Question

app defaults to wrong speakers when changing music selection

So the latest update is terrible. I have a Sonos beam and 2 satellites in the living room and a Sonos move 2 in my garage. The system in the living room is for movies and tv and I hardly ever use it for music. I listen to music in the garage as that’s where I work. In the new app , when I go to play music it defaults to the living room. So I have to change it to the garage. No biggie. Problem is that while listening to music in the garage, if I decide to change channels or genres it automatically defaults back to the living room instead of staying with the move 2 that was already playing music. Is there a way to change the default speakers to the move 2 and not the living room system?

Completely agree. Aweful update.  MAJOR lag.  Want to go back to the previous version. Have the same problem. Hope there’s a fix soon.

Agree! How can we change the default output, which seems to be the first of an alphabetical list- for my system it’s “basement,” where I rarely listen to sonos music. I wonder if I can reorder the outputs by renaming them to start with a number: “1kitchen”, “2basement”, etc

I have the same problem. It keeps defaulting to the bedroom, waking up my wife. Even after I unselect that Sonos speaker, it changes back when I switch music channels on SiriusXM. Maddening.

Same problem. Even after I change the output to the device I want, it sometimes does not “take”. Even when it does take and starts playing where I want, the device that shows up on the bottom of the screen is still the wrong device. 

 

I’m stunned at the lack of QA testing that went into this release.

I am having the same issue. Terrible experience. Keeps waking people in other rooms when I try to play music for myself in the middle of the night. Combined with the “improperly encoded’ messages on tracks that played perfectly previously, I am pretty much done with Sonos.

Same wrongly defaulting speaker issue with my set up.

Plus…

Imported playlists have disappeared: “No longer available”

Tapping on “Recently played” doesn’t work “Something went wrong. Try again”

App generally slow to react

If it ain’t broke...

Has anyone experienced Sonos disconnecting your mobile device from your WiFi network while using the Sonos app?

I don’t even know if that is possible but after the update I have been having intermittent WiFi disconnections/instability when using Sonos, just seems strangely coincidental
