Why is My Sonos System Not Syncing Across Multiple Rooms?

I’ve been having an issue with my Sonos system where the audio isn't syncing properly across multiple rooms. I’ve tried restarting the system, resetting the Wi-Fi, and ensuring everything is updated, but the issue persists. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and what solutions did you find? Any tips on improving the synchronization between speakers would be greatly appreciated!

Cannot add NAS share that has a space in its name

I have an existing NAS configuration, where the share is //NAS/Music Library/   with a space.If I try and add this to my Sonos SL using the app it just errors and tells me to check the username and password. (which I know are correct).Now the example on screen tells me not to use the trailing slash character, but if I don’t use that then the Add button stays greyed out.    I cannot believe in 2024, that I cannot use a sharename with a space, so can someone please advise how I should enter the location (I have tried quotes etc)Thanks in advance

Lock volume limit by password or confirmation

Hi,this is maybe a little bit strange, but I will explaine the situation:there are serveral SONOS speakers in a bar/pub/restaurant.In germany, you are not allowed to play the music as loud as you want and can… so I recognized the “limit volume” funktion at the system control.This is a great function to limit the max volume in a bar/pub/…   BUT:Everyone can change this limit.However, in order to comply with official regulations, this function would have to be blocked so that only a technician or the owner can change the settings. A waiter, for example, would not be able to do this.The function could possibly be restricted to a confirmation email and a link that the account holder has to click on, just like resetting a password.So: if the setting is changed, an email is sent, if it is confirmed, the change becomes active, if not, it is reset.

Controlling Sonos via Google Pixel watch

Hi i have enjoyed to be able to use essential control functions ( multimedia controller) on my Google Pixel watch 2 to control Sonos. But since the rollout of the big new Sonos update, it's no longer possible to use this function. The multimedia controller on the watch still works with all other player apps installed on my phone. But for some reason just not any more when using Sonos! I really miss this option. Is there a solution/update that will fix this issue.

A few updates ago, I noticed that individual songs from Apple music do not show on recently played.

A few updates ago that, individual songs from Apple Music no longer show up on recently played. Albums and playlists show just fine. I have removed and re-added my Apple Music account, but this did not fix this. Is anyone else seeing this?

where is the queue management feature update?

I have received multiple emails over the past couple of weeks regarding app improvements related to queue management features. Yet, when I look at a queue I cannot re-order anything. When I click the dots next to a song in my local library or hold down on a selection, I cannot add it to end of queue nor can I add it to be played next. Where are the supposed queue management updates in these new app updates? note: using iOS and iPadOS 18

Equalizer not working

This came out of nowhere. I have no control over treble, bass and the loudness on/off toggle. None. It seems the balance slider is functional. Is this another ‘known issue’ that ‘Sonos is working on’… or is there a fix I can implement here at home?I tried updating everything in the app. No change. Whatever default settings I’m stuck with sound pretty terrible with most content I’ve tried.

Another Firmware and Ace software updates Still No TrueCinema

Took me 3 passes to get all 9 speakers updated to 16.4.4 (build 81.1.58210) firmware.No EQ related settings were reset, thankfully. So far.There's also a software update available for the Ace. No indication that TrueCinema has been activated 👿👿Bottom Line: Not Helpful.

Setup/Connection Era 300 to Orange Livebox 5

Hi, are there any users in France with an Era 300 and an Orange internet acces with a Livebox 5 router? I'm trying to set up my new Era 300, but can't get the WiFi connection to work: the initial connection to the Sonos app on my Android GSM works fine, but when I enter the WiFi password,  the system can't connect. I've tried all possible router reconfigurations, incl.separate 2.4 and 5 GHz SSIDs, with and without WPA security keys/passwords, but nothing works.Grateful for any solutions or useful hints. Thanks!

can’t see artist playing

I’ve noticed recently with the new app update that I can no longer see the artist that is currently playing, this is true when I search for an artist or a song through Apple Music or other other streaming as well as when I’m just playing the radio.  I used to be able to see what song is currently playing. here is an example, I’m listening on my Roam (only) and put in an artist in Apple Music, playing that artist’s music but it still shows a song I selected from my own downloaded music from earlier today.  I can use the volume and off buttons here but not forward.  Also when I go into Apple Music it doesn’t show me what is playing.  Ugh!

Sonos Play:5 (Gen 1 ) stopping randomly when playing Spotify

Sonos Play:5 (Gen 1 ) stopping randomly for 5-10 sec when playing Spotify  but works fine with Tidal and radio stations. I have done everything Sonos support suggested. Sonos support said that it is a internal memory problem (to small memory for high-res streams). But Spotify is far from high-res and Tidal works fine. I have no network problems. Please fix this Sonos!

sky q sound quality

I have recently added the Sonos arc ultra to my setup (sub gen 3 and 2x ones in surround. When I use streaming services Netflix / Plex it sounds great, but for some reason sky movies have to have the volume turned up and surround sound isn’t great.

Era 300 spatial distance

Can someone tell me what exactly needs to be taken into account when it comes to the distance related to setting the surround sound?The distance between the Era 300 and the listener's ear, or the distance between the Era's external speaker and a nearby reflective surface?The Eras are located on the wall on both sides of the sofa on the wall, facing forward towards the TV and there is a maximum depth of 10-15 cm between the listener and the speakers. The distance between the TV (77”) and the viewing position is approx. 3 m. I know it's not perfect, but you have to adapt to the existing conditions. Both are at an equal distance, 1.3 m to the right and left of the student's position. The one on the left is 40 cm and the one on the right is 60 cm from the furniture, which means the reflecting surface.During movies, I have the feeling that the one on the left sounds louder than the one on the right. Sometimes I don't even hear the right side, but then it speaks when I listen to it. (No, it'

New SONOS APP - SLOW When Changing Songs

I have been a SONOS customer for over 10 years since the first SONOS speakers came out.  I have 10 speakers, Play 1, Play 3, Play 5 (Gen 1), 2 Boosts (one upstairs and one downstairs) and a new ERA 100.  The new SONOS (2) app causes slow response when changing songs either from my streaming services (Sirius, SONOS, Spotify, Amazon) OR my playlists on SONOS and Spotify.  I did not experience this slow, start and stop experience on the previous original SONOS app (v1).  I have a strong router (UNIFI) and 1Gb ISP, so my network should not be the root cause.  Nothing else on my WIFI network has this slow experience.  The Play5 is not supported on the new SONOS app, so I have separated it from the other speakers by using the old SONOS app (v1).   I am seeking possible solutions to the slow, start, stop issue that we are experiencing.

Airsonic-Advanced + Sonos - Current Status

Howdy y’all. I was wondering what the status is for using custom music services on the Android Sonos app? I have been using Airsonic-Advanced for many years now (Subsonic prior). Here is the documentation link if anyone is curious or needs more details on how this works: https://github.com/airsonic-advanced/airsonic-advanced/blob/master/SONOS.mdThis represents 99%+ of what I use my Sonos system for. I can’t seem to make sense of whether or not this is something that is on the roadmap for future fixing? I am assuming this is a result of the android app update a few months ago, since that is when it stopped working. I use this all day every day, so it was easy to notice. I can fully use my Airsonic-Advanced service with the Windows and iPad Sonos apps, so that is how I am currently getting by. Anyway, if anyone has any information that could at least inform me about this, I would be very appreciative of your time and effort. Thanks!

sound

I’m having trouble with my sound. I use my phone or iPad to control volume. It now seems to only work if I use my tv controller and put it on mute. This issue started up after trying to connect headphones to my tv.
