Fix & Optimize

I am trying to get Sonos Voice Control to use a specific music service profile. I have Deezer and PocketCasts set up, each with different user profiles. This post suggests I can append the profile name and ask it to play on the profile name. For example, if I have a Deezer music service with four profiles, one of the profile nicknamed “Blue” I should be able to do something like: Play Thunderstruck on BluePlay Thunderstruck on Blue’s DeezerPlay Songs by the White Stripes on Blue’s Deezer Specifying profile names isn’t resulting in a consistent experience. Can someone share any tips on how they use Sonos with multiple music service profiles?If anyone from Sonos could comment or update the voice control reference with further details on what is being parsed that would be helpful. 

From the Amazon Music Api Developer program, explaining the change from API 1.0 to new Oauth 2.0 system, still in closed Beta for development, but the basic method, if not configured, seems to automatically convert to the lowest authority-authorisation (if that makes sense) which is simply library read. You can read and play everything but cannot manage any of the following (see table below)This is determined by new/updated authorisation as defined by scopes. Unless explicitly requested, with additional scopes in the below format, Amazon Music will return the lowest authority access, the basic library:read scope. See below. Now, how can we make sure that Sonos is sending the proper requests with the proper scope? Because mine certainly isn't. I can't do anything with my library: here's what songs, when playing, look like. Can only "View Artist on Amazon" - seemingly not even album! Can't add to library, favourite/like/upvote song (or dislike/downvote), create or manage playlists, nothi

I was very pleased when Sonos reconnected me to my personal iTunes library 2 or 3 months ago. Two weekends ago I discovered that using my Samsung S23 I am unable to get out of a playlist. When the iTunes library returned I was able to jump out of a playlist to an individual artist or scroll up and down a play list. Now I am stuck in the playlist and can only navigate the playlist using the forward or backward arrow on the song playing. Is anyone else having this problem? Do you have any advice on how to fix this?

Our Sonos system comprises two Play 1 and two One speakers. We control the system from our two iPhones. If one of us dynamically links two speakers to play the same music (i.e. not using named groups), then stops playing any tracks, the other iPhone is unable to unlink those speakers and link different speakers. The previously linked speakers appear to be “sticky”. Sometimes, after waiting a few minutes, functionality returns,. It seems to me that the linking functionality, when applied from different iPhones, is flaky. Our system is up to date. We are using app build 80.14.09. We have an iPhone 11 and an iPhone 16. Is this a bug, or does anyone have a solution?Thanks

I have resisted moaning/complaining about the Sonos App but I have now reached the end of my patience, I have never been so frustrated with anything in my whole life than the so called Sonos App upgrade. I have several Sonos products which I do not know how many times I have performed a factoy reset, how many times I have removed the App from my iPhone and iPAD and it is hit and miss whether anything gets back to how I would expect technology to work in this day and age, all very disappointing. I had no problems prior to the App upgarde, I now have a Christmas Album through Sptify playing on three of my Sonos components and I have absolutely no control over them, I can’t even stop the music from playing, the only way I can stop the music playing is by switching each component off, this is just madness. So what is my issue, I have absolutely no control of my components through the App, no volume control, unable to deslect a component that is linked, unable to change the music which is p

Please could someone help me. I’ve just bought a Sonos Beam Gen 2 soundbar and thought it would be easy to set up. However, my Samsung TV  (model QE55Q60AAUXXU) seems to not have enough HDMI ports. It has two one of which is being used by my Amazon Firestick and the other by my son’s PS5). I had thought that I could free up one port by removing the PS5 HDMI from the TV and connect the PS5 directly to the soundbar and then connect the soundbar to the free HDMI port on the TV but it looks like the soundbar only has a single HDMI port itself. Should I use an HDMI splitter to resolve the problem and if so are there any recommended ones which I don’t have to physically switch every time I want to watch TV after the PS5 has been used and vice versa. Any other comments, thoughts or suggestions also gratefully received. Thank you and Happy New Year. 

Recently, my Sonos one SL has not been able to play music from my phone using AirPlay. AirPlay shows up as an option to stream music, but it crashes after six or seven seconds of attempting to play. I can play music through the Sonos app, and it seems to access my Apple Music with no trouble. The only strange issue there is that some of the playlists, which come from Apple rather than have been created by me, don’t show up. Other AirPlay devices on the network work fine.  I have re-set up the speaker through the Sonos app, and I’ve power cycled it.any thoughts as to what to do next? 

Hi, I recently bought an Era 300. I tested the Airplay feature from my Windows Desktop with the Itunes app, and from my Pixel with AirMusic. At first, it worked and I could listen music on the ERA 300, but since a few days it does not work anymore. I factory reseted the Era 300 and it still does not work. The Airplay connection seems to work as I can select the Sonos speaker from Itunes, but there is no sound coming out. Has anyone else had this problem?

My move 2 has Line in disconnected displaying. How do I reconnect it to my system? 

The Sonos app on my iPhone worked until today. It now sees my wifi but doesn’t see my system. My Sonos devices are showing up on my router as connected and Airplay still works. Deleting and reinstalling the app did nothing. Anyone have any ideas?

I have a persistent issue with getting Alexa to play music from Spotify. Frequently, I will ask it to play music, and it will announce, “Now playing XYZ” and then there will be silence. This exact same thing kept happening on the Alexa devices themselves (dot, spot, etc), but it can be fixed by unplugging them and plugging them back in. For the Sonos devices, I cannot figure out a method of resetting it in the same way. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Spotify skill doesn’t appear to work, neither does turning the device off and back on again. Any ideas? 

My Ray Soundbar and the tv sound are not synced.At first it seemed the Soundbar worked well, but now the tv sound is there as well but not in sync with the Soundbar. How can this be remedied, please?Forgot to say, TV is SamsungModerator edit: combined posts

Are Sonos Voice Services available in Spanish (Spain) for Roam 2?

I’ve noticed the last few months that my Sonos system is lagging big time. I press pause or skip and it can take a full minute before the system will respond and actually pause or skip the song. It also no longer displays the song playing on my Lock Screen. I’ve tried re-starting the system, but that hasn’t helped. Also, my Wifi signal is very strong. Any ideas?

I am trying/hoping to set up a new Arc Ultra on a Samsung TV, so the TV remote operates the TV volume automatically.  The Samsung TV is a bit older, so it does not have an ARC HDMI port.  So I purchased the optical adapter to set up the Arc.  I switched to “external speakers” on the TV, but the TV remote volume is not talking to the Arc.  Is there anything that can be done about this?  I don’t want to have to use the app to control the volume. Is there a stand alone remote I can purchase or is there something else I can look into that would make the TV and the Arc work together?

I have 2 play 3s set up as a stereo pair with a gen 2 sub (grouped as “office”). When I play music directly to the play 3s they work fine. If I add groups from the play 3s it works. If I start music in another group and try to add the play 3s (office), only the sub works. Have tried deleting and re-adding several times, firmware is up to date. Using Eero router with a mesh node in the office. System is set up via wifi.

Hello everyone,Recently I had an issue with my Sonos One. I had « vibration » sound.I opened the Sonos and I found at the back of it this little thing was not fixed anymore (compare to my other one Sonos). That’s why I had this « vibration sound ».  I fixed it with some glue but I don’t think it’s the best solution. I would like to buy this little piece but I don’t know the name of it. And where to find it? AliExpress?Thanks! 

My beam is all connected to new RV, in Arc port, app up to date and connected, showing as tv on app but still no sound ? Double checked everything done as should . What’s happening ? 

Just purchase a $5,000 entertainment system. When I try to access mny Sirius account thru Sonos the channels are all greyed over. I see several threads have been opened re this issue so I know I am not alone. What is really bothering me is Sonos enginers blame Sirius & vice versa! Also, it appears this issue has been brought to Sonos attention quite some time ago… Shame on you Sonos for not resolving an issue so many customers have brought to ligh!!!!!!!

Is anyone else having issues having to unplug/ reboot there entire system every time you use Sonos mine too the set is echoing a speeker is behind, after unplugging it and restarting it it’s fine for about a half hour then same issue, tried having music through the whole house for holding gatherings and it was cutting in and out making silence very awkward. I was just ready to order another set with there holiday sale but decided not to purchase anything else from them. Sad I really use to like this system. 

I can’t get my Amp to autoplay from the turntable. I have tried tweaking the setting a bit, and am pretty sure I’m doing everything correctly, but it doesn’t seem to detect the turntable once I play a record. My setup -- I have a phono preamp (from Parasound).  No on / off button on the preamp.  In my settings I have Line In autoplay on, Source Name = Turntable, Source Level 10 (High).  It never switches to the turntable when I put on a record.   I’m wondering if the Phono Preamp is always sending some signal since it’s always on, so it can’t detect the change of the record.  Unfortunately there isn’t a way for me to turn off the preamp that I’m aware of.  Thoughts? Loading the app to switch to the turntable is pretty annoying.  I know its only a few clicks, but it’s pretty anti-thetical to the goal of listening to a record.  Also, it makes it hard for my family to operate if I’m not around.

My sonos beam does not show in the sonos app. I have tried resetting. Factory reset.  Unplugging router ect 

Can any of the Sonos portable speakers work with the Ultra soundbar to create surround sound? Unfortunately I don’t have any available power sockets for fixed rear speakers.

Hi Everyone,i just picked up a Sonos ARC and i have a Samsung Qn90a which does has a earc port but this is breaking my head. I have Direct tv to a HDMI port on my tv & sonos ARC to my tv using earc port and i have really bad lip sync on the tv if i enable Dolby audio on direct tv box.  If I go from Direct to Sonos with Dolby audio enabled the lip sync is gone but I lose all audio from the internal apps on tv, disney, hulu, netflix and what not. If I use the 4K Arcana to use on my direct tv box can i still get audio from my internal apps on the tv?
