Controllers & Music Services

So I love our Sonos-system but i have kids that sometimes have trouble starting up music in their rooms and if not being at home we can’t really help at the moment. Been checking out different apps but not really found a good one and when asking the Sonos support the only way to do it is to remote control a unit on the network. That is possible but would really have been a lot nicer to just be able to do it through a app or something.So guess I would like suggestions but would also like to lift the subject for a update in the Sonos app which is what i would like the most. 

My Mac laptop which is configured with Catalina cannot see the Sonos S2 system I am running, I have removed firewall and changed all privacy and security settings but still no joy. My wife who has a Big Sur computer can see the Sonos S2 system but unfortunatley my company is not upgrading to Big Sur just yet so i am stuck on Catalina with no music. Has anybody got any thoughts on how to fix  it. The company runs Sophos EndPoint as an antivirus that i cannot disable - i am sure that it should not stop Sonos but just saying in case there is a settign in Sophos that needs changing.

My windows 10 S2 app, keeps asking to update. I updated is it already 6 times.I reset the app and I downloaded the app from Sonos and reinstalled it.Problem persist. Please advice

I would like to buy a Roam but this only works with Sonos 2 and I have a Bridge and Play 5 that only work with Sonos 1 (I also have 2 x Play 3 and 1 x Play 1 which should work with Sonos 2).Currently I have the Sonos 1 app running on my Win 10 PC and Android phone.Router is BT Smart Hub (1).My plan is to move the Play 5 to my workshop and leave it and the Bridge working with Sonos 1.Then install Sonos 2 app on Win 10 PC and Android phone, then add the existing 2 x Play 3 and 1 x Play 1 plus a new Play 1 (to replace the Play 5) and new Roam to Sonos 2.This means I will have a hybrid setup with both Sonos 1 (via Bridge) and Sonos 2 running on the same networkMy questions are;Is this setup feasible, will Sonos 1 (via Bridge) and 2 run on the same network?Can I link the new Sonos 2 to the same music folders on my Win 10 PC as currently linked to the existing Sonos 1I understand that the two systems will be completely separate so how can I duplicate my Favourites and Playlists from the exis

I am getting totally frustrated with Sonos.  As a system, I think they sound and work great.  Their ability to Integrate with third party music services is beyond horrible.  It sort of reminds me of the old days with my Squeezebox (Logitech Media Server), The LMS was indeed powerful, but needed constant babysitting to do what you needed/wanted it to do and to keep it running, but it had a nice user community that were able to contribute.  I don’t miss all the trouble shooting I had to do, but I do miss the support from the user community. So lets move on, and after this gets posted, I’m sure a representative from Sonos will kindly post a reply along the lines of “thank you for reaching out to us bla bla bla…./  we will forward that to our development team bla bla bla…./  we are currently looking into that, but have no ETA into your problem...bla bla bla.  I’ve noticed that sort of recurring answer here on the Sonos boards, polite yes, helpful no.  This Is a major frustration I have rea

I have one Sonos One SL and two Play:5 gen 1 and so I use the Sonos S1 app on my iPhone. I now want to switch to a new wifi network but it seems to me that I cannot just choose that in the app. Is there an easy fix for this? Or do I eg need to reset speakers and/or delete and download app again? Thanks in advance

I’ll be setting up my WD My Cloud PR2100 this weekend. I’ve transfered all my files from my old-n-slow Mac to an external hard drive. I have a new laptop that I’ll be setting up this weekend. So my question is after I set up the Nas will I be able to transfer my music & photos over to Nas using the external hard drive? Or do I need to transfer them from ex hard drive to laptop first? And how does Plex come into play with the transfer?

Hello, we have a Youtube Music family subscription (since Google Music dissapeared unfortunately). When my wife uses the SOnos app on her phone to search for her playlists, she only sees mine. She has her own Youtube account, but for some reason Sonos only shows mine. How can I solve this?

How long until Sonos release an app for the Apple Watch to take advantage off ?

Hi,I’ve recently upgraded my TV from a Samsung UE65KS9000 to a Samsung QE65QN95A.  While my old TV allowed me to discreetly turn up the audio using my Sky Q controller - it never showed the awful OSD for the volume Samsung have, the new one does it regardless.Does anyone know of a way to turn the volume of the arc up without activating the OSD?  Even if I use the Sonos App the OSD displays.  I wish Samsung gave you the option to disable this!  Any suggestions\help would be appreciated.All the best,Paul.  

Following THIS POST which is now closed for comment:I’m in a similar place with old S1 kit and v10.3 of the android app on my Nexus7 mkII tablets, which keeps me going just fine.I’ve got a couple of Windows 10 64-bit machines that could do with a Windows Sonos controller on-board- but I still need to avoid any system updates that would make my Nexus 7mkII controllers useless.Do I need an old Windows version to prevent updates ? If so, which version and where can I download it to install?For info:On this desktop, I am still running the Windows controller v 10.3The laptop has no Sonos software.I can see the Sonos site has an S1 Windows download (currently SonosDesktopController1126.exe)I also have SonosDesktopController103_0675797637.exeandSonosDesktopController1061_3385173777.exeandSonosDesktopController112.exefiles available.

does my iMac have to be always on for the music library to be available to Sonos?

Does iTunes song Volume Adjust setting carry over to Sonos? I'm playing from Apple Music in the Sonos app. I have some acoustic tracks in a playlist that need to be raised. I have increased the individual song volume in options. Will it also be increased through the Sonos app?

After having streaming dropouts for a week or two I checked out the Sonos page on incompatible hardware and found my recently purchased and installed gigabit switch was incompatible.  I plugged my Boost back into the router rather than the switch and all perfect now.

I replaced my Bridge with Boost and updated to S2. I have installed the system and yesterday it worked with my iPhone 6 and iPad 4. My iPhone 12 cannot find the system in the Sonos app. There is no problem to play with Spotify. Today also the iPad has lost connection with Sonos. I have allowed integrity/local network.

The Spotify account is my account. My wife uses it through her Sonos app on her phone. I use Spotify throughout the day while I’m at the office and/or car. My wife will be at home using Spotify through the Sonos app. I’ll be at the office using Spotify through the Spotify app, and we cut each other off. We can’t both be using it, even though we’re in 2 different locations. Any thoughts or does she have to have her own Spotify account? 

Will the Roam support Apple Music lossless playback? Thanks.

I love the Rain Rain app with its library of soothing sounds that I play from my Apple XS. How do I connect (wired or preferably wireless network that Playbar is connected to) from iPhone XS to Playbar? Airplay is integrated into Rain Rain. I have a Vizio smart TV as well.

I have connected my phone via headphone jack to my gen1 play5 speaker aux input, but I get no sound output, do I need an in line amplifier to boost the phones audio output to get this to work.

Can I create one playlist from 2 different streaming providers (ie. Amazon music & Spotify)?

Call me crazy but would love to receive some kind of notifications on new stations being added and/or being removed whether in app in the email box or another way. Think it would help in promoting it to the masses as well. Also, having some way to “review” stations whether 1-5, thumbs up or down, or sometimes, often, alot or never would be nice. I know Sonos gets the usage numbers but it would be nice to have some direct input as well. 

I have had problems connecting to my Synology NAS. Having tried looking for an answer on the web and getting nowhere I phoned Sonos and after an hour I was no further forward. I eventually found a workaround , not a solution. I found if I unplugged my two One SLs and connected to the NAS Library using the Play 1 which worked correctly. If you try the play music from the One SLs you end up loosing the music again and have the access denied message. However, if you play the music from the Play 1 and link either or both One Sls to the Play 1 you can play the music. The One SLs can only play whatever is playing on the Play 1. At least I can play my music. Hopefully this might get sorted some time, but not holding my breath.

Hi Sonos Imvery satisfied with your product , I could be even more satisfied if you could add 977 hitz channel daytona to your channel , thank you

Is it possible to stream internet audio from a MacBook through Sonos? Specifically, is it possible to stream audio from a website accessed on a MacBook, through either a PlayBar, or a Sonos Connect? When I open AirPlay on my MacBook, it shows another set of Sonos speakers I have (Play 5), but it doesn’t show either a PlayBar, or a Connect system I also have.If this isn’t supported directly in the Sonos app, are there any third-party apps that might do it?There are a number of old, closed threads on this topic, but I couldn’t find answers in any of them. Thank you!

hi,if I buy a Sonos Five can i add a external bluetooth adapter by using jack 3.5mm cable to the in line port?thank you
