Fix & Optimize

Still running the old firmware and the old sonos app, for my port and play3. Luckily I have android, so I could reinstall the old app back :-) Still a very happy sonos custumer.But will have to move away eventually, because it's obvious the new app will stay crap.When I can't run the app on my phone anymore, I have no choice.Home Assistant works too, but it's not great either, for what I want. 

I am about to receive an era 100 sold my play 5 gen ones but still have two play ones I am getting conflicting messages when web searching on whether or not I can run the play ones on the gen 2 appCould someone confirm if this is possible and the process or do I need to rune two apps Thanks for any help Bob Parkinson

Hi gang,I currently have Arc Ultra, 2 x Era 300 and Sub Gen 1.I’m trying to decide if its worth upgrading to the Sub Gen 4? Having spoken to some retailers, they have said that it wont really make too much difference from a sound perspective.If theres not a tangible difference, I’m going to stick with Sub Gen 1 but wanted to hear the thoughts of the community.Thanks ER86

I am attempting to add SiriusXM to the services on the iOS Sonos app, but when attempting to, it opens to a blank screen before I can enter my credentials. This does not happen with other services like Spotify. As anyone encountered this before?

Recently took delivery of a Sonos ray which fails to connect. Contacted sonos support who said it needs to be replaced. This was on the 6th December. Have heard nothing further ? 

I’ve been using the Sonos Arc with BT for a while, and everything was working great with my surround speakers. Recently, I switched to Virgin Media and got the Hub 5 router, but now I can’t get my Sonos Arc to connect.It keeps saying the password is wrong, even though I know it’s correct. It’s been driving me crazy – why is this never simple?Has anyone had a similar issue or found a solution to get the Sonos Arc working with Virgin Media's Hub 5? Any help would be really appreciated!

Starting lthis week, I have been unable to connect to my local CBC radio channels. Is there a fix? Sometimes the channels show up on the channel list but do not connect. Other times they do not show up at all.

Why won’t Sonos allow me to run Sonos 1? I deleted Sonos 2, and reinstalled Sonos 1. I try to open the Sonos 1 app and it is forcing me to download Sonos 2 which doesn’t work well with my Sonos devices.

Afternoon, Hopefully someone can help as I am about to tear my hair out. I have a Sonos one which has worked flawlessly for a number of years. I have just upgrade my router and this is where the problems have started. I performed a factory reset on the router. Go through the pairing, it sends the chimes and connects. I then get a message saying “the device may not initially show up in your device, you need to turn the power on and off again to complete the setup”. I do that but it never reconnects. Any ideas? Thanks for reading.

My Sonos Roam product goes through the add product process, and then when it goes to the final step of connecting to my wireless network it won’t connect. My other Sonos products all connected easily to my network. Any thoughts? I did a factory reset twice. 

My neighbours were looking to buy a new speaker system for their home.  They came over the other night and I showed them my Sonos system.  At first the app wouldn’t launch on my mobile.  I deleted it and reinstalled.  It found the system.  We listened to some tracks and they liked the sound, but then it started dropping and we couldn't regain control of the music through the app. They bought a different system.  I’m stuck with this one.  Is it ever going to work properly again?  

Is there a way to deactivate the (terrible) smart shuffle feature via Spotify playlists? Or plans to release this option in a future version update?

Hello Sonos community, I am a dentist and I am building a new dental office and want to install Sonos S2 system in my clinic, about 12-15 speakers. Besides those I would like to install microphones that would allow me to call my asistants from each of the 6 operating rooms to 3-5 speakers that would be placed centrally in the hallway. The quality of the mic sound is not important, I just want to be heard. It may be a push to talk mic on the desk or wall, or better a mic that is activated without a button but when you speak close to it.Ex. I may be working in room 5 and would like to call one of my asistants to bring me something from the sterilisation room by pressing a button on the microphone on the desk and I would like my call to lower the volume of 3-5 Sonos speakers located in the hallway playing music and anounce my request. I would like to know if it is possible to connect a microphone in this way and if yes, how can I configure the microphone to the Sonos S2 system?

Projector in small basement room.  wanting to invest in soundbar (either arc or beam gen2). there's no way to put the sound bar below the projector screen as its up most of the time.   Can I mount the soundbar to the ceiling above the mounted screen?  would this distort the sound? have it the wrong direction or can I mount it to ceiling with pivots to slightly adjust toward the viewer. Thank you for you help and any guidance. 

Hi,I just got an ARC (non-ultra) with my new LC C4 TV.ARC plugged into eARC (TV) and ethernet (Comcast router home network), and 2x Era 100 speakers added as surround (wifi to Comcast router)Sometimes the surround sounds very good - but often, there are phasing/echo/pulsing sounds through the surround speakers. It seems like it occurs when a new signal is sent, like if the surrounds join in with music in the audio track… it then smooths out a bit.My guess would be that every time a surround element is sent to the speakers, they have to catch up once again and it takes a few seconds, Any help appreciated!

I can’t access the app on any device, won’t font any products and it won’t update. tried everything I can think of and it still won’t work. 

Hi community,After investigating my setup in other threads I still have some questions to get my Pro-ject turntables to work with my Sonos set…I currently have an Arc connected with 2 Sonos One as surround. My turntable is close to the Arc. I know none of these Sonos products has a compatible connector, but when I even try to use a connector AV to HDMI and connect the turntable (with a pre amp included, model T1 Evo Phono), it doesn’t work. Apart from the connector itself, is the Arc unable to retrieve and carry that signal for compatibility reasons?I thought about changing one or both of the One for Era 100 but I read somewhere that the Line In cannot be used if the actual setup is surround with the Arc, is that right? Does that mean the only option here is to buy a Port? For that price, I’d review my entire setup as it costs more than the turntable…Thank you!

I’m a senior, can’t hear tv well.    Have Bluetooth 5.3 Transmitter for TV with aptX-Adaptive & Low Latency,I want to purchase Ace headphones. Will they connect to a Bluetooth transmitter?
