Cannot change name of speakers

typing over the room name?  I would try from desktop controller.  Don't select from the drop down list just type over name

Hi User378933,

Is your system not allowing you to change the speaker name or unable to find the option?

If the system is not allowing the room name to be changed this is normally due to wifi interference.
Would you mind submitting a diagnostic and replying with the confirmation number.
Here is a FAQ showing you how to submit a system diagnostic

Let me know how it goes.
Thanks,

How do you change the name of the speakers?

How do you change your profile name?

Which do you want to change, the speaker name or your profile?

Both

Well, I'm not sure about the profile name. To change the speaker/Room name, go to Settings->Room Settings->(Room name)->Room Name and edit the Room Name.

Note, if this function is not available, then you probably joined the beta and are using an iOS device. As stated in the beta announcement, iOS devices are not included in beta, and will lose some features if you load the beta firmware to your Sonos system. So to edit a room, use another Controller type (Android/PC/Mac) or remove yourself from the beta and update to get these features back.

I am having problems changing the name of a zone. In settings I just have controller settings.

If you have no room settings then either the controller version is out of step with the player firmware, or you're using a 'partially supported' operating system. What device are you using, and what operating system?

i dont know what you mean by device. I have speakers connected to sonos amplifyers, connected to a PC ( there is only the Sonos running on the PC - it is dedicated for this purpose). and the Sonos controllers. thanks
