Controllers and Music services

Hi…here‘s something I found today on DE community. A User was reporting the following.(translation used)„While a track (Spotify) is running, I can no longer access Song Radio. Always comes: Connection to Spotify was disconnected????I then have to switch to the Spotify app, the title Search there and then start the song Radio. Then it works.But it's cumbersome and it used to work via the Sonos app 🤔“ I have carried out further tests and can now say with a high probability that it is probably a current bug of the Sonos function "Title Radio", which is implemented by some services.I tested it with Deezer and Spotify each via the current versions of the Sonos app for iOS and Android.Result with Sonos App on iOS:- Title Radio works with Spotify- Title Radio does not work with DeezerResult with Sonos App on Android:- Title Radio does not 

I am an avid UK based BBC Radio 3 listener and until last week constantly had my two Sonos systems linked to the BBC sounds app as a connected service via BBC Sounds. Now it’s stopped linking. I can play BBC Sounds and then Airplay to one Sonos Ray speaker and sub but not to the Play:5. Anyone know what’s changed. I assume some software upgrade. Will it be fixed?

Recent update to Sonos app on Android and now cannot see controls anywhere except within the app itself. No lock screen controls, nothing in notifications bar, physical volume buttons don't control volume. Anyone else experiencing this? Pixel 5 with Android 14.

The Sonos App is completely unresponsive. I have tried deleting app, reinstalling, turning off WiFi, turning on but the App still is useless for me.

 my system was working properly for long time but totally disconnected recently. So i tried to set up new system and reset all devices but still cant build new system despite that sonos app confirmed every new connected device. Previously i saw all devices connected and i could build theathre set up for tv but now i cant even see all devices…

My recommend tracks and albums on tidal are up to date with new music, but when I access via sonos the content hasn't changed in months. I have reauthorised etc but no change? Any advice welcome 

I cannot connect my SONOS products to my new WIFI Router (Asus RT-BE58U) which I made sure was Sonos compatible. Have router set to 2.4 GHz; have tried resetting router and modem. When I select “update network” and get “let’s update wifi settings prompt….with list of speakers. I select and add a speaker, and (after bouncing balls) press join button and finally enter password. At this point prompt says “make sure you reusing the correct password.” Have tried this many, many times with most of the speakers in the list…same result. I know password is correct as I  have added laptop, desktop and printer to the network with this password. Next thought, add Sonos boost to setup, Same result???

Since I returned from a short holiday this week the (updated) apps on my iPhone and iPad do no longer show my music services (or recently played - but that does not bother me as much). I see the app looking for the services (first picture) but after a few seconds it just gives up and just shows blank avatars (that do not work) for the services. This makes the app useless. Has anyone come across this phenomenon? Did you find a cure? 

I have just had to reconnect my Play1 and Play3 and all of me old SONOS playlists have been removed ?? Can i get them back ??

Sonos Arc here.  Pretty much at my wits end on setting up my Sonos Arc using Trueplay.  Trueplay worked fine right out of the box.  Since then have rearranged some furniture in the room and wanted to run Trueplay again.  Now has background noise problems when I try to run it.  Everything turned off, everything has been rebooted, access to my iPhone 14 microphone is fine, but every time I try to run it there is always a background noise error message. Nothing is running.  No one is making any noise.  Very annoying.  The one thing I have not done is to call Sonos.  That will probably be my next step.

I am running a Sonos S1 controller with a series 1 Sonos 3, Sonos 5 and Connect.I have been trying to set up a music library on my Western Digital NAS, MyCloud Home, but keep getting the reponse error 900 which then wants me to change the server stack in my windows registry.Is this for real? Surely there must be some other way? 

I attempted to listen to a Pandora station and nothing is happening.  I’ve removed my pandora account and readded but still unable to stream.  I’ve rebooted by Sonos speaker and no luck.  I can stream SiriusXM but not Pandora.I have verified that Pandora is working through the Pandora app.I’ve tried on both an Android app and from a Mac Mini and both show the same thing.Errors I’m getting have been Network issues or something went wrong.Anyone else experiencing this?  I’ve submitted diagnostics *********.Moderator edit: Recorded and removed diagnostics number

Several more Sonos releases have been and gone, and yet there seems to be no progress with restoring what should be basic functionality in the App which would greatly improve the User Experience:Still cannot save the current Queue to a playlist. Such a basic feature.  The Sonos Windows App can do this, as can third party Apps. Why do Sonos think this should not be included in the IOS App? After playing a radio station still cannot revert back to playing the current loaded queue with the App.  Again easily done in the Windows App and third party Apps.  Would it be so difficult to add a button to the now playing screen to get back to the queue? Alarms can be created, switched on and off - but once created they cannot be deleted?I think Sonos would be better off spending their time restoring some of these simple User Interface issues, rather than seemingly concentrating on secondary issues such as controlling Hue lighting via Sonos vo

Hi Why doesn't Sonos release a Sonos music app like Spotify? Seamless music in 24bit quality.Would maybe solve a lot of issues with various music apps.Maybe one day?

Jeg har problemer med at blive i Sonos S1 AppNår jeg åbner S1 Appen går der ca. 10 sek. Så hopper den automatisk over i den nye Sonos app.  Skal bruge S1 Appen til min Play 5 ( 1 gen. ) Syntes jeg har forsøgt alt det beskrives man kan gøre, men uden held.  Er der nogen der har nogle tips og tricks ?

Can’t submit diagnostics report. Spotify not working through Sonos S2 or Spotify Connect. This is a constant problem.  reset products. Reset wifi. Tried everything. I feel like this is a major flaw in the S2 app that continues to get worse. 

Nine months ago, I posted a question about the missing custom URL feature, which disappeared after the catastrophic update in June 2024. I received a few unsatisfying responses, and nothing has improved since then.I originally bought my system because I could listen to a blues radio service that was, in my opinion, exceptionally well curated.Then June 2024 came, and since that update, I’ve had to rely on TuneIn+ and use rather cumbersome workarounds just to access my custom URLs. Unfortunately, those URLs now disconnect frequently—often several times an hour—and the service is reported as unavailable although it works perfectly.And for the “experts”: this is not a problem with my network, internet connection, or any firewall issue. I can listen to the same radio station on my smartphone or tablet for days without a single interruption connected to the same network (no 4G or 5G connection).So, it seems clear that the issue lies somewhere in the combination

Having had Sonos for several years I’m deeply dissatisfied with seeing large distirbing bugs still exists… for instance:one app user starts a playlist from one phone with app. Another user starts her app and selects the room that is playing - and the playlist switches to the Music last played at phone 2 last room… that is ridiculous… or starting playing from line in in (turntable) in room x and double the sound to another room freezes the entire system (all rooms disappear for about a minute). And the slowness of the ui in general- thats another thing… and integration with Apple Music where it seems tobe almost a manual task to find a playlist for example eg. no search… Are there any “get rid of this none-working-software” in scope or is just a term for using Sonos as it is in 2025. feel free to comment - I’m just about to give up as it seems the buglist is endless and bugs er Way to Big in my opinio

Hi,i have deleted the alarms i set on the app on my lap top and I then re set them. I am still getting the sonos Chime alarm - the speakers are Play gen 1If i then push the pause button on the speaker - the chime alarm stops.The alarm i have set via the app on my lap top plays / kicks in - for example the radio channel i have chosen. how do i stop the Sonos Chime Alarm ?

I have two Apple iPhones can the Sonos App operate my Sonos speakers on both Apps or only one App on one mobile phone. Thanks 

Since the new software update last month I can’t airplay from my iPhone to any of my Sonos speakers. Play a track, select airply options and the speakers are all showing, once you click on a speaker, the tick comes up but no music plays.  after 3-5 seconds it times out and starts playing out of my iPhone speaker again.This is the same wether it’s Apple Music app, YouTube, whatever. So it isn’t a 3rd party app issue. Sonos is up to date on software updates and network updates. and yes, everything has been turned off and back on for a reset :)The Sonos app works fine and plays. speakers work fine with TV and also from my wifes Samsung phone she can play to any speaker, so it has to be an apple to Sonos connectivity issue specifically via airplay.  Any ideas??

Spotify Lossless is now working on my Sonos Fives, but it still says it's not available on my Sonos Ones. Is this because it's still being rolled out, or is it not going to be enabled on Sonos One?

Just moved to Tidal from Spotify and now I can’t do artist radio in the Sonos app.So many threads about this but no resolution? Come on Sonos, any update? This is ridiculous.

Can not connect to my lg tv have tried hdmi and also optical and arc.stll no joy Tv show device not connected
