Controllers and Music services

I tried pairing my PC keyboard to my Kindle Fire HD8 which I primarily use as a sonos controller at my desk.I was able to type in the search bar and use the volume controls on the keyboard. I was wondering if there are shortcuts that will allow me to search, and select from search results? This would be amazing if possible.

Some icons for the radio stations in "My Sonos" are blank.When I play a station with a blabk icon, the correct icon appears in the darkened bar at the bottom of the screen. So I presume the icon is available.Refreshing the app’s cache doesn’t help. How can I get the missing icons?(Background info: Android app, version 14.20.1, Dec 2022)

we’ve moved from Spotify to Apple Music. It’s a shame the Sonos implementation of Apple Music is lacking this feature over Spotify.  we listen to the discovery and new for you playlists and would love to tap to add to a playlist.  It was talked about 6 years ago….Any updates?

I’ve been running my system for 10+ years now, and one little feature always bugged me in the Desktop controller. I am predominantly using the Desktop controller to run my Sonos system, via a mini PC connected to my TV.The issue:The progress bar for any music I play is occupying only a minimal part of the screen in the top middle. There are miles of space to the left and right of it, space that is completely unused. I have used music players on my PC that will use the full width of the window for the progress bar, and adjust the size of the progress bar relative to the window size (i.e. Mediamonkey, MusicBee and others), allowing for much more precise control when trying to skip through audio files. Now on my 65” TV, the bar is just ridiculously tiny and skipping to a specific part of an audio file, especially in an audio book for example, is very tedious - and, imho, unnecessarily so.I have attached a screenshot, underlining in yellow the current

I will often search for an artist, and then browse their albums. I want to listen to their most recent album, but based the list of albums doesn’t show years published. Furthermore, as far as I can tell, there’s no way to sort by date published. Am I missing something?  

My Amazon Prime Music just stopped working.  Had been working for several years.  The account is not authorized.  I’ve tried to reauthorize, and seems to complete but it is not ‘authorized’ when finished.  Have tried deleting Amazon Music from ‘Music and Services’ and then re-adding it and seems to complete fine.  But then it is not authorized. Any suggestions?

Hi all for BBC Sounds to be available as a music source, is it sufficient to have a UK based account or do you need to be connected to a UK /VPN server.   many thanks  

My Sonos S1 goes offline a lot. Even when wifi still working fine.  But the worst thing about it is that if I’m listening to an audio file on Audible, for instance, when Sonos goes back online the book goes all the way back to the very BEGINNING of the book. It’s infuriating. Especially as there is no way to know where you were which makes you manually search for it.  Anyone else experienced this before? Thank you so much in advance! kind regards,  

Hi,I am having a setup of multiple sonos speakers (livingroom: arc with sub and two ones, bathroom: one, bedroom: two symfonisk, outdoor: move, ...) Everything was fully functional regarding spotify until one month ago.Now super weird behavior - livingroom, mancave etc works super well with spotify both via spotify app on my phone as well as via sonos app Selected rooms / speakers do not connect at all to spotify If I group speakers and start with the ones working e.g. livingroom and connect them to spotify and then linking in the non working speakers step by step - they all playNo change in router software, router rebooted, hard resetted speakers, setup system completely new, wired and wireless, carried the speakers around in my flat in case of wifi coverage - it seems that some speakers are just completely broken regarding spotify, others functioning.Btw - broken speakers can play anything else via the network (from internal

How do I clear all the paused stations on each player?I was woken in the night by one speaker suddenly deciding to un pause.

Since I switched to Windows 11 I can't add folders to my music Library settins. 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 "DELLPC" refused to let Sonos connect to it.

Hello,New to Sonos. I have a pair of One SLs being delivered this week, an Arc on order and an S3 sub sitting here still in the box. I plan on using the SLs as a stereo pair in my office strictly for music.  When streaming high resolution music from the Sonos app via one of the music services, (Qobuz, Apple Music, etc.) does Sonos provide you with the audio format details such as the bit rate, sampling rate, etc. or does it simply just indicate HD or something along those lines?  Thank you. 

I accidentally hijacked a Sonos Move in the home of a relative, who lives in another city. I played music on her Move when I visited and was connected to her WiFi. Now when I got home and tried to play Spotify music on my own Move, the music comes from her speaker. This is spooky. I renamed my own Move and now I can choose which Move, in which city, to play music on. We are all on S2. Is this a bug or a feature? Is this a Sonos or Spotify problem?

I still don’t understand why the standard Deezer feature rich experience is not available inside the Sonos application. Sonos just does not want to make any improvements here and it would significantly improve my user experience. I was thinking of getting a 2nd Roam but if I want both stereo and missing options in Deezer’s native environment, I can’t do it because Roam wont support bluetooth sterio pairing and the Sonos environment won’t support the full Deezer experience. Disappointing.  

It’s 2022. It would be just an excellent experience to have a widget to add to support toggling volumes without needing to open the app. While I know there’s third party solutions I trust Sonos with both support and privacy. With Apple’s OS fully unified from mac to iPhone, it would be just a cherry on top for the Sonos ecosystem and help my older family easily interact with the speakers. 

Before Christmas I had telephone discussions about why having the above S2 and Mac OS combination  the former says it finds Sonos on my network but on clicking ‘lets connect’ eventually says Not Connected - Your Sonos Product was not found. I was told a solution is being worked on.Can anyone tell me when this issue is expected to be sorted (by Sonos or Apple)?Given my investment in Sonos and Apple products this is frustrating and I had expected a fix by now.Fortunately, my Sonos system remains usable via my mobile AppHelp!

Buen día comunidad Sonos , el sistema Sonos Beam 2 Gen  cuando esta sin uso siempre queda con los led encendidos o  hay algún método para apagarlos , o el sistema necesita estar siempre en espera? Gracias 

I have a SONOS Move and there are two people in the house who use it.  We have individual Spotify accounts, and I want us to be able to log in separately.  Last week I was listening to spotify on my earbuds and she tried to listen on the SONOS and my playlist kept taking over the SONOS unit.  How can I avoid this? 

The app works so bad it is unbelievable.How can a major company get away with this?The Apple music so called integration works really really bad! Any plans for a new ?

Podcasts fromIphone App not showing up on Sonos controler How can I listen my podcast app (Iphone) on my sonos system

(tv#1) I’m running a Sonos arc sound bar on a Samsung tv using the sonos2 app, All is working great. (tv#2) I’m running a Yamaha YAS-209 sound bar on a Samsung tv using the Yamaha app, all working great.Can I pair the Yamaha sound bar to the Sonos app so I can control everything in 1 app ? 

Have recently changed wifi routers. Followed the reinstall recs and seemed to have navigated that successfully…. except: When streaming from my Apple Music account (only), I seem to get sporadic skipping and ultimately an error message concerning the strength of my wifi. I do not have issues with Sirius, Sonos radio or streaming via a Bluetooth connection to my equipment. Thoughts? 

My neighbor can connect to my Sonos speaker, intermittently. How can I prevent this?

I am trying to stream Audible and Sonos won’t get past ~4:16 when I’ll get the error message ‘Unable to play ‘Audible’ access denied’. I will then restart Audible, it will play another 4:16 second and repeat the error, over and over.I called the Sonos 1-800 # and they said I was getting interference. I turned off my error network and this fixed the problem for about 24 hours. Now the issue is back.My other streaming services (Tidal, XM Radio) work fine and I’ve never had this issue. I’ve tried with a Sonos Roam in a different room and get the same problem. I’ve tried streaming Audible on my phone (not on Sonos) and I get past 4:16 easily, no problems. So, the issue has to be with Sonos. I’ve tried deleting the Audible access in the Sonos app and that didn’t solve anything.I’ve been using Sonos for 10+ years now and have never had a problem like this and am very frustrated.I’m using this with Alexa but the same problem happens when I use the

I have disabled Dolby Atmos in Amazon Music Unlimited but it still plays Dolby Atmos when using the Sonos app.I am not sure if this is an issue with the Sonos app not honoring the Amazon settings or if the integration with Sonos is with the Amazon development team.Either way, I would like to suggest that Sonos or Amazon exclude Dolby Atmos when it is not enabled in the Amazon music settings.Thanks,Wazza
