List of music not properly ranked

Hi Guys,I am facing the following issue.I have some albums on my smartphone (huawei). In my phone, in each of the albums, the titles are properly ranked (Title 01, Title 02, Title 03,…. Title 10, Title 11,…, Title 20, Title 21). When I select the album from the sonos app, the titles are ranked differently (Title 01, Tiltle 10, Title 02, Title 20, Title 21, Title 03, Title 04…..)So it is easy to see that Sonos ranks them based on the first digit (excluding 0).If anyone knows how to solve it ?It is quite penalizing.Thank youG.

Will a Sonos One SL play all sounds from my phone or just music?

Hello!I am considering a Sonos One SL to replace my Hitachi W200. One thing I am confused about is, if i am playing music from Apple Music to the Sonos, will it only play the music and not other things on my phone? For example, I can play Spotify to the W200 and if I play a Youtube video, or a game that has sound, those other sounds do not play on the W200 (which is the way I want it). The Hitachi has great sound but will not work with Apple Music over WiFi, I would have to switch to BT which would play the sounds I do not want. Will the Sonos work like the W200 does in WiFi?

PodcastOne App (selection)?

In reviewing ‘Music Services’, I didn’t see ‘PodcastOne’ which is a VERY popular podcast site (app). Is this something I missed OR can SONOS add ‘support’ for it?

Grouped rooms for alarms

Hi everyone. I'm using the Sonos app on Android. I simply want my morning alarm to play radio everywhere in my flat. But the group's aren't appearing when I go to set the alarm. I check 'include grouped rooms' but they don't appear. If I go out and come back in, it is unchecked. If I go to groups, the group's I've created aren't in there, but they are if I am playing music?I have a Move (based in one room), a One SL in one room; and a Beam and 2 X One SLs grouped as 'Lounge' for my TV in the living room. So that comes up fine but is more a group for surround sound rather than a bunch of speakers IYKWIM.I have a group called 'Everywhere' but it isn't showing even when grouped rooms' is ticked, and I just want it to play everywhere when I wake up. Not the end of the world but annoying daily...

Can't Control Sonos Volume with Samsung Galaxy Watch

I can’t control my Sonos system volume from my Galaxy 3 watch. Has anyone figured this out? I can control the Sonos Pause and Skip functions from my watch. I have the Sonos S2 app on my Samsung Note 9 phone. To enable Sonos control on my watch, I followed these instructions: On the phone, open Sonos App Settings > App Preferences and turn on “Show Notifications,” “Show Lock Screen Controls,” “Control From Other Devices,” and “Home Screen Volume Control.” This worked, and the music app on my watch now has a Sonos option. It shows the title of the current song playing and the Pause and Skip functions work. The volume control is changing the Media volume on my phone, which would normally work, but on my phone there is a new slider labeled Sonos in my volume control. Its icon is a little box with the wireless lines in the corner, similar to the “Cast” icon in Chrome and YouTube for casting the display to a TV. Adjusting the Media volume slider on my phone (or from the watch) doesn’t cha

Feature Request - Do not collapse playlist after selecting

I find it quite annoying that when you select a station or a song or anything from the IOS sonos app (S2) it collapses all categories.To illustrate just search for SomaFM under stations. It will show a few under Sonos Radio (and others too). Expand that section and you will see around 10-15 different ones. Scroll down and select something from the bottom of the list. It plays it but then collapses the whole section so if you want to quickly try another station you have to expand again and scroll.

Connection Phantom Gold Devialet to a Sonos System with Sonos Port : How to Manage the Delay ?

Connection Phantom Gold Devialet to a Sonos System with Sonos Port : How to Manage the Delay ?Hello I have a sonos system with One sonos Move, 3 Sonos SL, 1 Sub and a sonos Port in which I have plug my Devialet Phantom Gold. Unfortunately there is a delay in the sound of my Devialet compare to the other speaker from sonos when I put them together. How I can fix that ? My objective is to play my Devialet WITH some other Sonos speakers. Is that possible with the Sonos Port ? (which is connected via the optic cable to the Devialet using a another connector RCA / optic )  Thanks a lot.

Treble EQ - which frequencies are affected?

Usually when reading about frequency ranges the "treble range" is 2.5k-5k and the "brilliance range" is everything above 5k. Does this possibly mean also the Sonos treble EQ boosts/cuts only 2.5k-5k? Or does it affect everything above 2.5k all the way to the 20s? Is lowering treble a linear equalization? (all affected frequencies cut/boosted the same).

Sonos Radio Playlist?

You can see what’s playing right now …  but what if somebody asks you what was that cool track you were playing 3 songs ago.  A lot of radio stations have a play list that lists time and details on what was playing at any time during the day.  Doesn’t look like that exists for Sonos operated stations, perhaps it should?!H

Alarm notifications not working on Pixel5

I had started using the Sonos Alarm feature.It never worked properly as often the Sono beep was playing instead of a song, sometimes the controls from the notified were not working unless I was first opening the Sonos App etc... Despite this it was at least somewhat working even if this is not the experiences you'd expect from a product like Sonos that it is not famous for being cheap.The newest issue, however, is that apparently after some updates the notifications on lock screen and on the main screen are completely gone. It is not possible to snooze or dismiss the alar. Anymore. The only notification present displays the Sonos controls as if I was simply playing music (play, pause, next, etc...) Android 11, Pixel5, App 13.03 build 62187260

App suggestion for NIght sound and speech enhancement

I would like to have the info popup’s disappear quicker as they sit there for a good 5 seconds and you can't change the volume while they are active. Has anyone else experienced this? I was thinking they are no longer required after you have experienced Turning them on and off a few times. We all know what the buttons do after the first time using it and not being able to turn down the volume for what seems like ages while it blasts through the house is a total PITA. Maybe SONOS can put this in a future update of the app? Cheers 🍻

Play 5 Spearkers Turning On By Themselves

My Speakers are kicking on all by themselves without anyone prompting from anyone in the home playing them.  It appears as if it is being triggered from a Spotify list being played elsewhere (not on wifi at home).  Is there anywhere this can be changed/addressed/modified?It’s as if the speakers are turning on by themselves every day.

Album shuffle

It’d be great if there was a ‘Shuffle Albums’ play option for Music Libraries.  Apple Music (iTunes, not the service) has this and is it is a great way to re-explore your library.

XM Xtra Channels Revisited

Hello everyone!    I couldn't find any new topics on the fact that extra channels do not show up in the Sonos Sirius XM integration. I find it very odd that the app on my phone allows me to cast to Google but not to Sonos. Spotify allows me to cast to Sonos. Are they still adding people to the list for this I'm not sure why an integrator is large as Sonos can't get the extra channels added even though they don't have numbers you would think it's pretty easy to do so. If anybody's got a hack let me know I appreciate it.

Sonos app and Spotify issues makes sonos app sucks.

When I do a song search while on the Sonos app with Spotify,  I will get only a few results and most of the time not the song I am looking for. When I do the same search directly on the Spotify app, I always get many more options and actually will find the exact song.  This is the reason I am saying Sonos App SUCKS.  After paying big price for the Sonos device, in my mind, this situation should not be happening.  (And please do not respond you need to subscribe to Sonos Radio...)

turning on/off bluetooth on sonos move REMOTELY

maybe I just do not have the patience to browse through all the chats here, but I did a bit and I did not come across anyone (to my bewilderment)  mentioning the fact that there is no way to switch between bluetooth and wifi remotely. One always has to press the connectivity button at the back of the device. IS THERE ANY WAY TO DO THIS FROM YOUR PHONE?

Sorting the order of music services

Since you can’t choose the order that your streaming services are listed, the next best alternative is to just go to the Browse page where they are listed and then hit the star icon at the bottom of the page. That’ll take you to My Sonos where your most Recently Played places are. I listen to SiriusXM a lot and so it’ll show the channels that I’ve recently listened to.
