Sonos 2 app only seeing one device

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

sonos not work with iphoen anymore

Not sure if anyone canHelp me but I thought I’d ask here anyway so I recently updated to a new Sonos app and it told me to get rid of my bridge which I did. And did a blue tooth update and everything was fine could play my music but now I can’t play something from my phone on any of my speakers?  I have a playbar, 2 of the little cube shape ones and a sub only updated the Apple App as i was having issues. So cannot play over WiFi or Bluetooth anymore, should i try resetting it?

La Play Five est elle hires ?

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

Setting up Sonos One SL on S1 App

I have two Connects on the S1 App. I bought a One SL as I was told it could be run on the S1 App also. However, I couldn’t get past the “Press Play/Volume Up button” instruction on the Set Up - as it identified a Play One and not a One SL. I gave up and downloaded the S2 App just for the new One SL. So now I have the S1 App running the two old Connects and the S2 App just for the new One SL. How on earth can I get the One SL onto the S1 App ?

SonosNet & S2 - can the app connect to SonosNet

Ok so I get the idea of using SonosNet to create a better/Mesh network just for Sonos, and of course this helps with speakers that are further apart being both visible and controllable - however is there any way that the app itself can connect to the speakers via SonosNet?  I am guess the answer is no, but we can all live in hope, I have a home office and at least one bedroom that is out of range if the main wifi router, I understand that if this not possible then I am likely best running off/creating a mesh home network instead.

Android Backup Option Creation

Heywhy dont people join this discussion and support a request / insist Sonos create a backup option for ANDROID for sonos saves of playlists and songs etc. VOTE 1 here.No negative campers please. It could, in the simplest form be a text dump to email file or something. then things could be recreated manually at least by users.  The commands are there in API’s but Im not a SOAP or Android programmer. “get playlist etc” would be one command and dump these to a txt file…..

Missing room/speaker on desktop app only

The other thread that had this topic is closed, but didn’t address my problem. After an hour with sonos help, this is what we did.First, confirmed my S2 was up to date. Unplugged all sonos speakers/units Rebooted the router Plugged them back in.It took a little waiting for them to come back online, but it did the trick.

In-app adverts, how to disable

Is there an option to turn off the unsolicited ad popups in the Sonos S2 IOS app? I use the app for controlling my music system, I don’t like ads from Sonos about Holiday offers, Sonos radio etc. popping up while I am using the app.

Search radio services

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?

Music library with albums from different sources.

Hi,I’d like to manage albums from different sources (local NAS, Spotify, other streaming services) in one library. Like the Sonos Music Library function, but with the ability to add albums from streaming services. Sonos Favorites don’t do the job for me because it is just a flat list, and I’d like to be able to browse by different criterias (albums, artists, composers, genres, ...).Does anyone know a good solution for that?Regards, Robert

Deezer 360 and Sonos ARC

Hi, Outside of 16-bit FLAC support for Sonos ARC and Deezer 360, is there any support from Deezer or other services to playback using Atmos / 360 degree format on Sonos ARC? Trying to get the most out of the Hi-Fi services and ARC. Thanks.

S1 TILL S2?

HejHar idag köpt en Beam en Subwoofer gen.3 samt två st One-högtalare. Har tidigare en One och en Play 5, som inte kan användas med S2. Tänker uppgradera mi S1 till S2. Undrar om jag kan få uppgraderingsrabatt 30% på min gamla Play 5 senare då ekonomin tillåter köp av en ny S2-kompatibel. Undrar också om mina spellistor mm, som jag nu har på S1 följer med vid uppgraderingen till S2.mvh

Bring back "I'm tired of this track"

I see this has been requested in the past, but those threads are closed. I want to keep the flame alive” Sonos - you need to bring back the "I'm tired of this song" feature when playing Pandora!

Controlling Amazon Fire volume on Beam

I just replace my SoundBar with a Beam. The SoundBar controlled the volume properly on my TV whether it was set to cable or streaming from either AppleTV or an Amazon Fire device (I am using a Harmony remote, but I don’t think that matters). WIth the Beam, I have it set up to control the TV volume, but the remote does not affect the volume when I’m streaming from the Fire. In fact, I can’t even set it up with the TV set to the Fire input - it doesn’t see a click on the Volume button. My TV does not have an ARC input, just a digitial audio out, if that matters. Is this something that I have to fix by reprogramming my Harmony, or what?

Deleting ghosts from my Sonos Music Library

My Sonos music library is my iMac music library (mostly my own CDs I've ripped and music I've purchased and downloaded from iTunes store).  When I add artists or albums to my iMac music library, my Sonos library updates next time I click ‘Update Music Library’.  So far so good.But why can't it do the reverse? When I delete artists from my Imac music library they don't delete from my Sonos music library. How is this even possible? and how can I persuade my Sonos system to delete the tracks and artists I’ve already deleted from my iMac?

S1 Sonos not recognizing Play 5 Gen 1 on Wifi Connection

Hello,I have (2) Play 5 Gen 1 speakers on an Orbi mesh wifi network (Main router + 2 satellites)Speaker #1 is connected to wifi satellite #1Speaker #2 is connected to wifi satellite #2Neither speaker is connected to the main routerIn that configuration, I can see both speakers on the network, and stream music to both if I use the Pandora Music player app.  However, if I look for the speakers in the Sonos S1 Controller app, I can’t see Speaker #2.If I move Speaker #2 closer to the main router such that it gets its wifi connection directly from the router then I can see both speakers in the S1 app.Both speakers have been rebooted, and as I mention, I can see and play music on the speakers with other applications just not S1.The reason why I care is that I’m trying to enable Alexa to stream music to the speakers but I think that b/c the S1 controller can’t see the speaker then Alexa is unable to use that S1 connection to stream the music. (no idea if this is true but it is my guess as I a

How to add network source to Favorites

I add this because it seems a common thing to want to do, but it took me ages to work out how to do it, and no amount of searching turned up any answer. I wanted to add a network drive source to my Favorites.I have a USB drive mounted on my modem-router. I’ve copied my MP3 library to it.  I then added this to my Sonos library using the Windows Sonos client and Manage > Music Library Settings > Music Library >  Add.  The USB source I specified as \\192.168.1.254\usb1\MyMusic  (where usb1 is the name of my USB drive, and MyMusic the folder on it).The trick to adding this as a source in your Sonos Favorites is to click Music (top-right of the window), then Music Library, then Folders. Then use the pull-down menu on the source you just added, and select Add to Favorites.You can now browse the music using the Music > Sonos Favorites route.Some keywords to help this show up in searches: NAS, network drive

Audiobooks (m4b)

I’m surprised there isn’t support for m4b.  Seems like something that could be implemented.  Disappointed that it’s not as now I have to use a different app for my audiobooks.  So much for being able to control the system through one app.

ID3 Tag multiple Artist in music library

I have a large .mp3 library.  Search works for normal kind of album, an album by a single artist works fine.  There I use the Artist for the “Album Artist” Tag and the Artist in the “Artist” Tag.  This works well when there is a song on the album featuring another Artist, I use the Artist and add the Featuring artist in the Artist.  The problem is a compilation like the 2019 Grammy Album; “Album Artist” tag is “Various Artists” and I use the Artist singing the song in the “Artist” tag.  So, the song is listed under “Album Artist” and not Artist making that Artist unfindable if I don’t have an album by the artist.  When I look at the song info, it shows the “artist” as the Artist, not “Various Artist.  Frustrating,  Can’t be sure, but I think the search was working in Sonos V1 and stopped working in Sonos V2.  I deleted the index and rebuilt it to no avail.  Not sure what else to try.
