Controllers & Music Services

In the 10.1 app update there was a feature called recently played under the My Sons tab, however since the 10.1.1 update this is no longer appearing. I am also not getting My Sons Settings under Settings where this option can be turned on/off. I have done a controller reset and tried setting it up again. Anyone having the same issue?

When I first open the Sonos app on my iPhone, everything works fine. I set the music playing, all good. However, if, after say two minutes, I decide I want to turn the volume down slightly, I unlock the phone and when trying to access the Sonos app I get the message 'We can't connect to Sonos...let's try a few things' Usually, closing the Sonos app, turning the wifi off on my phone and then on again, then opening the Sonos app again sorts it, but I have to do this every time and its infuriating. Anyone else get this? Note: wifi signal is strong/full throughout, and nothing else that is connected to my phone via wifi has this same issue. Every time I get a notification saying that Sonos software is going to be updated, I pray its going to fix this but never does.

I use a Mac running MacOS X 10.9 Mavericks. I've been totally fine with the status quo of the past 3 or 4 updates that have limited the usability of my desktop controller but still allowed me to edit the queue and add music services. That's about all I need from my computer. But I made a horrible mistake to assume that the status quo was going to last forever. I didn't read the release notes for 8.4 before updating and now it says I have to update my entire computer's OS, which is not an option for me. I wasn't expected MacOS X 9.0 support to be completely dropped with an seemingly insignificant incremental update (it was the update to 8.1.1 that killed it for me I think), and I think that a warning that my controller will become essentially bricked should be displayed before updating. Is there any possible way to downgrade my system's software from where it is currently (8.4) to 8.0 or below? I don't have any Sonos ONEs so that's not a problem. Or, if that's not feasible, are there

Hi, I recently bought 2 x Sonos Ones purely for the Airplay functionality and being able to stream from desktop. However, despite seeing the speaker choice in the mac's output setting and being able to select it, no audio actually routes to the speakers unless I am in iTunes. I can see in the Sonos app that is receiving play information from Airplay, but no actual output. This should be possible correct? I have been able to route system audio through airplay enabled speakers before. I am running Mac OSX 10.12.6 and V 9.3 on the Sonos Ones. Thanks

Google Home and Google Assistant with Sonos

I have a new Sonos smart house system, and a Mac 10.10.5 with all of my music on it. I am trying to access the music directly from Sonos. The "easy" Sonos online instructions say all I have to do is download the Sonos App, click +, etc and all will work. Only problem is that there is only one App, and it is ONLY for Mac IOS versions 10.11 and higher? Is there no way to get an older App, or otherwise access my music library? (I have a new X iPhone with the library sync'd to it).

I've just replaced a dead amp with a new one. But the system thinks the dead one is still on the list of rooms, even though it's been thrown away. How does one remove it?

Is there a way we could set a turn off time for some of our speakers? My daughter often doesn't turn off her speaker when she falls asleep and on a few occasions the hot tub (connect amp) was left on after people came inside. The same way it can be turned on with the alarm it would be great to be able to set a "turn off" alarm.

When I first set up my connect with my Sonos ready Onkyo receiver, the Sonos app would switch the inputs on the Onkyo when I selected music to play. Now it will not switch. I have to manually do it with the remote. Any idea's? Thank you.

My friend convinced me to buy Sonos, and he showed me how to get music streaming to it. But he likes to mess with people. So every time he's over at my house now, he changes the music stream from his phone - just to fluster everyone. I've changed the Sonos password online (i.e. from a Windows computer, via web browser, log in to sonos.com and change my Sonos profile password). As I recall, that's the same password I used during the Sonos speaker setup. But after changing that password and restarting the Sonos Mobile app on my phone, I am still able to access my Sonos system without being prompted for a new password. How do I lock my prankster friend out of Sonos while still allowing him to use WiFi when he's at my house?

I just ran the most recent update of the controller on Mac (version 8.2, build 39247040). I notice that Pandora created a new subfolder of "My Stations" and inside of that, my stations are sorted by date most recently played. I'm sure that was requested by some users, but is of no use at all to me. I want to browse channels alphabetically as it has been. Is that a preference I can change or is this the new sort order we all have to use now?

When I browse artists in music On this Phone, an album art is pulled and displayed as an icon for the artist. When I browse Music Library it does not. I’d like to suggest an updated to fix this please.

Just got a Play:1, set it up successfully with my i Phone added another i Phone and i Pad. All working fine. Down loaded the Windows Controller. When I tried to connect to my existing system I get the message "No existing Sonos system could be found" Any help would be welcome.

With the latest sonos app causing the ability to control my sonos speakers from the lock screen now unreliable and missing, I'm searching for alternative ways to easily adjust the volume or pause/stop the sonos with a third party remote control.....either hand held or wall mounted. It is quite annoying to have to unlock my phone, open the app all just to adjust the volume or pause music. Who has used 3rd party remotes with success.....which ones did you use? FWIW, I am wanting this to control the older Sonos Play:1 speakers. I have 3 of them......all mounted high and out of reach.

I have two Sonos Play1’s on the same network. The Sonos app sees both players as separate rooms, and currently, the app can play the Sonos in either room (as expected) What I would like to be able to do is to add an additional level of security so that anyone using the app to play music would have to add a password or something similar to play music in a specific room. The reason I need this functionality is because the two Sonos Play1’s I have, although they are connected to the same network, they are in different buildings. So with the current set up, someone in Building 1 (Room1) is also able to play the Sonos system in Building 2 (Room2), which is clearly a problem! If there is a solution to this problem, could you please advise.

I was told to post this in the community. Who do i have to contact to talk about adding an option to add LINE-IN to the FAVORITES MENU Thanks, Sonos is awesome!

Does Sonos is planning an update for Android users to be able to listen video streaming services through Sonos speakers. Reference: I just bought 3 Sonos One speakers.

kiss is my goal but per the usual app gyrations, Sonos app is anything but simple, for me. As the Dao talks about, everyone else is sharp, I alone am dull and have no end of confusion using this system. How do I find my likes across several devices that I use to control my play1 and 5? I’m talking real basic here as playlists and likes are scatter across 3 iOS, 1 Android, and one iMac.

If I have 3 sets of speakers connected to one Sonos Amp (living, kitchen and bedroom) Can I play different music through the seperate speakers Can I select to play sound through only one set of speakers ? Cheers Andy

I have created a few Sonos playlists and I would like to copy the playlist songs to an SD card for playing in the car. I've searched and searched but all references I find refer to uploading songs or playlists to Sonos, I cannot find any references to how to download/export a playlist to other devices. Is this possible? And if not is this a feature that can be considered for future updates? It is an incredibly simple feature to implement so I am amazed it hasn't already been implemented, and it seems a shame to spend so much time building playlists in Sonos that I can't make use of on other devices. Just to clarify, all the songs I want to download/export are on my network, i.e. I'm not talking about downloading anything from any streaming services. Thanks Mark

Hi all, Do we know of, or have any inclination if there is or could be a Sonos app added to the Playstation network?

Get error message “cannot add songs to Queue” and sometimes code 701 when trying to play from any source. Have done resets galore. Submitted diagnostic. #135648292

How do I remove a sonos user fro my account

I have five Play 1 speakers in my house. I love using them with Sonos or radio. I often play same music on all speakers at the same time but I always have to manually adjust volume on all speakers. I can use volume slider and it increases/decreases volume by the same amount but it won't sync the volume between speakers. Is there are "Volume Sync" functionality in iOS or Mac apps for Sonos speakers?

I recently bought a new PC running Windows 10 and did a new install of itunes. I synced my Sonos system and all seemed fine. Recently I bought a CD and imported it into itunes, created a new playlist and then updated the music library in Sonos. Unfortunately the new itunes playlist is not showing in Imported Playlist on my Sonos. I have read a number of articles on here and it seems to be a reasonably common issue, but none of them seemed to offer a solution. What can I do?
