Get help and assistance with your Sonos system

My Sonos system has worked fine the last several months using both the original S2 app and the new app (on different phones). Last week my Arc showed as Not Connected in both apps. After several hours of power cycling and factory resets, I got it working again. Until yesterday when it showed up again as Not Connected. My diagnostic code is ************.Any assistance or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you! Moderator Note: Recorded and removed Diagnostic Number. Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

Hi - I am still running my system on S1 without many problems.  Lately, though, my ZonePlayer 100 is disappearing from the network.  I think I purchased the unit around 2005, so it might just be dying...however, it comes back into the visible zones and plays music every time I power the unit off and on.  Any ideas for things to try to make the problem stop recurring?  Thanks, David   

I reset the Sonos One from the instructions; but it doesn’t recognize the wireless router and thus won’t connect to my Spotify account.  It won’t connect to NPR radio station either.

Hi! Connected my Beam via e-arc to the tv, and all to the Wi-Fi ( 1 beam and 2 symfonisk) - I can play music in allbut when trying to create a surround I get the following message  any idea on how to solve it? thanks

I’m experiencing weird crackling noise and distortion on a new Port through SPDIF output (streaming from Spotify).It sounds like digital clipping, and is most noticeable on low volume parts of songs.its not always there, sometimes it starts playing without it, but it always appears after a short while (or maybe I start noticing it after a while).output is set to “fixed” in the app, like recommended for use with external DACs, but in other modes the noise is also present.Sound from analog output is fine, but I bought Port to use with my own DAC, and don’t want to use analog output.I’ve never experienced anything like that with any other digital components.I tried connecting to 2 different DACs and also tried to pass Port’s spdif signal through a reclocker and also through spdif to toslink optical converter. Did not help. (All devices are known to work fine with other sources)Has anyone experienced anything like that? Do you think my unit is broken/DOA?any advise would be appreciated.tha

After expending over $5,000 on Sonos equipment and numerous monthly subscriptions, the system has proven to be unusable. I have engaged a law firm to initiate legal action against Sonos and its CEO for fraudulent misrepresentation and false claims regarding the services this product line was purported to provide.Thank you. Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

Sonos - why not release an upgrade that opens apple AirPlay on all speakers.  This would allow people to play music and never need to use your truly awful app experience ever again.

My Sonos Sub 3/4 will not turn on. I've tried to reset by holding join button then plugging in to power but the light is off. Is the speaker dead?

My 6 year old Sony TV has an HDMI ARC input, not  an eARC input. Would I still be able to benefit from getting an Arc Ultra? Or would that not be compatible or optimal? 

The title of the post says it all, ladies and gentlemen.

The new App is defective. For some reason, I get stuck in an endless “reauthorize” loop with Sonos Radio. After a day, the problem is still not fixed. I have tried logging out and back on, I have unplugged and re-plugged the speakers as some other post here suggested, but to no avail. Sonos Radio is not working. I had a similar problem with Apple Music, but after removing the service and adding it back, I got Apple Music to work in the end. The problem is that you cannot remove Sonos Radio. I have spent at least 3 hours on this. I will certainly not ever purchase another Sonos device. I also note that the “Sonos Favorites” showing in the iOS App are just as subset of the full list that I see in the Sonos App on my Mac. Somehow, more than half of my favorites have simply disappeared. Sonos is just such an absurdly incompetent company. I tried contacting customer support, but I started out as being 32 in the queue but the number never went down. I gave up after 3 hours of waiting.

I have a Beam (Gen1) and 2 surround speakers (Play 1). Beam connected to TV through ARC and the Ones are wifi enabled. Surround speakers both lose audio for a moment annoyingly frequently. There is no drop in audio output to the Beam, only the two surrounds.Does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks in anticipation.

Hi,So I have a turntable connected to a pair of Sonos 5 speakers and the system has worked just fine for over a year. This morning I was listening to a record and went to turn the volume up via the app and when I hit Apply, the sound cut out completely and now I can’t hear anything. I’ve shut down the app, uninstalled and reinstalled it, checked all the settings but nothing has worked. The connections are all fine and literally the only thing that’s changed was hitting that Apply button.   Does anyone have any idea on what to do as I’m beyond annoyed at this.    Thanks. 

can i add Bluetooth external non sonus speakers to  my gen 1 beam to create a  surround sound system  ?If yes how is it done ?

HelloI bought an ARC and a SUB one year ago. For 6 months the pair of them sounded amazing.  It could be a coincidence, but 6 months ago I updated my broadband deal and got a new router. Since then the sound from the ARC and SUB have deteriorated. Previously I had to have the SUB volume set below 0 because the bass was too powerful. When watching a film on Netflix the wardrobe doors used to rattle due to the power. Since the change of router, I can turn the SUB to maximum volume with no real change. When placing my hand inside the SUB I can feel that it’s working, but the sound is terrible to what it used to be.  I have had both the SUB and the ARC replaced by the store they were bought from. The sound is still the same. Not great. I have phoned SONOS support on many occasions and they can’t find any faults when I’ve submitted diagnostics. Their advice is that it could be a software issue and I should wait for a software update. I was told this in July and on Thursday (24/10/24). I’ve

I am about to move to a new house soon which will involve resetting my current system (as above title) and planning a media wall etc .. though this is exciting for me I have never really been a tech guy to sort best optimised usage for what I have, I would really like to know if the speakers I have would all work together maybe as a 5.1.. is this possible? Also would be very grateful for any room setup tips.. the new room to be has an unused standard fireplace/ chimney that protrudes forward with 2 alcoves either side.. and the room is about 12ft square....

I have to re-add all of my speakers to my system each time I want to use them, and most of the time, they don’t show up and won’t connect. I have spent hours on the phone with support over multiple calls, and no one has a resolution. This system is a waste of money, especially since the sound quality doesn’t come close to other systems.

Cannot update Sonos, Error Code 1: Sub.This is with the S2 Sonos app. I have 2 rooms with Sonos equipment in them.In my main room, I have 1 no. Sonos TV Soundbar, 2 no. Sonos Play 1s & a Sub.In my other room, I have 1 no. Sonos 1 paired with a Sonos 1 SL & a Sub.When first clicking on ‘Check for software updates’ on the ‘Manage’ tab, when the update gets to ‘finishing,’ I am told I have an update problem.’There was a problem during the update of your Sonos system.’’Select ‘Try again’ to repeat the update.’I can try this for time immemorial, but it still does not finish updating.When I click on ‘More information,’ I get ‘Error code 1: Sub.’ If I click on the ‘For more information, see’ link, I get a range of updated ideas to try.What I have tried:Retry the update. That does not work. Reboot your router. That did not work.What I haven’t tried:Reboot your Sonos products. Although I haven’t tried this yet, the initial ‘Error code 1: Sub,’ does that mean I should unplug the Subs fir

This topic is older and might not have the most up to date information. Please click here to see a list of more topics around the same subject. Why do I need to sign in as system owner every time? This occurs,  just at the start if a Sonos session, but within a session too. That is, the words “Sign in as the System Owner …” are permanently dominating the screen. I could cry with the frustration.   Pls help, or tell me where I’ve gone wrong … or better still.

I have two Sono One speakers on wifi.   Unpaired, both play fine, both individually and together.When I try to make a Stereo Pair out of them, the second one added has no sound.   If I create the pair using the L speaker, the R doesn’t have sound.  If I create the pair using the R speaker, the L doesn’t have sound.I have tried power cycling them and plugging them into ethernet.  Nothing has worked.   Software is up to date.  I’d like to avoid a factory reset as I’ve wasted enough time on these already.

Have correct app on latest version as are all my Sonos products. I have a Sonos one in the bedroom where the status light is turned off so not to disturb us while sleeping. However it keeps turning back on and even though I deselect it again in the app, once again it comes back on, very annoying. Any pointers to help 🤔 Thanks 

My Move has disconnected from my network.  I did a factory reset and while adding the Move product have been prompted for an 8 digit passcode which I don’t have.  How do I bypass this step to complete the installation process?

I want an setup with AMP connected to my projector(HDMI arc), and then connect wireless to front speakers and back speakers( FIVE or ERA).Is this possible, will there be an delay with the picture and sound?

I recently changed internet provider. Getting the speakers back on the app was a nightmare and I had to wire a lot of them into the router to connect them. Things initially seemed ok but always had a problem with Deezer and flow. It would play what appeared to be my daughter’s music in different rooms and mine in other rooms. So I decided to try an and sort it out. Disconnected Deezer from Sonos deleted Sonos app and reinstalled it and then things got worse. When I restarted the app and tried to join the system it said I had multiple systems on the same Wi-Fi. Majority of speakers were on system 1 and a single speaker had migrated to system 2. I joined the system with most speakers on and factory reset the one that was now on system 2. I cannot now connect that speaker to the Sonos app as it says it can’t find any Sonos products on my my mobile device network. I deleted the app and reinstalled it. No joy but now it says It is not connnected to Deezer or any other content providers and

I have lost my Local Music Library connection since this dreadful new app update was released and now cannot add it back despite trying til I can’t try anymore!My library is on a NAS drive where all my music tracks are arranged into ‘band’ folders. I can access them through my PC no problem but not through Sonos. The only difference being that the path to access via my PC is: \\BTHUB\usb1\Music - note the backslashesIn the new Sonos app that same path cannot be used as the app wants a path that uses forward slashes. It will not accept backslashes.i tried putting in the same path but with forward slashes and my NAS drive fires up but doesn’t connect . Any suggestions please 🙏
