Fix & Optimize

Hi all,I'm looking for feedback from users who regularly manage playlists rather than simply play music.I've been running a Sonos system for many years and, after the 2024 disastrous app launch, I stayed on the older S2 app and avoided firmware updates because playlist editing and queue management were critical to how I use Sonos.My system currently consists of:3 x Play:3 Play:5 Gen 2 Amp RoamMy music comes from:Amazon Music YouTube Music iBroadcastI often create Sonos playlists containing tracks from multiple services and regularly:Add and remove tracks Reorder playlists Edit queues Save queues back to playlistsI also make heavy use of the desktop controller because I find playlist management on a large screen much easier than on my Android phone.The reason I'm reconsidering upgrading is that without upgrading, I can’t run the desktop application on on my Windows 11 PC without updating the system.For anyone who manages Sonos in a similar way:How good is playlist editing in the current

I’ve registered my Sonos account with one email address but my Apple Music account is set up with a different email address. When I try and register Apple Music as a service in the Sonos app it fails every time. Is there a workaround?

My sonos one keeps dropping from the app.  LED is flashing red I re-assign using rj45 connection   ther wireless way wount work at all. it will be fine for a day .. then back to flashing red 

When will Sonos allow Play Dead music app to be added?

Hi,I have disabled sonoNET on my arc ultra but a wifi scan still shows it is intermittent activity on channel 165 in 5Ghz rangechecking status directly on the arc shows HT AP Mode is ON. HT Channel IEEE channel is 165. How can I disable this as this is conflicting with other wifi signlas. IP:1400/support/reviewcontents of /proc/ath_rincon/statusDebug info for INFRA mode at 17336811Mode: INFRA (station)Operating on channel 5180 IEEE channel: 36HT Channel is 5825 IEEE channel: 165HT AP mode: onRF Chains: RX:2 TX:2RF Chainmask: RX:0x03 TX:0x03Max Spatial Streams: RX:2 TX:2Noise Floor: -98 dBm (chain 0 ctl)Noise Floor: -98 dBm (chain 1 ctl)Noise Floor: 0 dBm (chain 2 ctl)Noise Floor: 0 dBm (chain 3 ctl)PHY errors since last reading/reset: 465228 Region: 1

Since the app updates I cannot connect my Play5 gen 1 to either the S1 or SONOS app. I have a mixed system with older speakers and newer ARC and Sub woofer. The other speakers are in other rooms. The 5 is the only one that gets momentarily seen in the S1 app and it automaticallty switches to the 5GZ  SONOS app and doesnt appear there either.

I have two sonos 5 2nd gen paired with my victrola turntable (sonos compatable).  Everything worked great until my cleaning lady unplugged the table.  Now my stereo sound is weak.  Like im only getting one channel.  My Jimi Hendrix cuts out depending on the panning.  Any thoughts?

Hi everyone,I've mostly been using a headset for gaming on my PS5, but I'm thinking about switching to my Sonos setup for single-player games when I don't need voice chat.For those of you who game with Sonos:Which Sonos speakers or soundbar are you using? Have you noticed any audio delay or lip-sync issues while gaming? Are there any settings that improve responsiveness or overall sound quality? Do you switch back to a headset for competitive games, or is the Sonos setup good enough for most situations?I mainly play story-driven games, so I'm looking for the most immersive experience rather than a competitive advantage. I'd be interested to hear what has worked well for others.

I have about 15 sonos devices in my system, mostly Play1’s, a Play5, and several connect:amps.  Because of their age, I have to keep them on S1, which has been totally fine.What kills me though is SonosNet.  There are a large number of nearby WAPs, and using SonosNet is just a disaster.  I’d love to connect everything via ethernet, but it is just not practical.  So, wireless it is.  I’ve created a separate 2.4Ghz only wifi network for the sonos system and have it VLAN tagged so their IP addresses are in a range distinct from everything else.  Works great, except when it doesn’t.A couple times a year we find sonos components disappearing off the system, playback being flaky, interrupted, etc.  And, sometimes our entire wifi network just goes tits up.  When this happens, I usually find that some of the sonos components have turned their SonosNet back on and somehow or another are creating massive packet collisions on the network.  So, then I have to go through the annoying process of rec

I’ve been a Sonos supporter for 15 years + but I’m totally fed up with the unreliability of it. It’s embarrassing. Have friends over and the system just drops in and out… I’m out… anyone got any other suggestions of a reliable system?

My TV is a Sony XBR-55X850D  i cannot get 5.1 surround sound with my Sonos Arc with my Sony TV.  Only Stereo. I tried everything. help!!! thanks in advance 

On Beam Gen 2 (which is set up with Sub Mini and 2 x Play:1 surrounds), when I ask Alexa to “Play 6 Music”, halfway during the response “Now Playing BBC 6 Music” the volume increases and the station music sounds much louder than I want it.Does anyone else get this and what can I do to stop it happening. It really is ridiculously loud when the volume increases.

I'm a long time Sonos user/advocate/enthusiast. I still have ZP100's running multiple rooms in my house and my CR100 is somewhere in storage. I wrote my first SMAPI server 14 years ago. I've always had an idea of what I wanted from a controller. I finally took a weekend and with the help of my buddy Claude we built something that works pretty good. Please take a look - especially if you are still on S1 - and let me know what you think.

Hello everybody.since yesterday i have missing album art on apple music. To be precise, it appears for one or two songs and then disappears for say half an hour, then again randomly appears for a couple of songs and then it’s gone again. Other services (spotify, pandora) show album art ok. And my apple music app on my iphone shows art just fine. Does anybody have the same issue? Maybe somebody know why it happens. It is actually even strange. When i play apple music in two rooms, it may show art in one room and not show it in the other.

I have a turntable currently using the Sonos port. I recently purchased the Sonos ace headphones and a BTA 30 is it possible to listen to my vinyls on my Sonos ace headphones? If so, can anyone help me? I can’t seem to get this to work

I have a Sonos Arc Ultra in a group with a sub and two Sonos One speakers. If I bought a Sonos Amp, could I add that to the group to play two more speakers, which are not Sonos speakers?I have heard this could lead to a TV audio delay of about 75 milliseconds? If this is true, can I adjust for this in the Arc Ultra's settings?

I am at a loss trying to find information.  Any help would be appreciated.  I have a multiple Sonos products in my house (no group set-up FYI), and I also have multiple Echo Dot speakers.  Alexa works on all devices both Sonos and Alexa Echo Dots.  There is one skill imparticular that is not working over the last month is Sleep Jar through Voice Commands on Sonos products, but does work on Echo products?  When I give the voice command to play or launch a particular sound on any Sonos device - the response I get is “Having Trouble accessing skill”.  This particular skill is linked in my Alexa app settings.  Since it works on Echo devices no problem - my thought is this is a Sonos issue and I downloaded the latest upgrade.  Is advice on how to fix -- my only work around has been to Airplay on the Sonos speakers, but only my phone to access not voice.

We have an ARC Ultra installed along with a SUB and AMP.  The ARC, every now and then, lowers its volume by itself to 15. We don't have a control system, just the TV. Has anyone seen this before? 

how to change the administrator on a Sonos product

So my Ubiquiti homelab has severe errrors showing.Multiple Sonos devices use same IP. Usually Beam and Sub.Tried every setting I found and thought of to no avail. Contacted Ubiquiti and their team looked at logs and said its on Sonos to rectify.  

Play 5 works fine on app, and i can get sound over headphones, but no sound true speakers. I replace some bad cups but still no sound. Then i notice one of the IC has a hole in it, Does any one know what will be the replace part markings. I have marked on  pictures, there is a five of them and they are all the same type of IC. Thank you 

I would like to request a feature request. Right now when you adjust the volume up or down on the TV, you just see a little picture of a speaker with a + or -. Would prefer to see the volume number or a bar that shows more filled as the volume goes up. More like the traditional TV displays for volume. Thank you.

This product was from startpoor battery, bugs in firmware and now stone deadthis was the last sonos product i will buythere are better alternatives :-) 

I am using the App on the iPad. Everything is wireless, and the app is updated. I have two Symfonisk speakers and one Arc.  The Arc always appears, but The speakers are not found until I reboot them. They need to be rebooted every time. I have been on the phone with Support and they have not been helpful. we have done all the rebooting speakers on my iPad, disabled the  VPN, etc.  this never used to be a problem! I can’t think of anything that changedVery frustrating. 

Just purchased an LG OLED B5. I have a slight hearing impairment and routinely listed through my Sennheiser RF 175 headphones(connected to tv through Optical).However, at times I would like to have my guests get audio from my Arc setup, connected through eARC.Is there a device that would allow both audio sources to work simultaneously?TIA
