Fix & Optimize

Ever since the new update I can no longer search for individual songs. When I type in a song title that brings up the correct artist but in the past there would be a section for songs and I can just go directly to the song. Instead, now I need to know what album within that artist that song belongs to.

Yet another bug in this new worthless app: when the roam is charging it is constantly seen as ‘playing’ in the background. Meaning if I listen to music in another room on other devices it keeps suggesting the charging roam as the device to send music too / play music on / connect rooms too (this need to deselect playing rooms to not join them is a massive irritating bug in a family setting!).The roam doesnt say its playing in the app. But other devices connected to it do see it as playing. As a home assistant user HA shows it playing and triggers its automations and dashboards on it. While no music actually playing on it. also explains why the battery is draining so fast probably seen the new app. It keeps the roam alive in a state of playing without playing music.. 

I understand Sonos is currently sending the audio signal to speakers as digital signal over IP, before converting it to analogue, right?But why not sending it as analogue radio signal, much like radio, or those old wireless landline phones? This could reduce latency?I'm probably missing something, but just thought it'd be interesting to address this.

Since the update to the app I am unable to add Rayo back. I just keep getting Something went wrong when trying to add the service. I have been able to add others without issue.

10 years I have had this system no problem's ever, till the new App.  My speakers are now bookends. I planed on buying more and upgrading but not from Sonos. Moderator Edit: We do not allow users to offer or sell any products (Sonos or third party).

Is anyone else having problems with the new app? Found mine to be auto updated this morning & i can't get it working at all! Doesn't connect with my speaker, grrrr

Go back to earlier app version works fine for me. Hope it will not update automatically though. Uninstall the new shitty version and then download here to install. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sonos-inc/sonos-for-android/sonos-for-android-16-1-release/sonos-16-1-android-apk-download/download/?key=f6a677f300c8d774a2c570ad65c3e0e50c4e6349

Dear all, I think the easiest way to get rid of the material which does not work to the extend brauche of the now missing feature , is to sell it back to Sonos for the entire price you paid, plus the time you wasted in setting it up etc.is here a lawyer in this community who could think of filing this is the US?thx Marc 

The key function to most people (Alarm) is missing in SONOS current non-beta update. 80.00… !!!!This calls for roll back of the update ASAP.What are SONOS doing ????????

Hi.  The github document on How to Configure Your Unifi Network for Sonos  specifically notes that STP/RSTP problems can occur when using Sonos and Unifi “when you operate both wired and wireless Sonos device in your network (even without SonosNet).”  Does this mean if your Sonos is 100% wireless, then you don’t need to use the special STP/RSTP settings discussed in the article and in many threads in this community?I ask because I used to use SonosNet with Boosts, but I recently went to 100% wireless with no Boosts and no SonosNet (on S2). But I do sometimes have issues where the Sonos App on my phone can’t “see” all my speakers, while the Sonos Mac application sees them fine. I had configured my Unifi to use STP, but now that I’m on 100% wireless, I wonder if I can use the default RSTP instead? I’m hoping that might help with my issue, but really not sure. I also may go back to SonosNet/Boosts if that will make things more stable.Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Since the app update I have lost all abilities to control my speakers. Android build number AP1A.240405.002Old app worked, new one doesn't - nothing else changed.

I have updated my Sonos app and can now not access my personal music library, which was never previously a problem. What is Sonos doing to fix this?

Hey Sonos, are you guys nuts??? Aren't alarms something your users are using everyday??? It used to be weirdly place already but now it's nowhere to be found!! How do I change my existing alarms now???  Fox this! And make their access prominent Thanks

sonos: please add back the alarm function & timer to turn a particular station off ( the 3 dots have disappeared!)

How do you set the alarm function in the new Sonos App?

Depuis l'installation de la nouvelle version de l'application sur Iphone (Version 80.00.04), j'ai cette alerte à chaque fois que j'ouvre l'application! : "Activez le bluetooth pour permettre à "sonos" de se connecter aux accessoires." Je n'ai pas de périphériques bluetooth et je n'active donc pas le bluetooth sur mon téléphone. Cela me permet également d'économiser de la batterie et cette alerte est vraiment pénible!Plus d'accès à ma liste de lecture: L'application m'indique: "La liste est vide".Plus d'alarme, plus de réglage du volume avec les boutons du téléphone...Je n'ai pas trouvé non plus comment mettre à jour la "bibliothèque musicale"...Impossible de réinstaller l'ancienne version!Merci à SONOS de résoudre rapidement ces problèmes! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Since installing the new version of the application on Iphone (Version 80.00.04), I have this alert every time I open the application! : "Activate bluetooth to

I have 6 Sonos zones through my house with 12 different Sonos products. This latest app update makes me want to throw out all of them. I’m the past, if I’m listening to something on one set of speakers, or a group, and I choose a new song to listen to, the app was smart enough to continue to use those same speakers.  Now every time I choose something new to listen to, it plays it in my Basement first until I can change it. Then it’s super slow to change. Why did you change this behavior? If someone’s listening to music on one set of speakers, just keep using that set of speakers until they choose something else. There’s no reason to always default to the first one in the list of rooms in alphabetical order. 

With the new upgrade App Sonos, my IHeart radio and Mixcloud apps don’t work anymore can you help pleasethanks in advance 

In new Android app in music library albumart is not shown anymore.How van i manually update the index of my music library in the new app? 

Updated to the new app, what a disaster, keeps dropping songs, if I adjust the volume in the app  it the volume cuts out and sometimes doesn’t come back. Songs are playing but they are not showing they are playing. WTF Sonos! If I try and do multiple rooms together, forget it. So hard to navigate around, old app was much easier,  even to use through the Spotify app sucks now, tried to call support but 80 minute wait, what’s that tell you

Just received an email from Sonos trumpeting their new ‘better than ever’ app… 😂. I’m really amazed that they would have the audacity to send this out with the current turmoil

I have an issue which is driving me up the wall - I have a pair of Era 100 speakers which worked perfectly well for the first month of their life but now I experience the right speaker not playing anything for up to 20 seconds if I skip to a new track - both on Tidal Connect and Spotify. Every single damn time. I’ve tried moving the right speaker to a different area with less potential interference (i.e. away from gadgets) but it will always cut out whenever I skip through a song or select a new one.I’ve done a bit of research and I gather that setting up a manual IP address may fix the issue. However, I can find no instructions how to do this, other than posts which say “do this, do that” without actually telling you how.Could any kind soul walk me through this please? I’m on Virgin Media and have a strong broadband speed, although I expect the service provider shouldn’t matter. I just want to know where to find the settings, which ones to click on and how to find the ip address. I do

So far with the new version of the app, when it playing music to a speaker group from my Victrola stream turntable, the new app shows no information. Before it would show that it was streaming from the turntable. Now it shows “no music / nothing is playing. This wasn’t an issue until this update.  

In response to users' complaints that alarm features are missing from the new APP, it's rumored a new device will possibly be released shortly.  Here's an image of what it may look like.  No other details are presently known. 

this cant be right ? tell me this cant be right 😅
