Fix & Optimize

What is the issue with Sonos and high end products?  Sonos will not work with Starlink and it will not work with Apple’s Siri! These are two cutting edge technologies, why is Sonos not doing anything about supporting these technologies?  I purchased an Arc, 2 of the S1’s and a Sub a few years ago. I recently went from DirectTV to Starlink for my internet service and now all I have for sound is a high dollar sound bar and three other speakers that just collect dust. Come on Sonos, you can do better than this!

Bonjour est il possible de rétrograder mes enceintes sonos play3 de S2 vers S1? Merci Moderator Note - Translation by Google: Hello, is it possible to downgrade my sonos play3 speakers from S2 to S1? THANKS

I can't connect the ace headphones to the Sonos app on android (pixels 7) Any tips?

My saved playlists will not play.

Well thanks Sonos. I can now, after several months, play my music library stored on my Mac but to be fair, the instructions how to do so failed miserably and I had to make it up as I went along.  The hand that giveth also taketh away: the price for this restoration of the original service is that now BBC Sounds will not play. Useless bit of kit in my view.  I would sell my speakers but who would buy them? 

So it’s obvious that Sonos Executives are ignoring the torrents of criticism about the new app, so I want to move forward, and ask if…has anyone found an alternative app that can be used with Sonos equipment? There is no question that the executive know users are currently tied to their Sonos hardware, but there already must be people looking for alternatives to the audio world’s “ New Coke” is anyone currently developing an alternative app that I can sign up for as a Beta tester?   has anyone managed to work out any means of rolling back to the “ old version”? If so, please share details. Again it goes without saying, that if the Sonos executive p/CEO were serious about listening to their user base, they would provide a rollback option, and see how many took it up. The shock would likely cost them their jobs.a final comment. Great strategy by the Sonos executive to edit/censor feedback in this community to focus on one rather trivial shortcoming with the new app, the alarm option. Thi

I am looking to know what is the best way to stream Tidal.  My setup is Sonos Port connected to Marantz amp via coaxial, and Google Pixel 8a.  The Port and Pixel are both on the same WiFi.  I have 3 options to stream Tidal.Open the Sonos App then select Tidal.  If I use this option the quality level of what is being played does not appear.  Also once the stream is started I can turn off my phone and the stream will continue.  This tells me that the Port is connected directly to Tidal. Open the Tidal App, start playing then select Port as the playback device.  This method does show me the stream quality but if I close the Tidal app on the phone the music stops.  It seems that the phone is connected to Tidal then passing it on to Port.  Not sure if the phone can pass the full quality of the stream as option 1 can.Any thoughts on this to backup my thoughts would be appreciated.Another option I have but have not tested is to use HEOS that is built into my amp. 

Our Sonos system and app frequently fails to work in our house. We have excellent WiFi so that is not the issue. It is very frustrating.

There is a weird behavior between my devices.I have a LG OLED65CXAUA tv and a PS5.  They have worked great together for a while.  In the last year I added a Sonos Beam to the tv - it works great for the TV and the PS5, the sound is wonderful. But weirdly, since I added the Sonos Beam, the PS5 will randomly wake up from sleep mode and the TV switches from whatever I was watching to the PS5.  I can switch it back but it is annoying.To be clear on the set up: the Beam and the PS5 are both plugged into the TV.  Any clue on how to stop this? 

Before the app update, I was able to cast Tidal to my Sonos system. I mainly went to all tracks and played on shuffle.But since the update, they no longer play nicely together. They don't even work individually. Both Tidal and Sonos have suffered.I can see the Sonos speakers when go to cast music from Tidal but it only connects for a brief second. Can't be the Tidal app as it can cast to my Chromecast.That's a big problem as the Tidal controls in the new Sonos app lack key functions the old app had- In Tracks, I can no longer play more than one at time. I have to manually add them one by one to the queue or to a playlist. I lost the ability to shuffle all tracks and play which I used ALL THE TIME.- I can no longer add or delete songs to playlists in Tidal from the Sonos app (which is necessary since I can no longer cast from Tidal).- I've also been having issues with Sonos speakers dropping the internet connection that I never used to have I've been patiently waiting for any of these i

I brought my Era 100 to Italy and it worked fine until the ridiculously poor update from Sonos. It doesn't work since the latest software update for which the CEO of the company apologized. What gives? I can connect to the Era 100, but when I select music from Apple Music, it just spins and never stops. The same thing occurred in the U.S. after the software update and them it was corrected. What can I do?

Je me demandais pourquoi youtube prenium ne peut pas jouer sur mon sonos Moderator Note - Translation by Google: i was wondering why youtube premium can't play on my sonos

My tv is connected to my sonos playbar. Its working well.I have the soundlevel set to 70 as I Can manage the soundlevel when watching tv using the remotecontroller.so far so good.when using the playbar connected to Spotify, I turn the soundlevel to a much lower level .when I have switched off Spotify and subsequently want to watch TV, the sound level can only be turned up to the low level at which I listened to Music. cannot therefore be optimized for the sound limit Set for the soundbar in the Sonos app.is there any solution to that problem

Two negative points : - The leather like material is too warm wearing … really not so pleasant wearing it - Two Sonos Ace can not listen together to a movie, I suggest for next buyer to wait this is  just a no go until this feature exists Otherwise  it is fun using it and a nice add on to Sonos movie bar … the idea is great the conception not yet, the high-end look and fealing is enjoyable except theis annoying warm ear sensation when using it 

Hi, I have an existing small multi room setup.I have a Brennan B2 which speaks to Sonos. Sonos system is a portable roam in one room, and a Sonos one in another.I have a bang Olufsen system in another room. I would like the B&o system to appear on the Sonos system so I can send music to it in the same way I can imagine the other rooms.Is this possible? Many thanks.

Since downloading the new app in May, I can no longer listen to a music source through AirPlay in different rooms using a mixture of Sonos airplay and non-AirPlay enabled speakers.  For background:I can still group all my speakers, new and old a listen to music direct from the Sonos app. But if I want to listen to an external source (eg BBC Sounds), I used to AirPlay from the BBC Sounds app to my Sonos Playbase and then group the Playbase to two other older Sonos Play: 1s.  I could then listen to the BBC app on all three speakers. If I try to do this now, the audio only plays on the Playbase.  Even though the three speakers still show as grouped (yellow ticks) on the app only the Playbase has the moving audio bars icon. I can still group the speakers and listen to airplay through the group if I use the Sonos app on my PC which I haven’t updated so I know it’s the new app and not a problem with my setup. I have a single router and two Ethernet access points connected directly to that ro

Hi everybody. Someone offered me a sonos connect yesterday, that he never used. So as it is an old model, i’ve install the S1 apk, made some test and it was working pretty well exept the fact that i couldn’t play an entire folder of music stored on my music server. Then a message appear telling me that i could go for S2 version. So i made the upgrade and download the S2 apk. Only sonos radio appears, no way to make visible my media server, no way to see songs stored on my android device. So i decided to roll back to S1, but every time it fails downgrading. I have reset the connect, the light flash green, i enter the S2 apk and start the downgrade process. It detect my connect and tell me that my connect is ready to be downgraded. I hit the “downgrade button” and a second after, i’ve got a message. An error occured. I really don’t know what to do. HELP pleeeeeaaaaaase !!!!!!

Those Android users unfortunate enough to have installed the v16.3 firmware released on 17 July may have encountered a nasty bug that crashes the app over and over. Thanks to an intrepid detective on Reddit, we’ve narrowed down the bug and identified a weak workaround.The bug causing the crash seems to be triggered by local library music. And the local library music does not need to playing, it simply needs to be in the queue of the currently selected Sonos device.So if you are encountering this bug and your Android app is stuck crashing ...Using a functioning controller* clear the queuesⵜ on all Sonos devices Start Android app, everything works! Play streaming source, everything works! Play local library music, BOOM CRASH BOOM… hence “weak workaround” as local library music in your queue will continue to crash the app.* Desktop app and Web app work particularly wellⵜ or replace the queues with streaming musicSide note: this bug is not limited to Samsung devices, tho’ it may not impact

Sonos Radio and TuneIn doesn’t work after the “May update”. I have to Reauthorize both but with TuneIn I get an error and with Sonos Radio a timeout…I have installed the old app and with the old app radios are working fine, “updated” again the app and radio doesn’t work.Anyone could Reauthorize Sonos Radio or TuneIn with the new app?

When asked to play the radio I get no response from my Sonos one (gen2). When I ask Spotify to play music I get "sorry that device is off line". I have currently have the Sonos one hardwired to the hub as wifi also now not working. Tried so many things and going around in circles..😬

I’m trying to reset my Sonos play 1 speakers after updating the app. The speakers stopped working the other day and the system disappeared and I was told by the app that I needed to update the app. After updating the app it said it found no system. So I’m trying to connect my speakers again, and resetting them appears to be the only option since the app update doesn’t see any system. After unplugging the speakers, holding the play button down and replugging it in until the light blinks orange. After that, nothing else happens. It never switches to green even after waiting 10 minutes.  I’ve unplugged it and now it just blinks white.   how do I get the system to work again? 

I can't access to sonos system eq through app. It keeps asking me to sign out and sign in, which i did and keeps on repeating same pop up msg. Need help...

I can’t be the only one with this issue.  I have had BEAM + ONE + ONE as my living room setup.  MOVE is in the Bedroom.  Was so happy with this setup.  Never an issue with the SONOs app playing music.  Never an issue with Apple AirPlay playing music or Podcasts.  Mutli room worked awesome.   I added two ERA 100 to my setup as a new room.  Setup as left and right…Very basic and simple.  Ever since I added those two speaker, I have had nothing but issues.  I was told that sonos support acknowledges a bug with airplay and lossless.  One speaker would cut out or both would drop for no reason.  They are still seen on the network, they just stop playing music.  These two speakers are the closest to the router, so it’s not a distance issue.  Not using any voice commands.  I’m relegated to use the sonos app to play multiroom and that sucks ass as well.  I’m lucky to make it through two songs in a playlist without the one or both Era dropping.  I have to go through the app, turn off that room,

About a week or so ago, the following behavior began:If I haven’t watched TV for awhile, and then begin to, there will be no audio.  If I open the app, the Sonos system cannot be found by the app.  Restarting the Sonos system by cycling the power to the Arc restores everything.  Until the next time it happens.Insignia Fire TV w/eARC HDMI connection to SonosSonos is the only HDMI connection, cable is secureMy home network is enterprise grade and rock solidThis began suddenly, I have not made any recent Sonos or network or TV config changes

I have a pair of Play 1s in the office and Apple Music plays fine through those either direct or via Alexa. But I have the same set up in the kitchen and Apple Music only plays through one speaker. I can see no difference in the Sonos app, but Alexa sees Office and Office Sonos, whereas it only sees Kitchen, no Kitchen Sonos. Alexa has created Office Sonos. Any idea what’s going on?
