Fix & Optimize

The alarms were fixed after the app upgrade debacle in 2024, until the latest upstage this week when they've been removed again! (May 2025).The alarm option is still shown in the app but all previously saved alarms have disappeared and you can't save any new alarms you try to create.Even worse, the existing alarms are still in the system somewhere as they still play but there's no way to see, edit, or stop them!!Sonos, please re-fix the alarms! Phantom alarms that still play but we can't edit are a disaster! 

Well the Sonos saga continues. I lost Alexa connectivity a week ago. Since then I've changed broadband provider and router. The usual Sonos nightmare began. Difficulty connecting Sonos One to the new router, 1 still won't connect.Alexa connects, but with no functionality. Won't play radio or music and showing off-line in Alexa app.Why is Sonos such a nightmare to do anything with. I may give up and by a few Alexas and save the hassle.Any ideas????

Play 3 and Play 1 distorted sound is there anything that can be done 

Bravia A95L Sonos Arc Ultra (plugged in to eArc port) 2x Sonos Era 300s as rear left and right Sonos Sub AppleTV 4k & PS5 For the past year I’ve been having this weird issue after waking my TV and playing content. The only audio I'd hear would be coming from the Arc, but it's just the rear channels (as if they're replacing the center and front channels normally outputting from the soundbar).If I switch the audio output to TV Speakers on the A95L, the screen goes black for a couple seconds, comes back, weirdly is still set to Audio System for output (or possibly switched back to it automatically), and the issue is gone.This happens every time I wake up my TV and also happens with my PS5, so it’s clearly an issue between Sonos and Sony.I've tried power cycling TV, ATV, and all Sonos products, but that didn't help. I’ve tried different cables as well as resetting the HDMI handshake by plugging things in one at a time.

I'm choosing rear speakers for my Beam (Gen 2). I have two questions:1. Can I adjust the bass and treble levels (equalizer function) on the Era 100 or One SL while they're paired with the Beam?2. I know the differences between the One SL and Era 100 are Alexa smart speaker functionality and size. Are there other differences? Do you know about any differences in sound quality?Thanks.

From yestwrday my S1 system refuses to play soundcloud songs and say that all are encoded inccorrctly. Anyone else experiencing this? Last time I had trouble with Soundcloud service it was a failure with the plugin.. and was fixed centrally.All other services are working fine!Thanks in advance! Are

*Why did I lose more than half of my speakers? This is just too bad, more than half of my speakers has suddenly lost connection. 

About 4 weeks ago Alexa says “playing Jimmy Buffet on Pandora, hmmmm I’m having trouble playing that right now”Disconnected my router, unplugged my Sonos speakers, unlinked then relinked Amazon music and Pandora in the Alexa app, deleted the Alexa app and reinstalled it. Can’t get Alexa to play any music. Anyone have similar problem? Or fix?

The Play:5 works intermittently, and the longer it’s on the more stable it gets, even to the point of no interruptions. 

I have been streaming Spotify on the highest quality music for years. now with update from Spotify streaming Flac but speakers does not switch from 320K to FlacI have a Beam and Play3 pair and Play1 pairs in other rooms. iPhone as a controller. Do these older Sonos speakers support Spotify Lossless audio?Is Spotify now streaming in Flac or do I just have to wait until October 

Both of my Play 3 speakers quit working around the same time and now wont turn on. I have tried the factory reset by unplugging, holding the play button and plugging back in. No luck and no light with either one. Any suggestions? Thank you,

Well BBC Radio 4 and all the other stations no longer list in SONOS or in TUNEIN. As of this morning (8 am EDT)  I have R4 set as an alarm and it worked yesterday and today not. BBC Sounds does not show up in services. NONE of the BBC stations show in SONOS Radio or in TUNEIN In the TUNEIN app on my iPhone to which I have a paid subscription BBC Radio 4 now shows the following message.     Regional Restrictions    This station is not available in your region. Honestly this is so upsetting … BBC itself said that BBC RADIO 4 and WORLD SERVICE would be available TO ALL ANYWHERE.  And now they are taking it away ???That is the article where they said that https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8j1m721mp2o“The BBC has said its radio stations will continue to be available for people outside the UK to listen to live after BBC Sounds access is restricted for international listeners.The BBC said listening to BBC audio programming on non-BBC platforms would not be affected by the change.”There is no

Hey up until today I’ve had no issues listening to BBC 6 Music through the Sonos Radio app but now it’s saying “Couldn’t Play Content, Try later” Anyone know how to fix this? 

Bbc radio 6/6 music suddenly stopped working in the netherlands. Anyone with any tips? 

I’ve been reading a lot of information here, on Reddit, on Synology’s site (my router is Synology), and on Apple’s communities. I’ve also done many web searches and AI chats. Finally, I chatted with Sonos support and talked by phone (lots of time spent). The Sonos support included sending diagnostics a few minutes after the problem on three different occasions. Most recently, I did some digging with the help of Airplay documentation and searches. What I’ve found is that my Arc Ultra and Era 300s do not appear to be advertising AirPlay via mDNS correctly. My Sonos Amp is working fine. Here are technical details:SummaryMy Sonos Arc Ultra ("Bedroom") is advertising its AirPlay service via mDNS, but it consistently uses flags=0x4 instead of the expected 0x804. This prevents it from appearing as an AirPlay target on iOS/macOS devices, despite being on the same network and access point.Network SetupRouter: Synology RT6600ax (SRM 1.3.1) Mesh: Synology mesh nodes, multicast forwarding enabled

I’ve seen variations of this problem specifically with spotify going back at least 4 years. Does anyone yet know if this is a sonos or spotify issue? In my case the service connects fine, but after 3 or 4 songs sonos starts skipping songs with a “file not found” error, and eventually stops after skipping several. I can correct it by manually pushing play on any song on the playlist and it resumes fine (for a short time).Based on what I’ve read elsewhere a few clarifications:affects both spotify only and mixed source playlists when spotify songs are included (and only breaks on spoitfy songs). I’m using spotify as the service within the sonos app. Phone or PC app does not make a difference. I’ve already unplugged and rebooted the entire sonos system I’ve removed and readded the spotify service No other service I use (including local NAS files) has this problem I have a very robust home ubiquity unifi wifi network with no connection issues on any devices and all 13 sonos speakers have re

Hi  I’ve been trying to add YT Music to Sonos S1 app but I’m getting Connection Error.  I’ve tried multiple times, logged out from the app and logged in again, uninstalled the Sonos S1 app and installed again.  Nothing helped.  I have other services added, Sverige Radio, Spotify, SoundCloud andd TuneIn.  Please advise how to resolve adding the YT Music service.Rgrds://Ingvaldur

They’ve had a long time to fix it, but its still unstable and lack elemental features. Have they learnt nothing? After trying to connect a new unit several times today I was left with several new rooms in the app, all unavailable because the unit crashes, but I can’t delete the rooms because the unit is not connected. Huh? Basic UX principles should be applied. 

My S1 set up includes 3 x S5 speakers. 2 are set up as a stereo pair and the 3rd as single room speaker. Over the past few weeks these speakers have started continually dropping their volume when the system is first used in the morning. Increasing the volume works, either by using the app or the volume buttons on the speakers, and corrects the volume for a short while and then it drops again. At the same time the lights briefly flash orange before returning to static white once the volume has dropped.  After an hour or so of use this settles down and the volume remains stable for the rest of the day. The other speakers in the system are not affected, several x  Play 1 and a Beam. I have tried unplugging them for a short while before plugging them back in and several times unplugged all the speakers and router but this hasn’t improved the issue. I also have a Roam which operates separately using the new App.All system updates have been made. Curious why this should have suddenly started

Recently, I’ve had trouble with nbc—I can’t hear the sound from the sports announcers. If the ref speaks, I can hear him. On those same broadcasts, some commercials aren’t playing all the audio either. It had always worked in the past, but stopped a week or two ago. 

Is my SONOS ROAM dead if I have a steady red light at the bottom of the product when plugged for charging? Light goes away when I disconnect the power cord. I have tried a reset but it doesn’t help

For the past couple of months, I’ve been having trouble with Audible. I’ve been an Audible user since 2000, and I’ve played it on Sonos for almost that long. It is only recently that I’ve had a problem. The book will suddenly stop. Sometimes it will start again but at random places. It could pause at 3 minutes into the chapter, then start again at 2 minutes from the end. When it starts again, the timer shows it is still at 3. When it gets to the end, it might go to the next chapter or back to a random place in the chapter.A couple of months ago, it wasn’t this bad. It would just pause and then resume on its own. I thought that one of the speakers heard its wake word. I have two Sonos smart speakers. I also have several Google and Amazon smart speakers around the house. I no longer think that is the problem. That is why I’m asking the community for help.

Hi allmy beam keeps dropping out after a couple hours of watching TV. Connected to 65” Samsung Tv (18months old) sound just disappears and I have to switch it back to TV sound, unplug the beams power, plug back in and it comes back again. All updates have been performed and I’ve even laid 7m Ethernet cable under the floor and wired it in to my router so I know it’s not a WiFi issue.  any help and advice would be greatly appreciated 

I have an ARC Ultra in my living room and a Ray in my bedroom.When I use the iOS app to try to start music in the bedroom, I get an error the like “The connection to the server timed out” or “Something went wrong.”When I use the app to try to start music everywhere, it plays in the living room but not the bedroom.Once I have it playing in the living room, I can use the voice assistant to group everywhere, and once it’s playing everywhere I can stop it in the living room and keep playing it in the bedroom.What’s going on? Can I fix it or do I just live with the workaround?

I have a sonos system in which there is a duplicate room (living room). The pair of sonos 1's appear in one room while the sonos arc and sub appear the other.
