Controllers and Music services

Does anyone know what the latest March Sonos S2 App Update included? There is no info on the Sonos Website under release notes. Thanks in advance for any answers 

I currently use airplay on iPhoneX to send FLAC files with FlacBox to Sonos. The iPhone storage of 256GB is getting small, so thinking of going with portable music player such as Astell&Kern, but those players don’t seem to have airplay.I am looking for portable player with >=1TB storage, can create FLAC playlists, has decent built in DAC (better than DragonFly cobalt), and can play playlist wirelessly to Sonos (airplay? Any other option?). Any recommendations?I could go with iPhone13, but prefer getting rid of the dongle DAC for headphone listening.

No encuentro la opción Trueplay en la App. Settings / System/..…Tengo un Android Samsung A71Sonos play1 un par configuradas en estéreo. La versión de mi App es S2  

Getting more and more frustrating to play Sonos via Windows..Error 1101, ‘unable to play music’, empty library ...Reading thru Tips and tricks I see often“Reboot each Sonos product in your home by unplugging the power cable, waiting 10 seconds, then plugging it back in. Once you have rebooted all of your Sonos products, check to make sure they all show up in your Sonos app, then attempt the update again “really ? They don’t show up when re-plugged in, I have to re-add them one by one,.. 6 speakers + beam + Sub.. What a pain..

Hello,Do you know if it’s possible to deep link to sonos app?I’d like to open the app Stations section directly from a link or shortcut in iOS. Or maybe different scenario with opening the app listing my Playlists.Is it possible?

Hello,Is it possible to connect directly Beam to iMac via HDMI/Thunderbolt cable ?Does it work ?Thanks,Michel

HEllo everyone, This is my first post. I am a single grandmother from Bath but was born in Portmsouth I just wanted to mention that I love Sonos but I was deveistated when the CR100 was discontinues. I paid a graphic designer to make this artwork which I have now hung on my prick boardGod bles and have a nice weekend afternoon Della  

The  split the system idea to S1 & S2 is straight garbage.  I  have over 15 sonos speakers in my home and Im supposed to start over again because Sonos wants to play games with the controller?   Now Im an angry customer whose taking a new play 5 back to the store.  Way to lose sales sonos …….brilliant idea to make new equipment that isnt compatible, if I wanted that, I wouldve bought a different and a cheaper brand of speaker.  I guess i get an old play 5 off ebay.  Because new speakers wont work with the previous models.

I previously used a Connect and an old Pioneer 100Wx2 receiver in one of my rooms. I decided to upgrade to the AMP and sadly, even though the AMP is more powerful I cannot get the same sound out of the amp. I would love to be able to boost frequencies to my liking, but the included EQ is too basic.I would hate to have to go back to the old connect and receiver. Please consider this my vote for a multi-band EQ in software.

The cover art album is not good on playing screen There are some pixels. Something possible to do ?    

Hi all,I'm having the same problem which have been mentioned in this forum a couple of times, the : “Unable to load pcdcr.dll. Please re-install.”I have tried everything that has been sugested (Uninstall, reinstall, reboot, .NET fix, run app as admin, update windows) and so on. But no luck so far …I am running Windows 10, 21H2  Thanks for your support 

Hi, I have a philips 10bdl4551t with Android 8.1 that I would like to install the Sonons App S2 on to control the sonos speakers in the office. But the philips 10bdl4551t is a pro screen and don´t have a playstore, I have manually downloaded akp, but it fails to install. Is there an official APK to install?

About a few months ago my Spotify stopped playing songs 30 seconds into playing then on my wireless Sonos Playbar home theatre setup. It would also skip songs, and sometimes out of the blue it would start playing another song without any input from me, all using the Spotify App on my iphone. I researched many threads online and even contacted Spotify. I tried alot of the suggestions provided to no avail. Then I tried the Spotify App on my smart TV and it worked flawlessly. So why doesn’t the Spotify App work on my iphone?This got me wondering why. Then I read that Sonos only uses the 2.4 ghz wireless band and not the 5 ghz band. So I checked the wifi connection on my iphone and it was connected via the 5 ghz band. So I changed my iphone wifi to the 2.4 ghz band and now Spotify works flawlessly again. At least for the last week or so. I thought I would relay this to others with similar problems. Good luck.

I have been using Sonos Desktop to play my stereo enabled Roams since Alexa just keeps telling me to get the skill I already have :). Now I have a problem using Sonos desktop to search music. Nothing is coming up at all except for “my music” that’s on the PC - none of the subscription tracks are showing at all. I saw this in a few dated threads but never saw a solution. My Sonos S2 desktop app was recently updated a week or so ago. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem or has a solution. (And other services are fine on the desktop app, and I can see my amazon music subscription fine from my iphone)

I have a Sonos playbar and Sonos 5 speakers. I only hear the playbar and not the speakers. I have the volume all the way for the speakers. What do I need to do to hear the speakers? 

I changed the name of the PC hosting my Sonos controller and music collection.When I try to play a track I get the message:"Sonos unable to play <track-name> cannot connect to <serer-name> because the server cannot be found" How do I fix this without reverting to the name change?

I always hoping the volume level can show with numbers on the slide bar and I could find that it's now available on IOS Sonos App... and can also access to EQ settings very easily. But why this is not available for Android Sonos App? I believe it won't be that difficult? Please help to do this asap, thanks!

The IOS 15.3.1 update has made Sonos S2 app not work well.  It is tough and locks.  Does anyone have this problem? How to fix it?

I saw a related post on this topic but it seemed to be a phone specific issue (i.e. Google Pixel).  I’m using iOS devices and am experiencing strange behavior.  I connected my Amazon Firestick to the Move via Bluetooth and it works great.  But the Move shows up in the Sonos App as Offline.  So I can’t do anything via the app - see battery %, change the volume, connect with other speakers, etc.  It’s appears to be a “dumb” BT speaker that I have to operate manually using the device buttons on the Move to change volume.   Out of curiosity, I connected my Roam to the Firestick via bluetooth and had a completely different experience.  It does not show as Offline in the Sonos app but rather a completely functional Sonos speaker.  I can see the battery level, control the volume, group the Roam with other speakers in my network, etc. - which is awesome.  See below for full functionally pics in the Sonos App when connected via Bluetooth.  It seems very strange that Roam has this full functiona

I see that a few people have asked when Sonos will around to compiling their macOS desktop app for Apple Silicon, and the answer given is that Sonos doesn’t talk about forthcoming software releases, but it’s probably not a high priority.Sure, that’s fine. Who would I be to question their engineering priorities? But, a really good option for people who want an Apple Silicon native app would be to simply run the S2 iOS app in macOS. All you would have to do is open the App Store in macOS and navigate to your account, and the “iPhone & iPad Apps” tab. Only the Sonos S2 doesn’t show up, even though it’s affiliated with the Apple ID that’s logged in.iOS apps will show up in the App Store on macOS unless the developer specifically disallows them from doing so. There’s no excuse about engineering resources — this is literally flipping a switch to turn something off. Even if you use a workaround and extract the Sonos S2 program itself (as an IPA file), you’ll get an error message if you tr

Hello,Every time i start sonos to listen to the radio for example, i get a barage of adverts. I don’t recall asking sonos to do this, but i’d like it to stop.Anyone know how to turn this off?D

I’m trying to setup a Dakboard wall display at home, and it has Sonos integration to display what’s currently playing.  However, it is failing to display the album art that is tied to the current song.  In talking to Dakboard, they’re saying that it’s failing to work because Sonos is grabbing the artwork locally rather than from the Internet, and the Dakboard screens are rendered from their cloud service.  That being said, the music I’m testing playing with comes from a streaming service, and I don’t currently own the music and don’t have it cached locally.  Dakboard supplied me with the URL to the artwork that the Dakboard Logs say it’s trying to grab it from, and the URL is indeed a local URL to one of my Sonos speakers. Dakboard says that this is something they haven’t seen - that normally Sonos provides them with a streaming URL to the artwork if it’s streaming music from the cloud.  Is there something I need to change on my side to change what URL is being presented by Sonos?  Cer

Hi Sonos Feature Teams,with your ongoing focus on content (such as Sonos Radio HD, Curated Playlists) it would be really cool if you could partner with Roon (more than just being compatible with Roon as endpoints) in order display their rich content (album reviews, band information, lyrics, AppleTV app TV:Remote, recommendations, enhanced search, additional album art, etc.) for us music lovers. As the Sonos speakers are already in the home network, there would be no need for a local Roon Core but only a cloud-service integrating into the Sonos App (and support for more end-devices like AppleTV, FireTVStick, SmartTVs,...) would be needed. This would really enrich the user experience - at least I would be willing to pay a subscription fee for such added value. Please contact me if you want to hear my ideas.Roon Review: https://www.headphonesty.com/2021/05/introduction-to-roon/

An odd problem I cannot solve. Kitchen and office speakers both have morning alarms set for 06:45 to play radio with no time limit. They randomly ungroup so this best way, but when I come down they are not synchronized so I group them manually, have my breakfast in the kitchen then go into my office next door to work. However, at exactly 11:00 every morning the speakers ungroup and turn off the radio. Neither of the alarms, as I say, have a time limit. What is so special about 11:00am? Phil

Hi Sonos Team,please create a native Apple:TV (maybe also for Android TV) which displays current album art, song, musician and potentially other information for a selected audio zone as well as basic controls (volume control, next song, etc.).Thanks
