Controllers and Music services

I’ve finally found an excellent phone app that will give me multi band equalization for my Sonos speakers. The Neutron Music Player app allows me to play audio from Phone/NAS etc to Sonos over my home wifi network including any equalization settings.Its a bit complicated ‘tiil you get used to it and I did have to change one setting to allow quicker discovery of the Sonos speakers: Settings/Network/Source State Check Time=1Also really good for headphones with AutoEQ built in and separate EQ for left and right ear if reqd.

 Don’t want to violate any forum rules or community norms. Is it ok to post a message looking for beta testers for a new app? Moderator edit after discussion with @SITNOS: We're a small company developing an app to let AppleTV users control their SONOS system from the couch (and without having to dig out a phone!).If you're interested, please send me a Private Message and I’ll let you know the email address to apply to.Ideally you should have some experience using beta applications and Apple's TestFlight app, but we can help with that if you've never acted as a beta tester before.Thanks in advance for any and all volunteers and happy to answer any questions that may arise.

Is there any official documentation/web links that describes the formats the Sonos uses for Apple Music streaming direct from Sonos Apple Music Service vs AirPlay?I previously ripped my CD collection to Apple Lossless (FLAC), this was uploaded a few years ago to Apple Match, and I am now looking to convert this subscription to Apple Music (on a trial) so I can stream my Library directly ffrom Apple Music.When I stream my Library via Apple Music, I see around 1Mb/s bandwidth on my router to the wired Sonos device from the Internet, but cant figure out what format it is streaming.If I AirPlay from iOS device will it be same format?

What did work perfect in W10 is not the case in W11. I can’t connect to SONOS.  This is a HP Notebook and the settings done by my company. Meaning, I have restricted access as administrator. So I can’t change the public to Private network. Any other suggestions able to connect please?    

Hi,Does anyone know exactly what audio quality is played when streaming from Apple Music? I know it isn’t lossless (24-bit) but is it 16-bit? Also, any difference streaming via S2 app vs AirPlay? S2 app seems better to me but that might not be real. Thanks!

Hi,I’m aware Apple Music streams via S2 app at 256kps AAC at 16-bit, 44.1kHz (and slightly lower quality via AirPlay).   Does anyone know these specs for Amazon music via S2 app when it says ‘HD’ (not ‘UHD’)?  Thanks! 🙏

bonjour,S1 version : 11.6.1Ce matin, mon système Sonos (S1) me demande de me “connecter pour accéder à plus caractéristiques”Quelque soit le compte et les mots de passe, pas moyen d’accéder à Sonos. Est-ce que quelqu’un a déjà eu ce problème ?En vous remerciant par avance

Hi, I have an older Sonos Connect that I have used for years to integrate my home audio AV receiver into the Sonos ecosystem so I can enjoy audio through my primary home theatre system. I have the Sonos Connect plugged into CD-R input on my Yamaha receiver. It all works well when I am using a streaming service like Pandora or Amazon Music. What I can’t figure out is how to integrate my CD player from the home theater system into the Sonos ecosystem. If I were to plug the Connect into the back of the CD player (which I actually cannot since this is occupied via line out to the receiver) I would lose the receiver’s usage as the primary sound source for this area.  I know I am missing something here. Am I running a line out from the Connect to something? Thanks in advice for any suggestions. Regards, Michael

I have previously just used Amazon Prime to stream music. Usually from their playlists. Good selection of current music, and effectively free as had Prime for deliveries. With the recent “upgrade” it is no longer a viable service. So what do people recommend for streaming? I’ll be a low volume user, and don’t need the HD type of service. Just need something I can play current music, see what is coming next, and skip songs I don’t like!I am thinking Apple Music, Deezer or Spotify, but there may be better. Won’t “upgrade” Amazon out of principle. They ruined a perfectly good service, presumably to make more money, and it not as if the company is struggling! Don’t know if it matters, but I am UK based.

If I add a Boost to my (S1 SonosNet mesh) system that uses a Bridge: Will the Boost increase signal range so that my CR-200 won’t struggle to find the signal.   If so, how do I use the Boost?  Do I have my system “find” it and then I just plug it in midway between the Bridge and where I use the CR-200?Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey there.My Sonos products are set to update overnight. However, all of my Ones sans one can't be used and marked as "updating" in the app. It's been this way all day. According to this page (https://support.sonos.com/en/article/sonos-led-lights) they should be flashing orange and white. They are not.I've rebooted my router and unplugged the faulty Ones and plugged them back in. No avail.Can I just cancel this update? What's going on here?

Good Morning Sonos Community, We have a number of Sonos devices being installed into a corporate environment - is there any way of having an Admin override on the APP for master control Cheers

I have a number of devices in my house (Arc, Beam, Amps, Ones,...). Some are in my living room, dining room, TV room, each kid’s rooms, gym, patio,… I would like to limit the ability of kid 1 to connect to device in kid 2’s room (accidental or on purpose). Basically I would like to give my kid 1 access to sonos in their room and TV room. Kid 2 to sonos in their room and TV room. For me and wife I would like unlimited access to all sonos devices including Kid1 and Kid2 room systems. I don’t see this ability in the sonos app. I can’t believe that sonos has not invested some resources in to this feature. How can customers put in a feature request?

Subject line pretty much sums it up. Trueplay “loses” speaker. They’re all there making noises.  Arc, sub + 2 play:3’s.  i know this subject has been addressed before, but the Sonos ppl shut it down before useful advice appears. (Why do they do that? Just leave it open until the problem is solved.) 

As title. Can login on the web version (hence i can write this question!), but can’t login to use my Andriod app. I have reset the password multiple times, have uninstalled the app, have reset the app, have tried to set up a new account… None of these things worked.   Help please! Many thanks 

Anyone updated yet?Any issues?

The Sonos app seems to have been updated and has put Sonos radio at the top of my search results instead of Spotify. How can I revert back or better still remove the Sonos radio all together?

I frequently want to search for music from specific record labels. In Spotify this is very easy. I can search for label:universal and then I will see music from Universal Music.If I use the Sonos app (on Android in my case) the same search criteria returns nothing.I would expect the Sonos app to allow me to do the same search as I can in Spotify.Is this a bug/feature missing in the Sonos app? 

Hi, I’ve been experiencing a bug on my Sonos One players recently.I’ll select a song that I want to play using the Sonos controller app and then select the repeat song button (tapping the repeat button twice so that the icon with the 2 arrows and the ‘1’ inside the circle appears). The song will play normally during the first playthrough, but after that, the song always skips after the first 19 seconds (this is very consistent). Sometimes an error will display in the Sonos app about an unsupported encoding, sometimes nothing shows up.I’ve used both the iOS app and the macOS app and get the same results. FWIW, the song is this one from Spotify.My workaround is to create a playlist with at least 2 songs and then have that playlist play on repeat, which for whatever reason seems to stop the bug from happening.An

Future request.I would like the option to lock the entire groups volume, so that adjusting the volume on any grouped speaker would adjust the volume for the entire group. This would work in the same way as the master volume in the app does. As far as I know, this is not possible now?

Has anyone noticed that when you choose 'All Artist Tracks' from Amazon Music it only shows the first Album in the library, rather than all of them?

Hi,I find that with the amazon music apps, rarely, but sometimes the sound increases by itself by about 40%, and most often it is 5 seconds before the end of a song. Problem between Amazon and Sonos system? Just Amazon streaming service problem? What do you think about that?Thanks 

I have been having MAJOR issues since February 2022 related to SONOS Playlist appearing and disappearing from the iPhone APP. I have an open case and have worked with technical support and no resolution has been found. This use to work with S1 hardware but since updating to S2 it has not worked correctly.When will this be fixed?

Where can I find the configuration for setting the default volumelevel?  

I know the repeat flag stays on for a playlist between usages of the Sonos system, however when I switch to a new playlist, the repeat flag switches off.  How do I globally set Sonos so that it repeats my playlists by default?
