Fix & Optimize

I am having problems getting radio stations and Sonos seem unable to help. They have told me to delete all services except Sonos radio, but there are no normal radio stations available!

Why is it every few months an app update bricks all my speakers!!! This just keeps getting worse and worse. What kind of a company is actually coding this rubbish???

have just purchased sonos era 300 when i try to connect to wi fi it tells me that it can only connect to 2.4ghz my router is less than a month old and works on 5 gh7

I have an Arc ultra with two Era 300 surrounds and while the system is functional when the surrounds are grouped with the arc ultra, the sound from them is modulated, by which I mean it gets quieter and then back up to normal volume, then quieter then back up to normal volume at a rate of about twice a second. This modulation happens with any sound source if the Era 300s are grouped with the arc ultra. However, if they're ungrouped they play normally with a consistent volume and there's no modulation effect at all so the problem is definitely associated with grouping them with the Arc Ultra. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I can listen to Classic FM live via Global Player on my Sonos system with no problem.  But how do I play something that’s available via catchup in Globalplayer?  I’m currently playing it through my PC speakers with globalplayer.com in my web browser.

I have a the Sonos Amp and I’m trying to connect it to my surround setup, which consists of the beam, 2 era 100’s and sub mini. I have a U-turn orbit turntable it has a built in preamp and I’m using av cables. I’ve tried to setting up the amp as a part a surround system with just my beam and sub and nothing plays. I even tried grouping it by having the amp by itself and having my beam, eras, and sub as one system and still nothing. It doesn’t give me the option to add the amp to the system. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone,I’m looking to use Sonos products as my main PC speakers and wanted some guidance from people who’ve tried it. I know Sonos is designed mainly for Wi-Fi streaming, but I’m curious about the best setup for desktop use.I’d like to know:– Which Sonos device works best for PC audio?– How noticeable is the latency for videos or gaming?– Is there any reliable workaround to reduce delay?– Would a Sonos Amp or soundbar (Ray/Beam/Arc) be a better option?Any recommendations or real-world experience would really help. Thanks!

Hi Community, I have a pair of Fives and Sub 3 set up in a 28’ X 18’ foot open space..  The Fives are wall mounted and centred on the long side.  Space has concrete floors with rug and soft furnishings in the middle, the space is open timber frame construction, with a peaked ceiling height of 28’ and large wooden beams breaking up walls.  I’m thinking of adding a single Era 300 opposite the Fives to fill in the sound.  Also, unless I can reverse the L-R of the Era speaker, it seems it would be firing opposite to the mains.  Music only. Thoughts?  

does anyone else have problems hearing speech on the sonos arc? even with speech enhancement on i still have to turn my volume up super loud for the speech scenes and then when theres action the system is way to loud so i have to keep turning it up and down constantly... its very annoying for the price you pay, plus i have two rear one speakers, but that only helps if the voice is coming from the back with the ambient noises, i have tried all settings the rear on full, the rear on ambient,  speech enhancement on, speech enhancement ofg, sub up, sub down! there is just not enough features on the app. i really hope sonos correct this in the very near future. especially for films like the titanic its the worst trying to hear what is being said.

My music library is on iTunes in my pc. I have 15 discs with various artists in each disc. When connecting my music library to sonos it splits each discs into sub-discs. For example a disc with 20 songs by 4 artists will be dived by sonos in 4 four sub-discs, one for each artist. How do I avoide that?

Hi, I have a stereo pair and have my turntable plugged in using line in. My question is, can I add my CD player to the line in on the other speaker in the stereo pair? So a source into each line input. Naturally, I’d only only be using one at a time, but it would save the need for an additional pre amp. Thanks

Hello, I just upgraded my Arc ultra and 2 Era 300 to sub 4. Unfortunately the bass from sub is very weak even after Trueplay adjustments. Frankly speaking bass is better without sub4. Increasing sub volume to 11-12 gives similar bass experience than arc and era alone. Something is for sure not right here. I will be glad for any suggestions

My Play 1 produce a distorsión only with high notes, what can be the cause and how can I fix it. I have it in surround mode and the other Play 1 does not have that issue. 

I just purchased 5 Era 100 for my office.  My office already has a Port and three One SL’s in the system.  I connected the first three Era 100 with no issues.  However the last two connect to my phone, but won’t connect to the wifi.  I have factory reset, system update and reset my phone.  I have located the speaker to different areas of the office including right next to the router.What else can I do?

Hello,I just received a pair of ERA 100s.  I am able to link my beam to one ERA and listen to the TV.  The TV remote controls the volume on Beam.  TV volume on ERA has to be controlled via app.  Is there a way to link the two where the tv remote will raise and lower the tv volume through the ERA and Beam at the same time?

Does anyone else see a benefit to being able to turn the Loudness feature on and off for all the products in a specific room or zone withough having to go to each product’s Settings > product > EQ > Loudness setting individually? … or be able to adjust all the EQ settings for all the products in an entire room or zone without having to visit the Settings for each product?

I used to have a workflow that did it’s job as long as I was on S1 and iTunes. ChronoSYnc syn<ced the whole library to my Synology NAS(DS413j), Smb1 was allowed , the User, used for SOnos had all the reading and writiging rights for all shared folders and subfolders. Now, I felt I needed to move on to the new apple ecosystem with Music, Books, Movies, Podcasts and so on. Now, since the ist no automatically created iTunes Library.xml anymore I tried to create this by hand and place it in the NAS share used and indexed by Sonos.I alos trief to create m3u playlissts and to adapt all paths to thecorrect  NAS  paths. However, I cannot find any imported playlists in Sonos. The NAS folder is displayed and I can scroll through it and play music from there, but this isn’t practicable for me since I have  thouands of songs an audiobooks that are all organized in playlists. Is Sonos still able to import playlists from Apple Musik

Entire Sonos system has disappeared from Roon! Can see the speakers and connect with them via Airplay on Roon but the sound is poor. How do i get the Sonos network back onto Roon?

What’s up … I’m new to the Sonos fam! Trying to figure out the placement of speakers.Era 300’sOn stands behind the couch are a no-go for us. So I’m looking at mounting them on the wall.  Placement AInstalled 2 feet below the ceiling above speaker (tray ceiling height is an additional foot higher). Requires me to angle (not tilt) them 45 degrees to hit center of room.Placement BInstalled 2 feet below the ceiling above speaker (tray ceiling height is an additional foot higher). Speaker would shoot straight out into room towards back of couch. Sub PlacementSubs arrive Wednesday! I bought two of the Sonos 4’s. I was thinking of placing them on each side of the TV table. Good idea? Bad idea?  I’ve included a few angles of the room to help visualize it. Thanks in advance!  

Hi, please can you look into developing your portable speakers so that they can be paired to the arc soundbar to achieve a surround sound system. Getting power to rear speakers is not possible so a battery powered speaker pair would be a game changer and open so many more options to create a bespoke surround system. Would this not be a simple software patch for the portable speakers? Thanks 

I saw Qobuz was compatible with the app and never considered this would be separate from the very critical voice commands feature. So happy with the speakers but can't help but be disappointed about this. Is this on the horizon?

Please can someone help me before I lose my sanity. My son was connected to one of Sonos speakers last night.  He is out of the house currently and I cannot connect to the same speaker. When I go in the Sonos app and go to the speaker, it shows as my son’s spotify connected, but not playing. When I hit play it starts playing his Spotify on the speaker, even though he is listening to Spotify on his own phone outside the house. That pauses his spotify on his phone and starts playing it through the speaker in the house. He can play it from his phone and take it back to his phone, but either way I still cannot connect to the speaker in the house.  How do I kick someone’s connection off?  It’s ridiculously bad design that when someone chooses to play to a specific speaker that it doesn’t take priority over what was last conected! Does it expect me to go through multiple people and ask them if they’re connected to my speaker???? Please anyone if you can help because I’m ready to bin the whol

I own a restaurant and use Sonos in tandem with Tidal. For the last 8 months since we’ve been open, the playlists I have built in Tidal have been the only way we have music playing in-house. Out of the blue, when we go to those same playlists, nothing shows up, and the drop down says that “Something went wrong”.I’ve re-authorized tidal in Sonos, along with all the other recos available. Please help.
