Fix & Optimize

I have an Arc Ultra sound bar and I'm thinking about In-wall speakers for the rear. I have power available, so can I go without the amp and just connect them to my Arc Ultra through WiFi? 

As of Saturday 11-1-25 no BBC Radio station works on SonosNot in Sonos Radio Not in Tunein on SonosA commenter to a post of mine on Reddit referenced an article that has NO DATE on the BBC Souns  website Changes to BBC Radio on TuneInHowever Sonos Radio and TuneIn on Sonos is not mentioned Only Alexa + Sonos In the article about limiting BBC Sounds to UK Residents there is this statementIn addition, listening to BBC audio programming on non-BBC platforms will not be affected by this change.=============WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE a SONOS EMPLOYEE TO RESEARCH THIS AND REPLY AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON. =============I just cannot believe this… 

HelloIs there any way of streaming music directly from my phone to Sonos Amp?I've looked at:a usb c to RCA cable with DAC from my phone to the Ampa usb c to DAC and then from DAC to AmpAnd a Bluetooth receiver to RCA plugged into the Amp Not sure which one will give me the best results and whether they'd work.Any thoughts and help appreciated.Thanks 

Our speaker (Sonos S18) stopped working So we did a factory reset and it still didn’t do anything.  I reconnected it to the Sonos app and it shows in the app.The speaker has  been unplugged for almost 2 weeks when we plugged it in, the white light is on, but we do not get any sound or any response from it.  

I am trying to do an outdoor set up for a projector. The equipment id like to use is:projectorscreenroku stickMove2 x 2Roam2 x 2 i cannot get the projector or Roku to connect to Sonos system. I purchased the amp, thinking that would solve the problem, alone with an hdmi audio extractor, but the audio still played through the projector.  Any tips??  

I’m having a super frustrating issue with my Era 300s stereo paired to a Sub Mini. Every time I AirPlay from my phone, I get the spinning wheel followed by an “Unable to connect to [room]” error. If I tap the speaker again, it connects instantly and after that, it reconnects fine until the next day when the problem repeats. Here’s what I’ve tried with no lasting fix:Rebooting my phone, router, and modem Hard resetting the speakers and the app Swapping routers (ISP issued router > Linksys Velop > Eero Pro 6E) Setting DHCP reservations Calling Sonos support (they just suggested another reset) The weird part is no other AirPlay 2 devices on my network have this problem (HomePods, Apple TVs, LG TV, JBL soundbar) and it’s not isolated to my phone either because I can reproduce this issue on all iOS and macOS devices in the house. It’s not the end of the world, but waiting 20–30 seconds every day to stream music adds up to a very frustrating experience. And it’s just so annoying that e

Hi there,Just acquired a SONOS ACE. Great so far. Except when I tried to connect it to my TV settings. I have a Samsung the Frame 2022. Apparently my new ACE isn’t compatible with my “old” 2014 PlayBar... Very sad. But worth, I don’t see how to connect ACE directly to my recent TV The Frame… anyone knows how to solve that?

Hello, I’ve had Symfonisk and Play:1 in my system without major issues, but after connecting a Playbase this weekend, it’s only been misery. I bought it knowing it would have issues with the wifi-card based on the know issues (and the seller said he issues connecting with it), but thought cabling it should work. But even connected with ethernet and optical from my tv, it’s been wreaking havoc with the already connected speakers in the app. Its unstable both on its own and making the app crash, sometimes it connects, othertimes not, cutting in and out. Tried disabling the wifi, but then it stopped connecting at all and I had to reset it. Trueplay makes the app crash and the Playbase unavailable. I’ve tried over and over again, resetting it and adding it again, but it just won’t work properly.  Now I’ve unplugged it and added the other speakers again, so the app and the other speakers work fine again. Is this a known issue? I thought it should work when cabled even though the wifi-card i

Bonjour,J'aimerai acheter une platine vinyle Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB, mais est-ce possible de la connecter avec mon système existant sans avheter une nouvelle enceinte.

I have two speakers that play one and one Sonos One.Thanks in advance.

Just bought a ERA300 and set it up an hour ago. Usually I listen to music from Spotify but I also have made a few playlist with own produced music, imported to my iPhone as mp3 files. I create a playlist in Spotify on my computer with these files and when I connect my iPhone to the computer it synchronizes the iPhone with the changes I made, the playlist with local files pops up in the iPhone as well. But now I have tried both the “normal” way to listen to these local files from the iPhone via ERA300 connected to WIFI which not worked, and I did not expect it to work either.Then I pushed the small “bluetooth connect” button on the back of ERA300 and connected my iPhone via bluetooth. It still refused to play my mp3 files, when I click on them in Spotify on my iPhone absolutely nothing happens. My thoughts on this is that maybe the WIFI still is connected to ERA300, and this might be the reason that it does not work? Can I stop ERA300 from beeing connected to the WIFI and use it as a si

After months of trying (and giving up) to set up my Sonos Play 5 (Gen 1) with Starlink - I finally have a (very straightforward) fix...STEP 1 — Split your Starlink Wi-Fi into two networksYou’ll create:    •    Starlink_2.4GHz → for Sonos    •    Starlink_5GHz → for your phone, laptop, etc.How to do it:    1.    Open the Starlink App    2.    Go to Wi-Fi Settings    3.    Select Split 2.4 & 5 GHz Bands    4.    Name them something like:    •    Starlink-2G    •    Starlink-5G    5.    Save + Router will reboot ⸻STEP 2 — Connect your phone/tablet temporarily to Starlink-2GSonos setup only works if your phone and the Sonos speaker are on the same band during setup.So:    1.    On your iPhone → Wi-Fi    2.    Choose Starlink-2G⸻STEP 3 — Reset the Wi-Fi on your Play:5 Gen 1 (NOT a factory reset)Do this:    1.    Unplug your Play:5    2.    Hold the Play/Pause button    3.    Plug the speaker back in while holding the button    4.    Release when the light starts flashing whiteThis clear

I have a surround sound system.  Every day, although music still plays the system disappears form the app and I go through the network update routine.  This is getting so regular that it is more than a nuisance.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  Thanks.

I have an issue with Sonos skipping ONLY when playing songs from my digital music library.I am at my wits end and ready to scrap Sonos after a year of frustration and troubleshooting.Until last fall, my home library (80 GB of mp3s) played just fine. Suddenly (sometime between October and November 2024), songs would play about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way through and then skip to the next, sometimes it would play just a few seconds. Sometimes it just stops playing altogether. It will be fine for a few songs and then all of a sudden start skipping. It seems to get worse, skipping sooner and more often (until I get annoyed and turn it off). It ONLY affects playing songs from my iTunes music library. There have been no other issues with any other service, including Sonos Radio, Amazon, Spotify; they all play just fine.My system includes 2 x Play:5, 2 x Play:3, Play:1, Sonos Move. I removed the Sonos Bridge during troubleshooting.I have Sonos S1 Controller installed in Win 11 Home (i7-8700 CPU@ 3.

After the last update, my Sub G3 that I use with my ARC now sounds weaker and I have to increase the volume of the sub from the application when before I didn't even have to do it. The worst part is that if I turn off the Sub G3, the ARC sounds with more bass than the Sub itself.

I am heavily invested in Sonos, but I’ve just about had enough with it. I have probably spent in total several weeks of my life trying to fix random issues with it.The latest issue I have, I bought an Arc Ultra and 2 Era 300s to go in my lounge to replace an existing arc and 2 One SLs. They would not connect, lots of issues, hours on the phone to support (which by the way I’m STILL waiting to hear back from with a solution!). After a bit of Copilot help, I think i fixed the issue, which was to enable IGMP on my Draytek Vigour router. I thought I might have finally resolved the issue. However, this in turn has caused another issue, which is to stop a pair of Fives (and a Sub) set up in a stereo pair from working.One of the Fives connects and plays, but the other constantly shows as an issue annd no longer connected along with the Sub. If i play music on the one which is connected, the other one will randomly play along with the sub, then cut out, then play, then cut out. Then the whole

Pandora always skips. I have a pandora app on my iphone and it plays perfectly there, but on sonos it plays 2-3 songs, gives an error and stops. Is anything wrong with sonos?

2 questions. Can I get rid of/delete TV from your sources and delete Your services completely? also, will the thumbnails ever work properly? Or how do I get them to work properly? 

The last few days someone has been able to get into my Sonos system and control it.  I was on the phone with Sonos today but they don’t know what is going on.  They had me doing the diagnostics many times today.  They are lost.  I have changed all my passwords to my Wifi and Sonos.  It didn’t help.  We have a house wide system and they keep getting on and turning the outdoor system to full volume.  It is bugging the neighbors.  We have 4 amps powering a home theatre and two subs in the backyard.  We have a theatre night planned for tomorrow but this may be done.  I am going to power it down for now but I need help.  I found this on youtube Is this true.  While I was typing they just did it again.  

Hello,I am unable for some time to launch a radio from a title from Spotify from the Sonos app. The app says “the connection to Spotify have been lost”. The connection to Spotify is active (everything else related to Spotify works) I’ve tried to reauthorise the account - changes nothing I have this issue with any titleThank you for your help

antes que nada, saludar a todos en el canal. Deciros que seguramente se encuentren muchas personas en el mismo problema que tuve yo, por eso quiero compartirlo. Un día mi SONOS ONE dejo de conectarse a la red sin mas… después de muchas investigaciones, de hablar con servicio tecnico que me recomendó hablar con el proveedor de mis conexiones porque tenia una configuración del router o red muy complicada que realizar… Ese dia descubrí el problema… es una tontería. Todos los extensores de red wifi modernos vienen con 2 bandas 2,4 ghz y 5g. pues el sonos one no reconoce la 5g solo puede configurarse por la 2,4ghz. Solo desconectando momentáneamente la 5g se soluciona el problema de inmediato. No hace falta hacer nada mas, ni llevar todo a ajustes de fabricas ni nada… es super sencillo, lo que antes estaba horas para buscar sin llegar a buen puerto, ahora en un segundo se conecta… solo es eso, 2,4 ghz… Espero ayudar a mucha gente. Saludos Cordiales. Moderator edit: adding Google Translation

Music cuts out on the playbar only, not on any other Sonos product. *Can’t edit my spelling on topic heading* 😩

Sub mini is connected but no sub sound connected to Sonos Beam gen 2

I was listening this morning when the speakers made a pop/crackle sound and audio stopped. Receiver still plays with other inputs or apple air play. So it’s the port unit. I need suggestions on trouble shooting the port device. 

I am unable to add shared folder on my Brennan B3 from my sonos app.  The pathway doesnt work even though I follow all steps. Can anyone help?
