Controllers & Music Services

I'm considering buying a dirt cheap iphone if I can get it to work with Trueplay.  I'm considering it, not completely sold on the idea.  My Sonos Roam and Move can provide Trueplay without the need of a phone... Weird that speakers such as the Arc cannot.Anyway, does anyone know what is the oldest version iPhone I can use?  Thanks in advance. 

Just wanted to let you Sonos know that I used to be a great ambassador for your products - I have five.  Since the forced upgrade where half my products no longer work, or if they do I have to use different controllers for each, I’m embarrassed to admit I was ever a fan.  Your business is a disgrace.

I am trying to play songs on my phone to my Sonos and the Sonos app on my iPhone does not see the Sonos speaker phone connected via ethernet, however it works over Wi-Fi. All my other devices connect just fine via ethernet. However for some reason Sonos has blocked ethernet functionality via the S2 app. I do not want to use the soeaker as a bridge. I have a fast ethernet connection and I don’t want it to be on Wi-Fi.Please update your app to use ethernet as a priority instead of wifi.

The app’s UX is soooo flipping badly designed that deleting a room is so unintuitive that an inter-planetary search needs to be done to find out how to do this simple task.Then all the self righteous fanboys (schmucks) jump in defending why it should be so crap and that we should all appreciate it’s un-intuitivity - Well 418,000 search results don’t agree with you.So after the question was posted back in 2018 and still remains - How the flipping hell do you delete a room. AND why has it taken over 3 years to still be so sh1t?

Hello, just after opinions on Amazon Music Prime?.I'm looking at getting the Amazon Prime account with Music Prime.How well does that work with Sonos and can you select individual songs or is it just playlists?.I'm aware they do Music Ultimate but I'm only interested in how the Prime works with Sonos.Any comments appreciated!.Cheers, Keith.

I’d like to request the ability in the app to turn off the surrounds completely when listening to music. Currently the lowest you go can is Ambient/zero, which still allows some sound to be audible from the surrounds. I’m sure there are users out there who would enjoy the reverse as well, where you can keep the surrounds on for music, but mute completely for TV/Movies. My setup includes an Amp, 2nd gen sub, and Ikea Symfonisks for the rears.

I would like the sub level to be discrete for music/tv - as per the surrounds when grouped with an Arc. Being able to adjust the surrounds (in my case 2x play5 g2) is great, but the sub is stuck at a single level - I have to set to -4 at least on most good films/shows but then move back to 0 for music

It’s a good app but running on macos it starts out at 100mbs which is fine but keeps growing until it’s using 1GB of memory. (on the latest sonos desktop app and version of MacOs).  Needs fixing

I have always been using the Sonos App, with the Deezer music service connected. This works, but the functionality available is never as good as the Deezer app itself. The Deezer app couldn’t play on the Sonos speakers though, so I never used it.I just discovered that Deezer has (finally) allowed us to connect to Sonos from the Deezer App. Select the “Audio Output” with Airplay. I now see my more recent Beam and from there can group some of my older speakers. This is great, as I now can use all of the functionality in the Deezer App, not the limited set from the Sonos App/Deezer plugin.The big surprise though is this sounds better. I’m not sure if I’m imagining it or not, but there seems to be a marked improvement in sound. The songs I’m playing now are all marked “HQ”, but AFAIK I was streaming high quality audio using the previous Sonos App with Deezer configuration.Is it possible I really am getting better sound with this configuration?

So it’s been months since S2. Before the update, S1 was already able to play back flac 24/48. The promise was of more HiRes audio to come. I sold my gen1 connect in anticipation, bought a Port. And waited. I can still play the only same files as before, I’m a couple hundred pounds down, and feeling a little duped to be honest. Just curious whether there are others feeling the same....

Please, please SONOS let us be able to save a couple of sound profiles in the APP!I switch between Music, TV and Movies with my Beam and x2 Ones, and one EQ/SOund setting for all doesn’t work.Movies over Netflix are extremely Bass heavy and surrounds overpower the BEAM.Music is perfect& TV needs more Treble.  Please allow me to save my desired Sound settings under 1 button in the APP, so I don’t have to faff about depending on what I am listening too. Thank You.P.S Can you release this update asap :-) 

I’ve been using Sonos and controlling it from my phone for over 1 year.  last week I receive a “netwrok problem detected” error when “I sign in to use new features” on the bar at the top of the app or when I check for updates in system updates.  I run an iPhone XR with iOS 13.2.  The Sonos is up to date.  The Sonos app runs correctly from other iPhones in my house.

I have a large library of original CD files ripped onto my hard drive and in Apple Music (formerly iTunes) The files are all in lossless format. I have (4) Gen One Connect Amps.  What is the best and highest fidelity way for me to connect the Mac and Sonos?

I have just replaced a Seagate NAS which worked well for 6 years. I used it to create a music library for sonos and also backed up a few photos.  I replaced it with. WD My Cloud and have mixed feelings about this. I am having to use the app to play the music and cannot seem to find which address to use to find the music library. The app categorises the music poorly and does  not even display the alphabet down the right to enable you to find artists , tracks or albums. I have used iTunes to download almost all of the music. I am also having trouble with the format of the file due to this. I saved all my uploaded music on an expansion drive. When I am putting this on the mycloud it will not play any that hare WMA files but only MP3 . It will not seem to play WAV files which is often the case for download codes.  Wishing for my seagate back, although I hope I can resolve these things. I can upload the CDs to make sure they are on MP3, but these all worked fine before.Any ideas.

Hi I have an q70t Samsung plugged into a playbar via optical. Tv remote controls volume when tv is switched on but doesn't work when tv is off (and music is playing) Please help?        

I would very much like to see an enhancement added to the controller app, especially for the desktop.There are at least two functions I would like to see the elimination of the pop up confirmation: Update Music Library Now, and, Clear Queue. There could be others but they don’t spring to mind at the moment.My suggestion is to add a setting that would be referenced when the two functions mentioned above are used. I would describe it as an expert setting. When set to expert mode, those annoying pop up confirmations would not be presented. The end result would be a 1 button click experience where either the music library would be re-indexed or the list of items in the queue would be cleared.My thought would be to add another high level item in the Settings list after Additional Usage Data. Call it Expert Settings. When selected, the right side would present controls like those of EQ: a label “Expert Setting for:” then a drop down with a list containing “Library Update” and “Now Playing Qu

I can’t figure out the simple task of waking up to my whole home sonos audio system.  It seems like if anyone watches TV or any device ungroups, which obviously both happen daily in normal use, I can’t get an alarm from all speakers.  Also, I obviously need to set different speakers to different volumes for an alarm.  Simple stuff, what am I not seeing?

I just wanted to give SONOS some props for the continual evolution of its HD Radio service. From adding monthly (sometimes twice a month) updates with themed stations, new stations, special event stations, curated stations and even just tweaking and adding stations that fill gaps between different stations, I am getting more and more out of your offering every month. So thank you, keep up the great work and I look forward to what’s next each month and what more you can do with the service. Now you just need to offer a reduced annual rate instead of just monthly and the ability to listen to it via Bluetooth on our Move and Roam speakers. Thank you!

Can we please get some View options? This player is anything but a “mini player.” I don’t need or want to see all those options, or all that blank area there. It is super frustrating that I can’t make that window smaller. I would like it to minimise into something that showed only What’s Playing, Play/Pause/ FF, & RW. Anyone else? Thanks!

Sonos has stopped working with my Synology NAS because NTLMv2 is not supported. Can pressure be put on Sonos?

I have searched for this in various ways and haven’t found a solution. When I am on Sonos app on iPhone, I am trying to control individual volume of a room when grouped. I touch the volume slider for the group and the individual rooms will reveal themselves above the group slider. Before I can slide volume of an individual room, the sliders collapse back to the group volume slider. They pop up, I try to quickly select the slider for a room but over half the time it collapses again before I can make a change. I have tried on different iPhones and an iPad with same problem. The desktop on my iMac works fine but sometimes I need to adjust individual room from iPhone app.I have restarted app multiple times, deleted app and reloaded, restarted Sonos system, and so far nothing fixes the problem. Please help.

Since I only found posts about this topic from a year ago or older, I wanted to check if there has been any progress for volume normalization when using a third party app (in my case Spotify). The setting for it in the Spotify app is only applied on the device youre changing it on. Because those settings are not accessible in the Sonos app, there is no way to set it for my brand new Sonos setup (neither through Spotify nor Sonos). The result is that the volume of the music varies frequently; often just slightly, but regularly its very noticeable. It happens often enough to degrade the user experience considerably.

My poor dog is freaked out every 4th of July by fireworks going boom around us.  I understand that it is just not just my dog.  I would like to come up with a program that Sonos could play that every once in while it would randomly go BANG!  That way our animals will get used to the fireworks and not be bothered.  Does anyone know how we can make this happen?   Thanks.
