Get help and assistance with your Sonos system

a quick question for those in the know, I am thinking of upgrading my Sonos system at the moment. I have several ZP 100 A around the house which have worked perfectly well for years but a remodel of the house and a wish to have more flexibility where to put speakers without wires, et cetera has made us trial some Sonos fives and era 300s. not impressed with the errors, but the fives would do the job. However, I have a lot of albums stored on a network storage device which at the moment streams to my current system through a ZP 80. Would a port replace this and allow me to stream those albums from the network storage device to other Sonos equipment. any advice would be appreciated. 

I have just ordered the new sub / Era 300 x 2 / Arc Ultra to upgrade from an original playbar/original sub and Sonos one surrounds. At the moment the playbar is connected via optical fibre to my sky q box (if I connected to my tv I got all sorts of lip synch issues). Could anyone tell me from experience the best way to set up this new kit to enable me to get the best possible audio. MyTV is a Samsung S95BA 65 Thank you

So I recently (silly me) upgraded to the latest firmware -Version 16.6 (build 83.1-61240)Hardware Version 1.27.1.11-2.2 Ever since my arc would randomly reboot. It’s connected to a QN85B Samsung TV via eARC. When the problem occurs audio stops and the arc LED flashes white (booting) and then the TV switches back to eARC. I discussed with Sonos support after sending diagnostics (diags aren’t very helpful, because they are only since last boot, so doesn’t catch the problem). They advised that it was because I’m running a piHole and blocking msmetrics.ws.sonos.com I have selected in the Sonos app not to allow Usage Data Sharing, which is what this URL is for. But I guess it doesn’t care and keeps doing it, right? Hoorah for privacy… I find it disturbing that even though I’ve opted out of usage data sharing, they still send it and if they can’t they will reboot themselves randomly. Posting this here to s

good morning, I have a collection of 210 tracks on the YouTube music account that I play on the sonos account. For a few days now, if I try to play it on Sonos, it loads me with 33,800 tracks from the same collection. How can I solve the problem? Thank you

If the app has been open for several hours whether music is playing or not,  it won’t respond or takes forever respond if I try to add a room to the active group or change the music.  Sometimes the music just stops and shows only one room that is in the group. It is always the same room whether or not that room was part of the group. I hope this is making sense. Thank for any help or advice you have. 

Two points, and I’m not the first one to discuss either, but I want to be sure that the issues stay flagged: A-Z scrolling in Local Music Library.  The app is almost unusable for moderate to large libraries without it. Ability to see “Contributing Artists”.  The Windows App still does it.  For Compilation Albums, we currently have to choose between having every song in the album show up as its own album, or combine them by tagging ALBUMARTIST as “Various Artists”, but then lose the ability to see the actual artist of each song.  All competitors, including older versions of yourself, have this working properly.The Trello board has gone stale, and release notes recently have been non-specific.  What is your plan these days?

Recently added to Playbar and Sub 2 Era 100 speakers however since the Playbar will not create surround, I ordered a Beam Gen 2. Question - Will Sub Gen 1 work with the Beam 2, Era 100 to create the Surround? I know how the apps now work, but hoping when the Beam 2 arrives, it will all finally work. Thankls

Will you ever fix the poor Ui of the new app?  It’s still way to many steps to select a room and click forward click back to get to a room and it’s very inelegant.  Also, Will you ever add back alpha indexing to music library. Scrolling through 1,000 artists continues to frustrate me. I’m waiting for the app to be fully fixed before I consider buying any additional equipment. It’s been so long

I have no idea what the techs at Sonos have done to the software over last few years, but they have basically ruined a great system.when I try any basic control on Sonos these days, I am now pleasantly surprised if it works……but mostly it doesn’t.i am literally one step away from ditching the whole (10 unit) system for an old school hifi that I know will work.

I've just bought the roam 2, have to say I'm really dissapointed music playback is not enabled via amazon alexa.I did buy a cheaper speaker but returned as it didn't have WiFi and bought this thinking I could just randomly ask her to play music.Having owned the play 3 which has somehow developed an issue connecting to WiFi I feel I've spent an awful lot of money on speakers with limited capabilities! 

My sonos app says no system found, i have reinstalled everything including the app, factory rest, router and wifi reset, everything, but i cannot play any.music as it seems i dont have a system. 

Hi,I have an Sonos amp , Sonos arc and ceiling speakers that are not Sonos . The TV automatically connects to the Sonos arc when I turn on the TV . However, I have to go into the Sonos app and then activate the ceiling speakers to accompany the arc. Is there a way that both the arc and the ceiling speakers are automatically connected to the TV when I turn it on? ThanksBren 

I am trying to use my new Bose quiet comfort headphones via Bluetooth with my ultra arc.How can I do this??

Play:5 gen1. Only the subwoofer works. I need schematics or tips to solve this issue. Thanks

Ok so I have a Sonos Play 5 2 x Play 3, a Sonos 1 with Alexa and a boost and connect. I want to add a soundbar and a sub. I spent ages researching and bought a beam (Gen 2) and a sub mini. Plugged them in and neither compatible. I’m guessing it’s only a beam one or an Arc original. No idea on the sub mini. Didn’t really want to start again as everything still works. Mind you if the Arc ultra is as good as it sounds it might be worth it as I’m moving to a smaller house and losing my Marantz Receiver two Kef front speakers and a couple of missions on the surround. 

Starting probable a few weeks ago, I could not sign in to Sonos from my iOS app anymore. When I tried to sign in, the app took me to login.sonos.com. But everytime I got the same “incorrect email or password” error message. I am 100% sure that my email and password combination is correct. In fact I can log in to sonos just fine with the same email and password from a laptop computer, so I am not sure what goes wrong with the iPhone.Right now I can only see my speekers from my iPhone and play music, but I can not add or remove any services. Does anyone have the same issue? Please help me. Thanks.

Just replaced my Sonos CONNECT (wired set up) with Sonos Port (using wi-fi instead). I also have 10 Sonos:1’s, all on wi-fi. So I’m not using SonosNet anymore.The Sonos Port is connected and the app seems to think everything is fine after its setup. It’s output is connected to my receiver’s input, but there’s no sound coming out of the receiver’s speakers (the Sonos CONNECT worked fine prior). Sound is coming out of the rest of my Sonos speakers as usual.The network map shows all the Sonos speakers as being green. The Sonos Port is in white and says “Noise Floor: 0, 0, 0, 0 undefined” Anyone know what’s wrong here?

Hi I have the above setup connected to a beam gen2 via arc ,A sub mini and 2 Era100s as a surround pair. if I play a streaming app I get Dolby 5.1 or Atmos showing on Sonos app. If I play a blue ray or dvd I only see stereo pcm. The tv has auto, bypass , pcm settings and the blue ray player has hdmi as either auto or pcm. I have tried many combinations but it never changes from stereo pcm. 

Hi all,ideally I’d like to use my bookshelf speakers with a turntable utilising the amp. This is in the same room as my tv with a beam, can I not use my bookshelf speakers to provide surround sound and then when I’m playing vinyl utilise the bookshelf speakers? 

I have tried everything to reconnect my Sonos one after changing my router but with no joy. I've tried WiFi connection, hard connection, reset and reconnect, none of which works.  Please help as I've no got a very useless black boxThanks in advance,  Joe

I just picked up a stereo pair of 5s and will be connecting a CD player via line in.   Any plans for Sonos to bring back the option to turn off compression for these inputs? playing CDs as a converted 256AAC stream seems pointless - also if these CDs are ripped to FLAC and streamed that way, are those files compressed as well ? 

I have a set up including an ARC front and center with a SUB(gen 4)  and two 300 series surround speakers in my great room. I am having trouble hearing any of the dialogue with movies sports etc, the voices are faint and when I turn it up the bass and surrounding music is so loud it is unbearable for others in the rest of the house. I have done all of the room set up programming including TRU sound and also changed the sound height levels doesn't seem to help. any ideas?

My Sonos amp has no power light, reset is not working. I have tried alternative power cords
