Do not upgrade to the new app do not buy any Sonos equipment until the app is working again!!! SONOS - do the decent thing and stand up and apologise properly. No more of your silly Californian tech soundbites please. 

Hi, I have a large primary system with a mix of old and new speakers which means I can’t use the new Sonos App and have to use the S1 app which is fine, all works fine. All are connected to the same house WiFi. I have a Sonos Roam in my outside office (also connected to the same house WiFi) and want to be able to use an app to control it. It won’t pair with the new app for some reason and can’t be paired to the old S1. Every time I use it I have to go to settings on the phone and connect it to Bluetooth and use it that way which is a bit of a pain. Any ideas please? I use BTWholeHome which does have Guest network in it for visitors if that is of any use. TIA

I have been a long-time Sonos user, and this is by far one of the biggest blunders I have seen them make. The first being the whole S1 / S2 / old / new hardware guilt-trip and claiming that we all need to drop our old hardware and buy new. But I’m guessing enough peer pressure from those like me who sunk too much $$$ into our speakers have kept this older hardware continuing to run just fine, against all odds. Who could have guessed.But this app update… it has basically rendered all my music located on my network storage, unusable. Before you go “oh this was the whole SMBv1 issue blah blah…there’s a fix… blah blah”… yeah, no. I’m an experienced network engineer. My “NAS” has been running on a Windows 2019 server using SMBv2/v3 shares for years without problems. I’ve had SMBv1 disabled for years now.  The problem happened as soon as the app was released not long ago, and I mistakenly trusted Sonos, and updated it on my phone.What can I do right now?I can play all my music just fine by i

How do I get Trueplay to retune on my Beam gen 2 with Sub gen 3 using iPad latest iOS? I've tried restarting, resetting and reinstalling. I want a refund. This new app seems to be absolute garbage. It's so unintuitive and buggy and support is offline. 

I cannot play my iTunes music library on my Sonos - it has disappeared. 

Obviously you Sonos people don’t know how to “Beta” an app before you roll it out. At least 10 hours on the phone only to reset the Unit to work and only to fail the next time.  When is the fix gonna be ready, before summer is over???  so unsatisfied 

The Sonos S2 controller on my Mac lost access to my music library about a month ago.  From that point forward, I’ve been unable to play music fom the music library on Sonoma 14.5 without disabling my firewall.  My music is stored in the standard “Music” folder and it plays fine if the firewall is turned off.  The Sonos app is listed as “Allow incoming connections” in the firewall settings.  I’ve followed the straightforward advice in this Sonos page that I found, but no dice.https://support.sonos.com/en-us/article/configuring-macos-firewallI’ve downloaded the latest Sonos controller.  That doesn’t eliminate the problem.  I’ve been using Sonos for over 10 years without encountering this problem.I had an online chat with Sonos support several weeks ago.  They looked at a diagnostic they had me upload, and then instructed me to call Sonos support.  I did so, and they gave me the “turn your firewall off” solution after an hour on the phone.Can anyone advise how to overcome this problem? ….

With the new Sonos app it is almost impossible to get the system to stop playing a station in one room and start in another. I cannot get it to stop in the first room, it just keeps playing or linking the two rooms WHICH I DO NOT WANT.I keep getting the frustrating message “Something has gone wrong”, no more details, over and over again.COME ON SONOS DEVELOPERS, SURELY YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS!

Hello,this is once more the request to change the Home settings layout. Right now the order is Name Products Sound Home Theater Voice Hardware How often do you change the name or add/remove products? I guess almost never. How often do you change the sound settings? Me, quite often. Therefore I suggest the following order (moving the sound settings to the topSound Name Products Home Theater Voice Hardware  I assume that this will help a lot of people and improve the UX experience. 

How long will we have to live with the problem : "Sonos was unable to add the music folder (913)" ?????????

Many new and long-standing Sonos users have been disappointed by the recent Sonos “app overhaul” [released May 2024]. For many this update is a step backward from what they have come to expect from Sonos OR even makes their system unusable in any meaningful way. As Sonos users have been left without any real alternative (and no music), this poll asks Sonos to make the old app available again as a backup without delay.  Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

Hi - since the new app upgrade I am unable to add any songs to an existing playlist when I tap on ‘now playing ‘nothing happens now … beside search button isn’t there so both instructions from the user guide do not workplease advise what I need to do thanks lesley 

I have been able to add a Sonos Port on a recent firmware version using the new v80 App (iOS). However, a second Port that was on a much older firmware version can simply not be added. I have also been unable to add a Sonos One (also on older firmware) - in this case the speaker is partly added to the system but then the mandatory firmware update fails during the setup process. I have tried this on: (1) Different networks. (2) Wired and wireless. (3) On my existing and a new Sonos account.I tried to downgrade to S1 to attempt updates this way - but the downgrade option has not been developed for v80 App and is not listed on the roadmap (so I assume this will take some time).Has anybody been able to find other workarounds? Sonos customer support is uncontactable due to all the App issues resulting in customer service being overloaded but it also seems that customer service just blames the Wi-Fi network which cannot be the case for me as I tried this on two networks.

Every Sonos speaker in the house blocks Airplay streams and requests an AirPlay Password whenever Airplay Require Password is enabled on the Apple TV or in the Apple Home app.Once the password is enabled, Airplay works well with Apple devices but not with Sonos devices. No Sonos speaker is affected when the AirPlay password is disabled on Apple TV or the Home app. They continue to request the Airplay password.Resetting each Sonos speaker individually is the only thing that appears to solve the problem.Has anyone encountered this issue?(I've attempted to call Sonos, but the line keeps cutting out; case number 04688582; diagnostics 726588139)

Just updated to latest app and the search function doesn’t search my nas. I have found out that this is new search and I need to change to classic search. In my app the search box comes up just as a single line search and no options to switch to classic and no options in settings anywhere. I am on iPad. 

Can Sonos add Fan noise to its choices of sounds to play for sleeping?  You have a white noise, but I would like something deeper in sound, like fan noise. Or what some call, green noise. 

How do I turn lossless audio streaming off, specifically in the Apple Music service, but also in any other service that I might use. I seemingly do not have the bandwidth to stream it reliably, and I suspect that is because my internet connection is fixed wireless. Moreover, I can’t tell the difference anyway, so the larger data stream is simply not required.

I have been waiting for this feature for a long time, and now that it's finally here, it feels underwhelming. It only works about half of the time, other times I need to scrub the song to get it to start lossless, and sometimes the music just cuts off and playing the next song does nothing, it only plays silence. I have to choose a different album or playlist to get it to play music again.Has anyone else experienced this?

What set up do I need to qualify for lossless equipment wise. I have arc, play3 & sub gen2. I just wondered if there were any minimum or preferred requirements. Someone seemed to think that his wasn’t compatible as he only had a gen2 sub. I wasn’t aware that any subs were incompatible with anything. 

Since the macos App will apparently be retired, I’m trying to get used to the web app.I need to log in almost every time I visit https://play.sonos.com, which is an issue in and of itself, but the biggest problem is that every time I log in, it shows an Internal Server Error, and the URL points at a playlist. I’m not happy about losing a native app, but I’d hope the errors in the web app can be sorted out.

I just bought a Sub Gen 3 and want to connect with my existing Move as well as with my 3 Era 100 but I cannot add it to the group I created? How does that work?

Hi, all my Shows/Podcasts just show as no longer available in the new iOS app. I presume they came with TuneIn. My TuneIn stations are playing, but perhaps through Sonos stations (not sure how that all works). I tried reauthorizing TuneIn under Podcasts, but it just hangs. This is not necessarily a Talk Sonos product, so I will repost in the correct spot (now that I know).Well, I can’t move the post, and I can’t repost in just the regular Controller and Music Services area. So, I’ll leave here.Moderator edit: Combined posts, topic now in Controller and Music Services section.

I have a 9-unit Sonos system (Connects and ZP100s) running as S1.My control tablets are on 6.0.1, running the app v10.3 (build 51166240). Seem to remember it was the last version my tablets could run.If I update the system :What is the minimum Android version that latest S1 app need to work ? (ie will I need new tablet controllers ?)   What Samba (SMB) version does it use to hook up to network (NAS) filestores ? - My NAS has been forced to stay on SMB 1 (deprecated) to communicate with the app I’m running – yes, I’m aware of the security risk. Rather move to a secure SMB version. Yes, I’ve seen about the Raspberry Pi workaround, but that opens a whole new rabbit hole for me.

I've read in this forum that everyone appears to be having major problems with the current version of the app. Unfortunately, I have the same issues; lost playlists, lost access to radio stations (doesn't like Radioplayer, My Tuner etc) . I've tried contacting them but the Chatbot  just takes you round in circles. Is there an email address to try? Or anyway to downgrade the app?Thanks
