Controllers and Music services

Again….After not being able to access any music library stored on my Macs I gave an QNAP NAS a try in order to nail the major “library indexing” thing of Sonos a bit better. To make it short: No success. The Sonos S2 app on Desktop or mobile device is still not able to get the private local music library. A very long phone call to Sonos support did not solve the problems at all, in fact I had the impression that the supporting guy did not know very much about Mac OS, Unix, file sharing within Mac OS and else but I might be wrong here.The basics:For many years my music and video library resided on external USB volumes connected to an Intel Mac mini running Mac OS Mojave and iTunes. I did not want to update to higher OS versions because iTunes would get exchanged with Apple Music - and Apple Music is not compatible to one of my favourite old desktop apps called “TuneSpan”. TuneSpan so to say “spreads” the whole media library of iTunes to as many drives as You

Hi. I control my tv and music throughout the house via my phone app. Can I simply share the set up I have with others in the house so they can have full connectivity when I am not there? 

Good morning, the new app doesn’t work on my device, a realme X2 Pro (Snapdragon 855 Plus + 12GB RAM + 256GB). The new app is not working. It simply won't start. Here are some pictures:The app shows a logo... It stays on the logo screen for minutes and minutes, then it just goes to a black screen. As you can see, it keeps trying to start, but it never does. Black ScreenI've tried clearing the cache, uninstalling and reinstalling, etc., but always the same result. It won't start.What can I

I just changed internet providers— updated Sonos app— reset my Sonos 1 — all appears Ok but when I choose AirPlay and select the Sonos— it just jumps back to phone— all network connections seem ok- Sonos radio works fine too— just can’t connect — any thoughts?

Hi all,entering the Sonos world with an Arc Ultra, I found only half of my expectations to be fulfilled:TV works, Sonos Radio and Amazon Music run, and, using the Windows desktop app, I have been able to connect NAS media folder and Windows shared folder into the mobile app. Everything looks good, folders and music files are all visible and seem to be running, except there is no sound coming out of the speaker.Maybe one of you has an idea before I contact the support team.Many thanksGerd 

Does anyone know when Sonos plans to allow the Era 300 to receive Dolby Atmos sound via Airplay 2?

My Sonos system is duplicating and showing that I have two systems on my network. The S2 app shows that both systems are identical and regardless of which one I pick they both work(ish). If I log into the web app, it shows two systems, one with all bar one speaker (Five), the other system contains only the Five. I have tried turning them on and off, I have tried a wired vs wireless setup and nothing changes. Is this a bug that is causing the issue or am I doing something wrong?  If it helps, my internet set up is a VM router with the wireless turned off and BT whole home discs providing the WiFi signal I also have a separate wireless access point in the garage which the Five is connected to. Thanks

It doesn’t even list songs past the A’s.Searching works. I can play songs i search for.But they don’t show up in the app. 

Hi, is anyone else having issues with s1 being unable to connect to Sonos? I had issues where speakers were missing & reboot of boost and or rooter had sorted them, but was getting tired of doing this.  However now I am unable to connect to Sonos at all. I have tried rebooting but no success. 

Ever since I got my Ray, I’ve been trying to get YouTube Music playing on it via my Android phone but it refuses to work. I am a YouTube Music Premium member. I’ve also found a temporary work around.When adding YTM to Sonos and signing in with my account that has an active YTM Premium membership, I could not search for any music. It would say it could not find any thing on YTM’s search. I uninstalled the sonos app, cleared cache, made sure all of my apps were up to date etc at least 5 times. I used both Brand and non-brand Google accounts with the same email as Sonos. I also tried removing the Sonos connection in my Google account settings.I attempted to sign in to YTM using the Sonos Windows app and it worked! With the non-brand Google account part. I can search for all of the music on YTM as intended.However, upon reinstalling the Sonos app, it will not let me search. It says my YTM account needs to be reauthorised. I

From the Amazon Music Api Developer program, explaining the change from API 1.0 to new Oauth 2.0 system, still in closed Beta for development, but the basic method, if not configured, seems to automatically convert to the lowest authority-authorisation (if that makes sense) which is simply library read. You can read and play everything but cannot manage any of the following (see table below)This is determined by new/updated authorisation as defined by scopes. Unless explicitly requested, with additional scopes in the below format, Amazon Music will return the lowest authority access, the basic library:read scope. See below. Now, how can we make sure that Sonos is sending the proper requests with the proper scope? Because mine certainly isn't. I can't do anything with my library: here's what songs, when playing, look like. Can only "View Artist on Amazon" - seemingly not even album! Can't add to library, favourite/like/upvote song (or dislike/downvote), crea

I was very pleased when Sonos reconnected me to my personal iTunes library 2 or 3 months ago. Two weekends ago I discovered that using my Samsung S23 I am unable to get out of a playlist. When the iTunes library returned I was able to jump out of a playlist to an individual artist or scroll up and down a play list. Now I am stuck in the playlist and can only navigate the playlist using the forward or backward arrow on the song playing. Is anyone else having this problem? Do you have any advice on how to fix this?

Our Sonos system comprises two Play 1 and two One speakers. We control the system from our two iPhones. If one of us dynamically links two speakers to play the same music (i.e. not using named groups), then stops playing any tracks, the other iPhone is unable to unlink those speakers and link different speakers. The previously linked speakers appear to be “sticky”. Sometimes, after waiting a few minutes, functionality returns,. It seems to me that the linking functionality, when applied from different iPhones, is flaky. Our system is up to date. We are using app build 80.14.09. We have an iPhone 11 and an iPhone 16. Is this a bug, or does anyone have a solution?Thanks

I have resisted moaning/complaining about the Sonos App but I have now reached the end of my patience, I have never been so frustrated with anything in my whole life than the so called Sonos App upgrade. I have several Sonos products which I do not know how many times I have performed a factoy reset, how many times I have removed the App from my iPhone and iPAD and it is hit and miss whether anything gets back to how I would expect technology to work in this day and age, all very disappointing. I had no problems prior to the App upgarde, I now have a Christmas Album through Sptify playing on three of my Sonos components and I have absolutely no control over them, I can’t even stop the music from playing, the only way I can stop the music playing is by switching each component off, this is just madness. So what is my issue, I have absolutely no control of my components through the App, no volume control, unable to deslect a component that is linked, unable to change the music

The Sonos app on my iPhone worked until today. It now sees my wifi but doesn’t see my system. My Sonos devices are showing up on my router as connected and Airplay still works. Deleting and reinstalling the app did nothing. Anyone have any ideas?

I was having trouble connecting Sonos to Soundcloud and found this post (https://en.community.sonos.com/controllers-and-music-services-229131/can-t-connect-soundcloud-to-sonos-6897655) which described the issue I was having.    After a bit of mucking around I found the solution which was to enter the code provided on this page. https://secure.soundcloud.com/activate  Unfortunately the post above was closed for further comments so I could not add my solution so I figured I would create this post.  Happy New Year! 

Just purchase a $5,000 entertainment system. When I try to access mny Sirius account thru Sonos the channels are all greyed over. I see several threads have been opened re this issue so I know I am not alone. What is really bothering me is Sonos enginers blame Sirius & vice versa! Also, it appears this issue has been brought to Sonos attention quite some time ago… Shame on you Sonos for not resolving an issue so many customers have brought to ligh!!!!!!!

Just a tip in case your downgrade to S1 fails during detection of your Sonos device in the S2 app after starting the downgrade process.In my case I did the downgrade via my Android phone which was connected to my 5Ghz WiFi. I had to switch my phone to 2.4Ghz WiFi first and then start the downgrade.

I’m unable to connect to any Sonos devices in my house.  The console on my Mac gives the following errors:“### Ignoring device found without pairing ID: 61856318877894, 'Sonos Arc System'”, “APSAudioFormatDescriptionCreateWithCMFormatDescription:289: got error -6735/0xFFFFE5B1 kUnsupportedErr”,“ptpClock_GetSynchronizedNetworkTime:560: false condition”, “BAE [0x549B]  [0xA87D] ### APSNetworkClockConvertUpTicksToNetworkTime returned an error: -71974 for anchorTimeHostTime = 125263.270, anchorTimeHostTimeTicks = 3006318482364”,.The one that concerns me is the one about the pairing id.   Is anyone else getting that message?  It appears that the lack of a pairing id is what’s preventing any of my Sonos devices from receiving Airplay(2) streams. I have the streams set to ALAC, 24 bit, 48kHz, is that compatible with Arc?

Is it only me facing the track skipping issue with Spotify while on wifi?Moderator edit: combined posts

Songs randomly change, mid-song, on Sirius XM, and change to another. It just happened again:  Led Zeppelin song was playing, stopped, and Stephen Still’s song starts playing, until its completion. I can’t discern a pattern, but it happens many times a day. Can’t determine if it’s Sirius XM or Amp. Anyone else experienced this? Thx

Sonos people...how can you exist as a brand, company, whatever? Really. Is it because of the marketing??How the f is possible that in 31 December 2024 to have the same issue with "need to login as system owner" error???? When this error was brought up by several customers for months already.How can you not give a single s**t about your products? Absolutely insane. What do you work? What exactly have sonos employees done for months, if today a user can encounter the same stupid error??? You products cost a hell lot of money...and after we receive the products we look like clowns trying to do BASIC AND SIMPLE things with your dumb products. Absolutely unbelievable.How the f can we get rid of this error? We tried everything. Unistalled the app, reinstall the app, reset the speakers. What the hell is going on? Noone from sonos is using the products???And how can a SPEAKER in 2024 not have the most trivial and basic feature...BLUETOOTH?!?! It is insane...no ot

 Certain playlists I'm using from YouTube music seem to multiply once they get into Sonos for playing, as I go into the queue the playlist goes from 150 songs to 33,000 songs. It's just multiplying the playlist over and over again. This is causing issues with the same songs playing repeatedly. I've tried changing the playlist in YouTube music, I've tried disconnecting from YouTube music and reconnecting, I've tried deleting the queue and trying again, and nothing works.  Please help  Thanks 

I think this is a request for enhancement. Spent some time searching the community and didn’t find this already discussed.It would be nice if the Sonos PC and Mac apps could be enhanced (or maybe a separate app created) so that a PC or Mac and its connected speakers could serve as a Sonos “speaker.” That is, it would appear in the Sonos app in the list of devices in the Sonos system and could be grouped with other Sonos speakers.For example, when I play music from iTunes on my PC, using AirPlay I can send the sound to any or all of my Sonos speakers and the computer’s connected speakers, all nicely sync’d. When I’m playing music from Pandora using the Sonos app, I’d like to be able hear that in the room where my computer and its speakers are.Well, looked some more and found this. Sounds like the old-timers know this (fairly ob

I have a Sonos one, Play 3 and Move and up until recently I could connect all 3 devices on my ipad and play them independently but now the One and Play 3 can only be seen on my ipad if they are hard wired into the router.I have tried to add them by bluetooth but neither can be seen when searching unless they are hard wired in.Any idea how I can get them back on the ipad without being hard wired in?
