Fix & Optimize

I recently purchased Sonos products because of the wireless connectivity. I have an Arc sound bar, Gen3 Sub and two Era100 speakers. It all sounds fairly decent although my biggest issue is having to use the app to control everything. Half the time it doesn’t connect and when it does you struggle finding the sound slide to turn down the music. Basically it’s very troublesome, until they can figure out how to improve on the app as a controller I’m only slightly satisfied with my purchase. 

Hi.Is there a way to control the roam 2 bass and treble when I’m outside my home Wi-Fi, using Bluetooth or another method? can I use Airplay 2 outside my home with no wifi…?thanks’ 

How is it 2025 and the Sonos Roam doesn’t have the ability to ROAM between multiple WiFi networks? I like to take my Roam between my house and my partners house without the need to manually reset/change the wireless connection. Surely this should’ve been implemented by now, judging by feature request threads from 2023 :( 

Had gotten my music library connected via my Mac controller several months ago but today out of the blue it stopped working. Dead. “Unable to play...access to \\iMac\Music denied” Re-entered same original settings but no luck. “Sonos was unable to load the music folder… check the username and/or password”Username & password are indeed correct but no go. So frustrating! 

My Sonos move has become disconnected from my Wi-Fi. As a result, it’s no longer showing in the App either . I’m having issues getting it reconnected. Please does anyone have any ideas ? I’ve not been able to perform a factory reset. As yet I’m at a loss and beginning to wonder if it will ever work again 😭

Hello,Is Sonos really trying to see how bad the software can be before people stop using the products?The app & software is so bad to start with but now I have run into an issue that is horrible, even by Sonos subpar standards:I am not able to use the app & soundsystem since the app refuses to update and doesnt let me use the app without the updated version. The only messgae that appears on the app is "there was a problem checking for updates".  Obviously, the customer service doesnt respond and there isnt any representatives online on the chat. And no, there is no error code.  

I routinely get “connection timed out” when simply trying to use Apple Music from Sonos.  Sometimes it it when I have been using airplay (YouTube… or Apple Music because I can’t use it from Sonos) but there is no pattern that I can identify.  I have tried shutting down, rebooting which sometimes works but the same problem reappears eventually 

What does the below mean?I need to run an update according to the app and I can’t get access to the app until the software is updated.“There was a problem checking for updates”

CD player is connected to Sonos Controller Line In, but the app says no device is connected. I tried rebooting, and updating, but no luck. I’ve used this for years, but yesterday it it stopped. How can I get Sonos to discover my device? 

I just invested in the arc ultra + sub 4 + 2 x era 300 surrounds.I'm a little underwhelmed by the front sound of the arc ultra.  Linked to this I need to have the system volume at around 55 to get a 'normal volume' The overall tone of the front of the system is a bit boxy and doesn't seem to fit well with the sub and surroundsIs this normal? Or could there be an issue with my ultra. I just set up a samsung q990d for a friend and power wise its blowing my set up away. 

Hello - with a recent Sonos upgrade I have lost the link to my Mac Music Library.  I have spent about 4 hours on the phone to Sonos without success and wonder whether is something that has gone wrong with the path.  If there are any Mac experts out there who could take a look at this set up and advise whether there is something wrong I’d be very grateful. 

so after my third time doing this I thought I would ask…. Every time I add my sonos arc to my sonos system and then add the google assistant, it goes offline a short while later - and there is no fix other than to factory reset.  I realize that sonos are no longer supporting google on new devices as they can’t seem to play nice together, however this did work fine until I moved to my new house.  In the old house we were in due to displacement by wildfire, I only had the arc.   Google worked fine on it.  So we rebuilt after the fire and moved in 3 weeks ago and I got a bunch of new sonos stuff to fill the new house - but now, as I said, I add the arc to my system, its fine everything works.  Then I add google assistant and it goes offline - it works for a little while, not sure how long, but in the morning I come down and it's offline.  Not only offline, there is no fix for it other than to factory reset.  I added it again yesterday, didn’t add google assistant and this morning it is st

When I connect a Bluetooth device to my arc ultra speaker, after about 5 to 10 seconds it kicks it off and goes back to the arc ultra speaker. I’ve tried many  times, have been not successful a few. It seems random. What do I need to do to keep my Bluetooth device which is a headphone to stay until I exit it myself.

I was actually able to cast Dolby Atmos to Sonos via the Hi-Fi Cast app. But the weird thing is, the Dolby Atmos indicator doesn't show up in the "Sources" section of the Sonos app.So my question is, when I cast Dolby Atmos to Sonos via the Hi-Fi Cast app, does it cast the Dolby Atmos audio downmixed to stereo?

I've verified that I can stream Dolby Atmos through Apple Music on the Sonos app. Does Plex on the Sonos app work as well?

Bonjour,Depuis les dernières mises à jour des contrôleurs pour mon Sonos Move 1 j'ai des gros souci de décalage entre mon PC (streaming avec Qobuz) et mon enceinte.Cela n'était pas le cas auparavant, ni avec mon iMac ni avec mon PC. Le son sur le Sonos démarre parfois plusieurs secondes après avoir lancé une piste musicale, c’est vraiment pénible.Et ce problème ne concerne que mon Sonos Move 1 car j'ai essayé le streaming bluetooth depuis mon PC avec d'autres enceintes (Philips BT-100 ou JBL Boombox) et il n'y a absolument aucun problème.Donc, ce n'est pas un problème avec le bluetooth de mon ordinateur.Pourriez-vous m'apporter une solution? Car c'est vraiment frustrant qu’une enceinte aussi chère que le Sonos Move 1 ne puisse pas répondre avec un minimum de réactivité maintenant.Merci d’avance. Moderator Edit - Translation by Google:Hello,Since the latest controller updates for my Sonos Move 1, I've been having major issues with lag between my PC (streaming with Qobuz) and my speaker.

Hi everyone I’ve recently brought a symfonisk I’m pretty sure it’s generation 2 I’m using the sonos app but it keeps telling me to log in although I’m already logged in, I’m trying to add Spotify to my account has anyone got any suggestions? 

For some months now I’m experiencing an issue when asking Google Assistant to set the volume of our speakers/rooms to a desired volume. This does not work properly when asking to set the volume to either level 3, 5 or 10. The other volume levels seem to work okay though, as per below list:“Hey Google volume 0” : room volume is correctly set to 0% “Hey Google volume 1” : room volume is correctly set to 10% “Hey Google volume 2” : room volume is correctly set to 20% “Hey Google volume 3” : room volume is incorrectly set to 3% (instead of 30%) “Hey Google volume 4” : room volume is correctly set to 40% “Hey Google volume 5” : room volume is incorrectly set to 5% (instead of 50%) “Hey Google volume 6” : room volume is correctly set to 60% “Hey Google volume 7” : room volume is correctly set to 70% “Hey Google volume 8” : room volume is correctly set to 80% “Hey Google volume 9” : room volume is correctly set to 90% “Hey Google volume 10” : room volume is incorrectly set to 10% (instead of

Hi. My sub will not stay connected to my playbar? it connect and play fine with the rest of my Sonos speakers? please help  best regards Kasper Mønsted 

We were five days without power.i tried to turn it on yesterday. Both speaker power up but I had issues getting them to show up on app.one speaker Play1 is now showing consistently.but our main speaker Play 5 : 2nd generation comes and goes and now is not showing on app. But it is playing a radio station. So it is playing.i do not know what to do to get it to connect to the app. my frustrations are super high. Love the speaker, hating the system 

I’ve been using the same setup for over 7 years—Playbar, Sub, and Play:1s for surround sound—without any issues. Suddenly, I can no longer connect my Play:1s or Sub to the Playbar for surround sound. Even when they briefly show as connected, they disconnect within a few minutes, and I’m forced to reset them. Oddly, each speaker works fine on its own, just not as part of the surround setup.Not sure what is going on   Any help would be appreciated  

Messages from MacOS App:searching fir your sonos system…...we need to get Sonos updated and then no updates needed, cant connect to controller.I have followed all of the support advice i.e. Sonos OS, checked / set firewall and privacy and security settings, restarted etc.Im running S2 16.5 on MacOS Sequoia 15.2 

I currently pay for Apple Music. In the middle of the album today I heard an announcer tell me what song I was listing to and it was from Apple Music.  I run the Sonos app on my phone then search up the album on Sonos using Apple Music service that is linked.  Why would Sonos ruin the experience with an ad? Who is that ad for?   Apple clearly didn’t do it because I’m paying for it already. Has this happened to anyone else?  If Sonos did it. Stop? 

Connection with my Fritz!Box Mediaserver doesn’ work. Has somebody experience with setup?

when i try to add path it wont accept. How can i identify the correct path name?
