I’ve changed my wifi password using iphone app for S1. Tried to play music and a pop-up notice advised it can’t find server. On my mac, I’ve opened S1 app and no music library just pop-up box headed sonos set-up; existing or new. I selected connect to existing but it states system not found. I’m unable to connect an ethernet cable as have 3 amps with entwined wiring in the wall and my router and bridge are not close enough. I’ve updated my sonos when I’ve changed my wifi password before. Don’t understand why this is so different. Before I throw my sonos in the bin, are there other options?

I have a Sonos Symfonisk, AirPlay2 compatible speaker in my Kitchen (and other Sonos speakers in other rooms)The room is called “Kitchen”In the Apple Home app, the Kitchen speaker is also in a room named “Kitchen”I play music to the speaker sometimes through the Sonos app, sometimes from AirPlay from an apple device (iOS 14.2)I notice that the speaker name keeps changing from “Kitchen” to “Kitchen Speaker” after a day or soI don’t want it called “Kitchen Speaker”, I just want it called “Kitchen” so that the Airplay2 controls show it as a speaker with name “Kitchen”. The name “Kitchen Speaker” is too long and doesn’t look good in the AirPlay2 controls.Why does the name keep changing?Is it because the device has the same name as the room? 

I have multiple speakers. In an attempt to reduce “bouncing” I invested in a Boost which I have connected to a TP Deco mesh main unit from the router etcin other rooms I have a Deco slave unit.Should I be connecting my other speakers to the Deco via cable or not?The bouncing does not seem so bad but now music occasionally drops.  Any advice or an idiots guide of what I should be doing would be much appreciated.   

Hi,For 6 months now one of my Sonos One speakers has been rebooting itself during playback. Playback stops, the white LED pulsates on and off, and the music playback does *not* resume.I use either Spotify Connect or via AirPlay from my iPhone. I have three Sonos One speaker and a Playbase/Sub combo, and this specific Sonos One is the only speaker that reboots itself.  In my opinion, the volume level seems to be a factor, although this is an observation rather than a scientific measurement.My apartment is a single floor, open plan layout, and my AmpliFi Router HD base station is located close to the centre of the apartment, meaning that no device is more than 6-7 metres (20-23 feet) away (as measured straight line, ignoring any walls). My AmpliFi reports the following information about this Sonos Speaker:  Signal: 83%, Rx Bitrate: 48.00 Mbps, Tx Bitrate: 24.00 Mbps.This morning it happened again, and within 5 minutes I submitted a diagnostic, which has reference number 647034020.  The r

I”m a network technician.   I have 16 sonos speakers, some wired, some wireless, some paired, some singles.  Just added, Part of this collection is a playbar, sub, two Play 1’s .   Network is 4 point mesh system, three remote wifi are ethernet backhauled.  No speakers are more the 20 feet from a wifi point, or are wired direct into a ethernet switch.  Gigabit internet connection, but I play 90% of my music from my 8 bay Synology NAS.I am having a TERRIBLE time with this system now.  Songs skip frequently before completing.  It is maddening.  Rarely is a full song played.Also, possibly related, possibly not, when I group all of the speakers together to play ‘whole house’  it can take 5 min before some of the speaker come on.  Sometimes if I move the collective volume slider up or down, the remaining will pop on.Diagnostics:  Your confirmation number is: 2099408113 Many thanks,StephenCary, NC  

Hi,  We got 4 sonos player 1 speakers in the flat. Since December 2019 when using sonos the songs skip to the next song before finishing (this occours with Spotify, YouTube Music and Sound cloud through the sonos app). E.g. We can't search and play a spesific song without the song skip before being played through. If we liste to a channel or radio through sonos it normally works fine so it has something to do with the app and not interference. We also tried to play sonos directly from Spotify to the speakers without the app and it seem to work fine. In other words it is the app and not the wifi that is the problem.  I have Sony phone that I use and my girlfriend has an Iphone. We have used the same phones for a year now and the problem started in December.  We are also having trouble with getting all 4 speakers to play at the same time. Strangely, the speaker next to the wifi is the one with the most trouble and the one furter aways normally got connection. We have tried to re-install

Sonos thinks I upgraded to Sonos 2, but I didn't. Now it won't recognize my older speakers. I deleted my Sonos 1 apps, and re-loaded them. The icons clearly say Sonos 1, but the app still claims that my Play 1 and my Sonos Connect Amp are incompatible. How do I fix this?

I just joined the Sonos community and set up a pair of One SLs in my living room and linked them as a stereo pair (Will connect to Arc and Sub for surround sound once they arrive). I purchased the Amp (connected to turntable and bookshelf Paradigm speakers) so I could stream my vinyl from the basement up to the living room. I started spinning a record and attempted to have it play on the SLs but no audio came out. When I unlinked the SLs as a stereo pair, the audio worked and came out of both SLs equally. Is there a reason the amp the won’t stream to a stereo pair of speakers? This would be disappointing as I would want to keep the SLs as a stereo pair for the surround sound, but also want to listen to vinyl. Don’t want to have to unpair every time!

Sonos Play:1 had a solid orange led this morning, unplugged, plugged back in and only a solid dim white light immediately and doesn't appear to be booting up and not able to see in the android controller? Diagnostic submitted 207883978

Play 5 gen 1, Play One gen 1 and Sonos One gen 2 PC Windows 10 is searching for Sonos system. This could be following updating today. I’ve uninstalled the program on the PC and downloaded it again. I’ve pressed the volume and play button on the Play One, been told the PC is connected to my system but it still can’t find the system, it is searching.Having rebooted the router yet again my Samsung phone kept losing the system but seems to have settled.Play 5 “got lost” but is now on the system, having had to use a LAN cable.Over three weeks ago we had a new Sky Q router and this didn’t affect things. The PC is connected via LAN to the router. There is also a wifi signal from the new Sky Q! TV box and a booster but this PC is “hardwired” .I’ve turned everything off and then on again ie reboot PC, phone and router.Clicking on “System Support” gives gobbledygook.I usually use the PC so this is just so frustrating!! Can anyone help please as I’ve been so pleased with my Sonos but this is caus

Soundbar white light not working but I have sound. Have reset but still no light? Any ideas?

I have a Sonos Amp + 4 x Monitor Audio C165 In-Ceiling Speakers. 2 speakers in one room and 2 in another.is it possible to split the rooms so I can have 1 room play music and the other off. I only seem to be able to control them both together as they are grouped under the one room.

Hejsajeg kører med S1app og pludselig er alle mine højtaler forsvundet.jeg har prøvet alle jeres fejlfindingsmetoder og har nu fået ca det halve af produkterne tilbage på min app. Men resten vil bare ikke - mangler pt. 1 stk soundbar, 2 stk symphoni, 1 stk play 5, 2 stk play 1, 1 stk subdet er som om at jeg kan finde enhederne men det falder af igen under konfiguration app styres via iPad/iPhone iOS 14.2 og alt er opdateret.

Anyone else noticed and very annoyed by the missing buttons in v12.2.2 (at least on iOS & Android)? If I search within my services and load an album/playlist that way, I can still play/shuffle play. But those two CORE FUNCTIONS have gone missing when playlists/albums are selected from Recently Played. Which renders ‘Recently Played’ essentially useless.

I cannot add my sonos connect that I bought in 2017, I followed all the instructions, factory reset, update, hard wired, etc and all I get is an error code 1008

I am unable to connect my Play 5 gen 1 to bridge, line in also does not work.  The chime works when I press mute or volume but that is all.  The lights flash green but sometimes are just steady amber.  I have tried rebooting, factory reset, direct ethernet connection - nothing works.

This is happening more often than not now and seems to be a common issue on here. The chime often plays instead of radio. When manually turning on the radio channel there are no issues with it starting.Diagnostic number is 1767545854.

Hello My diagnostics report number is: 1482044825 The left output and LFE sub channel on my Sonos Amp is not working properly. The problem started today after I did some rewiring around my house and reconnected the amp. Due to this problem I have tried hard resetting the Amp and the app, with no luck.  Left and LFE channel does not work with Line in. I have verified that my PC is not the problem as I tried a different amplifier and both channels worked. The only way to get both speakers working is if I run the amp in Mono mode, but I don’t want that. I want to use stereo. The speakers are not the problem since I tried them on a different amp. Both speakers work while using Spotify or any other streaming WITHIN the Sonos app, but the subwoofer output channel does not work in any mode I try.  I verified that the balance on both my PC and Sonos was on 0, so both channels should be working. Sonos AMP is simply not accepting the LEFT channel signal I tried with different cables, made

Room (on new Amp) appears on some S2 apps but not on others? All hardware up to date. Reinstalled S2 app and the problem persisted. What’s going on?

I am having issues with my Sonos Play 3 and the S2 app on the iPhone. The Play 3 is in my garage which borders my family room where my Fios router is. I have a Boost connected via Ethernet to the router.  When I am using the S2 app in the garage, the app says I’m not connected to WiFi (even though the phone itself is still connected to WiFi.) I can’t search on Spotify within the app, and I can’t control the Play 3’s volume. As soon as I go through the door into the house, the app reconnects and works normally. I’ve tried factory resetting all of the speakers and the boost. I’ve also tried resetting my router. I’ve tried changing the wireless channel for SonosNet  I also tried changing the wireless channel settings on my router from automatic to manual. Nothing has helped   How do I solve this problem? thanks,Rich

I have a Sonos setup with Port and Play1. It worked fine until I changed my email adress on Sonos. Suddenly no sound came through the port. The network is okay, cables are ok, and the port shows normally in my Sonos app. I do get music through the Play 1, bu not the Port

I want to set up two subs in my living room surround sound, can this be done?

Hello,I have a Sonos Play base and every time I try to set up the Play base on the app my wireless connection is not picking up. I’ve tried factory reset and unplugging the Play base but still no luck.I also bought the Sonos boost since it has its own Sonos wifi connecting the boost to my Wifi router but still no luck again & its not picking up my Play base to set it up in the app.I need help on solving this problem it has been going on for a while!  

I recently purchased the port component to integrate my 5 speakers surround system with Sonos.  Set up was easy - problem I am having is only two of my five speakers are playing (the front two).  I confirmed via other sources that all five speakers work fine so its something going on with the port.  To confirm, the port should be able to stream all five speakers, correct? My receiver is set up as “Stereo” which normally would play all speakers in harmony (not surround sound).  Appreciate any assistance with this!
