Fix & Optimize

Hi - we have a new arc ultra. It says it is connected to our new Samsung TV. Xfinity is our provider. We can watch TV and get sound from the TV sound. When we change the TV sound settings to the arc ultra we get no sound. Everything appears to be connected properly.  Why is there no sound from the arc ultra? Thanks!

I have a new issue with a stereo pair of Sonos One SL speakers. Recently, green status lights have come on even they are toggled off in the app. They come on and stay on when sleep timer ends.  Toggling them on and off did not help. Power cyclubf did not help.  I talked with support and there was an update available. I ran it and then, maybe five minutes later.   The tech said if the issue persists to do a factory reset, which I thought Sonos no longer recommended.Then I put on music, set sleep timer, and green status lights came back on.  This seems like an update caused a problem. Anyone else having this problem? BR

I use a Sonos One stereo pair in the bedroom and frequently use Sleep Timer.After recent updates, when Sleep Timer finishes and playback fades out to zero, both speakers show a solid green LED during the night.Important behavior:If I manually pause playback → no green LED appearsIf Sleep Timer ends playback → green LEDs appearSpeakers remain fully online and functionalNo need to restart or reset devicesThis did not happen previously and seems like a change in behavior after recent Sonos app/firmware updates.Since this occurs in a bedroom use case, the LEDs are disruptive at night.I suspect Sleep Timer end-state is now treated as mute/idle, triggering the green LED.Can this behavior be confirmed or reviewed?

I noticed that playback of apple music atmos tracks sounds great and with a wide soundstage on my single ERA300. Playback of stereo tracks sound much more constrained to the location of the single speaker.I am well aware that true dolby atmos necessitates a surround speaker layout with ceiling speakers. It seems to me it should be possible to upmix stereo signal so that it sounds just as spatial as atmos from a single speaker. The upmixing in both cases is artificial anyways as it only simulates a spatial reproduction. My Denon AVR has plenty of upmixing schemes that I can chose from. Why does sonos not implement a similar upmixing schene?

My 5 Sonos speakers all play music from my network share except my new Sonos Play.My new speaker will play music from Spotify without problems. Any ideas, regards Adam 

Hi I have a Roku Tv and I recently bought a Sonos Ray , I set up my remote, it  works fine raising the volume but I can lower the volume , what can I do to fix it .. help thank you in advance 

1. How can I create ad-free playlists of various genres? 2. Does Sonos still block playing downloaded music from my iPhone? 

For the second time in 5 days Pandora has stopped working.  It was playing and then stopped. Radio stations work and I can play my music library.I spent a lot of time with their chat bot and then a service representative,  which was completely unproductive (yes, my internet was working- all other sonos services were working).After the first instance, Pandora worked the following day. Anyone else having this problem? Ideas for getting Sonos to pay attention?Thank you

I Love my Sonos Ace headphones . The sound quality is so good and they are so comfortable to wear .I use them 3-4 times a week for a year, but have just notice the headphone cushion is lifting on the front.The ear cushions are fine. Are Sonos prepared to set and behind their excelllent product and repair or replace! 

I have a system consisting of an arc, a sub and two era 300 speakers .  One day they just disappeared from the app. It says not connected.  I have two other Sonos systems and they work fine.   

My current system is a older playbar, 300 stereo, play five, one and a move 2. they all connect well through the app except for the play bar. I’m not able to connect the play bar with the system when I watch TV can you help?

Whenever I look for a particular artist via the Sonos app (through Apple Music) I get “An error has occurred with Apple Music. Try again later”. On the rare occasion an artists albums show up the playlist is empty. I have re-authorized my Apple account, restarted my iPhone and Sonos app. Everything shows up in the Apple Music app. Any suggestions?

I have 2 Era 300 speakers that keep cutting in and out and just wanted to know if i can use an Aux y spliter to connect to both adapters with out having any problems

I have a new arc ultra.  I am trying to add a pair of Fives as surround speakers but they are not available when I go into the app to add surrounds.  I can see two amps that are on my system as options but the Fives are not there.   The Fives are not stereo paired and I did a factory reset on them to add them back to my system.   I can see them in the list of speakers available to play music on but just not to add.   anyone have any thoughts?

HiHoping for some advice please. My nephew signed into my Sonos Ray and now it thinks he is the main account holder and won't let me update or adjust volume. He can't remember the details he used…Factory reset my only option? Thank you for reading.

Have 10 Sonos speaker with Arc Ultra, sub and 2 rears in the living room which sound great.  But, when I stream music through the house and change volume, the arc just drops off they group.  Doesn’t happen all the time but it’s annoying.  I was told to go in to my Frame TV sound setting and turn on and off a particular setting and it seems to work for awhile but eventually comes back.  Any suggestions?

Hi everyone,I’m hoping someone has seen this before.I have a fairly large Sonos system with multiple Era 300s, Subs, Arc Ultra, Era 100s, Fives, and a Roam.One specific Era 300 is behaving very strangely:The speaker works perfectly when added to a brand-new Sonos household/system. When I add the same speaker to my main Sonos system, it does not identify properly. Sometimes it shows the correct Era 300 image, sometimes it shows a generic/ghost speaker icon. At times the product type (“Era 300”) disappears and only the room name is shown. When I open the speaker page, I don’t get the normal detailed product information/options that my other Era 300s show. Reinstalling the Sonos app did not help. Factory resetting and re-adding the speaker did not help. Renaming the room did not help. The issue only occurs in my main Sonos household.What’s confusing is that the speaker itself appears to be healthy because it works normally in a separate Sonos system.Has anyone experienced:An Era 300 showi

Hey everyone,I was curious how people usually reorganize or reconnect their Sonos systems after moving furniture around, changing rooms, or relocating equipment during home cleanups or renovations.Do you usually rename speakers and rebuild everything from scratch, or is there a smoother way to manage room changes inside the app?I’ve noticed that larger setup changes can sometimes create confusion with grouping & room organization, especially in multi-room setups.Interested to hear how others here handle it.

Hello Sonos Support,I am experiencing a persistent issue with a Sonos One where onboard voice assistants no longer treat the speaker as the local playback device.The speaker can play music when it is explicitly named, for example:“Play [music/radio] on Living Room”However, when speaking directly to the Sonos One and saying:“Play [music/radio]”the command does not play locally unless I include the speaker name.This previously worked normally. I could speak to the Sonos One and simply say “play [music/radio]” and it would play on that same speaker.The issue affects both Google Assistant and Alexa, so it does not appear to be isolated to one assistant provider.Current behaviour:The Sonos One responds to voice commands. Smart-home commands work, including lights and thermostat control. Music/radio playback works if I explicitly name the speaker. Music/radio playback does not resolve to the local Sonos One when I simply say “play [music/radio]”. Google Home can see the Sonos speaker as a li

Hi, Today Sonos windows controller  indicated that an update was available. I tried to run it, but Smart App Control intercepted and blocked the update from completing. Message was that the publisher could not be verified. Help please.

Hey there! I have a Sonos Move 2 speaker that worked fine on my Orange Livebox 7's network for almost a year, then started to not be visible anymore in my Sonos app. I reset the device and it managed to join the wifi, but it was never able to be linked my my account. Despite several resets, the operation always failed. I talked with support and they were great. We saw that the setup worked when the speaker was on another Wifi network created with Android's tethering feature. We checked the wifi's Mac filtering settings but it was disabled, and enabling it + adding the speaker's mac address didn't fix anything. In the end, support concluded there was probably an issue with my Livebox. Looking into that hypothesis, I fell upon this discussion:  It gave me the necessary pointers to fix the issue (my UI is in Fench, I tried to translate to English):Launch the "Orange and me"/"Orange et moi" app on your phone (the "My Livebox" app was discontinued) Click on "Your Livebox"/"Votre Livebox" Sc

I got to the part of the procedure that says “press the button on play:5 with the flashing light.”Do I press and hold or just press and release? And it doesn’t really feel like a button. It’s just the flashing light on top of the speaker. If I press on it I get a little tone (I think) and then I release. Should it change color? Nothing happens after that and then I get a message that say “We didn’t detect a button press” 

Sonos app is working fine on iOS devices but not on MACOs. Have tried everything recommended by Claude for over an hour. Nothing seems to work.  Keep getting error message about a firewall issue. Claude think it’s a bug with Sonos and Apple not playing nice with Local Network connection networking issues.

2 feature requests -I use night mode to even out loud and quiet parts during movies so I don’t have to change the volume all of the time. Unfortunately it also seems to turn down low bass volume as well as dynamic range. It’d be great to have an option that keeps the sub untouched.  -I’ve noticed music bass levels are much quieter than movies. It’s be great to have sub level separated for tv and music like it is for surrounds. Currently, if I set the level where it’s great for movies, there is very little bass for music (Sub 4)  

Hi everyone,I’m experiencing an annoying rattling noise with my Sonos Sub Gen 2. The issue happens mostly during movies, especially in low frequency scenes with deep bass. It is less noticeable with music, but still present at times.What I’ve already tried: Factory reset Trueplay tuning multiple times Moving the Sub to different locations in the room Switching connection from WiFi to Ethernet (currently wired) The rattling still occurs regardless of placement or connection method.Has anyone experienced something similar with a Gen 2? Did it turn out to be a hardware issue or was there a specific fix?
