Why can't I see the songs I personally upload to Soundcloud?

I uploaded a song I made into Soundcloud but it wont appear anywhere. I placed it into a playlist and made it public and still couldn’t see it. I also placed another song into the playlist that was popular and I could see that one, but my own upload did not appear. Am I missing something to listen to listen to my own songs?

Amazon Music no search results through Sonos app

I have Sonos App updated and Amazon Music unlimited. When I use the app on my phones and desktop it works perfectly. However when using the Sonos App on the laptop, when I do a search no results appear.I’ve updated the app. Reauthorised the service. Disconnected and reconnected to the network. Rebooted. Uninstalled and reinstalled all apps. Still not search results in the SOnos App when doing the same search as on the phone (yes spleed correctly).

Sub and surround not working when playing music

Hello everyone!I’ve been putting together my home theatre system. Initially I got two One SL and then the Sub Gen 3. When I paired the two Ones as stereo together with the Sub, it sounds fantastic.Today I got the Arc, so I decided to add it to my system. I don't have a TV yet, but I figured I can still add the Arc to the Ones and Sub and use it to play music. Adding everything together was a breeze and I can see in the Sonos app that the room says + Sub + LS + RS. Wi-Fi is turned off in all speakers, as everything is wired via ethernet.The problem is when I play music I only get output from the Arc. No sound is coming either from the Ones or from the Sub. If I remove the Arc and group the Ones and Sub in another room, they work as expected. Music is being streamed from Apple Music via the Sonos App.The Sub is turned on and the Eq settings are correct. Music playback in the room settings is set to “Full” and “music level” is 9 while “TV level” is set to 0. The Sub sound is turned up as

How can I get all of my Sonos devices to show up in S2?

I have five Sonos devices on my network: Play: 5, Play: 3, Beam, and two Connect: Amps. Now that I’m using S2 (on iPhone) I never see all of them. The one I use most, a Connect: Amp, is always there. If I leave the app open for a few minutes, sometimes one of the other ones will appear but no matter how long I wait, I never get all of them. I can unplug/restart the others and eventually get them to show up but they disappear again the next time I pull up the app.  What’s my next step in trying to fix this? Should I pull them off their mounts and do a factory reset?

Sonos Play 1 skipping songs on a particular type of playlist (1651581632)

I have playlists, where it always skip songs. We cannot determine the cause since on other players (browsers, media players, etc.) it works correctly.  Submitted a diagnostic report immediately after experiencing the skip: 1651581632 I play this file via TuneIn custom local radio. The URL is: http://www.zanjanisound.com/core/api/file/playlistts.m3u?id=113. It skips after some time or during the transition to the next song. It only consists of two songs.

Sonos sound cutting out

I have a playbar, 2x play:1 and sub in 5.1 configuration. Ocassionally the sound will start cutting - it only lasts for like a split second before it comes back but its annoying when suddenly all the sound is gone and then comes back - when it does this it will keep cutting out every few seconds and lasts for several minutes at a time What causes this and how do I fix it? Should I return it to the store for a refund? Thanks

intermittent connection issues (cannot connect to Spotify)

I'm experiencing a strange issue on a larger sonos s2 system (10 speakers). Every other day or so, I can no longer connect to any music services or connect to the update servers. It just says it "cannot connect". I can see all my speakers just fine.Weird thing is, whatever playlist i was playing before I can press play and it will play normally because it has some type of connection. The situation usually rights itself after a few hours, or I can usually fix it by restarting the router and at least one sonos speaker. And I've never had any audio drop outs.I have tried plugging in to the router and using SonosNet, I've tried configuring wifi, I've tried changing channels - same weird behavior. I'm using an eero pro (single, no mesh) and it is working just fine for all my other devices.I submitted a diagnostic at 1718527646 with my current wifi configuration.

One SL stuck in stereo after separating stereo

Hi,I have two One SL that used to be paired as stereo and everything was working just fine.I recently decided to separate them to have them in two rooms independently, and since then they both work as if they were on the left (or right, I don’t know) channel of stereo, instead of being mono.I tried resetting both of them but I get the same result.And they work perfectly in stereo when I recreate the stereo.Any advice ?Thanks

Google Nest Wifi and Sonos compatability

I have an Arc, Sub, and (2) Ones that I just purchased and they won’t connect to my Nest mesh WiFi. I can only see one device and I have to unplug it to see another device. I bought a Boost yesterday and not sure how that can be added as I tried to plug it into my router by Ethernet and by having the Ethernet cable disconnected. The app doesn’t detect the Boost. Please let me know if I can solve this issue or should return the Sub, (2) Ones and the Boost. I like the Arc, but would prefer to have a surround sound experience. Thanks!

Nothing is working, the app may or may not connect, the speakers may or may not show, music do want show what's playing. It's a nightmare.  What can be done here please?  Many thanks

Wifi performance affected by addition of Sonos Sub 3

Have just bought a Sub 3 to go with my Beam. As soon as it is added and audio is playing my wife performance drops from 60Mbps+ to less than 3Mbps. If I disable the Sub the performance goes back up.  Can anyone help with solutions? If it can’t be fixed the Sub 3 will have to be returned which I don’t want to do as I’m happy with the sound.

Sonos playing music by itself

I have a Sonos One and a Play:5 that I normally stream Apple Music to. Some mornings, but not every morning, the music is playing when we go downstairs. Our kids have previously streamed Spotify, but it is not active when this happens. I have submitted a diagnostic report (878087836). Is there a way that I can access this report? Any help appreciated.

Soundtrack Player won't authorize after recent update

We recently updated our Sonos system and now Soundtrack Player will not authorize in Sonos. We use Soundtrack to legally play music in our cafe, so it’s causing an issue that it won’t work anymore.

Connecting Beam without HDMI Arc or Optical

Just bought Beam and unable to connect to TV (LG 43LF510V) as the TV only has one HDMI which is being used for cable and does not have an optical outlet. Do I have any options that don’t involve buying a new TV? Thank you

S2 Play:1

Hi! Updated to S2-controller tonight. I have 2 Play:1. I can't get connected both of them. I tried the setup-process with the forst Play:1and the speaker was found, updatet and connected immediately. Everything worked fine. BUT the second speaker was not recognized from S2. Though I tried it vice versa in a new installation and  the second Play:1 was found, updated and connectet immediately. BUT now it wasn't possible to connect the first speaker additional, the one that worked in the former setup alone well.After reading here in the community i tried to reboot my router and both Play:1 and the S2-controller(restart of my Samsung SM J 600) but the S2 further on recognizes only 1 Play:1. What else can I do to solve the issue? Thank you!

Spotify working 10% of the time - losing connection or skipping tracks

This is really frustrating and I think has only been an issue since we upgraded to the new S2 app and removed the Bridge. We have a Netgear Orbi Mesh WiFi set up a Playbar, Play 1 and Play 3 across the flat.  Have tried the following:reset routerreset all Sonos speakersremoved and added the Spotify appchanged the router channel from auto to 1, then 6 then 11Playing from the Spotify app to Sonos is also patchy All other services on the Sonos app work perfectly. Is this a common problem?diagnostic 2106635247
