Fix & Optimize

I’ve noticed today that “My Likes” playlist of Amazon Music (“Mis Favoritas” in my case) is not working anymore if I try to play it from Sonos app. Not a problem in Amazon’s app. Also no problems with different playlists. I’m almost sure that I played it successfully some weeks ago but now, when I press the play button, an spinning circle is shown for a while and then nothing…I’ve checked the web and it’s a similar thread in Amazon forum from the 4th of November, but no solution. The answer from Amazon staff is to follow all the “classics”, that of course I’ve done spending a lot of my Sunday’s time:Make sure you have the latest version of the Sonos app installed ✅ Deauthorize/Unlink Amazon Music from within the Sonos app ✅  Sign out of the Sonos app and then restart your smartphone/tablet as well as your Sonos speakers ✅  Sign back into the Sonos app, and then re-authorize Amazon Music as a linked service in the Sonos app ✅  Once linked, under the Amazon Music Settings within the Sono

Hello,New here and not exactly an audiophile but have a question about my setup!I have a new house with six passive B+W ceiling speakers in the living room / kitchen (I think potentially overkill with six) and a sonos beam 2 for the TV (and a One if needed). I need to buy an amp for the spakers. I’m unsure about spending the money on a Sonos Amp, but I do like the idea of everything being integrated. Especially if the Amp can use two speakers as the TV surround -that would be a game changer. But if I went down that route, does that completely rule out the other ceiling speakers for music listening (even when I’m not watching TV?) That would be a shame! I’ve seen that I would have to get a second amp for music, which I’m not going to do.I understand that the Amp may only be able to safely power 4 rather than all 6, but 4 would be better than just having 2 for music!Thanks!Tom

Hi Community.May be is a so obvious question but before a purchase, I’d like to be sure if having severals ERA 100 in different rooms, can I reproduce different audio source in every room from different devices? like reproducing audio files from a phone in Room A whilst listening TV in Room B.Also curious to know the reverse option, listening the same audio source in all rooms. Appreciate your help

The Sonos app is so dogs***… why? reasons why my dog can make a better app with his butt: no custom radio  stupid pinned s*** at the top of my app  lost ability to connect to radio stations outside of the Sonos garden Finding my offline music takes like 20 steps  did not even revert the horrible app after community said pls give us back the old app  tunein radio doesn’t work as advertised, lost of help articles are inaccurate because they refer to old app overall, I’m never buying another Sonos product. Gonna let this one die and then happily throw it out and get a more customer-focused product  Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

Is it just me?  I have complained to Sonos several times that the music player app on my Mac does not scroll long titles etc properly. IWhat you expect to happen is the text string scrolling off to the left, so the start of it disappears and the bit you couldn’t see before slides over from the right.What happens is the whole string disappears and the left part of the string slides in from the right until you can see exactly the same bit as you could see before. You never see the right hand end of the string.Every other app in the world scrolls properly, why on earth can’t Sonos sort it out?

I have two white Flexon stands for Play 5s as shown in the photo. We have no room for them now as we have moved into a flat and our Sonos 5s are sitting cosily in a bookcase. I’ve tried eBay (no takers) and Freecycle (no takers), but am reluctant to take them to the tip. If anyone wants them and is willing to pick them up in Guildford, UK I will quite happily let them have them. They are in very good condition. 

I have a music library on a NAS. When I first connected it to my Sonos system I mistakenly selected the group by artist option. Where I have albums which feature tracks by different artists the library lists them all individually rather than as one album. I would like to change the groupings so it is by album.I use the Android app and under Settings - Music Library the only option is rescan library. There is no option to change the ordering. I found a help page which implied there should be an option asking which ordering I want. Where do I find this option?

La nouvelle mise à jour des app sonos est TERRIBLE. On m’oblige a changer près d’une dizaines d’appareils, car non-compatibles avec la nouvelle app !!!!J’ai PAYÉ ces appareils et ils fonctionnent très bien.Sonos a envie de faire des bénéfices ? en se moquant des clients ? INADMISSIBLE.Je vais QUITTER sonos pour me diriger vers des mondes plus respectueux de leurs clients !!! Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

Hi all,I can't find an answer to this question that will work specially for my desired set-up so hoping for the community's guidance.I've just bought a BenQ TH585P projector and Beam gen 2 on the basis that I believe a matrix switch with ARC functionality can be used to deliver sound from the projector to the soundbar. This specific projector model doesn't have an ARC HDMI port.I've been playing around for ages and simply can't get audio from the soundbar. Please can I have your suggestions?Current set-up that's playing audio through projector's awful speakers:- matrix switch HDMI out 1 to projector - matrix switch HDMI out 2 with ARC toggled on to Beam soundbar- Firestick into matrix switch Seems pretty simple to me that this should work but clearly I'm wrong!Thanks in advance for your help,Jack 

I’ve had several conversations here with folks with Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet unfriendly houses. Saw this mentioned elsewhere and it sounds interesting.Does anyone have experience with this or know if it is fully compatible with Sonos’ networking needs?Virtually Invisible Fiber – Ultra-thin, bend tolerant fiber blends seamlessly along baseboards, trim, and corners, preserving your home’s aesthetic while creating a point-to-point connection.https://www.amazon.com/InvisiLight-Home-Fiber-Kit-Installation/dp/B0F8DQW36V/ref=sr_1_4https://lightera.com/invisilight-home-fiber-kit/#

I currently have a Beam 2 connected (HDMI eARC) to my TV with 2 x Play 1 set up as surrounds (additionally I have 2 x Roam 1 in a stereo pair in the same room).My son in law has just upgraded his Arc with an Arc Ultra and is giving me his old Arc.I am thinking of replacing the Beam 2 with the Arc (connected via HDMI eARC to my TV) and combining that with the 2 x Play 1s then using the Beam 2 stand alone behind the settee in the same room as an additional speaker.Is this possible? Will the Arc and Beam2 interfere with each other? or should I just use the beam elsewhere / sell it?

I have connected my beam gen 2 and my 2 era 100s to my Hisense tv, the hdmi is connected to the correct arc connection, the picture is fine for a while then goes off it’s very pixelated then freezes, when I switch the Sonos products off the sound works fine through the tv, I have tried different hdmi cables and the problems still there

Sometime ago, I asked for people to recommend a music player for my Sonos speakers. I was looking for something to rip my CD collection to that was easy to use and navigate. That thread got closed, but I thought I would provide an update.  My initial attempt was a Brennen Helix, but I just never got on with it. The 2nd suggestion was to build your own NAS with a Raspberry Pi. I was not keen, because I wanted something a little more presentable than a collection of devices. Also, I wanted my wife to have full access, so easy to use was a high priorityHowever, with no obvious commercial device out there (or at least one which I could guarantee SONOS  connectivity, I bowed to the inevitable and bought another Pi. However, in this case it was in the form of a Waveshare CM4 box, which I could fit tow 512 GB SSD’s.  These I have in a RSYNC so have a backup (RAID would be overkill, since it rarely changes), and use SMB to connect with. The device came pre-assembled with PiOS and OMV pre-insta

How do I play prior radio stations on my Sonos era 100 I had unplugged it yesterday by mistake and it’s stuck on a blues station 

Bonjour j'ai une playbar gen1 qui a toujours été relié à la TV avec la fiche optique sauf que je viens d'acheter une nouvelle télé et celle ci n'a pas de port optique.Comment je peux faire pour la relier à la télé ? Merci 

Hi can anyone tell me what gen sub this is? thanks in advance  Moderator Edit: Removed serial number from picture

I have a system that includes Ones, Play 1s, Amps, a Ray, Beam and Arc.  The Amps and sound bars are wired connections. System works “fine” other than never-ending problems with the buggy app. I added a stereo pair of ERA 100 speakers to a new room - they connected to my system fine and I can play music on them no problem, BUT when I try to add one of my other rooms to play with the Era 100s it won’t allow it - it just won’t add the new room after I select it in the app - no error messages or anything. Same goes if I try to connect the Era 100s to another room that is playing music or if I put them in a group together.  I have tried this with virtually every combination of speakers. There is one weird sort of exception - if I add one of the rooms/products that is connected via Ethernet to the ERA 100s or visa-versa then then it shows the added room as if it was playing music in the app, but does not play any sound through the speakers for the added room although I can play/pause the mu

Bonjour,Je n’ai plus de son qui sort sur ma chaine connectée à Sonos Conect gen 1. La chaine marche bien je l’ai vérifié.J’ai fait un reset usine du sonos connect cela n’a rien changé.

J’avais exactement le même problème sur des Play 1 et ma Playbase, les débrancher 30” et les rebrancher à régler le problème sauf sur mon sonos connect.Merci de votre aide

My sonos 1 music cuts out when I listen to 93.1 wxrt via Audacy. This doesn't happen when I listen to non Audacy sources. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting power etc.   Any suggestions?

I have a Playbar, Sub, and two Play 1 speakers. Recently, although appearing connected in the app, the Sub and Play speakers have not worked - I only get sound through the Playbar. I’ve deleted all the speakers from the network, factory reset and then added again, but with no luck. The app says they’re connected, but I get no audio. Any suggestions as to what to try next?Thanks. 

I’m not sure which way the dot has to go to be on.

Hi everyone, My purchased items for a new kitchen, living & dining area consists of: Arc, Sub(3), OneSL & Era 100. Question is what setup would you recommended for mainly music playing but also surround sound TV? Bear in mind I may place one of either SL or 300 in the undercover outdoor area. Thanks in advance (Drawing below for context)
