How do I make my Sonos system primary output on Apple TV

My Sonos set up (Arc, Sub, several One speakers) always appear as temporary audio output - see Family Room. How can I make them default? I have to update this setting every single time I turn my TV on :(My Apple TV is HD 4th Generation, if that matters.Thank you!

There was a problem updating your Play:1

I get various error codes: 30, 1000, blah blah.  It’s all nonsense.I spent 3.5 hours on the phone with two different Support people, over two different sessions, only to have the second guy tell me at the end of 2 hours that I am hitting a KNOWN issue/bug with THEIR system, and that they will email me when it’s fixed.The next day (4 days ago) Level 2 Support sends me a “try these things” email -- all of which was already tried.  The email references my case number, so it’s as if they never read the case.Factory resets were tried.  Connecting the Play:1 to wifi and ethernet cable were tried. Uploaded multiple sets of diagnostics.I replied to that email, asking when their issue would be fixed… still no reply 4 days later. Looks like the Sonos platform is not what it used to be.I’ve had issues in the past, and always received excellent support, but that was a few years ago.Seems those days are gone...

S1 controller and downgrading software

When will the ability to downgrade software be restored to the S1 app?  I just purchased a Move speaker because it was supposed to be compatible with the S1 app and my older Sonos speakers, but in order to make it compatible, it needs a software downgrade.  The latest version of S1 removed this feature.  When will the app be updated to have that feature restored?  Thank you.

Sonos Amp

Hi, can the sonos amp connect to Sonos ERA 100 and Sonos Sub and in this way be the “interface” between my tv and the mentioned speakers?The background for my question is that I plan to connect a AMP to my tv via eARC HDMI and use two ERA 100 as front speakers plus connect a sub. The speakers should all connect wireless to the amp. Is the described setup feasible? best regards

Missing Devices and Troubleshooting

So check this out. I wasted the better part of this last weekend troubleshooting our Sonos speakers at home. Good times. Honestly all of the thousands of $$$ spent on these things…  was so close to all winding up in the dumpster/landfill.  I recently upgraded our home network to Ubiquiti from a Chinese mesh platform. Generally works about 1000% better, but with the mesh we had the option of putting a puck near these speakers and connecting with a LAN cable. Now we are 100% wireless. I followed all of the provided steps to remedy, but no matter what I tried devices would not add back to the system even after a factory reset.  Until I realized that one old play:1 was connected with ethernet. Once I pullled the cable out of that guy everything was fine… minus some minor issues. My question is now “why the hell is this a problem?” They were still all on the same network and I would like to be able to hard wire some devices to reduce the number of wireless clients for performance reasons, b

How to stream from a Synology NAS from the latest version of the application ?

Hello everyone,Since switching to the new version of the application, I no longer see my music library hosted on my Synology NAS. I know that I am on my network, since I can listen to music from the history, but impossible to navigate, no more search button (apart from the one that suggests searching through services that I don't have and don't want).Should I add sharing through a service addition (I saw a Plex service, I expected to find a Synology SMB Share service or something similar but nothing)? Thank you in advance for your answers.

amazon music

Just this weekend, my sonos has stopped playing nice with amazon music. Has worked fine for 3 years and now plays for half a song and audio stops. App shows song still playing. Spent hours talking to sonos and sky and no further along. Sonos saying its router settings, sky saying I cant change the router settings on sky max hub. Sonos radio working fine, so I can't see how it's the router or network.Anyone else having issues with amazon music?

Apple Music problems on Sonos, my problem solved

2 x Era 300, internet connection via ethernet.Symptom: constant interruption of playlists, albums and artists in AM via Sonos.Solution that worked for me: changing the DNS server address from the address of the internet provider (Vectra Poland) to the DNS address 0.0.0.0 in the router.My problems with AM are finally over and I can enjoy Dolby Atmos sound after 2 months of playing with the internet connection, Sonos app, internet provider, etc.Maybe this solution will be helpful to someone.

Move 2, bluetooth and app

Why is the system not visible in the app when connected to Bluetooth? I use the system in a boat and do not have WiFi. I can play music but I cannot use the Sonos app. Poor design or is it just me?

BBC Sounds

Running Sonos App (80.06.04 - installed 02/08/24) on Samsung Android connected to Sonos Roam SL. BBC Sounds showing as a Source but no output when selected. BUT if I open the BBC App and select a source, the Roam will play the selected channel! So BBC is authorised on phone, also on Sonos App. Something in between is not working? Having selected a station in BBC App, I see the Sonos app is correctly displaying the station that has is being broadcast and can then stop and start it from the Sonos app. (YT Music works fine directly from Sonos App).

Ace & Arc Swap - Volume Way Too Low

Hi All  After much frustration with the ‘buggy’ SONOS software on my iPad, I eventually got the Ace & Arc functionality working. While playing Dolby Atmos music tracks from Apple Music or Tidal, the max volume is too low to be useful. Movie soundtracks are louder but I would also like to be able to turn up the volume much more. When the SWAP takes place the volume on the Arc is disabled and I have turned up the volume in the SONOS app to the max so not sure if If there is anything else I can do to increase it

connect Samsung tv with only hdmi/arc out to SONOS playbar with only optical input.

I am trying to connect a 2024 Samsung 65” DU7100 Crystal UHD 4K HDR Smart TV, model number UE65DU7100KXXU to a SONOS Playbar.The issue is the TV only has audio out via HDMI (ARC) but the SONOS Playbar only accepts sound in via an optical cable.I assume I need a converter. However there are numerous options on Amazon or similar.Can anyone recommend one that they use in same circumstances and definitely works ?Thanks in anticipation.

amazon music

I am sure this question has been answered already but any help would be appreciated. Having had Sonos for a few years now with no issues since the new app I am having issues playing music from my playlists from Amazon music. Everytime I select a song it comes up saying ‘something went wrong. Try again’. I have rebooted everything, my internet works fine and is fast and have deleted and reinstalled the app but still having issues. Everything worked fine prior to the new app.any suggestions as to how to resolve as I am at a point now if I can’t resolve will bin my Sonos app and buy something that works!

amazon music

The only way I can play amazon music on my sonos system is to use the amazon music app. The update has been a nightmare. Everytime I use the app it say no system found. Have to reset network settings Everytime.  Sort this out sonos. The system has been great since I got it about 8 years ago.

Sonos not working with amazon music

Hi amazon music doesn't seem to be working through my sonos. Everything else seems to work apart from amazon music. I have tried updating the controller and sonos it self but still no luck. I keep getting the error message "the connection to amazon music was lost" or "the song is not encoded properly" I'm not sure if this a problem with my sonos or a problem at amazon musics end.

Roam 2 Wireless Charger Cable Question

I’m considering buying the wireless charger base for a Roam 2, but I don’t want a 4’ cable connected to it. Is the cable hardwired into the base, or can I swap out the USB-C cable with a shorter one?
