Fix & Optimize

I’ve had my Sonos Roam 1 since release, when taking it on holiday it has always connected to BT easily by holding the button for a couple of seconds until the ding, then the light goes blue. I’ve just got back from holiday and found that this no longer works, I hear the ding but then it just carries on flashing white. I’ve just been testing it at home and found that it does eventually connect to BT when no wifi is found, but it took 3-4 minutes after pressing the button before the light turned blue.Can anyone advise what to do to fix this? I has the latest firmware installed. Switching to BT when wifi is connected is instant

Current Problems:Recently Played, whenever local library music played, CAN NOT click and play again!!! It shows not available and grey. Online Streaming services like Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify is obviously lower sound volume, than local Library. It's been over years! (Using Sonos AMP, Arc and Era300s) No Live Activity, No Control Center, No Widgets and No iOS dynamic Island control!! This is been over years missing features. 3rd party app can even do better than Sonos official. No Apple TV tvOS / Android TV app, not allow users to control or display the music album cover in large display. It’s not good for consumers to enjoy the music playing.

I have an old Pioneer that is plugged into the Sonos Connect Amp. The sound is that of one that needs a preamp. The speakers are Kenwood floor speakers.  I bought this thinking it would be an amplifier. Sadly, not. When I bought it, the guy threw in a Sonos Connect Receiver and a Connect Bridge.  

When I use the sleep timer a new bug seems to have been introduced. When the timer ends the music or podcast fades out as expected, but then you get a second or so of music again before the sound stops. Anyone else experiencing this?

Good day everyone, I'm having trouble playing content from different music platforms on one my sonos one sl. When pairing it with another speaker, it'll play the content. When trying to start it on that particular speaker, it'll say can't play content, something went wrong. It says in the app under the name of that speaker no content.The speaker and app are up to date.Any ideas what the problem is?Thank you.Phil

The play 5 gen 1 sees the temporary Sonos network but will not connect to it 

Newly added 2 speakers to my system and moved from s1 to I think 2. Music won’t pause, listening to Spotify content using Sonos app. Set up was a nightmare with multiple speakers taking many attempts to connect to my house group but all done now. How Spotify get away with this awful app I don’t know. I thought I was continuing to buy a premium product, sadly full of bugs.. any ideas how to get pause working on the app?

I have a Port, and in the Line-In settings the Source Name is ‘Turntable’, when I select the Line-in in another room, it doesn't display the Source Name, it just displays ‘Audio Component’. Should it display the name that is configured in the Port Settings? eg, HiFi is the Port, when I select the Line-In in the Lounge, it displays ‘Audio Component’ 

I have just recently upgraded my home broadband from Sky to a faster Vodofone Ultra. Before the upgrade the SONOS system was perfect. After the upgrade my my speakers are not connecting but only a certain few. In my living room I have the SONOS Arc, 2 x Play 1’s and a Sub. I have connected the Arc to to the router (WiFi) but the surround speakers connect and drop out. I have tried various ways to connect but nothing seems to work. Is there a simple and easy fix? 

I plan to buy a pair of Era 100 speakers. I use Apple Music. I would like to connect my iPad via the Schitt Modi 3 DAC to the line in using the Sonos line in adapter. Will this set up offer better sound quality when playing hi-res Apple Music than using Airplay 2 over wifi. 

I’m running a mixed environment in Ubiquiti with about 10 devices. 4 are hardwired and the rest on my Wireless network. My goal is to not run sonosnet - and I don’t think I am.However, one of my Ports won’t stay disconnected to wifi.  I can disable it from the app, but a few minutes later it reenables it. What’s funny is that my router shows it as hardwired.I saw the advice in the following post, but it was 4 years ago… about hardwiring directly to the router (this is two switches in currently. Seems odd, but does that still work?WiFi Keeps re-enabling and kicking system out of "mixed mode" | Sonos Community  

My Sonos Play:1 gets lost to my home system every time the Sonos app is updated on my phone. Interestingly my Sonos One players stay in the network but the Play:1 is only visible if it is connected via ethernet cable. If I reset the speaker and add it connected via cable, in the process the speaker is updated as well and after another reset I can add it again via wifi. This is a very tedious procedure considering that there are usually multiple updates per month.Currently (App release 80.24.32-release+20250717.e5bcd8b) even this solution does not work, so that I can use my Play:1 only hardwired (which is pretty idiotic for a wifi-speaker)

I’ve got a very frustrating issue going on. I’ve got a pair of Sonos One speakers that I foolishly tried to update to the S2 controller. I have nothing but problems since doing this. To get the speakers connected to the S2 controller, I have to do a (cumbersome) factory reset. When I finally get the speakers connected to the S2, everything works great, and I spend a couple hours listening to music.However the next day when I try to listen to music again, the S2  tells me “No products found” on my network. It prompts me to go to system settings. When I do that, it says me system can’t be found on my network, and prompts me to update my network. When I do that, it finds my two Sonos One speakers but says they are unable to update these products, and instructs me to factory reset them. So of course I spend 20 minutes doing two factory resets, and everything works. Until the next day when it tells me to do the same thing over again.I tried to downgrade to the S1 controller (which used to w

My Sub gen 2 (bought used) will connect to my system and will play bass for a few seconds but then it clicks and no longer plays. I’ve reset it, reset the zp120, factory reset the sub, recalibrated the sub and reset the router and no luck. Any other suggestions? Out of all of my Sonos products this is the first time I’ve had an issue over 15+ years. 

Have had an issue for few weeks when tapping on a track on my soundcloud feed on S1 app, it plays a completely different track on the feed, if i press 3 dots and hit play now it plays ok, you used to just have to tap on the track and it would play

I have a number of Sonos One and a Move. Recently the Move stops playing, then after a period, sometimes minutes, sometimes longer, it resumes.I’ve tried everything I can think of, including factory reset. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello - I have a pair of Sonos One speakers purchased in 2019.  I connect to a desktop computer to Spotify and sometimes from my mobile device.  I need to add another pair of Era 100 speakers to a different room.  So they will be on the same wifi network.  Is it possible to connect one device to one pair and a different device to the 2nd pair while both Sonos pair are on the same wifi network?

Just purchased (New) a pair of Sonos Ace headphones.They go with my Sonos Beam Gen 2 soundbar, Sonos Sub Gen 3 and 2 Symfonisk surround speakers.The swap function works fine but the volume of the headphones has to be at 94 to be sufficient for my usual listening preference. I am not saying it is a massive problem but with some of the films I watch I find it hard to understand what the characters are saying.This may be more a hearing problem my side, but surely their must be a work around to get a wider volume range?I have updated all my products firmware/ software. In music and normal TV watching the volume seems fine. It is purely listening in swap with the headphones.I like the headphones and can live with this third world problem, but any advice to make them better would be welcome. Many thanks

I have an Arc Ultra via HDMI to the tv and use the Era 100 via Bluetooth as an extended speaker - not surround sound. The Era sometimes connects to the Arc and plays perfectly, but after a while it disconnects from Bluetooth and keeps connecting to HDMI on the app (which is is not connected via HDMI) and the sound disappears? How can I get the Era and Arc to sync every time I turn on the TV - or press the Era and turn on when the Arc is playing? 

Once every day i have reauthenticate the YouSee service. When done I can play my playlists BUT they are not updated in the Sonos App with the new songs I have added in the YouSee Music App.I have removed the YouSee service, i have removed app data from the Sonos App, I have reinstallere the Sonos App. Are there any known issues with the YouSee Music service?

Hi, my best mate recently passed away and he gifted me his SONOS system. A Playbar, Sub, 3 x Play 3, 2 x One and a sub.Unfortunately, he passed before deregistering but, that’s ok, I’ve carried out a password reset and with the permission of his Mum / Exec, I’ve changed the password so I can log in.I am new to SONOS.I have started with the Playbar, I’ve changed ownership to me (which was tricky) but, no matter how many factory resets I do, I can’t connect it to my wifi. I add the new device (Via new system) get it working (whilst using an ethernet cable) yet when I go to network / manage networks / update networks - continue then every single time I get the message attached - unable to update these products. I have a Vodafone WiFi Hub Router, and I have the S2 app latest version.Interestingly, I had the same problem with one of the Ones but, I hadn’t changed ownership on that - only the Playbar.I am usually good with IT matters but, this has left me with a headache.I have done a hard r

Hi folks, I haven't yet taken the plunge to purchase a speaker/s. I use a Marantz currently and its music library accessing by folder from my PC, works fine.I organise my recordings by folder, subfolder and file name. I don't use, artist, composer, album or any of those options as my meta data isn't too good.So its a deal breaker for me if the folder option is not available via the app.Please don't direct me to adding a music library help page...it doesn't discuss this.I tried to install the app on Android to find out for myself if this works how I want, but it needs a speaker to link to first...which I don't have yet.Is there anyone out there who uses Sonos App Music Library from their PC that can tell me if this method of access (by folder) works?

We purchased a home that has 4 in-wall architectural speakers in the living room and 2 outdoor speakers (old Yamaha speakers). Is it possible to run all 6 speakers off the one Amp? And if so, is it possible to have different “zones” (e.g., listen only to the 4 in-wall speakers when watching TV, or listen only to the 2 outdoor speakers when outside)? Or do I need two amps (1 for the 4 in-wall speakers and 1 for the 2 outdoor speakers)?Thank you for your help!

Sub mini keeps disconnecting in the app, requiring a reboot. It only stays connected for about 2mins. I have rebooted the router, and the sub is close to a mesh extender. 

I have a Playbar and 2 AMP’s. I have had an Eero Mesh system for 6 plus years with the Sonos. Recently the App doesnt recognize the Sonos system.  I chatted with someone at Sonos who said my iphone and the Sonos are on different IP addresses.  How can I get them on the same IP address & if I do this will the issue go away? Thanks for any help!
