I have several gen 1 sonos play5 speakers but  some have damaged mesh on the front. Is there a way or guide how to replace that mesh? Where can I find a replacements mesh?Any advice would be helpful.thanks.

I have Sonos Move speakers, they're not working. The LED is always solid red, not blinking. I already replaced the battery with a new one and it's still the same. I've tried several reset methods and nothing works. I really don't want to lose this speaker. Any recommendations other than buying a new one, okay?

Hi. I would like to check the remaining warranty on a preowned Sonos product, and also whether that warranty will pass to me if I buy the product - many thanks 

I have Sonos Beam (gen 1) running thru Sony Bravia TV (uses Android, very awkward) with speakers in multiple rooms.  Want to add Roku Ultra streaming device so TV and streaming is simpler to operate. Anyone have  experience, feedback, etc. is welcome using Roku w/existing Sonos setup?   

Hi everyone, I use both Apple Music and I listen a lot to podcasts via Apple Podcasts. For Apple Music I most of the time use the Sonos App (because of the streaming quality and direct streaming). For podcast I obviously  use AirPlay 2 from my iPhone (iPhone 16 - iOS 26). I’ve read a few articles on AirPlay, including on this forum, and I was wondering which are the best practices. In this support article they say: Select one or more Sonos products to stream the same audio across all of them using AirPlay. But in some posts and articles I read it’s better to do grouping an ungrouping via the Sonos App (all my speakers are AirPlay 2-compatible). My question:Is it better to just initiate the AirPlay 2 stream and then switch back to Sonos App for other controls (grouping and ungrouping, volume) or does it make no difference anymore if using the controls from iOS).  What is the difference between grouping with iOS and with Sonos? 

I’ve had my Sonos Roam SL for a few years now and surprisingly with no issues just minor quirks. Well, over the holidays I bought the dual port compact 35W Apple charger, and started experiencing some weird behavior. When I plug in the cable (I’ve tried a few genuine Apple USB-C-USB-C cables with the same result), the Roam continuously flashes orange. In the app, the Roam also shows a flashing charging symbol in sync with the flashing light. Interestingly, the Roam still charges to 100% eventually, but it keeps flashing the entire time. Most annoying of all though, is that if I turn the Roam off after plugging it in, it soon turns itself back on, as it would if you were to plug it in when it is turned off. So the power supply to the Roam just seems to be cycling with the dual port charger...My first thought was that it could be a counterfeit charger, but it appears to be a genuine Apple charger. It is rated for 5V/3A, among others, and is quite clearly USB PD rated. Until now, I’ve kep

Please please please add the ability to schedule night mode and enhanced speech mode on my Sonos. This request has been made so many times I can't believe Sonos has not implemented this yet.  If this is too hard to build into your app then please build a native integration with Slmartthings that allows me to set a routine to do the same. 

Last year I purchased a Firewalla Gold Firewall and split my network into several VLANS. Amongst others, I have a dedicated VLAN assigned to my Sonos Connect amplifiers and another VLAN for user WIFI. My Sonos appliances are mostly connected with Cat 6. Some are connected over WIFI. One way traffic is enabled between the WIFI VLAN and the Sonos VLAN. I also have a Sonos Bridge on the network. This setup has been working well for about a year.Recently I purchased a couple of new Sonos Connect (app V1) amplifiers. I am able to find them on the Sonos App but when I press the button(s) on the appliance to complete the setup, nothing happens. It seems like some traffic is being blocked but I don’t know what or where. I have enabled bi-directional traffic between the WIFI and Sonos VLANs but that did not help. mDNS relay and SSDP relay are enabled on both networks.Does anyone know what happens when you press the physical button(s) on the Sonos connect once the device is ready to be added to

la aplicacion no funciona, compre un sonos amp y un sub y no me daja agregarlos, por lo que no se pueden configurar, entonces no los puedo usar, vendo e instala estos equipos, con estas fallas ya es mejor no venderlo a menos que alla una solucion ahora  Moderator Note: Google Translate - The app isn't working. I bought a Sonos amp and a subwoofer, and it won't let me add them, so they can't be configured and therefore I can't use them. I sell and install this equipment, but with these problems, it's better not to sell it unless there's a solution now.

Hi thereNo doubt a similar question has been asked before, but I can’t find the exact scenario so I would be grateful for any input.I currently have a Samsung 85” frame TV which is connected to a Sonos amp (using HDMI).  This is powering two in-wall speakers which are at the front either side of the TV.  I wanted to create a surround sound/home theater setup, so a smart home guy I know said to buy a sub and two Era 300 speakers.  However, having messed around with it you can’t seem to do Sonos surround sound unless you have a Ray, Beam or Arc.If I used grouping to group the amp and two speakers together, you get an echo/delay with the audio which is not nice and I think, having gone on this journey, is to be expected.So the question is without completely writing off my amp and in-wall speakers is there any way to create a surround sound/home theater setup using Sonos?  I could buy a Ray, Beam or Arc but then I’ve read you can’t have that doing your front speakers as well as the amp pow

Two basic questions (that will help me navigate Sonos App with my 65 y/o brain).Is there ONE instructions manual I can print out explaining the Sonos app.? I am getting lost as I search the app. when navigating little tasks like sync sound for TV. - I’ve seen it in the ap. but how to noe find it…  (Maybe it’s my 65 y/o brain). What is the simplest way to search and find answers to simple “how to” questions? e.g. “how to lift sub volume..”

Arc Ultra -adding 2 Era100 as surrounds.  Added to system no problem.  Select setup surrounds - seems to work but when finished  the 2 ‘100s show as ‘not connected”if I remove the surrounds they don’t come back into the system and I have to restore and add to system.   is this normal? Surrounds are not available for music and only for television maybe ??Router is a sophos and part of my work from home system.  Maintained by my IT guys and not something easily configured.

I’ve had two Era 100s in a stereo pair, and I regularly AirPlay content from Apple Music on iOS or macOS. I love them a lot but one problem that’s persisted for the couple of years I’ve owned them is that after playing music for an hour or so, the audio on one of the two starts to fall out of sync, becoming delayed from the other speaker. This gradually increases if I don’t do anything, creating more and more of an “echo” sound.If I pause the playing music and play again, it syncs the speakers immediately. I have the speakers connected to Ethernet using the 3.5mm/Ethernet USB-C adapter.Is there not a way to have a gradual drift correction software-side to sync the speakers every so often without it being perceptible? 

Hello, I have my turntable connected to my Era 100 speakers through the official Sonos 3.5mm to USB-C adapter. The issue I have is it's doesn’t automatically detect and connect to the line in when I play music to it. If I disconnect and reconnect the USB part of the adapter, it detects it and switches to it like it should. Any ideas why it doesn't detect it automatically without reseating the adapter?

My Spotify and TV systems are spotty at best throughout my home.  Some speakers show up in Sonos with a checkmark next to them, but don’t show a volume control.  I have an Eero Pro 7 mesh system, so it’s not my network strength.  Does anyone have any advice? Thank you. 

Airplay wont work in era 100 from windows pc itunes, but airplay works from iphone and other airplay devices work from pc.

have 2 identical connect:amp, and 1 will not show up on the sonos app. help ??

Hi there,  I have a Sonos move 1 and i've been using it with much joy. But since a week or so I've had troubles with playing music with google assistant on my move. I have re-synced my sonos with the assistant in the Sonos app AND i've reconnected the Sonos app in my Google Home. (Done this twice now)Everytime I ask it to play it says:'’Sorry, I can't do that on this device'’ When playing music from the Sonos app I can in fact skip songs, lower volume or stop the music.  I've called support and they told me they can't help me, because I've done the steps they would do.  Does someone know how to make it work again. 

again Problem with voice commands , now at this moment I can not use voice controll  with google assist , no controll on my home right now again , why buy a expensive beam while a 30 euro google device works fine , why every time update beam with so many issues 

My client has 6 Pandora accounts. In 4 different states. Occasionally, one of them played the "someone else is listening to your music" and shuts down the Pandora. Nothing else in the planet is playing that account number. I've talked to Pandora and they are clueless. Does anyone have any ideas what's going on? Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct. 

My installer says I won’t get surround sound with my setup of Arc Ultra, the newest Amp just purchased, and two surround ceiling speakers. He claims I will only get sound through the ceiling speakers. Any insight?

I have a Sony AF8 TV, a Sonos Arc soundbar, and I use an Apple TV as my only source.The issue is not the soundbar, but the audio handling of the Sony AF8.When I start or switch apps on the Apple TV (Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, etc.), the TV often loses the HDMI ARC audio connection.This leads to problems like:no sound when an app starts sound randomly disappearing sound coming only from the TV speakers audio sometimes coming back after returning to the Apple TV home screen frequent audio / format info pop-ups on the TV Video is always fine, but the audio connection over ARC is unstable.The Sony AF8 seems to struggle with modern Apple TV audio formats (LPCM, multichannel PCM, Dolby Atmos over DD+/MAT) when passing them through ARC to the Sonos Arc.In short:The ARC implementation on the Sony AF8 is unreliable with Apple TV → Sony AF8 → Sonos Arc.The TV works as a display, but fails as a stable audio hub. What I already tried to mitigate the issue:Forcing Dolby Digital 5.1 instead of a
