Controllers and Music services

This is offered to try and help anyone else who has just upgraded their Synology hardware with DSM 7 and transferred users and media folders to the new device via configuration export/import and/or backups.  It may also apply to anyone upgrading DSM 6 to 7.In my case, I was upgrading hardware and DSM version. Having done the DSM configuration and data imports from the old device, I was unable to add the replacement Music Library on the new NAS to S2 Sonos, Error 900 was reported. On the Synology, a log entry showed an SMB1 logon was refused.  This was a complete red herring, as I later discovered.Windows clients also would not connect to the shared folders.After a lot of playing around with SMB settings, it transpired from the raw smb connection log on the NAS that the issue was that the connections were refused due to the user not having application permissions.So if you come across this problem, please check in DSM Control Panel “User & Group” that SMB is allowed in application p

My system is not compatible with S2. The app demands that I upgrade to S2 and won’t let me open S1. How do I open the S1?

How long does Sonos to fix an update? My arc sounds way too piercing in the midrange. It's just too sharp sounding now. The arc also has less mid bass with a now overwhelming mid range sound. I wish to go back to the original settings. Even the sub has suffered the low end isn't as solid; sometimes the sub is barely heard. I adjust the EQ and sub level and still not satisfied. This update is no good. 

I know I should probably direct this question elsewhere, but thought I stood a better chance of getting a sensible response from this support community.I have a 38Gb approx Sonos Music Library that comprises a mix of .wma and .m4a files.  Occasionally I would like to play this same music on my Sonos Move (and maybe AirPods, too) via the iPhone/AirPlay in the garden where i have no wifi signal.  The problem is this requires loading the music into Apple Music, which I am happy to do, since there is plenty of spare memory on the iPhone.  Unfortunately, all of the .m4a files import into Music with no problem as you’d expect, but not the .wma files (thanks a bunch Apple!).I have looked at various file converters to convert the .wma files to .m4a, but they are quite laborious and then do not do a good job of converting the Track and Album art.Any ideas as to the easiest way to sync the 2 libraries to ensure all album info exists in both places? 

Why can’t I control my sonos fully though the google home ?or just cast the audio on sonos speakers ? Airplay but no googleCast ?or group my Nest Hub with my sonos speakers ?And let’s not speak about the disappeared volume volume control on pixel devices. As someone owing nest hub and sonos devices, that situation is frustrating. Things could be so much better if you worked together on providing features to your users, rather than screwing them because you can’t get your act together. 

The android S2 app, fails to “find system” from the launch screen where you click “find system” the same algorithm is used for both “lets fix it” or “update network” Neither one produces a result but defaults back to the launch screen. “make sure all your products are powered on. This could take 1-2 minutes.”  Once selected it displays “searching for your system” for approximately 3 seconds it reverts back to “make sure all your products are powered on. This could take 1-2 minutes.”   And I shouldn’t have have a play 1 plugged into Ethernet make use of my system or update the wireless networks.

Hello!  I still use the Sonos controller cr200 with my S1 system.  I recently added the BBC Sounds app (using the S1 app) and that doesn't seem to work on the controller.  Neither does Sonos Radio.   They both work with the S1 app on my iPhone.  However, the Spotify app and 80s 80s Radio app does work on the controller.  Is the reason the BBC Sounds and Sonos Radio apps not working on the Controller due to the type/content of the apps?Thanks. 

Hi! :) I will get married soon and need to take care of the audio in the dinner room.At home I have1 playbase2 sonos one1 sonos:1 1 sonos move.In total they should be more than sufficient to create a nice sound atmosphere. Now I wonder how I can realise that. Is it the only way to give each of them an own room and combine the rooms or is there a smarter way to realise that? What are your thoughts and ideas?

Random tracks/artists are not showing up on my Sonos system, so I’m wondering if I’m at/over the library limit. May I submit a diagnostic to find out?

Since we cannot play youtube if we are not premium, i purchase the youtube premium specialy for sonos… Now why i cannot cast directly from youtube premium app like amazon music, spotify, tidal etc…  

My ex boy friend’s security cameras still connect to my sonos and send alerts all the time. “Someone devoted one XXX Street side of the house”how can I remove his security cameras and stop these annoying alerts please?

Hi all,It has been a while since the Ipad Air 5 has been released and it is still not supported by trueplay. Do we know when the Air 5 will be added?Sorry if this has been asked before, I did try to look for it but I couldn't find anything.Kind regards,Laurens

Ok so moved to the Roam after having UE booms for years. They have a dedicated app that can be used to alter config, see battery levels, change equaliser settings and lots more.I understand that the Roam fits in with Home network and all those things are available via Sonos app when at Home.But once you leave the Home Network and Roam you can't do anything. That's insane. Yes it connects seamlessly and does its main job which is play music etc. But to not have the ability to access the settings is ridiculous. Is there any way you can do it? Even with a 3rd Party App?Thanks

Dear, I try to contact the customer support without any ansmwer since several month.I had a good opinion about the sonos but now I’m ready to says that the customer support be a casper!I really disappointed because since I use the windows application to control my sonos I have problems… Appication don’t fucntion properly.

I have a message: dcomp.dll error!!!If someone have a solution. Every idea of someone will be best than sonos customer services.Thank you in advance

Hey Sonos users!  I am writing for the first time and with some fear whether it is a lack of functionality or my inability, but choosing a new artist in apple music that I do not know, it is difficult for me to choose the album that I could choose.  the chronology of the release of the records would be helpful.  what do you think about my problem? Greg (a satisfied user of a 12-element sonos system) 

So the update today has given me cause to renew my absolutely awful relationship with TruePlay. I’ve had Sonos gear for a couple of years. Every time I have tried to use TruePlay has been an absolute nightmare. 9/10 tunings sound utterly awful, like truly terrible, thin, sibilant, metalic.I have to go through all sorts of contortions, scanning parts of the room and not others, different devices until finally I get something passable. And even then I ALWAYS have treble set to -10 and would go lower if I could.These are expensive speakers. TruePlay almost ruins them. I am not alone in this. A bit of googling uncovers others with the same issue. I just can’t understand how Sonos can accept such an erratic EQ as the only EQ option apart from a simple bass/treble.It could be remedied quite easily. Either a better EQ (6 bands would be enough) and let us choose manual EQ instead of TruePlay. Or at least give us some trueplay options, that is, let us choose say TruePlay warm, Trueplay crisp, T

Front to rear fader option please . Come on software developers.

Hi, folks. I have a few Sonos devices and have overall been very happy with the system. But I do find one bug/limitation extremely annoying. It seems like if you have “too many” files in a local music library, Sonos just can’t cope with it, and shows “No selections are available” any time you try to use it. You have to delete some files to make your library usable again.I don’t use streaming services. I only play my own music, that I own. It’s pretty ridiculous that I have to delete parts of my library or move them to places where Sonos can’t see them (and so I can’t play them on Sonos!), just because Sonos can’t write proper database code or something. I've seen discussions of this problem before, for years, and always assumed this would get fixed with a regular update because it’s such a ridiculous limitation. But I’m starting to lose patience (and would like to be able to buy more music!)My library isn’t even *that* huge, anyway. I’m sure some folks have more music than me. I seem t

Sonos app seems to be draining a lot of battery while my iPad is idling. It says 2 min on screen but 23h 19m background. Weird thing is I disabled the background app refresh for Sonos specifically.this has both happened while the iPad was at home at same Wi-Fi as Sonos and away on another Wi-Fi. I have submitted a diagnostic at number 412593457. I need my Sonos app to not kill the battery while idling. 

I have the Arc w/ 2 gen 3 subs and 2 One SL’s and a Beam in another room. I don’t have access to an Apple product for Trueplay anymore and wanted to know what is the best Apple device to buy for Trueplay? Thank you. 

I have been using my Sonos products with S1 Controller as I have a Play 5 that isn’t compatible with S2 app so I cannot migrate. The Play 5 is a perfectly good speaker, working fine, and I don’t see why I should pay to replace something that is working fine. All good for months and months.Today I try to start the S1 app and I get the attached, which I cannot dismiss other than close. I can no longer play any Sonos device. What have you done Sonos to the S1 controller app, and how can I resume using my system as it was yesterday. 

Is there a way to set up a master favorites list in the Sonos app?  Or if this already exists, can you tell me how to access it or which feature it is?Right now, my favorites come from multiple sources … youtube mixes … sirius radio stations … and playlists from Apple Music.  I often see these listed together in ‘recently played’, but they can drop off there if I play other things and don’t come back for a while.What I’d like to do is be able to pin certain items to a master list that only changes if I change it.  Any help appreciated and cheers!

Hi there, I've had my Beam for 6 months or so, love it, but when searching for music to play thru the app that I have in folders on my phone it doesn't have a search function for actual folders. I find there's no real organisation when my files show up also, it's not alphabetical or date order and I can never find stuff I want to play. The app just seems to randomly list my music, is Sonos going to add this feature or can I do something to make searching for music easier?Cheers

About a month ago, every time I left the house and returned home, I have to reauthorize my AppleMusic account to access my music and my Sonos playlists.  Looking at the conversations, this is a common issue with a resolution recommendation that seems to not make sense.  Now that ipod OS 12.5 is not supported, I cannot even reauthorize my account.  How can I access my Sonos playlists created from my Apple Music account?  Why not simply support the older OS?

Hi,Like the title says :My Sonos Five stereo pair cuts out when receiving low volume from TV on line in. It’s a real pain. I see other people have this issue but haven’t found a solution, I have played with compression and delay to no avail.Can anyone help? Kind regards, L8MAX
