Fix & Optimize

I've spent over 8 hours trying to get my sub and one's reconnected to my Arc. I have an Arc, Sub, and two One's which ALL worked previously until I changed my network. I'm able to find the devices and add them to the Arc. I get a confirmation in the app that they've been added but then they all immediately show as offline within the app immediately after. I've confirmed that they're not playing so it's not just a visualization probpem. I've tried adding a new system, both Android and IOS apps, different wifi networks, and have also plugged the Arc directly into my router. I've factory reset each item multiple times and I have the same issue every time. I'm able to play music directly to the devices, but once I bond them to the Arc they're bricks. I don't know what else I can try here. I've about had it with Sonos. My last purchase, a Roam, completely died on me, and now thousands of dollars of home entertainment equipment is essentially useless. 

Sometimes when I say “Alexa, volume up” or “Alexa, volume down”, the volume on all 10 Sonos devices goes VERY low for 10 seconds before it going to the raised or lowered volume. This is irritating because if playing a podcast, I miss 10 seconds of the podcast. This doesn’t always occur, but probably half the time. This behavior recently started occurring. I can understand if a Sonos device that has a microphone might lower the volume when someone is speaking to it, but this happens to all Sonos device even those without a microphone.

Just purchased three arc sound bar with sub. Also 2 era 300's. Sounds great. I went through each speaker setup which was quite easy. The era 300's are only putting out background sounds. I was hoping because our room is quite large that they would help in hearing the words/voices of the movie. Did I configure them wrong? I did have each one run the "tuning". Any help would be great. Thanks

Hello. It looks like the Sonos App for iOS has lost its capability to provide the numerical battery percentage information. I am on the latest version (version 80.11.51). I see the percentages on the Sonos App for Android. Therefore this problem seems to be unique to the iOS app. The percentages used to be displayed even couple of weeks back, so it seems to be a bug added to the code in the latest iteration. I guess it keeps the developers busy :) Anyone else seen this issue? If yes, is there a fix in work?

I have the Sonos S5. It is utterly useless as a speaker or streaming device. But, I still would like to use it and heard it can be daisy chained with a Sonos product that still has the ability to stream, etc.. What are the Sonos products that I can purchase which then could be use and enable my S5 to work? Thanks in advance.

I have Play:1 and when I try and play music the app tells me “internet connection was lost.” App is up to date and obviously my internet works fine as that is how I’m posting this question. Anyone else dealing with this?

How do I connect a turntable with a pair of Sonos speakers? Thanks.

Anyone know how to remedy the “No Products Found” and/or “There are no connected products” messages?  They show up for a few seconds and then clear out.  But after my phone goes to sleep they show up again when I access the app.  There’ no interruption in music but it’s annoying.  The app just isn’t stable.Thanks  

Hi, I’m in the UK and have recently joined Apple Music. I’ve tried to add it as a service to my Sonos app but comes up ‘no results for Apple Music’ any ideas? 

I tried to reconnect my play 1 to the wifi network. Router fritz box7583 LD. Nothing changed at the network. Just suddenly Sonos app don't work. I deleted all the other connections like  in my Google home. Restart router. I did everything. The play is recognized by the Sonos app but cannot find de play 1 in my network. Anybody a solution or similar problem? Checked also my router, seems okay, but can also not add Sonos to my router. 

I have a network where there is a wireless router in my house, and then a backyard office on the same network, hard wired between the house and office, and then a wireless access point in the office. a number of weeks ago my Sonos system stopped detecting my Sonos system in the entire house and office when in my living room. At the same time, when in the office I could see the whole sypstem except my Living Room (Beam Gen 1, One SL’s, Sub Gen 2).  There have been no changes in my router settings and I do have the latest version of the app.I tried re-adding my Living Room, but soft reboots weren’t doing anything. I tried connecting my Beam via Ethernet, and that  didn’t do anything.i tried a hard reboot with my beam and it was added, but it still could not detect any other devices or rooms, even when trying to add other devices in my living room. I then went to the backyard office and I could see the entire system except the Living Room Beam I just added. When going back to the house, i

Same as problem previously closed, neither of my 2 Roams will connect with other speakers, though I can connect them to SONOS alone.  My app is apparently up to date.  Any ideas please ?

Problems running Sonos for Android for almost a year. Need to logout/login, reboot etc. to get it working. Now it has stopped executing orders like play, choose music etc.Am I the only one???? Most unsatisfiing - thinking of droping Sonos. How can Sonos spend almost a year fixing a problen after the update early spring this year???

Sonos app not working properly. Having problem loading my system and cannot see my products. Tried deleting the app and reinstall. Still no progress. Please help. Enough of this app not working stuff. thanks 

Why still after 4 months Sonos didn't sort out problem playing Internet Radio stations through MyTuner Radio???Especially foreign internet radio stations. Any current update on it , please??Good I haven't wasted money in buying more speakers from Sonos, yet..

It keeps showing no selection is available, anyone still having this issue?

 I am BEYOND frustrated. I believe there should be a class action suit against Sonos. Every single time I try to play anything on my system, every single speaker comes in and out and the music seems to randomly skip around. I have read all of the fixes on here and I did not spend thousands of dollars on a system that requires me to have a degree in Computer Science to work. Thousands of dollars and we can’t just play music.  how are they able to continue selling these products that do not work as described. 2 of our speakers are mounted @11’ and I am constantly being told to unplug each speaker/arc, etc and reboot my router. That is the answer every time and it’s unacceptable. 

My home theater system has an ARC, a new Sub 4 and two One SL speakers.  I’ve read several reviews that say stay with your ARC, Sub 4 and upgrade to two ERA 300s for surround speakers.  Most reviews say since you already have a dedicated Sub 4 and with an upgrade to two ERA 300s, you would not notice much, if any, difference between having an ARC vs ARC Ultra, plus you’d save $1,000.  Thoughts?  Thanks!

Since sonos refuses to fix this crappy Android app has anyone found an alternative app that works with all speakers. Thousands of dollars in speakers and nothing to resolve my issues.

Some of my speakers are always muted and I cannot unmute them using the app anymore. Instead, I have to physically touch each speaker which is ridiculous.  Any suggestions for fixing it or is this a known issue with the app?

Is it possible to play YouTube videos (not YouTube Music), through Sonos Play 5 Gen 1? 

I have two One SLs. One of them refuses to receive AirPlay. The other works fine. When I try to choose it as AirPlay receiver I get an error message saying it’s unable to connect to the speaker.  Is there a fix? This is the whole point I bought SONOS speakers… And no, the problem isn't that I haven’t power cycled or updated or things like that. Partly because the other speaker works fine and part because I’ve already tried that. 

Connect a speaker 

I’m looking at a new turntable being the Sony one - I’ve got 2 x Bluetooth Sonos one a100 speakers and the turntable is Bluetooth compatible- wondering if anyone knows if this will work? I keep seeing issues regarding connection but no sound. if this speaker doesn’t work - can someone recommend a speaker which does without cables with this turntable , I don’t want to fork out another 300 quid for a new speaker when I’ve got 2 that are just as good.

Does Sonos have a recommended/proven router/wifi extension mesh system that works best for Era 100 and Move2 wireless speakers in the home?  I am currently using a Zyexl router and Eeros wifi mesh and Sonos system disconnects constantly as it is seeing a “shadow” network and IP addresses.  When I unplug the Eeros wifi mesh, I have no issues with speaker connectivity, but I need the wifi mesh system for wifi coverage in the whole house.Please send me any recommendations for router/mesh system combinations that have been shown to work with Sonos systems.
