Controllers & Music Services

Since I switched to Windows 11 I can't add folders to my music Library settins. I'm trying to add a music folder that's on my internal hardrive and I keep getting the message "Sonos was unable to add the music folder, Reason: The computer "DELLPC" refused to let Sonos connect to it.

I accidentally hijacked a Sonos Move in the home of a relative, who lives in another city. I played music on her Move when I visited and was connected to her WiFi. Now when I got home and tried to play Spotify music on my own Move, the music comes from her speaker. This is spooky. I renamed my own Move and now I can choose which Move, in which city, to play music on. We are all on S2. Is this a bug or a feature? Is this a Sonos or Spotify problem?

I still don’t understand why the standard Deezer feature rich experience is not available inside the Sonos application. Sonos just does not want to make any improvements here and it would significantly improve my user experience. I was thinking of getting a 2nd Roam but if I want both stereo and missing options in Deezer’s native environment, I can’t do it because Roam wont support bluetooth sterio pairing and the Sonos environment won’t support the full Deezer experience. Disappointing.  

Before Christmas I had telephone discussions about why having the above S2 and Mac OS combination  the former says it finds Sonos on my network but on clicking ‘lets connect’ eventually says Not Connected - Your Sonos Product was not found. I was told a solution is being worked on.Can anyone tell me when this issue is expected to be sorted (by Sonos or Apple)?Given my investment in Sonos and Apple products this is frustrating and I had expected a fix by now.Fortunately, my Sonos system remains usable via my mobile AppHelp!

Buen día comunidad Sonos , el sistema Sonos Beam 2 Gen  cuando esta sin uso siempre queda con los led encendidos o  hay algún método para apagarlos , o el sistema necesita estar siempre en espera? Gracias 

I have a SONOS Move and there are two people in the house who use it.  We have individual Spotify accounts, and I want us to be able to log in separately.  Last week I was listening to spotify on my earbuds and she tried to listen on the SONOS and my playlist kept taking over the SONOS unit.  How can I avoid this? 

Podcasts fromIphone App not showing up on Sonos controler How can I listen my podcast app (Iphone) on my sonos system

(tv#1) I’m running a Sonos arc sound bar on a Samsung tv using the sonos2 app, All is working great. (tv#2) I’m running a Yamaha YAS-209 sound bar on a Samsung tv using the Yamaha app, all working great.Can I pair the Yamaha sound bar to the Sonos app so I can control everything in 1 app ? 

Have recently changed wifi routers. Followed the reinstall recs and seemed to have navigated that successfully…. except: When streaming from my Apple Music account (only), I seem to get sporadic skipping and ultimately an error message concerning the strength of my wifi. I do not have issues with Sirius, Sonos radio or streaming via a Bluetooth connection to my equipment. Thoughts? 

I am trying to stream Audible and Sonos won’t get past ~4:16 when I’ll get the error message ‘Unable to play ‘Audible’ access denied’. I will then restart Audible, it will play another 4:16 second and repeat the error, over and over.I called the Sonos 1-800 # and they said I was getting interference. I turned off my error network and this fixed the problem for about 24 hours. Now the issue is back.My other streaming services (Tidal, XM Radio) work fine and I’ve never had this issue. I’ve tried with a Sonos Roam in a different room and get the same problem. I’ve tried streaming Audible on my phone (not on Sonos) and I get past 4:16 easily, no problems. So, the issue has to be with Sonos. I’ve tried deleting the Audible access in the Sonos app and that didn’t solve anything.I’ve been using Sonos for 10+ years now and have never had a problem like this and am very frustrated.I’m using this with Alexa but the same problem happens when I use the S2 remote app.  

I have disabled Dolby Atmos in Amazon Music Unlimited but it still plays Dolby Atmos when using the Sonos app.I am not sure if this is an issue with the Sonos app not honoring the Amazon settings or if the integration with Sonos is with the Amazon development team.Either way, I would like to suggest that Sonos or Amazon exclude Dolby Atmos when it is not enabled in the Amazon music settings.Thanks,Wazza

Any reason I can’t shuffle ‘all songs’ on iTunes via Sonos iOS app? Seems like basic functionality  UPDATE this functionality on Sonos exists with Sonos iTunes integration and works with playlists, just not ‘all songs’ like it does on iTunes app

EDIT: Was able to fix myself. Hi everyone. I just set up two of my Sonos One speakers. I am able to play a lot of my music using my device (Samsung Note 10, Samsung music App). It seems to be able to detect a lot of my playlists. However I added some new music, and the Sonos app cannot detect the playlist. I also took a closer look and there are a few other playlists it cannot detect. A few times now I have  done the “Update Music Index Now” feature and it seems to do nothing. If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate the help, Thank you

Hi. When a guest was visiting our home, they logged me out of my sonos account on my sonos system, so they could log into their account and play their music. They didn’t log out and now I can’t get into my “account” on the system. How do I log them out and get back to my account?

Yesterday (Nov 2), Sonos updated the S1 Controller app for iOS and iPadOS to version 11.6.1.  These installed and work fine.At the same time my Mac, which is running S1 Controller for Mac version 11.5, indicated that there was an update available. When trying to run this update (which is named Sonos_57.13-34140.dmg and not 11.6 something), it crashed and failed.Has anyone else had this problem?

I see that Audible is not available for Sonos in Italy. Why is that, is there any plan to overcome the issue?I am a strong Audible user and is frustrating don't use it on my Sonos environment.Thanks! 

Ho collegato il mio apparecchio al Bluetooth..non riesco però a vedere nulla nel mio Sonos 

Sorry to be a pain…. I just can’t get my Sonos Library to add or play wav files. They are 16bit. Ripped at same source frequency as cd on Windows 11. Straight forward “Cyberlink Power 2 Go” Ripper.I use vlc as player on lap top & they are fine.Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

It seems to be possible to play to (my) Sonos Setup without beeing physically accessing my WiFi nor being near to my home. So to make clear: I´m sure about that nobody externally is stearing Sonos via SONOS App.What I found out is that If you ever been connected to someones Sonos Speakers with Spotify (e.g. in a friends house and with the permission accessing the Wifi) you are able to play music on this Sonos from any point the world / internet. Is that correct? How could I limit this access to sonos. Or is there a way how to make visible who is playing music actually?

I’m using a Sonos One SL stereo pair with my Apple TV and it works great… until I change to an Apple TV game. Then all of the audio disappears.Does anyone know if it’s possible to use Airplay 2 for Apple TV game audio?

How can I de-link the volume on my sonos speakers from my Regular wired speakers  which I use via Sonos Port?Tks in advance for your help

After resetting my phone (OnePlus) to factory settings, my playlists in the Sonos app are gone.I would think that any settings in the Sonos app would be unaffected by any device changes.Is there a way to restore my playlists?
