Fix & Optimize

The search function doesn’t work in the new app, all services seems to be up and running. Tried everything, uninstall/install of app, reboot of network. The search function is working fine on my iPad with the old app (orange one). Anybody knows how to fix this?

No clue how to delete this topic or my account. More user friendliness 

I have an 5 year old Sony Bravia, XBR-65X810C/55X810C TV.  I connected a new Sonos Beam 2 speaker to the HDMI arc port .  Now, every time I turn on the TV, the tv ‘re-boots’ itself.  This of course takes a minute to complete, then the tv turns on, and all seems normal.  Why the re-boot?

Subs will not register with system I have factory reset them still doesn’t work 

How do you control the volume on the 300 without raising the volume on the sound bar at the same time?

Message saying I must reauthorize Sirius but I keep getting an error when I try.

The new design is not user-friendly:To play a radio station, I have to 1) click on Sonos Favorites, 2) click on Stations: View All (pointless), 3) scroll through a bunch of large unalphabetized images to find my station (hassle), 4) click on my station, 5) (and then the kicker) still have to click on Play! I should be able to just 1) click on a tab or Sonos Favorites and get an alphabetized view of the small icons (so one small scroll will show all of them), and 2) click on the station to make it play -- DONE. The info for the station should be a 3rd click. It makes no sense station info would take priority over play and cause an extra click EVERY TIME you play the station. All of this makes it incredibly labor intensive to flip through stations. Recently Added for Favorites should be something I can turn off, minimize, or move out of sight. I have it on the Home page already, and yet it’s right on top of all my stations every time? I should be able to just stay on my Sonos Favorites p

I’ve spent thousands over the last few years on Sonos equipment, which decides to randomly stop working whenever it likes. Has anyone switched to a better product? Any recommendations?

This morning my app is not seeing any components.  The app looks weird. I rebooted my android but it didn’t help. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it didn’t help. I never have trouble using my system.  I added my pair of playone speakers with the app via Bluetooth but they indicate “not connected”.   I am out of things to try.

Hii just installed a new BT wireless router but have been unable to connect it my existing Connect Amp wirelessly   I can get Spotify to work with the Connect Amp if it is connected directly to my router with an Ethernet cable.   The Sonos system did a software update on the Connect Amp and now tells me that it is App S2 compatible but still will doesn’t connect over Wi-Fi.  Any assistance would be much appreciated.TIA   COLIN 

While trying to connect a new play 1 it first requires a software upgrade, however the upgrade process fails

Hi, i just bought a beam gen2 and it won’t update and show in the application.I can see when i want to configure it for the first time but after it connect to wifi they tell me code error 1101.And even after this it won’t show in the application.I need help. Thank you.

Am I missing something here or is it impossible to click on a song while browsing an Amazon playlist to immediately have it start playing?  If so, how did this simple feature get overlooked. Like seriously? You have a system you need to control using an app, your app should work flawlessly. Seriously get a new app team cause your current team sucks. 

the app says: Unfortunately, a connection is not possible. Please try again later.when trying to add a speaker to an other group of speaker; all play together for years now;never had these problems in the old app; seems to be a step back … ?

Every time i use Sonos and i pair it say its paired but i go to check and it says I haven’t paired it so i went to Sonos s1 to update it so it asks for my email i give it as soon as I finish it asks for it again 

I tried the newish Sonos voice assistant and gave up on it. It was randomly hearing things from my tv and suddenly playing music. I tried using it when I got the Era 300. I already had Alexa set up. So I had both turned on for a bit. Turned off the Sonos voice assistant and at some point noticed that one of my speakers no longer worked with Alexa and the microphone would not turn on. When I go into settings to add Alexa it says it’s already added to that speaker. And yet when I go to the voice assistant settings, it only lists some of my other speakers. It shows I could remove Alexa from those but it does not show me the speaker that is malfunctioning. I have tried resetting the speaker. No luck. I also just now realized that while Alexa works fine on my bedroom pair, that pair is not listed in the Alexa settings in the Sonos app. It has Kitchen and Media Room but not the Bedroom pair or the malfunctioning Bathroom speaker. How do I fix this? Are some of my Sonos speakers too old now t

Hi I moved homes and set up (a subset of) my Sonos devices again as a new system.  When I left my previous place I hadn’t disconnected the app / passed on ownership of previous system etc. ie had just packed the hardware and turned up at new place to install.The products are all working fine but my previously connected music services (Spotify and Apple Music) have disappeared from the app. They don’t appear in the app or in the search function. I am on iOS.  I have tried the following alreadyReset app delete and reinstall app install app on different phone  try the mac app shut of system + router and restart add a new service (thought old ones might just reappear)I am on the latest app / OS. Any one else have a similar issue ?

Hi everyone. I recently bought a Netgear Nighthawk CAX80 and am trying to set up a Play 3 as well as several Play 1 speakers with it. I did a factory reset on all my Sonos products and made sure they had the latest updates. Sonos apps are current as well on both Android and Iphone.I plugged my Play 3 into the Nighthawk via Ethernet. My phone (on wireless network via the same router) recognized it and set it up no problem. I can operate it as long as it is connected to Ethernet. But as soon as I disconnect cable the music stops, so clearly it is not connecting wirelessly.I went to “Manage Network” in the app, but as soon as I do that it instructs me to hold my phone next to the Sonos device so that it can recognize it. As best as I know, the Play speakers don’t have Bluetooth, so obviously this is futile.There doesn’t seem to be any way to access an actual network configuration over the app. What am I doing wrong? Shouldn’t the Play get all the necessary information to connect wirelessl

I have a large local mp3 music library, shared over SMB and set up in sonos (android app). With the old app (before the disaster upgrade) I could browse by folder and random/shuffle play an entire folder with all its contents/subfolders. I have my music sorted in folders hierachically, by country / genre / artist and I used this random play functionality all the time.In the new app all this functionality was gone, along with a lot of other essential functionality. I reverted back to the last old android app version, disabled auto update, and I was able to enjoy all those features. For a while.But suddenly (today, returning after a holiday) the old app did not work at all anymore. “An app upgrade was required” and nothing at all worked so I was *forced* to upgrade. This did not make me happy because I used to have everything working just how I liked it with the old version.I was a bit relieved when I discovered that my media library was accessible in the new app, including the browse by

I’ve spent 4 days reconnecting 2 play ones to playbar to create surround sound, it’s been frustrating to put it mildly!. Now my tv isn’t connected and I’m losing the will to carry on. I don’t want to lose what I’ve already done but how can II connect up to tv (Hisense) please??

After the horrendous recent update, which completely lost my local music library, I checked the Sonos update page (https://support.sonos.com/en-us/article/the-new-sonos-app-and-future-feature-updates), and among the supposed (Allegedly)features available as of May 21 2024, it listed “Improved Local Music Library playback of foldersConsidering that I couldn't access my library at all,  I wondered what possible improvement there was, so I had an online chat with tech support. They seemed as though they had never heard of anyone having this problem, which was amazing to me as it is all over the forums and on the Internet, so I'm not alone. I submitted diagnostics as requested, and their response was  that it was due to a "legacy share" support link, and referred me to this Apple link: How to disable SMB 1 or NetBIOS in macOSLearn how to disable SMB 1 or NetBIOS to prevent failover.https://support.apple.com/en-us/102050The page also mentions "This article is intended for enterprise and edu

I currently have a Beam 2, and my tv I have doesn’t support Dolby Atmos.Iv seen that the Amazon fire stick 4K max supports Dolby Atmos.  so my question is how would I set it up so that I can use the fire stick and beam to have Dolby Atmos. Do I need to get something to connect between the 2. Iv seen that Dolby Atmos doesn’t work with Bluetooth and just plugging them both into the tv, brings me back to square one.I have not bought the fire stick, so any other suggestions would be appreciated. Other than buying a new tv.   

When will Sonos either: retract this last release and restore to the last version that worked or Fix ALL the bugs and problems?I have never in the last 25 years seen such a complete mess rolled out to customers. This new app doesn’t work as well as the very first release Complete garbage.
