Controllers & Music Services

A few days ago, my symfonisk remote stopped working and there is an alert in the ikea home smart 1 app that it cannot connect to my 2 symfonisk speakers. I have tried re-adding the speakers and cannot. They show up fine in the Sonos app. Unfortunately IKEA was not of much help, so I’m curious if anyone here has had this issue and been able to fix it. Thank you. 

I can’t find the TruePlay option for my Sonos Arc when on my “Living Room” page on the new app, where I have an Arc (gen 1), Sub (gen 2), and 2 Sonos One SL’s as Surrounds. This is the same on my iPhone 15 Pro, my iPhone 11 Pro, and my iPad Pro OLED. Any ideas?

I’m trying to add a speaker has disappeared off my system (but that’s for another topic when I’ve got it sorted) I hit the + To add speaker or component and it says “sign in as the system owner” but I am already signed in.

I have a Roam 2 and an Era 100. I cannot get the app to recognise them both at the same time. They are on the same network and are recognised individually if the other is switched off. I'm not trying to stereo pair them as that's not poss but it would be nice to have them playing the same music in different t rooms. Is it just me being a muppet or what? 

Every morning, the Sonos app shows no services. I have to re-add my Apple Music subscription, and I now have eight Apple Music profiles in the Sonos app (all with the same apple ID). Sonos Radio disappears too and comes back when Apple Music is re-added.  How can I make Apple stay? I was hoping to expand my setup, but it won’t be worth it if I have to add my services every day. 

tune-in radio series are a constant issue with dropouts, disconnecting to service and reliability - there are conversations and questions regarding this issue on this support chat that go back a number of years yet the issues remain the same and are unresolved. the service is not compatible with Sonos and should be removed - and this will remove the frustration.

Setting up/transitioning preexisting player and connect amp system in new home, and I keep getting Not Connected. The system has worked on and off, but I can’t seem to get it reliably connected and usable on my network. I have mesh wifi and ethernet. I have connect amp connected via Ethernet and playbar connected via WiFi, or at least that has worked previously. Now when attempting to use the system I get the Nit Connected and when attempting to Update Network in System Settings, it sees the devices, but keeps telling me I need to do a Factory reset on the devices, which I have now down 2-3 times on each device. Help! 

I’ve had Sonos for 3 years, I’ve never been able to alphabetize scrolling or search through my Tidal Playlists. Is that available now, and how do I find it? 

I can add a playlist to the queue once that playlist is playing I want to add another playlist to the queue. I go to anI go to a playlist and choose add to the end of queue and it says unable to add to the queue.

Is it possible to find a worse piece of software than Sonos desktop? Once again mine has stopped working, terrible stuff.

Is this a political isssue? A sonus issue that will be fixed? Or something else? Until this morning my pbs stations have playing well on my speakers for a long time  

Hello, the problem I’m reporting here is probably the same as one already reported into this community a while ago (in 2021). For reference, you can look to this thread from 2021 that was unfortunately discontinued.In short, the problem is as simple as he is (very) annoying. In Spotify, when the user flag a song as licked, the song is automatically added to the list of “Liked Songs” (see the capture I made in my Spotify app that show my current Licked songs list. When I select Sonos as the output for the sound from my iPhone, it is impossible to play any of the song that is into this list. Would it be a Spotify bug, I would not be able to play songs when I listen to a bluetooth headset. Yes, it not run only when I stream from my smartphone to my Sonos system. It is the same problem while I stream from Spotify from one Android Smartphone. I precise that my entire Sonos system is up to date as well as I own the very latest generation of Sonos system (Arc Ultra, 2 Era 300 and one Sub 4).W

The entire day my app can’t play anything through the Sonos app. Doesn’t matter which service I try I get an error message saying “could not connect to the server”  This is just another in the endless number of issues with the app. Yes I have restarted everything a few times.

I have used VLC to create an M3U playlist of 10 songs from my NAS, Sonos can see the playlist and will allow me to put the playlist on the queue (I’m using the PC controller) but the queue shows the songs in a weird format and if I try to play them I get a message saying the share //192.168.50.90/multimedia does not exist. This is weird because that address is the one that the Sonos music library folder is attached to in settings.The first few lines of the M3U are below:-#EXTM3U#EXTINF:176,10cc - Good Morning JudgeCds2/10cc/Deceptive%20Bends/Good%20Morning%20Judge.flac#EXTINF:169,10cc - Honeymoon With B Troop.flacCds2/10cc/Deceptive%20Bends/Honeymoon%20With%20B%20Troop.flac The songs appear on the queue as Good%20Morning%20Judge.flac and Honeymoon%20With%20B%20Troop.flac Anybody any ideas what’s wrong. All i Wanted to do was use an easier program to create a playlist of my own music and then be able to play that in Sonos.

Is there a way to add Everand app to Sonos content services? It’s a great audiobook app. 

every time I use Sonos it takes forever to load up. response on functions is slow, especially volume control / pause / play. It keeps losing the names on my amps and goes back to default. it’s never been as bad as it Is now on performance. The app design itself - still waiting for something great to happen. 

Hi there,I have a Premium Family Spotify account. I log into my daughter’s Spotify account on Sonos before she plays music using a voice command with Alexa but that music still appears in my own recent listening history on my own Spotify account.Why is this? Is there anything I can do stop this happening / affecting my Spotify algorithm?Thanks,James

I have an individual Apple music subscription. On my apple devices, I can view the Library, which shows, albums, playlists, artists etc. On the sonos app, I have added apple music as a service, I can play music etc, but can not view any of the library content, I get the error message “No items available”I have spoken to sonos support, and removed the service and re-authorised etc, with no change.Sonos support asked if I have a family subscription, but I only have an individual subscription, why would I need a family subscription, it is my sonos setup and only me uses it?

After using Sonos music system, when I turn on our TV in our great room, the TV sound is broadcast to 7 other rooms in our house.  How do I effectively prevent TV sound in each of the other rooms? 

I have recently converted my music folder from MP4 to M3 and it is stored on my PC Windows 10.Thispc/music/MP3 On setting the new pathway it has solved most problems but a lot of the tracks on Sonos playlists still show as MP4 (even though there is only one pathway to the MP3 folder)  Some tracks on the playlists  play some do not.Have I missed something? Deleting and updating the playlists works but would take forever 

Not a major issue but I’m sure you used to be able to thumbs up and down tracks while listening to a playlist from Amazon music.Tapping thumbs down would skip the track and gave a message saying something along the lines of “we won’t play this track again”.Tapping thumbs up would give a message saying something like “we will play more like this”In the app currently, tapping thumbs up or down simply skips the current track?Is this on a list somewhere of issues to be fixed? ThanksGeoff

Airplay2 from iTunes (Windows) and Roon does not work on Arc Ultra and Era Speakers. (Other Sonos products is working well.)Playback appears to start, but the seek-bar remains stuck and no sound is produced.(Factory reset of speakers, and restart router did not work)

Amazed to see that I was actually able to create an alarm today using iOS app ( after several days of attempting to do it and troubleshooting with zero success,)  However, is defaulting to the annoying chime sound instead of playing music playlist.  Can we get an update from Sonos on what is happening? I am spending way too much time on this and trying to troubleshoot it on my end when it’s clearly something wrong on the back end  

Why? When was this EVER a problem? Ever since the car crash update 3 or more years ago blocking the use of iTunes playlists etc. You all know the one?! I have  had Sonos for a decade until that update it was stellar, since…. let’s not go there…. money spent Sonos do not care, obviously… sorry my router is in a cupboard... 

I was finally able to get my Sonos One onto the network with my new router, after calling Sonos Support.I have added Amazon Music and SiriusXM as Content Services. When I ask Alexa to play Channel 31 on SiriusXM, Alexa says “playing Channel 31 on SiriusXM,” but doesn’t play anything. Similarly it tells me playing (selection name) on Amazon music, and plays nothing. If I use the Sonos app to select a song from Sirius or Amazon, the speaker Does play it.Also when waking Alexa, the Sonos One does not chime, the white light just flashes, which is unusual. How to fix these glitches?
