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 pe

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.

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

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   

Anyone know why one particular Spotify playlist (not one of my own but another I follow) won’t load in the Sonos app.  I get an “Unable to add songs to queue” message always.  The playlist has over 4K songs in it - is that the reason?   If so - why are there these limits?   I can’t change it since its not my playlist and its one I listen to often - until now.  

Have had Sonos for years, they have always been finicky with clumsy software, but the S2 app is an abomination.Wanted to add a Play One to my system, then out of blue it decides it can no longer find said system. After multiple attempts and resets I was thankfully able to set everything up, and since I use airplay I could then circumvent the horrid app and uninstall it.Hopefully I won’t have to deal with Sonos software again for a very long time, I was close to trashing everything if it asked me to unplug my router one more time.Great sounding speakers but Sonos you guys suck at software!

On my MacBook and iMac the Sonos Controller has a Sonos Playlist, but on my iPhone it only has Imported Playlist is this a difference between Apple OS and iOS or is there a way to add a Sonos Playlist to the Sonos Controller on the iPhone? Also, I have unintentionally deleted a file in Music on my iMac which had resulted in Sonos not being able to connect to my Music file. I have now created a replacement file and my Sonos controllers on the Macs recognise it and Sonos works fine accessing my Sonos Playlist. However, on my iPhone because there is no Sonos Playlist, just am Imported Playlist, I cannot access my music as the the Imported Playlist shows" No selections are available" Could you please advise how to solve this problem. Thank you.

I just put Vipre Advanced Security on my Windows 10 computer and the firewall is blocking Sonos.  I know that’s true because when I turn off the Firewall the app works.  Please don’t refer me to the article 688 on the Sonos site. It does NOT address Vipre and is no help with Vipre.  I suspect I need someone who ran into the same problem and solved it to help.  

Not a major issue, but the Rova Service “station” picture displayed against Sonos Favorite stations is missing from the latest Win10 V2 Controller (13.1.2). It displayed OK with previous versions of the Win10 controller and also appears fine on the current IOS V2 controller (13.1.2) for I-Pad or I-Phone.Ross.  

Hi can anyone tell me how to tune my Sonos system please ? I have hearing problems and need to turn down the base and  up the treble ? The sound seems distorted to me ! I can’t find any buttons and am not good with technology! Lol 

I’m considering paying for the Sonos radio subscription. I already pay for ITunes streaming. I like the Sonos stations. My one hesitation is that there doesn’t appear to be a way to listen to Sonos radio outside of my house. Is there an app that would allow me to access my subscription while on the road?

As anyone used one of the many automation apps on Android to toggle the TV Autoplay setting?I have a Playbase set up in a 5.1 setting.  Since the Playbase only has an optical in I connect my components to my TV and then run the audio to the Playbase.  Since my TV controls my input device I leave my Sonos set to “TV Autoplay”.  That way if I’ve been listening to music through the Sonos App it automatically shuts off and switched back to the TV input whenever I turn on the TV.  Works great!But, sometimes when I’m gaming I prefer to continue to listen to music through the Sonos app and that means I have to tap SYSTEM, then MY ROOM, then scroll down, then turn off TV AUTOPLAY.  And I have to repeat this when I’m finished gaming so as to avoid the rath of my wife when she tries to watch TV and doesn’t get any audio.I’d like to use Tasker, or Automate, or IFTTT, or some other tool to set up a one tap item on my phone to complete all of the steps to toggle this setting

HiI have yet to find an elegant way of getting podcasts onto my sonos system.My latest attempt is to stream from my android device but Sonos seems to require that the podcasts are stored in a specific folder. But no podcast apps on android seem to use that folder to store the actual podcast file. So again I am struggling to find a way of getting this to work.I tried linking my sonos account to my pocketcasts account but that never seems to refresh the subscribed podcast list.Why is it seemingly so difficult to get podcasts on sonos?
