S2 controller for PC color scheme

My S2 controller for PC has a black background with dark grey sliders to grab and scroll through the song titles.  I can hardly see the dark grey sliders due to lack of color contrast against the black background.  I see that this has been a complaint on here for a decade, yet the controller’s skin color  is still nearly unreadable.  What is the solution for this S2 controller problem?

Search Experience

Everytime a guest comes over and tries to search for a song using my android devices they fail.Without exception. I can see the frustration with the search user interface. I have to step in every time and explain the tabs on the top and the bucketing of results by service and how to drill down.Everyone trips up on the search UI. This is the most important feature. It also poorly represents the product for potentially new users. There has to be a better way

Sub Gen 3 - Uneven panel gap

I just got my Sonos Sub gen 3. At closer inspection the panel gap on the back of the sub differs between 0-2mm. (See images) Is this to be expected? Should it affect the sound in any way? If it’s only cosmetic I can live with it. Even if I’m a bit disappointed with the craftsmanship for such an expensive product

sanus ss22 are you happy with them?

Ok, I’ve read the long threads on safety for sanus wss22 speaker stands ( after ordering a pair) , now my question is,… is anyone happily using them with no issues?? Mine will be here next week but have I wasted my money?? I don’t have young children and an old dog but they will be behind the sofa where people walk past umpteen times a day , I opted for sanus due to price and the fact they are a tad higher than the rest and the back of my sofa sits at like 33” … I am a tiny bit concerned I’ve wasted my money??? Any reassurance from anyone?? thanks

CD / Bluray player for use with a Sonos system

Greetings,My current setup includes a Sonos Beam and a few Play / One models that I would like to put together in my living room. I currently have a CD player and a TV that share the Beam using an HDMI switch. This works, but the drawbacks are:“TV volume is fixed”, which means I can’t use the remote control to change the sound (so either I walk to the Beam or I have to use my phone); the CD player outputs is music solely to the Beam, as expected from the setup of course.I would like to be able to play my CDs in the same way that I play my local FLAC files on my system: selecting which outputs should be use, setting up the volume of each device individually or globally, etc. Is there a reasonably priced CD player that could be used for that? I understand that I could buy a Sonos Port and connect my current CD player, but the price deters me. I don’t care about streaming services. Blu-Ray capabilities would be a plus as I have a few 5.1 records in that format.I welcome suggestions from e

Sonos alarms : Please stop the loop playback

Hello, I have been a Sonos customer for years, I have several speakers (3 Play:1, 1 One, 1 Amp, 1 Beam, 1 Move, 1 Roam).In my room, I usually listen to music to fall asleep (at very low volume) and to wake up (at higher volume).To do this, I created two playlists: "Bedtime" (3 Mike Oldfield albums, in the original order), and "Wake up" (Genesis albums in random mode).To automate all this, I have an alarm at 7:20 am ("Wake up" playlist for 15 min) and then, 20 min later, an alarm with the "Sleep" playlist at the lowest possible volume, for 1 minute.This way, at night, I only have to press the speaker to start the music (or start an Alexa routine, which will turn off the lights, tell me my appointments for the next day and then start the playlist again on the Sonos in the room)But there’s one thing that complicate my life, though:- For alarm playlists, you can shuffle them or not, but for loop playback, you have no choice: it's on by default.This means that every morning, after one minut

Is there any point in pretending everything is okay when we know something is really wrong?

The first thing I have to say is that I am a big Sonos fan, especially when it comes to audio, and this caught my attention from the first sound, so I'm here with a beam bar, 2 play 1s, and a play 5. I have everything wired except the play 5, everything works perfectly, but the play 5. Now. I have reserved my play 5 IP and make it static, it works good for some time, the it disappears and I have to plug it off and plug it back in to make it work. Now, to my title, I have seen many people complaining here and there about sonos dissapearing from the app, usually the people got the blame for x or y, but the fact that the system needs an auto refresh recover system that won’t imply the user doing technicalities, in a perfectly working wifi with low noise and good reception, is just needed, is totally there! You guys from Sonos blaming always the users won’t help this great company, is always the situation with the user having “not done something” but is never the system, come on! Set a goo

Dual Sub mini setup

With the introduction of sub mini how many people would love to see Sonos update the system to allow for dual sub mini’s to be added to a room setup rather then using its bigger brother?

Hidden Mic in Playbar?

Hi, due to some stalker issues, I’ve had to locate and disable all the microphones lurking in my home.  A recent sweep of the whole house lit up my old-fashioned Sonos Playbar as having a hidden microphone in the front right area.  The technician was adamant that his microphone-hunting device was keying on a mic hidden behind the fabric of the Playbar.  I did’t feel like destroying the front of the Playbar to uncover the mic, so we just unplugged it until I could get some feedback on this.  Any ideas?

Stima per Sonos

Un prodotto, che conosco ormai da 10 anni e devo dire che me ne sono innamorato fino dall’inizio per la qualità ma non solo anche per la semplicità d’utilizzo! strano? ma è proprio così il prodotto è sempre stato al centro tra ti uso come utente base o ti uso come utente evoluto, ed è proprio per questo che ha fatto successo!!! ...ora vuole sapere se questa condizione potrà continuare? questo lo saprete solo voi se se se se riuscerete ad essere  abbastanza fedeli (cosa che non mi sembra) o abbastanza onesti e trasparenti (cosa che non mi sembra)!!! il momento è DURO per tutti quindi cerchiano di renderlo più facile tanto per gli altri quanto per noi stessi… SONOS 😋

sonos back Upfiring speakers

I don't know why sonos won't release an upfiring speaker Everybody buys it for the home theater experience but you're not getting the true Atmos  Experience without the rear upfireing speakers  and some 1sl upfireing speakers for on the right and left of the arc  I think sonos is falling behind other  Companies in soundbar and sound technology  Don't get me wrong I love my sonos  System but if it doesn't change People are gonna go elsewhere

roam and google assistant cannot select bbc radio

See this thread JUnable to play BBC Stations though Google Assistant defaults to Tunein-bbc-stations-though-google-assistant-defaults-to-tunein-6868629 I have no idea how you justify closing it with no fix. I am forced to use alexa but it is very definitely not a fix for me.Just to ge clear, my issue is inability to select bbc stations with Google assistant (nor with sonos) I can only do this with the alexa assistant and thats not how I wishbto use my sonos roam. I would appreciate it if this thread is only closed if a solution has been made (and for me using alexa is not a solution)

Your customer service and support is a faliure

After spending 90 minutes on the call with your customer service (Dante), and going through various and unnecessary steps, I was told that the product is not working and after 12 months 4 days, you would not replace my Sonos Move. Just unacceptable. I have purchased several products and was about to buy the new subwoofer, and will be auctining off my entire sonos system after the worst customer service ever!!!!

Mycroft AI Request

I see that past requests around Mycroft AI integration for voice assistants have been closed. I am opening a new thread to continue to show users who are looking for this functionality.  I own multiple non-voice assistant Sonos products, but I would like to buy an assistant-enabled one, however I don't use any of the assistants currently supported. Please work on OEM integration for Mycroft!

Need to update 14.18 on every iOS device?

A few hours ago I updated to Version 14.18 via my iPhone XR; it took 2 tries. My system is a Boost, Office (2 Ones gen2), Move and TV (Beam gen 2 & 2 Ones gen 1 as surrounds). Everything showed as updated and seemed to work well.  A few hours later I wanted to use my wife’s iPhone 13 to control the TV and was prompted to update on her device.  That took 4 tries, but everything finally showed as 14.18.  An hour after that, opened my MacBook Air to check a photo album while watching TV (using the Beam and surrounds) and was prompted to update to 14.18 on my Mac.  So, my question is - does every device used to access the Sonos App ( 2 iPhones, a Mac and an iPad) need to be individually updated? I do not recollect going thru all these device by device updates previously.  Thx
