Controllers & Music Services

Just curious… Has there ever been any talk about creating a slider in the app for the center channel (Dialogue) for the Arc/Beam? I know there is a dialogue enhancement feature, but that doesn’t seem to help much. This feature request seems to be very possible since Sonos added a slider for height on the arc, which in my opinion is less important than the center. Many people have different levels of hearing and to most, dialogue is the most important. I’d love a feature to let users set the dialogue to a level that makes them happy and is accommodating to their level of hearing. Many other companies have this feature and I hope Sonos can bring it to their eco system. On a side note...For android users, I think it would be amazing to allow us to use a Roam for True Play. Seems like a great way to use a mic that is a part of the Sonos eco system.

Those who are archive.org fans….write them and ask them to find a coding team to create a Sonos service app to link and browse through the Sonos app.  I’d gladly pay $10 to have that service and catalog on Sonos.  Relisten is great but is only maybe 20 pct of the archive.org content.   This needs to happen, people will pay archive.org for the app, they are always trying to raise money.

Our local radio stations still appear in our favourites but they will not play. The only thing we have done is switch to Execulink from Rogers. Yesterday I spent two hours on the phone with Sonos support and was not able to find anything wrong with my Sonos. Is it possible for telecoms to restrict access and if so why? 

I found this   And I have followed the instruction on how to go about it..installed npm and 2FA then gone to terminal and sudo npm install -g sonos-web-cli then npm audit fix --force and searched the instruction on what to do next.. Seems I missed out a step.  but still, using the commands the commands in terminal even with sudo I cannot get an instal that does not fail Not sure what other info to supply at the moment so will leave it at that , until someone can let me know what they need to know to help me.Install log from npm included below    

Hi, question already seen on this community, is there news about Apple music lossless on Sonos S2 native app. After Qobuz and Amazon, Apple Music should be the next new entry.

Sonos has a new feature product roadmap for the S2 App.  It’s about resource allocation (soft/hardware engineers) budgets and, prioritization. Understand the game; don’t focus on the players…Complaining just generates endless, obligatory and vapid Corporate speak responses.Unless there are hundreds, thousands of voices voting on this poll, or through comments or “+1”’s, line item by line item in this thread, Sonos has no impetus to......allocate dev resources to a NEW priority (TruePlay for 2020/2021 Apple devices)I have an brand new Arc, Sub 3, and One SL ,pair ($2,053.00); iPad Air 4 (2021).I vote ‘YES”!

My three Pico audio remotes for Sonos just started behaving weird.  The Pico OFF button does not turn off Sonos.  The other buttons on the Pico audio remote work fine.  Any thoughts????

Can I use the Amazon music app on the Sonos beam without using Alexa? I know you can use the Sonos app but I prefer the Amazon app. I just want to cast to it like I can with the Spodify or Pandora app. Thanks 

Hi all , hope you're all well ! The S2 app notification  disappears occasionally from my phone , it can be there for an hour then it goes off and I have to go back on the app and it appears again , also in the app it said something like " can't connect let's fix this " speakers and beam were all ok I just forced stopped the app and all was good , just seems a bit buggy ? 

so has anyone been selected to be a beta tester? if so what did they send you and how long did you get to keep it for? i am an avid audiophile and  electronics guru. been building  and fixing computers and electronics since i was 12 work in IT administration professionally   and run my own side bu9iesnes total electronic solutions. i would be the perfect beta tester as i have beta tested for multiple platform 1 being Microsoft and their newest OS before it comes  out. thank you much and god bless!

After having installed the 13.4.1 update this problem occurs: a daily update of my music library at 11.50am removes the active queue in one of my rooms. Radio play in other rooms is not affected. The problem occurs repeatedly and can be reproduced. Diagnostic: 78616423. Please advice what to do. TIA.

I have my Sonos Beam connected to my Dish Hopper and TV via HDMI.Suddenly yesterday, after I played some music on the Sonos system via Airplay from my Mac (iTunes), my Dish remote stopped controlling the volume on the Dish_TV-Sonos setup. The other controls on the Dish remote, but the volume and mute controls do nothingHow can I restore control of volume  to my Dish  Hopper remote? TIA Caroline

I can’t find all Finnish radio stations in Sonos. For example the traditional Jouluradio is missing. What is the reason?

I have purchased a 4K laser projector (Optoma UHZ65LV) and also an Apple TV 4K.  In common with other people on these forums I want to create a Dolby Atmos surround sound set up using Sonos kit.  I currently have purchased the SUB and two One SLs…..    so I will need to fill this in with an Arc and another two One SLs I assume. On to the questionNow from reading the forums I understand that when using Apple Airplay 2 to connect to Sonos you lose all the Dolby Atmos information.  You just get stereo.  So can someone explain - given that constraint - how do I achieve my desired setup ?   Bearing in mind that in a large room you have the projector at one end.  Connected to the Apple TV via HDMI.   And then at the other end of the room you have the screen and this is (obviously) where the Arc will be installed.  So a wired solution would be quite a stretch …I am technically competent, but I am a complete newbie to cinema / surround sound / etc.  So go easy on me :-).  Appreciate any help 

My Google-fu is failing me here, I can’t find where to subscribe to Sonos Radio anywhere in my profile, is the subscription product available in Australia? 

I heard from a friend of mine that technically, S2 is possible on S1 hardware - and all it takes is for Sonos to enable it on your system (which seemingly they can do remotely, presumably though your log on account).I’m told that if you have a big enough setup (ie. you’ve spent enough money with them) and make enough of a fuss, they’ll enable S2 for you. I have no idea if there are limitations once done, but S2 isn’t wildly different from S1 anyway, so probably not.Anyone know any more about this?

Hello all, I would like to add a xmas radio, but it doesnt work :(Would somebody be so kind and check if link: https://stream.funradio.sk/xmas128.mp3 works after adding to the sonos radio?Thank you very much

Hi,For many years now (since 2011?) I have been using Sonos Connect:AMP to play music in my study, on or via an iMac, with separate loudspeakers.The Connect:AMP is wired directly to a router (wired to the main modem/access point) in another room; the other Connect:AMP ethernet port is used to wire to the computer.I have always had problems with unstable wifi in this room, so after many experiments with extra routers I went for cabled only, also to make the most of the fast internet connection.This cabled set-up has worked perfectly for many years, but over the past two months or so (can’t remember exactly) I get Sonos dropouts constantly when loading/scrolling (heavier) webpages.I have had the same 2019 40Gb iMac with SSD drive for almost a year and made no recent changes in the system.I have reset the whole chain a few times but the problem persists. It occurs with all music, whether I use Sonos radio or Spotify or play music from my own library.I have not encountered anything similar

Unable to complete true play with my device, telling me it’s not supported

I just got an iPhone 13 and TruePlay is not supported.I also bought an iPad Air 4 and nearly a year later, the feature hasn’t been added yet. But Sonos sure is happy to tell me to buy all its new products instead.How long until this feature is added? Anyone taking bets? How many dollar bills do I have to cram into the HDMI port?

Is there an equivalent to Sonosequencr for Android?  I had it on my old work iPhone, but no longer work there and my personal device is an Android.  My wife has an ancient work iPhone so I can at least still use Trueplay, but she doesn’t want to install paid for apps.  Is there an Android equivalent that’ll allow me to stereo (or surround) pair dissimilar speakers?  Currently I’ve got my Playbar, Play:1 and Symfonysk set up as my surround system I think, but I can’t remember, and I may want to tweak that at some point in the future.   EDIT:  wasn’t clear enough I don’t think - it’s to allow me to stereo pair (a Symfonysk and Play:1 in my case) or configure dissimilar speakers as surround (so adding these 2 as rear surrounds to my Playbar) - not just simply playing across multiple different speakers. 

My 2,300-CD music collection is on a network-attached storage (NAS) drive labeled E:\Music Library.  It is a 1-Terabyte external Hard Drive (HD) dedicated solely to music files.  I designated that Path in the Sonos Music Library Settings. By and large, I can play what I want to hear and create Playlists.  But: Q1: on the NAS HD, Windows Explorer shows “Van Morrison” for the file folder with that artist’s CDs.  But, when I see that artist’s listings in Sonos, it shows “van morrison” rather than Van Morrison.  What the?  Where can I edit the Sonos file directory to fix this silly discrepancy?  Q2:  using Windows Explorer, I moved the CD “Easy Pieces” FROM the “Lloyd Cole” directory TO the “Lloyd Cole & The Commotions” directory.  However, Sonos insists on still showing that CD as a Lloyd Cole release.  What the?  I DID do “Update Music Library Now” in Sonos with no resulting impact.  Do I need to change a Sharing Setting for my File Management fixes to be seen by Sonos?  Is there a “

Hi - on my Sonos page on the app currently my music service is Spotify. I’m changing to Apple is there a way to change the default? I can’t seem to find an option within the App. Probably missing something basic!  thanks 

I have had no problem with Sonos until I updated my mac to Big Sur. I like to play the music continuously and adjust it at the speakers----lower, higher, no sound. Now Sonos drops for no reason, then I have to go to my computer and restart.   I usually play Pandora.  Any help out there? 

This problem seems to have started after my Windows 11 intstallation. When the controller is opened on my pc at first everything is displayed as normal but once my mouse cursor starts moving over different tabs (like Select a Music Source/Sonos Favorites or Select a Music Source/Sonos Radio or the FILE, EDIT, MANAGE, HELP tabs...acually everything displayed on the Sonos Controller!) they disappear. They then reappear when my cursor moves over them but then after a bit completely disappear and I have to restart the program. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and also ran as Administrator to no avail. Any help on remedying this annoying problem?
