BBC Sounds authorisation link fails. It was working OK until yesterday. I've deleted and tried to add to my system but keeps failing. Is there an issue?

I'm reaching out to suggest a feature enhancement for the SONOS PC application that I believe would significantly enrich our user experience: the introduction of Global Hotkeys, reminiscent of the classic Winamp player.For those unfamiliar, Global Hotkeys in Winamp allowed users to control basic music playback functions (play, pause, skip, etc.) using keyboard shortcuts, regardless of whether the application was in focus. This feature was a game-changer in terms of convenience and efficiency, enabling users to manage their music seamlessly while engaged in other tasks on their PC.Implementing Global Hotkeys in the SONOS PC application would bring a similar level of functionality and ease of use. Imagine being able to control your SONOS sound system with simple key combinations, without the need to switch windows or interrupt your workflow. This feature would be especially beneficial for users who often multitask on their computers, providing a way to enjoy and manage their SONOS experi

Hi!I purchased a Sonos Beam 2 last week.After I set up the devise on the Sonos app but it didn’t have anything pop-up regarding to the apple music promo. I also checked my inbox on the app, there are nothing in my inbox. So I contacted customer support, but they answered that such promo is for ERA-buyers only? It it true? Cause I saw an ad on the website with description of Sonos Beam, that’s why I‘m confused. 

Hello.  thanks for reading.  Two topics that may be related. I’ve had my Sonos system set up for about 5 years with help from this community.  Pretty much no problems after the initial kinks were worked out.  I’m in a rural area and had been using Verizon wireless, a grandfathered plan for the house.  A few weeks back, we got Starlink and I have that installed with no obstructions. I have the Starlink installed with their router, turned off in bridge mode, with an ethernet adapter, going to a Unifi Router.  The router feeds a Unifi switch with various rooms connected by ethernet (even though it obviously goes back to Starlink).   Ever since the install, one room in particular (the kitchen) will have music drop out from playing but you can still hear audio from the paired sub.  Then the music will return for a while, then drop out again for about 30 seconds.  Random.    I have unplugged all devices, re-booted the router, plugged them one by one, assigned fixed IP addresses.   Worked for

That way we can delete redundant posts or accidental ones ourselves. Thanks!

Not supporting a feature that has been available on iPhone for more than a year, is a serious drawback to the the service and end user experience. When will Sonos begin supporting this feature?

When there is an outage the pop-up appears on every page opened or refreshed and that gets old rather quickly when looking at a lot of pages.Could it be changed so that the pop-up is shown once per visit (maybe a cookie) so it doesn’t have to be closed time after time, just once.

This song was being demo’d on the Sonos set at Best Buy on 9/15/23, and I can’t find it anywhere!My video on YouTube of unsearchable Sonos songI cannot find it anywhere. It's not on Shazam or SoundHound... no search of lyrics or combination will lead to anything. The closest I found was Sukihana - "Price Going Up" (from her classic album, "WOLF PUSSY,") but it's definitely not the same song.thank you

Has anyone returned a duplicate order before? I placed a 2nd order because I missed out on a cash back opportunity. Probably a dumb question but if the orders are the same exact set does it matter which one I send back? I’m guess yes because of serial numbers.  🤔

I have AT&T fiber and has worked flawlessly. Recently, last couple of days I’ve had WiFi drops. Tech came out this morning and changes a wire outside . Nothing else was changed. I have the same modem router and same password as before. Everything in the house is connected to WiFi and working. Two rooms  with Arc, sub, and ones are working. However , app says Sonos not found and has to be on the same network as devices.  Only thing I see different is iPad has this privacy warning on the WiFi (see pic) but iPhone does not..Again , same everything as before. Pics show what I’m experiencing . Ideas?  

I installed Sonos in my living room with the following configuration: * Beam Gen 2 connected via HDMI Arc to my TV* 2x Sonos Era 300 on the back of my sofa* Apple TV with Plex, Netflix, Disney+,...* Trueplay calibration doneSo far, I'm disappointed with the result. The content watched isn't just movies and the sources vary (Plex, Netflix, Disney+ and TV channels).I find that the Era 300s at the rear don't add much. The sound has to be at a certain level for that to be the case. But the sound isn't often high, because there are 6 of us and someone always thinks it's too loud.I previously had HomePod v1s, which weren't bad at all, although their main use wasn't as TV speakers, but for music. It was more a Logitech Z906 kit. What was particularly good about the Z906s was the ability to choose the source of the sound, and in particular to output the same sound to all the speakers. This means, for example, that dialogue can also be heard on the rear speakers, thus reducing the sound level,

Didn’t see this posted anywhere else, but the Boost is officially dead. It has shuffled off its mortal coil, it is nailed to the perch, etc.https://support.sonos.com/en-us/article/boost-end-of-saleIt did a fine job for nine years, but SonosNet is clearly getting deprecated and some will have to live with crappy home routers not working correctly causing speakers to vanish from the app randomly.

It would be great if sonos would support Fcast Technology. It is an opensource protocol and would be an amazing way to support direct casting for Android phones and other Clients. https://fcast.org/

Hello all, I’m extremely frustrated with SONOS customer support. I purchased a move, saved up and purchased a second one to use together. I mistakingly assumed or missed in the small print that these portable speakers can not pair via bluetooth. When I explained this to a customer service agent she was kind and understanding, she set me up with a return and said there will be no problem returning the second move that was purchased a few months previously, that it would just require some additional paperwork because it’s just over 45 days.I moved on and accepted that I would have to use another product so I went ahead and ordered replacements after being told a return wouldn’t be a problem. So I waited, followed up, waited, followed up and eventually got a reply that my return request was denied because I was just over the time limit.  If this was the case I don’t understand why I was told I would be able to return the second unit, or why a request was even made given that the represent

Fantastic experience returning my Era 300. I followed Sonos directions for returning merchandise and the day they received my return they processed my refund.  Customer service was quick to respond to my questions and provided helpful information. On 2 seperate occasions I had issues with my orders, both were problems I created. Customer service was excellent in helping me and I have no worries should I need assistance in the future.  All in all, my experiences have been positive and their customer service is a model other companies should strive to emulate.

Current groups setup for alarms is ridiculous. If there is a reason that Sonos can't set up alarms with groups attached, please let us know. Thx

Hi All, please can anyone shed some light on this for me please. I'm an avid listener of Armin van Buuren. On  Fridays he has a radio show called  ASOT ( a state of trance) which I listen to for the last couple of years.  Can someone please explain why this suddenly does not show up on any of my search results, it has simply disappeared from Deezer, it also used to be under‘Discography’, but no longer to be found anywhere? I’m really disappointed as it is theonly thing I listen to every week. many thanks in advance.  

Literally! After the SONOS website failed to process two of my orders in the past three weeks, its customer service team once more appalled me with their belligerent behavior. The outsourced team couldn’t care less about customer experience. They were the most impatient, most rude, and the most infuriating customer service staff I have ever encountered.On a separate topic, the SONOS website is seriously f*** up. After I updated my profile info, the field I tried to change remained the same while the website notified me that my profile was “successfully updated”. And when my orders didn’t go through, the website still gave me a confirmation page stating my order “has been successfully placed”.It seems nobody at SONOS cares about customer experience. What a shame and absolute disgrace!Moderator Note: Removed email and order number as personal information. Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

I need to forget the current system, ie Living Room, that I have created and start over. The command:Settings>System>Forget Current Sonos Systemis not available on the Sonos S2 appHow do I forget a system?  

Hi,since volume could not be change with physical bouton on iPhone with iOS, it would be great to add logical bouton (-) (+) to action volume step by step. Slider is very sensitive when volume is low and could be hard to set.any tips with that?

When I go through the “Recently active” link and start opening all the posts I have not yet seen I get to around 25-30 and suddenly pages stop opening and I get a Cloudfront “blocked” message instead. If I go do something else for a couple minutes I can return and reload the blocked pages with no problem, well unless there too many.Bumping the limit to 50 wouldn’t impact the forum’s security much and would be far less hassle for me.

My medical plan pays for a subscription to the Headspace meditation App.  I see Calm Meditation is lusted as a Service.  How does one suggest an Service gets added to the Sonos App? Headspace used to be an Alexa skill but it was dropped. 

Hi folks. I recently purchased a Sonos Roam but on delivery decided I did not want it. Box not opened. On printing the docs it is being returned to Poland. Is that right given I live in the UK. Also, the pro-forma invoices show I paid USD 68.97 when I paid GBP £134. I am concerned I am not going to be refunded the correct amount!

It’s seemingly impossible to get someone on the phone to assist with buying a Sonos product in Europe.  I have upgrade credits I want to use - forget the fact that I’m 95% sure they cannot be combined with Black Friday discounts - however, I simply can’t find telephone sales support. This company seems to be in ruins, generally.  The amount of technical support I needed just to reconnect an AMP after changing a WiFi router alone, was a poor enough experience for me to never buy another Sonos product.  Now they won’t even let me buy one since I can’t use an upgrade coupon. This would all be comical if it weren’t so ridiculous.  Help please. RDF

I didn’t save the box my Sonos Move came in and I have to return it?  Any suggestions for a secure box?
