Fix & Optimize

I’ve successfully setup a Beam/sub mini based 5.1 setup to my PC via optical cable. Everything’s working perfectly. Is there some way to “link” my PC volume to my PC? With my HDTV/Arc, when I turn up the volume on the TV, it effectively turns up the volume on the Sonos. However, my PC Optical Out audio is independent of the volume on the Sonos soundbar. Can I configure Sonos to be turned up/down when I change my PC volume similar to how it works with my TV?

My Windows 11 and Android device both show the same issue; “Can’t Browse Music”.  Everything else works fine.  My wife has an Iphone and she has no issues using the system.  Once she selects music my devices can then control the Sonos app as far as playing or adjusting the volume; just can’t pick any music from the Amazon Unlimited library. I have un-installed the Sonos app and re-installed it several times. I have removed the Amazon Music service from Sonos and added it back… several times.  I have reset the Sonos App and then removed and added back the Amazon Service.   Not sure what else to do at this point.

I originally set up my system (several Play 1, a Connect, One, and two Bookshelf) in a wireless setup with the Ethernet cable into the One. It has all been working well, but now, moving to no Ethernet access, I need to switch the system to wireless. It seems this is not possible without a factory reset of all speakers to enable wireless connection. This will obviously remove all my settings, including services and playlists, which would suck.I tried just resetting the One and giving it wireless access, but once I did this it was of course no longer part of my system. Plugging another speaker into Ethernet I can add the One back, but now I am where I started. There seems to be no way to just connect the whole thing to my WiFi without factory resetting the speakers.

Hello to All!I bought a sonos roam 2 on this week and have a lot of pleasure with its sound. But my main aim is common sound device for all purposes. Using sonos as speakers for iPhone was really cool. It’ll be very convenient to use sonos just as PC speakers. And via WiFi. How I can do it? 

I have recently got a turntable and 2 era 100s.I wanted to connect them both through line in (turntable has 2 output cables, left and right output) so have got all the necessary adapters and plugged them both in.However, when the era 100s are set up as a “stereo pair” on the sonos app only the left speaker produces sound when playing from the turntable. This occurs even when switching the cables around, only the left one works, yet the volume can be controlled by either (since they are a “stereo pair”). The right one only works if i disconnect power from the left, in which case the right one works perfectly. Therefore i know there is no cabling issue between speakers and turntable.Despite this, playing music through a streaming service to the “stereo pair” works perfectly.Although if the speakers are NOT set up as a “stereo pair” on the sonos app and are just 2 standalone speakers, connecting via the 2 line in cables from the turntable works perfectly with sound produced from both spea

I just subscribed to Amazon Music Unlimited.  In the Windows Sonos app I already had the Amazon Music service configured.  When I access Amazon Music, I only see music that I purchased from Amazon, none of the 50 million songs in the Unlimited version.I tried resubscribing to the account and still can’t see all of the music offered by Amazon Music Unlimited.Is it even possible to see all of the Unlimited content in Sonos?

I bought a Sonos Ray and would like to install it with the Sonos Android app.This is impossible and I can't connect to my account via the app and therefore install my Sonos Ray.I've tried using Chrome as my browser, but it doesn't work.I've reset the application several times, but it doesn't work.In short, I've got a sound bar I can't use.Am I alone ?What the solution ?

I have just been testing the edit playlist feature on android v 80.21.3 os v 85.0.64200.I started with a playlist playing in the queue and then as I was listening to each track I had the edit playlist function open and started deleting tracks from the playlist that I no longer wanted (NOT from the queue itself).After about 10 minutes of editing I was astonished as some of the entries I had deleted reappeared in the playlist right in front of my eyes without me touching anything.I then reviewed the playlist and found some of the tracks I deleted earlier in the session had correctly been removed whilst others had returned BUT worse still was that tracks I definitely didn't delete have been removed from the playlist. ( I noticed this as it was a track I hadn't even got to in the playlist).So not only had I wasted 10 minutes of edits I have ended up with random tracks missing. I now have to restore the playlist and start again.WHAT IS GOING ON?  This would have been easy to miss if I hadn'

I posted a while back about an issue with duplicate album names (https://en.community.sonos.com/topic/show?tid=6925592&fid=229131). That is still an issue, but this seems to be a new wrinkle.Just eyeballing my album list, I see (at least) eight cases where the same album title is used on different albums by different artists. One example: ‘Greatest Hits’ by (1) Carole King and James Taylor, and (2) Steely Dan.The most extreme case is ‘Unplugged’ by four different artists.(Alicia Keys is erroneously​​​ repeated)In all cases, if I select one of a group of duplicates and ‘Replace queue’, ALL albums of the same name get queued.Can anyone else check for similar behavior?Yes, I realize I could get probably around this by simply tweaking the name of one of the albums, but should I have to? Should be a simple fix for a vendor who was concerned.Please advise. Thanks!

I have a new router in the hall now and don't want to permanently hardwire a play 1 speaker there.  Can a 5  x play 1 system work on wifi with none hardwired to a router?  Asking as the app isn't detecting my products, unless hardwired and doesn't seem to be using wifi anyway.

I just discovered that MyTuner Radio no longer works in Sonos. I deleted the service and reinstalled it, to no avail. Yesterday it was functioning normally. Did something change I'm not aware of? Or maybe there is a Sonos-rep who can shed some light on this problem? Thanks in advance.

For the last two weeks or so, my audio has been stuttering when I play podcasts from my phone. It does not stutter when I play music, and it does not stutter when I am watching TV and using the Arc for audio. Sonos support seems to think I have a high amount ot wireless interference. I do not have smart devices other than my TV and I have not added anything new. I've tried all the different WiFi channels with no change. Could this really be the issue if it's not stuttering all the time? What else do you think I could try? I've tried a couple different services and it stutters across both of them. 

Hey everyone,I hope someone can give me some advice concerning using Sonos voice control to move music between speakers.  I used to have one Era 100 in the kitchen and one Era 300 in the lounge and I could move music easily by saying “hey Sonos, move music to Era 100” for example.  I have now added a second Era 100 in the bedroom and whenever I give the command Sonos will ask me “do you mean Kitchen Era 100 or Bedroom Era 100” to which I respond and then nothing happens.  I’ve tried playing around with different variations of room names and even named Bedroom Era 100 and Kitchen Era 100 but nothing works.  Here’s my current set-up: Can anyone help me out with what I’m doing wrong? I can of course switch the music within the app but sometimes I don’t want to have to faff around with the app when a voice command should be sufficient. 

Hi, looking for some help troubleshooting ongoing issues with Alexa and Sonos Voice Control on my Era 300 speakers. Hoping someone has experienced something similar or has suggestions.My Setup Arc Ultra Sub 4 2x Era 300 (rear surrounds, in a surround setup with Arc) Voice assistants in use: Sonos Voice Control and Amazon Alexa Era 100s in various other rooms TV connected via eARC HDMI to the Arc Ultra which is then set up as surround sound with the Sub 4 and the 2x Era 300 speakers. What Happened Initially, I had both voice assistants working fine on all three speakers (Arc + both Era 300s). Everything was smooth for ~1-2 days. Then I reconfigured my home network, included some VLANs for network segmentation and reconfigured the DHCP settings (lease lasted for 120 minutes so after 2 hours the speakers should have renewed with the new DHCP settings).Side note: 2.4GHz WiFi network SSID and password stayed the same, so devices should have reconnected without any issue. Post-Ne

Necesito cambiar la membrana de uno de los Sonos ONE SL , algun servicio en España, vivo en Logroño La Rioja., gracias. Moderator edit:Google Translate-I need to change the membrane on one of my Sonos ONE SLs. Is there any service in Spain? I live in Logroño, La Rioja. Thank you.

Have app loaded on Windows an Android. Using Amazon Unlimited and until last 7 days no problem. In My Music section of  Amazon Music Services if I chose Albums I get list of albums but when I click on individual album therein I only get image and not list of tracks to play. If i press on sub-menu and press play now I get error message. However all tracks are there if I access ‘Tracks’ rather thank ‘Albums’ I have not got over 500 tracks and have tried both delisting and readding Amazon to services. Any advice appreciated

Hi, I've just updated my router and cannot find any of my play ones. Even when I wore the router to the speaker. Is this a software issue or is it because my speakers are old?

Hi All,I have a new setup at home that is:Samsung OLED S95D (Dec 2024) Sonos ARC Ultra + Sub (Gen 4) + 2x ERA 300 (Mar 2025) PC with Nvidia 4080 Super and Windows 11 (Dec 2024)I connected everything as I think it should be connected: PC goes to one HDMI 2.1 port on the OneConnect Box from GPU Sonos ARC Ultra to eARC port on the OneConnect BoxUp to few months ago, the system was working flawlessly: I was able to see Dolby Atmos on my PC, the app Dolby Access was showing the configuration (for home theater the Atmos was enabled) and life was good. All of a sudden, probably after an update on the GPU, the Dolby Access stopped working. I can see that the system processes Dolby Atmos from Windows settings, but I am bot able to activate it from spatial audio settings.I tried rolling back GPU Drivers, installing new drivers,  switching HDMI ports but no chances. The spatial audio is gone.I also managed to reinstall Windows 11 (I upgraded my SDD) and I still have the same issue.Do you guys hav

Green light on port, why?

Hi, I’m sorry if this has been asked and answered already but I can’t find anything apart from this old unresolved thread. Every playlist or album I start from spotify or from the Sonos app (using spotify) plays one track and then stops. Sonos Era 100Definitely not any kind of network issue.  Its driving me mad and I would appreciate any solution here so so much! Thanks!

I want to mount my pair of Sonos ERA300’s only once onto my rear wall which is against my sofa. I don’t want to be faffing around, drilling multiple holes into my walls to adjust their height so what is best : ear level, slightly above ear level, or higher?Has anyone tested different heights with their ERA300’s as rear theatre speakers and what worked best?Does raising the speakers up 30 cm above ear level make a huge difference>?Let me know what worked for you. Regards

I posted this question in the general section, but it probably belongs in this group:My son just got a JBL Spinner Turntable in his room. We have some “One’s” and a Subwoofer in the house connected through ethernet (wifi).How can he hook his Turntable to those speakers, as he’s excited to introduce his “old parents” to his fresh music vibes (which also includes Abbey Road from the Beatles:)This is his Turntable: https://www.jbl.com/home-speakers/SPINNER-BT.htmlIt seems there are various options, but looking to see if someone has experience with this so we get the best results. Thank you

Sometimes I just want Sonos to play random songs from my Apple playlist ‘Songs’ list rather than having to select playlist I’ve created. I tried adding the Songs list to my queue and to my sources but Sonos just runs the list saying the track isn’t available. I have to shut Sonos down completely to stop the loop. Is there a way to get Sonos to play my songs, I have a large number, randomly?

On the S1 app if you hadn’t played music in a while from the iOS app - and you went to play music it would ask you where you wanted to play the music.  It was a setting in the S1 app called “Confirm Location”.  Is this no longer available on the S2 / new Sonos app.  Was this feature removed, or is there a way to activate it?

I normally use the new Sonos App (Android) on either my Google Pixel 8 phone or my Apple iPad to control my system.  Over the last 2 weeks I have found that 25% of the time when I open the new Sonos App I get a message saying no products found? I also have an 8 year old iPad that still runs the old Sonos S2 App.  It can always find my Sonos speakers and control them. I suspect the new Sonos App is trying to log into the Sonos Cloud system to get some information for my account and when it doesn’t get what it needs, it defaults to displaying no products found.   Has anyone else experienced this and how did you resolve it? Thanks very much Dave
