Fix & Optimize

I’ve just returned from a week away and can no longer connect to my Sonos speaker - basically the app doesn’t recognise that it exists. I’ve tried the various suggestions via the app and nothing works. Any insight would be gratefully received 

I would like to be able to play mp3 attachments which are sent to me via emails on my gmail account on an Android phone. I have a Sonos Era 100 and am already set up to play Spotify etc.  Thank you..

Does anyone know why the Sonos Beam Gen.2 seems to consume data with very high bandwidth peaks? I have a Ubiquiti Unifi network at home, the network manager is reporting >2Gbps transfer peaks to my Beam 2 when in idle (i.e. no ongoing sound output from HDMI or WiFi) however the reported 24hr average data consumption is ‘only’ 250MB  

I am having connectivity problems with some of my speakers. Does Sonos boost can really make a difference? Is there people who resolved these type of issues with boost?

Why am I unable to play my Apple Music through Sonos? I have over 1000 songs in my Apple Music app (both on the PC and Iphone), but when I go into Sonos to play my music, it is requiring that I have a paid subscription to Apple Music, in order to play my own music. Is anyone able to figure out how to play my own music from the Apple Music app in Sonos?

Hello, I’ve been using the Sonos Arc for over a year and recently purchased a pair of Era 300 speakers.Initially, I set up each Era 300 in a separate room, but then successfully added them as surrounds to the Arc.Unfortunately, I'm now experiencing an echo in the sound output.Could you please advise on how to resolve this echo issue? thank you  

Each time I log on to the Sonos web app, I need to choose between two systems. One is my own (CA14), and the other one is from an old apartment (R50). However I cannot delete the old one - and in the mobile app it does not show up (if it did I could switch to it and then “forget current system”).Any advice? 

When I press the bluetooth button on the top back of the Era 300 speakers, they do nothing, no sound, no blue light. My Era 300’s are already setup with WiFi and work fine, but I am trying to connect them to my bluetooth on my Iphone, and am having no luck. Any help is appreciated. 

I’m trying to add YouTube Music to my account in the Sonos app as follows:Add YouTube Music. I already have an account. Add YouTube Music account Please use the following code… Authorize After I put in the code Google says success. I then go back to the app as it says to do on the google page and after a moment it says YouTube Music wasn’t added. Tried on multiple devices and it does the same thing on both.

Hello everybody,  I've read that others have experienced a similar issue. I installed my Beam and Sub Mini without any problems, but today there were some power outages. Since the system was on, it lost power three times, and now it’s showing a solid red light.  I’ve already tried unplugging and reconnecting the power, but when I turn the Beam back on, after some white blinking lights, the solid red light appears again.  I also checked the Sonos app, and the Beam isn’t showing as connected to my Wi-Fi — I only see the Sub Mini. I even tried connecting the soundbar to the modem via LAN, but nothing changes, and the solid red light persists.  Additionally, I attempted a reset by disconnecting the power cable and reconnecting it while pressing the rear button with the “infinite” symbol. However, after the light flashes, it ends with the orange color, and then the dreaded solid red light appears again .  😭Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this? I’d really appreciate your help!  Th

I am trying to update my 6 units (all S1) and now for the last 15 min I am stucked with the “updating” “getting started...”   “do NOT unplug anything during this 2-3 minute update” Units are blinking white and orange for the last 15 minutes. How long should I wait?Can I stop it?

I got my father-in-law to get the Sonos Ray for his living room and he loves it. However, recently the tv messed up and they went out and got a new one. The new tv doesn't have an optical audio connection and so I'm needing help on how to hook it up the the Ray. What adapter do I need? 

I have persevered with sonos, through alarms not working, to rubbish App updates! the only thing i actually had working was my SoundCloud Playlists…. i have friends that are DJs and they upload new play lists which seamlessly updated within the sonos app, and i was able to listen to them all without issue, that was until a hour ago! all my playlist that took years to create….GONE off the app? they are still on the sound cloud app (thank fully) but these lists have decided to go on a nice vacation to WTF!!! why is something SO basic.. the CORE of sonos So irritatingly unable to Play music and stay that way!!, you need a IT degree and half a day to speak to Sonos, and on each occasion, they never say,,, yes its our C*ap updates… or Yes we did something and its broken,, its ALWAYS your system, your internet, Your issue… if I could get rid of this system I would….2 fundamentals that dont work… listening to music and setting a alarm… in this day and age SURELY a company that sells SPEAKERS

Hello all, I’m on the latest version of the Android app and latest version of Plex but I have found that my Plex playlist “Most Recent Podcasts” (which is in fact a playlist of recent downloads of MP3 files from various podcast apps rather than a straight “podcast” feed) can’t be opened from “Recently Played” -- it gives the error “Something went wrong” -- but if I find it in Sonos Favourites under Playlists, it opens just fine. It looks like Recently Played doesn’t save enough information or the wrong information to open the list despite it working fine from the Favourites section. Has anyone else seen this? And can Sonos do anything about this?

Hey folks, does anyone know if the Arc Ultra paired with Play:1 “bug” still works and hasn’t been “fixed” by Sonos? If so, I might actually get an Arc Ultra and let my Play:1s continue to shine for a while longer. Thanks.

I have a Audiotechnica AT-LP3XBT turntable that is bluetooth enabled (but not wifi enabled). I’d like to be able to bluetooth connect the turntable to one of my sonos speakers and then have that speaker cast (via wifi) to the rest of my Sonos speaker network, which includes a Sonos Move (Gen 1) , a Sonos Sub and several Sonos One SLs.I understand that none of my current speakers are capable of doing this but I’m wondering if any others can - to inform my next purchase. Separately, I’m considering buying a soundbar (e.g. Arc Ultra or Beam) for my home entertainment set up - so if one of these can work - that’s ideal.  Sorry if this is a repost of sorts… I’ve read other posts and generally saw mixed information, which left me uncertain,.  

Hi I have Sonos Arc Ultra and Nintendo Switch 2 with latest firmware/software. The pairing works fine, and audio plays fine right after pairing. However, once disconnected, reconnecting from Switch 2 seems not working, until putting Ultra to pairing new device mode again (which is a cumbersome manual step). Meanwhile Arc Bluetooth with Steam Deck seems totally fine; and Switch 2 connect with other non-SONOS bluetooth with no problem either. Anyone has similar experience? Any idea what may fix this?

Do you have an expected release date of when I will be able to control the Sonos device volume using the Android volume up/down buttons on the side of the phone?  Seems like very simple/common functionality, I’m surprised it doesn’t exist yet.Right now I have to unlock the phone, go into the app then change the volume.  If I’m doing this wrong, or missing something please let me know.The app version on my Android is 80.22.28 - June 4th, 2025 - so it’s pretty recent.

I have a playlist on YT Music with over 150 songs. When viewing the playlist, I cannot see any song past 100. Instead, the playlist repeats song 1 instead of song 101. I can scroll through this playlist infinitely, forever stuck with songs 1 to 100. This has been an issue since the app update. Please fix.

Hi, I can’t do correktion of bass, Please helo 

In the past I’ve had trouble getting truplay to work with my iPhone 13 but finally figured out that because I wear hearing aids, evidently it was using the microphone on my hearing aids instead of my iPhone so it would never complete the process. Once I shut off my hearing aids truplay worked fine with my iPhone.Hopefully this helps if someone is having the same issue.

Hi there, this is kind of a follow up to:Although I’m not the OP of that thread, and I’m well aware this is a known issue with no ETA at the moment, I’d like to share some info/discrepancies that I’ve seen from similar threads as well as to tell my own experience with the hope of narrowing down this issue as much as possible and perhaps help the engineering team find a fix or workaround sooner.I’m not going to copy and paste all the other links here. It’s really easy to find them by just googling “sonos beam 2 metallic robotic sound”. You’ll find several threads in both this forum and reddit. Some are even about 4 years old.The reported issue is the same, the beam produces some annoying metallic/robotic, like out of phase sound that is particularly noticeable with certain background sounds like crowds or waterfalls. This video makes it easy to detect: But you have to play it over HDMI through the TV, if you do it via Airplay or bluetooth the issue doesn’t occur, which is something that
