Controllers and Music services

I have had Sonos products for many years, with around 15 speakers, new and old.  These include old Play 1, Play 3 and Play 5, along with more recent Beam, Sonos 1 and Sonos Sub, along with a Sonos Roam.  Whatever I do with Sonos 1 or Sonos 2 controllers on my iPhone and constantly resetting these, I cannot find any way to make the system work smoothly as it used to.  Sometimes speakers are not recognised, sometimes rooms cannot be added and also volume changes take forever to take place.  Why have Sonos made it so impossible to have a simple solution to manage a fully integrated system?

When trying to add a shared folder playlist to my Play3, having entered all the required path details and then touched the ADD button, it circulates but the process never completes. I have ensured the folder has all the necessary share permissions. 

A few days ago, my symfonisk remote stopped working and there is an alert in the ikea home smart 1 app that it cannot connect to my 2 symfonisk speakers. I have tried re-adding the speakers and cannot. They show up fine in the Sonos app. Unfortunately IKEA was not of much help, so I’m curious if anyone here has had this issue and been able to fix it. Thank you. 

I can’t find the TruePlay option for my Sonos Arc when on my “Living Room” page on the new app, where I have an Arc (gen 1), Sub (gen 2), and 2 Sonos One SL’s as Surrounds. This is the same on my iPhone 15 Pro, my iPhone 11 Pro, and my iPad Pro OLED. Any ideas?

I’m trying to add a speaker has disappeared off my system (but that’s for another topic when I’ve got it sorted) I hit the + To add speaker or component and it says “sign in as the system owner” but I am already signed in.

I have a Roam 2 and an Era 100. I cannot get the app to recognise them both at the same time. They are on the same network and are recognised individually if the other is switched off. I'm not trying to stereo pair them as that's not poss but it would be nice to have them playing the same music in different t rooms. Is it just me being a muppet or what? 

I recently updated to the newest version of the Sonos App and now I am having a number of issues. Initially I had a difficult time getting the sonos system to the wifi system. Now it does not allow me to connect to the steaming music services I keep getting a message that it is unable to play the station. It is extremely frustrating.

Updated internet that had Sonos system and now is saying it equipment needs an update. I click update and app says update failed with no error code. (Help not available)I am assuming equipment is too old for new software. Can I bypass update and use as is? It is now stuck in a loop saying needs an update-won’t update. 

Every morning, the Sonos app shows no services. I have to re-add my Apple Music subscription, and I now have eight Apple Music profiles in the Sonos app (all with the same apple ID). Sonos Radio disappears too and comes back when Apple Music is re-added.  How can I make Apple stay? I was hoping to expand my setup, but it won’t be worth it if I have to add my services every day. 

tune-in radio series are a constant issue with dropouts, disconnecting to service and reliability - there are conversations and questions regarding this issue on this support chat that go back a number of years yet the issues remain the same and are unresolved. the service is not compatible with Sonos and should be removed - and this will remove the frustration.

Setting up/transitioning preexisting player and connect amp system in new home, and I keep getting Not Connected. The system has worked on and off, but I can’t seem to get it reliably connected and usable on my network. I have mesh wifi and ethernet. I have connect amp connected via Ethernet and playbar connected via WiFi, or at least that has worked previously. Now when attempting to use the system I get the Nit Connected and when attempting to Update Network in System Settings, it sees the devices, but keeps telling me I need to do a Factory reset on the devices, which I have now down 2-3 times on each device. Help! 

Why do I have to pause between certain actions for them to take effect correctly when using the latest android app?I was editing the queue yesterday and noticed that if I deleted entries in quick succession several would simply reappear whereas if I paused and counted to 2 between my delete requests they would all be removed as expected.It seems the performance of these new apps still needs a lot of work.the windows version is a joy to use by comparison, fast, responsive, logical and clear as to what’s its doing. (all system and apps at latest available versions as of today.)

I’ve had Sonos for 3 years, I’ve never been able to alphabetize scrolling or search through my Tidal Playlists. Is that available now, and how do I find it? 

I can add a playlist to the queue once that playlist is playing I want to add another playlist to the queue. I go to anI go to a playlist and choose add to the end of queue and it says unable to add to the queue.

Is it possible to find a worse piece of software than Sonos desktop? Once again mine has stopped working, terrible stuff.

Is this a political isssue? A sonus issue that will be fixed? Or something else? Until this morning my pbs stations have playing well on my speakers for a long time  

Hello, the problem I’m reporting here is probably the same as one already reported into this community a while ago (in 2021). For reference, you can look to this thread from 2021 that was unfortunately discontinued.In short, the problem is as simple as he is (very) annoying. In Spotify, when the user flag a song as licked, the song is automatically added to the list of “Liked Songs” (see the capture I made in my Spotify app that show my current Licked songs list. When I select Sonos as the output for the sound from my iPhone, it is impossible to play any of the song that is into this list. Would it be a Spotify bug, I would not be able to play songs when I listen to a bluetooth headset. Yes, it not run only when I stream from my smartphone to my Sonos system. It is the same problem while I stream

The entire day my app can’t play anything through the Sonos app. Doesn’t matter which service I try I get an error message saying “could not connect to the server”  This is just another in the endless number of issues with the app. Yes I have restarted everything a few times.

I have used VLC to create an M3U playlist of 10 songs from my NAS, Sonos can see the playlist and will allow me to put the playlist on the queue (I’m using the PC controller) but the queue shows the songs in a weird format and if I try to play them I get a message saying the share //192.168.50.90/multimedia does not exist. This is weird because that address is the one that the Sonos music library folder is attached to in settings.The first few lines of the M3U are below:-#EXTM3U#EXTINF:176,10cc - Good Morning JudgeCds2/10cc/Deceptive%20Bends/Good%20Morning%20Judge.flac#EXTINF:169,10cc - Honeymoon With B Troop.flacCds2/10cc/Deceptive%20Bends/Honeymoon%20With%20B%20Troop.flac The songs appear on the queue as Good%20Morning%20Judge.flac and Honeymoon%20With%20B%20Troop.flac Anybody any ideas what’s wrong. All i Wanted to do was use an easier program to create a playlist of my own music and then be able to play that in Son

Is there a way to add Everand app to Sonos content services? It’s a great audiobook app. 

From the "Now playing" screen, when you touch at the bottom, the speakers playing in the group show first followed by speakers that are not playing. If you slide finger up to see the speakers lower in the list everything is fine. If you slide down to head towards the top of the list, the entire screen disappears and reveals whatever screen was behind it. To get back to that point where you can adjust the volume, you have to go through several taps.  This behavior can be very frustrating because sometimes it will scroll while other times, it will slide away . There is an "Apply" button at the bottom of the volume adjustment screen so in my opinion, we should be required to hit the "Apply" button when we are done and the screen should not disappear when we are simply trying to scroll back up to the top. Is there a way to mandate hitting the "Apply" button when you are done and otherwise keeping the screen there regardless of how you scroll?

every time I use Sonos it takes forever to load up. response on functions is slow, especially volume control / pause / play. It keeps losing the names on my amps and goes back to default. it’s never been as bad as it Is now on performance. The app design itself - still waiting for something great to happen. 

Hi there,I have a Premium Family Spotify account. I log into my daughter’s Spotify account on Sonos before she plays music using a voice command with Alexa but that music still appears in my own recent listening history on my own Spotify account.Why is this? Is there anything I can do stop this happening / affecting my Spotify algorithm?Thanks,James

I have an individual Apple music subscription. On my apple devices, I can view the Library, which shows, albums, playlists, artists etc. On the sonos app, I have added apple music as a service, I can play music etc, but can not view any of the library content, I get the error message “No items available”I have spoken to sonos support, and removed the service and re-authorised etc, with no change.Sonos support asked if I have a family subscription, but I only have an individual subscription, why would I need a family subscription, it is my sonos setup and only me uses it?

After using Sonos music system, when I turn on our TV in our great room, the TV sound is broadcast to 7 other rooms in our house.  How do I effectively prevent TV sound in each of the other rooms?
