I have the Sonos beam, and was using two play 1's for surround. Bought two Ikea symponisk book shelf speakers to add to the system. Got them to connect and finally play audio from the tv, but they would not sync with volume controls. Been at it for hours now. Removed the play ones and was able to get the Ikea ones to be the rears to the beam, but now I can't get the play ones to reconnect. Also can not get or find true play to tune the speakers. Anyone have any idea on how to fix this. Looked at YouTube and non of the things they do show up on the S2 app. 

I’m using an Apple TV remote. Used to be able to control sound on my playbar but about a week ago it stopped. Paired it again using the sonos app and it works for about a second but as soon as the sonos app closes it stops. Same with my Samsung remote. Now sometimes it doesn’t pair. What happened? This is super annoying. Also, there’s no way to contact support just community. Is there anyone who can help with this? 

In the bedrooms we have sonos  Ones with alexa which all work fine.  Downstairs we have ceiling speakers powered by a sonos Connect amp, which is connected wifi to a sonos boost. Downstairs, we can play two or three songs then the music stops. happens on all streaming services, spotify, apple etc. happens all the time. any ideas please (and please keep the solution as un-technical as possible!!)   thanks  

First let me say everything is working.I had two Sonos Amps and a Sonos Sub connected to Wifi and setup as front and rear TV speakers. All connected wirelessly.Now, I just connected the two Sonos Amps to each other with an ethernet cord and then a single ethernet cord from Amp to an ethernet switch which is connected to eero router. Sonos “About My System” shows WM:0 for both Amps as well as the Sonos Sub. Mind you the Sub has no ethernet cable connected to it. Everything works. I know, I consider myself lucky. :)My curosity comes from how Sonos is reporting the WM:0 and how it is reported in the eero app. It shows as a wireless connection, and also on the details page shows the “Sonos” wifi network. Kind of cool! (Screenshots below)So my questions are…why don’t the Sonos speakers show up as wired?Is there a way to confirm the wired setup beyond the “WM:0”?Should disable wifi in each of the Amps? (not really sure why this setting even exists...) Thanks!  

I’ve bought a new NAS Synology DS-220+.I want it to be a source for my Sonos Music Libray.When i want to add the path to a folder of this new NAS, i receive a “error message 900”.I precisely executed the instructions found on the Sonos support site (IRPStackSize).It doesn’t work. any idea ?(Please note that if i try to add a folder on my old NAS, it works fine !)

My 1st Generation system worked fine for 9 years then suddenly couldn't find my system components. Boot-up of the controller suddenly took 20 minutes. I use my Mac desktop for the controller. I hardwired the Bridge direct to the computer and the S5 Speaker, and still couldn't find the system. I hardwired the Router direct to the computer and speaker, still couldn't find the system. Reset controller and can't find sysytem. Checked Network, Firewall, Password and still can't find system. I understand that Sonos no longer supports these legacy components, but all components seem to function properly, and Company CEO says system lock-out won't happen. Anybody have any ideas of what else to check for?

I have a Play 1 that started having intermittent connectivity issues. If I unplugged it and plugged it back in it was sometimes recognized but after time there is no light and it no longer will be recognized. I tried the factory reset to no avail. It’s past warrany and I’m wondering if this is now a black paperweight?

Has Sonos and LG solved the audio synch issue with OLED TV’s?

Our Sonos SL keeps loosing the internet connection after not used a couple of hours. Works again after unplugging and plugging in again, but it is kind of uncomfortable. Tried using the connect button, but it seems it doesn’t restore the connection. If it’s the problem solver, how long should it be pressed in order to work? 

the newest app on my iphone, only use the Apple Tv as source.  Tv set to external speakers.  Put Apple to sleep last night as usual, this morning no sound.  Apps played, reset including power on all components.  App kept just showing Music.  Finally saw the output from Sony ARC port to the Beam

Hello all!So this is a super weird issue. I have had 4 SYMFONISK Sono speakers for about 18 months now. These speakers have been phenomenal and have never given my any issues… until today.Today I noticed that when I opened the Sonos App, it said that it could not connect to Sonos and the icons were all just the pulsating gray loading color. I gave it a few hours because I wasn't using them and it never fixed itself (I assumed it was wifi issues).I then went through and reset all 4 of my speakers and created a new “system” on the same wifi network.Now after doing that, I began playing music and only 2 minutes into the first song the music stopped and I began experiencing the SAME issues. This issue also included my products missing under the “System” option in the settings. I have been closing and reopening the apple for some time now and now one of my stereo pairs went from not existing to being “Bedroom (L+?)”. I am not sure why it keeps disconnecting from the products that I JUST con

Is there a specific amount of latency when plugging a source into the line-in on a play:5?Considering plugging a DJ into a play:5 so that the play:5 acts as the local “monitor” and ideally needs to have very low latency.The next scenario is then “grouping” other speakers to distribute this audio around the home…. I presume this will then add latency to the whole system so that all Sonos units are in sync.…So are there specific details on the amount of latency (in ms) involved? Is it system dependent, does it actually have latency regardless of whether it is grouped or not?

Hi, I have recently upgraded the SONOS app and added Amazon music, after a day the sound on one sonos one speaker (there are 5) is poor, sounding very muffled. I am about to add a Sonos port to the system, but I’d rather clear the sound issue, assuming I can before I add it. I have read other posts about similar issues but very few show a resolution, any advice ?CheersJohn

I just purchased a Sonos Move to use in my bedroom and want to connect it via bluetooth 5.0 transmitter from Amazon that is plugged into my projector:https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B013ULOP10/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1How do I get the move to connect automatically to the bluetooth transmitter?The blue flashing lights on both the move and transmitter just keep flashing blue...

So I restarted the Sonos One by disconnecting the power cable from the socket. When put back in no power to it. No lights, no connections…I tried the cable from the other working Sonos one. Nothing.  Any ideas? To me it looks like the PS inside is not working, or am I missing something.    

HiI am having constant problems with streamed music and radio dropping out.  This is particulary prevalent in the mornings.  I usually group  a Sonos 5 (1st Gen) and a Sonos Move in the morning, the drop outs happen on both speakers at the same time.  I have tried changing the wireless network channels on my router, but this does not solve the issue.Some days are worse then others.  This morning (16th December 2020) it was cutting out every couple of minutes for 10 seconds or so.Any help appreciated.ThanksSteve 

I lost my connection to Sonos.  Now, when I try to connect with my iPhone, I get the Existing System Not Found message and when I ‘press and release’ the button nothing happens.  When I try to access Sonos from my tablet I get the ‘Sorry, we can connect to Sonos’ message.  I’ve tried resetting the router: still nothing.  Any ideas?

I am trying to find a way of playing music from my iPhone via my Sonos One speaker at a location where cellular data is available but there is no LAN or internet connectivity available via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Is it possible to use a Sonos One on a closed network without internet connectivity? Or does Airplay necessarily rely on being able to connect to the Sonos cloud? If so, exactly what hardware do I need to create a Wi-Fi signal that I can use to connect to the speaker via Airplay? Or is there a way I can turn a cellular data signal into a Wi-Fi signal and for it to behave like a regular local area WI-Fi network?

I have a 2 room system. In the kitchen i have a Sonos One. It’s the speaker that is the furthest away from the router. About 5 meters and a thick stone wall in between. In the livingroom I have s Sub and 2 Symfonisk. They all stand within a 1-2 meter radius from the router. These 3 keeps loosing the sound. While playing music on the whole system the kitchen works fine but the speakers closest to the router keeps loosing the connection. What is wrong?

Our Sonos system is about 2 years old and includes a Connect which Chanel’s our stereo system and two Sonos Ones. I found the old system finicky, but this new System 2 is even worse. The Connect will connect to our wireless network briefly and then lose it. It is close to a Roku that is wireless and with with we have very few connection problems unless there is heavy internet traffic. I have updated the components of the new system and keep reinstalling the Connect. But it will not stay connected. Very frustrating!! Help!

Static noise coming from Sonos. Diagnostic report number 324301701

I have a Linksys Velop Mesh system in my home connected to my Xfinity modem. I also have a guest network for a separate access point for the tenants in the adjoining duplex.  My Sonos system can’t see the primary network created by the mesh system. On other threads people have suggested going into ‘bridge’ mode in order for Sonos to be able to see the mesh network. But as I understand it, bridge mode would close the separate access point I created for my tenants and put us all on the same access point. Is there an alternative to ‘bridge mode’ for Sonos to be able to see my mesh network without losing my other access point to bridge mode?

My Symfonisk made a random noise when we weren’t using it. It only lasted a second or so and sounded like interference. A few minutes later it happened. After it happening three times I unplugged the Sonos but it strangely still happened after it was unplugged. The diagnostic number is 987395047. Would anyone be able to tell me what’s going on? 

Hello all, I have a play 3 that has disappeared from my sonos network all of a sudden.  The flashing light-type is not familiar. It is a quick blip-flash, not the normal, steady flashing white light I have dealt with now and then over the years.  I have gone as far as attempting a full factory reset to defaults by unplugging and holding the mute button while re-plugging back in to no avail.  I have also had an ethernet cable connected directly during troubleshooting.  I am suspecting a bad power supply.  Any other suggesstions?  And if replacement parts might be needed, is it worth it?  This play 3 I’m guessing is around 7-8 years old

Hi all. So I got the Sonos one(three of them) and the sub. I did the initial setup and all was good. One day the app wouldn’t connect to Sonos and now I have tried reconnecting all of the products… it always says… product it isn’t shown.. unplug and replug to finish setup. I have connected all to WiFi (same network) I unplug and plug back in… still undiscoverable.  When I initially set it up it asked what room it was in and all that. Now it lets me add system… I hear the thing, connect to WiFi successfully….then nothing. Please let me know if you have had this issue. I have the arc in the way and am currently unable to enjoy my system.
