Fix & Optimize

Ive recently moved to college with a Sonos Play 1 speaker. It uses Eduroam so I don't think I can use that wifi channel, but it has a specific IoT wifi router for devices such as Alexa. Could I use this wifi channel, even though I have to have a specific wifi username and password that I obviously cannot put into my speaker as it has no buttons to do so. Any attempt at using the Sonos S1 app has marked it as incompatible.thank you\

I have managed to reinstall my Music Library held on a Toshiba Hard Drive so SONOS is now picking it up.However, in most cases, up to 20 copies of each album are showing on the SONOS S2 app. some copies with either no tracks listed, or some copies with a few tracks from the album , and a few different tracks on another copy!Clearly I have done something wrong!Any advice on how to correct this situation would be helpful!Kind Regards,     

When a few products are grouped all is fine all is well then a product cuts out but shows it’s playing. I remove it from the group and play and it’s ok but when regrouped no sound can be played. It’s quite frustrating and I’m really considering selling the sonos and getting another system. Too many issues. 

I have a sonos arc and other sonos speakers.Sonos arc speaker is the only one that cannot connect to my system.I have a starlink connection and i have try it to other isp connection and its working sonos arcbut to starlink connection it doesn't work.Any suggestions?

Hi, I bought 2 Era 100 a couple of months ago, and they have been cutting in and out often when in a stero pair. The primary speaker is always good, but the secondary cuts in and out frequently. Please help!  They’re connected to a 5GHZ WIFI.  

I have factory Reset all my Sonos Equipment. Recently was gifted a system from a friend who did not know how to reset everything. I have connected the Sub to the system, but the system will not recognize the Soundbar, play:1 x2 or play:5 even if I connect them with Ethernet cable 

So we have this 4 speaker setup that was working just fine and all of a sudden it stopped working. Not knowing why I just proceeded to reset everything but for every speaker the result was the same setting it up over WiFi.I can see the speaker and it also connects to the WiFi (takes long thought) and then it says it’s all done but might not show up in the list. If it doesn’t I’m supposed to unplug it and plug it back in. That is exactly what happens so when I don’t see it in my list I proceed to unplug it. Then I try to add the speaker again but this time it’s not in a reset mode. It finds the speaker just fine and tries to connect and fails. Every speaker does this and this happens every time. What is going on here?The speakers in question are 3x Play:1 and one play:5 When I connect it on ethernet i can actually set it up and even gives me the option to select the location for it. But then it’s on ethernet and as soon as I unplug it it doesn’t work anymore. So in the settings I try to

How will usb headphones play music files stored on my android phone if sonos will not access sd file location?

How about refunding purchase price of equipment that no longer works?

I have a Samsung TV. Audio set to Dolby Atmos. Shows EArc. I have Now TV uktra boost, which supports Dolby atmos. I play a show through there and the arc shows Dolby Multichannel PCM 2.0. Is this atmos?

I am having problems with my Sonos one speakers having a delay from the sound coming from the soundbar.

Suddenly the Android app just spinns and says "something went wrong". When i play from my Mac through AirPlay, everything is ok. I have restarted router, re-installed app and i see my speakers in the app, but it just spinns.  Thanks for help and advice. 

I know there has been some problems - to put it mildly - but in October 2024 is anyone else STILL getting regular drop out when playing music? I get regular moments of silence in the middle of songs and it’s REALLY frustrating that it hasn’t been sorted yet. Ive got Sonos Ones (x6) - don’t think it matters but some are One SLs I’m on app version 80.09.08 Software is on automatic updates and all speakers are up to date.  Any help would be appreciated.

This issue had been going on for several years now, and happens in two different houses with different network systems (although the networks have the same name and password for convenience).Both systems are made of several play 1s and several One SL, one also has an old playbase grouped with two play 1s. Some units are in pairs, some are standalone. In each house the system has at least one speaker connected via Ethernet, I kept wifi activated on the speakers. Both wifi are mesh systems with several repeaters (google mesh in one, different brand in the other).Whenever I try to adjust the volume or change songs with the Sonos app (android or iOS, latest version at the time of writing), it works instantly when controlling One SLs but takes 10+ seconds to react with the Play 1s, making them unusable. The same issue happens when they're directly playing from the Spotify app. If I use voice command via a Google home unit, the Play 1s react immediately, which tells me there's nothing wrong

Sonos had been doing well with a Connect:AMP unit, but then started to drop out. I unplugged the AMP and plugged it back in, and now it is off the network. The Android app I have is 80.09.04-release+20240917.6a71457I have a pair of left and right Play:1’s and they work fine. I have a Roam SL and it works fine. The Connect:AMP shows up in it, but every time a try to play something, I get “Something went wrong.”  So what went wrong? How can I find out?  

Depuis que j'ai rajouté de la musique sur mon NAS Synology, presque la moitié de ma bibliothèque est diffusée avec un son haché ou des interruptions. Si je diffuse dans une seule pièce c'est un peu mieux, pas idéal, mais si je le fais dans 2 ou 3 pièces c'est impossible alors que tout était parfait avant. La diffusion de radios ne pose aucun problème Merci! Moderator Edit: Google Translate- Since I added music to my Synology NAS, almost half of my library is playing with choppy sound or interruptions. If I broadcast in one room it's a little better, not ideal, but if I do it in 2 or 3 rooms it's impossible even though everything was perfect before. Radio broadcasting poses no problem Thanks!

Hello, I get the following error: “Your system cannot connect to content”. I tried to restart the speaker and the app, but nothing changed. It works to play from airplay, but not from the app. Please let me know what could I do.  Thank you,Stefan 

Dear Sonos team,i placed the Sub Gen 3 in the corner between the wall and the TV cabinet. The distance between the TV stand and the wall is 43.5 cm. In practice, the Sub is positioned in the center of that distance. Is the position correct? Or is it better to always keep it in that space but a little more towards the outside? So that the two acoustic ports of the sub have a little more "breath".However i am very happy with how the sub works, the bass is spectacular.Good job

So with the new app, i lost my whole system. I managed to add everything again except for the Sub. The app recognizes it on the network but crashes after 2 seconds when trying to add it, already factory resetted it. What to do?  

I have a solid red status light on ARC after update.Reboot and attempt at factory reset have the same result. 2 slow white flashes on the status light followed by the speaker light flash, this sequence loops a few times then solid red.I have tried factory reset with ethernet cable connected as well. SONOS chat support was not help after 2 hrs waiting for responses. any help please??  

Hi,Heave anybody the same problems with multible Spotify streams?It has already worked all the time since i have the sonos systems over many years.I use a premium Spotify account.Best regards.Berni

Hey guys,I have just bought a Sonos Amp and have connected my record player to it via the RCA outputs, I’m just wondering if I can also connect my cd player? Is it possible to use an HDMI cable from the HDMI output on the Amp then attach a Sonos Optical Audio Adapter which then plugs into the Optical output of the cd player?Thanks!

Yesterday I made these stupid idea to remove alexa from all of my devices and de- register them and remove them from my Amazon account. I did this because I was struggling getting alexa “dot” devices to work alongside the system like they used to. I figured I would try to troubleshoot it myself and get myself in a hole.Now I am trying to re-add all of my speakers, and only the Sonos beam and one of my Sonos‘s “one” speakers re-added alexa to them. The rest, including “move”, “arc”, other play “one”s will not add alexa.I enter into the Sonos app and click on “arc” for example, and it will be non-clickable and will say “alexa already added“. Alexa is not working on this device and it does not voice prompt. I know other users have had the same problem, but I have not seen a solution. Anyone have a solution to this? i’ll call Sonos later, but I’m not going to be home for a while so I can’t mess with the system. 

We were promised a fix in September, what is the target date for a fix? This is really bad escape defect.  We have waited over 4 months!

Today, my app tells me that I need to reauthorize the TuneIn app because account access has expired.  I follow the simple on screen process that takes me to the TuneIn website to authorise the connection but I get a message saying the pairing didn't work"Something went wrong when trying to pair to your Sonos System.Please return to the Sonos app and try again using the same credentials."Anyone know how to fix this?Thanks
