Fix & Optimize

I am having problems with my Sonos one speakers having a delay from the sound coming from the soundbar.

Suddenly the Android app just spinns and says "something went wrong". When i play from my Mac through AirPlay, everything is ok. I have restarted router, re-installed app and i see my speakers in the app, but it just spinns.  Thanks for help and advice. 

I know there has been some problems - to put it mildly - but in October 2024 is anyone else STILL getting regular drop out when playing music? I get regular moments of silence in the middle of songs and it’s REALLY frustrating that it hasn’t been sorted yet. Ive got Sonos Ones (x6) - don’t think it matters but some are One SLs I’m on app version 80.09.08 Software is on automatic updates and all speakers are up to date.  Any help would be appreciated.

This issue had been going on for several years now, and happens in two different houses with different network systems (although the networks have the same name and password for convenience).Both systems are made of several play 1s and several One SL, one also has an old playbase grouped with two play 1s. Some units are in pairs, some are standalone. In each house the system has at least one speaker connected via Ethernet, I kept wifi activated on the speakers. Both wifi are mesh systems with several repeaters (google mesh in one, different brand in the other).Whenever I try to adjust the volume or change songs with the Sonos app (android or iOS, latest version at the time of writing), it works instantly when controlling One SLs but takes 10+ seconds to react with the Play 1s, making them unusable. The same issue happens when they're directly playing from the Spotify app. If I use voice command via a Google home unit, the Play 1s react immediately, which tells me there's nothing wrong

Sonos had been doing well with a Connect:AMP unit, but then started to drop out. I unplugged the AMP and plugged it back in, and now it is off the network. The Android app I have is 80.09.04-release+20240917.6a71457I have a pair of left and right Play:1’s and they work fine. I have a Roam SL and it works fine. The Connect:AMP shows up in it, but every time a try to play something, I get “Something went wrong.”  So what went wrong? How can I find out?  

SENT TO CEO@SONOS.COM  I have never been a litigious person in my life but I think I would join in a class action suit against Sonos for What you have done to your users with this new app.  You have breached your agreement and trust with customers Rendering in many cases, thousands of dollars of expensive equipment virtually useless.  Why in Gods name did you make a major change to an app that has caused such confusion and operational problems.   First you introduced it no option of retaining the older app which worked just fine.  Then you admitted terrible operational errors that needed multiple fixes and to this day doesnt work well.  My music services cut out unexpectedly without recovering. Some of my speakers need multiple restarts to connect. There are substantial connection delays.  I have changed channels.  rebooted systems multiple times. And called support (who by the way admits there are many many complaints).  Whoever is responsible for this massive error should be fired an

Depuis que j'ai rajouté de la musique sur mon NAS Synology, presque la moitié de ma bibliothèque est diffusée avec un son haché ou des interruptions. Si je diffuse dans une seule pièce c'est un peu mieux, pas idéal, mais si je le fais dans 2 ou 3 pièces c'est impossible alors que tout était parfait avant. La diffusion de radios ne pose aucun problème Merci! Moderator Edit: Google Translate- Since I added music to my Synology NAS, almost half of my library is playing with choppy sound or interruptions. If I broadcast in one room it's a little better, not ideal, but if I do it in 2 or 3 rooms it's impossible even though everything was perfect before. Radio broadcasting poses no problem Thanks!

Hello, I get the following error: “Your system cannot connect to content”. I tried to restart the speaker and the app, but nothing changed. It works to play from airplay, but not from the app. Please let me know what could I do.  Thank you,Stefan 

Dear Sonos team,i placed the Sub Gen 3 in the corner between the wall and the TV cabinet. The distance between the TV stand and the wall is 43.5 cm. In practice, the Sub is positioned in the center of that distance. Is the position correct? Or is it better to always keep it in that space but a little more towards the outside? So that the two acoustic ports of the sub have a little more "breath".However i am very happy with how the sub works, the bass is spectacular.Good job

So with the new app, i lost my whole system. I managed to add everything again except for the Sub. The app recognizes it on the network but crashes after 2 seconds when trying to add it, already factory resetted it. What to do?  

I have a solid red status light on ARC after update.Reboot and attempt at factory reset have the same result. 2 slow white flashes on the status light followed by the speaker light flash, this sequence loops a few times then solid red.I have tried factory reset with ethernet cable connected as well. SONOS chat support was not help after 2 hrs waiting for responses. any help please??  

Hi,Heave anybody the same problems with multible Spotify streams?It has already worked all the time since i have the sonos systems over many years.I use a premium Spotify account.Best regards.Berni

Hey guys,I have just bought a Sonos Amp and have connected my record player to it via the RCA outputs, I’m just wondering if I can also connect my cd player? Is it possible to use an HDMI cable from the HDMI output on the Amp then attach a Sonos Optical Audio Adapter which then plugs into the Optical output of the cd player?Thanks!

Okay, this is going to be long. Like many of you I have hit the wall on the NAS issue.  Don’t let them lie to you about SMB.  It is 100% about indexing.Normal folder structure of Artist/Album/Song craps out quickly.  The meta-data is just too large for the crappy app So I copied songs individually to folders.  First couple of folders could do about 1000 songs. Works perfect. Can index these songs. If you do more than that it fails.  So this is a VOLUME issue, not a SMB issue So I created a few more Folders with 1000 or so songs in them and was able to index those.  Fine By the time I was at 5 Folders, needed few and few songs per folder Stupid, terrible, unfriendly app craps out at 16 folders (hard max) I can’t prove it, but it seems like things loaded better if I cleaned up some special characters that were part of the song names.So I can get roughly 9,000 of my 22,000 songs into SONOS.In the mean time, the help chat continues to spread the lie that this is about SMB.  If that was tru

Sonos Sux so much. Just wondering how it couldbget SO bad? I mean this thing is SO clunky. Who the f*** designed this app? Some f***ng moron. Really hate it. Would never use it again. F*** Sonos. *Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.*  

Yesterday I made these stupid idea to remove alexa from all of my devices and de- register them and remove them from my Amazon account. I did this because I was struggling getting alexa “dot” devices to work alongside the system like they used to. I figured I would try to troubleshoot it myself and get myself in a hole.Now I am trying to re-add all of my speakers, and only the Sonos beam and one of my Sonos‘s “one” speakers re-added alexa to them. The rest, including “move”, “arc”, other play “one”s will not add alexa.I enter into the Sonos app and click on “arc” for example, and it will be non-clickable and will say “alexa already added“. Alexa is not working on this device and it does not voice prompt. I know other users have had the same problem, but I have not seen a solution. Anyone have a solution to this? i’ll call Sonos later, but I’m not going to be home for a while so I can’t mess with the system. 

Well after investing probably circa £2k on Sonos speakers over the years I’m left completely exasperated by the utter uselessness of the black app.    It is truly shocking by comparison to the rust coloured app that preceded it.  It cuts out all the time, stops working when it feels like it, and changes songs midway through.  What a great update Sonos team……errr I don’t think so.   What has angered me most is the removal of the ability to add songs your currently playing to your own playlist.  Call me old fashioned but in any music app surely the first thing is should do is allow you to add to your own playlist. Not a bloody Sonos one that doesn’t even work correctly. All the decent functionality was removed and replaced with utter crap.  What I really don’t understand is how the tech people and the board are still in office.  Yes the CEO wrote out to say sorry but didn’t you consult your client base first.  Surely the first rule in business is to meet the needs of your customers. Had

We were promised a fix in September, what is the target date for a fix? This is really bad escape defect.  We have waited over 4 months!

Today, my app tells me that I need to reauthorize the TuneIn app because account access has expired.  I follow the simple on screen process that takes me to the TuneIn website to authorise the connection but I get a message saying the pairing didn't work"Something went wrong when trying to pair to your Sonos System.Please return to the Sonos app and try again using the same credentials."Anyone know how to fix this?Thanks

I have had Sonos for a decade.  4 amps, a sub, multiple Play:1’s, Play 3, It went from one of my favorite products … so intuitive, so easy.  After all the upgrades, the app is impossible to use, the speakers for my tv work for 10 seconds then stop working for 3 seconds.  If I didn’t have so much invested in the system, I’d throw it out.  DO NOT BUY ANY SONOS PRODUCT UNTIL IT IS FIXED.

i’ve spent the last 2,5 hours trying to get apple music working inside of the sonos app (i’ll leave the new app with all it’s flaws for another day). with how difficult it is to get it to work i feel it’s actively trying to prevent from using apple music inside of the sonos app, there’s no other way to conclude. everytime i try to sign in it downright refuses to get the authorization in. Everything from changing the DNS to rebooting router, the sonos system itself, trying an android device and the thought of factory resetting my entire account has driven me to the forum. i’m out of suggestions for what i could try. at what time frame can we expect somewhat of a usable state of the app and all features that used to exist? 

Bonjour, comment démarré toutes les enceintes en une fois avec le téléphone pour la télévision ? à chaque fois les enceintes s'arrêtent. Moderator Edit: Google Translate- Hello, how do I start all the speakers at once with the phone for the television? each time the speakers stop.

Hey. Is there a way to remote turn on/off the lamp in IKEA Symfonisk? Or do I have to do it using the button on the lamp/loudspeaker?
