Fix & Optimize

I am not able to choose a Plex Playlist in the Alarm Function.  

I followed the instructions on my MAC and worked around the 913 error by creating the path to my library as if it were a NAS. Everything was fine until last week’s update and now most of my albums are listed multiple times in Sonos and the majority of them are empty. (Example below) I have tried deleting and reloading and even using the real NAS version of my library, but without any change. Does anyone know a fix for this? 

After updating my system with the latest app (80.04) my system has vanished, including arc and surrounds, every room that had a speaker isn’t showing up. Even when I try and add an existing speaker I get an error.  after using the previous app for years it has been very stable and these issues popped up right after update, not sure if anyone else is seeing these issues. 

Hi. Trying to add a Sonos Port to my existing setup.  Port updated and seemingly registered on my Sonos system OK, but no sound output to hifi.  Connected via digital output to Hifi (Meridian).  Used existing "CD" input and cable to ensure it wasn't the input or cable at fault.  Tried adjusting volume levels on both port and hifi to no avail.  Only strange thing is that the Port shows up as part of my system on the Sonos App (iPhone) but no on the web app.  Any advice please? 

I'm looking for a way to save a track to a different playlist. Does that function exist in the Sonos YT music connection?

getting songs working 

I want to hook Hardware indoor speakers and outdoor speakers to the back of my Sonos amp. Sometimes I want to turn off the outdoor speakers. I don’t want to have to unscrew the speaker wires from each post to turn off the outdoor speakers. I cannot find the adapter that for example, uses a banana plug for the outdoor speakers yet retains the speakers screwed into the posts. 

Please release a separate tool for down / upgrade then it is a conscious effort to understand consequences of the process, so you can't upgrade by mistake and now not being able to downgrade or listen to music on a perfectly good S1 system? Honestly I should be able to sue as now can't use it!!!?Hurry up and fix this please??

Despite having an updated system and a great internet connection, it's impossible to listen to an entire song on Spotify without it cutting out at least once... Even downloaded songs.

I need help. I bought 3 new Era 100 speakers for an office we just bought and can not get them to pair on either band of wifi. I’ve tried the delete app, reset speaker and all sorts of combos and nothing works.When I brought them home and tried to add them to my home system, they paired immediately and needed to do an update. I had read this could be a thing and then could work so we then took it back to the office, reset it, but it still failed to set up. Why is this not work? I have other devices like Wyze on the wifi no problem.

Dear Sonos Team,your new app does not connect with my Beam (from 2019). I read here, I am not alone with those troubles. I also tried everything with resetting the system etc. 2 hours work for nothing.I was just thinking to expand the system throughout the house. But spending a lot of money by ending up to not beeing able to use the system anymore is making me somehow careful now.what is your solution for all the connection issues?

When I go to add the voice assistant. Alexa tries to connect to Amazon but won't connect. It allows me to connect to Google. But I need Amazon Alexa because all my music is there.

Hi all,My current set up is a Beam Gen 2 and 2x Play 1’s set up as a surround sound system for my TV in the living room which works really well as is but I have just been given a Bose Smart Soundbar 600 and I am wondering if I can swap out the Beam Gen 2 for this and keep them linked to the Play 1’s for surround sound but make use of the upwards firing drivers on the Bose to get the full dolby atmos experience?Do they play together do you know?Any help would be appreciated.

I have a problem with a single Sonos One (I have 10 sonos speakers in total)Issue experienced One of a paired of Sonos One speakers suddenly stopped working I factory reset it wirelessly and wired It gets as far as being seen in the App but then fails and says “The connection to your Sonos One was lost. Make sure Sonos One is powered on”  The speaker is fully powered on during the whole process A second error says “Your Sonos One couldn't be set up. Unplug the power cord, plug it back in, and try again.” powered off and on - then nothing happens and the speaker is not seen in App I have also reset the Sonos App - still not worked.Anyone see this before - any ideasThanks

Can anyone tell me if they see any visual indication that content is being played in Dolby Atmos on Sonos Ace in the Sonos app? I’m used to seeing an icon for Dolby Atmos content in the app for Arc, but can’t see anything for Ace if using TV Swap or playing Dolby Atmos content (from Apple Music) with an iPhone.

Hello, I have the following set-up since 2 years: one ARC paired with 2 sonos one. I bought a renewed Sub (gen 1 or 2) and am unable to connect it to my system. The installation requires an update of the Sub (written it should take a few minutes only) but after a lot of attemps, I'm still not able to complete the update. I of course reset to factory setting multiple time, unplugged reppluged, rebooted the WiFi etc but still no success: the update starts but never completes itself and no error message appears. Using S2 for set up. Thanks for your helpP

My Roam 2 speaker, when connected to my phone (whether via Bluetooth or WiFi), intermittently produces hissing noise. Even when playing music, if it’s soft music, I can still notice this buzzing noise similar to electrical interference. Placing the speaker close to my ear, I discovered that the noise is coming from the lower part of the speaker (below the Sonos logo). Could this be a quality issue with the product? Is there a setting in the Sonos app that can resolve this issue, or can I request a replacement? I am very satisfied with the design and sound quality of the Roam 2, but this white noise issue is quite bothersome.

Sonos said that they would restore accessibility for the Sonos app to utilize your local music library (in my case, MacOS).   This has not happened, it still doesn’t work and we’re approaching August.Anyone else seeing the same issue? 

my most recent problem is with alexa and grouping. I have about 10 different speakers group together at all times. I always have music playing out all of the speakers. When I ask alexa to play music, it works for the speaker that it was requested on and plays among all of the speakers in the group as it should. Well, not all of the speakers. The play 1’s are left out of the equation. They are still connected as a group and the volume control still slides back-and-forth, however, no audio comes out. The only way to make audio come out of the play ones is to launch the music from the app.  thoughts?

This has been going on for a while now. I can only find one speaker out of 8 on the app. I’ve tried resetting every speak several times. A couple of weeks ago after resetting my router and the speakers several time I finally got my speakers to show up. But that only lasted a couple of days. It’s always the same speaker that ends up being the only one. I have about 4k in speakers that isn’t even a year old. Please help me. 

AMP shows that it is connected and shows that the music should be playing, but no sound is coming out. I recently installed four SONANCE MAG6R speakers and an AMP on my new covered patio. The amp is in the garage about 150’ away, and we have 14G speaker wire burrier in conduit running over to the patio. Recently installed a UniFi mesh system. The speakers and AMP worked perfectly fine on this wireless system for about 3 weeks, then stopped. Again, it shows that the music is playing, everything is connected, but no sound will come out. I now have the amp hardwired to see if that helped, still nothing. I have spent about 4.5 hours on the phone with customer support and still haven’t been able to figure it out. Pretty sure I have fixed all the settings on the UniFI app that Sonos told me to do, still nothing. I originally purchased 2 AMPS, so I tried the brand new one and it is doing the same thing.  If anyone has any insight on what is going on I would appreciate it. Maybe I am missing s
