Fix & Optimize

This is driving me crazy. I’ve got Spotify desktop app open on Win10. I can play an album or playlist fine, in the order I want. Shuffle options are OFFAs soon as I use the Spotify app to “Connect to a device” (in this case a Roam sitting next to the laptop) the queue completely changes and the SHUFFLE option turns on in Spotify. If I disconnect the Roam, the shuffle feature turns back off and the queue reverts back to normal.What is going on?To compound matters, the exact same thing happens if I use the iOS version of the Spotify app yo connect to the Sonos Roam. If I choose to play the music on the phone, it reverts back to the normal order. If I try to launch the playlist from from the desktop Sonos app (ver 16.6  S2  83161210) I just get “the connection to Spotify was lost” error message.  It’s unusable. I’ve tried uninstalling the Spotify service, reinstalling it again too.If I try to use the Sonos ios app, the same thing.

Simple question - why is the Sonos app so slow? When I open Apple Music or Spotify, there is no loading time. The Sonos app seems to be 5-10 seconds. Even clicking on a platform source and finding a song is slower. I can’t put my finger on it, but it just isn’t snappy like other services.  my alternative is to have Apple Music send directly to my Sonos speakers, but it doesn’t appear to play Atmos if I do that.  is there any chance Sonos will make their app as fast as the service apps, or allow me to send Atmos to my 300s?

My Roam 2 was working fine this morning. I turned it off during a phone call. When I pressed play again, I got a “Not connected. No products found on [name of my wifi network].” Each time I went to System settings and had to reconnect it to my wifi network. I did not touch or change anything between the time I turned the music off and when I turned it on again. 

My Sonos app will not recognize my sub nor my play 1 speakers. Just changed phone recently to an Apple 16. Trying to switch to Verizon wireless. It was all working fine before those changes. I tried to turn off, sign out, disconnect and reconnect, delete the app and the download the app and tried a factory reset in which the app will not allow me to do, any other options out there, is anyone having the same problems ??

My Connect:Amp occasionally drops-out and regularly stops tracks 10 seconds before the end. It continues to play the next track at the right time and stays in sync on timing with all my other Connect:Amps, Play 1s and Play 5, but just stops playing for the final 10 seconds.It is on the latest firmware. Every device is hard-wired. A reboot doesn’t make any difference.My setup has been stable (since some issues last year totally coincidentally about the time of the app debacle where some of the devices moved to new firmware and others didn’t. I now update them all manually so I can monitor updates and ensure they don’t break everything) except for this one device (and the general slowness of the app everyone has, of course). 

We have a pair (paired) Sonos Move in our sauna and have some issues with the connection being high jacked from other devices. Say my daughter is in the sauna playing music and after finishing up she leaves and turns off Spotify on her mobile. Then I go to the sauna and I connect to the Move and play music. Then, if my daughter turns on her Spotify again the Move switches to her mobile, even though I am playing music. What's weird is that my Spotify is still showing as connected to the Move, but her Spotify, now playing on the Move is not showing any connection or even that a Bluetooth device is connected. She can also adjust the volume on her phone. How can you make the Move to not connect to another device while being connected to another device already? 

I have an issue with my Sonos Ace update.The Sonos app shows "Update Available," but when I tap "Update," it says, "Your Sonos Ace is up to date." This notification loop won't go away.I have already tried extensive troubleshooting, including: * Rebooting all devices (router, phone, Ace). * Reinstalling the Sonos app. * Performing a factory reset on the Sonos Ace.None of these steps have fixed the problem.Is this a known issue, and is there a solution?

I’m sadly having issues with the voice control on my Sonos Beam Gen. 2. I turned of the voice control a few days ago over the beam. I mainly did it to turn off the LED. Now I wanted to turn on Voice Control again, so i clicked on the microphone symbol on my Beam and the LED turned on again. When trying to actually use voice control, the Beam would not react. I tried to turn off Voice Control and turn it on again but when turning it off the LED would not turn off anymore (I tried it over the app and directly on the Beam). Now the LED is constantly on, the Voice Control doesn’t work anymore, and i’m completely clueless…Is there a known solution to my issue? Thanks for any help! 

Seems recently, within the most recent Sonos app update (80.20.35) I have noticed cutting out on one or more speakers within my system only when streaming Apple Music with a track in Hi_Res or ~Lossless format. Sometimes the speakers bounce from one to the other or cutout intermittently and then temporarily come back. (6 One SL’s, 1 Move, 1 Sub Gen2) All speakers on Wi-Fi - 5GHz (eero mesh)When this cutting out occurs I can see the Wi-Fi radio analytics spike to a ‘congested’ state within my eero mesh system. Streaming any of the other music services I used in the native Sonos app (Amazon music, Sonos Radio, iHeart, Sirius XM, ReListen) do not cause intermittent cut-outs or issues when streaming.When I stream to my Sonos speakers via AirPlay directly from the Apple Music app I do not have the speakers cutting out intermittently when a track is streaming Lossless or Hi_Res.This issue just came up in the most recent app update or perhaps it was the update before last week I noticed the i

My Roam has, as it does occasionally, moved locations, so I factory reset it and added it to a different S2 system. Added fine, connected to wifi, all good, but it reports itself as “not registered”. There’s a “Fix It” button, which pretends to do something, but it doesn’t really.This happens using my iPhone, my wife’s iPhone, her Mac and my PC. The Desktop apps refuse to allow any other speakers to be used. The Mobile apps allow basic access to other speakers, but block access to actual music selection (everything is greyed out).Digging into the topology XML I can see that the reason the Roam is quarantined is “upnpovertls”, which is curious. (This translates to UPnP Over TLS).I have reset the apps, ensured I am logged into the correct Sonos account, and still this Roam will not register, it is still quarantined. 

Hello, after a year, a new CEO and now a “we are sorry” phase from Sonos, I want to put a very niche feature back on the table for a future sprint from your dev teams :The support of custom providers.Yes you might want HTTPS, but I know how to install a reverse proxy.Please let us, the tech advanced people do cool tricks again and let me use subsonic again with my Sonos system.https://en.community.sonos.com/controllers-and-music-services-228995/airsonic-subsonic-bonob-support-6893831

When playing music from Apple Music in the Sonos app (not AirPlay), most tracks seem to correctly apply album-based loudness normalization. That’s great! However, if the song is only in Cloud Music Library (i.e. uploaded from my Mac and unavailable to be matched in Apple Music), no normalization is applied, and the song can be wildly louder or quieter, which makes the Apple Music–Sonos integration completely unusable for me, especially if I want to shuffle a playlist of mixed sources, which may have me frantically running for the volume slider between each track.These Cloud Music Library tracks have normalization data (iTunNORM tags) in them, whether scanned by Apple Music when adding to the library, or by a third party app. Apple Music has used iTunNORM tags since it was called iTunes, and it has always worked fairly reliably in Apple Music’s iOS apps (except when Apple randomly introduces AirPlay bugs, which they occasionally deign to fix). As of iOS 18.5, that mostly works as expect

When I open the Sonos App, go to Amazon Music Service > My Music > Albums and choose an album from my Amazon library, no play, shuffle controls appear. This just started this last week or so and I’ve tried the usual: signing in and out, reinstalling, reauthorizing Amazon Music.  Anyone have the same issue? Support for Amazon and Sonos drew a blank and pointed fingers at each other.   

why can’t sonos keep various artist albums in one folder under compilations like it use to. every compilations album is now split into single songs.

I am going to put in a call to Sonos next week when I can. Just received my Sonos ace and when connecting to Sonos Arc volume is still very low even at 100%. Have seen all the discussions on how to may fix but still no resolution even after 8 months+ from release. This is shocking.. think I will be returning mine if this cannot be resolved quickly. Took advantage of the 30% off offer but now think this was too good to be true. Surely the tv swap should be flawless being the Sonos ace main USP!  am I missing anything to resolve this issue? thanks 

How do I give my daughter access to control music selections on my Sonos system

So, for the past 3/4 years. I have had the ARC and sub working flawlessly with my older non-4k Samsung TV. It had a Direct TV Stream box and Apple TV. Here is how it was connected:ARC to TV-  HDMI to optical out using the Sonos dongle Direct TV Stream to TV-  HDMIApple TV to TV-   HDMIVolume was controlled with either remote(Direct TV or Apple TV remotes) and you would see the ARC respond to any volume changes via the lights on the front of the ARC. The TV would show that it was using external speakers.OK, everything worked great. Now here comes the issue.I get a new Sony Bravia 4k TV and did a basic swap. The only thing I changed during the swap was I removed the HDMI to Optical dongle and went straight to the HDMI/ARC port on the TV. Now it nothing comes out of the ARC. I even swapped tt with a newer ARC just in case it was stuck on the old settings but it still didnt work. Here is my setup:TV:   Sony Bravia XR-77A80KApple TV hardware:What am I missing to make this work? On a side no

Once connected with Arc Ultra my other speakers era 100 and move 2 not visible.If I connect Era 100 or Move 2 Unable to see Arc ultra. 

Which subs are compatiable with Arc Ultra?Sub mini, Sub 3 or Sub 4. Which speakers are compatiable with Arc Ultra?

I have sonos Roam SL and sub 3, someone knows how connect this stuff to my tv, due that only I listen music. thanks for helping me out Moderator edit: Changed SL to Roam SL for clarity

hello.Roam2 plugged into USB-C charger (5V - 3A) showing “Incompatible Power Supply. Roam 2 isn't charging properly”.It does charge to 100% (although discharges faster than I'd expect when power is turned off).have tried other adapters, same error.is this significant? thanks

Hello,I’m considering buying Roam2 as a remplacement of my previous portable speaker that I used for my pc. The pc is a few years old and has no bluetooth. My previous speaker (Bose) could be used either with bluetooth, or by being directly connected to the PC via USB.Is Roam2 similar? Can it be plugged directly to the PC without using bluetooth? Thanks a lot for you help!

Hi there,My current setup in the living room: An Arc, a pair of One SL as surrounds, and a Sub gen4.I have recently purchased a pair of Kef R3 meta and am using Cambridge Evo 75 as amp. Just bought a Sonos Port and have successfully connected the Kefs to the port via RCA cables. However, the volume output on the Kefs is extremely low when port is selected as its input source, especially when the volume control on the Sonos app is set to Fixed or Variable. I have switched to Pass-through and tried manually adjusting volume via the amp, which is slightly better but I’d still have to bump it up to above 50db minimum to notice anything. Volume limit is set to 100%. There’s no line-in source on the port because I am only looking to group the Kefs with the sonos system together when I am using the TV. Arc is linked to TV via an HDMI cable.The Kefs and Cambridge evo are perfectly working fine on their own.

My music library disappeared after the May update like many other people. Tried all of the solutions put forward by other people but none worked. Decided to give up and find other systems that would play my music library in the Sonos sound bar. Recently decided to see if Sonos had solved my problem. There was now an update your music library key. Not sure if that was there before or not but tried it anyway. It seemed to work, but then came up with the message that it was indexing my library. It has now been indexing for a week and so I still cannot access my library. Any suggestions, not very computer literate so no compilated solutions.  

Every time I disconnect my Sonos One (like if I move) I have a very difficult time reconnecting. I can’t for the life of me get it to connect now even though I did a factory reset, updated the wi-fi network successfully, tried the new and the old apps. I’m at a complete loss and after 2 hours of trying everything I can think of, I want to shed a few tears. I also noticed that I got a prompt a few times to “log in as owner” which makes no sense because there’s no option other than regular log in for either app. Please tell me there’s some very simple way to get my speaker working!
