Existing system not found

I lost my connection to Sonos.  Now, when I try to connect with my iPhone, I get the Existing System Not Found message and when I ‘press and release’ the button nothing happens.  When I try to access Sonos from my tablet I get the ‘Sorry, we can connect to Sonos’ message.  I’ve tried resetting the router: still nothing.  Any ideas?

Sonos Radio not working

Clicking on listed Sonos Radio stations, e.g. for Irish radio stations, nothing happens.  Seems to be the case for lots of listed stations.   Why is this?

Scrobbling to last.fm is no longer working

For about two days now the music I play through my Sonos system is not scrobbling to last.fm. Looking at the settings shows I’m still logged in and it should be working. Anyone else having this problem? I have already toggled the service, reset my login, even reinstall my desktop controller.

Issue with Sonos One SL not showing up in application.

I have 4 Sonos One SL speakers in my house.  For the previous 11 months, everything has worked great.  Starting last month we can only see all the speakers on my android phone and the app on my Imac.  My wife is not able to see or control any of the speakers on her android phone.  We have uninstalled the app and reinstalled the app on her phone.  I have unplugged and restarted all of the speakers. Any ideas?

Authorising with Apple Music

I recently changed my Apple ID and subsequently lost my Apple Music service connection. Since then I have tried my new password to no avail and have removed and reinstalled Apple Music. When  authorising I get an error when it switches to apple music to authenticate saying “we’ve run into a problem. Try agin”. Anyone have any ideas. My subscription is up to date just the change in password caused the problem.

Can't connect to WiFi - only ethernet.

Hello - I just aquired a Playbase from a friend and he said he was unable to connect it via wifi but it works no problem via ethernet. I tried setting up the wifi network while it was plugged into the ethernet cable, but it kept saying the password was incorrect even as it wasn't. Am I just going to have to always have it connected via ethernet or has anyone had a resolution on fixing this issue? Thanks!

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!

System reset, can no longer add Apple Music

My Sonos system was connected via Ethernet through my Playbar. I’ve moved my internet to a different room, meaning Sonos is now connected through a Play One. I couldn’t get the system to work and opted to factory reset all speakers. Since going through the factory reset process, I can no longer add Apple Music to my system. Each time I try, the Sonos app transfers me to Apple Music where I select, “Already a member” at which point I’m asked for my password. I am then presented with a pop up window saying, “We’ve run into a problem. Try again.”Here’s a diagnostic: 593911634Thanks in advance, to all that chip in.

Arc issues with no sound in some apps on Apple TV 4K.

Hii decided to switch my old playbar to an Arc. While impressed with the sound I have issues with some streaming apps doesn’t output any sound at all. It’s now disconnected and I am currently using the TVs built in speakers.The Arc is connected to a Samsung UE55KS8005 to its HDMI ARC port. I mainly use an Apple TV 4K to stream content. Now to the strange part. Some apps, like Netflix and Disney+ is working as expected. As well PlayStation 4 and raspberry pi. But some apps is streaming video but no audio. For instance, a Swedish public tv app SVT Play. A friend has the exact same setup and it works at his place, except the TV that is different.It’s strange because I would believe that the Apple TV outputs audio in the same way for all apps. The only way to get the sound from those apps is through airplay but that’s a workaround I’m not that interested in.Anyone have a clue on how to fix it? I would deeply appreciate a solution to this so that I can enjoy my new Arc. thanks in advance! e

Sonos S1 Can't access ~/Music directory on macOS

I’m using the Sonos 1 app on a Catalina 10.15.7 Mac. It was working perfectly until I (intentionally) erased everything and added it back fresh. Now I’m getting an error “Unable to Play “song name.mp3” access to //Macname/Music denied.”I am running Bitdefender and gave Sonos access to my music files, and in macOS preferences I gave Sonos 1 full disk access.Any other thoughts?

Iphone, Ipad music library dissappered a year ago on Sonos after an update.

I been so pissed it took over a year for me to ask what the f,.ck!! Music library worked fine super easy open Sonos app showed my music I could play from iPhone and iPad. Then Sonos does an update and it just disappears no icon nothing in settings there’s nowhere says anything about my music library. So my $2000 speakers have been junk for over a year. Not sure what Sonos was thinking but I use to think they were great now I tell everyone DO NOT BUY SONOS! Almost everyone I know has iPhone and would be so mad if they bought a not cheap wireless speaker that won’t play there music library. Does anybody know how to play music from your library on iPhone or iPad? I tried the update library Sonos says to do says I don’t have one or ask for a file name and there is no file name just my music on my phone and iPad. Thanks anybody that can help or tell me if I should trash these cause I’m done not being able to play all the music I have and paid for song by song from apple.

Play:3 wont group or play music

I have a sonos playbar and 2 x sonos 1’s in my living room, a play 5 in my kitchen and a play 3 in my bedroom. For some reason (I’m guessing software) my play 3 has just stopped working with my other sonos products. It shows within the app but I can’t group it with my other sonos products. If I’ve turned power off and on again to it, it plays 1-2 seconds of music then nothing after. I’ve tried radio via the tune in app and music from Spotify. It’s the same either way.

S2 unable to play music on SD card

Hi Sonos community. As with many here, I've had functionality issues after upgrading to the S2 app.I use a Samsung s20 android phone. I used to be able to play music stored in the /Music folder on my SD card using the S1 app. However, since the upgrade to s2 app, I can still see the music on my SD card, however when I try to play any music from my SD card, I get an error message saying "(song name)... is no longer available on (phone name)".Anyone have any helpful tips to solve this issue? Am really frustrated here, as I've never had this issue up until now.Many thanks in advance.Regards,Arthur

What's going on?

Ok, I’m a music professional and I loved my Sonos system until this new controller app came along and now the speakers randomly switch on and off. I have tried to trouble shoot this from every angle but I’m stumped. It is a basic expectation that this stuff all just works...as it has, brilliantly, for years. But now for whatever reason, things switch on and off, or I can’t connect through Airplay and my family is begging me to go back to hard wired speakers so I stop cursing. Anyone else having “issues” since switching to the new Sonos controller app? Thanks.

router change.

I purchased an Orbi to enhance the speed of my internet. I am trying to chance the internet from the Verizon access to the Orbi access on the Sonos but it is not working. Going thru all the steps first with just update router; didn’t work, then took Sonos to the Verizon box and cable with an Ethernet cable and it’s not working either.  Thank you.

New Sonos AMP sound not working

I recently deployed an AMP to drive ceiling speakers in my kitchen (it is one of 4 AMP units amongst other Sonos gear I have). When originally deployed it all worked just fine and has been used several times.I tried to play the kitchen today and whilst I can see the Kitchen AMP in the AP (S2) and the app says it is playing, I can stop/start the tracks, change the music, change the volume (on the app at least if not in reality) but there is no sound at all coming from the speakers. I have rebooted the unit (and waited 60 seconds before powering back up) but still no joy. The speaker cables are still connected as originally set……..I am at a loss. Thoughts appreciated……..

New Amp - Orange / White flashing error after few minutes of use

Hi folks,New Sonos user here, and have to say I am heartbroken. Last night, took my brand new amp out of the box, connected it using speaker wire to my Audioengine HDP6 speakers with 14/2 speaker wire (in box banana plugs for the amp and binding posts for the speakers), and HDMI cable to a Samsung TV and within a few minutes of playing music/ TV (time was variable) sound cut out and the orange / white flashing light appeared. Went through troubleshooting with each speaker, error / same lights continued, and again, with no speakers attached, same flashing lights happened again. Moved the amp to a different location, and it seemed to work just fine for ~2 hours via the TV, went to bed, thinking I had solved the mysterious problem. This morning, tried to play some tunes, and the orange/white light appeared again.I am stumped as to what could be causing this, other than an internal amp error (per help articles). Solution is to contact customer service but I work a pretty demanding job duri

No longer able to play any music from My Library on my PC

I know get  the “song is no longer encoded correctly” error message on every album / song in my library.  I most typically use a streaming service, so not sure how long this has been an issue.  However, 2-3 months ago for sure I could play all the songs I cannot play now. I have done the usual -  restarted router, restarted Sonos devices, reindexed my library, updated all Sonos apps.  All to no avail.  Checked the community questions and nothing is popping as as the answer. I can still play music from the streaming service.Sonos and Pc are not in the same room, but they are close.  My wireless signal is strong.

Error 701 Can't add songs to the queue

For the love, can somebody please help me figure this out.  I recently upgraded to the S2 platform, and the system is practically unusable.  I have ATT Fiber and an Netgear Nighthawk X10 router.  Everything is downstairs with the speakers within 30 feet of the router.  The S1 platform with the bridge worked great. It happens with all music sources:  Spotify, Sonos Radio, Amazon Music, etc
