Fix & Optimize

So I know we are all sick of talking about this but it’s really got to fever pitch now.My on going issues are still on going with no signs of getting any better. I will just talk about my own personal issues over the last however long now which is too much to even use it anymore.  Slow app, delayed everything, takes about 10 seconds to play next chosen song that’s if it does play it, says unable to add to queue but adds it 50% of the time,  volume literally does what it wants, can’t turn off a track other than asking Alexa to turn it off, we had a house full Christmas Day and it was honestly embarrassing, safe to say nobody who was here will be rushing out for this dream set up!!!  I’ve done the usual things, reboot, wire a speaker to router but whatever I do makes no difference at all. I do think it could be my older play 1s that are causing the problem but there’s not a chance that I’m throwing any money at this for it to still be this bad! I never thought something like this would c

I’ve recently upgraded my WiFi using a Deco mesh system and so I want to try using my system without SonosNet and use it with some speakers wired and some on my WiFi. I understand the way to do this is to disable WiFi on each of the wired units. Using the app on iPhone I select “Disable WiFi”, get the message that it may take some time and then either a “Something Went Wrong” pop up or it does seem to complete the switch off. But either way it stays with WiFi enabled. Is this just me or is there a wider issue with disabling WiFi?And am I wasting my time anyway trying this experiment? My system overall works OK but at times the app is seriously laggy when trying to select music or change volume, I was curious if ditching sonosnet would make things more responsive? Cheers  System is2 x Ports wired3 x Play 1 wired2 x Play 1 Not wired.

Hi have a SONOS 1 system and a new AMP to deliver music to Bose speakers in my room. I have downgraded the AMP to Sonos 1. I play music on iTunes on my PC, and this gets into the Sonos system through my line in of the AMP. This plays without interruption on the many SONOS speakers I have, but the Bose speakers in my room drop out for a second every once in a while. How to ensure that the AMP sufficiently buffers sound for the Bose speakers, connected to the AMP?Thanks in advance for looking into this.

My room is dead silent, I keep getting this error when doing ‘quick tune’ - “something went wrong, we were unable to custom tune your arc ultra. Please try again”. Only advanced tuning works fine. I’ve tried 5 different devices including android and iOS.  I have Sonos arc ultra. Gen 4 sub, 2 x Era 300s 

I am planning to add an ARC soundbar on my living room TV. I already have 2 ERA 100 paired in that room. I understand my 2 ERA 100 will be able to play music as before and will be used as surround speakers when watching TV. How does this work? What happens if someone is watching TV and at the same time someone else in the house starts playing music in the living room ?I read I will have to unpair the 2 ERA 100 in order to add them as surround speakers. If I do that, what will happen when I want to play music in the living room?I want to make sure I understand everything before buying the ARC.

My Sonos Radio subscription includes a live streaming feed from Radio Klassik Stephansdom. The feed is apparently carried by Tune In.  Recently the feed has been dropped.  How do I restore it? 

Bonjour la communauté, Je vous explique mon problème. On m’a offert pour Noël le casque SONOS ACE, qui est un très bon produit et que j’ai testé en magasin auparavant.Je suis en possession à mon domicile, d’une playbar, d’un sub GEN1 et de 6 enceintes play 1.Hors j’ai voulu connecter, en suivant toutes les instructions, mon casque ACE à mon système, et rien n’y fait.Quelqu’un parmi vous aurait la solution, avant de retourner en magasin.D’avance merci.David. Moderator edit:Google Translate-Hello community,I'll explain my problem. I was given the SONOS ACE headset for Christmas, which is a very good product and which I tested in store before.I have at home, a playbar, a GEN1 sub and 6 play 1 speakers.However, I wanted to connect, following all the instructions, my ACE headset to my system, and nothing works.Does anyone among you have the solution, before returning to the store.Thanks in advance.David.

Trying to troubleshoot my in-laws Sonos PlayBar—not seeing it in the app. I reset the app (S1), nothing. Downloaded the newer app; didn’t see it. Plugged the Ethernet into the WiFi router, nada. Tried to reset the speaker itself by holding the play/pause and mute buttons down while I plugged it back in and the lights never changed from solid white. It hasn’t worked for him for a while—part of the problem is Verizon came in and installed a new router or something and now the optical cable is nowhere to be found. Replacing that is no problem but I should be able to connect the speaker to the local network and at least play music…  thoughts? 

With the new version of Sonos App I just can’t control my move 2 through wi-fi only with Bluetooth. Each time I try to update my speaker an error ocurres 

This has been a recurring theme over multiple posts, and with the holiday and Sonos support not available thought I’d raise this question again. I can’t believe Sonos wouldn’t consider offering extended power cables for the newer devices, similar to their older devices, but here we are, over a year after the Era releases, even with customer demand on these community message boards, and no extended power cables. Has anyone heard about when these will be available for purchase? Thanks. 

HDMI connection randomly stopped working only airplay working now. Have unplugged and restarted several times. 

I have 2 sonos devices.  We recently changed our wifi network.  When we re-linked all of our devices including sonos devices the volume control from google assistant no longer works.  You can put music on and turn it off. But all volume controls including sonos via tv will not work.  As you can imagine, all software updates have been done for sonos, google assistant already.    

Hello,I am trying to set up Amazon Alexa on my Sonos Era 100, but I am encountering an issue during the configuration process. When I try to link Alexa to my Sonos speaker, instead of being redirected to the Amazon login page as expected, I only see an informational message. I am unable to complete the login process and link my Amazon account to Sonos.

Hi, iam trying to set up a Sonos network, so that a wired play 1 is broadcasting a network for another play 1 wireless, a Move and a Move 2 also both wireless through the S2 app with iPhone. The reason for this, is that every time the 4 speakers are set up I lose 100 mgbs down load speed from my already limited 148 mgbs total speed.   Firstly is this possible secondly the support notes to do this are either dated or completely wrong, so can some direction to the correct info if it’s known.      Many thanks in advance

Sonos can’t find (any) new products. Tried to set up ERA 100 speakers by signing in to my previous S1 account. Downloaded new app for S2, but it doesn’t find any products.

I recently bought the Arc Ultra mini sub and two Era 100 speakers. I use the Era 100s as surround speakers, but will their lack of Dolby Atmos support impact the overall surround sound experience?

This is a post to try and help people with their Sonos system dropping off the WiFi network on a regular basis when everything else on the network seems ok.  I contacted Sonos and the technician solved my long term issue. It required me switching off the guest WiFi on my router which I did by logging in as administrator. Easy as that! All now works fine. Apparently my guest WiFi was using up too much bandwidth. Hope this might help. 

I have given up waiting for Sonos to resolve the album fragmentation issue and I thought I would go to the effort of correcting the tags myself to resolve the issue.On the source material the albums have the correct Artist names on each track and Album Name but “Album Artist” is blank. I tried putting “Compilation” in the Album Artist tag as some have suggested. This resolves the fragmented Album representation in Sonos but I notice that this then creates another issue; The Artist is no longer searchable (even though it is correct on each song and appears correctly in the info display).   All the Artists appear under a new “Compilation” Artist. This is sub-optimalHas anyone found a solution for the fragmented album issue that retains the ability to identify and search on each individual artist?   

Hi all looking for some help on how to get a 5.1 working (I think I know answer but would like confirm) current items:Sonos Beam Gen 1Sonos Sub Gen 2Sonos One SL (two) I tried to add two sonos era 100’s today but obviously they didn’t add to the beam gen 1 system on my tv since it only supports 2 speakers.  Question is, if get a new beam, will that solve my issues?  Will I be able to then do the 5.1 system? thoughts and insights appreciated.  thanks!

Je n'arrive pas à fusionné plusieurs enceintes des différents chambres pour avoir la même musique partout. Je ne trouve pas l'onglet "lecture en cours" sur l'application Sonos  

I’m not that computer savvy but I managed to fix my library issue. I don’t think its a Sonos issue I think its a PC issue (Windows 11). Open your music folder, right click and select properties, click on the sharing tab, click on share (not advanced sharing), in the box just type Sonos, click add, in the box below it should have added “Sonos wireless Hi Fi System, highlight that and click share. It takes a while but it finished. go back into the Sonos app and your library should pop up. Go from there. My system is working. 

Usually I could play on Spotify and my Sonos app would automatically detect it, so my current Spotify song would also appear in the Sonos App and vice versa.Since the last update, it seems Sonos doesn't recognize it anymore and both apps have parallel sessions running. This results in the Sonos speakers not being able to be controlled properly, unless I enter the Sonos app and "re-start" the music accessing through its own app. This seems to be an issue only since the last Sonos update

What is the difference between the Sonos Amp v1 and v2? I have a set of in ceiling speakers but the previous owner of my flat took the Amp so they don’t work and I don’t think I can afford a brand new V2 Amp. Would a Gen 1 Amp do the same job?
