Fix & Optimize

Hello and hola to the original poster of this question!Because that topic has been closed unanswered I have recreated it as I have the same exploded IC inside my Sonos S16 Amp. Does anyone have their S16 open at the moment and can tell me or send me pics of this Texas Instruments chip labelled as U16 on the circuit board? From the other post I see LM??002 perhaps….** If your Sonos unit has problems, please don’t take it apart. Speak to Sonos for help. **I would really appreciate these quite modern devices not going into landfill in my country and any help will be appreciated. By me and by the earth of the future!

Sonos S1 app one of my rooms disappeared from the rooms icon. It does show up under the systems tab under products IE: Dining room bridge. Dining room does not show up under rooms. Any help? I tried deleting app and reinstalling it . 

Hi community. I have my sonos play bar connected with Ethernet and wifi turned off on the play bar thru the app , then to my understanding , that creates its own wifi to connect to my sub.  Now , how can I use the app on my phone to control the sonos play bar if my phone is not connected to wifi, and I don't have wifi turned on thru out my home.   Trying to not use any wifi in my home.  Thanks in advance.  

I am trying to connect a Samsung Smart Monitor to my Playbar. The monitor has an earc HDMI and HDMI connection while the playbar only has the optical/digital type connection. Is there a simple cable adapter that would connect the two? I read that the Sonos adapter works the other way to hook up a tv digital to a playbar hdmi but doesn’t work the other way round. Not sure if that’s true or not. Any other work arounds or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. 

I have two Sonos systems: Two old Play 5 speakers with the old S1 controller - all working fine. I can access all the music on the local HDD of my Windows 11 PC. Never had an issue.A newer system comprising 3 pairs of speakers and a sound bar. All working fine using the newer S2 controller - except…… I cannot access the music on my hard drive - the same files on the same HDD that the old S1 controller has no problems accessing.The controller recognizes the library (safter a lot mucking around creating new local users, sharing folders, using the network path option etc etc) but refuses to list the albums or tracks. See screen shots below.  When I click on “Update Music Library Now” the usual message pops up:I click on Yes, and the "Indexing...” message pops up and disappears with a second. When I check the library for albums, artists etc, I get the dreaded “No selections are available”. Nothing. Zero. Zilch. I have read all the posts in various forums about this, but there does not seem

I get Favorites is full when trying to save a song to favorites. Been like that for years! When will they allow more than what the old app allowed. It’s only a list! Any fixes? 

My system operates erratically. System does not display component status reliably; does not consistently display album or Playlist tracks; will display graphics for music other than that which is playing; will indicate the system is off when music is playing. 

Hi, I’m sure it’s a stupid question with an easy solution  however I am in need of some help with an audio lag I havei have just bought a new Samsung frame pro 2025 and linked my Ray with 2x era 100 as rear speakers I wanted to use the Dolby atmos through the tv to sync with the sound bar and rear speakers which I can do but cannot get rid of the slight echo/lag when all are workingIm streaming through a firestick

I have a full system that worked fine in the last house, same Sonos app won’t connect to any of the speakers in the system.  What in the world? All of Sonos is 100% dependent on the app, will have to move away from Sonos unless it can be fixed. Anyone else have this happen?

I’d like to add a Sonos turntable to our current Sonos setup. I have a connect amp that runs a pair of klipsh rear passive speakers in my living room as part of my Sonos surround sound setup. If I plug the turntable into the connect amp will I only be able to play music over those rear passive speakers or will it somehow connect to the various other Sonos speakers I have ( play 1, arc, play threes, subs, etc. ). Also can I put two things into the connect amp at the same time? The pair of passive speakers and the turntable? thanks! 

I'm experiencing a popping at various times with my new Arc Ultra, I've had it for about a month, never had problems with my previous Arc in four years. Any ideas, thanks

What is the best way to bring 8 wired architectural wall and ceiling speakers, spread throughout my house into my Sonos Ultra/Sub 4/Era 300 system. 2 Sonos amps, or Look at a Bluesound config, or Something else?Thanks! (forgive my subject line typo, doesn’t appear I can edit this)

Hi all, my system has 3 Sonos amps: 2 newer ones and a Connect:amp. The 2 newer amps have no problem connecting, but I have to reboot the Connect:amp each time to get it to play. When I check under “Your System” on the app, it shows that the Connect:amp is connected and apparently playing through the speakers, but I have to unplug it and reboot it before it connects. I’ve powered off my router and modem and disconnected / reconnected all devices, but this didn’t solve it. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,A family member came into my house today with their iPhone 8, but could not connect to my sonos controller.Here is everything that i've checked / tried :The iPhone (and all other successfully connected device) are on the same network, using the app version 11.15.4 (my phone) or 11.15.5 (the iphone). I made sur the app on the iPhone had all the permissions. I double checked that all devices were indeed connected on the same network. Not that it matters, but both the iphone and the amp are on 2.4GHz (my phone is connected on the 5GHz band) I uninstalled / reinstalled the app on the iphone  And finally, I removed and added back the wifi network on the iphone.Unfortunately,  none of this worked. Any new idea or explanation would be welcome.I searched on this community for related topics, but could not find anything I did not try.Have a great day.

In the app, when there are songs in a queue, the queue list button is no longer available after streaming Sirius. This was how the system use to work and of course still works on the Windows desktop app. Can the queue button always be available even if queue is empty?

Roam ************This is the second of our Roams to die, both of the same deaths. They work until they don’t. You cannot turn it on or reboot (in any of the multiple ways to do so). I chatted with a Sonos tech (good) and we determined it had no power - the magnetic pad had stopped working, but I could recharge it using a C cable. When charged, it still would not respond. This one did hold on for another year past the first. Am purchasing a refurbished Era 100 to replace it.  Moderator Note: Recorded and removed Case number.

I’m going to be mounting my TV tomorrow  morning so I really hope someone answers this in time for me 😬. I have my Sonos arc ultra sitting on the front of my fireplace mantle. There is approximately 3.25” from the back of the Sonos to the wall where my TV is going to be mounted. I’m doing the thinnest wall mount I could find (1” from wall). The TV depth is 2.25” (3.25” with mount), so that leaves the back of the Sonos speaker flush with the front of the TV screen. As I unfortunately need to mount the TV higher than I would like in general, I’m trying to keep height as minimal as I can. As the Sonos arc is not mounted directly below the TV on the wall the tv is mounted, but in front of the TV by a few inches, do I still need to adhere to the 4” distance between the two? I’m under the impression that is mainly because of the upward firing speakers and you don’t want that to bounce off the bottom of the TV… but I wanted to additionally ask if there are concerns regarding any magnetism of

Hello all, I have the Move 2 speaker and it's working fine except for the status light is no longer on even though the speaker is playing. I turned it on and off several times and the problem is still there. I went into the setting in the Sonos app and the status light is toggled in the on position. I turned that off and on several times and did not solve the problem. Would someone respond please that has had this issue? Thank you.

Hi there, I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions please regarding my Sonos setup using the Virgin Hub 5 and there extender pods!  I have a number of devices throughout my home and they keep cutting out and then reconnect with a delay or I have to reset the whole WiFi router and pods for it to work, but it is still very intermittent with play back.  I have contacted Virgin and they feel the WiFi network is poor in my home (I only live in a 3 bedroom terrace) and now have given me 3 pods and still facing the same issues.  Is this a known issue with their equipment and if so, any work around or do I just look at getting a new router? 

When I open the Sonos windows app I am asked to check for updates, which I do and there are none. It then goes back to the same screen for checking updates. If I select “more options” and then “continue using the Sonos app” it responds with “some products are not registered”. On selecting “register your products” it asks you to log in and then responds with “your system is up to date” but it then goes back to tell me “some products are not registered” and I can’t get into the app.I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but still the same result as above. I have rebooted the router and powered down and back up all my Sonos devices to no avail.I have tried contacting Sonos via the chat selection for the past 2 days but after waiting over an hour on each day I have given up in frustration.I can play my music using my iPad or iPhone with no problems so the connection is there.any advice would be welcome

My Sonos speakers (except the two Moves) are Ethernet connected to my network. they function fine as a directly connected TV speaker system, however whenever I try to direct Apple Music or Spotify content I receive a ‘connection timed out’ error.I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app. I've power cycled both the network equipment and the sound bars. The Moves also have the same issue. Any ideas?thank you!

I recently connected a pair of Play:3 speakers as surrounds for my Beam 2, Sub 3 basement home theatre setup and the surrounds are giving me a lot of trouble. The audio coming out of the surrounds is throbbing like a tremolo effect, similar to if you talk into a fan that’s spinning. I previously had a pair of Play:1 surrounds connected and they worked perfectly, so the Apple TV and Sony TV settings are not the problem. I have tried rebooting the Beam. I have tried rebooting the Play:3’s. I have removed them as surrounds and added them from scratch and the problem persists. Could this be an issue with wireless interference? If it matters, the Beam is connected via Ethernet with WiFi disabled. I believe when the Play:1’s were hooked up I did not have the Beam on Ethernet. Suggestions please?

Hi! Just upgraded my Playbar to an Arc Ultra. I already have 2 Play 1’s and Sub 2. Will I be able to to add these to the Ultra without compromising the sound quality? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
