Fix & Optimize

Why can’t I access any podcasts? Under the podcast services in the app are Amazon, Audible and Pocket Casts.None of those allow access to any podcasts! It seems they don’t work on Spotify either. Why do these services appear on the podcast service menu?I’ve removed and reinstalled everything, signed in and out of everything.Still no access to the world’s podcasts in the Sonos app anywhere.AirPlay isn’t an option. What’s going on here? Is there a solution, or is Sonos making false promises?

I have sonos playbar. Until today i have been using with my setup and it was working. However today my system doesnt see it anymore except ethernet. Do you know why? And also if ı change my playbar with arc, will app problems solve?  

My previous post “Play & shuffle from folder view of local library still missing from Oct 28 app update” has been closed to further comments, so I’m continuing here.As the topic says, the ability to play or shuffle from the folder view of the local music library is still missing from today’s iOS version, 80.16.32, with firmware 83.1-61210.

I am a long-time Deezer user on my Sonos S1 setup.  Starting today, I am getting the error “unable to browse music service”.  All my efforts to fix the issue have been unsuccessful.  Can someone who is subscribed to the Deezer service tell me whether they can still access the service?  I need to know if this is a problem affecting me only, or whether it is a system issue. Thanks!

How have you still not read the room? Your app doesn’t work. You mistake social media for real life.  You could at least make your crapppp work. Capeesh?Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

When I try to connect a remote control the Ray via the app , in the app it almost immediately jumps to the next step stating no signal was detected. This is so fast that I do not even have time to push any button on the remote control.  anyone that has seen this before or tips how to solve this? I already restarted and even reset the Ray, still the same

I have a new broadband network and have connected the old sonos connect amp gen 1 via the Sonos S1 Controller app. So far so good.Unfortunately I made the mistake of connecting the three play 1 speakers to the new Sonos app. I am trying to downgrade them to S1 but as soon as I try to connect to the new WiFi the speaker cannot be found.This is driving me mad. All this pain because the old connect amp isn’t supported by the new app.Any suggestions for getting this downgrade to work and to get the speakers connected to the s1 controller app?

Why is this thing so bad. It lags, the UI is terrible and the features are crap. It reminds me of an old version of iTunes. Sonos you really need to take note from the likes of Spotify and Google, their apps are amazing. 

Hey!I have found a solution to the problem where my Iphone does not find the sonos system from time to time. And sometimes not at all.  The problem was that sonos have godt an IP adress like 192.168.68.55  , but the network my phone was getting from the mesh network was 232.168.xx.xxThis means that they wil not connect together.  The soultion was to turn of the 5G and airdrop, set wifi of and on again and then chek that the phone connects to 192.168. ***. ** Then i got in to the Deco app ( wifi app). And got to the advance menu. Here you want to set a permanent IP adress to your phone or device. I found the IP adress that is  on the same network as sonos (but ofcourse the last digits is diffrent) and set this up as the IP adress that i want the network to give to my phobe each time it conects to the network.  After this it has been working just fine, no more problem. ALSO! You must make sure there is no spesial symbols or “Æ, Ø, Å” in the networks name. Change this and resett wifi for

I’m playing music from a personal library on a NAS, with the music managed by the Apple Music app on an iMac.Everything set up according to instructions etc - and everything works, plays etc. So far, so good. Metadata is correctly registered.But - the play screen on the app does not show album correctly. It shows some iTunes Library XML gibberish. On the MacOS app, album is shown correctly (image following in a post below)Is there something to do to correct this? Or is it yet another thing that hasn’t quite caught up btewwen the old and the new app?PS: Could we get correct sorting of names with starting with “The” and “A” - dropping these from the sort order as it should be?Screenshot showing correct album information from the MacOS app.Moderator edit: Combined posts

Somebody raised this issue a few months ago, related to an iPhone. You have marked it answered on the basis that Sonos are aware of the problem but have no idea when it will be fixed.I have had the problem on my Android phone for a few months.Please provide an update on the problem resolution.Best wishesBob, Austria

Hi all I want to buy two Sonos Roams to set up as a stereo pair using alexa voice command in white. what the best option being compatible and without doubling up on features unnecessarily please?

I have recently upgraded my broadband service and have failed to get my Play 1 to connect wirelessly. It connects fine with an ethernet cable to my router but as soon as the cable is unplugged it disappears from the app. I have followed advice from various forums but still no luck. Most advice talks about going into “Advanced settings “ in the app but there is no advanced settings option in my iOS Sonos app. Thanks in advance for any help with this. 

Another One for the "Lip Sync" CollectionI have a Samsung S90D, an Apple TV 4K, and a Sonos Beam. I've tried every possible setting, including the pass-through option on the TV. I'm using a high-quality HDMI 2.1 cable, but nothing seems to fix the issue.At this point, I've tried everything, and my Apple TV feels useless because I simply can't tolerate the delay.Does anyone have any good ideas?

Due to power outage, speaker not working. How do I reconnect to Wi-Fi? No options on the software

We have a Sonos system with some older devices (only play on Sonos 1 app) and a newer device (uses the new Sonos app).  We used to have 2 different network routers in our house, and the 2 systems worked on different networks. now we have changed to a single network, and can’t figure out how to use the different apps to get all our devices to work. My spouse’s iPhone can’t find the older Sonos system on his app. any suggestions would be appreciated before my husband throws them all out the window. 

Can you use two Ports in the same system? Used a Port last summer to sync inside music with outside speakers using a designated receiver. Remodeled basement over the winter and connected current Port to basement system and want to keep it as part of that setup. Spring is coming and we will soon need to set up outdoors. Want to use another Port (with its own designated receiver) to stream the same music in the house outdoors. Will two Ports work together to play same music inside, upstairs, downstairs, and outside? Appreciate any feedback on this setup.

Hi, I have just got my 2nd Gen Sky Glass TV and I’m trying to get my Playbar to work.  The tv comes with an audio optical socket so I’ve connect the bar to the tv.  I need to know the correct way to get it working / connected to the tvthanksheath 

While playing music there is no issues at all, while watching my TV the sound fades in and out. I’ve checked all my wires and even changed some wires and even change TV’s. any ideas

When talking with Sonos support they want me to send in a diagnostic, BUT the diagnostic won’t provide the information they need. Support informs me “everything is fine” because I assume the app sees the devices and thinks “all is good”. However, my use case is outside of the app (seriously who uses the Sonos app for anything other than setup?). We play music and then the speaker drops, sometimes we connect and the it says it’s playing music but there is no audio. iOSOne SL Everything is up to date.How can I get sonos to understand that their app won’t give them enough information and that I am enraged by their equipment everyday?All I know is I am never recommending sonos to a friend or even my future self. 

Not sure if this has been asked before but I’m curious if I can use USB A out from a Wiim Amp to the USB C in to the Sonos Era 100s? I’d have an SVS subwoofer also hooked up to the Wiim Amp which would act as the overall brain. Inputs into the amp would be bluetooth from a peloton bike and HDMI arc from a TV. Wiim confirms USB A is an output from their amp.The scenario I’m trying to justify is keeping the Sonos Eras while using an external subwoofer since I’m unable to use them without grouping with the Sonos Amp. Anyone tried this? If so, any audio lag between the Wiim and Eras using the usb output from the Wiim and input to the Eras?

Volume shuts off after playing for a few minutes. I have one pair of outdoor Sonos speaker powered off one amp. 

Why can’t I arrange my song lists as I want???
