Controllers and Music services

If we post enough messages they might listen. ;) So, for whatever reason I want to stick with 9.1 of the player software. However I have upgraded my PC to 9.2 and now I can't do stuff. Now I appreciate that with iOS and various app stores you can only distribute the latest versions of the controller software. But with PCs and Macs, you should have an archive somewhere of old versions of software. Are you really saying that everyone with a sonos MUST be on the latest versions! Or else! It is such a flexible system that you can't expect everyone to use it in the same way. We don't particularly do streaming so if a particular version is good enough, then why can't we stick with it.

Hi, I am interested in getting Sonos and I am trying to find out if following is possible: I want to project a movie (eg. from windows media player) from my PC using chromecast (I connect it to my projector) and play the sound by using Sonos. Is this combination possible? Thanks a lot!

any one else like to have a snooze button for the Sonos Alarm, ever tried to shut it off when you are not fully awake, have to find a smart device, unlock it, find the app, wait for it to open, find the room and hit the stop button to much effort in the morning. something like what Phillips have done with the remote switch for the HUE Bulbs (sorry for off brand) but they have a programmable button to control the lights, the same would be great for the Sonos system

sonos will play a song if I select it from the library but cannot find server if I use a playlist. This playlist is one that I have used for years.

when setting my sub, what is phase control and where should it be set to 0 or 180

So I try to update and I’m sent to Apple App Store. I select update but then a pop up requests cc info. I don’t use cc’s anymore. Is there another way to update my SONOS, please?

I have been a Sonos user for years and placed my main library on my Netgear ReadyNAS drive. This arrangement has worked great for me until a couple days ago. I loaded Plex on my AppleTV and pointed it to my NAS drive, adding the Plex server to my MacBook. I only wanted to use Plex to view videos while continuing to use Sonos for music files, so I didn’t add my music directory to the Plex server. I didn’t notice until the next day that Sonos could no longer connect to the NAS drive as it had for years. I deleted and renetered the mapping to the drive and folder but it would come back with an error that the username or password were not recognized, even though I can access the NAS drive from other programs using the same credentials. I deleted Plex from everything, rebooted everything to include my router, NAS drive, and computer. Same result. I’m stuck.

Wonder if anyone can help. I use the true play on my 2 x ones and notice when I finish and look at the equaliser, the treble and bass are both set in the middle. I prefer lots of bass and lots of treble and adjust both up. My question is that by adjusting the treble and bass am I throwing out the true play tuning, or does it help even though I’m adjusting the end result (so is there any point using true play tuning in the first place...???) Hope this makes sense!!

The Sonos apps "Search" feature doesn't seem to support free form text. Unless I'm missing something here it's never supported searching for some combination of artist and album/song. Most website Search boxes have supported this basic human interface for many years. For example, try searching for "Narcos soundtrack" or any other intuitive combination of artist and track. Works in google, works in Spotify, works pretty much everywhere except Sonos. Please fix. thanks.

This may seem like a stupid question. We build playlists by playing our library and deciding on songs for our playlists ie. dinner, upbeat, bedtime list etc. Sometimes we hear a song and can't recall if it's in a playlist. We add it to the appropriate list and then go to the list to discern if we have duplicated the song in the list. The problem is we can't organize the playlist alphabetically by song, artist or album. The library comes up alphabetically but not the play lists. Is there away to organize the play lists to identify duplicates?

My reason for buying a multi-room Sonos system was to enjoy my large PC-based music collection throughout the whole house. Removing functionality from the Windows PC controller makes this a lot less enjoyable because now I need to both use my computer and keep a phone or tablet with me all the time. I own 6 Sonos speakers now and was interested in upgrading to newer models, but now I've changed my mind because functionality is being removed for desktop users, rather than improved. Restore and improve desktop functionality or kiss my thousands of dollars' worth of business goodbye forever.

app in windows is not giving me set up options

It seems there is no solution to user that have only linux pc at home. Is it possible that the company make this version of the software? The idea of running on wine is really none confortable.

I have recently had to replace my Play5 under warranty (great customer service Sonos) but have now lost all of my music library. I've gone through the installation process via the android app and all of my previous music library has gone. I assumed replacing the speaker would have no effect on the music library I had on my app, any suggestions?

Finally worked out how to ask a question on here! So what I'd love to do is get home and just push the play button on my play 1 or playbar and either of them automatically stream music or a playlist I've created or even a radio station. Is that possible

Whenever I looked at (Mac) dock, I see the Sonos App icon and I was very disappointed by it. It seems weird? And unrelated? I guess my overall the problem would just be: the icon is bad. It needs changes. I'm not that much of a graphic designer, but the thing needs to change. It seems sort of out-of-date. Does anyone have the same opinion as I am? And by the way. I know this is a picky thing to do, but I still need to point it out regardless.

I am seeing very significant battery drain on iOS when using Sonos app. This morning I just used the app for about an hour to play music, and the battery usage report shows that Sonos has consumed 47% of the battery usage in the last 24 hours. This is a trend I've noticed a lot recently. What can I do?

Sonos app on Android keeps freezing not letting you browse music or select speakers. Basically nothing works. Have closed the app but you have to wait for app to say it's not responding then close it from there. Any idea's?

It looks like with the arrival of Airplay 2, one of my favorite features, control volume from lock screen is now gone. I have tons of Sonos equipment and not in a rush to get Airplay 2 stuff. Can we get a widget in iOS that allows us to control volume without having to unlock the phone and control volume?

Is it possible to have the same level of service on iphone, android and pc? the trueplay seems to be present only on the ephone.

I recently picked up a Play 5 and a One, and when trying to set up the devices at home via the Sonos App on my iPhone (iPhone 😎, I constantly got the error message "Network problem; Check your internet connection and make sure your speakers are plugged in" despite being on the same network at the devices and having a relatively good signal. For the sake of troubleshooting, I grabbed my iPad (iPad Pro 2017) and was surprised to see that I was not having this issue with the Sonos app on my iPad. I was able to set up both devices normally. The situation now is that I am able to control both my Sonos devices with the App on my iPad and iPhone, but only the iPad app is able to change some settings, like room settings, or add another device, like the One. If I try to do this with the iPhone app, I again get the error "Network problem; Check your internet connection and make sure your speakers are plugged in". Playback to Sonos from third-party apps like Spotify work well from both

I have been trying to save some playlists from a music service I use (HOS) that I used to be able to save to my favorites list, but now when I do this I get a message from Sonos that it's "already saved". It isn't. How do I fix this?

I have a play 3 and a bridge. I used to be able to use both., though from time to time I would see both systems getting kicked off and I would have to re-add them However for the past 2 weeka the play 3 has stopped connecting. It has a solid white light on at all times but I am unable to get it to connect to the network anymore. The Bridge is working fine. Here are all the things I have tried. 1. Connecting the play 3 directly to bridge. Nothing changes. In fact the indicator lights on the back of the bridge seem to show that the Play 3 is not using the Ethernet cable at all. I have made sure its plugged in. 2.,connecting the play 3 directly to router. Same thing. I don't have lights on my router, but I use a cable that I know works and when I plug that to Play 3 it still doesn't work. 3. Factory resetting the play 3. Holding down the play/pause button, as it boots, makes no difference. The light stays at solid white and yet I am not able to connect 4.,resett

Why were setup and control features removed from the desktop app? I don't use nor do I want to use the mobile apps. I want my features back, please.

My sonos app wont play music from my iPhone as it says that I need to grant permission. I haven't had to do this before and the settings when I go into them show that permission is granted. I have recently synced my library on my phone but this has never caused a problem before. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks
