Fix & Optimize

I have a Sony XR-65X90CJ, Playbar/5.1 setup, Xfinity X1 cable box with the XR15 V2 UQ remote. I am using the S2 app and system as of now.   I have set up the XR15 remote as the remote for the Sonos system, but it is not working correctly.  And now, in the S2 app, I can’t even find the place where I originally set up the remote (this link: https://support.sonos.com/en-us/article/control-sonos-home-theater-with-your-tv-remote - does not match what I see in my S2 app).   So 1) I can’t seem to disconnect the remote and try again.  2) FYI - I am connected via optical, set to PCM (which on this TV is always fixed).  I have the TV output set to max. The TV speaker are off and the output is set to home theater.When I lower or raise the volume on the TV using the Xfinity - the numbers on the TV go up and down - sometimes it changes the volume, sometimes not.  I often have to go into the Sonos app and use the volume slider which also responds in odd increments and weirdly out of synch with the n

I would like to change the default alarm or timer notifications if possible. Is that configurable in Sonos and if so how do I do that? Thx

Hi guys,anyone know how to remove old Sonos products from the Sonos app ?I’ve factory reset the devices and they do not show on the pc software anymore only still vision the app. any ideas ?

I am trying to connect Soundcloud to my Sonos system. Once I have chosen to add Soundcloud and logged in, I get to an activation screen where I am asked to “Enter the code from the device you are trying to activate to sign in. This code will refresh after 5 minutes.”I do not see an activation code anywhere (doesn’t pop up on the phone, the Sonos app, or by email). Any ideas about how I can complete this process?

Hii I have a pair of 5 Gen 1 speakers which were fantastic and I still think of ways to do so. Could I take an analogue output from the Sonos Amp into the aux socket on the 5s (with the correct cable!) and use the amp to divert sound and control the volume controlled via the gen 2 app? It makes sense to me but I’m sure Sonos have a block for it. 

As of this morning, the microphone on the Sonos Beam is not responding to input. The light is white, but doesn’t blink or dim when I say “Alexa” or “Hey Sonos”. I can switch the microphone on and off manually by touching the button. I’ve unplugged it, waited 30 seconds, and plugged it back in. The Sonos app on my iPhone shows everything is connected and working. I also tried uninstalling and re-installing Alexa on the Beam, but no joy. I installed Sonos voice control on one of the Era 100s, and that works as expected. Any assistance will be appreciated.

I've just bought a beam gen 2 and set up the google assistant but when I ask it to play music it tells me "sorry it looks like you have not set up your account on this media service provider yet"Spotify works if I connect through the Spotify app.  Can anyone help?

I used to be able to set the alarm to access the line in. I have a tuner component hooked up to my system, and it is normally more stable than streaming. Now, the alarm can only access Sonos chime or stream music.

I am unable to adjust the volume on individual speakers when I have a number of speakers linked

Hey Smart People!I've just pre-ordered the ARC Ultra, which I'd like to use with two ERA300 in surround sound. My problem is that the video comes from a video-projector (Hisence C1) which is in the back, on the same wall as the ERA300s, 5 meters from the soundbar (and the screen) with no possibility of pulling an HDMI cable between the two.Is there a solution to make all this work in home-theatre mode? Ideally, I'd like to be able to enjoy Dolby Atmos, but at the very least, I'd like the surrounds to be active as surrounds, and not just speakers rocking the same stream as the ARC Ultra.

Hello. It seems like many on here, for some years I’ve been been happily playing Amazon Music on my 2 Sonos Ones and Era100. I could ask it to play a playlist, and it would continuously play till I asked it to stop. About 2-3 weeks ago it started playing a playlist but then stopped after the first track. Soon after that it stopped playing any music requested by Alexa. I can still request Alexa to do other things e.g. weather forecast, set thermostat, lights etc but as for music, nada.I’ve tried some of the useful advice I’ve found on here, e.g. re-authorizing Sonos to play Music etc, but am a bit nervous about wiping out the few features I still have if I de-install everything. At the moment it feels a bit like I have one expensive Bluetooth speaker and 2 paper weights! Any advice (preferably at idiot level!) would be much appreciated.Regards Steve

Hi CommunityI am using Beam which is connected vie ARC to my Sony Bravia VH21 (Google TV OS) and Google Home for my smart-home (both Sonos and the TV connected to Google Home).In the Google Home app, I can see two devices for Beam:Sonos Beam - works well.  Sonos Beam TV Control - it constantly appears as offline. In the past, it used to be in online status, which I could use to switch-on the TV (via ARC). I have been trying to fix this and search for articles about the problem but can’t find anything. Can anyone share advise on how use Beam and ARC connection in order to switch on the TV?Many thanks

Recently, Sonos plays but intermittently, missing many tracks.  I use the app on a Windows 11 PC. I’ve checked that my subscription to the streaming serve (Deezer) is up to date.  I have 2 Sonos Play 1s.Is there anything I should do before uninstalling and reinstalling the software, a tedious and not always successful process.

Good day to all !I posted another topic when, once upon a time, my 2 Sonos Connect were not able anymore to access the local music library, hosted on a NAS. Many people told me about the SMB1 protocol when I specified from the beginning that I a using SMB2 only since more than 5 or 8 years now.Of course, both of them used to work very well before that. The known issue was coming from a Sonos update when they released their headset and I have seen that many, many people were very upset by that.One day, several weeks later, a new Sonos update made be re-abled to access to this library, but I had to delete, then recreate it.So, today, I have a room that works very well, the Sonos Connect plays all the music tracks I want… but not the other one.Both are on the same Wi-Fi router / network, but the one in the second room refuses to work and I get an ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED message when I try to play something locally from either Phonos or Sonos Controller or the Sonos Android App. It cannot acce

I have my Sonos Play:1 configured to play an alarm at 6:30 am every weekday. The alarm is set to shuffle a private playlist from Spotify. It worked fine for a few days, but now I can never get it to work, it always plays chime instead. I have no connection issues to the speaker when playing music normally.I have a diagnostics report from me just testing the alarm at 5:29 pm today. **********Moderator edit: diagnostics number recorded and removed

True play won’t set up with new Arc

I have the Arc SL, 2 One SLs, and a sub setup as my surround system. They have all worked flawlessly until today. The lights on the Ones and the Sub started blinking as if they lost power and now they no longer play sound. App shows them all as connected and running the current updates. I have removed and added them back to the network with no results. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Wondering, do Sonos swap my Sonos Arc to New Sonos Arc Ultra if  add extra money covering difference? or its only option to sell my one somewhere else, keeping in mind my one is in excellent condition inc. original package. 

I have 2 Move speakers and two Era 100’s. Both sets are used as stereo pair. Is that the best way to have them? Do I need a subwoofer to go with these 4 speakers?

I have Sonos now many years and all of a sudden, the Alarm clock does not work anymore.I plugged and unplugged everything like you can read this everywhere - no success.Tried to reset the WIFI but the answer is always: can not find a device. This is strange as I can turn on the radio without any problems and if I would not have WIFI, the radio would not play.What else can I try to get the ALARM working again?

Related to this issue, but none of the proposed solution helped me with my symfonisk speakers. It helped shortly with a Sonos One SL, but in the end I had to remove it fully from my router and do a full factory reset to get it to work..  But I still have the issue with my Symfonisk Speakers, I have two lamps that are connected as stereo, where the volume slider is missing when they are a part of a group. I can also not send music directly to them to play standalone but I’m able to put music on another speaker and then add the symfonisk the that group to get them to play.. Edit: It seems that my Symfonisk Højtalere, is in a room called that, but when I go in to change their room name it’s just empty, if I set a value it doesn’t change.  

I have been struggling for some time to use this disastrous update to the Sonos App (Date typed 20 July 2024). It was installed on my phone and tablet automatically without any warnings nor ability to reload the old, working, app.The app ceased to work properly on my Android tablet and phone:No playlists No ability to create a queue Occasionally crashes Loses my system every couple odf days Regularly loses my library of NAS stored MP3s regularly and requires the app to be deleted and reinstalled and much else besides...A total disaster. I have thousands of pounds invested in my collection of MP3s and now unable to reliably access them and my playlists created over many years invisible to the new app.I can still make the system work using my windows desktop PC (I have refused to update that app.) But this is very inconvenient and a way of working I didn't sign up for it nor pay thousands of pounds for the speakers to only work this way.Now since 19 July 2024 the app on Android starts th

Why is the New App Worse than the old one???I thought I was the only person struggling with the new updated App until I logged on here and seen other forums, with so many complaining about the same thing, not being able to control their Sonos speakers, what on earth is going on? What are Sonos doing about this? I’ve spent £1000s on speakers throughout my home and no have no way of simply selecting a speaker/room and playing music from it, instead in turns into a whole saga of me wasting time trying to navigate a way to get anything to play anywhere.  I’m yet to see any response for Sonos providing an update on what they are doing about this, apart from reset your Wi-Fi. Unacceptable…SONOS Sort This Out, we’ve paid good money for speakers we can no longer control. 

Anyone know if the Arc wall mount will be compatible with the Ultra. I really don't fancy drilling more holes in my wall. Hopefully the existing mount will work. 

I upgraded to Sonos from a speaker switch/amp and iPhone setup - which I am woefully regretting.We have a Sonos Amp with 6 satellite speakers, as well as two Sonos One speakers inside a 2000 square foot building on one floor - and, of course, nothing works consistently for longer than a few hours at a time. We stream Apple Music and use a single playlist on shuffle.Looking for input on another solution perhaps with an iPod shuffle or old iPhone with MP3 files on it. The Sonos equipment can’t seem to handle streaming without a half dozen disconnection issues every day, so I’m hoping someone has found an old school way of listening to music on this craptastic system.
