I am unable to get back to the top browse screen (where I have a choice of my library, radio stations, music services, etc. after having searched for and listened to an item chosen via my iPad or iPhone app. Navigation is fine using the app on my PC. Is there a way to return to the top browse screen on IOS devices? Thanks
I can't use my macbook pro to access Sonos ? Can you walk me though a solution here ? OSX10.9.5
hello, recently, my sonos started adding all songs i play (i usually play from the music library) to my queue. when the selected songs finish playing, sonos plays the queue - so sonos plays my selections twice. if i don't clear the queue, new songs are appended and the replay gets very long. how to i tell sonos not to add songs to the queue, and/or not to play the queue after it completes my current selection?
Can I sync my google agenda with my Sonos so Sonos Will give me a alarm and if possible what the activity is?
PLEASE add "Artist Radio" to the Tidal app within the Sonos app. It's not there that I can find. Also I can't save a "favorite artist" from the app either. I can do both of these things from the Tidal webplayer, so they're there. Thanks!!!
I see this has been discussed the past few years, but is this a feature/setting that is available? Ability to mute system/device when calls come in?
I have created a Playlist for a party. I have been adding songs. Is there any way to get information on the duration or play time of the list? e.g. The list takes 1 hour 20 minutes to play. Thanks much.
Been using android sonos app on my galaxy s8+ with no issues for months. When running, sonos icon never disappeared from notification area until starting yesterday when I purchased an echo dot and set up for use with sonos. Now, everything still works, but I need to formally open sonos app on order to use on phone, as the icon always disappears from notification area. I made no changes to my preferences after installing echo dot in my house.
I have just created a trigger using "Stringify" that (using "SmartThings" and a "Harmony Hub 'Activity' ") plays a specific playlist on my "Sonos" when I turn a light ON in the kitchen. That Sonos playlist was copied from Spotify. This is good ... but it would be better if the SONOS playlist could sync with my Spotify playlist so that the playlist on my SONOS "United Kingdom Top 50" (which is a copy of the playlist with the same name on my Spotify) is always up-to-date. I have the list playing 'shuffle play' so I get different songs each time, but I will soon notice that the playlist is always from December 2017! NB: The Harmony Hub can only 'See' the playlist that is saved on my SONOS, not the Spotify playlists. Thanks
I've got two Sonos 3 and a Sonos 1 set up in different rooms, with the app running on my phone and a home tablet. What's the best way to control this system? Meaning, if I want to stop the music in the bedroom, do I pause it on the app or pause it with the button on the speaker? Is one way better than the other? Same question with volume. What's the best suggested practice for this?
I did it once by slowly moving my ipad around, keeping it generally pointed towards the sonos. Seemed to work well. Had a "pro" come by to install my playbase, and he waved his iPhone around like a manic, pointing it in all different directions, waving it quickly. Could be my imagination or bad memory, but it seemed worse this way. In general, what's the best way to move the device around when tuning?
This has only happened 3 or 4 times since setting up my system 4 months ago. But it seems to be getting worse. My master volume on the phone app has just slowly increased to max volume by itself! Once this turned up my Playbar, Sub and 2 Play 5s to MAX VOLUME downstairs as I was walking upstairs and connecting to my Play 1 in the bathroom. Needless to say my wife (and 6 weeks old daughter) were not overly impressed with this new feature. I've also found on occasion that it just turns everything down and if it try to turn it back up it just goes back down. And I've also once had it smash up to max volume and then the app gives me the buffer load wheel and i cant turn it down. It feels like SkyNet is getting in there and trying to destroy my families ears. This is a very annoying issue for a $5000 home HIFI rig. Any advice on how to stop this happening?
Full disclosure up front: this is very much a 1st world problem I am asking about and is barely an inconvenience. That said..... I have a setup with 18 different zones/rooms on different floors and locations. 2 things I would LOVE to see added to the controller app are: 1) The ability to single button ungroup - so say for instance I have 10 zones grouped together, I can ungroup them all with a single click. 2) The ability to create sub-groups for frequently group zones, for example "Upstairs" grouping all the rooms upstairs, or "basement" grouping the basement and garage areas. This way I can single click a sub-group instead of hunting through the room list each time to create the group.
I have sonos 5.1 set up in living room which works well. I now have a play 5 in the dining room that works well,(meshed). Problem is my phone and laptop need stronger wifi in the dining room and would a single channel extender work without disrupting sonos?
After updating to IOS 11 TruePlay doesn’t work!
One thing I like in the new app is the navigation bar at the bottom. But I don't understand why it disappears when you go to the Now Playing screen! It would be so much better and less confusing if the bar stayed there all the time. Right Sonos?
How can I display my stations alphabetically instead of by most recently played?
I’m someone who rarely uses forum boards, but I created an account just to comment on how bad the new Sonos controller app is in hopes that voices will be heard. It is not intuitive, forces the user to go in and out of screens way too many times and is just plain clunky. A terrible step back from the simpler process of the previous version. PLEASE SONOS PLEASE! Bring back a UI that is more similar to the last version or make the flow of this one considerably better (like start from scratch). - a disappointed user
Since I updated my Windows OS only my Windows 10 PC now has this issue of 'System not found'. I have reset all HW and removed and re-installed all SW and the problem still exists. I can access the system through my Android phone so the problem is with Sonos/Windows 10. Please help!
White theme is terrible looks very unprofessional and is not good on the eyes. Request : request Any plans to upgrade to a dark theme option?
I'm trying to install Sonos One. When trying to connect the controller to the speaker, I get the message Version Unconfirmed. 'There was a problem confirming if your Sonos Controller is up-to-date some features may not work' I can then go on to connect the wifi successfully, and can use the music function with streaming etc, but the setup does not give me the opportunity to either configure the optimum speaker setup or to enable Alexa. Have tried on two different PCs, one running windows seven and one windows 10 as well as a android phone, same error. Have tried unplugging and resetting router, same error. I've noticed this 'up to date' problem seems to be common but have not found any solution. Any advice?
My IPhone looses wifi at different areas in the house. I see that you can connect an Android device to Sonosnet, yet there is no mention for IOS devices.
Can My Sonos be customized? I'd like to create a new category for Christmas Albums.
Every time I use my Sonos controller on the iPad I get a box pop up asking about snooze alerts and do I want them turned on!! It's not a one off thing - it's been happening since the last update. No matter what I push to use the controller - it appears. I don't want them turned on - as in the picture, go to the contact page - it appears. How do I stop this - it's so,annoying.
Hey will it ever be possible to control sonos with Apple Home kit ???
