what is the cheapest and easiest way to contact Bluetooth to play on my sonos system?!? I heard that you can use roam and cast roam to the rest of your system and if that’s true with roam is that true with move too?

Audible now has a growing collection of Dolby Atmos material.Is that likely to be supported through the Sonos app at some point?I’m enjoying Atmos content much more through the Sonos speakers than while using headphones - so it’d be great to listen to this content with the speakers.

‘talkSPORT on tunein live is not available’ It’s been like this for weeks now on voice command for talkSPORT. It works fine on echo dot and nest. talkRADIO voice command works on Sonos but not talkSPORT. Fix please.

So it is great that we can now listen to Apple Music Dolby Atmos from the Sonos app, but when playing to the Sonos Amp does it stream in Lossless as there is no icon to indicate this?

The directory of radio stations for radio.net on Sonos has not been refreshed in a long time, which means old streams no longer work on Sonos (but work on radios.net because they updated their directory).Can you please update their directory on Sonos so all station stream work correctly?

this week searching for books is no longer possible FIX IT!!

Hey everybody strange thing happening with my 2 of my sonos AMP and 1-2 radio stations. I have no problem with most radio stations but there are 2 stations (and it makesno difference if chosing it on sonos radio or tunein) who cause some problems. I have 9 „rooms“ in total. 4 AMP‘s , 1 move, 1 beam and 3 one‘s!on every room the 2 concerned stations play with no problem EVERY TIME. On 2 AMP‘s they mostly don‘t play…. I just get the „tunein“ chime on repeat. A very few times they work, but if i stop them and want to start again, they don‘t work.the work around is to select a 2nd room with the AMP and start the station before deselecting again the 2nd room.somebody knows what that is?oh yeah  i am on sonos S2 and newest update  bought all my elements toogether last year. Bever tried radios before so can‘t say if the problem is recent or no  thanks 

I’m pretty confused here and am struggling to get an answer. A long time ago I had a Deezer 1 year trial of their Hi Def audio service. It played through all my SONOS equipment at that time - certainly pre S1/S2 split on an original Play 3 and a number of Connects which all became defunct later. I didn’t maintain the subscription as I didn’t want the cost, and have used Spotify since.Now I’m looking at Apple Music. It offers a Hi Def option on music files - lossless - and even though I’m on S2 and have upgraded all my SONOS equipment to latest models, I may or may not be able to play the Hi Def audio through any of it. Really? We’ve gone backwards over the last 10 (?) years. I’d be interested to get a clear answer. I’m struggling to believe that SONOSNET is incapable of running a Hi Def stream around it.If it works, then I’ve got a reason to swap over from Spotify (who won’t offer Hi Def) to Apple. If it doesn’t work, then there is no reason. So Apple if you are

Having lists with hundreds of songs and not be able to sort them by “date added” is very frustrating. Please add this feature!! 

After moving into my first apartment 2 years ago, i invested in getting a sonos system in every room after hearing how nice it is to have linked music throughout your living space. I bought 3 sonos SL1s, 2 beams, and sonos port. I use 2 of the SL1s as my surround speakers for my entertainment system (which are being fed audio from my entertainment system via sonos port) and i have had serious delay time issues with this. It has created a delay which i cannot correct within my sony amp/reciever… Even when delaying my main tower speakers to the maximum, and setting delay on the sonos to the minimum, the delay on the sonos speakers is still WAY behind the rest of my system…. That is a whole different problem. But the main issue is that spotify refuses to work with my system no matter what i do. I have reinstalled all services, reconnected all the speakers from scratch, restarted my router, and still have the same issues. When shuffling a playlist on spotify, it all works (most of the t

I have two feature requests for the Sonos app.Night Sound popup window - I use the Night Sound feature every night and I feel it’s not necessary for a popup window to remind me of the feature’s benefits every single time I use it. Perhaps the popup shows the first couple times and then disappears. When I turn it off, I don’t need a window telling me I turned it off. Sub Audio & Night Sound - I’d love the ability to have the Sub turn off automatically when I engage Night Sound. Perhaps just a switch that enables that feature.Thanks,Steve Temple**Moderator Edit** Removed email address

I’m an Android user and I’m considering switching to Apple Music from Spotify but one of the biggest things stopping me is that within the Spotify app, I can bring up the devices list and play to any of the Sonos speakers in my house. Is there a way to do this with Apple Music or do I have to use the Sonos app?

I have a few suggestions regarding search function in the app, and the search engine itself.  Using S2 on current ios devices or windows desktop app, sonos software up to date.current search in music library is “literal” and only works on exact text matches.  Some of my albums/tracks show “piano concerto” and some show “concerto for piano”, and if I input “piano concerto”  only tracks with that in the track text appear.  In itunes, and most other music apps, if I search for “piano concerto”, both show up. when I use the sonos app to search spotify, I can use “piano concerto”, “concerto for piano” or “concerto piano” spotify shows the same results, apparently doing an implict “and”, not simply a literal match. possible addition of boolean search so “and” and “or” can be used, or perhaps , or + operators there is no search from the edit playlist page in the app, where I would most like to perform a search. there doesn’t appear to be a wa

I recently replaced all my HomePods with the new Era 100 and 300 speakers. For the most part, everything is better… except audio normalisation. I found some ancient threads on this issue (and also on Spotify forums), so I know I’m not imagining things. I use Spotify but I believe it also happens with Apple Music.So it’s great not to have to struggle with AirPlay and a whole host of other volume issues that now the lack of normalisation is really the biggest complaint I have now. It’s annoying to have to adjust volume from time to time when playing a varied playlist. When using Spotify over AirPlay, it works fine. Spotify over Spotify Connect doesn’t work right.I realise this is probably a Spotify issue but perhaps you could put some pressure on them to do whatever they need to do. It’s a feature music players have had since the early 2000s in my recollection (SoundCheck in Apple iTunes).CheersChris

I am having problems with a number of files from Spotify and Audible.This is not a duplicate question, because the problem always occurs at the same place in the files. It is not random or intermittent. Specific files always fail at the same place.i am using a Port as my player.

Because the website just says ‘delete and re-install’. Does Sonos think this is an adequate solution? It’s not.

I just updated flawlessly to S2 & V12. Are SMB shares with v2 or better v3 supported by now?

I have a Ray, 2 Ones, and an Era 100. What is the best way to set them up? The Ray is in front of the tv, the Ones on the right side, the Era on the left by where I sit. If I try towatch a movie, the sound is boomy and echoic, can’t hear clear dialog. Please help. I am also new to Sonos, love the speakers, think the set up requirements and the user guide aren;t worth s--t, If ever a company needs to incorporate Chat GBT, Sonos does.

Has anyone found a fix for sound cutting off when streaming BBC radio stations from another source?IE live radio streamed via Roon or Logitech media server the sound will blip off every few seconds , however when played via the Sonos app its fine.However if I use a newer speaker via Airplay I don't have and issues.Is it simply the processing power of these speakers?

I’ve been having terrible trouble playing music from my Synology NAS the last few days.It will play a bit of song then cut out, skip to the next, then give up entirely. In the NAS logs it says:Host [192.168.x.x] failed to connect via [SMB] due to [SMB1 not permitted].Reading some older forum posts it says that Sonos now uses SMB2, so why is this error coming up all of a sudden?Is there a way to check if Sonos is using it, or force Sonos to use only SMB2?(incidentally, I tried enabling SMB1 on the NAS temporarily, and it made no difference).

Feature request - Add Volume numbers in the Mac/PC app next to volume controls.

Feature request: Add Dolby Atmos logo to Mac/Windows app for songs that are in the mentioned format. 

Using the S2 app on Win11, I don’t see any mechanism for doing basic care and feeding of my Sonos system.  All I see is essentially a glorified music player.In particular, I would like to control the balance, but cannot find a control to do that.

I have a set of Spatial Audio (Dolby Atmos) compatible speakers: an Arc, 2 x Era 300s and a Sub.When I read various articles, I get the sense that the only way to play Spatial Audio from Apple Music is via the Sonos S2 app, and that it won’t be lossless. Is that right?If one plays from the Apple Music app (iOS or OSX) over AirPlay 2 to these devices, I further get the sense believe that the music won’t be Spatial Audio (or lossless). Is that right?

Our band performs regularly at a small club that has a multi-room Sonos system installed for recorded music when the band is not playing. The system sounds really great - loud, clean, excellent coverage of the venue. Our own PA speakers are high end, but they are too loud up front and not loud enough in the back, always a challenge. I would like to patch a line level output from our band’s mixer into the Sonos system when we play. Exactly what would I need to do that? Club owner is hesitant - he seems to think we could harm his setup. He has not told me exactly what Sonus gear he has. All I know is that he controls it all from his phone, and it is high end. We could run a cable to his central Sonos device assuming that it has a line level in… or we could go wireless - I believe Sonus has a device, or we could transmit over wi-fi with a non-Sonus receiver by his central device.Any advice without knowing his exact gear? I’m sure I will ultimately be able to f
