random muting on my system

My entire system mutes randomly and without touching any buttons, The voice Assistance not activated and that's not what appears to be causing it. Are there any solutions? I have updated my system.

Hi @jpnort 

I do have an update - we now consider this issue to be resolved. We were not expecting to see new reports of this issue at all.

Please ensure both your Sonos system and your Sonos app are fully up-to-date, and if you still see this muting occur, I recommend you get in touch with our technical support team to report as much - if they are unable to resolve the issue, we may have to reopen the ticket for further investigation.

I hope this helps.

It’s my first Sonos product and find it unreliable so far. Plexamp casting is not working and now this green light issue. I bought Sonos for the simplicity and quality, I wouldn’t have thought it would be so restrictive and bugged. Especially for that price!!

 

What I find unbelievable, is that this post was started 10 days ago, it is accessible by SONOS, both through your registered user account, and their database as a user of their products…

YET

No comment of any form, as to ownership of the fault, let alone a timescale for a fix by SONOS.

Contacting tech support (really… have you nothing better to do?), is unbelievably slow!

 

You could not make it up!

Experiencing same  issue -- I just spoke to support and shared a diagnostic code

Their response:

We would like to inform you that we are aware of the issue and currently working and investigating, and do not currently have an ETA.

 

Nothing to do except keep a look out for a update the fixes the issue.

What they could do, as a temporary fix is to give us access to the previous "working" version, to side load on our phones.

This would:

1) Let us use our very expensive limited use Sonos products.

2) Prove whether this is the app or firmware updates to the products causing all the grief.

3) Stop pi££ing off its customer base.

Maybe someone actually from Sonos can comment on here

This has been happening to me as well for the last week+. I have 10 rooms (12 devices) of Sonos in my house, and every morning when I wake up, ALL rooms are muted. Every morning. So frustrating. And since the new app acts like I have never set up a Sonos system half the time I open it, it’s an even bigger problem.

Same issue here so adding to the chain in the hope Sonos take this seriously.

Absolutely shocking experience since the new App and so disappointed with Sonos as a whole right now.

Mine do it in the middle of the night when everything is off. Annoying because the green LEDs wake me up.

Just turned on my main TV.

Oh guess what.

Beam, Sub and Ones used as rears all in mute with volume set at zero.  TV normally triggers volume via HDMI Arc. No amount of prodding the Panasonic remote would produce any sound?

Launched App, which promptly told me my system did not exist...Grrrr

Power reset resumed service.

Strangely I was logged out of this forum as well.

Cmon Sonos if you can monitor my system/account…

Sort this PoS out please

same issue, happens multiple times a day on a 10 speaker system. super annoying.

 

whats the rationale of releasing broken software and then continuing to break it further after years of it working well enough for everyone? hope the damage to reputation was worth it

In less than an hour. Exactly the same.

All green and muted.

Hard reset. The only way to resolve.
