Controllers and Music services

I know this is an ancient topic but how can this still be an issue? I owned the playbar when it was new but the app back then was not very good with limited integration with Spotify for example. I loved the sound from the playbar but eventually sold it, partly because it wasn’t possible to control volume etc with an iPhone’s side buttons or from the lock screen. It’s just so unintuitive compared to a Bluetooth speaker. fast forward to 2020 and I thought it was time to give sonos another chance. I now own a Beam and Sub and the app is so much better. (And there is AirPlay and google assistant). I really would like to use the sonos app for playing music etc BUT I still can’t use the side buttons or get the controls on the lock screen.!! I’ve tried it all, closing apps, turning off all AirPlay devices. It even worked for a little while but then I connected the Beam to a Samsung the Frame 2020 and since then the controls are gone. I have turned AirPlay off in the tv:s settings. Does anyone

Trying to Calibrate the Sonos ARC and sub with the Sonos 2 app. Nothing on the app about calibration or Trueplay.Thank you

During the day, I usually have a playlist from my library setup to play in three rooms -- Office, Kitchen and Master Bedroom.  Around supper we usually pause that playlist, and then watch TV. At bedtime, I have another alarm (do not include grouped rooms) that is set to trigger a playlist in the Master Bedroom only that plays a small “silent” playlist, basically in order to clear the queue (since my other automation s/w seems to ADD to the playlist, but that’s another issue) before my 10:00pm “Night Night” playlist starts.  Whenever this 1 minute alarm triggers, the other two rooms start up again and continue playing where they left off.  Obviously this isn’t what I want.I can fully replicate this on demand so it isn’t just a fluke.Any ideas on this “bug”?My systems consist of this…Associated Product: 192.168.1.181---------------------------------Play:3: KitchenSonos OS: S2Version: 12.2.1 (build 61183170)Hardware Version: 1.8.1.3-1.2Series ID: A100---------------------------------Play:

I can’t seem to find anyway to rename my rooms using Sonos controller on Windows 10. I’ve read that it’s possible through the mobile app, but surely if the little mobile app can do it so can the full desktop controller app can too? This needs asked again and again because it’s ridiculous if it’s not possible.

Hey,  Just bought a Sonos speaker for my daughter and I, but she set it up, and now when I connect to the speaker, under "my Sonos" all her favorit channels are shown on my device as well.  Can we some how have our own "my Sonos" (one for each of us) or are we bound to have to mix our preferences and my daughter and I to have no privacy in choice of podcasts and music?  Thank you all in advance.

I’m considering upgrading from the Sonos Connect but it is not clear to me whether the S2 update enables the Sonos Port to stream high resolution audio via coaxial digital. I would appreciate any feedback from subscribers to the forum.

Can I play I tunes music from my phone on my Sonos speakers 

Why isn't there a jukebox mode available? There have been plenty of requests over the past few years. I can't be only one who is driven mad by party guests ruining the vibe by putting an entire album on instead of just the required track. Can you give us a date when this is likely to released as a beta and I'd be happy to have a house party to test it for you?

What is the loud switch in eq on the app for. I have a Sonos BeamNew to Sonos sorry if this is a daft question 

I am incredibly frustrated with SONOS.  I was at a friends house who had a new SONOS 2.  It made me download SONOS 2 to use system.  Now I am back in my house with SONOS 1 components and it does not recognize my system.  When you open Sonos 1 app, it shows my system for a split second, and then reverts to Sonos 2 screen saying it does not recognize network. This is such a ridiculous business strategy.  It seems like you created forced obsolescence of your older components that worked perfectly fine! 

I have had Sonos for years and have Sonos 1 and signed up for YouTube Music a month ago.  Recently have been getting: "Error getting stream URL for track." and only one song in a playlist would play.  I then deleted Google Play Music since I had signed up for You Tube Music thinking that may be the problem.  Now all the songs in all playlists are grayed out and a circle with bar through it  in front of each song.  Can anyone tell me what is going on?  Thanks.

I’ve kept my system on the S1 software because I think the S2 software isn’t yet mature and there are no compelling reasons to change. When I try to add a Connect the Controller says it needs to update.  When I take that option I’m offered only the S2 app … that I don’t want.  There’s no other option.  It’s a really simple need: I just want to add a Connect to an existing S1 system. Before anybody asks, yes all my hardware (including the extra Connect) is S2 compatible.  But no, I don’t want to migrate to S2.

Apple Music song library won’t queue after playing either an album or playlist from Apple library...it simply adds song to the album played as the album is the current queue unless I clear it...then the new queue is limited to the song(s) selected, and not a queue fro the entire song library….help?...something simple I’m missing here?...I’m a new Sonos user...many thanks

So on the App on my PC I can see my 'Sonos Playlists' as an option to select a music source. However, on the app on my iPhone that option isn't available? I can select 'imported playlists' , Artists, Albums etc. but not Sonos Playlists?

I had some issues recently where I couldn’t find 2 of my 4 Sonos One speakers.  Got that squared away but now I can’t adjust the volume from the app like I used to.  If I move the volume control up or down nothing happens.  The music is playing but the volume can’t be adjusted from the Sonos app.

I have the Sonos app on both my iphone 11pro and my iPad Air 3rd generation.  I am running the latest IOS software and have an up to date Sonos app on both devices.  Whenever I try to launch the app on my iphone when the app is already open on my ipad, I get a greyed out screen (I have a screen shot).  This does not change, unless I close the app on my ipad.  Once I do that, it takes about a minute for the app on my iphone to adjust to the normal screen (again I have a screen shot), but this screen is then frozen.  The only way to get the app to work on the phone is to close the app on the ipad and close the app on the iphone, then restart the app on the iphone.  

can’t connect to music library - get message saying can’t find server

Hi all.    I have Tidal which has hi res audio. How can I tell if this is being streamed now via the S2 app?   Cheers Tim

Bonjour,l'enceinte Sonos Play Five est-elle hires ? Peut on lire des fichiers 24-192 via l'application S2. Car je suppose que tous ces récents changements sont destinés à évoluer dans ce sens. Si la réponse est négative le sera t-elle prochainement ? Une date est elle fixée ?Bien cordialement 

I can’t seem to figure out how search is supposed to work on Tunein radio, Iheart radio and other services. If I am looking for a particular station or program it seems I need to know in advance which category and  sub-category Sonos has decided to apply to my target, if it is listed at all. There do not seem to be  an effective search function.How do people find stations and programs?

I have music  on Google Drive. How can I play this through sonos?

I would buy more equipment if I thought you’d support your product with multiple genres and more length to a genre.  But it looks like you’re waiting for another vendor to leapfrog you and get your future new business.  I guess I just have to wait until Sonos goes belly-up and someone buys your code.

HiRecently purchased a beam alongside an existing play 1. New app installed and beam working however from app can only see one of my two devices (both in same room currently). Interesting point is both at one stage do appear and work in app. Almost feels like they flip flop. Both on my network and both using WiFi Any thoughts

Please provide a software update that allows Sonus Move to pair with a Sonus Sub. I shouldn’t be forced to buy another Sub-compatible speaker in order to pair with a Sub then group them all.    I understand the reasoning of the Move being portable, but if I want one or more Moves paired with a Sub while they’re in their normal location, you should let me. It’s easy enough to turn off the Sub temporarily if I want to take the Move(s) in another room (or outside) and the Sub isn’t nearby.    In my case, I want a pair of Moves+Sub in my bedroom/bathroom with the Sub under the bed. I bought the Moves so I could “Move” them in the bathroom when I shower and get ready without having to unplug/plug power cables. In order to achieve this, I had to buy a Play:5 to pair with the Sub. The Sub is still in close proximity and sounds great with the additional Play:5 but I don’t really need the extra Play:5 and this kind of use case is exactly why some people will buy Moves instead of fixed-location
