Hi,I’ve found something that could be named a bug in the indexing of Sonos IMHO. Having two classical music albums with exactly the same name ‘Domenico Scarlatti: Sonatas’ but played by two different artists ‘Angela’ and ‘Racha’. Both albums have been correctly tagged.  I’ve noticed that ;Only Angela’s album is listed under Album Searching under composer ‘Domenico Scarlatti’, nothing from Racha shows up. Searching under Artist, Racha and her album does show up.Changing name of one album solves the problem. Strange isn’t it ?Hope this helps others.BTW, I have the 11.2.13 app on a Sonos S1 system. 

Own LG 65SJ850A 65” UHD TV, Beam and Play 1 surrounds and never could get ARC connection to Beam to work and used optical, until now. Thought I’d share.LG HDMI bus is challenged by CEC devices attached to HDMI (Beam, Apple TV, HDMI switch, Sony Blu ray, etc). You need to turn off CEC (power-on) on for each device AND on the LG in a well hidden menu. If a device is attached with CEC enabled on any other HDMI port, HDMI2/ARC will fail and disable the Beam. Maybe later LG models have a better CEC implementation. On the LG TV there are 3 volume indicators on the right of the screen when volume up/down on remote is pressed. If you get a numeric display with numbers, that is the LG internal speaker indicator. If you get a smaller +/- arrow display that is the HDMI2/ARC output, if you get grey circle with a slash, the TV speakers and ARC are dead but optical maybe enabled. Your goal is the +/- arrow volume indicator. For the LG, there is a difference between configuring audio in the All Setti

When trying to select my playlists on the LivePhish app on Sonos, it says unable to browse music.  This is happening on just the playlists as all other parts of the app are working fine.  And also when I go to the actual LivePhish app, the playlists work fine there.  Any help?

Dear all,Since few weeks, I have a problem with my Connect : with Deezer, each songs lose sound between around the 30 last seconds and the 10 last seconds… I tried to disconnect electrically several times but the problem remains…Do you experiment the same problem ?Any idea how to solve it ? Thanks a lot for your help,Vincent

All the player plays fine audio 5.1 , but not 7.1. Whay can I do? Thankyou

I just purchased the beam.  On four different occasions during normal use it has produced a loud, near deafening sound that does not stop until the power is cut.  It is sure to have/or soon will damage the speaker.Anybody had this problem? Solution?Also, the beam frequently does not produce audio and I have to exit a netflix show three or four times (and re-enter)  to get the audio to start working. Audio also disappears sometimes when I pause a show for a bit and unpause it…..

A year has passed since I originally posted this question:Recently, I tried editing My Sonos to remove the Tidal Playlists section. My plan was to re-add then check if the above issue had been fixed.However, I find no way to do this. “Edit My Sonos” has options to rearrange and delete “Long press to rearrange the content. Tap the delete icon to remove”. How to add my Tidal Playlists section back into My Sonos?

Hi all, this is a duplicate of my previous post which got closed before I could resolve the issue. I’ve also added steps I have taken since that post.—————————Hi everyone, I was hoping to see if anyone had run into the same issue as me on my Roam, and if so if they were able to resolve the issue.The first time I start a playing session with Spotify Connect, the song I choose to play starts playing about half-way through. However, the progress bar in the Spotify app starts from the start of the song - so there is a disconnect between the actual audio of the song and what is shown in the app.If I manually drag the progress back to the start, the audio and the progress bar sync perfectly to the start of the song.A couple of other observations:This only happens with the first song played after connecting to the Roam with Spotify Connect within the Spotify app This only happens with Spotify connect. The Sonos app, Airplay etc all work as expected. About 1/10 times the Spotify Connect doesn’

As I impatiently await an update about why Apple Music can no longer be used as a service on Android devices, why does Sonos radio skip? Anyone else noticed this? When I listen to Sonos Hits radio for example, every song will skip for about 1-2 seconds cutting out the song. It skips at exactly the same bit each time to the point that you get to know each individual songs ''bit to skip" and you begin to expect it when listening to the song out with Sonos radio. It's not random skips which makes me think it's not my Wi-Fi. Can't use Apple to listen to their non skipping radio stations and now this.......quality products??

Hi all:I have a Vizio TV (model name: D65-F1; version: 2.70.33-1) and a Sonos Arc. The only other device in my ecosystem is my Comcast cable box.Sometimes the audio cuts out, sometimes the picture cuts out, sometimes both cut out at the same time. Sometimes when these issues are occurring, the TV remote is unresponsive.I’ve had the Arc for a year and didn’t have an issue until the last few weeks. I’m not sure what could have changed.I have tried running just the TV and Sonos together (while streaming Netflix or Amazon Prime) and have no issues. I have tried just the TV and the cable box together and have no issues.But put the three together and problems ensue. I have tried a CEC-less adapter at each end of the HDMI cable running between the cable box and the TV, and I’ve tried simultaneously having such an adapter at each end. I’ve toggled on the TV menu under the CEC option between “Enabled” and “Arc Only,” also to no avail.I have also done factory resets on the TV and the Sonos (whic

I’ve had a Sonos Beam / Sonos One(x2) system for about 3 years. Everything has been fine until recently when every 15 minutes or so a high frequency noise will emit from the left rear speaker for about 5 seconds. It is very irritating. I have unplugged it and plugged it back in with no improvement. Someone posted an identical issue 4 years ago (now closed) with no resolution. Per responses to that, I do not have an extension cord with an on/off switch, but did swap it out anyway. I am in Spain, so it’s 220v. Should I do a total reset of the speaker?DISREGARD. I UNPLUGGED THE SPEAKER AND I NOW THINK IT IS COMING FROM MY COMPUTER.   

I'm having issues with choppy TV audio, it drops out for a split second every few seconds. Sometimes it's the playbar dropping, sometimes the One SL surrounds.  Playbar is wired and surrounds and sub are wireless. Diagnostic ID is 485431841. I've tried removing the speakers and re-adding, rebooting router etc, but it's not helped. Generally happens with Netflix, but also happens with Amazon, Apple TV etc. TV is LG C9 if that matters.

Can someone please confirm what Roku models actually support Atmos, including support for the commonly used services as well? (Netflix, HBO Max, etc.)  Please respond based on your own personal experience. I’ve already reviewed Roku’s website and literature and it’s not clearly obvious. I’m trying to decide if I need to change streaming platforms as I have an Arc arriving soon and I’ll be picking up an Arcana device as my TV doesn’t support earc or DD+. (2015 Sony) Thank you. 

Hi everyone, Got a Asus RT-AX82U router and after upgrading firmware to Version 3.0.0.4.386.45934, my Sonos stopped working and there was no chance to re-connect the Sonos and or the speakers.the only solution is to downgrade the firmware back to Version 3.0.0.4.386.45898.The system re-connected and my Sonos works excellent again.Please check Asus website and download downgrade/router rescue app from Asus to be able to downgrade.Goodluck.

I have a system with 6 Sonos Ones operating around my house, running over a Netgear Orbi mesh network. Recently one of the speakers stopped working, and dropped off the network completely. Both lights on the top of the missing speaker are lit white indicating that it is on the network but it doesn’t show up in the sonos app or on the Orbi app as connected. I suspected an issue with the mesh network and worked through all of those issues to no avail. I have searched through all of the forum postings and not found a solution that works to bring it back. At this point I suspect a hardware problem. Diagnostic #: 1837407629 

Hi,I have a Sonos Arc, Sonos One rear speakers and a sub.I have an issue that on occasions when I adjust the volume the sound starts to break and continues to do this unless I turn off and on at the plug .advice and help to resolve this would be appreciated 

Hi,I’ve noticed this problem on certain Netflix shows and it seems related to Dolby (Atmos). I know I can’t get Atmos to the Playbar due to its optical connection and I’m perfectly happy with the sound other than this subtle, but annoying, issue.  Any suggestions?

I have a problem when I listen to a lot of music.I usually listen to radio 3 programme: through the night, all night, every night when I go to bed on sonos speakers.I sometimes listen to 4 or 5 albums through the day, streamed on apple music, either through speakers wired to a tablet, or on sonos speakers.I might watch a chess video or bbc catch up on a laptop through the day as well.I find that if I use the internet a lot, I get the error: sonos unable to connect.I don’t get this message, if I cut back on internet usage.If I leave it a while, sonos comes back eventually.I currently have fibre 65 on talktalk. If I upgrade to virgin media fibre M200, is this likely to solve the problem? I don’t want to change my provider if it is unnecessary. I don’t really need the extra speed; I just want a more reliable internet.Thanks

A few weeks ago my Sonos setup ( 2x Play 5’s) lost the music library which is on my Drobo ( I don’t know why) I have managed to set the path to the music library ( off topic but why isn’t this easy? Why can’t I simply browse to it?) but when I press to update the index on my iPhone it goes grey for a second but then nothing happens. If try to update on my Mac it beachballs forever until I give up. ( over 24hours) If I try to update on my PC the Music Library on the desktop app says its indexing but then it stops after a second and nothing happens. My library is quite large but still way under the track limit. I don’t know what to do to try to get this working again ( had years of pain free setup prior to this) Any ideas?

Do I need to make changes on my Sony 950g? watching Netflix 4k service Marvels Iron Fist. The movie description says it plays in Atmos, but I’m not seeing it on my Atmos App. Thank you 🙏 

My Sonos 1 system has lost the second speaker and I can’t re-install it because I need Android 10 or above on my Nexus 7 device, purchased as part of the original system installation.  But the Nexus 7 only has Android 6.0.1 on it and can’t upgrade to give me the add/remove feature I need.  Nor can Sonos download the original version of software which supports Android 6.0.1.  Is there anyone out there that can provide me a copy of the software or a get around please?  I don’t see why i need to purchase another mobile device when everything else is working ok.  Thank you

Hi there-i have five sonos amps, an arc, a sub, and several wireless speakers.  We have a repeating problem with one sub only, and which appears to be something a lot of other customers are dealing with.  The problem is that I get a loud pop sound followed by a loss of all audio in that zone until the power is cycled.  I ran a diagnostic report just now and that number is 237153753.  the amp is connected to two sonance speakers in ceiling and hard wired.  Two other zones were playing the same music last time the problem occurred and only the one zone had the issue.  That’s the same zone which had the issue before and the only one to have that problem so far.   Thanks in advance.  

Hello,My Sonos Play 3 has out of nowhere just stopped working, does not power on at all, no lights. Was working fine throughout christmas. Annoying.Just spoke to someone on the chat and advised it was a power on failure?Is this a common fault? As my brothers Play 1 experienced the same thing?I wasnt given much help apart from 15% off via the upgrade progamme.But i wouldnt expect a product like this to have such a short life span. If this suddenly happened with the rest of my sonos system this would be a very expensive upgrade.Is there any other options available or a repair?Hope you can helpThanks 

Repeat All issue / Duration 

Hi, I just want to inform others that the latest firmware for ASUS RT-AX58U, released on the 26th ofNovember, will make the Sonos speakers stop working (Confirmed on Play:1 and Play3).I have tried to factory reset the speakers and reconfigure them but without success.I don’t exactly know what is causing this, but a roll back to previous firmware resolved the issue.
