Not sure what is going on? Added another Sonos SL speaker to my system yesterday.  System1 SL Speaker2 Sonos one - first generation 5 Sonos one - second generation Sonos BeamSonos Booster All went well and setup was completed.  Played music the rest of the day.   This morning couldn’t get anything to  connect by means of the Sonos App.  I use Amazon music. Usual routineI select the music I like to play on Amazon music, usually on my iPad.Go to Airplay and select one speaker to play the musicThen go to the Sonos App and select where I want the music played on my system This morning I could get ALL the speakers to connect to Airplay but could not get any other speaker to connect within the Sonos App.' Re-bottled my router.  No difference.  Checked that all speakers where on the Sonos system (0).  No issues. Re-booted my iPad. No change I then went to Apple settings on my iPad.  Selected the Sonos App. Turned off background App Refresh and turn it back on again.    Went back into Amazon m

When I’m drilled down into a music source, for example a song from the Music library, I’d like a way to quickly return to the Select a Music Source page. Is there one?

Hi guys! Sonos 2 version 14.0 is out. Changelog claims “bug fixes”. Is there a list somewhere what bugs that has been fixed? Would be nice to get some more details here before updating.

I'm considering music services and Qobuz popped up. I primarily listen to 60s to 90s pop, with a bit of alternative tossed in. Questions: 1. How extensive is the pop and alternative selections?2. How compatible is the Quboz app with Sonos systems?3. Can Quboz music be downloaded to a phone for offline listening in a car?4. Is the Qobuz app or the Sonos app used to control music on the Sonos speakers?5. Are voice commands available with Quboz and Sonos?6. Overall, what's your opinion of the service?

When using the app on iPhone & iPad I’m having real trouble when scrolling - up or down, left or right - where the window keeps skipping back to where it started. Very frustrating especially when searching. Common problem with an easy fix or is it something more sinister?

Looking for a way to play podcasts from Acast through Sonos

Just an opinion but I find it odd that Sonos does not use its full number updates for major capabilities and enhancements. Not a complaint just weird to me. Hoping for abig update such as its own voice control but maybe soon. 

Hi there,I have recently discovered Amazon Music Unlimited’s Atmos music offerings (as well as its Ultra HD). In my living room, I have a Beam Gen 2 + Connect Amp (S2) connected to some ceiling speakers acting as surrounds. If I play Atmos content to just this setup via Amazon Music on the Sonos App, “Atmos” is clearly displayed in the app showing that the content is, indeed, playing in Atmos. However, if I “group” our kitchen speakers (Play 1s) with the ones in the living room, the display changes to HD. Now I know that Play 1s max out at HD quality, but does this mean that the entire stream has downgraded to HD as a result of grouping? Or will the Living Room speakers continue to play in Atmos quality (despite what the display says)?I guess part of this answer depends on how the speakers and stream interfaces, and it’s beyond my understanding. I suspect the whole stream does indeed get downgraded to HD, which is a shame for those of us with open plan configurations, but would be grea

I've had to reset my mobile and as a result the section on "this mobile section" in browse has duplicate Albums with some of them empty. Is there a way of resetting these listings? 

Hey folks, ex-Sonos engineer here! I love what you've been doing to improve the UX after changing the router password or the router itself. Great work! I don't need to carry an Ethernet cable when I travel with Sonos anymore.My feedback: I have many Soni, and usually travel with one or two. When I get to my destination, I go to Manage Networks. In the "Select a product to change its network settings." screen, it took me quite a while to figure out why it was asking about my Beam (see pic) which was at home, rather than either device I had with me. I was super-frustrated for an embarrassing amount of time, until I realized it was a carousel of all my devices, and I could swipe to the one I wanted.The thin grey line with an black indicator at the bottom isn't enough of an affordance. Please make it more obvious that there's stuff to the right!Thanks,​​​Seth 

Is there any way to have different levels of surround volume when streaming Atmos and normal stereo tracks?  At present I listen to music with my rear speakers set to ‘full’ and the surround volume set at +5, however, when I’m playing atmos mixes the music becomes unbalanced as I’ve gone from essentially 2 stereo speakers turned up a bit to the surround channels overpowering a different mix.  if there isn’t a workaround then what’s the possibility of a separate option to be added so that atmos music surrounds can default to a different volume than stereo ‘full’ surrounds? I know it’s a minor thing but it’s quite annoying to have a mixed list and have to alter levels for individual tracks manually, especially as there’s no good way to not play atmos versions when there are any. 

If Sonos produced a screen type interface that was dedicated to “what is playing” on my player. it would also be a master control. hang it on the wall like a control panel.  I like browsing album artwork and being able to see track names at a glance.  peace.   

Hi everyone,I’ve seen that in the iOS app you can access directly to the equalizer from the now playing screen.In Android app we don’t have this option, could you add this shorcut? I think is very useful and reduce a lot the time to modify equalizer settings.Thanks!

When watching TV, the single most useful button on any remote is the mute button.The Android app has mostly handy functionally in the icon tray for quick access: play/pause, skip, back, adjust volume (which takes you to quick access to be able to do so, or to mute).  But it would be great to just mute right there in the icon tray Especially so because there is space available for it... presently there are options to do two things that seem random to me:  turn speech enhancement on/off and turn night sounds on/off.  It seems to me you'd want the icon tray buttons to allow you to quickly do what you do most often, and I can't think of why either of those things meet that criteria, whereas mute absolutely does.My vote is to replace one of those buttons with mute... Long live mute! Long live mute!

Hi, having sonos app running in win 10 would be possible adjust volume level of the sonos app from windows volume settings in the task bar?In the same way as we are able on android phone to adjust volume with phone physical buttons. In this way i could be able to adjust line in volume on play 5 using a remote controller connected to my minipcthanksregardsRenato 

@Chicks, thank you for the port of your touchscreen controller to a view only HDMI code.  I’ve got your code installed on my Pi Zero W, auto login to shell, the Sonos.py script auto-running and edited to my named speaker group, and it connected to the HDMI on the big-screen.  Unfortunately, the Pi isn’t showing the artwork/music on screen, just the bash prompt after the linux boot menu.Can you direct me to what I am missing from the auto-run or the python or the output variable for the screen? Is there one more utility to be the front end?  Maybe my systmctrl of the Sonos app isn’t running?I needed to chmod your utility to executable, so that should be OK now…. Thoughts?

Is it possible to add  2 ( gen. 3 ) subs with a pair of play 5 using S2 software (same room) Thanks.

Hi, Can you send me the tracklist for your pindrop radio station for the 20/21 & 22 January please? 

So when I made a playlist on YouTube music I got all the other playlists and put it in one big one which I’d 1,500 songs for some reason on the YouTube music app it shows 1,500 but when I play it on Sonos it only shows 999 am I doing something wrong? 

It seems that i have wifi and internet in order to play music on my sonosIs it so?

I recently transfer my playlist from Spotify to apple music but it isn't working properly. should i use MUSCONV tool? anybody uses this before.

Some have been asking for another hardware based dedicated Sonos Controller; although Sonos appears not inclined to re-introduce such a device. As it would happen I was watching a YouTube video by Peter Pee wherein he reviewed two products by IKEA. They are the: TRADFRI Hub which is a wireless hub that connects to your home Wi-Fi and acts much in the same manner as a Philips Hue Bridge for smart lights SYMFONISK Music Controller that pairs with the TRADFRI Hub and works with Sonos for play/pause/forward/back/volume control for Sonos speaker(s).The two devices are sold separately or as a bundle. The bundled cost is $51.98 USD. Selling the TRADFRI Hub separately makes sense as it can be paired with other IKEA controllers with different use.There is an app for iOS or Android devices used for setup of the TRADFRI Hub and pairing of the SYMFONISK Controller. All setup components come with the TRADFRI Hub which includes Ethernet cable, USB-A to USB micro cable for power transmission and a 2

Hi all. What will the audio resolution be with my current setup via S2 app using ‘uncompressed’. Turntable hooked to Sonos Connect > Pair of Play 1’s > Playbar. Thanks in advance. 

A few have added bbc sounds, it is not showing as an option for me. I wonder if that is because I am in Australia?

I find the slider(s) very cumbersome to use.  A landscape mode would probably help.It’s really difficult to turn volume up/down just a little with the slider.Maybe add an alternate method, something like a number  with up/down controls, so could change volume in small increments.  Either an addition to current UI or maybe an option to use slider or other mechanism.  It would also be helpful to see the current volume level, so I can set it accordingly depending on what I’m listening to.
