Fix & Optimize

I’ve experienced something strange with my sub and arc speakers recently. Whilst watching TV, a loud cracking sound is emitted from my Sonos speaker, one that resembles a loose connection in a conventional speaker. If first happened with my sub two days ago then again today but on the arc. My speakers are wired using WiFi except for the arc which has an Ethernet cable. I’ve recently moved houses and thus had to redo my network connection. The shift seemed seamless and I was able to connect the tv and speakers without much of a problem. Has anyone experienced the same? 

I am no longer getting audio from my One SL surrounds or our Sub. All audio from the TV comes through the Arc only. Oddly, streaming music directly to the Living Room setup plays audio through all devices. Same with using our Port to play records. Everything works. It’s just TV audio that will not play through the 3.1 system. This only started recently. Nothing about our setup has changed. Everything is connected to the same network. Everything shows as connected in the Sonos app. Any ideas?

After the recent update, my Sonos app on my Mac, and my iPhone, has lost my music library.So I followed these instructions:https://support.sonos.com/en-gb/article/share-your-macos-music-folder-with-sonosAnd these:https://support.sonos.com/en-us/article/add-your-music-library-to-sonosAnd none of it works.The Mac Sonos app gives me ‘error 913’ after I browse to my music folder.If I try on the iOS app instead, that gives me ‘Access is denied’.I’ve set all the file sharing correctly, I’ve set permissions on the folder and drive, I’ve confirmed that it’s set to SMB sharing. I’ve even turned on guest sharing, just in case.Nothing.I changed some folder names along the path, removing spaces. Now I get a different error on the Mac app: (1001). This is getting incredibly frustrating. Can anyone help? 

Hi all, I have a new soundbar arc , gen 3 sub and an old play 1 speaker . I have the s2 app installed in my phone and have all showing on my s2 app even the play 1 . I can play music on the play 1 fine and also on the soundbar fine but they won’t play together in the group. If I try to play through the group it will play on one and if I try to select the other it says sorry can’t connect. Very odd. Should I be able to group the two speakers even through the play 1 is old ? Thanks so far 

My Play:One system chokes on all .wav and .flac files (16bit).  Audio is clipped and sporadic with lots of skipping and pausing.  .mp3 files play fine, but not these larger formats.Library is fully indexed.  The files are stored on a late model LaCie 2T volume connected via USB-C.  The files play the same way whether controlled via the Mac app or the iPhone app.Are the planned updates and fixes not complete?  is metadata causing the problems?  Any similar experience out there? Mac version 16.4.2Build S2Play:OneMac 16” MBPSonoma 14.7

When streaming YouTube all Sonos products randomly go to green and volume goes away and switches back to tv.  testing if disabiling consistent volume setting in YouTube fixes this.  Sonos support please advise.

Why will my Ray not connect to my network.  It shows Not Registered in my app, I go to register, go through the set up but it fails to connect to my network every time. 

Hi. I have an S1 system with 2 x connects and 2x connect amps. Recently our PC speakers gave up the ghost and I would like to know if there are any hard wired comptaible speakers that would allow me to use them as an output from my pc as well as sync with my S1 system and play from my Sonos app? Tall ask but if anyone will know, it will be here! Thanks in advance.

My system is no longer adding content 

Hi everyone,so I have up and running 3 Sonos One (Gen 1) speakers since forever.Today, however, I noticed that one of them does feature a different hardware-version number than the other two — 1.21.1.8-2.1 VS 1.21.1.8-2.2Given they‘re all Gen 1, shouldn‘t they all come with the same hardware-version?  Appreciate your insights! Cheers!

I have a Sonos Beam , 2 Play 1s and a mini sub in my living room . When turning on the TV the Beam works fine but the two Play speakers and the mini sub don’t put out any sound. They show as connected on the app and are all on the same strong signal wifi network . I have to disconnect the whole setup from the mains and power back on for them to start working . This is obviously not ideal . I’m at a loss as this has been happening for several months , but wasn’t an issue when the system was put in three years ago,I have an Arc system with two Play 5’s and a mini sub in the cinema room that works absolutely fine , none of the same issues . Samsung TV is connected to the beam via  HDMI eArc Any suggestions ?

I have  new album in my music library and in the Sonos’ app the album songs are not in  order how do I correct?

Since the new app was introduced, my pair of Era 100 will not stay in sync. The delay from one speaker to the other keeps increasing. After setup, withing a day when I turn them back on there is an “echo” due to delays. Within a couple of days they get even further apart in timing to where it is totally unlistenable.If I reset my router, this most often seems to fix the problem, but I don’t want to have to do a twice daily reboot of my router, nor was this necessary at all before the Sonos update to the new system.If I try to remove the stereo pair and then recreate the pair, then only one speaker will have sound in the pair.So I end up power cycling the speakers, rebooting my router, have issues with the speakers being found, then finally put them back into a stereo pair, but this is crazy. I have wasted so much time on trying to get these speakers to stay working as a stereo pair. None of the updates have made it any better.I have tried giving the speakers a fixed IP address assignme

In bluetooth mode, can a Roam be stereo paired with another Roam?In bluetooth mode, can a Move be stereo paired with another Move? Having just returned from holiday, and taken a pair of echo dots, then had the daily wrestle with the hotel wifi to get them working as a pair, I decided that bluetooth speakers that I could pair in stereo was the way to go.Having looked at the market, prices of well-reviewed brands, Megaboom for example, are similar to the Roam. Then, looking on from that, the Move then offers sound quality comparable to the Era 100, so why not use a pair of those on holiday because I can just walk out the door and there are no complicated shenanigans to set them up at a hotel, then reset them at home for integrated use. Any thoughts? ...purely on stereo pairing the same species?

Looking for guidance.  I still have a cable box through Xfinity to provide my cable service.  I have surround sound in my main room through a Yamaha receiver which is connected to my port.  However, through my kitchen, foyer, and other rooms i have a combination of Sonos 5’s and Sonos One’s.  Typically on a Sunday when NFL is on, i like to connect the main room, and tie the speakers in the kitchen and other areas of the house to hear the game i’m watching.  When the season began, i went to connect all of the speakers together, and the option in my Sonos app for “Line IN” or “TV” was gone.  I spent the next two hours on the phone with support.  We reset the port, we deleted the app from my phone and reinstalled it, nothing would get the option to connect the speakers together through the surround sound.  Regular streaming music was fine and could be played to all of the speakers.  This would elude that the port was working.  This happened to me in the past, but was resolved when an upda

After five months of using Sonos Version 80, I’m frustrated with how broken it is. Basic features like quick app connection, music search, queue management, and playback controls are unreliable.I’ve been a loyal Sonos customer with many devices, but now I’m using Bluetooth speakers instead because they work better. Please roll back to the previous app version, as the current one is unacceptable.

I setup my era 100 speakers as surround speakers with my arc bar. After setup, neither speaker has sound coming out of them.  any solutions or tips?

Hi. I have an LG 65" TV with eARC, a sonos arc soundbar, and a PS5. I have played some UHD Blu-ray movies (Logan, Thor Ragnarok), which are supposed to be Dolby Atmos, but only PCM is showing in the app. I have Dolby Atmos as preferred sound on PS5. What am I missing?Thanks for the help and support. Manny

I am trying to add a boost to my network. All my stuff is S1 and it says boost is incompatible but I have read that it can be added with S1 app. How to go about this?

I have now for several months not been able to listen to my play lists. Sonos Customer service helped me shortly to change to a less Secure connection as Sonos does not work with 5G.This made my internet very slow and in my opinion Sonos ignore their Customers and does NOT solve the problem but blame YouSee.I had YouSee Long before I bought my Sonos - only to play my YouSee play list which I was told I could do. And I have been able to do this until Sonos started their updates.  This is NOT acceptable and I do no longer renommed Sonos to anyone.  Best wishes,Søs 

[forgive the typo in the headline, can’t edit that]I setup my brand new Move 2 using the app over my gigabit mesh WiFi (so speed isn’t a factor) but when I try to play music from Spotify or Pandora on the Move 2 it cuts in and out like ‘picket fencing’.   Horribly annoying.  If I use the crappy Sonos app it doesn’t do it as much, so I believe it’s something to do with Apple AirPlay.  However, I can stream to my Bose ear buds and JBL Bluetooth speakers just fine using AirPlay so what the deal. Does Sonos want to force me to use their app?
