Sonos updates take forever!

hieach and every time there’s a system (HW) update it takes forever to installI tracked the issue down to… some Sonos speakers registered in my account are in a different house (my country house) and the updater keeps searching for *all* of my speakersI believe this behaviour started with OS2 This can only be fixed by Sonos, right? :-/

losing my hair!!

For the love of God please can someone help. For so many months now I’m in despair with the 6 Sonos speakers I have in this house!Everytime I try and play an album from my Amazon prime account (which was always working perfectly for 3 years) now isn’t!! It either doesn’t play the artist at all or plays 1 track or so and then plays something completely random. What is that about?!! I’m seriously tearing my hair out!! Please help someone. Thank you

Sonos app freezing on alarm settings

In the last two weeks, my app freezes whenever I try to adjust any alarm.I can toggle an alarm off or on, but cannot adjust the alarm, delete and alarm or create a new alarm.Would prefer not to “reboot devices” as we have many installed in hard to reach locations.Happens on multiple iOS devices, so it’s not a phone storage issue.

Adding Tidal to Sonos

I used to use Tidal and it worked fine. I switched to another streaming service for a while but left Tidal in the Sonos list of services. Yesterday I resubscribed to Tidal and it worked fine. Today it will not stream to Sonos. I have removed Tidal from the list and tried to re-add it but get an error message "something went wrong". Having read some other answers  I have checked my Tidal login details and changed the password but cannot add Tidal to the list of services. Any suggestions please? All other streaming is working. This applies to both phone and tablet (both Android).

Can't Trueplay on iPhone 14 Pro

I can’t use trueplay anymore. I can’t retune the speaker because I’m afraid it’ll disable for good. I’m using iPhone 14 pro and I’ve used this phone to enable Trueplay at first.

why spotify?

It seems very limiting to me and I would of prefer if Sonos let you know in advance that your primary music source comes from Spotify and not from whatever you like to play from your phone.Spotify to me is very limited and hard to search for songs, always throw more modern versions of the songs not the original and if a musician is not on Spotify you won't find the song you are looking for.Youtube video is much preferred for me as I can find any songs that comes to my mind, plus the autoplay is way better than Spotify and remembers your preferred style of songs, Spotify autoplay is not smart this way and it just keeps throwing horrible songs.So now I have to play music from my computer not from my phone.

Can’t use Trueplay Tuning on my iPhone 12, iOS17

As being said, I can’t access to Trueplay Tuning on my iPhone 12. The iOS version is 17.0.Just got a Beam gen2 few days ago, and I’m trying to use the Sonos app to set it up. But it showed ‘not yet supported with this iPhone’. Honestly I’m super confused because iPhone 12 is a 3-year-old model and I do spot that you guys said iPhone 12 is certainly supported now. So I just don’t get it why it is not working.

Cannot Setup with PIXEL 6A due to PIXEL only allowing 5G

Hello, I have a new Phone and New router, with Sonos Play 1 speakers. The router is 2.4G and 5G. I renamed the 5G so I can set up Sonos using the 2.4G connection. I connected my computer using the 2.4G, and tried to set up Sonos from the computer, but the PC controller told me I MUST set up with my phone. But….the Pixel will only allow a 5G connection which I cannot override to use the 2.4G connection. This means I cannot set up my sonos speakers. Any help would be appreciated.

sonos app on ios 16.6.1 frequently showing cannot connect

Hi, I have a Sonos  arc and subwoofer. I have the Sonos app running on ios 16.6.1. The app very frequently disables the Account, System, Services and Voice and shows the cannot connect to the arc and subwoofer. There will be a period of minutes and then it will enable the options and then connect or ask me if I want to reconnect everything. In the mean time I am listening to something on the arc so actual playback is not affected. It seems as though there is a periodic connectivity issue between app and Sonos system which is frustrating when I want to use the app to change songs. I have ensured in iOS that the Sonos app has Local Network enabled but that in itself hasn’t fixed it. Anyone any ideas please?

Moving Sonos and MP3 Files to new Laptop - Can't now find MP3 Files

Hi.I have a Sonos 2 soundbars I can access and control it from my Android phone and my Old Windows Laptop.On my old Windows Laptop I have a music folder of MP3 files. I can play these files through my sonos from my Android Phone and Old Laptop.I now have a new windows laptop which I've installed Sonos onto and I can play radio stations and control which Room/Soundbar the music goes to etc.I've transferred the MP3 files from the old laptop to the new ones into a MUSIC folder. In Sonos app on the new laptop, I’ve added the MUSIC folder Sonos etcHowever I now can't see these MP3 files when I use my Android phone.I think I've missed an important setup step to allow my phone to see these files and play them.I can play them fine when playing direct from the new laptop windows Sonos appWhat do I need to do to allow my phone to see the music files on my New Windows laptop. I assume I need to set Sonos to share these files?

sonos connect keeps disconecting from network

I have a sonos connect that keeps disconnecting from the sonos app and our network. I go in and factory reset it, reconnect it to our sonos account, play music on our hard wired speakers for maybe a minute or two and all or a sudden the sonos connect can not be found and the music stops. Any suggestions for how to fix? I did send a diagnostic ticket to sonos 1066180950.
