Fix & Optimize

From one week, I ask Alexa for radio (TuneIn) and music (Apple Music), Alexa answers OK, but these servicies don’t work  

I know there have been a few posts on Google Nest WiFi Pro mesh setups but not seen any definitive answers.  I have installed the mesh WiFi and whilst the Sonos speaker (S1) seems to have found and connected to the network (e.g. I can use Alexa and start internet radio) the Sonos app does not show any connected speakers.   Has anyone managed to get Sonos working with Nest WiFi Pro? I do not have the option to connect via a wire or use the original router as it’s too far away - it needs to connect wirelessly to the Nest access point. 

Will Sonos Play 5 Gen 1 still connect? Or is there no longer any current software to support it?

I have a new router and all my equipment switched but not Sonos Speakers.  I uninstalled it then re-installed now you can’t get it to open.  This is awful.

It’s been months, and honestly since the app update, the app will show the music is playing but there is no audio coming out. I have to group the speakers to get the audio to start playing again and then after a few hours the audio will stop again.  I’ve re set, re booted, changed the wifi, re set the wifi, re downloaded the app, alternated the wifi channels on the app, sent diagnostics, asked for help in the chat and nothing has resolved. I’ve never had this issue but for months I cannot get them to consistently play anymore.  Chat keeps telling me “everything shows it’s up to date and fine” but it’s been not working for a while and I’m out of ideas. Any one else have similar issue? 

The option to select ‘My music’ from my own music library has disappeared from the Sonos app.  I can no longer find my own music library.

Can I connect my SL1200 sects to my Sonos system

I am an old guy so have mercy.  I finally retired my Playbar and bought the Arc Ultra and I am having trouble hooking up my older Sub 2.  I can add it to the system and I get the chime but no sound at all from the Sub. I have tried all the usual things I can think of, update the speaker, Wi-Fi on and off, Ethernet cable plugged-in or not, remove the sub and reconnect, etc. Nothing brings the sub to life.  I would appreciate any suggestions anyone can offer me.  Ill try anything once and if it sounds or feels good, more than that.Thanks

I’m trying to set up a gen 1 play:1 to a new wifi. Have factory reset and followed every step numerous times. It connects to the wifi but won’t register to my account. Can anyone help please? It’s been 10 days without music in a new town :(

How do I see my battery amount when I'm connected via Bluetooth with no network connection. 

Hi,I became unable to play music through to my Living Room setup - and upon further inspection discovered both of the Sonos One SL’s had somehow disconnected from the system. After power cycling multiple times, and trying to remove them as a pair (I got an error saying I was unable to), I factory reset them.  now:The unpaired live in parallel rooms. However, checking the original room;They’ve magically “reappeared”, both existing in the original room, and outside of them. Trying to add them as a pair gives me the error they’re already in use, trying to remove them as a pair gives there error:  I can’t play music to the room anymore, but the Arc and Sub function through my TV. So now I’ve got schroedinger’s surround speakers, both existing and not at the same time app, iOS, everything is up to date. If anyone can give me a suggestion that doesn’t involve me having to factory reset the entire system like it seems I have to once a quarter?

Last week, for about the 20th time in 2 years, my Sonos Play1 wouldn’t work.  App did nothing.  I tried to update the app, nothing.  I saw there was a new app, so I downloaded that. Tried to re-pair my speaker or whatever, nothing.  Then suddenly it works.  No problem.  Everything fine.  I think finally, a new app, this will be better.Today, nothing.  NOTHING.  Tried to re-set it, won’t work.  Won’t recognize it.  I’ve spent hours on this.  SO frustrated.  The speaker sounds great when it’s work (which is only maybe 50-60% of the times I’ve tried to use it).  Bluetooth would be so much easier!

I have a 4 yr old Sonos system. It includes two One SLs,. two Connects and two Connect amps. The amps are for non-Sonos speakers. I'm running S1 OS . I was going to buy additional One SLs from e-bay, but from what I've read, it seems I can't add another 4 yr.old One SL. Is that true? Could I add a non-SL One? Because my system is 4 yrs. old, I didn't want to cause any compatibilty issues by upgrading to the S2 OS. What should I use for the additional speakers?

Hello everyone,Hoping to get some help here as I think I’ve tried everything I can to be able to add more surround speakers to my surround.  I have the Center (Arc), Sub (Mini) and 2 (Era 100s).Id like to have just 2 more additional Era 100s for more rear sounds but I can’t get them to add and sync up.   Any advice/help on this?  Thanks in advance.  Setup looks like this currently:                                    Center  Era1                     ((      Couch      ))   Sub Mini            Era1                   **Era1                       **Era1             **Are what I’d like to add to my current setup.  

Is anyone else experiencing a slow startup with their Sonos app? 

It testing a Sonos setup for our new workboat and before installing I set it up on the floor to make sure it all works. The inside is being driven by 1 Amp and 2 Sonos ceiling speakers plus a sub. The Sonos ceiling speakers I just sat on the floor when testing. When I turned the volume up over 40% the speakers made a bad banging sound and the woofer seemed to be going crazy bouncing back in forth. It was the bass but it sounded awful. Once I went to 25% volume the bass sounded normal. I was wondering if this because they need to be in a void to sound correct. I want to know before we go ahead and cut holes in the roof of the boat if this is likely normal because they’re not in an enclosed void or if possible there’s a default. Was surprised how bad they sounded for expensive speakers. Wires were all red to red and black to black, 12 gauge. I have Sonos play 5 etc at home and they sound incredible hence why I pretty disappointed when testing these ceiling speakers on the floor. 

I am writing to express my frustration and disappointment with the latest update of your app. Since the update, I have encountered numerous issues that have severely disrupted my experience:Speaker Detection Issues: The app intermittently fails to detect my speakers. They appear and disappear at random, making it impossible to manage them effectively. Grouping Problems: When I try to split the music in one room from the group, the remaining speakers stop working and cannot be re-grouped. This has rendered the multi-room functionality unusable. Playback Failures: None of the speakers will play music after attempting to manage them through the app. App Connectivity: The app frequently loses connection with the speakers and is unable to detect them again.Moreover, the support wait times are exceedingly long, often over 70 minutes, and the chat support has not been helpful in resolving these issues. This situation is unacceptable and has caused significant inconvenience.I urge you to provi

Hi,After spending more than two hours with Sonos ‘tech support’ and being shunted to Windows 11 tech support between the two, I am frustrated by Sonos in general, and my issue remains. I have many Sonos components that work well on my Android Galaxy S22. Sonos on my PC does not load. I have uninstalled the application using Windows uninstall and also using Advanced Uninstaller Pro 13. I’ve deleted the Sonos folder at ‘Local Disk (C:)/Program Files (x86)/Sonos’ and even tried manually deleting the folder's content. After all the uninstalls, I restart my machine. Also, I ran Win11_24H2_English_x64.iso, then reinstalled Sonos for Windows from the support page - Sonos_81.1-58074.exe.After doing this sequentially several times, I end with the same result. I have a shortcut on the desktop, a Sonos icon in my Start Menu, and a Sonos.exe file in ‘Local Disk (C:)/Program Files (x86)/Sonos’. The PC does not respond, and for the Sonos.exe, I receive an error message stating, “Windows cannot find

I am struggling to get my new sinks speakers to link with my Brennan 2 via Bluetooth

When I start playing music a circular ring begins to animate around the pause icon and after it completes a full circle the music stops. This is obviously some sort of timer function that I never turned on and don’t know how to turn it off. Does anyone know what this is?  

Hello everyone my question is so in one room i have 2x sonos five and sonos ultra plus sub 4 but i noticed as soon i turn on sub 4 , my fives stops giving bass,  so what i did , i unpaired sonos fives and added room 1 random even if they are in same room then playing music through same chanel instead of surround i have separated them  but if i want to have two profiles one for music like this and one for movies as stereo is it possible to do that? Instead of every time connecting fives to room 1 ? Like switching between profiles? Lets say one profile is stereo and second profile is surround. As i notice when i do so os separately bass improves twice so for me for music sounds like i have two sub4 otherwise if i use surrounds fives stops giving bass and reduces bass so much 

Hi, I just replaced my old Xfinity internet with AT&T fiber.  I’m using the same WiFi, a LinkSys Velop mesh system.  All me devices connected fine, but my Sonos Connects steadfastly refuse to connect.  I’ve rebooted, unplugged and replugged, cycled the modem and router, nothing.  My Play 1s connect fine.  Ideas?
