Why can i not listen to RadioTunes anymore on my Sonos? Before i was very happy for my Sonos, but not anymore😳👎👎. I have called Sonos support here in Denmark, but they was not to any help🤔👎. All the problems started with the new TuneIn update + the new Sonos update.

I’m not sure why Sonos thinks this is a desirable feature, but it drives me crazy: Whenever I shuffle a playlist, the very first song in the playlist’s “natural” order is not shuffled. The rest of the songs are shuffled, but not the first song. This sucks.Another unrelated nuisance is that Sonos seems to restart playing the shuffled playlist from the beginning without any prompting from me. So for example, if play a shuffled playlist, sometimes it will continue to play where it left off, and sometimes, inexplicably, it will start from the first song again.I’m wondering what the logic is behind these annoying behaviors.

Hi,I have both Roam and Move 2.  The problem I am having is finding the battery life of each of these items. My mobile (android) has the new app and I can find the battery life on this (not as good as the previous version of the app but there are enough comments on this already).  However, I use the PC (windows) version of the app to mainly control the Move 2.  However, I cannot find anywhere on the PC app version, battery life of my speakers.  Each time, I have to use the app on my mobile.  One of the problem with the new app is that it doesn’t always connect to the speakers and so I have to reload it several times whereas the PC version doesn’t suffer from this problem and seems much more stable.  However, it doesn’t appear to have the same functionality, it does all I ask of it except I can’t find out the battery life of the speakers and its a pain having to access my mobile to see the battery life.  Does anyone know how to access battery life through the PC (windows) version of the

I upgraded my wifi mesh system. Now any hard wired computer that uses the S1 controller cannot see the system. The system works when using the app with my phone. With the desktop app I connect to the system and I get the  “ connected to the system”  screen. I click done and it immediately goes to the desktop app screen stating it cannot find the system. All speakers are seen on the mobile app and work fine

I see similar questions have been posted int the past but I dont see any actual solution?  My system worked perfectly fine for a couple of weeks then, my devises struggle to reconginze each other, the TV always disconnects from the Arc after powering down.My setup:Samsung Q-LED TVSonos ARC and SubApple TVI’ve confirmed:ANynet is onHDMI e-ARC on on autoIve tried:Completey resetting both devises and setting up again (without any other devise connected)tried the (NON e-ARC) HDMI slotSpent hours on the phone with Sonos and Samsung supportInstalling a CEC blocker on the Apple TV line Would really appreciate any solutions to this super frustrating issue 

Can you let us know when Sonos Playlist will be available in the new app?

Hi all Can’t connect to our new Move 2 in our new italian summer house. We have wify and many sonos products at home. the app will not see the move 2?? 

I only noticed this after updating the Sonos iOS app, but it could have been a problem prior to the update. The microphone for Beam and One are disabled by default, and i lost the ability to turn it back on. I understand that speakers setup as surround speaker pairs will need to have their microphones turned off. But I don’t know what’s causing Beam to lose its microphone as well. No wonder I’m not able to add Sonos Voice Control to Beam! Another thing I noticed is that Network is shown as “Unavailable” for my One and One SL, which were setup as a surround speaker pair.  My questions are:What’s causing the microphone to disable on my Beam and is there a fix for that?  What’s causing the network for my surround speakers to show as “Unavailable”? Is it a problem, and if it is, is there a fix for that as well?Surround sound seems to still work. Will attempt to retune trueplay and see what comes up.  I should note that Sonos Voice Control was working prior to iOS app update, which would in

Since last night I can’t get Alexia on my Roam or Beam to play anything It says playing xxx from BBC sounds or xxx from Apple Music etc and that’s it. It never actually plays anythingIve rebooted router, and devices. Disconnect the skill in the Alexia app and reconnected and still the same.  Any ideas !

An alarm I saved that worked yesterday is shown today as “not available” and did not work.  Why is this?

I am experiencing problems with a large part of my Sonos system since yesterday. The issue is that both the Sonos Beam Gen 2 with Sub and the Sonos Ray have stopped working. They disappeared from the system, meaning they went offline, and are not responding. I have tried to add them back, factory reset them, and delete the entire Sonos system before adding them again. When I re-add them, Ray came online again but disappeared after a few hours. The only speaker that is still online is Era 100, which works as normal. All the products are about half a year old. I can also add that they have a good signal strength from the router, so that shouldn't be the problem. I have also tried connecting the Beam with an Ethernet cable, but that didn't work either. Has anyone experienced the same, and what is the solution?

I have a 4 speaker system which the latest update has rendered virtually unusable.Group volume control is useless, every time the app is opened I get the unable to connect message and when I try to connect to existing system it says no products can be found!When it does eventually find the system (can take up to 3 minutes), it can drop out at any minute.Why the app can't just be rolled back to a previous version is beyond me, at least that actually worked.I've read Mr Spence's email apologising on behalf of the 'Team' but as this debacle is now into its 4th month with zero improvement, all I want to here from him now is he's done the decent thing and resigned. 

Since the latest Sonos app update my Roam has connection issues. It shows in the app as an available speaker but an error message pops up “Unable to connect. Try again later”.All other speakers connect and play, except the Roam. 

I upgraded from a two year old Netgear router to a brand new Eero six mesh router, significantly improving the Wi-Fi signal in my home. Unfortunately, that upgrade meant I had to spend many hours reconnecting all 21 of my devices to the new router. Some were very easy and some took a while. I was never able to reconnect the Sonos system to the new router by myself. It required an hour long on-hold wait on the phone and two hours with a technician that was very difficult to understand (he was knowledgeable but I could not understand his accent very well and had to ask him to repeat what he was saying many times). In the end my patience won out after we gave up on using the WiFi connection process and hardwired the base station directly to the router, allowing the system to finally function properly. At the end of our interaction, I was under the impression that I would need to leave the system connected directly to the router until a time down the road when the software would allow me t

Hi,Yesterday after turning off the television and nothing else playing, the Beam Gen2 started making crackling sounds. I powered off & on, and immediately the crackling resumed even though nothing was playing. I also noticed there was no LED when powering the Beam on.I left it powered off overnight, and this morning I have tried connecting it again. No LED, no nothing (also no crackling). I have attempted factory reset a couple times, but there is no LED at all when I connect the power.I don't see the speaker in the Airlplay device list, and the Sonos app also is not seeing the Beam anymore.Did it somehow die? Any suggestions what I else could do to fix it?

I have had a Sonos system for several years and it has worked without problems. However, more recently I experience frequent short time loss of the tv sound. It will usually come back automatically after 5-10 secs but sometimes I need to use the tv volume control. Any suggestions to solve this? My Sonos Beam is coupled to my LG tv (LG47LA740V) through a HDMI Arc cable.

Another crappy BBQ.  Thanks guys.

Hi, new sonos app was just installed on my android. It is a mess, half of the services won't work, can't find the other half. Design is chaotic. Had my favourite radio stations on top, now they are mixed and hidden somewhere. How do i revert to the old version?

Hello, I have what seems to be a common complaint, no rear channel sound when playing stereo (not Spatial Audio or Dolby Atmos audio) Here’s two previous questions.  My system is: Apple TV LG OLED screen Sonos ARC Sonos Sub3 2 Sonos Era 100 for the rear channelThe system works wonderfully for movies and Spatial Audio from the Apple TV. When I AirPlay from my iPhone to the Sonos it also works wonderfully, giving me “fake” surround sound on the rear channels.What we want is rear channel sound when playing stereo music from the Apple TV.The surround setting is “Full” not Ambient, turning this on and off doesn’t affect the sound all.Note, following the tip in the first question I can get rear channel music by turning the “TV Level” slider to max. This really isn’t a solution since spatial audio is now wrong, it is just plain stereo sound.Thanks!      

I have an extensive Sonos playlist that I built from my Apple Music Library.  Today, I went to add a track to the playlist, and when i highlight the song, the list of options does not include adding it to the playlist.  How do I get new music on the playlist?

my music keeps going on and off on my speakers but on the sonos app its showing the song playing but there is no sound on any of my 5 speakers… anyone get the same issues? I use it with Apple Music 

Since Friday 6th a new update has been available for the Sonos Arc but it always fails with the error code 30 or 1000I am located in Japan and other customers from Japan seem to experience the same thing for one week without any result.Support is not helpful and I tried everything from other topics and support pageshttps://en.community.sonos.com/topic/show?tid=6897049&fid=229129https://support.sonos.com/article/error-30-when-updating-sonos# I can not update my Sonos Arc, and so I can not link back by surround speakers.Sonos support is terrible and it is a shame that simple thing as updating a device should be seamless. 

Like a lot of people I have not been happy with the new Sonos application. I decided to start downgrading my connect amps to the S1. Upon doing this, I use Apple Music and every tab works fine except playlist. When I go into playlist, they are all there, but all of them are missing their names. Everything is blank on the playlist tab except there are obviously separate playlist.   When I click on one the songs are there, but the name of the playlist is not at the top. The tracks are playing and I can see the name of the tracks. I am unable to to determine the name of the playlist out of many of them.   Is this a problem on my end or is what has become of Apple Music on the s1 application? Thank you.
