I’ve tried everything and nothing will make sound go from turntable to speaker. Please help!!!!

Hi All. I have two Five paired stereos. I have been using one for a long time and decided to buy another one. This is where the problem begins. The newer Five has an audible difference in sound from the older one, there is hardly any bass, compared to the older one. The EQ and Trueplay settings do not change anything. Is it normal? Maybe the newer speaker needs time to start playing like the older one? The difference is really audible. P.S. I used the translator for this post. I dont speak English very well:)

Our Sonos One has been decreasing it's volume on its own and I cannot locate where it is being turned down from..I submitted a diagnostic like I saw suggested in similar topics. The number is 1936062066 Cheers

Hi folks, I am trying (and failing) to get my system to recognize my Sonos Boost. The Boost is not a new device. It has been used by this network before. I have been running my Sonos system on my regular Wi-Fi router network, but I want to go back to using my Boost. My system:Four Sonos OnesSonos BeamSonos SubSonos Boost My wireless router is an Arris. It has two distinct bands, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.  Which Sonos devices do you already have? Four Sonos Ones, a Beam, Sub and Boost Is one of them cabled to your router? Not when I am running in standard mode, but yes (Boost only) when the Boost is providing the network. What is the make and model of your router? Arris TG1682 Do you use any WiFi Extenders? No (unless you count the Boost as one) Which controller device are you trying to do this from (where is the app installed)? On my iPhone. I use the original Sonos app.Error message: Not connected (See screenshot)Steps taken:Tried to add Boost via S1 app; followed all instructions  Checked t

Happy New Year :)As per title, Amazon music (Family) has started over the last week to skip on every track after 5-30seconds.  This happens on all Play:One speakers.  Other services don’t seem to be effected - currently listening to my library via iBroadcast with zero issues.Diagnostics from this morning: 1975614706All looks fine on the network which is Netgear Orbi based with three statellites - i’m using Sonos with that network as it’s solid with good coverage on all speakers.Help appreciated as the Amazon situation is really annoying.  Tracks play fine from the amazon app

I was watching TV when suddenly the Playbar stopped working. I can play music through my Playbar via the Sonos app, but am getting no sound from the tv. Oddly enough, when I use the volume controls on my remote (Harmony One), volume down button registers (white light) with the Playbar, but not volume up. Any ideas what the problem is? Thanks in advance. 

My music folder on the PC has 200-250 albums, my Sonos indexes this folder with no problem at all, well it did until the last few days. I have now ripped 4 new Cd’s, copied them into said music folder and ran “Update Music Library Now”. Two of the four Cd’s have appeared with album name, artwork, track info etc, the other two are nowhere to be seen within the Sonos environment. I can “see” all four albums using file explorer, I can play all four albums using VLC, so why did the “update music library” miss out two CD’s?I have ran “update music library” numerous times, but to no avail. Can anybody help?

Gen 1.  Have had so many troubles with it that I stopped using it for long stretches.  Trying again and now the only thing I can get out of it is an orange light on front when I connect a USB C charger (base doesn’t work).  Factory reset instructions did nothing. No other combination of buttons gets any response.*** EDIT: It’s a ROAM, not a BEAM.  My frustration level is causing me confusion LOL. ***Thanks,DK

Hi all,yesterday I’ve changed my wifi (router and internet provider) at home.If I open the sonos app from my phone the “System” voice is greyed out (see image below, sorry for the italian).The alert I see (“impossibile trovare il Sonos System”) does not fix the problem: it can find my sonos device, I push the back button but the it can’t find the device.Another problem is that I have the old wifi but without internet adn if I try to connect my phone to the old wifi I can select “System” and try to change the wifi connection of my Sonos envirorment but the procedure stops when the app checks it the the app itself is updated. This is frustrating.I’ve also tried to reset the Sonos One device: 1. unplug the power; 2. press the back button; 3. keep pressing the back button while plugging the power. Nothing. Any suggestion?can you please help me?   

I have a Playbar from 2015 that suddenly stopped working. The white light is solid when plugged in but doesn’t react to any type of reset. I’ve tried the hard reset but the white light stays on. I’ve spoken twice to Sonos customer service and have tried everything. They told me there’s nothing that can be done and that the Playbar software is essentially broken and that I have to buy a new one. I’ve even tried restarting with an ethernet cable plugged in but without success. Any further ideas or is it just a dead piece of electronic now? 

Hi we have an arc sub and rears in living room and a pair of Sonos Ones in bedroom. Asus Router and Ai mesh system. Randomly individual items disconnect or drop out for no apparent reason. Internet is fines, Wifi appears stable ? 

Hello, i have issues with Sonos One SL and wi-fi: the speaker disconnecting after 5,10,15 min, no matter. Wired it works fine. After disconnecting i must reboot speaker or just connect it to internet cable. I try change wi-fi channel on sonos app, change channels on router config - no luck. I think, that Sonos lost wi-fi connection, when around is others networks. My friend have same issues with two speakers. After he move to village, where is no others network around - problem gone. I use tp-link3600 with latest dd-wrt drivers. diagnostic number: 1563495517. thanks,

I consistently get this error whenever I try to change any audio source or change roomsI can change volume for the existing selections onlyI have 5 amps and if I power cycle all the amps I am able to make changesBut only one selection will work after the reboot and then its back to the same problemI have Sonos OS S1 

Hi folks, I've looked at many threads on the topic of low volume. I have already looked at all the resistors in the small circuit that is for the amplifiers and measured them. They are all ok.Except for the Mosfet (Q27621), I don't know how to measure it and what kind of results have to come out. Can you help me with this?And where would I get this mosfet if it was defective?Are there any other sources of error for the low volume?

My set up is the following: turntable connected to Sonos Port via line in; Port connected to preamp phono line in; preamp connected to stereo amplifier. Hearing a hissing and static noise while music is playing via line-in on S2 app. Volume level is fine. The sound quality is fine coming from the turntable through the preamp to the amplifier when  the Sonos port is disconnected. Please help.

Hi all i wonder if anyone could help, my knowledge isn’t great regards this stuff to be honest so I’ll try my best to explain the problem.it started (well I say it started when I done this but it’s more like when we noticed it so I don’t think it would of made any difference) I recently changed my Netgear Nighthawk router for a TP-Link Deco X20 mesh WiFi to help improve WiFi everywhere but it’s been a headache since I done this but I’m getting there with it. So I’ve had to reconnect all the sonos stuff we have to either S1 or S2 (a pain in itself) my lounge was connected via a Beam (Ethernet) plus Sub and 2 X surrounds (Play 1s) but since I reconnected the lounge it wouldn’t connect to the beam via Ethernet (very strange) so I connected them all via WiFi. Anyways most of the channels/programs sound correct how ever we have come across a program called (Zoe’s Extraordinary Play list) (not my thing I should add LOL) anyways when this is on the main sound comes from the Left surround soun

Hello, I have the same issue as in this topic. The line-in used to work well, but now, it comes and go : I made a factory reset, without success Tried several RCA wire, of course Reboot router, of course Checked that Line out from the Hifi Amp was OK, of courseI called the technical support, of course - no comment - the guy/girl was not aware about the use cases of the Sonos Connect (Turntable > Hifi Amp > Connect RCA In or Connect RCA Out > Hifi Amp > Hi-fi Speaker)  I send my logs to the support : no idea - Your Connect is KOThis is the limit of Sonos in 2021. No fixing - No repair : You just have to buy the new model.Any idea? Thanks a lot.

Hi,I recieved a Sonos One SL for Christmas and would be very happy with it, however I seem to have an issue with it where it keeps disconnecting from my WiFi. It will only disconnect when it starts to play a song, and 9 times out of 10 it will disconnect before the song is over. If I don’t play any song the speaker will stay connected to the WiFi without any issue.I have tried removing my WiFi from the list and re-adding it, however the issue still persists. The speaker is located very close to the router, and I have tested it at various distances but this seems to have no effect. If the speaker is plugged into the router via ethernet cable then I don’t run into any issues.I have checked that my router settings are set to be compatable with the speaker, and so far as I can tell they are (standard is set to 802.11 b/g/n, and the security mode is WPA+WPA2 PSK).I have submitted support diagnostics if you need them, the confirmation number is 1165836081.Thanks in advance!

This issue has been posted several times on here by various users, and no real answer / solution has been provided yet — so let’s try one more time!I’ve had this issue for around 6 months now, started as soon as I switched back to Apple Music from Tidal.The Problem: Certain views of “My Music” cannot be accessed in the Sonos controller app. For me, the issue is isolated to “Apple Music → My Music → Artists” and “Apple Music → My Music → Albums”. The precise error message is “We’ve run into a problem. Try again.”SONOS TEAM: this is NOT a wifi issue, and I’ve already gone through the obvious troubleshooting steps (all the way down to a complete factory reset across every speaker and set the system up again from scratch). I’m a technology architect, I deal with issues like this everyday. This is a software bug that needs to be raised with the appropriate product manager. The fact that Playlists and the Songs are both working perfectly fine makes this glaringly clear to anyone familiar wit

Diagnostics: 780386798Like seemingly many others, I have a problem playing back music from Spotify. Every once in a while I get the error “The connection to Spotify was lost”, and then the song skips, tries to play the next in the playlist, and usually fails that as well.My setup is as follows:I have 3x Symfonisk speakers in an apartment of around 100sqm All three speakers use wifi. None are connected by ethernet cable Every other device in the house works flawlessly on our wifi. I can download at rates of several hundred MB/s anywhere in my home. Our Chromecast never exhibits the least hiccups. I’ve verified that there is no packet loss and very low latency, and no routing problems, no duplicate IP addresses on the network or anything else, and the wifi signal strength is excellent. I even upgraded our wifi router (which was doing a fine job for everything else) to a three-node wifi mesh solely because Sonos seems to use exceptionally poor wifi antennae, or for whatever other reason s

I just got this Sonos One speaker as a gift and it worked perfectly in my house wi-fi. However I’m a college student and I had to go back to my apartment. I added my MAC address into the website for the internet at my apartment and I was able to find my speaker and everything. It just cannot connect to the internet. I’ve tried for 3 hours now trying to reset it, making sure I typed the right MAC address and everything. 

Hello there,recently I started having the issue that when I start playing a song or playlist on Spotify, all speakers will start (5 groups, 8 speakers), but after about a second, the song will only stay on one of the speakers and then gradually propagate to the other speakers.The speaker is stays on seems completely random, and it takes a good 20 seconds for it to be playing on all of the speakers again.This happens after automatic song advancement and manual skip. It also happens when skipping within a song.I haven’t changed the wifi router settings, not position, and there are no new devices causing interference (at least not in my apartment).Could you please take a look at diagnostic: 917604028 and see if there is anything I can do do fix these issues, as it’s very frustrating and jarring to the music experience.Many thanks,Nils

Can't Get Xfinity Streaming while on Computer to connect to Sonos speaker Any suggestions?Thank you.

I just got a new Samsung television and decided to replace my old playbase with a new beam 2. My system includes two play ones for surrounds and a sub.  The Beam is connected via Ethernet, others wireless. Beam is connected to TV with eARC. Sound from Beam is fine and app shows Dolby Atmos input from Netflix. Steady white lights on surrounds and Sub but no sound out of them. App on my iPhone shows system correctly (Beam + 2 surrounds and Sub). Removing and reconnecting satellites with app asks me if I want to move one satellite from “Den2” to “Den” and the other from “Den3” to “Den” (I only have one den and the app only shows one room called den). I say yes to moving them but I get an error message about trouble connecting but app then shows satellites connected anyway. Same if I remove and re-add the Sub.  Not sure if I need to factory reset the satellites and Sub and start anew or what.  Thanks

Many employers put restrictions on your phone as part of device management.  Many (like mine) require a code to use airplay on a device which is fine for TV’s or other devices that have a screen (code typically pops up that you can enter on your phone).  Sonos now has airplay capabilities, but no screen or passcode thus a problem.  A suggestion would be to add a pop up on a computer from sonos.com when trying to connect to an airplay sonos device for the first time.  Would solve the problem.  Or a standard passcode like 12345 that would work for any sonos.
