Play 5 connectés to the wifi Network wellthough cannot be assigned to a roomrestarted several time, always same error 1066 

anyone else experiencing an issue with their Sonos products as well as the current outage? 

Hello, I haven’t had any issues with PS5 or the Nintendo Switch 1. Both will reproduce well the 5.1 system that I have (Sonos Arc+2xSonos One SL + Sub (gen4th)). But the Nintendo Switch 2 is unable to reproduce 5.1, it says it can’t detect the PCM 5.1. I haven’t don’t anything different than the other consoles that I have. What can I Do?

Hi.My current setup is now BEAM, a pair of ONE as front surrounds and have just added a pair of ONE into the ceiling as stereo pair as rear speakers.Issue I have now is that when I use the app to control the volume I have set the balance to 60% at the front and 40% to the rear and when I use the sliders they all move proportionally. When I use the TV remove it only changes the volume at the front and the rear speaker volume on the sliders stay the same.Also, the LH and RH rear speakers on the sliders are slight different and I cannot line them up to be the same. I have counteracted this by putting more balance to the right but should not have to.Appreciate any assistance.j_ace7

I’m playing a few movies via Infuse Pro on my Apple TV, but for some reason (and only recently) when Dolby Atmos is enabled, I’m getting all of the speech (from I assume the centre channel) coming through the rear speakers. I’ve put my head to my Arc soundbar and can’t hear anything. It’s all coming from the rears. (Play 1s)It doesn’t seem to affect all movies - I have a few in Atmos that are fine - but a bunch of older movies (2009-2015) that have DDP Atmos 5.1 are consistently affected. I’ve compared one that works versus one that doesn’t in Mediainfo and they seem identical!AudioID                                       : 2Format                                   : E-AC-3 JOCFormat/Info                              : Enhanced AC-3 with Joint Object CodingCommercial name                          : Dolby Digital Plus with Dolby AtmosCodec ID                                 : A_EAC3Channel(s)                               : 6 channelsChannel layout                           : L R C LFE

Must i change the network on all my sonos products individually?  I upgraded to netgear ORBY Wifi 7.  Which is now a new network.  I am hoping to easily change all my sonos products at one time to the new ORBI network. 

Wtf is up with Sonos? Yeah there sound system is decent at best but you can’t f***ing play Apple Music without signing in to your own f***ing account 17 f***ing times. What the f*** is going on you stupid motherf***ers. Figure it the f*** out you incompetent POS. I could take a coding class 101 and would still know more than these [redacted] trying to work a simple app. JC I’m disappointed. Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

Hi.i have 2 play 5's gen 2 with an ark and sub gen 2. i want to purchase the sub gen 4. Is the sub compatible with the play 5's gen 2 ?

My wife and I both control the same system using the Sonos App on our iPhones.Most of our music lives on a network attached disk - and appears as a Sonos Music Library.  We often select albums from the ‘recently played’ list on the app. Until about a month ago we had no problems.  But now, items on the Recently Played list that were created by my wife are broken if I select them from my phone.  I get a grey icon instead of album art, and a message saying “Content Unavailable”.   The opposite happens when my wife selects something that I played last.This renders the ‘Recently Played’ list completely useless.  50% of the entries cause errors and you can’t tell which.  It’s like a bad version of Russian Roulette.  I have tried clearing the list, rescanning my music library, restarting the app, power cycling everyhing.  Still broken. Does this happen for other people?   Is there any fix?

I have an approximately 8-year-old Sonos Amp - CONNECT AMP.  We turned it on and it failed to work - no sound from the speakers.  The unit was working fine when we turned it off.  There have been no changes to the system since we used it last.  The light on the front of the unit, which was formally green, is now white/light pink in color.  I have a second Sonos Amp (same model) located directly below it that still works fine and the light is green.  Any ideas on how to fix the non-working amp?  Thank you.

Dear all Just ordered four Era 100 devices and quickly detected the issue, that the Alexa voice is compared to played music way too loud. I don’t see any option to reduce specifically Alexa voice, also reading of a bunch of issues in this forum - but mostly years ago and seemed to be fixed.  Any idea how to fix this? Otherwise need to return the order.  Much appreciated,Marco

Just installed latest app on android and am unable to find tone controls, I keep reading 'navigate to settings-system-product' but there is no 'system' option in settings 

I am still running my old Sonos system with the S1 controller v 11.15.4. Have recently been given an old play 5, but cannot add it to the system because the add product is greyed out. Keeps asking me to update, but obviously my system wouldn’t work with an S2 controller. Have reset the play 5, have plugged it directly into the router, but no joy. Is there any workround I can use?

I'm still using my dear, dear Playbar with two play:3's and a Sub gen3.Om my old TV, I had to use an Nvidia Shield to get surround sound on most streaming apps, at the expense of all kinds of sync issues. A few months ago it died and I upgraded my TV (Sony).Fortunately most native streaming apps on the new TV (HBO, Netflix and Disney+) are streaming in glorious 5.1. However, I just found out Amazon Prime Video is stuck on Dolby 2.0. All the movies I purchased digitally on Amazon refuse to output surround.I know the Playbar is ancient by now, and I fear the optical connection is the issue? But since other streaming apps do work on 5.1, I don't understand why Prime Video isn't? Any information is appreciated!I really dread having to upgrade my soundbar to eArc. Because I'm not sure if it would solve anything, but mostly because it would require new surround speakers as well (the Ultra is not compatible with the Play:3's).

I have several music apps all of them work fine with Sonos except Amazon music. It works fine for a minute or two and indifferent speakers keep shutting down and then popping back on. Does anybody have a solution?

This system is great when it works, but only when it works.  About 40% of the time it says that it is having issues with connecting to the speakers, the port, the server, or to the streaming service.  I know it’s not the internet connection, I work from home and it always works fine for me, wife streams TV, etc.  It’s never a problem except for with this product.   I’m still (mostly) able to airdrop music to the sonos products if it has elected to be awful that day, but it fights internally with which music it’s trying to play, what the volume is set at, whether the app lets me actually control that music, etc.  Really rage inducing stuff here.  Usually after a couple of hours of this circus, it decides that yes, the network is fine, and yes, we can play music today.  At this point when it starts being awful, I just switch to vinyl because I know that actually works, and then the app seems to be just fine the next day. I know there were some app-related issues that happened in 2024, I

Center bar plugged into TV. Wireless base & rear speakers. Is there a way to balance rear speakers when just listening to music? TV off

I had everything working on the app but must have changed a setting. Now the satellite speaker is showing at the top of the list and the Beam gen 2 is showing below. Both will no longer play content - any help?

I am finishing my basement which will have a gym and a rec room.  i have purchased 8 8” in ceiiling speakers and 4 amps.  I plan to have 2 amps in a closet next to the rec room and 2 amps in the gym.  I plan to have 4 speakers in the rec room and 4 speakers in the gym.  The gym will have an ARC capable TV.How should I run the wires?Should I set all the speakers to mono?Any other equipment is recommended?

Constant error messages on S1 listening to siriusxmUnable to play 'song' - the connection to SiriusXM was lost.Unable to browse music Anyone ever find a solution?

i know i need 2 of the ones for surround..just want to connect 1 additional speaker for additional sound...i know i can select them both in app...but i want to turn on the tv and the power and the volume work both together ..

I have S1 controlled system, because of a ZP100 that I have, and several Sonos Ones. We want better streaming alternatives and I started to move to the S2 controller, but I can’t add the Sonos One. It wants to update the software but also attach to the Sonos One private network, which doesn’t have access to the internet to download the software and fails.Sequence of events:Place Sonos One in pairing with blinking light. S2 app sees the Sonos One and starts to add it. Allow microphone and location access S2 indicated, “...let’s connect your mobile device to you Sonos One’s temporary network...”  Connect to temporary network S2 app says there is an update available Click Update, S2 app goes to screen indicating that it is restarting the Sonos One. Sonos One does not restart or do anything except having the blinking green light. S2 app times out and goes back to step 2.I guess a couple questions are:Can it get to the software update while the Sonos One is on the temporary network? Should

Hello Sonos Community  Can you recommend a NAS that will work on S2. Ease of use, no drop out and a a decent app are my priority. I’ll be asking for set up hints as well soon. Ha ha thanks

Hi all – hoping someone here can help!I recently bought a Sonos Move 2 and am trying to connect it to my Orbit Plus Turntable with built-in preamp using the Sonos Line-In Adapter (USB-C to 3.5mm). When I plug in both RCA cables from the turntable, the sound quality is terrible—very muffled or distorted. Strangely, if I only plug in one RCA cable, the sound is much clearer—but then I'm only getting mono audio.I love the portability and sound of the Move 2 and really want to use it for listening to records. Has anyone run into this or found a solution? Could this be a limitation of the Move 2’s line-in adapter? I'm even considering picking up a Sonos Era to test if it handles the signal better.Any suggestions, fixes, or alternate setup ideas would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance

Plug and play hey? Yeah righto Have to be the worse app as well
