Controllers and Music services

I’m playing a Spotify album. In the Windows app, the app/UI constantly refreshes (loading icon appears in the queue area every 2 seconds, time values and seek bar flash). That results in some flyout parts like the volume levels to close on their own, making them close to unusable. I’ve made a short video better describing the problem: Screengrab Video TIA,-- Jakob

Hi I've  a projector but u can't able to install the app...it's an android ...how can I try to install the app using ikea device...thx

I have set up grouped speakers in settings.how do I access the short cut? 

Hey,I was just wondering if there’s any future release planned containing profiles for audio settings to be shown on the main player screen on the app for easy switching?? EQ/sub/trueplay settings??I like to turn the sub off at night, flatten out the EQ and engage trueplay to make it more subtle for nighttime listening, but it’s a ball ache going into the settings and changing them all manually, wondering if there is scope for these to be saved in audio profiles to be easily selectable from the player UI. RegardsSteve. 

Unless I really missed it, I don't see an option to mute the soundbar when playing music. I configured the surround speakers to play 'full music'. It would be nice to be able to turn off or mute the soundbar only so that I just get the full stereo sound on the surround speakers only.

I have around 14 different Sonos speakers operating across one network controlled by the S1 controller. I want to add a SONOS Roam for the bathroom however I understand that it can’t be added to the S1 network (please someone confirm this or not). I have a two part question: a) Can I set up and operate both S1 and S2 on the same network and b) can i install and operate both S1 and S2 apps on the same IPhone? 

does using 3.5mm line-in results in lower sound quanlity than using Sonos app?

Hi allI have a 5 - 7 year old mixed system with Playbar, Sub, Play 3, Play 5 and Connect. My Play 5’s are S1 only so I haven’t done any updates since S2 was launched for fear of them no longer working. Everything works great now so I have no need to update.We have just added an extension to the house, and so I jumped on eBay and bought an old 2nd hand Connect so it would be S1 compatible. When I just tried to add the Connect, the Sonos S1 app (tried both on Android and on PC) both require me to update before it will let me add the new device.Can I add the new (old) connect without updating? Or can I update the apps and stay in S1 world? I’m just worried that if I press the update button it will update me to S2 and then I can’t use my Play5’s anymore. I have no idea what the new features of S2 are but I’m fairly sure I don’t need them. Everything currently works great! My PC Currently running v11.2.3.My Android currently running 11.2.10Cheers - Matt

Hej eksperter,Forhåbentlig kan I hjælpe med at løse en udfordring, jeg har.Jeg har en Sonos Connect S15, som jeg faktisk har været glad for i flere år og som jeg (naturligvis) bruger til musik-streamingtjenester, især den klassiske streamingtjeneste IDAGIO og senest konkurrenten Primephonic. Connect S15 er tilsluttet en analog forstærker med ligeledes analoge højttalere, og jeg styrer hele herligheden med en iPhone 11 og iPad Pro.Desværre oplever jeg gentagne gange tilslutningsproblemer ved brug af IDAGIOs egen app, og hver gang foreslår deres support, at jeg tilslutter via AirPlay, men problemet er, at min Sonos Connect S15 ikke har AirPlay. Da jeg for kort tid siden ville teste Primephonic og deres app, konstaterede jeg, at denne KUN kan tilslutte via AirPlay. IDAGIOs app kan (for det meste) selv finde min Connect UDEN AirPlay, men det svinger som sagt meget.Mit spørgsmål er derfor, om der er en genvej til at løse disse tilslutningsproblemer - primært om det er muligt at forbinde Son

I have two SiriusXM accounts, one for each car. This allows me to use two streams as long as each stream is started from different accounts. This will work OK from the Select Music Source and Alexa is set to use one specific account. The problem is when using Favorites because there’s no way to distinguish accounts. It would be nice if there was a way to easily see what account is tied to a favorite before using it.

I used Sonos speakers a while ago, 5 years +. My friend had the system and I was really impressed. I recently decided I needed some speakers at home and remembered Sonos being the best quality. So I purchased the double pack of the ONE SL. I have to say i’m shocked about how much the usability has declined. Have had constant issues with connectivity, no one is available over the phone, can only connect one of the speakers, does not work on wifi, one of the speakers will not connect at all even over ethernet connection. Complete embarrassment of a system.Will be returning for money back, ill go and give Bose a call. Don’t waste your time with Sonos. I have exceptional wifi too.  

Is there a scaleable icon for the Sonos Roam when displayed in the file manager of Windows OS.  

I write to share my solution to enable the Sonos S2 Controller to access my Mac music library; it has been frustrating but I believe the solution is quite simple. First, I have a Mac mini (M1, 2020) running the latest version of macOS Big Sur (version 11.5). My music library is located in the default location. I have the Sonos S2 controller installed on my iPhone. My Sonos system has a Boost, Playbar, Play 1, and Roam. The problem was that my Mac would not allow the Sonos controller to access my music library.To make this work, go to the Apple Menu and click on System Preferences. Then, click on the Sharing folder. Then check File Sharing. Add your Media folder to the Shared folder list. Once you add the folder, you will see several users with privileges listed. Add SonosDMS with Read Only privileges. While you are here, please write down the Computer Name; you will need this information for the final step. Close the folder.Next, click on the Apple Music application. Go to the menu bar

Not sure if this message board is a good place to give app feedback, but here goes:The Sonos app keeps presenting me the banner “The Sonos S2 app is now available Check Compatibility”.Couldn’t the software automatically determine compatibility without prompting me? I have 3 devices, 2 of which are not compatible with S2, and no amount of prompting me is going to make a difference! Not a big deal but just annoying that it keeps coming back even after I dismiss the message.

Is it possible for me to use the beam as a mirror for for phone and tv to make ex(Netflix / Hulu) pop up on my tv and have the sound go through the beam? Basically is it possible to have the beam act as a screen mirror and not just as a audio mirror ?

My laptop was running WIndows 10 20H2 and the Sonos app was running fine. A week ago my laptop upgraded to Windows 10 21H1 and since then the Sonos app doesn’t work anymore. When starting it gives a few popups about updating itself but that fails. I deinstalled the app and tried from scratch but it doesn’t want to install anymore.This is the error I get when I try to install: 

The room plays such an important part in the sound. Could Sonos please enable the Trueplay feature or provide a more sophisticated equaliser/dsp on the Sonos Port and Amp?  Sonos Port and Amp are priced as Sonos premium products and don’t have this feature yet their cheaper products like the One do.Other companies like Marantz, Lyngdorf, NAD offer room correction for their amps without knowing the speakers so this can’t be the reason for not including it. If Sonos added such a feature to their Port and Amp it would give them a significant competitive advantage compared to more similar priced products. Thanks.

Apparently my One SL updated to S2 last night, even though I have auto-updates turned off (as I wanted to avoid this happening). I called Sonos support, who informed me, after much troubleshooting including a diagnostic report, etc., that the update was forced through to all SL units. Resetting my unit didn’t help, as this is apparently irreversible even though I didn’t initiate it.As someone who currently relies on a mixed system of old and new speakers using the S1 app, this seems like a really bad customer experience. I was basically told “yes, we did this. No it can’t be reversed. You have to use two apps now”. At least if there had been some notice of this change I wouldn’t have wasted hours troubleshooting and calling support.Anyone else have this happen to their One SL?I’ve been using Sonos heavily for 10+ years and have mostly enjoyed and recommended it often. In fact, I had just ordered a Move and was going to add a few other units (just moved to a bigger place), but am a bit

Hello AllI have two connect amp with sonos ceiling speakers. Both working on S1 app, I can group them and all. Now thinking of adding speakers to the hallway and living room. i was thinking of getting Play 5 - Gen 2. I was wondering if i can group them all together to play the same music in all of them. or I better be looking at Play 5 Gen 1 speakers?

After power outage no sound out of wired home speakers even though app shows it is playing.  Sound works through wireless sonos speakers and alexa speakers.

Opened my Sonos app in my garden room started playing music and was confronted with a boomy mess. Sounded like Trueplay had been turned off.Turns out Trueplay is not only off but shows as if it had never been set up.  So I tuned the room again.  That worked but it will not show the option to turn Trueplay on or off. Rebooted all the speakers, tried again but although the tuning completes it does not show in the room.diagnostic 1231198605Excuse the title typo, courtesy of Apple autocorrect 

I have been trying to get an official response from SONOS on their continued use of SMB1 which will be removed from various vendors products.  I have been using SONOS since it was introduced with various SYNOLOGY NAS and Windows based computers to store my ripped music. When SYNOLOGY releases DSM V7 they have indicated that SMB1 will be removed and Microsoft Windows has deprecated the protocol.  I will NOT purchase another SONOS product until they provide an official answer on their plans to continue to support streaming music from a NAS that does NOT require the SMB1 protocol.

By using the magnetic mounting plate, battery life gets reduced for below 24h hours! Simply not using the magnetic plates, battery life comes back to normal… learned this from another community platform and couldnt belive that its true!

Hello: I’ve created a number of playlists with various songs from all genres downloaded on my desktop computer. However when I listen to and play back the playlist using my Play1 speaker, many of the songs, because they were recorded at different volume levels, don’t play at the same volume level. Some songs play back louder than others and as a result I am continuously having to increase or decrease the volume on the Play1 speaker, depending on the song.Is there a way to set the volume on the Sonos app or Play1 speaker so that the songs on the playlists play back at equal or the same volume levels?Apreciate any help or insight.Thanks.
