I set an alarm up for my sonos play 3 in my room. Which has worked fine a couple of times letting me pause it but today every time i hit pause it just restarts the playlist I chose as the alarm music.

Now I cant use that speaker amd have just turned the volume right down.

      Hello everyone,

      We are aware of the issue and actively looking into it. At this time, we'd like to ask you to remove your Sonos alarms. This will stop the alarms turning on over and over again.

      We've created a new thread for this issue here: Sonos alarms not stopping. We'll update everyone on that thread once resolved.

      Another one here with the problem. I thought it was one of my neighbours being annoying as the sound was muffled coming from upstairs, then I realised what it was!

      Fix it please Sonos!

      I'm having the same problem as of today! Alarm went off this morning as usual but the music just keeps restarting! I have deleted all the alarms and the music has now stopped playing.

      It stops if you delete the alarms - not just turn them off. Nasty bug. Hope we get an update soon from Sonos.

      Don't set the time to a week ago but rather a week ahead. What if Sonos can't get this bug fixed within 7 days?

      BBC Radio 2 via TuneIn came on with Sonos alarm at 9am this morning then shuts off after a few seconds and volume drops to zero then immediately alarm seems to activate again. Deleting the alarm altogether was the only way to stop it.

      Thanks for everyones help. Very buggy and glad I'm not the only one sure the sonos guys will have it fixed. Hopefully before I go back to work next week.

      It appears to be just the Saturday alarm. Delete that and the rest of the week seems to be playing ball.

      Exactly the same problem reared it's head with one of my Play:1's this morning. Suspected the problem may have been the alarm because of the way the volume increases by itself each time I try to stop the radio playing. I have no solution - tried all the usual stuff - but felt it necessary to add my weight to the number of people experiencing the same thing at the same time! Over to you, Sonos!

      Same here.

      I don't recall the alarm set for Monday - Friday ever coming on this morning, whereas the one set for Monday - Sunday came on and would not stop playing even when I press the button on the device or use the controller app.

      I turned off all the alarms as suggested and was able to stop the player. I guess someone at Sonos will be working extra hard this New Years weekend to get in a fix 🙂
