Fix & Optimize

Hi All I have just replaced my creaking Buffalo Linkstation with a shiny new Synology 225+ but I cannot get my Sonos system to see the shared folder for my music. I see there are a large number of threads on this issue as simply enabling SMBv1 doesnt seem to be enough, and a lot of the solutions appear to my reading to be complicated (Ill admit Im not hugely technically proficient) and involve rolling back parts of the NAS operating system etc which Id be quite worried about doing Can any one point me to the simplest/most efficient way of getting this to work please? And apologies again for asking what I know has been asked before, but Im hoping for a simple solution that with my limited understanding I can do.    

I have seen an old post on here but my Sonos Move announces it will play a Radio  then go silent, only just started doing it.

I have installed a new Ray with two Play 1 surround speakers and paired the Samsung TV remote and all is working well including the remote volume control. But I have a question that relates to the remote and powering off the Sonos system.Does the Ray have the power on and off functionality and if it does should it power off when switching off the TV, if it should how is this configured ?

I’m experiencing intermittent dropouts with my Playbar (and surrounds) when playing music (from a NAS) or streaming radio. The audio will stop for around 20s then start again. - This can happen between 2-5 times within an hourIt doesn’t happen when watching TVAll of the wifi connections on the apps (Sonos, Deco and support matrix) all show strong/green.I have a TP deco mesh system and Sonos is wireless.I don’t experience the issue with other stereo pairsIt is not possible to hard wire the playbar, although I can hard wire a Play 1 (which is next to the main deco box), although I invested in the Deco mesh to solve previous SONOS issuesAny ideas?

I have move and have a new internet source how do I update my system to accept the new internet. It will not recognize my app. 

I have a LG oled48c44la TV which has a wired connection to a Sonos Beam working successfully.  I want to add 2 Sonos era 100 speakers to use as satellites, but they cannot be connected by wire.  Is there a way to play through the wired Beam connection and at the same time play wirelessly through the era 100s?

When I open the Sonos app on a recently factory reset iPhone, and try to log in, it redirects me to the login.sonos.com website but I get a blank white screen. On the same phone if I go directly to the Sonos.com website and try to login I get the same blank white screen. I tried in Safari and Chrome cleared my cache, tried private browsing, turned off about 15 other security settings that I could think of. And nothing seems to work. Of course it works fine on my Android phone using Chrome browser. When it is being redirected a small letter I with a circle around it pops up or have a second so I'm sure there's still some security issue but the heck if I can figure out what it is.  It is an older iPhone for whatever that is worth.  Technical details.  Thing I have tried: -Verified JavaScript is Enabled in Safari Advanced settings.-Cleared Safari History and Website Data to remove corrupted cookies.- Attempted login via Chrome (including Incognito mode) with the same blank screen result.-

I have a secondhand sonos play 1 and amp and have done the factory reset but struggling to set up both units. I have downloaded the Controller ap as its an older version but it keeps prompting me to update the app to Play 2 when I have a play 1. How do I set up both units please? 

Hi, I have a problem with playing Apple Music Chill recently. Everything from Apple Music works just great, only Apple Music Chill radio won’t play and the app shows message the It’s not encoded correctly.Everything others plays with no problem.I tried to reauthorized the Apple Music, delete it and add it again etc.Strange is that all other stations plays with no problem and I doubt that Apple is encoding that one station differently then the others.Any idea? Thanks, Jakub 

I am trying to set up my playbar and use the IR to use with my new TV and remote.  When I try to connect with the app, the app does not let me log in.  It get stuck in the endless loop.  I have reset the playbar, I have reset the router, I have installed and uninstalled the app, I’m using android.  Is there any way to do this?  I have read and researched but none of the suggestions are working for me.  Any help is appreciated

Problem:Almost daily, my surrounds/sub all disconnect from the Arc Ultra and stop playing sound (thought he Arc continues working as expected). When this occurs, the app shows "Needs attention" for the Arc Ultra. Power cycling the Arc Ultra immediately resolves the problem for 24-48 hours.Setup: Soundbar: Arc Ultra (connected via Wi-fi) Surrounds: 2x Symfonisk Bookshelf Gen 2 surrounds Sub: Sub Mini Routers: Asus AX86U Pro + AX58U AiMesh Node Other Sonos speakers in the house use SonosNet via a single Symfonisk lamp that is wired to the router (does SonosNet play any part for the surrounds/sub in this setup?) Things I've Already Tried: Various AiMesh binding options Disabling DFS channels on 5 GHz Setting router 5 GHz control channel to static value Disabling automatic Sonos firmware updates (on the theory that the update process resulted in the disconnect) All the standard Asus Wi-fi tweaks to improve compatibility with Sonos (Airtime Fairness, beamforming, etc.) Rep

HelloI have just purchased a pair of Ace headphones to go alongside my beam (gen 1 with 2x play 3’s and sub mini).I find that the volume on the headphones is very low and I end up listening to both music and swap at almost 100% but I read elsewhere that some people can’t listen above 20% as it’s too loud, i clearly have something wrong.The headphones are running the latest firmware as are the beam and subsequent hardware.  I listen to music through Amazon Music on an iPhone 16 pro max. I have unchecked the sound check button in the music settings and I have unchecked the limit max volume in the phones sound and haptics settings. I have also reset the Ace.Are there any settings I have missed?I struggle to talk on the phone due to a mental illness so without phoning I don’t know how to get this resolved? Is there an online chat? hoping someone can sort this.many thanksMark  

After adding a Sonos roam to my system, the Sonos app no longer display in landscape.

How do I set up Alexa voice commands with Amazon Music on Sonos?

I just bought the Sonos Beam Gen2 in December of 2025 and have it connected to my Samsung TV that I bought 5 years ago.  I went through the setup procedure and the sound quality is very poor especially from my Samsung Blu Ray player.  I used the HDMI cable that came with the Beam and it’s connected to the ARC connection on the TV.  I have to turn the volume on the Beam to over 50 so I can hear and understand what they’re saying especially on the Blu Ray player.  

I have a Sonos One unit, probably 5 years old, that I originally had in one room and moved to another. I changed the room in the app and inevitably it always switched back to the old room.I have tried factory resetting it twice and it still goes back each time. How is this so hard?Fun fact: Sonos software is so great that there’s actually no way to remove a device from your system in the app. 

After coming home from a month long vacation, my Sonos system shows it’s not connected. This has happened before. I purchased and used NordVPN. Last time I used ExpressedVPN. Every speaker shows not connected except for Move & Move 2, which connects and playing. I disconnected vpn on my iPhone and iPad when we got home today. All of my speakers should show up?

I have an Arc Ultra and a Sub 4.  Currently, the Arc Ultra is connected to the internet via a switch, and the Sub 4 is connected via Wi-Fi. I would like to hardwire the connection to the Sub 4.  Is it just a matter of connecting an ethernet cable from the switch to the Sub 4?  Are there any other steps I must take to complete the conversion? 

Last year after much debate I spent the time to update ALL the tags on my compilation albums(with Album Artist = Various Artists)  to overcome the annoying issue of all compilation albums or albums with guest artists becoming fragmented.  Although I didn't (and still don't agree) with Sonos’s approach to the underlying problem of albums with identical names becoming combined I realised that there was no indication of a change in policy so I made the edits and re-catalogued everything.    Compilation albums were then represented  correctly  as one album with the downside being that the contributing artists no longer appeared in the artists view.    (I didn't agree with the Sonos solution because they could have just restricted the solution to the handful of people who suffered the issue and make them update the tags on just the duplicate titled albums rather than make every media library users update tags on their albums in perpetuity.  The Sonos CEO office have been unable to explain t

I have two sub mini hooked up to my Sonos Arc and my two Era 300. But my app says subs are not hooked up

Restarting the song then kicks the audio in.  my daughter does not appear to be having this problem with Spotify.  any insight/advice is appreciated. 

My arc ultra is connected to my Samsung TV by ehdmi and works fine. I can set up my Era300s (2) as stand alone speakers but when I set them up as surround with my arc ultra it shows connection issues with the eras. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
