S1 stopped working. On multiple devices (android, iOS, mac) the app says that the speakers need an update. However, when we try and update them, it gives “error code 30”. I have spoken with tech support and they had me try various unplugging and resetting. I am unable to directly connect the speakers via an ethernet cable due to where they are located. Is there anything else I can try to get these speakers updated and working again?

Hi.My soundbar sometimes start a radiostation randomly in the morning on different times and different volumes. I can't turn it of I my app, have to go to the soundbar and turn it off by the button on the soundbar..Anyone experience this problem?Best regards!

Hi, new to the forum, hope that someone can help me with a problem I have with a Move speaker.I have had the Move speaker for around a week.  After initially setting it up, it worked perfectly, until it was left for an hour or so and went into hibernation.  From then on, the speaker will not connect to the app via wifi unless I carry out a factory reset.  Bluetooth works all the time without any problems.I have now had to factory reset the Move on numerous occasions to be able to connect to it via wifi.I am connecting from an iphone x to an Asus 90IG01Z0-BU2000 Wireless Gigabit Router.  both the Move and the iphone are definitely on the same wifi connection and I have several other devices running from the wifi that never have any issues.  The Move has been updated to the latest firmware and the app gets stuck at the “Searching for nearby products, make sure they’re powered on” stage.  There are no other routers running in the house, no mesh or boosters and the speaker is sat 5 feet fr

After a 4 month renovation, we plugged in our Playbar again. It immediately produced a very annoying high pitched sound. A complete reset to factory settings including reinstalling the sonos app did not help.Yesterday I contacted sonos support in The Netherlands via live chat. They sent me an email with ticket number, requesting a video with clearly audible high pitched sound. From the email, it was not clear how and where to submit the video and the email address it was sent from appears to be no longer in use. The high pitched sound from the Playbar is a known problem, but it looks like sonos is not interested in supporting older speakers. Very disappointing and unsustainable. 

I saw that this problem happened in the past (Nov) and has been resolved. However, I have tried to have SONOS play amazon music for 3 days now and could not get it to work. Music will play for a couple of seconds then stops with an error message-- “not coded correctly” or “cannot add to list”, or “amazon connection is lost”. I tried several things including re-authorize account and it did not work, May play a song or two then the same error mesg popped. In the meantime, play music on amazon app. seems working. checked and there is no service outage on amazon.  Submitted a diagnostic request #  3847523

Hi guys,  I'm currently running 2 x play 5s (2nd gen) and 1 sonos sub all at once, I have just purchased a sonos one to add treble to my tv set up but I can't link it all into 1 room, needs to be in a separate room, I use the plays 5x 2 and sub into the TV via an aux.  ANY help would be great.  Regards Saad 

We have had Sonos for a long time. Have a Sonos 1 speaker, a 2nd generation CONNECT and a new SONOS MOVE speaker. We just purchased a new turntable, audio-technica AT-LP120XBT-USB and want to add it to our system. We have had a CONNECT 2ND generation and I was told it is workable with the new S2 Sonos app. Trying to set it up but S2 app not finding my CONNECT, HELP!

Hi there,I’m having issues with multi-room and was curious if anyone can help me?I’ve had a Play:1 and One speaker for some time and received an additional One for Christmas. Since adding the new speaker I am unable to play all three simulatenouly (via the Sonos App & Spotify Connect) The problem seems to be with the older One Speaker in my Dining Room.My set up is as follows:Play:1 (Bathroom) One (Kitchen) *Newest Addtion* One (Dining Room) When I select all three rooms in the app they appear to be connected but my Dining Room doesn’t play any sound. However, as soon as I disconnect one of the three, the Dining Room starts playing again after 5 or so seconds. Same vice-versa - I’ll have the Kitchen and Dining Room synced and then as soon as a re-add the Bathroom, the Dining Room stops after 5 seconds. I have tried Airplay and all 3 work perfectly, but surely this can’t be the only solution?They’re all on the latest update and I’ve factory reset them and the problem still persits.

Hi!I’ve been getting problems with my system the last month. 1 x  playbar & 2 x play:1Now I have the situation where in my router network map, sees the SonosZP but cannot access from any of the iOS or MacOS apps. do you have any suggestions? 

Both device on the same wifi when I go to my system on the iPhone its only sees the Move, on the ipad it only sees the Beam. I can AirPlay to both device from either device. Alexa works fine on both.I have tried reboot the Sonos devices. Everything is updated. IPhone 12, IPad Pro(2020) Any ideas?

Hello, I’ve tried troubleshooting through Reddit, etc. but am either at the point where I have to return the TV or the Arc.   Sonos Arc hooked up to Sony X90CH - both only a couple of weeks old.  When streaming from native apps on the TV, the sound will drop out randomly and i have to turn the TV on and off to get it to work. This is happning through the Android TV - no other items hooked up right now.I’ve submitted multiple diagnostics, so hoping a Sonos rep will engage so we can attempt to see if it’s the Arc or TV.  Diagnostics: 2052993423 I didn’t get a screenshot of the other.
