Fix & Optimize

I bought an era 100 last week Alexa works quite correctly on it simply when I ask it to start the radio it tells me that it is starting the radio live and then nothing happens. Same, I ask her to put music on Spotify and she tells me that I must first activate the skill for Sonos Era 100 from my Alexa application and ask it to detect devices. except it works on my sonos beam gen 2 I reset my era 100 delete t put back the sonos delete skill and put back the alexa service but nothing does... what should I do? THANKS

I have created a diagnostic for this issue.Kitchen and Lounge are grouped and were playing then Lounge stopped.It is still showing as playing but there is no sound coming from the speakers.

Hi there,I cannot believe I have to ask this but here goes.I have a Roam 2 sitting in Taipei awaiting customs clearance, DHL have emailed me and asked for detailed technical information about the Roam 2, specifically the Wi-Fi operating range and the Bluetooth strength. Is there a technical specifications document I can quote from so that I can get my speaker?Thanks very much in advance. 

Been watching all the back and forth since May, but my speakers still aren’t syncing as they used to do. Is a 10 second lag to be expected now, or is it on a long slide to be fixed sometime later this year?

I recently moved house and can add sonos single speakers but my beam doesn’t connect

Recently my Beam 2 has been stopping playing sound and the white light on tops flashes for a short period, then it stops flashing and sound returns. It has been doing this daily for the past week.I’ve checked all cable connections, source is an Apple TV and have used it’s Check HDMI connection feature which reports that “Your HDMI connection looks good” Any ideas? Thanks, Greg

Since acquiring a Roam 2, I have it in the bathroom and connect it via groups to a stereo pair in the man bedroom… So I thought I’d create a pre-defined group called Showertime with the roam and stereo pair so that I can more quickly group.However… It doesn’t seem to work as expected (ignoring the annoying amount of swiping in the new app...). So on this screen I effectively have 2 predefined groups showing, Everywhere and Showertime. But, if the damned app is not on one of the rooms in the group Shower, when. press Shower, it adds shower to the room selected instead of changing the selection to what is in Shower… But, if I select Everywhere, which does the obvious, and then press Shower, it selects just the rooms in the group Shower, which is what I’d expect normally.. Is that how it’s supposed to work? Doesn’t seem very intuitive? 

My speaker flashes green & white but when I press the button it does nothing, 

Hola, cuento con un sistema Sonos que funcionaba perfectamente desde que lo instale, pero lleva unos días en los que la APP da error y se desconectan los altavoces. Desde el propio soporte técnico de Sonos, no saben dar una solución. Agradezco si alguien puede ayudarme. Gracias  Moderator edit:Google Translate-Hello, I have a Sonos system that worked perfectly since I installed it, but for a few days now the APP has been giving an error and the speakers have been disconnected. From Sonos technical support itself, they don't know how to give a solution. I would appreciate it if someone could help me. Thanks.

We had a Bose 48 Lifestyle system now disconnected but  the in ceiling speakers remain in 4 rooms. Bought a Sonos amp to connect to the kitchen speakers and it works great. Loathe to buy 3 more Sonos amps for the other rooms. Is there another way to connect them all up through the one Sonos amp?

I recently changed broadband provider, since when the voice control on my Sonos 1 does not fully respond to commands. Eg if I ask it, via Alexa, to play Radio 4 is says ' playing Radio 4' but nothing happens. Advice please 

I have a fresh install of two era 100 in stereo mode and a sub mini. Everything worked fine during installation including all updates.But: most of the time there is no button/option to run trueplay (Android app). Sometimes it magically appears and if I start it, it says "an error occured - please try again".The only way I got trueplay to work was by uninstalling the sub mini.1. any hints, how to run it with sub mini?2. does it make sense to run it without sub mini and the add the sub again? Thx for any help,Alex

HiMy Sonos one is experiencing sudden volume drops/muffle when a loud part comes in a song. The app still shows 100% volume. Lowering and increasing volume to 100% again fixes the issue for a few seconds.Diagnostics number ***********Moderator edit: Diagnostics number recorded and removed

One hour before a party and the Sonos App no longer finds the Amp or Beam. Unplugged everything. Does anyone have any bright ideas. All my reservation about this system is coming to fruition.

Hi all,  I have a Arc soundbar, two Era 300 and a Sub Gen 3, I feel missing something in front like no power or big sound, is it a good idea add one or two Sonos Five in front and is it possible ? Thanks for your advice.  

I noticed that Sonos S2 app 8.07.05 running on Android 13 UI 5.1 smartphone sometimes stops and exit after being launched without no apparent reasons. Requiring to clean app cache data in order to have it working again.

Why does an “unable to load content” error message constantly appear in the app under my Sonos Favorites and My Stations Pinned Collection? Also since updating the app a few months ago one of the Jazz Groove stations I listen to every night before falling asleep can no longer be accessed from Recently Played. The only way I can listen to the station is to access it from Jazzgroove under My Services. What’s going on here?

Hi, We've moved and landed on what will be our placement for our TV, couch and two chairs. The TV is perpendicular to the seating, and while the couch is up against the wall the chairs are not (there is a space of about 5 feet between chairs and the wall).  We have a beam which will go beneath the TV but where to place our play:1:s for surround sound? I can't think of a great solution. The poorly drawn sketch shows where I think is the most likely. The speakers om the red X:s. Any better solutions? 

We've been adding Sonos to the house regularly, most recently an Amp in the living room connected to our Victrola turntable and powering two home theater bookshelf speakers. My wife recently feel in love with the sound and I'd like to expand the living room, still using Sonos.The first picture is my current setup. It's a bit unique given the items installed, but it all works flawlessly. I want to remove the soundbar/sub from the setup and replace it with a pair of architectural speakers, sub + one more amp (already have the amp) to use as a home theater setup (and she can use to play music, records, or watch tv/movies on).However, as you can see, because of the other items (namely the hue sync box and the headset), I've now complicated the setup ( i'd like to retain both, as I use the headset for gaming and the strip adds some immersion to our viewing).I am looking at an OREI matrix, using the input from the sync box (which captures and passes thru the sources), which would then split

I’ve got an unusual issue which has started over the last few weeks.The Sonos in my bedroom (Wired Sonos Amp S2) when playing BBC sounds keeps dropping out - sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes every 1 minute. The stream sometimes recovers after a 5 seconds, other times it simply stops.This morning, when I played the same stream via my desktop App, it actually has given me a more useful error message (than I got from the App) stating “song not encoded properly” ?However, if I play BBC Sounds via my mobile or desktop, it plays perfectly.I’ve done the normal “reboot everything” including internet.I’ve also setup continual PINGs from my desktop to the Sonos in question (just in case its somehow having connection issues) and to the Internet (just in case my Internet is failing). Everything shows a constant connection. Obviously Sonos buffers the audio stream anyway, so the odd packet loss should not impact it (if I stop the internet it takes around 25 seconds before the radio actually st

Hi, I work from home as a call centre agent and use my Sonos five stereopair every single day. Hi, I work from home as a call centre agent and use my Sonos five stereopair every single day. Up until the app update, I used to have it set at 3% which was perfect. Just enough noise in the background, but not too loud that it became distracting whilst taking calls. Since the update however, one percent is way louder than even 3% was before the update took place.I've tried other products in the house and they all seem fine, it is just this pair of fives.  I've tried other products in the house and they all seem fine, it is just this pair of fives. We have another five in the dining room which is connected to a mixing desk through a line in cable, and a one SL in the kitchen which, at one percent, is way quieter than the stereo pair in the front room where I work.  is way quieter than the stereo pair in the front room where I work. Any advice please? 

Currently both my Sonos 5 Gen 1s are working well with S1 on iPad. Wondering if I can install the Sonos S1 for windows and also control the speakers? Will it conflict and break anything?

Currently with the imminent release of IOS 18 apple has made available the possibility of listening to the dolby atmos format via AirPlay 2 pre for third-party manufacturers.
