Since upgrading to Windows 11 my Sonos system was no longer recognising my Music Library.Having viewed other support advice, I have set my Wifi network to Private but it still doesn’t work.I removed the existing library and am now trying to add it back but am getting nowhere.I go to Music Library settings and click Add to add a new folder. I then click on browse and choose my music folder (on the same laptop) and then click on Next to add it.This brings up a window headed ‘Adjust file sharing settings’ saying the setup assistant needs to adjust the following 1) add sonos library service to firewall exceptions list and 2) set Windows sleep settings to Never. I click on Next to do this and then get a window asking if I want to allow Sonos to make changes. I click on Yes and it just takes me back to the window to choose my music folder. Nothing has been added.NB I have separately added the Sonos library service to my firewall exceptions list and the Sleep setting is already set to Never.W

I’ve just spent over an hour on the phone with Sonos Support, who, whilst extremely helpful, have been unable to fix this problem, so a last-ditch attempt is asking the community!3 months ago, I bought the following system:-2 x Era 1001 x Sub MiniAt first, it appeared to be working well, and I successfully paired all three speakers.  However, one of the Era 100’s started to disconnect occasionally.  It has now totally disconnected and is missing from the Sonos app / system.Here’s what I have tried so far:-Reset router Reset access points Reset Sonos speakers Switched off firewall Switched off VPNs Changed access point (from Unifi to Xytel) Hard reset the problematic Era 100 Hard wired the problematic Era 100 (with a USB-C to Ethernet adapter). Tried both iPhone and iPad iOS appsWhen I do a hard reset of the speaker, the Sonos app successfully discovers and adds the speaker.  However, it displays a message that the speaker may not show up in the Sonos system.I have checked my UniFi U7 a

Others ideas is also very welcome to fix this ola guy Regards Reidl 

I have a Pro-ject turntable connected to an Era100 stereo pair + Sub mini via the OEM Sonos USB adapter. Audio is passed from the turntable to my setup just fine. The problem: the setting for Line In Source Level no longer has any effect - I can change it from Level 1 → Level 10 with no audible effect. Also, if I change it to anything other than Level 1, if I quit the app then reopen it, the Source Level is back on Level 1. No other Level settings “sticks”. Prior to this, I was using the same turntable and adapter to connect to a Move 2 (months ago). The Source Level control worked just fine then (I had to keep it set to Level 7). Now, several app updates and firmware updates later, it’s not working - I’m not sure when it stopped working.A few people are reporting the same issue on Reddit. Is this a known issue?

i have the sonos arc and i put in a home theater setup. i have no idea where to put the sonos arc because there’s cabinetry behind it that is not perfectly symmetrical. where would you put the sonos arc in this setup? is there a way to hang it from the ceiling? can i place it on the cabinets but off center? the seating is on the left already.

I’ve seen various posts stating that the Sonos Ace ANC exhibits various popping or crackling effects as a result of nearby high-pitched sounds like knives, forks and other cutlery banging together.Examples:https://en.community.sonos.com/headphones-229145/sonos-ace-crackling-static-popping-with-certain-sounds-issue-with-anc-6927617 https://en.community.sonos.com/headphones-229146/sonos-ace-feedback-over-bumps-6897038Has this been fixed?I understand the newer Firmware has greatly improved the ANC, but I can’t find a clear conclusion on this topic.

First time poster, so not really sure if I’m posting in the right area to share what seems like a bug, but with my Nintendo Switch 2, Sonos Arc + surrounds + Sub mini, and LG C5, running the NS2 test output plays the SW test tone too audibly (IMO) through the Arc. Sonos app correctly shows Multichannel PCM 5.1 and all the other test tones are appropriate, but it seems like the subwoofer audio just isn’t playing from where it should be.

I like to play music from my PC via bluetooth connection over my SONOS system.For that, I connect my SONOS Roam to my PC, then I group my other SONOS speakers (12) with the SONOS Roam.Very frequently, after a while (20-30minutes, or an hour; varies) the sounds starts to drop out intermittently. Sometimes it stops completely, and then I notice the Bluetooth connection between SONOS Roam and PC has been dropped completely.To reconnect them, I typically have to restart the PC or at least put it in sleep mode.Any suggestions, ideas, solutions?Thanks, Miguel 

I have an Arc, Move 2 and Era 300 on my system. The Era 300 periodically pops and  has a little static at times. I’ve tried everything to fix but nothing works. Any suggestions? Sonos could not give me an answer and I’ve been waiting over a week for someone to reach back out to me. 

Hello all.  I have been a subscriber to Apple Music for some time and, if you’ve ever used it, you are aware that the service creates a personal station for each subscriber based on their favorites and listening history.  My issue is that when I stream the station through the Sonos App it bears very little resemblance to the station streamed on the Apple app. It is much more restricted and excludes a lot of music.  Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi I have a playbar with an optic output but my new Samsung TV only has an HDMI output and no optical. I tried connecting the playbar with an original Sonos Optical Audio Adapter with a male optical cord to the playbar and HDMI to hdmi input in the other end for the arc entrance on the TV - but it does not work. Sonos support can not help as they do not have a cord the works between the optical in Sonos and the hdmi in the TV. They say I might need a female optical to connect to the original optical/optical cord - with a HDMI input the other end (playbar male optical to female optical to hdmi to tv) but they do not know it it will work. Any suggestions? 

Hi - I have a large detached garage (48x30) and have a set of Play:3 speakers that I will put one on each end of the garage.Can I have 2 echos strictly for voice control of those speakers in the Sonos system?  Not looking for them to play music.I would like them to be set up with Alexa so my wife can announce to me in the detached that dinner is ready! :)   - all the other Sonos speakers around the house have voice control and it is great to do announcements that go to every room with a Sonos (all three kids included) 

My Era 3 x2 and Era 1 system have been plagued by connection issues. I've spoken to Sonos support and changed my router settings (shouldn't have to). They still didn't connect to the app consistently until i really made a stink on this forum two months ago (alongside lots of others experiencing the same issue) and several days later an update arrived and the system started working. It appears some clever sod has updated it again because it's not working again. My devices are still under warranty and I've had enough of this crap service now. Why can't you just keep them working? Is it really so hard Sonos?

I have the arc ultra , 1 sub. My room is about 25-30feet from tv to to back wall. Couch is in the middle. Subwoofer is behind us in the back right corner. I want to know if it would be worth getting Sonos 100 as surrounds or if 300s would be too much?

Equalizer is no longer available

Does anyone know where I can get an end cap (speaker cover) for an Arc? I just bought the last one ex display and on delivery the cap is missing. Sonos don’t have spares? Help

I know the Arc Ultra has the capability to sound brighter. More crisp. More clearer. More treble. It comes alive and shines and excels with Atmos content and even that can sound more crisp….but is dull otherwise with music and movies. Just feel like for the money I spent, I should have the option to go brighter and make all content come alive. It has like a gazillion speakers in it. It has so much potential. But I haven’t been able to enjoy this investment. The new Sonos amp tho, sounds amazing. I have that running some sonance speakers. Sounds crisp and clean. 

I am about to lose it…I updated my whole network with new router and switches.The name (and password) of the wifi is the same.I have 3 Sonos One (Gen2) and 1 Port.I tried to reconnect my Sonos to my new network but without any luck.I tried to update the network, no luck.I tried to factory reset all my Sonos, without luck.I tried to plug 2 of the Sonos One by ethernet, no luck.I can go through the whole setup process for my Sonos but when I am done, the app see nothing.“Your system not found on wifi”Sometimes, I got the message:“Your Sonos One has been added, but may not appear in your system. If so, unplug the powercord and plug it back in to finish the setup from System Settings”.Not quite what it means because I cannot find this “System Settings” unless starting the whole process again…. without luck!What am I missing here?

After working perfectly for a couple of years I now get a message that there are “no playable products”. I’ve tried rebooting but none of the components in my system connect to WiFi. I currently have a Beam Gen 1, 2 x SL One and a Sub. 

Long time user here with a new problem I cant seem to get fixed.I have one room in my system, called Office. I have a stereo pair of Era 100 and a Sub Mini. I have other Era100s around the house and a home theater of an Arc, Sub and 2 Era300s. Since the last update, the Office system keeps disconnecting. Everything else works fine. Tried all the regular stuff rebooting routers, unplugging speakers… even tried factory resetting the speakers in the Office room and re-adding. Still cannot get the Office back up. Every other device in the house on the network is running fine, even tried moving the Office room speakers to a different room. Nothing works. I can get the speakers connected, but then it will randomly disconnect and be unavailable again. Any ideas while I still have some hair left that I have not pulled out?

I have a Beam, two Sonos 1s and a sub woofer, set up as a group in Living Room, which all work perfectly on the Sonos App. However I have a Sonos One I would like to use in another room, but when I connect it to the app, it appears and works fine, but the Beam group all disappear from the app. My TV still puts sound through them but I have no control of them through the app. If I disconnect the One, the Beam group comes back onto the App. Any help would be gratefully received.
