Controllers and Music services

Just updated the firmware to 16.2 and now using the latest Sonos app the audio output always wants to default to my Beam in the bedroom, if I select my Era speakers only in the living room then at the bottom of the app it’s still set to the Beam in the bedroom and has changed itself back as well in the output setting.i thought the app update was bad enough but now I can’t control the living room audio via the app :-(

I do like that you have introduced a web app as it makes it easier for me to control my system from more platforms (e.g. Linux). However, I don’t like that the system owner’s Sonos.com account is required to use the web app. I don’t want to give my Sonos.com account credentials to everyone in my household as a) it would essentially be giving them full admin control over the system if they use it with the mobile app and b) means there is greater chance of my Sonos.com account credentials being accidently leaked.Therefore please add in the ability to use the web app without the system owner’s Sonos.com account credentials. I don’t know the best way to achieve this, but here are a couple of options you might want to considerRelease a browser extension to enable the web app to connect to the Sonos system on the local network without signing into any Sonos.com account (like is possible with the mobile apps). Provide ability for system owner to create one or more additional non-admin account

Lots of comment here on how much the new aps are broken and/or dislikedI thought it might be useful to Sonos to get a sense of red line functionality. Functionality that - if not added back or fixed - will cause a user to abandon the product. Everyone will be different and that’s the point of this thread.I am also making the assumption that straight defects (laggy performance, disconnects, devices not found etc.) will be fixed within a reasonable timeframeI’ll start:Playlist/Queue management at least as functional as the last version Custom URLs for streaming radio. I’ve tried and rejected Roon because it didn't support this Local library access, browsing, searching at least as functional as the last versionPlease restrict to redline functionality and avoid venting. I too have spent a lot of money on my system and am less than happy at the moment. But if I cant get the above functionality to work then Sonos is no longer a fit for me

Dear Sonos,How can I revert to the app I was using previously, the one with an Android widget and the basic functionality I rely on?Thank you. 

The Sonos app on our two of our S22 phones changed from brown to black. Obviously updated. Since then they are both stuck in a cycle - Check for Update and Sonos is updated. We cannot get past these screens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times as well as reset the Amp and Move. Notably, the Sonos system can still be controlled by the iPad and laptop. Did they change the app? How do I get past the check for update and updated already screens?

Sonos should roll back the new app right away.This is a ludicrous act of self harm.

The new app doesn’t know where it is when I move from my Home to my Office.  It always asks me to log in. Once I do it can’t find my systems.  The old one always knew where we were and could always find ALL my products.  The new one lost, confused and can only find a few of my sonos speakers.  How do I re-install the old app? 

Sliders are just gone. Tapping on the speaker icon does nothing 

Umm, what you’re suggesting is anything but seamless. 🤦‍♂️ [bad facepalm emoji]Ya’ know what WOULD be seamless? Enable us to use the wonderfully functional S2 v16.1 side-by-side with the new app, while you [WTF] “reintroduce many features.”

I have two fives grouped together as my line in for my tv. I have a one and symfonisk in two other rooms that are completely separate. When I updated to the new app, it suddenly grouped the all the speakers together under the line in input. It also defaults to those speakers with music rather than defaulting to my paired fives like it has always done with the old app. I have to manually change it every time I open the app and sometimes it doesn’t even work. I’ve had to unplug the other two speakers so the tv doesn’t play in other rooms. I can’t figure out how to get it back to just playing the two fives as line in. I never had a problem with this with the old app. 

Where has the alarm function gone? I’ve just upgraded my app and it’s vanished. How am I supposed to get up?

I have a ray and an amp.  The amp is hard wired to outdoor speakers.   Can i set up the am p and ray to play the same music but with separate volume control

I would like to ask for a precise, step-by-step solution to the following matter, someone should not describe in general terms how to solve the problem.We live together in an apartment with my wife. We bought an ARC+Sub and a Roam. I registered my own username and put all three units into one system. I named ARC+SUB Living Room, and Roam runs as Sonos Roam.The situation I want to solve. I would like to listen to the Rolling Stones on TIDAL on ARC+SUB in the Living room, for example, with my Tidal subscription.My wife and I listen to the Beatles from Spotify on the Sonos Roam in the other room with her Spotify subscription.How can this be solved so that the system does not crash?What does my wife have to do to be able to do this?Does it need a separate registration with Sonos?Please explain to me as if I were a five year old.

Since the update accessing my albums under Spotify always times out, ie. I get the „something went wrong“ notification. Prior to the update this was working fine. Haven’t seen this specific problem with the update. 

Hi I installed the previous version of the app using aptoide.I am happy again!

remote Controller S1 for android doesn't Play the whole queue

Hi,I have two questions after successfully resetting up my Play 1 after moving house:When I play my sonos radio stations, I cannot see the actual piece of music or program that is on the radio at the moment i can no longer control the volume on my device volume; I can only do this with the sonos slide control.are these things I have to get used to now?thank you 

Whilst my tv is playing through my arc speaker and shows on the app it is doing so then how do I play music on my roam and move using the app?

Ich habe in zwei Häuser eine Sonosanlge stehen. Bei der alten app musste ich mich nicht manuell abmelden und im zweiten haus mit dem anderen Konto anmelden, dies war immer gespeichert. Also je nach wlan am handy hat die app selbst gemerckt welcher user der richtig ist, jetzt muss ich abmelden und mit dem richten anmelden.

I have four Sonos speakers in my main setup. With this new app my wife and I both find it difficult to play music on a single speaker.  For instance it seems to default to my “Garage Speaker” and if I want to play music in my “Main Bathroom” it's cumbersome to get music to play because it always defaults to the Garage speaker. 

I just updated the new app and I cannot connect to my SiriusXM account. I tried three times and was authorized three times by SiriusXM but Sonos still will not connect to it.  Anybody have any suggestions?

Does anyone know of an alternative app that works with Sonos products. This new app is horrible. 

Please bin the new app and let me have s2 back. I mostly listen a premium radio station and now I am unable too, aswell as numerous other issues.

This update is missing a lot of features that were previously available. We use this in our gym to manage our Sonos system. After the update FitRadio no longer works as none of the genres, playlists or favorite artists/DJ’s are visible. Even after removing and reauthorizing the service. So a paid for service is worthless currently. Pandora is limited in functionality after the update as well. Not sure the purpose of this update but Sonos should provide an opportunity to roll back or fix asap. 

This sorry saga has all the hallmarks of an 'abusive relationship' including gaslighting, coersive control, mistruths and neglect.   It has to rank pretty high in the list of worst commercial practices ever.  NETFLIX will probably in time make a 6 part documentary out of this. 😁.Meanwhile, stay courageous as Sonos would want you to be 😁
