Fix & Optimize

Hi,I have a small issue, my new Ikea/sonos speaker can’t play with my other speakers (One and Play:5).I can make it work on it’s own but if I try to sync it with my other sonos speakers it won’t work and show an error : “Unable to connect, Try again Later”.Do you guys have any clue on what could be the problem ?Is this by design ?Btw I tried factory Resets and unplugs. Thanks !

My iPhone and iPad apps are inconsistent. They can see the speakers but sometimes, often but not always, can’t see my music library (on a NAS) or stream from on line services. On the home page sometimes my music library is not shown under “Your Sources”; sometimes it is but I can’t then see tracks, albums, artists etc. I can always seem to run the system from my laptop. I have rebooted the router; stopped and restarted the app; made sure everything is up to date.System is as follows:Beam; Play:1; Five; Playbar; 2 Roams; Play 3; and a Boost which is wired in. System ran fine for years and I would guess the problems started a couple of months ago. Help!!!!   

I have two Sonos systems: one in the main house (composed of a stereo pair of Play:1 speakers, one Sonos One, an additional Play:1, one Play:3, a Sonos Playbar with Sub Gen2, and two Play:1 surround speakers) and one in the second home (composed of three Play:3 speakers and one Play:1). Both systems use a Sonos Boost, and the networks are configured with the same SSID and password so that I automatically connect to the available system.Until recently, both installations worked properly (even though the new app is a bit slow). However, in the second home I have noticed a marked deterioration in performance: the system has become slower, and there are frequent disconnections—both of the active service and of some speakers.In an attempt to resolve the issue, I performed a factory reset on some speakers and then tried to re-add the reset speaker. Unfortunately, the process does not complete, and I can no longer see the device in question.It is true that the network in the second house is r

Howdy guys im curious if there is a way to get equal audio from both SL's and the Arc Like for instance typical home theater receiver has an "All Channel Surround" where all speakers produce the same audio im looking for that , i love the speakers but the way the surrounds disperse audio drives me crazy. If i could get them all to play full audio for things that dont need surround sound that would be awesome.  Any help would be greatly appreciatedThank ya 

Just bought an Arc soundbar and hooked up to my Sony tv. I’m on the Sonos app and next to the TV it says Stereo pcm. This bar doesn’t seem to have much base or great sound the way I know Sonos speakers can have. I am in the Earc hdmi source just looking for advise or should I return this product. Thanks Guys

I have  a Beam and two ERA 100’s and sub-woofer in my system.  For any audio source other than TV everything is great.  But for TV the ERAs have either no sound of a very weak distorted sound  

Hello, If anyone has had a similar issue let me know; I have a Roku TV hooked up to a Sonos sound bar and they usually work great, for about three years we have had great sound with no complaints. Today, seemingly randomly, I can’t use the TV remote to increase the volume on the sound bar anymore. It will only accept inputs for decreasing the volume. I have tried the following to troubleshoot:Turned off the TV and left it off for over five minutes.  Unplugged the optical cable from the TV and left unplugged for five minutes before plugging it back in Unplugged the sound bar and left it unplugged for five minutes before reconnecting Changed the audio settings within the TV Tried a different remote that is also capable of changing the volumeIf anyone can help diagnose or resolve this issue let me know. My trust and respect for Sonos products have reached an all-time low and I cannot in good conscience suggest this product to anyone after this. 

I own and have SONOS installed on a MacBook Pro 2018.  Like most of us, went through the fiasco last year, and by late last year, THOUGHT things were looking good.  I’ve been trying to keep up with all the updates, and as of this moment, my SONOS system is not showing any new updates are available.   Yesterday, I added a few new songs from iTunes (newly purchased).  They show up, and I can play them from Apple Music.  But because I’ve not updated my music library since the purchase, SONOS can’t yet see them, so I thought I’d update my music library.  When I did, here’s what I saw and still see:When I go to the SONOS “Music Library Settings”, I see the following two locations (plus a third that I think is still working):/Users/macbookpro2018/Music/iTunes.     and/Users/macbookpro2018/Music/Media.localized.While I can’t remember how my libraries got to where they are, I CAN say they’ve worked just fine with SONOS for years (save the May 2024 update and beyond).   Oddly, I can still play

I have an arc 2- 300s and cannot true play my system am I missing something?

How do I connect Sonos and alexa

Hello community,I´ve had a bad start today: my Move 2 started blinking red (after being put in the charging base).I did the reset but even if now blinks green, I can´t find and connect it anymore. I´ve looked up already some other posts, did the login out and back in of the app. Still can´t be found. I can see a SONOS Wifi network, not sure if that hints at something.I´m grateful for any help! PS: I´m running Android on the phone and Win on the laptop. Nothing should have changed on my internet network...

I used to be able to play music on my Sonos through the Spotify app. A few weeks ago it stopped. Now although all three Sonos speakers appear in the Spotify app, when I try to connect to play music, the icon (bottom left of the screen) blinks for a few seconds and then nothing happens and the music keeps on playing on the device.Playing music in Spotify through the Sonos app works fine.Any ideas on how to fix this? 

The ArC SL is producing echoesi,occasionally when watching movies, and also during commercial breaks specifically when watching the Peacock streaming network. I have two 1’s and a sub connected to the system. Even when I turn off the 1’s and sub I still hear the echo from the soundbar. 

I have two Sonos era 100s in a stereo pair connected to one sonos sub. I have a second gen 3 sonos sub - can i add it to have dual subs?

I’m experiencing a problem with Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar and judging from the posts I found on the internet I’m not the only one.  There have been others experiencing the same or very similar issue with their Samsung, Sony and LG tv’s.My TV is Samsung QN90A.   The problem is that that Sonos does not let my TV switch away to TV speakers or other connected bluetooth earset.  After the switch is made, it temporarily succeeds and then again the sound is routed to Sonos after a few seconds.    I’m connecting over HDMI eArc output from my TV.  I have tried using Sonos cable, my own Anker high speed cable and the same thing happens.  With my Sennheiser Ambeo Plus soundbar, no such problem exists.  I can succesfully toggle between the different sound outputs on my TV.  What’s even more upseting, is that Sonos provides no power button.  So the only options are either to turn it off from the outlet or turn off CEC in the TV menu to accomplish this.

Hi, I have a sonos system S2 playbar, amp, two play 1s as stereo - all running ok. I do also recently was able to get my hands on S2 Connect Amp and I would like to use it to get my two ceiling speakers be utilized. On top of that would like to add play 3 S2 to the system. A lot of speakers but not connected they’re just not utilized, would like to put them to use. Anyone know how ? I did manage to add play 3 to the system and it allows me to group it can’t get it to stay grouped. I haven’t messed around with the connect amp. 

Sub mini not connecting.

Bonjour,Je n'en finit pas d'être déçue par l'application Sonos.Y a-t-il une solution pour que si je regarde une vidéo sur France TV ou autre, mon enceinte diffuse l'audio ?Merci 🙏

I can’t add BBC Sounds to my Sonos Era 100 set. I’ve checked country settings (UK), have updated, reset and restarted app. I can see BBC Sounds in the list, but getting an error message after approving the app on the BBC site. Any tips?! Thanks!

I have had surround set up for years. It’s stopped working however. I have reset all speakers but it will not allow me to reset up surround, I have a beam, One SL and One in the living room (although only two shown in picture). I cannot add them all to living room to create a surround again. The app is also not showing the kitchen speaker even moments after completing setup.  

Sonos Arc won't connect to my Samsung TV.  Has been working perfectly for years.  Just quit working.  I have replaced the HDMI cable running from TV to Arc HDMI connection.  Have gone into setup mode to connect the Arc to TV but when it tests the connection, it says not connected.  My Samsung TV does not have an area in sound settings to set for Arc.  It never did and I never had to do this previously.  Hoping someone can help.  I literally have spent hours trying to figure this out.

my Sonos Play:3 , i have two of them, played nicely for years, after latest firmware upgrade they show up as not registered and even resetting them three times Im not able to register them again. At the end the sonos app states that i have to contact the Support  im logged in, all other speakers working fine.  

In the iOS Sonos app, I can’t add any folders, playlists, or favorites to the Home screen. The only sections visible on Home are “Recently Played,” “Your Source,” and “Your Service.” Example 1: If I select an MP3 folder from my NAS and choose “Pin Collections to Home,” it shows as pinned, but it doesn’t appear on the Home screen.Example 2: In the YouTube Music service, if I select “Save to Sonos Favorites,” it says it’s saved, but it doesn’t show up on Home. The same issue occurs with Apple Music. Essentially, I’m stuck with just “Recently Played” on Home, with no way to customize it with playlists, favorites, folders, or albums. It’s very, very frustrating. I’m not sure if this is a known issue, but it has persisted for a long time. Details:• App build: 80.14.09 (release 20241209)• Device: iPhone 13 Pro Max

Hi allEvery time I start to watch something the volume is always set to mute. This only started happening a few months ago. Every time, there’s no sound. So I have to press volume up, then the green light displays, indicating it’s on mute, and I have to increase the volume to the desired level. When I’m navigating Plex finding a film, I don’t get the interface audio clicks. It’s so irritating, it makes me feel like things are broken. Does anyone know why this is happening?Any help is appreciated!
