Fix & Optimize

HelloI've set up my two play:5 gen2 in a stereo pair with line-in to my TV. I've had this setup for several years without issues. I later added a sub for niceness. Since I moved into my new two-story house I've experienced drop outs from the speaker that does not have the line-in cable (Left), at an increasing rate.It's now at the point where the left speaker is more off than on.At one point in time I lost connection to both speakers and wired the speaker with the line-in cable (Right), which got the connection back, but the drop outs kept appearing.In the network matrix I notice that the Right speaker does not contain the left one, but the left one does include the right. I have two more speakers, but I've disconnected these when I tried to identify if they caused an issue. It didn't change anything to power off all other speakers than the stereo group. I'm my network at home is set up by my isp with two mesh "boxes". One on each floor. I've had to wire my speaker to the top one, even

Just switched streaming services and used SongShift to move my playlists from Spotify over to Apple Music. Now I am testing Sonos with Apple Music but after adding my account, my Playlists says No Selections Available.

My system made up of a Sonos Roam and a Beam (Gen 2) in separate rooms. Using Alexa as voice assistant on both devices. Set up was put together over a month ago and has been working fine until one week ago.  Without any change to any physical arrangement or software setting, when trying to use the Alexa wake word on my Beam, The device is having tremendous difficulty. Only hears the weak word and remains activated about 50% of the time. The other 50% of the time is split up: 25% of the time the Beam hears the wake  word and the light illuminates for just a fraction of a second before immediately turning off without listening to a command. That is to say it doesn’t even give the speaker a chance to lower the volume and listen so it does acknowledge the weak word it just instantly decides to go back to its regular state without listening to the command. The other 25% of the time my Sonos roam, located in a different room quite far away hears the command and tries to complete the task.  O

Have 2 Eero Pros in my house, the one connected to the modem is hooked up to a Play:5 and that is outputting SonosNet. My other Eero is in the bedroom with wireless backhaul. I removed the saved network credentials from my Sonos app so it is only connecting via SonosNet and am on Ch 11.After a slightly painful set-up process getting everything up and running, my only issue right now is that I can only control my speakers when my device is connected to Wifi 6.Not sure if this can be fixed but is is super annoying. At least on my Android devices that support Wifi6, the Wifi6 symbol in the notification bar shows a “6” symbol. On Apple devices there is no indicator.As soon as I go to the kitchen or the bathroom, Eero determines it is too far for Wifi6 and switches to regular wifi (Still 5ghz from checking the Eero app), the Sonosnet speakers can’t be found. Is there anyway to make it available on regular wifi?

Hi,I am having difficulty connecting to my new Arc which was bought as part of home theatre. Sub and 2 x One SL have no issues.I’ve spoken with help line and we discovered that 2.4GHz wasn’t working on  my modem. This has now been rectified following a reset of the modem as instructed by Telstra and I can connect to 2.4GHz on iPhone and iPad.I am still unable to connect to the Arc. Can someone please let me know if I have set the modem up incorrectlyI have a Telstra Modem - Technicolor DJA0231Software version 20.3.cFirmware version 20.3.c.0389-MR20-RAThe 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless networks have different names and passwords 2.4GHz Interface settings areEnabled Standard 802.11  b/g/nChannel 11Channel width 20GHzShort Guard Interval - OnCyclic Delay Diversity - AutoSpace Time Block Code - OffOutput Power 100% 2.4Ghz Access Point settings areEnabledBroadcast SSID - OnSecurity Mode   WPA2 PSKWPS - OnWPS AP Pin  - not selectedWPS AP PIN Code -  8 digit number which doesn’t look as if it can b

Had a beam and Ones set up beautifully with a decent tv for a couple of years without any issue. This week, for no apparent reason, certain channels won’t play sound. All ITV channels for example, even ones in HD are silent. BBC fine. Netflix went silent but I’ve fixed that I think.  I’ve updated the Sony tv, no change. I’ve changed all available audio output channels. PCM silent. Audio 1 digital option works, audio 2 doesn’t. I’ve checked all cables. Fine. Music is fine.  I’m utterly flummoxed. Any help gratefully received. It’s not the end of the world but the kids are annoyed.  it’s a Sony 4K tv.  

I recently got a new Samsung TV, a new Apple TV 4k, and a Sonos Arc.Quite frequently the Arc audio does not work and I have to fiddle with things to get it operating again.This seems to happen whenever I walk away from the room and things go to sleep. When coming back from sleep the Arc audio will not work unless I back out of whatever app I was in on the Apple TV and go back into the content. Sometimes doing this 1 time will get the Audio back and sometimes it can take many times.The other time it happens is when a TV series switches episodes. The Arc will be playing and when the next episode starts there will be no audio. Again, exiting the content and returning to it may or may not start the Arc audio again.Occasionally, starting any movie in a given Apple TV app will also have no audio from the Arc. Exiting and restarting the movie might fix it, but sometimes not and I have to try playing multiple different movies, trailers, etc. to get the Arc “going again” and then the movie I wa

Hi,First post on here so hope this is correct way to do it. I have searched and similar posts hadn't been updated for 1 or 2 years.Last week I bought 2 x play one sl to use as surround speakers for a playbar I have happily used for a few years connected to our tv. First impressions were great, really added to the experience but didn't take long before issues started.When audio plays, regardless of 5.1 tv input, 2.0 TV input or music streaming, a delay develops on the surrounds, like an echo of the playbar, after an indeterminate period of time. Also, the sound will occasionally cut out on the surronds for a split second, but this issue is less rare.I am not grouping with any other sonos in the house when this happens (1 play 1 in kitchen and 1 play1 in dining room) just using my "lounge" playbar and 2x play one sl group which sonos applied as part of initial setup. Turning the surrounds off then back on with the app temporarily fixes echo and brings audio back in sync, but not for long

Hello,I bought a a month ago a Sonos Roam and for a week it started to turn off by itself while I'm listening to music. It's very annoying and I don't understand why.… Can you help me?  Thanks, Donatien

I have a new Sub gen 3, setup was all fine, but NO SOUND comes from it.Diagnostics Number1153778125Need Help

Only recently my Beam is ducking the audio when using my Amazon echo in the same room (group).It never use to duck when "playing" audio via HDMI, but it has started to do this I think since that latest update.I have contacted Sonos support but they claim that it has always done this. I have seen other post in the community wanting this "feature".Also just to add, the mic is turned off on the Beam.Does anyone know how to stop it?

I use my iphone to stream YouTube Music Premium to my 5 room system via airplay 2.  It used to work just fine, but since I added a pair of Fives i’ve been having trouble with the music stopping. The most common symptom is that the rooms with a pair of Fives and a room with just 1 One stop playing. This most recent time I noticed that they were no longer selected in the airplay 2 speaker group as shown on my iPhone’s airplay menu.   Anybody else having this trouble or have any ideas about what is going on? 

I find it difficult to believe (but maybe it’s just me) but I still don’t seem to be able to ask Alexa to play ‘BBC Radio 2 in the Lounge’ (Lounge grouped to a Sonos 5). It’s fine with other (non BBC) radio stations though and even okay playing BBC Radio on the internal Alexa speaker. Is it a Tunein problem? ‍♂️

HiSince i bought my LG OLED c1, impossible for me to get sonos arc work properly when i open the TV ( i have to revert to internal speakers then select hdmi arc to have the sound go back)But the worse is that i couldn't have earc: when i toggle earc in the menu it reverts automatically to internal TV speakersI'm using a ultra Hugh speed hdmi câble certifiée between the two devices, sonos arc and LG c1 up to date, i've tried all the settings possible on the TV ( passtrough, auto, bitstream, simplink, hdmi deep color etc)Is it sonos related?  

Hi, I haven’t had any problems in the past using Apple Music through my Sonos. Then we signed up for Apple One and now I can’t access My Playlists. I’m logged into my iTunes account and I can play music from Apple Music, just not my own. I keep getting the “There was a problem connecting to Apple Music try again later” message. I’ve tried reauthorizing Apple Music, but only get the problem connecting message. The odd thing is my playlists appear occasionally and it looks like the music’s in there, but it won’t play and then disappears. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sonos Connect, Playbar,  3 speakerRunning in a stable fashion for many years- but in the last couple weeks lost all Sirius stations greater than Channel 500. They no longer appear in the list of available channels, and clicking on a channel from the Favorites list returns an error. The Connect is controlled by 2 updated iphone apps or via a Mac. Same limitation on all three.The channels above 500 are available via the Sirius phone apps as well as website- all using the same log-in credentials.Already deleted Sirius service via Sonos settings, and then added back with no good result.Any thoughts on a fix? Thanks!

Hello there, I recently connected my Arc and Gen 3 Sub to my Prism+ TV through the HDMI (ARC) port without any challenges. The sound stage is stunning! Especially the solid and punchy bass from the Sub. However, the Google Assistant through the Arc is unable to turn on the TV. The TV’s built-in Google Assistant was working well. My TV model is Prism+ QE86 Pro.Any thoughts from anyone? 

Hiwe are experiencing some GA issues with our sonos setup.We have a kitchen (1x play one) and a dining area (2x play one in stereo).The rooms are next to each other and it is very easy for all speakers to hear the “hey Google” trigger.  If I ask a question, I would expect the closest room to reply, but both rooms reply and generates sort of an echo  Is that how it is when it is not native Google speakers? 

My Move stopped showing up in the app when I replaced my cable modem/router. Once I figured out that I needed to connect to the new home network I was able to go on to the next steps on my iphone. It told me to connect to the Sonos wifi instead of my home network which I did. I then added the Move on the Sonos wifi network and reconnected to  my home wifi.Now it shows up as Portable on my iphone but it can’t access my music library (says it can’t connect to my network drive) It does work for spotify.Not only that but Portable is now the only speaker that shows up on my iphone sonos app. On my computer app the Portable doesn’t show up but all the other speakers work fine and can access my network drive.

I have been ripping my cds to flac files to play via Plex to Sonos. I have some files which I ripped a few years ago and they play fine. The new files I’ve just ripped will not play and throw an error saying files are not encoded correctly. The only thing I believe different between these files is the compression level used. The older files uses a compression level of 6 when compressing the flac, where as the new files I used compression level 3. When looking at the metadata for these files I also see the older files seem to have album artwork embedded where the new files do not. Other than that I can’t figure out what might be different in how these files have been ripped. They are both 16bit 44100Hz sample rates which is supported on my Sonos. Here is the stream info for each file.Working file:METADATA block #0  type: 0 (STREAMINFO)  is last: false  length: 34  minimum blocksize: 4096 samples  maximum blocksize: 4096 samples  minimum framesize: 14 bytes  maximum framesize: 13732 byte

Mellow Morning was an original HD station and one of the main reasons my wife wanted to subscribe. We listen every morning to that. As of yesterday it disappeared. What happened? Is it coming back? Is it just because of the holiday stations? We want it back. Help!

I have a new Orbi wi-fi setup. My Sonos now only sees the wired Sonos products and not the 2 separate Play:1 speakers. Ive tried all the 'reconnecting' suggestions from the forum with no joy. I would apprciate any suggestions as one of the Play:1 speaker sis used for Bedtime stories in my girls room as they go to sleep! *Moderator Note: Modified title in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.*

Hi,I want to return Sanus Speaker Stand. I buyed 13/01, and is not working for me due to the huge stand up floor piece. I want to buy the wall mount instead https://www.sonos.com/es-es/shop/wall-mount-one-play1-pairBoth are same money, so I want to return the stands and get the wall mount, but there’s no way in Spain to chat or call anyone at Sonos. Seems the customer support is very bad and I’m wrting here. Also I’m trying to print a label for return and the page I get doesn’t give me the label.

SONOS Connect Options with SB's & AMP'sTo help illustrate the network design options, I have attached a series of drawings with the various connections (see above link to my DropBox folder).   I am in need of some specific advice on connecting SONOS AMPs and SONOS Soundbars to a TV?  I need to better understand the connection interfaces between them, especially when the AMP is located in a different room in the house. Almost all of the custom homes I service install 4K-TV's on a wall without an equipment cabinet beneath them.  Most install SONOS ARC or Beam speaker bars.  Some decide to have in-ceiling speakers set-up as surrounds behind the seating area.  The In-Ceiling (IC) speaker wires run to an equipment cabinet in a different part of the house. At one house there were four (4) in-ceiling speakers, two (2) front and two (2) rear, and I was instructed to place an HDMI 2.0 ARC Extender behind the TV to convert HDMI to Ethernet, and then Ethernet to HDMI, using a pair of ARC Exte
