Controllers and Music services

Did a search for a Sonos + Linux but all threads were archived. I want to add a +1 for Linux support. I’m probably an idiot and missed something. I main Linux, and while my Sonos device shows up in Spotify in Linux it never connects, regardless of network (2.4 or 5).. I tried various 3rd party addons and could probably make it work, but why make it such a hassle for Linux users. In Windows the Sonos deivce works perfectly in Spotify as expected. Love your product, the physical quality and the sound quality, but it’s annoying having to reboot into Windows to listen to music (especially when shitfaced). I would love to extend my Sonos speakers system. but the hassle just makes me ponder Bluetooth speakers instead. By now, isn’t there enough Linux users to warrant Sonos integration? Again, maybe I missed something.  

Hi. I’ve got a group of two rooms. I want the alarm to go off in both rooms. move clicked the ‘include grouped rooms’ button but the alarm never goes off in the second room. Any ideas what might be wrong?thanks 😃 

I have Sonos Connect S2.   Everything worked fine with my old Android 8 tablet.   I have just bought a new (unbranded) Android 10.0 tablet and when I try to download Sonos from Play store I get "Your device isn't compatible with this version".   Any thoughts on how to fix this?

I upgraded to S2 to try a Sub I got as a gift. The sub doesn’t work with different speakers within the house - or couple with a Connect to go with non-Sonos speakers. You need to choose one only. So I returned it. Now I can’t switch my system back to S1. A customer rep told me I needed to reset all the speakers, but couldn’t tell me how, or what to do with in-wall speakers. They want to force me to upgrade my S1 speakers! Sonos, you have lost a lot of customers with this debacle, and now one more. After 30 minutes or more just waiting to speak with customer service, and no answers, no call back after being disconnected (as the person tried to look up how to reset wall speakers). Is there no way to stay with S1? (I was fine with it)  Oh, and no handle on the new Play 5? How dumb is that? Will never ever recommend Sonos to a friend or anyone. Will actively seek out how to discourage anyone from using Sonos. Hope you lose your lawsuits!

I apologize if this has been addressed, but I can’t find a straightforward answer.  Has anyone tested whether sound quality is better by streaming through the Sonos app or using AirPlay/Casting to stream from the Amazon Music app? Of course this wouldn’t be an issue if the Sonos app displayed file type/size within their app.  

Hi. A problem with Volume Normalization still persists on Sonos. I have all my aac and alac music with both replay gain and iTunes iVolume tags applied and there is still a problem with the music playing either too loud or too quiet when shuffle mode is applied. The problem is also there when streaming from Spotify and Amazon Music.

Hi, I have created a simple sonos linux controller. It’s not meant to be player.

Do Sonos intend to integrate BBC Sounds with Sonos, as they have done with Spotify.I’m referring to various workarounds using Google Assistant or Alexa, not via AirPlay.I would like full integration as has been so well implemented with Spotify.

Tried setting an alarm up on my SONOS one sl in my bedroom but when I go to select the music to go with the alarm there is nothing there. All the headings are there i.e. Sonos Radio, etc but when you select any of these headings there is nothing behind them...all missing any selectable content. Not sure why?? 

Sonos desktop app keeps popping up on my screen with each new song played. This is quite annoying when you have other windows open, doing work and it pops up forcing you to close it. Is there a setting I'm not seeing?

Hi,2 days ago, I clicked on the Sonos 1 icon on my laptop (Windows 10) and I got a setup assistant menu displayed showing a list of languages. This menu was frozen i.e. I couldn’t select anything and then it all disappeared. The result is that it is now impossible to run Sonos on my laptop.  Anyone got an answer on this?

I successfully listen to Libby library audio books through Sonos.  Thank you.  When I stop, then start the book later, it starts at the beginning.   I tried syncing again and setting Libby bookmarks.   How to start a book where previously stopped through Sonos?

Does anyone know how I can get background nature sounds to play while doing guided meditation while using the Calm App on Sonos?  I can get background sounds to play while meditating when just using the app, but not when I’m listening on Sonos.  Any suggestions? 

 This has not been resolved. Sonos, please don’t ignore this and do your job. Fix this.

heyI cant login, and I have been on profil, and reset and everything is coorect. But in the app I cant log in. What to do

Is there any way to get total control to the speakers while I’m not on the network.  Is there any other speaker that I should use instead?

After broadcasting, all radio programs are available in the form of AAC files at http://archiwumnowyswiat.top/.How to connect SONOS to this library?

Sonos being an Amazing Company with Fantastic Speakers. I have Play Bar, Play 5, Play 3, Play 1 x3 and Connect. Whenever I have a Party or Gathering  with friends. Everyone always says to me ... can you play this Song or Mix on YouTube through my Sonos Speakers and I have to say NO unless I download and convert it and then move it to my Tablet so that I can go to Play What's On This Device. By far the biggest downfall...

It seems like a missed opportunity not to have included a nice 10 band equaliser in the software. 

Hi. I am having trouble getting S2 windows app to work. When I select the installed app icon a orange Sonos logo appears in the middle of the screen ± 500x500 pixels. Then disappears without the controller loading.  I have tried: Uninstalling, removing from recycle bin, deleting the downloaded file. Re-downloaded and installed, with restarting the PC inbetween. Made sure the windows firewall allowed all the Sonos apps and options (private and public) Switched off my anti virus totally. Uninstalled and reinstalled while off.   None of the above seemed to work.   Please help guys, this is really frustrating. Am also struggling with support as I am from South Africa and we don't have any proprietary support here. The time difference makes it difficult to contact the US support team.

We play music and kids’ stories served from a windows server. This worked fine for years. After disabling SMB1 because it was 2020 and failing to get the http service to work (with or without firewall) I set up windows media streaming over what looks like RTSP.We use the Sonos Android app (12.2.2), and also the Windows one, less often. Navigating the metadata works as expected, but this is not generally how we use the app. It isn’t really feasible to browse, or even search, tens of thousands of objects, made up of four or five distinct collections, as a flat list. The way to do that is to use folders. But navigating by folder does not work as expected: the app browses and finds the content, but it does not treat the folder as a potential playlist. In contrast with other sources (I’m thinking SMB folders, Spotify, Amazon) it does not associate play/add functionality with the list it has found. There aren’t any buttons. Click on a track and it dutifully plays that track and then stops. I
