I stitched to att AllFi router for my internet and now I cannot get the Sonos system speakers to connect to the net work I’ve gone through all of the steps several times and connected through the Ethernet but it’s notnworking. I have a speakers and all are in working order. Is there a security block issue?  thanks

I am adding my voice, again, to the many frustrated users who cannot understand the complete lack of interest from Sonos in fixing this issue. It was working in the old Sonos app, it should not be hard to fix it.

my connect amp has been temperamental, but has more or less functioned as i wanted since the initial purchase in 2018. i use it to stream music to old analog bookshelf speakers.it went beyond temperamental and stopped being recognized by the sonos app about 6 weeks ago. i’ve been fiddling around with it, on and off since then. i deleted then reinstalled the sonos app, performed a factory reset numerous times and attempted to log onto my wifi network several times. i have been able to get to the point in the sonos app where i can enter the password. i can see the correct network, i input the correct password, but sonos cannot get on the network.i have seen suggestions to make changes to my network for the sonos. i have five other devices on my network, so i am reluctant to make any router changes for the sonos.i’m thinking, that maybe, i had a lightning surge 6 weeks ago, and that maybe something on the sonos got surged and that is what is preventing it’s entrance to wifi network.this c

In the Sonos app I get AppleMusic but when selecting e.g. a song I get “No items available”.I have deleted and reinstalled the Sonos app, restarted my iPhone, reinstalled the speakers and re-authorised the app for AppleMusic (three times). What next? Does anyone have a solution please?

I have a Sonos Amp powering 4 Sonance in wall hidden speakers as well a Sonos Mini Sub.  I can add the sub to my Sonos system, but when I add the sub to my Amp it will not play along. After about 30 seconds it will say Sub not connected. I then have to remove it from the system and reinstall it, before it can be used again. If I add it to my Arc ultra, the sub works just fine.  All components are updated to latest firmware. How can I add my sub to the Sonos Amp? 

Har andre oplevet af deres Sonos Roam pludseligt ikke vil tænde, trods den oplader som den skal?

Hi, I am having an issue with YT Music, it was connected fine but the playlist wasn't sync'd and I tried removing and adding it back but now it shows no playlists and can't find ANY songs on YT Music. There are no errors, I tried unplugging the speakers, deleting the app and reinstalling it, rebooting my router and wifi, nothing works. I tried using a non premium account (just to see if it worked), it also doesn't work. I was wondering if there is a way to see logs so that I may see why it doesn't work? YT Music on my phone or computer work fine.

Recently we upgraded our wifi network. Havent had the need to use the sonos app for a bit.When I logged in, the subsequent screens were exceptionally grainy to the point I cant use the app.Deleted it and re-installed no change.Restarted the phone, no change.Am I doing something wrong, or the the whole App now flaky?TIA

I'm using Shield TV Pro with the Sonos Beam 2, recently when I stream 4k videos with Dolby digital / atmos, the sound drops/skips after 10-15 minutes of watching the video. If I pause and play it returns to normal, after 10-15 minutes it happens again.Please help. I'm using an NVIDIA Shield TV Pro connected to a TCL TV and Sonos Beam Gen 2. Recently, when streaming 4K content with Dolby Digital or Dolby Atmos, the audio starts dropping or skipping after about 10–15 minutes. If I pause and resume playback, the sound returns to normal—but the issue comes back again after another 10–15 minutes.Please help me resolve this issue. 

Good day to the Sonos Community!I can happily say that I have been influenced to buy the entire Sonos Home Theatre setup, with the Arc Ultra, Sub 4 and two of the Era 300s.Now, the room intended to have this setup is given below. I took some pictures for you to have a look:The Era 300’s will be installed somewhere on this wallApprox seating distance to the TV.Use of wide lens to show a little better the layout.So, I was wondering if you guys had any advice for the best possible placement for the Era 300s to give the best possible home theatre experience. Also, if you had any good advice on placement of the Sub 4 as well, that would be awesome. Thank you for your attention!!

I have a new Sony OLED TV (Bravia 8 ii) installed today.It seems to have a slight pink tint.  It is sitting very close to a Sonos playbase.  Could the playbase affect the colour.  I find this unlikely but need to eliminate the possibility.Derek Clements

Would be nice to add this as you could adjust multiple frequencies. I think this is essential if you compare it to other products, like Bose and Sony

I have spent over four hours on the phone via text chat and phone call with Sonos support trying to get a Sonos Connect to actually connect. It is hardwired through ethernet, everything else in my house works perfectly including all my other Sonos products, and yet their only “solution” after multiple calls was to tell me to contact my internet provider. The agent was polite but had no real understanding of the product, simply reading lines from a script with no technical insight.This is not my first attempt either. I bought the Connect four years ago and it has never worked properly. I gave Sonos another chance and they completely failed to stand behind their product. No acknowledgment that the unit might be defective, no replacement option, no escalation, just “call back again.”For a premium audio company, this level of support is unacceptable. I am truly disappointed and will not be purchasing another Sonos product.

Why do I really have to crank up the volume on my ARC listening to Bluetooth versus something right from my TV

SONOS don't seem to care that their app is awful - I'm spoken to their tech guys and changed wifi settings, which has reduced range and functions on some other items - it's still awful. It's worked properly for maybe a month in total solid since I brought my system (2xEra 300, 1 x Era 100) last February. Given that it requires the app so heavily it is not fit for purpose under the consumer rights act in the UK and I'm going to be returning all of mine. Any suggestions on something is similar quality but less crap? I’m thinking BOSE. The SONOS sound quality is good, but it’s not worth it not working 90% of the time.

I see that era 300 speakers are on sale for $100 off now, but I am concerned that after spending thousands of dollars over the years on Sonos products as to the health of the company because of their app fiasco as to whether they will be around in the future. Not sure what to do. 

I recently purchased a Marantz 7725 2 channel power amp to drive my LR mini towers. To simplify and automate the system for my wife, I intentionally chose an amp that had a 12VDC trigger input. Imagine my surprise when the Port failed to trigger the amp! Grr! I tried Sonos support and the newbie on the line didn’t even know what a trigger was, no less it’s functionality. Double grrr!I am a retired Cedía guy, so I went to this forum to do some research, and learned that the Port’s trigger can only synch 200ma, which is pretty lame IMO. I could not find a spec on the current draw on the Marantz, but I was pretty sure I knew the solution. I bought a 12VDC SPST relay (ELK 912 that I’d been using for years) that draws 40ma from the coil. The Port triggered it open and closed as expected. I used it to close the circuit of a standard wall wart (500ma) and viola! Problem solved.  Sigh…. My love/hate relationship with Sonos continues. At least I got my Music Library back (finally!!!). I was a d

I have 2 ‘five’s setup in stereo, will a sub really make that much of a difference?

I am building a new space.  I plan on having an Arc Ultra under the TV and a pair of 8” in ceiling speakers slightly behind the viewing couch. I also plan on dual sub 4s.  Is it better to have them up front on either side of the TV, or on either side of the couch, or behind the couch on either side?  As I need to plan outlet placement and some other features in advance, I can’t test this out after the room is built.

Hola, Tengo un salón en L. En la parte más estrecha de la L tengo el comedor y en la zona más ancha tengo la TV (pared opuesta), que está colocada en una zona de doble altura. Me gustaría poner un sistema Sonos para tener música en las dos zonas. Qué me recomendais? Moderator Note: Translation by Google Translate -  Hello,I have an L-shaped living room. The narrowest part of the L houses the dining area, and the wider area houses the TV (opposite the wall), which is located in a double-height area. I'd like to install a Sonos system to play music in both areas. What do you recommend?

Spotify doesnt connect to sonos system. I have an arc an sub and 2 are 100's. Its an expensive system.Its been going on for a couple of weeks. When i power off the router and turn it back on it works again til i use my tv again and im unable to reconnect to the speakers. Its been point out multiple times by the community and also on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/s/kmnD6vGcHx The lack of a response from sonos is just unheard off. Its an premium and expensive System they should fix this issue sooner than later. Same with the apple music that cant connection they obviously have an IT / IP-DNS issue and should write a statement to there users instead of this hide and seek stuff.  52 reply's on reddit with users with issues. You cant just tell me this is a local problem. So sonos get youre s*** together and please fix it Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct

I noticed that since the latest update, press and hold play now does not work on favorites. It works on everything else. Tapping once on favorites still works.

Any chance to repair it by SONOS ?Before you start to blame my network (like I’ve seen this mostly on this forum) check this :  any chance to write a firmware in normal way  or should I get rid of sonos and buy something which works …? 

HelloI use my Beam 2 and my Era 300 (a second Era 300 is planned soon) to listen to music and watch TV. However, I use them differently depending on the situation: to listen to TV, I use the system with 75% on the Beam and 25% on the Era 300. Whereas to listen to music, it's more like 55% on the Beam and 45% on the Era.Can we create profiles for this?Thanks
