Controllers and Music services

My poor dog is freaked out every 4th of July by fireworks going boom around us.  I understand that it is just not just my dog.  I would like to come up with a program that Sonos could play that every once in while it would randomly go BANG!  That way our animals will get used to the fireworks and not be bothered.  Does anyone know how we can make this happen?   Thanks.

I have a small Sonos system, consisting of two Play5's (Gen 1), configured as a stereo pair and installed in a large living space, and a recently acquired One SL, installed in an attic.The Play5 installation has performed flawlessly for several years. Its Music Library resides in two shared music folders on my wifi network: a NAS drive and a MacBook Air.When I acquired the One SL, I followed the procedure for setting up a split S1/S2 system. First I reverted the Play5's to their original status. Then I set up the One SL, using the S2 controller app running on my iPhone. As part of that setup, I pointed the Music Library to the two network shares, and that setup recognized both shares and allowed me to successfully index the library.The S2-based One SL system is currently running perfectly and can access all music on both shares.I then successfully reinstalled the two Play5's, using the S1 controller app, also running on my iPhone. I linked them as a stereo pair, also successfully.But I

A good number of Sonos folks have their music libraries on WD NAS drives so I’m sharing this tip here.https://community.wd.com/t/action-required-on-my-book-live-and-my-book-live-duo/268147 WDC Tracking Number: WDC-21008Product Line: WD My Book Live and WD My Book Live DuoPublished: June 24, 2021 PRODUCT SECURITY BULLETIN UPDATEWestern Digital has determined that some My Book Live devices are being compromised by malicious software. In some cases, this compromise has led to a factory reset that appears to erase all data on the device. The My Book Live device received its final firmware update in 2015.

Hi there,   I just bought the Sonos Amp to connect it to my speakers (which are from a different company). My speakers are quite big, but for the sake of my neighbors I do not use them at full volume. However, when I try to use the touch bar on the Sonos Amp, the sound effects are incredibly loud! It is like the sound effects are blasted at a significantly higher volume than the actual music and this makes the touch bar unusable for me. Actually I do not care for the sound effects in general, but there seem to be no option to disable only the sound effects, but only the buttons in total. I disabled the buttons now, because I simply cannot use them this way, but this solution is not really satisfying. I found some topics on this questions and it seems like there used to be no option, but these threads were rather old and the topics are closed. Thus, I’d like to know if there is any update and maybe now there is an option to do this? Or is Sonos at least planning this feature? I am

Hi All,This is an odd problem, at least for me.  We have four 6th Gen Fire HD8 tablets.  Three of them connect to Sonos with the app, no problem.  One, however, does not.  It used to, but no more. I did all the usual: First, I reset the Fire tablet.  No luck. Then I wiped the Fire tablet and started all over. No joy. Multiple uninstalls and re-installs of the Sonos app. Nothing. The Wi-Fi on the tablet works perfectly. The Sonos app (S1) connects to the existing system, but then repeatedly, invariably reports “We can't connect to Sonos”. Router was rebooted. No effect. Seems like a strange problem considering that the Fire tablet otherwise functions perfectly including the Wi-Fi. And that all the other Fire tablets (same model, same OS) connect easily to Sonos. Any suggestions would be welcome! Thank you. Matteo

I want to stay with the the original sonos app but I am not getting the option to do so.  it does not appear in the Learn More section as instructions say it will.  Any one else have this issue?

With Apple confirming that Airplay 2 will now be capable of streaming 24/192 to an end point with a capable DAC will Sonos be making plans to support this?My own end point is a Sonos Amp which i believe at the moment is only capable of 16/44 through Airplay 2.Does Sonos have any plans to support Apple Music’s 70 million customers who from June will be able to stream in Hi-Res?

I am having issues establishing Apple Music / I-tunes from an I-phone on the Sonos Move. During set-up, when trying to add Apple Music the menu asks if I’m already a member. After clicking this button, instead of showing the “Apple ID” password login, a screen asks if I want a free trial. After clicking “not now”, the screen disappears. Any suggestions. Thanks. 

Can you disable the automatic switching to tv source when the tv is turned on?This is quite annoying for my particular use case. The best option for me would be a feature where the automatic switching happened when the tv volumn button was activated, but a tolerable alternative is disabling it altogether. 

If you have an old Airport Express v2 (or off eBay) you can connect the headphone jack to one of your Sonos Connect/Port  inputs and have Lossless Apple Music today without waiting for official Sonos support.You just AirPlay (AE2 supports Airplay2) and you will see Lossless on your iPhone / iPad with some cool audio quality.It’s Lossless only (huge amount of content already available) not Atmos as inputs are just stereo...

I have had a Sonos system for around 12 years, I have the 2 x AMPS and a Sono’s PLAY 5.All been working okay but at the weekend my Play 5 had disappeared off my network.  So I went to add it back on, the phone app told me I needed a system update, so all my Sono’s barring the Play 5 got updated.I then went to add the Play 5 to my network and was told the phone app needed updating, which I did.Then I went back to my updated app to add the Play 5 and was told ‘OS on this device is no longer supported!!  version of app isn’t compatible with the Sonos system!!’What the heck!  My android OS is up to date, and the Sono’s app is now telling my I can’t add MY play 5 back onto MY network!!!!To cap it all the windows 10 app no longer allows the user to add speakers to the network either.Given the amount of money I have spent on Sono’s to play music from MY NAS on MY speakers I’m very disappointed when things like this happen.  I’m expecting to have perform a full factory reset to get everything

Does anyone know if it’s possible to bluetooth music to the original play 1,3,5 speakers …I want to be able to play from like the bbc sounds app but can’t see this is possible ( or using the airplay option ) Feels like I’m being forced to upgrade all my speakers for a basic functionality- I have 5 …  TIA  

Depuis ce matin, 23 juin 2021, TunIn interrompt régulièrement la diffusion de la radio et j’entends un jingle TuneIn. Extrêmement désagréable et de nature à me pousser à me débarrasser de mon matériel SONOS s’il n’y a pas de solution rapide pour supprimer ça.Depuis un certain temps TuneIn m’envoie de la publicité à la mise en route de la radio. Je n’aime pas ça non plus. Pendant plusieurs années ce phénomène n’existait pas.Très déçu de SONOS.

Hello. I have just linked my turntable to my new sonos 5 and love it. I was wondering though if there was a way to use a custom icon instead of the line in icon? I’d like an image of my turntable here rather than the default line in logo, almost like selecting an album art? 

I am in the process of moving my iTunes Library to my new Mac Book-Pro from my old Mac. The problem is that my Sonos playlists have songs with paths to files that point to my old computer. Is there a way to change the paths in my Sonos Playlists that do not involve re-doing the playlists from scratch? Or, alternatively, can I use the same Computer Name in my new computer, as defined in the Sharing folder in System Preferences, as the old computer? Other?Thank you!

My husband and I both have iPhones and the S2 app. We use the SAME log-in on both phones - same wifi network - HOWEVER, I see some speakers on my phone and he has the others showing on his phone. So basically, it it impossible to show ALL speakers on the network with the SAME log-in. What the heck is happening? Constant issues lately….HELP!

This is a community question.  My wife found an internet site, trees.fm, that offers forest sounds - birds chirping and such. I was able to add it via the URL to my “TuneIn”, but it would not load.I can accept that. Question: Does anybody have such a site on their Sonos? Don’t want rain, or oceans, or babbling brooks or running water.sorry for the goofy question. Thank you if you can guide me. Sonos S1 Play:1 Tracy

Is it possible to upload `Sonos music playlists from `Sonos App to my Garmin Watch Device

As I previously discovered in another thread, streaming to Sonos using Airplay 2 causes the existing Sonos groups to be immediately ungrouped.Assuming we have a hypothetical setup of 3 groups Sonos speakers, which have been grouped in the Sonos app, the following behaviour is exhibited:Starting an Airplay stream to Speaker A will cause speakers B and C to immediately ungroup. Playback will continue on Speaker A only. While Airplaying to A, grouping A, B, and C, will allow the Airplay stream to be propagated from A to B and C using the Sonos protocol so the stream stays in sync across all speakers.  After Pausing or stopping for a minute or two, playing the Airplay stream will again immediately ungroup the speakers. The speakers must again be regrouped in the Sonos app. You cannot use multiple Airplay streams to stream to multiple speakers. For some reason, Sonos speakers will drift out of sync when doing this. The only way to use Airplay with multiple speakers is to regroup using the S

I was wondering what the latest news is on being able to hear BBC Sounds on my Sonos speakers.I don’t seem to be able to get that BBC service on my Sonos.It seems the comments answers to the FAQ’s are a year old.

This has probably already been asked, but I tried putting "The OS on this device is no longer supported" into the search tool and nothing came back so I’ll ask anyway…I still have a couple of old devices which I manage using the S1 app on my phone, which is an Android-based Moto G4, running Android 7 (kernel version 3.10.84).When I start up the Sonos S1 app, I get a banner at the top saying "The OS on this device is no longer supported", and providing a link to a Sonos article that says that the S1 app requires Android 5, 6 or 7.Any suggestions how to resolve this? I also have the S2 app installed on the phone, but even if I make sure that none of the S2 components are running (by rebooting the phone before running the S1 app) it still gives me the message.It’s not an entirely trivial error report, because it stops me from doing most of the things that I want to do, such as adding a radio station - that is not allowed by the app if your phone is deemed to be “too old” - even if it isn'

I have the new Sonons Roam and over the weekend was able to operate it from my Iphone 12so I could open Spotify and play music or a podcast and then choose the Roam to listen to that Spotify stuff. Today I am working from home and the Roam is greyed out on the iPhone However it will play as airplay to the Roam The same Spotify account on my iPad will allow me to choose the Roam to play to. Sonos S2 app is the one on both bits of Apple kit.I have a Sonos beam attached to the TV for a soundbar and two Play 1 which are set as stereo speakers but I change them to Surround speakers for the Beam as and when a movie or gig is on.On Saturday night I had the Beam and Surround Sound Play 1’s and the Roam behind us when a gig was on TV and it all sounded brilliant. Its just frustrating that the Roam is now not showing on my iPhone app  anyone got any hints
