General feedback and conversation

Got this in my email. 

Still wondering when the step in CEO will ever make a comment/ post  on this total app blunder that Sonos has created. So many still having issues according to the posts I read..here and in the FB Sonos groups. 

Dear Sonos Team,I am writing to express my profound frustration with the Sonos app on macOS. For over a year, the app has been unable to detect my Sonos speakers, rendering it virtually useless. Despite numerous attempts to troubleshoot—reinstalling the app, updating macOS, and ensuring all devices are on the same network—the problem persists. This ongoing issue has significantly diminished my experience with your products.I am not alone in this frustration. Many users have reported similar problems on various forums, highlighting a widespread issue with the Sonos app on Mac. For instance, a user on the Sonos Community forum mentioned that their Sonos desktop app stopped working correctly on their MacBook Pro, displaying a message saying, "Searching for your Sonos System..." and failing to connect.

Hiare there any release notes to this update available?thanksDom

I cut my DirectTV cable a few months ago and have been streaming Video. I have my TV’s connected to SONOS Soundbars along with surounds everthing works great. In the past it has been shut off the TV turn on dinner music. Tonight rather than listen to my playlists I selected Pandora, Amazon is there too. Sorry this is on my Apple TV. It is easy to just select pick what you want and also sounds great. However it only plays on the SONOS products connected to the TV. Most of the searches for how to play SONOS on your TV deal with connecting your speakers to the TV directly or ith AirPlay. I want to see the SONOS App on my APPLE TV scren. I can then select where and what music to plqy via my Hardware Apple TV. I can do it with my phone or laptop. i know that SONOS and Apple had a deal together awhile ago and I am aware of Apple Music which I do not subscribe to.  Just asking if and how to do this? Also I saw Orto for SONOS that claims to do this but have no further i

I’m sure this has been talked about many times, but I’m making my voice heard on it as well.  Sonos, you guys need some good PR, so how about adding some more flexibility to your products? Please consider adding additional functionality to Move 2 when it detects it is in the cradle.  There really is no technical reason for the Move 2 to not support a sub when it is stationary and in the dock. In fact, in a runabout way I am running this exact setup by pairing a sub mini to a dead symfonisk speaker as a gateway, which then gets grouped with my moves in stereo. It sounds great! Consider that many people tailgate and do outdoor events with large batteries, who would love to plug in a sub mini by their camp for a bit of extra oomph. Maybe you could consider a portable sub for this exact purpose.  It shouldn’t be difficult to make a “docked only” setting, and make it clear to users it will disconnect when the speaker is removed.  And

Artist tracks were listed in top songs and under album titles until I started using sonos voice assistant. From then on track lists disappeared, and amazon would play random tracks from unrelated artists. I've checked my amazon account subscription which is up to date, there's no Internet connection issues either. I've removed voice assistant, uninstall and reset sonos app. But still all tracks are missing. I've read there's previously been issues with other services after voice control though I'm not sure if ever this issue was resolved. Advice is appreciated. 

Would love to see a 5 band to 10 band EQ. I have tried Trueplay and the BASIC tone controls. To be honest, doesn’t do it. Plus, I would like to control the sound as I want to hear it not some algorithm or some other human determining how I should hear it.  Additionally, after the Sonos App update fiasco, would be a good gesture of faith, good customer service and proof you do listen to your customers.

I use the Sonos app on my MacBook Pro as I can edit playlists with it. it's now asking me to update the app! I'm reluctant to do so, due previous experience. Anyone else have experience of the latest Mac App update?

I had a green solid light on my sonos roam after connecting it to a (new) wireless charging base, which I hadn't seen before. I wanted to know what it was indicating and searching for »Sonos Roam green light« I found the article for Roam charging light indicators, where no green light was mentioned.So i went to ask support and had a chat with the Bot who told me the product shouldn't be able to have a green light (which is a lie) and asking me over and over if it was correct the light was green. When I asked to talk to an agent it agreed, but then closed the chat tab/window and I was back on the Support page (where I had opened the chat from) with the “Start a chat” buttoned greyed out and changed to “Chat in progress”, with no way to reopen the chat from there.With no way to open the chat again (and not finding a closed tab in my history or recent closed tabs) I tried searching for »Sonos light indicator« to see if it might be related to something else than bat

Seeing information about Trump’s Trade War If I purchase a Sonos product now, will I have to pay an additional 25 per cent now, or are the products made prior to the trade war tariff free?Are the Tariffs compounding?  Will the 25% tariff on Chinese components and the 25% tariff on Canadian products mean I pay an extra 50% for Sonos?  If yes, does that mean when I have it shipped to Canada, do I have to pay an extra 75% or just 25%?Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

Is it just me or is it getting worse? I can't get any speakers to connect anymore.  What a waste of money.

Hello Everyone,The internal power card on my Sonos Sub 3 went KO 3 months after warranty expired.I called the Sonos support and found that there was no way to get it fixed.In return, I sent the Sonos sub 3 back to Sonos and they sent me a 30% discount code for the purchase of a new Sonos sub 4.I then wanted to place an order via sonos.com and three times, I received a cancellation message of my order vaguely indicating 3 reasons without further explanation.I then called each time the sales team, and no explanation was given to me in return.Given the premium price charged by Sonos, where is the value of its sales and after-sales service? Stephane B Moderator Edit - Removed and recorded order numbers.

Shall I just throw this damn system in the canal and be done with it?Never have i had to use such a clunky and unfriendly system. FFS this stuff shoulf be easy but at every step Sonos goes into a loop or hangs. Canal it is.

Used to be so great. Getting ready to throw this junk in the Ocean after I spent thousands on it. I just want to know why it sucks so bad now.

I’m interested in a community view before I spend potentially hours on support.I used to be a big fan, but it seems to me that Sonos app has gone from best in class to one of my worst app experiences.  Some details:Five speakers, four Play 1 and one Sonos Beam System always says it is up to date.  Currently S2 build 80.14 Generally takes 10+ seconds for any response (finding the system, play, pause, etc.) which is an eternity when the phone is ringing and you have music blasting. Randomly connects and disconnects speakers, sometimes refusing to change music.  My Beam, for example, will only play Handel’s Messiah this morning, I guess because I played it three months ago???  I cannot get it to play what I have going on other speakers.  It is like my dedicated Messia speaker. Sonos used to ask me what speakers I wanted to play on before starting play.  Now it starts play, then I can add and drop speakers.  This again might sound l

I'm moving to a new home and happened to get a promotion for 25% off for 20 years and then I saw on the site when I was shopping that they had an upgrade and I have a bunch of older sonas equipment that I'm leaving with the home I'm selling. Lo and behold even with all these discounts the price is still $20 higher for an arc that I can get it at Best Buy or Costco. Crock of crap.

I’m very disappointed that Sonos radio plays tracks that have profanity without having warnings….Actually what really bothers me is the inability to remove songs from being played. It’s not like the "radio” stations are actually actively DJ’d by real people. I have these stations playing in a healthcare office setting where a broad demographic of people come through so profanity really doesn’t set the mood. I’ve liked Sunset Fuzz and Poet’s Corner to name a few and each have a song or two that comes on that has profanity. Is it possible to add functionality to remove songs? Or to provide lists of the tracks played? Realistically, these stations are just a playlist since you hear repeats several times a day…It also seems that these forums have a ton of sections for managing the hardware, but not a whole lot to communicate about the music services that sonos offers. IMO the stations and music are a big part of “sonos product”.

I know from experience that its a lot more work to develop a landscape layout for Android so i have nothing to say about the Landscape layout but there's really no excuse for this portrait layout not scaling thats basic Android development and its not hard to implement. I mean i could understand it if it was a complex UI but its pretty basic. How's it looking on other people's non smartphone devices. Galaxy Tab S10 ultra If Android itself can adapt the layout for a larger screen so easily then why not let it do it :/ Moderator edit: Combined posts

The volume sliders - esp. on phone screens - to me, anyway, are imprecise and the lag slays me.It would be a neat feature if you could, say, double-tap on the slider and enter the specific number you want the speaker to go to.I know* you’re still fixing the things that broke in the update [checking notes] last May, so this is a lower priority. But I would think it wouldn’t be difficult to code?

Ik wil mijn internet wachtwoord  op mijn foon resetten. Kunnen jullie zeggen hoe ik dat het beste kan doen? Ik heb een samsung 24+. Alles is ingesteld met de foon van mijn zoon. Ik hoop dat jullie mij kunnen helpen 

Will you guys PLEASE bring back the option to 1) bring up the volume for each room that is playing in a group when the master volume slider is tapped on screens where the entire album art is showing or all the groups are showing? Currently the only way you can bring up the volumes for each room is by tapping the pill shape button at the bottom of the screen, or by swiping down to where your room that you are playing is minimized to the bottom of the screen. Then clicking on the master volume slider will bring up the volumes for each room. 2) For the love of music please add mute buttons to all of the screens where the volume can be adjusted. It makes absolutely zero sense that you have to swipe down then tap the volume slider to bring up The rooms and then and only then can you mute rooms and then to unmute them you have to go back through the same process.Please Don't limit us to only being able to mute and unmute after swiping through and clicking through to differen

Hi, I’m in the process of buying a new home theater. I already have 6 other Sonos systems that I really liked when the app worked well (and I still like the sound but hate the erratic app). I already lost a beam soundbar that I is no longer recognized in my system even after getting Sonos tech support involved. I used to be a Bose customer - I will appreciate advice on if more experienced audiophiles would buy Sonos or recommend a competitor product today. Thanks in advance.

I don’t know about the rest of you but…Customer Service seems to think I have all day to allow someone who doesn’t know what they are doing to try and help me.  I spent 1 hour 23 minutes on the phone with them today.  Apparently they are all in the Philippines.  The first person I spoke to gave me ridiculous tasks toward resolving my problem.  She was obviously typing and simply reading from a script.  After about 20 minutes of that, I asked for a supervisor.  The supervisor spent the remainder of the 1+23 trying to resolve the issue, three times saying “Oh, I know what the problem is now, we’ll have it fixed in no time.  Wrong.  After the third time, I asked for a higher level of technician because he was not able to resolve the issue.  I shared my frustration after paying a lot of money for the Arc Ultra, two Sub 4, 2 ERA 300, 4 Five, 2 Playbar, 1 Port, 3 Connect, and tired of dealing with a finicky app and not getting timely help...which all fell on dear ears.  Oh, did I m
