Controllers & Music Services

Hello sonos! At this moment we use a wake up light where the light fades in really slowly. We would like to have the same option with or songs set-up. So an option for the alarm function in the app where we can set an amount of time for the music to reach a certain volume! Please make this 🙂

On my Samsung S9 I have the option to add a widget to my home screen for easier access which is great....when it actually works. I mainly used it for quick access to night mode and speech enhancment but for some reason this has intermittantly stopped working, sometimes when you go to switch NM or SE on or off they just dont work and you have to go into the app to do it. Once you have been in to the app though the buttons on the widget work again. It seems that if you force close the app this is what stops the widget from working. Is there anyway to officially report this as I find it pretty convenient having those options on the widget, just need the EQ options and level adjustments (surr+sub) on there as well and that would be perfect.

I can no longer access my SONOS controller on my laptop (where I manage all the music) because it is asking me to register my speakers (don't know why all of a sudden) but it is not under my email address - somehow it has become my husbands email address. I have no option to change it back to me. I cannot get access to to my controller now on my laptop. My husband was trying to add a Playbar and updated his controller on his iPhone when this happened. How do I get Sonos to work again and ensure I am the email address it is registered to. Am desperate as I have party on weekend and use my lap top to manage all my music, make play lists and own music for performances then I update onto to SONOS. My husband is away and clueless. I need help urgently.

Will there ever be an option to play everything made by one artist, instead just the option to play just one album?

Have you ever pressed the play button and Sonos thinks and then nothing happens? No music - nothing. It just goes back to show the "play" arrow. It's like groundhog day. I do it all over again and get the same result. This is odd - it was working just fine yesterday :S

I love the sonos connect so much that I got one at home, at work, for my brother, for my father and for my father in law. My only complaint is that my controller is locked to one system at a time. When I move between different houses I should be able to pair the controller on my phone with their systems and have it remember me when I come back - without resetting. I've seen the tip about bringing them all to one place and setting them up together. But that's not always possible or desirable. There is no real security concern because I still have to be allowed on their network and I'd still have to push the buttons on the device. Seems like a relatively simple software problem to allow me to pair with multiple systems and remember all the systems I've paired with.

Is there a way to switch from tile view to a list view after I search and access any particular artist? In tile view almost all album names are truncated. Also, it would be nice (actually more than nice... it should be And a way to quickly distinguish between albums and singles should be included. For an app this old, I wonder why these basic features are not already present. Or, if they are, where did you hide them, Sonos???

I seem to be one of the few people who are enjoying the new UI in 8.0. By changing the name of Sonos Favourites to My Sonos however, it's made me more aware that it is not really "mine", as I have two kids using Sonos who constantly add their own playlists and favourite albums into the list. This means my nicely curated favourites get lost amongst all the noise. Is there anyway of having multiple Sonos accounts attached to the system (we all want access to all speakers), separating out My Sonos accordingly? I guess in a similar fashion as we do with different Spotify accounts. Thanks.

Hi, I know energy is not a big topic in the US, because energy is cheap and wasted everywhere, but it is in Germany and other parts of the world. Avg spend for energy for two people in an appartment in Germany is usually anything bewteen 50 and 100 Eur/Month (energy prices are 0.25-0,30cents (EUR) per kw/h. I my setup (Playbar, 3x Play1, 2x Play3 and one Bridge) is roughly around 40kw/h on stand-by. So im spending around 90 EUR per year just for sonos stand-by. When I see that Amazon Echo dots uses 1.5W and play1 4W it feels like it could be less. Echo Dot is also always on, its always connected to wifi and keeps listening and waiting 24H/day. Some people might say "ok....Sonos is supposed to be like that..live with it..it has to be on and available all the time". I know many people using Sonos, most of them unplug them or use switches at the power plug. Why? Because all rooms are not always needed. I use one e.g. in sleeping room (because my GF lives abroad) and another one i

Will sonos support the new Samsung watch

I have a pretty open concept condo. On occasion it would be beneficial to be able to play my Sonos feed through my AirPods. For say watching TV and not disturbing others. Anyone else?

Please display volume settings as a percent or whole number

For some reason I have 2 rooms showing in the Room Settings. How do I delete one within the app? When we have to reconnect our :one units because they get disconnected in the app, it's creating a new room.

how do i delete a room

Hey! The Sonos controller won't allow me to pass an update screen but when I try to run the update it says "An exception occured during a WebClient request." I reset the controller but it didn't help and can't find another avenue through which to download the Sonos controller installer. What should I do?

My app (and Windows controller) is stuck in an endless "Check for update/No update needed" loop. I'm not enrolled in Beta. I've tried restarting my iPhone. I've tried deleting the app and uninstalling it. I've tried controlling through my PC (same issue). Help.

It would be great if you could store "scenes", i.e. predefined groups and associated volume levels. They should be as easily accessible as the 'Sonos favorites'. An example would be "party" which could group all units in the house and sets the volume at the right levels between the units. Or "watching movie" which only turns on the playbar and associated Play:3 or Play:5's in the tv room, a the right volume level and turns off all other sonos units in the house. Or "OFF" which degroups all units and puts them all on mute.

'leaving' used to be my method of exiting the sonos controller app. With version 4.0 there is no obvious way to turn off the controller...can someone help?

Every time you set an alarm the controller behaves at random. Sometimes works but more often it gives not me the chance to snooze or to stop it. By the way why not programming a touch button on the device for this purpose? Nice to act when you're still sleepy in the bed.

Thumbs up/down for a song doesn't give the orange thumb to indicate that it's been thumbed before.

Created a Spotify playlist, how do I access it when inside Sonos?

Hi there, I just bought the Beam and was trying to put the Spotify volume up, using the volume up/down buttons on my late 2013 Macbook pro. I am using the newest version of Mac OS Mojave. Sound is good, but this missing feature is a drawback. It als sucks that you have to use an additional Software like SoTubes or hardware like Chromecast to listen to youtube music... Is there a software to make the volume buttons work? Thank you! Matthias

I installed Mojave yesterday and since then, the media keys on my Apple keyboard no longer control Sonos. They open iTunes. Previously, if iTunes was open, these keys would always default to operating iTunes, but all I needed to do was close iTunes, and if the Sonos app was open, these keys would control Sonos instead. Now with Mojave, they only control iTunes. Has anyone else run into this? Anyone have any workarounds or ideas? I've searched both Sonos and Apple forums but can't figure out a solution.

There used to be a setting in the app that let you control the volume level of paired speakers separately. I can no longer find it.

Is there a button that controls whether Explicit songs are played or not? When it is off and you're listening to an album or playlist, the explicit songs are skipped. That way you can still listen to your favorite album or playlist when more impressionable members of the family (kids / parents) are around.
