Fix & Optimize

1. How can I create ad-free playlists of various genres? 2. Does Sonos still block playing downloaded music from my iPhone? 

For the second time in 5 days Pandora has stopped working.  It was playing and then stopped. Radio stations work and I can play my music library.I spent a lot of time with their chat bot and then a service representative,  which was completely unproductive (yes, my internet was working- all other sonos services were working).After the first instance, Pandora worked the following day. Anyone else having this problem? Ideas for getting Sonos to pay attention?Thank you

I Love my Sonos Ace headphones . The sound quality is so good and they are so comfortable to wear .I use them 3-4 times a week for a year, but have just notice the headphone cushion is lifting on the front.The ear cushions are fine. Are Sonos prepared to set and behind their excelllent product and repair or replace! 

I have a system consisting of an arc, a sub and two era 300 speakers .  One day they just disappeared from the app. It says not connected.  I have two other Sonos systems and they work fine.   

My current system is a older playbar, 300 stereo, play five, one and a move 2. they all connect well through the app except for the play bar. I’m not able to connect the play bar with the system when I watch TV can you help?

Whenever I look for a particular artist via the Sonos app (through Apple Music) I get “An error has occurred with Apple Music. Try again later”. On the rare occasion an artists albums show up the playlist is empty. I have re-authorized my Apple account, restarted my iPhone and Sonos app. Everything shows up in the Apple Music app. Any suggestions?

I have 2 Era 300 speakers that keep cutting in and out and just wanted to know if i can use an Aux y spliter to connect to both adapters with out having any problems

I have a new arc ultra.  I am trying to add a pair of Fives as surround speakers but they are not available when I go into the app to add surrounds.  I can see two amps that are on my system as options but the Fives are not there.   The Fives are not stereo paired and I did a factory reset on them to add them back to my system.   I can see them in the list of speakers available to play music on but just not to add.   anyone have any thoughts?

HiHoping for some advice please. My nephew signed into my Sonos Ray and now it thinks he is the main account holder and won't let me update or adjust volume. He can't remember the details he used…Factory reset my only option? Thank you for reading.

Have 10 Sonos speaker with Arc Ultra, sub and 2 rears in the living room which sound great.  But, when I stream music through the house and change volume, the arc just drops off they group.  Doesn’t happen all the time but it’s annoying.  I was told to go in to my Frame TV sound setting and turn on and off a particular setting and it seems to work for awhile but eventually comes back.  Any suggestions?

Hi everyone,I’m hoping someone has seen this before.I have a fairly large Sonos system with multiple Era 300s, Subs, Arc Ultra, Era 100s, Fives, and a Roam.One specific Era 300 is behaving very strangely:The speaker works perfectly when added to a brand-new Sonos household/system. When I add the same speaker to my main Sonos system, it does not identify properly. Sometimes it shows the correct Era 300 image, sometimes it shows a generic/ghost speaker icon. At times the product type (“Era 300”) disappears and only the room name is shown. When I open the speaker page, I don’t get the normal detailed product information/options that my other Era 300s show. Reinstalling the Sonos app did not help. Factory resetting and re-adding the speaker did not help. Renaming the room did not help. The issue only occurs in my main Sonos household.What’s confusing is that the speaker itself appears to be healthy because it works normally in a separate Sonos system.Has anyone experienced:An Era 300 showi

Hi, Today Sonos windows controller  indicated that an update was available. I tried to run it, but Smart App Control intercepted and blocked the update from completing. Message was that the publisher could not be verified. Help please.

I got to the part of the procedure that says “press the button on play:5 with the flashing light.”Do I press and hold or just press and release? And it doesn’t really feel like a button. It’s just the flashing light on top of the speaker. If I press on it I get a little tone (I think) and then I release. Should it change color? Nothing happens after that and then I get a message that say “We didn’t detect a button press” 

Sonos app is working fine on iOS devices but not on MACOs. Have tried everything recommended by Claude for over an hour. Nothing seems to work.  Keep getting error message about a firewall issue. Claude think it’s a bug with Sonos and Apple not playing nice with Local Network connection networking issues.

Hi everyone,I’m experiencing an annoying rattling noise with my Sonos Sub Gen 2. The issue happens mostly during movies, especially in low frequency scenes with deep bass. It is less noticeable with music, but still present at times.What I’ve already tried: Factory reset Trueplay tuning multiple times Moving the Sub to different locations in the room Switching connection from WiFi to Ethernet (currently wired) The rattling still occurs regardless of placement or connection method.Has anyone experienced something similar with a Gen 2? Did it turn out to be a hardware issue or was there a specific fix?

My gen1 Roam has become unresponsive. None of the buttons on top respond and the on/off button is also unresponsive and no lights come on. It is kept on the Sonos base charger when not in use (the charger plug supplies 5v, but I can’t tell if the base pad is working). If I plug a charging cable in the rear socket I get a red light at the bottom but none of the buttons respond. If it wasn’t nailed to the perch would it have fallen off?

Is it possible to run the Beam Gen 2 directly from a TV that supports digital audio?  I’ve installed in a location that does not have Wi-Fi.

Subject line says it all.  I have an OLD system: ZP80 and ZP100, on the S1 app.  I’m a super early adopter, on a super low budget.  I can get a Play:1 (used, obviously) for a good price.  My concern is that because the Play:1 seems to be compatible with both S1 and S2, adding to my otherwise purely-S1 system will break it.  Any feedback is appreciated!

Hi, for the last 3 weeks or so Sonos is constantly dropping out and losing connection. Sometimes it skips through tracks, other times it just stops playing. I also can not connect to Sonos speakers via the Spotify app. This all worked before and we haven’t changed our internet setup. Is anyone else having this problem? What can I do to fix it? 

 Sorry if this is the wrong place to postHello and good afternoon! I was curious if perhaps anyone on here may be able to assist me with an issue I ran into regarding streaming content and my Sonos play bar please. I have 2 play bars and a sub but I’ve only ever used them for music, however I purchased a new TV recently and I’d like to set up the Sonos system to work with the TV. The television is Samsung 85” model U8000F. Unfortunately for me the tv does not have a dedicated optical audio output for a cable connection to the play bar, so to overcome this obstacle I acquired a device called the Insignia audio extractor (links below)  in order to connect the play bar to the tv. The Tv does have ARC/EARC in one of the HDMI ports as well, but the extractor only supports EARC I believe. After I got everything set up I experienced difficulty with streaming content not loading/not working/strange error messages. I thought it was a Disney plus issue at first, but that wasn’t the only service

I just received a push notification on my iPhone suggesting I check out the “Hit List” on Sonos Radio.That’s odd… I’m pretty sure I had turned marketing notifications off: Does Sonos no longer honor this preference?Sonos has generally been good in the past about honoring this preference and not abusing its notification access. I’m hoping this is just a one-time oversight that will be quickly fixed.

Where can I purchase a replacement hanging strap for white Sonos Play? Also, any upcoming mounting accessories in the works?    

My old Playbar isn’t recognizing the remote on my new Hisense Model: 55QD7QF.  It worked fine with the LG tv remote that I just replaced.  I tried changing remotes with the S1 app to no avail.  Any suggestions are much appreciated.  Thanks for your time.

I’m unable to get my new Sonos sub 4 to connect to my new arc ultra. Have followed instructions, done heaps of factory resets. I can see it in the app, but just get a slow green flashing light or an orange light. Spent hours this afternoon trying to get it to work. Tried the help chat bot but it keeps going around in circles. Can’t find anything on line, most keep saying how easy it is. Do I take it back to my place of purchase and ask for a new one? 

I have a Beam 1 with a sub mini and two Play 1s set up s surrounds. I am replacing the Beam with an Arc. Do I need to remove the surround set-up before doing so?
