Fix & Optimize

I have old products but they still work and sound great so I really dont want to upgrade if I dont have to.  I have an old play 1 and Play 5 (from like 2015 or something).  I just cancelled xfinity and switched to a t mobile gateway.  It is connected to an eero mesh wifi system.  I connected my play 5 directly to the wifi router via an ethernet cable.  by holding down the mute and play button on each speaker it started playing music but the app cant connect to the system or find any products.  I have tried rebooting the modem, router, and speakers but still no luck.  Luckily I like the music that is playing but I have no way to control it since the app cant find the products.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

My recommend tracks and albums on tidal are up to date with new music, but when I access via sonos the content hasn't changed in months. I have reauthorised etc but no change? Any advice welcome 

I cannot connect my SONOS products to my new WIFI Router (Asus RT-BE58U) which I made sure was Sonos compatible. Have router set to 2.4 GHz; have tried resetting router and modem. When I select “update network” and get “let’s update wifi settings prompt….with list of speakers. I select and add a speaker, and (after bouncing balls) press join button and finally enter password. At this point prompt says “make sure you reusing the correct password.” Have tried this many, many times with most of the speakers in the list…same result. I know password is correct as I  have added laptop, desktop and printer to the network with this password. Next thought, add Sonos boost to setup, Same result???

My playbar and sub work fine on streaming but they drop out when playing my music library, all the rest of my speakers do fine . I ve got two speakers hard wired. Sonos sucks so bad but i m heavily invested 

Hey there! A few weeks ago I moved to another department, so I noticed than the volume of the spekaer it’s lower than a normal use on the another department. The room size it’s very similar and the wall material too.  For example, on the another departen used level 30 and on the new the normal volume it’s level 55-60. The Atmos sounds a little lower than stereo. I tried factory reset and setup trueplay to many times but nothing works. Someone haped a simmilar issue?

Since I returned from a short holiday this week the (updated) apps on my iPhone and iPad do no longer show my music services (or recently played - but that does not bother me as much). I see the app looking for the services (first picture) but after a few seconds it just gives up and just shows blank avatars (that do not work) for the services. This makes the app useless. Has anyone come across this phenomenon? Did you find a cure? 

HelloMy sonos play 5 gen 1 doesn't work. I have no led turn on even if I disconnect an connect a new power cable.Can you help me?Thanks

In order to connect my LG Smart TV to my Arc do I need an additional HDMI cable? 

I have just had to reconnect my Play1 and Play3 and all of me old SONOS playlists have been removed ?? Can i get them back ??

Beautiful, sturdy headphones. The case is excellent. They're intuitive to use and have excellent sound quality, even for an inexperienced ear like mine. The only thing I'm not so thrilled with right now is that the earcups make me sweat over time and cause some problems when wearing glasses: the earcups press hard, causing the arms to shift into an unnatural position and making it difficult to put my glasses back in place.I haven't tried other headphones from the same family yet to see if I'd have the same problem with competing headphones.So I can say I'm very happy with my purchase: they're just a stone's throw away from excellence.

I had my Sonos Arc Soundbar receive commands for Hunter Douglas shade operation.  Alexa still responses to commands but in Alexa is completely silent during operation, no sounds.  It had been working for years but suddenly a couple weeks ago it remains silent.  It’s nice to here the activation sound, not hearing it I don’t know if the command was received.

Hi,I’ve just purchased a Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable and Sonos Era 100 ‘bundle’ - set up this afternoon with no issues and everything’s working, however…The volume is really low (especially when compared to streaming music) I’ve adjusted all the settings, Line-In set to 10, volume limit off etc. but it’s just too quiet!Am I missing something obvious, or does anyone have any other suggestions?Thanks,

Hi, I have a Sony KD-AG965 I bought a Sonos Arc Ultra today. It will not connect to the tv no matter what I try, I have done all the trouble shooting things I can find online. Full reset, power cycles of both, HDMI cable change, Bravia Sync off and power off etc. The tv know there is something connected to HDMI eARC but then I go to set up it can’t play a sound nor will the app detect a CEC connection. Just says CEC not connected.Anyone had these issues?my next options are to try the bar on another TV and another bar on my TV.

Hi All,I fear there is no solution to this but I’m hoping someone has a good idea. I have a playbar with a connected sub and surround speakers. No matter what I try… the Nintendo Switch 2 will only output to stereo which is super disappointing. I’ve tried to set the tv to passthrough the audio signal but no luck there. Screenshot below of the petulant screen displayed by the Nintendo. Appreciate an old soundbar but it’s been solid for a decade and works great with the PS5!  

I’m using a Sonos Era 100 stereo pair connected via Bluetooth to a Google TV 4K streamer. I’m really impressed with the sound quality, but there’s an issue — the audio sometimes stutters, as if the left and right speakers momentarily hiccup. It feels like a plane gliding smoothly but suddenly hitting air turbulence. This happens about once every 5–10 minutes.Is there any way to fix this?no issue with wifi streaming, 

I’ve been a loyal Sonos user for years. Two or three years ago, everything worked flawlessly — I could ask Alexa to play music, group rooms instantly, and enjoy a reliable system that just worked.Now, it feels like a never-ending battle just to get sound playing. Speakers constantly drop or need to be re-paired. Alexa almost never works — I keep getting “station not found” or similar messages — so I always have to open the app manually to start music. Even then, certain speakers show up while others disappear and then reappear minutes later.I’ve spent hours trying every fix I can find online: rebooting the router, reinstalling the Sonos app, re-pairing speakers, resetting Alexa, rebooting devices, toggling between my regular Wi-Fi and 5G network… nothing provides lasting stability.It’s incredibly frustrating that a system that once felt bulletproof has become this unreliable. I really hope Sonos acknowledges the ongoing connectivity and app instability issues, because longtime customer

Sonos Arc here.  Pretty much at my wits end on setting up my Sonos Arc using Trueplay.  Trueplay worked fine right out of the box.  Since then have rearranged some furniture in the room and wanted to run Trueplay again.  Now has background noise problems when I try to run it.  Everything turned off, everything has been rebooted, access to my iPhone 14 microphone is fine, but every time I try to run it there is always a background noise error message. Nothing is running.  No one is making any noise.  Very annoying.  The one thing I have not done is to call Sonos.  That will probably be my next step.

Hello all. My father in law has a play 3 in his dining room, playbar in the the lounge and we bought him a play 1 for his garage.Up till now he has run home wifi with a sonos BOOST in a room closest to his garage to help the play 1 work.  However recently he wanted more wifi signal in his garage and workshop so he bought a uniFi wifi switch which by the sounds of it creates a network extension into his garage. Now the Play 1 works for a while and is spotted on the app. But then starts to drop out and then eventually sonos app can't find the play 1 at all.  To add to the mystery he plugged in a play 3 in the garage and it worked faultlessly and has yet to drop out or disappear.Neither one of us are network orientated. So any help on why the play1 is misbehaving would be great. His words are below of the issue: "Ref sonosHouse WiFi is supplied by Vodafone. Cable from Vodaphone router to UniFi switch. So house is Vodafone. Garage via switch comes up in the garage ( network ) extension via

New Sonos devices drastically reduce my wifi speed. Like a lot. Can’t work. And yes, my router and service are fine.

Since the last update, I’ve been having issues streaming from Sonos Five. I’ve noticed in my router logs it seems to be switching from Ethernet to Wifi and have no idea why. My Sonos Five is connected directly to my router by a ethernet cable. Over the years, I have had more trouble with Sonos than any other device. 

We have just bought a Sonos Arc that we have connected to our Sony TV via the HDMI Arc port using the cable that came with the Sonos. We have a Sky Q box connected to the TV via another HDMI port. The sound settings on the Sky Q are set to Dolby Digital Plus. We’re impressed with the sound quality.However, we can’t hear any sound from certain channels, including the YouTube App. We also get no sound from YouTube if we connect to it directly from the TV rather than via Sky Q. I’m presuming this is because those channels that are ‘silent’ are not broadcasting in HD? If we set the Sky Q sound setting to Normal we can’t hear any sound at all through the soundbar on any TV channel.Any ideas?Thanks

I am running a Sonos S1 controller with a series 1 Sonos 3, Sonos 5 and Connect.I have been trying to set up a music library on my Western Digital NAS, MyCloud Home, but keep getting the reponse error 900 which then wants me to change the server stack in my windows registry.Is this for real? Surely there must be some other way? 

My setup is for TV surround sound. A SONOS Play Base connected to a TV, via optical cable with a SONOS Sub and two SONOS Play 5s and all was working fine until my TV broke.I bought a new Samsung TV (Samsung QLED QEF1 4K), but it doesn't support optical output. Most of the new TVs available don't seem to support optical output, and I know the SONOS Play Base only accepts optical input.The TV has HDMI ARC, so I tried to find a solution - HDMI ARC output from TV to Optical input to Play Base, with a converter of some sort. When I contacted SONOS support, they told me no such solution exists and to buy either a new, different TV or a new SONOS sound bar product.ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS PLEASE??Yes I know there is a  Optical Audio Adapter | Sonos : from SONOS, but this only does Optical to HDMI ARC, not the other way around.Thanks for any help - Stephen
