I have an Arc Ultra and a Sub 4.  Currently, the Arc Ultra is connected to the internet via a switch, and the Sub 4 is connected via Wi-Fi. I would like to hardwire the connection to the Sub 4.  Is it just a matter of connecting an ethernet cable from the switch to the Sub 4?  Are there any other steps I must take to complete the conversion? 

Last year after much debate I spent the time to update ALL the tags on my compilation albums(with Album Artist = Various Artists)  to overcome the annoying issue of all compilation albums or albums with guest artists becoming fragmented.  Although I didn't (and still don't agree) with Sonos’s approach to the underlying problem of albums with identical names becoming combined I realised that there was no indication of a change in policy so I made the edits and re-catalogued everything.    Compilation albums were then represented  correctly  as one album with the downside being that the contributing artists no longer appeared in the artists view.    (I didn't agree with the Sonos solution because they could have just restricted the solution to the handful of people who suffered the issue and make them update the tags on just the duplicate titled albums rather than make every media library users update tags on their albums in

I have two sub mini hooked up to my Sonos Arc and my two Era 300. But my app says subs are not hooked up

Hello everyone, I just installed 4 sonos amps in my new house and on one of these I connected the hdmi arc cable to listen to the tv with the sonos system, now I would need to send the arc signal to all the other 3 amps to listen to the TV audio throughout the house. How do you think I can realise this?Thanks to those who will help me or give me some advice, I'm new to the sonos world

My arc ultra is connected to my Samsung TV by ehdmi and works fine. I can set up my Era300s (2) as stand alone speakers but when I set them up as surround with my arc ultra it shows connection issues with the eras. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

System info:Sony 77 A80J TV Apple TV4K (connected to Sony TV via HDMI 4) Sonos Arc Ultra (connected to Sony TV via HDMI 3 eArc)Issue: Turn system on (usually via Apple remote) after everything being off overnight or some period of time and sometimes Sony TV immediately will be using the external audio which is the Sonos Arc Ultra and sometimes I’ll find the Sony TV will be using the internal TV speakers and I have to manually switch TV audio source to the external audio source (Sonos Arc Ultra). Question: Anyone know what causes this erratic behavior and how to fix it so the audio is consistently external audio of the Arc Ultra?

How do I connect her phone to the apps existing system my phone is already connected to, especially avoiding a system reboot in fear of disconnecting my phone. 

i dont know how to reset my sonos

I’m running 2 Sonos Play:5 pairs with a Sonos S1 app (version 11.15.4) on an iMac-m1 on the latest Tahoe 26.2.  I have an ethernet connection to one of my Play:5s.  My audio is coming out of my m3 via USB and then going through a USB->earphone type plug into the Play:5 that has the ethernet connection.  I had to rebuild the iMac-m3 that I use as my main computer and now find that when I play music on the m3 and then pause or stop the audio, the S1 app drops out of play mode after 15 seconds.  If I then hit play and DON’T play any music it does not drop out of play mode.   Is there any way to make it revert to the previous condition where it will always stay in play mode until I hit stop? Thanks. 

I have moved into a new home. There was a full system in place consisting of 3 connect amps and a PZ100.I am completely new to Sonos, as soon as my wifi was on, i was able to login and played radio stations as the previous house owner and then made the now known cardinal sin of factory resetting everything, because why would you? But as I have been on it previous, I know the system works.The issue I get, is that I can get all the way through the setup till it comes to connecting the ethernet and finding it after. I get the green light, it says press the mute and + button to find, and then it just cannot find it which is absolutely bewildering to me when ive gone through the wireless part easy and its appears in my I’ve tried my phone, the wifes phone and just gettinf frustrated.I’ve spent 2 hours on with sonos support to No real avail, tried several things. Putting my router to mode 2, disconnecting the upnp or something like that and still wont connect. 

I have discovered two Sonos speakers that have not been used for about 14 years. I think they may be fives. I cannot connect them using an Ethernet cable to my router and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts. Are they still usable?

I am noticing that the volume on my Sonos speaker sometimes changes on its own while music or TV audio is playing. There is no one else controlling it from the app, and I am not using voice assistants at the time.This happens randomly and can go either louder or quieter. I am using the Sonos app on my phone and the speaker is connected to my home Wi-Fi network.Has anyone experienced this before? Could this be related to TV remote signals, HDMI-ARC, or another app connected to Sonos?

Got left internet and my play 3 won't connect to internet

Don’t buy sonos, is terrible in every posible way Moderator edit: Corrected “Sony” to “Don’t” for clarity.

I am selecting a speaker that is playing and then open up the join button and select another speaker or two and select apply. It acts like it is working but when it goes back to the playing speaker it doesn't add the new speaker/s.  It has worked interesting past but isn't working now.TYIASteve 

Im noticing that as time goes on the volume has to be raised with everything I watch.

I have recently updated my Sonos app to S2; unfortunately Sonos S1 is also no longer working.  Neither of these applications allows me to access my i-tunes library and play lists.  I see on Reddit, Sonos communities and other pages that this is a common problem.  When will Sonos be rectifying this issue?

I work in a corporate building and have been changing between using Auracle and Spotify on the Sonos music app. I found that sometimes the Sonos speakers just stops playing the music on Spotify and resets the queue back to the first song. I spoke to the customer service who said that there is somebody else using the Spotify account, however we only have this Spotify access through the Sonos account and so I cannot “sign all out” or change the Spotify password. I also suspect that because this is my workplace that nobody else is connected to it. Some days it wont work at all, whilst on other days its fine all day. Is there a limit to the amount of tracks I can listen to on Spotify through Sonos? How can I stop this from happening as its really annoying.

Another issue please help!!!my Beam is working but now my era 300 won't link if tick both speakers and press apply the beam goes silent, I did have them work on the first day but next day no link, why is it so hard to link? 

Am i being petty regarding my Sonos Arc Ultra having it grill holes not aligned? Moderator Edit: Corrected “pity” to “petty”.
