Fix & Optimize

I’m really struggling to get full access to my Amazon music library i know the limitations on playlists of 500 tracks which to be honest varies at any given timebut trying to search my full library seems limited to the first few hundred artists I want to browse my whole Amazon artist or track list and can’t understand why it’s so difficult.the spotty performance of the software is bad enough but this make me want to sell my system as it so frustrating. All I want is a playback medium not a third party filter 

I have an Arc Ultra with a sub (gen 2), Apple TV 4k for streaming and like to switch between my tv and using spotify on my mac.  Works great with no issues UNTIL I added a Move 2 so that I could have that sound in my kitchen.  After much difficulty I finally got the Move 2 to sync with my Arc Ultra playing sound from my TV, (no idea how I did it but it worked) UNTIL I switched to playing spotify on my mac.  Lost all signal to the Move 2 and now it won’t even connect back to my TV.  iPhone app has been only more confusing.  Very frustrated now.  Do I have the wrong product for this type of usage?  Anyone else have this issue?

Hi, I have Arc Ultra in my living room with Sony TV. I am considering to add rear speakers to improve the surround sound effect, ERA 300 is not on my list as the size is big. Hence, I will go for two units of ERA 100. If I just put the ERA 100 on same level as Arc Ultra, the effect wouldn’t be obvious? I will add in sub mini as well in the future.  Really need advices from experienced person or expertise. 

I have a Playbar and two Play 1’s all in my ‘TV room’The Play 1’s are set up as Stereo and the Playbar is connected to the tv via optical cable When I try to set Play 1s as surrounds nothing happens and the app tells me it is looking for compatible speakersHow do I join all components together ? ps was all working until I changed WiFi details It’s all been ‘reset’ and works individually but not as a home theatre set up thanks 

We have several cell phones connected to the speaker system via my account. I have been able to log in and access my services on every device, except for one (my daughters phone). I can see our speaker system in the app, but not log in to access our services. When I click “log in”, I repeatedly end up on the page below (cannot be reached). I'm also unable to open the sonos website in the Chrome browser on that device while I'm connected to the wifi (the same wifi that recognized my speaker system on that same device!). When I turn the wifi off, I can open the Sonos website over mobile data and log in, but when I turn the wifi back on, the services are not available in the app. I've read through several chats and followed many steps (reinstalling the app, restarting devices and routers, clearing caches etc), but nothing seems to work. Grateful for your advice. 

Connected 4 Polk speakers to my Sonos amp and one of the Polk speakers is not working?  Thank You, 

Hi. I’m designing a system in my house, I’m new to Sonos amp, I believe I need it for recessed speakers as Sonos don’t offer mains networked recessed speakers from what I understand? Provisional setupcinema room 5x4.5m:1x bass,1x playbar,1x pair rear 8 inch sonance 1x Sonos amp Large open plan kitchen a lounge space 12m x6m. Tv one end kitchen the other:1x play bar4x 6 inch rear speakers 1x Sonos amp looking to install recessed speakers in 3x wc’s. I belive I need 3x additional amps if I wanted to only play music say in one of them at a time… Or am I missing something? I may just opt for the surface mount mains ones in other areas if buying multiple amps is the only way  im toying with the idea of a audio switch to save on amp cost for the cinema and kitchen rooms listed above, but not sure if it’s going to be a pain to keep switching as they would be mounted all together in utility cupboard, I’d like some ideas of how other people install with similar setup       

I have the Arc with 2 Play 1s and a sub as my setup for the family room. I am an android user and have been using my android phone to adjust the audio but obviously, I know that trueplay only works with iPhones and some iPad models.Moving forward, I had a iPad (10 gen), that I know is not compatible with sonos trueplay feature. I upgraded to iPad 11 (A16 chip) after I read all the requirements from the sonos website that will accept the sonos app. To my dismay, I found out first hand that it is not compatible to use trueplay. I called sonos tech support before I made that purchase and asked if the iPad 11 (A16 chip) will be compatible with trueplay - they agreed that it will work. I have proven that they themselves are wrong.I bought the iPad from Bestbuy where they sell sonos products and apple products. I asked their knowledgeable reps (Geek squad and also floor sales), made them read the iPads that will work with trueplay, and they recommended highly the iPad 11 Air (M3). Well, gues

I have a 2024 Hisense U7 series TV and a Sonos Arc with Two Play ones as surrounds and a bonus sub.The arc is connected to TV via HDMI earc port.  When I have the Digital Audio Output set to Passthrough and watch shows on Netflix, I get Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital Plus badges to show in the Sonos app.  But when I use Peacock it say Stereo PCM in the app.  But if I change the TV setting from Passthrough to Dolby Digital, then when watching Peacock it show a Dobly Digital badge and does indeed sound better.  But then in Netflix I no longer see the Atmos badge.  So I am super confused as to what setting to put the Digital Output to.  If I put it on Auto, then when watching Peacock, the Sonos app shows Dolby Multichannel PCM 2.0.Dolby Multichannel PCM 5.1 for shows that was showing Dolby Digital Plus.  Dolby Atmos still seems to work correctly in this settingSo really confused what setting I should put it on.Is there a difference between Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Multichannel PCM 5.1

Hi all,as title says really.  I’m currently in the process of a kitchen renovation and trying to understand whether or not I can wire 6 Sonance VP60Rs to a single Sonos amp ?  All I can seem to find is the following “The Sonos Amp is designed to reliably power up to three pairs (six total) of Sonos Architectural by Sonance speakers (INCLGWW1) when wired in parallel”I do have a second amp but was planning on using that exclusively for a pair of outdoor speakers. Thanks in advance 

Out of absolutely nowhere when I launch the Sonos app from my iphone 16ProMax I started getting “No System Found” errors. I go through the process of connecting my Roam again which in turn lets the app see one of my Sonos 1 speakers in the same room. Pretty much every time I launch the app the last few days I have to go through this process.Now I’m getting “No WiFi connection” although I only have one wifi SSID; my sonos system was set up on it, and it’s the SSID my phone uses.What gives?

Last few days I’ve started having issues out of the blue with my Sonos system / app. I have a play 5 first gen, couple of play 1s, play 3 , sonos bridge and an ikea collab speaker. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled it, my wifi is stable and no changes. My operating systems are all up to date including Sonos app. Any ideas? Anyone else experiencing this? As someone who invested in Sonos in the earlier days I don’t have the funds to replace them and am frustrated by this situation. 

Hello all, at the moment when using “folder view” on the new app, there is no “add to queue” option on a folder, so if I go into a folder holding a collection of MP3s I can’t “add to queue” the whole folder content like I  used to do on the old app. I know you can use the non-folder view but this is the functionality I want to use. Is there a “wish list” anywhere to make sure options we want get recorded somehow?This is I think the only thing stopping me from moving to the new app at the moment, I have one speaker on the new app with my remaining 15 or so on the old app, waiting for it to work in a manner that suits me.

The latest release notes for 80.20.33 (Android) on 05/08/25 indicates this was included:  “For locally-stored music libraries, making it possible to queue entire folders”.  However, that doesn’t seem to be the case.  Anyone else having any luck?  In fact, I notice that I now have 2 issues: 1. There is still no option to add entire folders from my music library to a queue (nor replace queue, add to end of queue, play now, etc.).  This hasn’t existed since the wonderful app “upgrade” almost a year ago.  I’ve made do by using the desktop app to modify queues, create playlists, etc. which is a real pain.2. However, now I noticed that I can no longer add/replace/play my existing music library playlists (.m3u) to a queue either.  Sometime over the past several months this became an option… but when I try to do it now, it just spins and nothing happens.  So, I’ve gone backward in functionality once again... and it’s getting really old. Anyone else having similar problems and/or workarounds? 

Sonos S1 Controller for Mac Version 11.15Mac Mini running Sequoia 15.4.1Music app (old iTunes) library: Macintosh HD\Users\OWNNAME\Music\iTunesProblem: I am unable to add my music library to Sonos even though the path name is correct. My library is now empty and no matter what I have tried, I cannot get it back.I noticed a few months ago that my iTunes playlists do not update anymore under “Imported Playlists” in my Sonos controller. I also noticed that the file iTunes Music Library.xml had not updated for a while. Despite this, new music downloaded from the iStore would update in Sonos. I have also become aware that the Music app now uses the file “Music Library” in the folder Macintosh HD\Users\OWNNAME\Music\Music, which updates every time i open the Music app.To try and fix the problem with the playlists, I tried a few things:1. Export the iTunes library and copied this to the iTunes subfolder with the correct name (iTunes Music Library.xml) and re-added the Music folder.​​​​​​​2. C

I recently had the GEEK SQUAD install in EERO 6+ AX 3000 Dual Band Mesh WiFi  3-pack router and extender in my three-story townhome. I have been unable to connect my Sonos speakers, sub, and beam to it since then, despite having rebooted, reset and reconnected the components multiple times. I still get sound when I manually press the top of one of the speakers as well as my TV. The GEEK SQUAD came and got it going but a day later, they were not working again. They now suggest deleting the Sonos app and re-downloading it. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have just bought a new TV a Samsung but there is no optical output. With my old Tv I connected to my playbar with optical lead. There is only and optical input into my playbar. Is there a way of connecting my new Tv to my playbar?

Hello all, I bought a Roam 1 when they first came out which was replaced twice due to the well-known battery problems, the last time it was replaced I received a Roam 2 instead of the Roam 1, but did not get a replacement wireless charger. The Roam 2, when left on the Roam 1 wireless charger -- no matter what USB charger I use -- does not work the next day as it discharges overnight. Does anyone know if there is a difference between the Roam 2 and Roam 1 wireless charger? Does anyone find that the wireless charging works on the Roam 2?I’m still surprised that this product is so poor basically and am hoping that I’ve had three duff ones in a row.. Having a portable product that can’t manage its own battery in 2025 is a poor show.

Hi - for years now I have been able to stream the audio from an Insignia tv via the RCA outputs on the tv to the RCA inputs on my older Sonos gen 1 amps to the various speakers throughout our home. simply plugged in and it works though the “Audio Component” setting in the Sonos 1 app with no problems.  I just replaced the Insignia TV with (an older) Sony XBR55X900A TV.  I have plugged in the same RCA cable into (what I think are) the RCA audio outputs on the back of the Sony, but it is not working. 

I have a pair of Fives connected as a studio pair, which are then connected to my turntable with a Port. All wireless except the Port to the turntable. When connected as a studio pair and playing music from the turntable, one speaker plays fine, and they other one just cuts in and out over and over. It plays maybe 2% of a song. Disconnect the two as a studio pair and the audio is good from the the turntable to both speakers. Connect them as a studio pair and stream through Spotify and music is good. It’s just the combination of studio pair and the turntable which is not consistently working (or really working at all). Any tips?

I have 4 Sonos amps and 4 pairs of Sonance by Sonos speakers.  2 pairs are older and are detectable by the amps and 2 new pairs are not.  The 2 pairs that are not detectable are brand new out of the box.  The amps are from Sonos and the speakers were from Amazon so there is no question about authenticity.  Why aren’t the speakers detectable?   I haven’t been able to find an answer here.   

Hello there,I have an issue with my Sonos setup (or i think it maybe a Sonos related problem).I have a 5.1 setup, Beam gen 2, 2 ones and a sub mini connected to my Samsung TV. I use Netflix and Viaplay to watch movies. Recently I have noticed that when playing movies in Viaplay it only ouputs 2.0 so no bass and no surround (it has worked before we had a power outage). The info states that the output audio is Dolby Audio, doesn’t specify 5.1 or 2.0. But there are some movies that are new so i assume the are in 5.1 format. Jumping directly to Netflix without shutting down the tv or Sonos system, everything works fine, Dolby Atmos, Dolby 5.1 etc.I read in another forum that this could be a Viaplay issue but then again in other forum that this is definetly a Sonos issue. On the TV i have audio output to Auto, tried the different options but no luck.What could cause this issue? I though that Sonos upscales to 5.1 or at least to 2.1? When watching movies in Viaplay i don’t even have bass fro

I have arthritis and the volume slide bar is so small and I only adjust from 10 to 20 which is the first 1/16 of the slide bar. Is there a way I can just type the volume number in? Or can I make the slide bar bigger? Or have a plus or minus buttons to adjust the volume?

We have a site wifi setup at a caravan park.We have a Play 5 Gen1.All working with Sonos S1 app.Site internet and wifi has gone offline before and sonos network recovered OK.This time S1 app not connecting.Router reset (many times).Ended up performing reset on Play 5 and attempting to set up as a new system.All goes well until it sets up the sonos network.When I return to enter the local network details, the sonos app locates many other routers but not mine.So I type in details manually.It keeps telling me it can't verify the password for the router or that the router password is wrong.Been through this setup process repeatedly a few times with same result.Password is 100% correct.Two TV, two iPhones and apple laptops all connected to router - no issues.Any help on this would be seriously appreciated.
