Good evening, I’m adding artists to my favorites in the Sonos app from Qobuz, but the artwork and names have nothing to do with the artist. What should I do?Philippe

I don't know why Sonos didn't design the Ace to operate just like any other Sonos speaker in my network. It's so disappointing! Fix this Sonos! 

Hi,new feature submission:with more and more portable speakers, headphones and truly wireless devices in Sonos’ lineup it would be really nice to use the app as a separate streaming device with mobile data on the go. The devices would better justify their price tags and Sonos would be probably the first with such feature on the market, meanwhile still locking it to Sonos hardware.let me know if you need more thoughts on the implementation.cheers!

I have had a Sonos system since 2019.  Started with two One SL speakers and a bridge to connect a Denon receiver and Polk Audio speakers.  Over the years I’ve abandoned the bridge because it was neither reliable or easy to use.  I’ve added two more One SL’s, a Move, a Move 2, a One, and a Play, so now 8 speakers. I stream music off Apple Music.  In the past that was reliable and enjoyable.  A couple years ago Sonos updated their App and I went through several months of buffering issues.    Eventually, after several hours with phone support, we connected an Ethernet cable to one SL speaker and things sorted out.  About a month ago, my system decided buffering was preferable to playing music.  Sonos Tech support said delete the Ethernet cable and reboot speakers and mesh network.  I did, the buffering persisted. Deco support said their X55 system supports 2.4 and 5 GHz broadband.  They walked me through setting up a network that is only on 2.4 GHz and connecting all the Sonos speakers to

Hey everyone, Just wanted to share an architectural tip that might save some of you a massive network headache. My strong advice is to give all of your Sonos devices a fixed/reserved IP address inside your DHCP server (focused on IPv4, I haven’t audited IPv6 for this behavior).I was recently working on a custom backend script to audit vacant IP addresses inside my home DHCP range, when I realized a major flaw: several of my Sonos speakers did not register as online or leased, nor did they appear anywhere in my firewall’s active ARP table.Because they were completely invisible to the router, my DHCP server could have easily assigned their IP addresses to other clients (laptops, phones, smart home tech), creating an immediate IP conflict.The short story on why this happens:When you group Sonos speakers together into a stereo pair or a surround sound setup, they stop acting like traditional Wi-Fi clients. The master unit (e.g., your soundbar) creates its own private Layer 2 wireless mesh

HI there!I just got a brand new ROAM SL from my uncle.But when tried to set up the speaker there are problems.First when put my charger on (the official charger),the charging indicator blinks red light ,no orange light and a white led next to the Sonos logo glowing,when I unplug the charger the led goes off and no matter how long I press the power button there’s nothing happen. I googled this problem it says there is something wrong with the battery.Should I just change a battery?Second,when I tired to connect to the app it said your speaker needs an update so that you can use it,but it keeps showing the error code 1016,I tried to change a different WiFi but the problem was still there.

I'm very frustrated waiting for a feature of the latest update provides to be activated, checking a couple times a day in hopes of seeing it. That got me thinking of a feature that would be nice. Can we please have a placeholder for the pending features in each update? Nothing fancy needed, even just the controller option present but faded would let us know the App update was applied and we are just waiting on the feature activation to happen for us. Appending a "Pending" or "Coming Soon" would be nice too.Maybe on the update pop-up add a line about feature activations pending? That might lower the confusion about why other users are seeing things the user can't see, even though the update pop-up says the system is fully updated.

From yesteday Soundcloud service is broken in my S1 setup. Files not encoded properly .. again.. guess its happening to more than me..

Hi all. First time poster.  I have setup a stereo pair of One Gen 2’s and a sub mini in the Living Room and identified the group as ‘Living Room - Sonos’.  While Spotify on my android phone identifies the group as ‘Living Room - Sonos’ and plays music through both speakers, the app I am using (Hi-Fi Cast) only sees the group as separate devices. If I select the right speaker, sound comes out of it, and only it. Select the left speaker and the song won’t play. I have recreated the group a couple of times but still end up with the same issue. Weirdly, if I use the Spotify app on my phone, the music plays through both speakers, and if I close it and then use Hi-Fi app, while it sees the devices still as separate entities, it will play music from both speakers. As I said, Weird. The problem returns if I select the other Sonos device. A pic of the Hi-Fi devices tab is attached. I am sure there is something fundamental I am getting wrong with the setup. Appreciate advice on how this might be

Reporting a bug here.  Amazon stations can be played from the station lists, but not from favorites.  When playing from favorites, it generates a “unable to play content” error, followed by a “something went wrong” error.  This happens on android and windows.  Again, the stations play when played direction from the station list.

Hello,I used to be able to listen to the last two weeks of archived music from KCSM on Spinitron using the “Stream What You Hear” app on Windows 10 via TuneIn.But now, for reasons I cannot divine, I can no longer do so.I have re-installed the app. No luck. I have checked the KCSM streaming URL and it is unchanged from what I originally had.I can listen to the Spinitron archive on my computer speakers. But I cannot now find a way to have that same signal route to the Sonos TuneIn--which I used to be able to do for years!I am baffled and out of ideas.Any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated.Thank you.Matteo

When I load a user created Apple Music playlist the order of the tracks in the playlist shown in Apple Music does not match the order of the tracks in the Sonos queue.  Not by a long shot.The playlist was sorted by Artist in Apple Music. 

How do you power on the sub? Just plug it in?

if you’ve had your Sonos and like to curate hundreds of songs that you’ve probably running to this problem, no matter what, eventually your playlist is invalidated. some songs will work some songs won’t, no rhyme to reason. Only that here you again having the curate yet another playlist of hundreds of songs.  I’ve seen this question raised in the community of 1000 times with 1000 solutions from customer support none of Which would’ve ever worked for any individual out there.  If this is happening to you, my guess is you are curated your playlist through the Sonos app itself. And that’s where the problem always has been. Providers like SoundCloud Spotify they often move the backend Details where music is streaming from Cyber space. Sonos is only able to take a static picture that will not remain for very long as these are moved randomly By all these music providers.  To correct this issue so that you don’t have to continuously create new playlist create your playlist through the app its

I have a surround set up using Arc and two 300’s as rears. One of them makes this plinking noise when I'm not using and the noise seems random (not every 30 seconds or minute). Any ideas?

Con la nueva actualización mi sub 4 deja de sonar mientras reproduzco música el bajo baja y despjes se vuelve a sentir, no puedo solucionar 

Currently have an Era 100 on its own and looking to upgrade to a home cinema setup. I’m looking to buy a Sonos Ray and then a Sonos Era 100 SL. Can I use my current Era 100 and the soon to be bought Era 100 SL and pair them together as rears? 

Here is the tick tock of what happened.I was gifted a Move 2 a couple of years ago; it worked like a charm. I got ambitous and purchased a second Move 2 and successfully made a stereo pair with the gifted Move 2.  Again it worked like a charm. Lately, meaning with the last two weeks, a “phantom” signleton Move 2 has appeared. The Stereo remains in the list of speaker. The prorgam playing on the stereo pair show it playing on the stereo pair and this ‘ghost’ speaker. I did not add or alter my setup; I have the voice assistant turned off.Why is this happening? What is the permanent fix to this problem?  Thanks.I have added screen grabs to support and illustrate what is going on. I hope they are not too large.  

there’s no power showing on one of my Sonos connect boxes. How can I tell if the unit is in need of replacement, I unplugged it and plugged it back in in the white light on the front is still not showing up

I’ve just replaced my Arc with the Arc Ultra in my home theatre set up (Arc Ultra, 2 x Era 300’s 1 x Sub mini) I just unplugged the Arc and plugged the Ultra into the same leads. Added the Ultra in the app, all ok. Now I can’t add the Era 300’s or the Mini. I have removed them from the original Arc set up, powered them off and rebooted the router and my phone, but still showing as not connected so I can’t addd them to the Ultra.

Qerria saber si es posible dar las ordenes al Sonos Move II en castellano o Español. Gracias Moderator edit:Google Translate-I'd like to know if it's possible to give commands to the Sonos Move II in Spanish.Thanks

Trueplay works on individual components of my system. But when I create the home theater set up, I cannot get Trueplay to initiate. I am able to do the first balancing step but the final Trueplay walk around the room step does not begin.  Error says unable to perform Trueplay at this time. Try again later.
