Fix & Optimize

New generic batteries don’t seem to work ?   

I received a shipping label from the trade in program. I packaged and sent my Play 5 and it was received by Sonos 1 week ago. when should I expect to receive notification of a credit amount available to shop with?

Given the system/configuration: Room 1 with a TV/Ray and Era 100, and adjoining room 2 with a TV/Ray. Sourced from room 1’s Ray, but muted so that sound is only playing from the room 1 Era and room 2 Ray.It is awesome that Sonos supports this configuration. However it is impossible (so far as I can tell) without the Sonos app to restore this configuration when it is lost. And, even with the app, it can still take several steps (and become frustrating) to restore it exactly as described, and very challenging to train someone unfamiliar with the app (i.e. just make it work they tell me).So my question is what is the easiest way to set / restore that configuration?I have tried, for example, to use Sonos Voice (talking to the Era since the Ray’s done support voice), e.g. “hey Sonos, source room 1 ray from the TV” almost works but breaks the TV/Ray off from the original group (and starts playing the Era’s previous source on the speakers left in the broken group). 

Where are the Sonos Ace release notes? I keep getting firmware updates but no release notes in the app or the website from what I can tell.

I am looking for some help with an older Sonos system. It is a simple system with just a Sonos Connect plus a Sonos Connect Amp. All connected to a Fritzbox 7582 and a Synology DS 220+ via ethernet cables and controlled by the Sonos S1 app on Android or Windows 11. The system has always been also connected to the Wi-Fi network.My “simple” problem is that any system configurations, for example the room configuration, are erased every time the Wi-Fi is disconnected. This in not such a big deal but is simply annoying, especially as far as I remember was not a problem with earlier versions of the app.From what I have read the solution is to disconnect the Sonos from the Wi-Fi network. This should be simple to do as there is a position in the app for exactly this. But when I do this, it simply switches the Wi-Fi back on after several seconds and tells me I have to check that an ethernet cable is connected.Apparently according to some internet forums one can send a http command to the Sonos

Hi, Has anyone noticed there appears to be a bug with the Sonos app / Sonos Ace Noise Control functionality?  Selecting the noise control options with the Sonos app on Android does not change the mode on my Sonos Ace headphones.  The function can be changed directly on the headphones and reflects in the app when it changes, but it cannot be changed from within the app itself.

If you’re getting a “password incorrect” error when you’re trying to connect your SONOS product to your WIFI, below is what is likely wrong (*Spoiler alert, it is likely NOT that you entered the wrong password, accidentally copied and pasted a space into your password, or used a “tricky” special character). The culprit is most likely that your SONOS component (or app if you are a S1 user) is a model that cannot connect to your router’s current setting...BUT...you can probably do a quick setting change to your router to fix the issue. For example, my old Connect Amp running S1 needs my router to be set to 2.4 ghz and 802.11g. My new router broadcasts in both 2.4 and 5 ghz (so no issue there), but it defaults to 802.11n only. I had to access the router’s settings and switch it from 802.11n only to 802.11 n+b+g to finally get passed the dreaded “password incorrect” error. If you’re curious what WIFI mode your SONOS component is compatible with, see the following link:https://support.sonos

Hi all,I'm not sure if this issue has been reported before — I couldn’t find anything similar after searching.I’m using a Sonos Era 100 speaker for Microsoft Teams calls on my HP EliteBook 630 G10, connected via Bluetooth.The issue arises when I answer or start a call (either incoming or outgoing). While the ringing sound plays normally, once the call is connected, there is often a delay before I can hear the other person, or sometimes I hear nothing at all, regardless of how long I wait. In those cases, I have to end the call and try again.Additionally, Teams chat notification sounds are inconsistent — they play only sometimes, almost as if the speaker is in sleep mode and doesn’t always "wake up."I’ve already tried several things, including disabling Hands-Free AG Audio, perform all the updates etc. but the problem persists.I understand the Era 100 isn’t Teams-certified, and otherwise it works great (especially for music), but since I work from home, a reliable Teams experience is es

SO I have an Ultra Arc, 2 rear ERA300’s and Sub.My question is, Sonos doesn’t support DTS:X so what happens when you play DTS:X content?  

We recently purchased Polk wired speakers for our outdoor patio setup, but when we try to play sound from the tv through the speakers, the sounds comes out glitchy and cutting out. How do we get this to stop and get sound without the glitchiness. When we play music through the speakers from our Spotify or Sonos app we do not have any issues with the sound.  The sound has been run out of the tv via HDMI and optical cable, into the house and down to the basement where it is then connected to the amp.

Sounds good… except every second appears a lag or drop in volume. Happens no matter what the streaming app being used.Tried all the Sound Format settings, eARC on / off, CEC SIMPLINK on / off, changes to Auto / Passthru / PCM, changes to digital sound format MPEG/DD5.1/DD5.1+/HD ACC something / AutoProblem only goes away when output format is set to PCM. But then this is only Stereo 2.0, losing the surround etc.Haven’t tried Optical yet, because I can’t find the Beam adaptor. May need to order one onlne.Tried turning everything off 2 mins, on again [at the wall, not standby]. 

I am on version 16.1 and I have not updated the Sonos app since the major meltdown with the release in May of 2024. I have seen all sorts of posts on the web as well as within the forum but it all gets complicated to know for sure whether I can finally come out of the woods and count on Sonos to deliver.My music is ALL on my local Synology NAS. I use PLEX to select from my nearly 1,000 playlists. I am in the media/radio business so it’s all part of my deep and robust library to fit my whatever mood.  I NEVER stream using Spotify, iHeart Radio and other streaming options.  I have all the music I want and need and continue to add to my library.  If the group could confirm my questions/concerns below, I would be grateful. And if you can share any screenshots of areas showing that it’s working, that would be appreciated.Will my local library show on the latest version of Sonos? Will all my playlists currently available on my Sonos app show up on the latest Sonos version? Does selecting var

Hello - is it possible to connect my Sonos Move 2 to an existing S1 system? My current system only has S1 components (all connects). I recently purchased a Move 2 but it seems as though it cannot be setup using the S1 controller and asks to use the new Sonos app. When going to the new Sonos app I cannot add it either because I cannot join my S1 system via that app. Please let me know! 

Hi,New Sonos user here, just bought an ERA 100.  Have it all configured the way I want it, sounds great, but am having a problem with personal playlists with Spotify.  Spotify is connected just fine, I have a premium subscription, I can play anything I want through the Sonos with it using the Spotify app, BUT it seems to have difficulty finding some of my personal playlists using voice commands.If I say “Hey Sonos, play ______ playlist from Spotify” it works sometimes, but other times it ignores personal playlists with the exact name I gave and and jumps to some other playlist (not my personal one) that has a similar-but-not-the-same name.My list names are not complex.  For example, “Female Vocalists” works fine, but “Dance Music” does not.  Asking for the former results in hearing that playlist, asking for the latter results in playback of a similar playlist from somewhere else on Spotify.The interweb thinks there’s somewhere in the app one can go to manage playlists, I see that for p

Good Morning All,I have a customer who has a sonos one speaker it will randomly “lose” a room in the sonos windows app,I will have to unplug the power cable and plug it back in then the app picks up the room  the above only works for a short while eventually i will need to reset the speaker and re add it using the mobile app Could this be something to do with some kind of conflict in windows 11? 

 I've found that there isn't a lot.if battery info in the app. My speaker was at 6% and I had to go hunting for it. There's plenty of space to put the battery % here or even just display it when the speaker is  below, say, 10%. 

When I ask Alexa to play a song it says that device is offline but I can play songs using the Spotify app

I use m3u playlists created elsewhere to play my SMB shared music on Sonos.The playlists are imported/added through folder add in library.All files are on the same share, in the same folder structure.The playlists are added properly as far as I can see in the (Windows) desktop app and it plays fine when I hit shuffle until it stops randomly. I can see (on screen and in the useless help/log) that Sonos desktop app thinks the share does not exist (or the file, the wording points to the whole share) "Unable to play XX - the share //XX does not exist".It was playing just fine until this. So I hit play manually on the songs it thinks it cannot access and sometimes they play right away, sometimes Sonos keeps stating the same error for a few tries and then plays it anyway. I’ve also seen it playing a file while simultaneously saying that it cannot play it because the share does not exist.What is this? Is there any better logs than the help/error log that says almost nothing?Just to weed out s

Why do i have to appeove my YouSee account on Sonos every second day?? If i dont do it i cant play music. 

Just pulled my old pair of Play 5 Gen 1s out for a listen. They still sound so good.  Does anyone know if they are capable of playing a lossless stream from Apple Music?  I’m playing it but there’s no “lossless” logo appearing as it does in the new Sonos app when using a compatible speaker.  I found a list of Sonos devices that don’t support lossless and the Play 5 isn’t on it so I assume it can support it - I’m just unclear whether it’s actually playing lossless due to the lack of the lossless logo.  EDIT - I’ve confirmed that Deezer HiFi is supported as you can see the track format is showing as FLAC.  Here’s the list of devices from Sonos: ”Can all Sonos products stream lossless audio from Apple Music?Most Sonos products can stream lossless audio from Apple Music. However, some older products don’t support the required streaming protocol (HLSv7) and will stream audio at a lower quality. The following Sonos products won’t stream lossless audio from Apple Music:Connect (Gen 1) Connect

Hi all — hoping for some insights or a solid fix. I’m running a large Sonos setup (7x Sonos AMP, 1x Arc, 1x Sub Gen 3 unused currently) on a UniFi network with the following gear: UDM-SE USW Pro 24 PoE Multiple U6 Pro access points (Garage, Kitchen, Hallway, Master Bath) iOS devices with latest Sonos app  The SSID is unified (“LifeIsGood”) across all APs (2.4 + 5 GHz, same VLAN), and most of the Sonos AMPs are wired into the switch (see attached screenshot of MACs labeled SonosZP).    ❗Problem:  The Sonos app fails to find the system on my iPhone unless I am physically near the Kitchen AP. As soon as I roam to the office or other APs, the app shows: “No products found on LifeIsGood” Once I return to the Kitchen AP — it all comes back and works perfectly.    ✅ What I’ve checked so far:  Client Device Isolation = OFF Fast Roaming = OFF Multicast Enhancement = OFF (but willing to test ON) Multicast/Broadcast filtering = OFF Proxy ARP = OFF Same SSID for all APs (non-hidden) No VLAN separa
