Controllers and Music services

Interesting announcement. So if I read this correctly - in theory is this going to work ? 1. Assume I have a TV that supports Dolby ATMOS 2. I have the Apple 4K TV (which i saw somewhere ATMOS support is on the Roadmap ) 3. I get a Playbase/Playbar - The Sub and 2 Play 1's . Does this mean that thru AirPlay - I get the Dolby ATMOS Sound - even though its not supported in the Playbase ?? !!!!

I'm in the beta program, inside the Sonos app on Android tablet. Check for updates, update available, click on Update Now. This opens the Google Play Store, NOT the Sonos beta site, to the already-installed current Sonos app. WTF? Why is this not opening to the Sonos beta site, like it used to do? I want tk test Alexa integration, how is it possible to get the public beta?

Hi, I've heard that the multi room function on the Echo products only works when the music is being sourced from Amazon Music and that it won't work with Spotify. When the echo/sonos integration is live, does anyone know if this limitation will still be present? Thanks

I have a large Sonos network and want to Permanently Group the Master Bedroom (1 - Sonos 5) and Master Bathroom (2 - Sonos 1) so that they always play the same all of the time. I know I can Group them together. However, when I group the whole house (15 speakers) and later ungroup the whole house, it requires that I go through a bunch of extra steps just to recombine those two rooms. I just want to make sure they stay together all of the time - (Why is this so hard?)

I updated to release 5.0 build 26177021 this morning and the controller grouping function is no longer working. On both the App and desk top version it appears they are grouped but music will only play on a individual controller. Each controller will play individually but not grouped.

Recently updated my iPhone and now I can’t run a truetune, any ideas when this may become available?

First time posting, so any help is much appreciated. My Sonos system is set up in our small home in the mountains of Colorado and we unfortunately have no internet access. My Play 5 (Gen 1) is plugged into a WIFI router that I then access from my iPhone or iPad to control the system. Normally this works great. But this past weekend the Sonos control app on my phone told me that I had to update the software. I do get 3G cell service at the house but this did not help me. I’ve even tried a cellular hotspot but we're too remote and I can't get a strong enough signal. This is the second time this has happened and rendered my system totally inoperable. My solution last time was to haul the whole system (including router) to somewhere that I can plug into the internet and then update everything. This is obviously a pain. Is there a way to update my speaker software without having access to a wired internet connection for my router? If not, can I somehow force the system to skip

Hello for sometime now my iOS apps on both iPad and iPhone don't work. All speakers work and play off my MacBooks .... I have reset the controller , checked the wifi connection deleted and reinstalled and nothing is working .

My devices updated yesterday, but I can't seem to see what was updated - are there release notes anywhere?

I have a single router network (BT Homehub 6) and a Sonos set up (4 x Ones and Play Bar). System works great from iPad and IOS10 and IOS11 phones. But no matter what I try I cannot get my MacBook to connect to the system. When I open it up I'm asked whether its a new system or connect to existing, I choose the latter. The message is no existing system can be found, so I go through the two button press on one of the devices but it does not connect. Any ideas?

Hi everyone I was browsing my Feedly earlier today when I came across an article titled "The Sonos App (Remastered)". This got me excited until I clicked on the link of the full article only to end up with a "Page not found" :/ I've attached a screenshot of the header of the article for you to see. It states: "Life has enough compromise, and we want to keep it out of the listening experience. So when we began redesigning the Sonos app, we thought about how we could combine all the choice and variety you get from streaming with the ease and simplicity of combing through your personal record collection." And here is the link to the full post on the Sonos Blog web site: http://blog.sonos.com/en/sonos-app-remastered/ Could this mean that Sonos is finally about to release a long-overdue redesign of its Sonos Controller? :) Does anyone know anything about this? Cheers!

Hi, I have various Sonos speakers including Play 1's, Play 3's, Sub and Play Bar (I do not have any Play 5's, Connect or Connect Amp). Will I be able to connect an Amazon Echo or Echo Dot to my existing set up when this functionality goes live, or do I need to purchase new speakers when/if Sonos release speakers with microphones built in? Thank you.

I am running V 6.2.2 Sonos Controller on iOS. My speakers are all on V6.3. The advanced room setting (for EQ, etc) are no longer present in the Sonos app. As I have read elsewhere on these forums, the controller and system must be the same version. I have tried both "resetting the controller" and uninstalling and reinstalling the app (then reconnecting to the existing system). When I try "online updates" it says "no update required; your Sonos system is up to date." I also occasionally get a pop-up in the iOS app saying I need to update the system software; however, when I follow the subsequent dialog, I get the same "no update required" message. I am experiencing these problems on both an iPhone and iPad. Any ideas? Thanks!

Using Windows 8. Controller on my computer. Under "Manage" drop-down, "Music Library Settings" is grayed out. I can't add any songs because I don't have access to the menu!!!!

A welcome functionality improvement was the double tap next track on the pause button. So a logical next step would be say a triple tap to go back a track... yes?

Hello I want to turn the volume up and down, when the phone screen is both locked and when doing othe stuff. It's annoying that I have to go to the spotify app to turn volume up and down (I don't use the sonos app, and I'm aware you can turn this setting ON in this app). But however, I can't do this in the spotify app since switching to sonos.. help

How can I lock my Sonos? It gets annoying when I host a party, only to have my Sonos repeatedly hijacked by other guests.

Have a friend who was at my house on our WiFi. He was playing music through Spotify app, on my Sonos. Once he went home / no longer on my WiFi - he was still able to open Spotify and play music on my Sonos! How does this happen and how can I stop it?

I live in a studio apartment where the sound travels easily throughout my unit. Appliances such as Washer/Dryer , Dishwasher , overhead oven range fan, and vacuum cleaner easily drown out any audio I was listening to on my Sonos speakers before the appliance turned on. What I'd like would be a microphone on Sonos speakers that could be used to detect changes in ambient volume and adjust the speaker volume to compensate. Example: I'm listening to a podcast and turn the washing machine on, nearby Sonos speakers detect the increase in ambient volume and increase their volume so that I can still hear the podcast. When the washing cycle is done, the speakers detect the decrease in ambient volume and lower their volume back to the previous level.

..was the message I got just now when I tried to turn on my Sonos this afternoon. It worked fine this morning. Now when I touch the Sonos icon I just get this message, with no option to update anything. I have a Samsung Note 2 tablet GT-P5110, and the Sonos controller is version 7.4. Does it mean my tablet software is outdated? If so it sounds as if I need a newer tablet... Or have I missed something simple? Thanks in advance S

I just wanted see how many people have mounted a tablet on a wall to control and display the content playing on their Sonos system. The issue I have is that I would l like the iPad app to not dim when it is plugged in so that I can glance across the room to see artist/song information. I tend to use the Spotify app now. I wonder if there needs to be a "kiosk mode" or "display mode" to cater to this use case if the current UI cant be changed. Thoughts?

After the latest Android update on my Galaxy S7 (Nougat), the ability to access volume directly from the notification area is no longer available. I've attached screenshots showing what the notification area looked like before and after the update. Note that in the old screenshot, the volume icon is in the notification area. From there it's a quick click to adjust the volume. After the update, the volume icon is no longer there. You have to click to load up the full app, which takes a couple seconds, and then access the volume. It may not seem like a big deal but when one song is much louder than the last one, the sooner you can adjust the volume, the better. I do have the "Allow Volume Control on Home Screen" option checked but that isn't directly relevant and doesn't help. Is there any way to get the volume icon back in the notification area? Thanks in advance!

I recently discovered that the Sonos app is that number one drain on the battery in my iPad. Yesterday the battery monitor under Settings on my iPad reported that 80% of my battery usage was due to the Sonos app--7 min active and 10 hours plus in background. I am now using the app to make changes and then killing it until I need to use it again, but this is a pain. Is there another solution?

Since upgrading my MAC Sonos controller software to 7.2 it just "hangs" on startup with "Application Not Responding". I have tried re-installing it but no joy. The sonos system itself is OK (I can drive it from my Android phone) but no luck from the MAC. All was working fine till I upgraded. MAC is OSX El Capitan (10.11.6). Any ideas ? Is there any way of doing a full un-install so I can do a clean re-instal.

Hi Just installed Sonos and can stream radio etc fine. However I can't seem to add folders to my music Library. I'm trying to add a music folder that's on my internal hardrive and I keep getting the message "Sonos was unable to add the music folder, Reason: The computer "BATEMAN-Laptop" cannot be found. Thanks, Matt
