I’m trying to add to play speakers to my system that currently has a sound bar and bass.  I have reset the play speakers to factory.  when the app starts setting up the play 1 speakers to add to the system, I get this inane message:  One or more apps on your mobile device are using airplay.  Go to the app and change the audio output to your device.  If anyone can unwind that word salad nonsensical message for me, I will be very grateful.  What app?  Change what audio output to what device?  

I go to play my Souncloud likes and get the following. Nothing. Lists of music artists are gone. Worked fine this morning. Mixcloud and all other music services work fine. Anyone else experiencing this?   

I just added a Ray Sounbar to a bar room that already has 2 ERA100s and a Sub Mini. Purpose is to improve TV sound and be able to leverage the other speakers for that when not playing music.  I wall mounted the Ray directly below a TV and realized I mounted is it upside down - with the touch controls on the bottom. This is ideal since the touch controls would be difficult to use if mounted on top.  Is there any issue with the soundbar being mounted inverted?

Hi, It’s been 4 months that I am facing this problem.  When I factory reset my ARC and SUB and connect to the new wifi through the SONOS app, the app says the devices are connected. But I do not see the devices on my app. See the snapshots.I have reached out to support and they told me to do a hard wire connection to the router. I did that too and still nothing.Because of this, I am not able to tune the devices to my new home set up. This is really frustrating. Any help?

CONFIG:MacBook Pro 16” M1 Max running latest OS (Sonoma 14.5) Sonos Move SITUATION: out traveling and want to watch downloaded movies through Apple TV app on my MacBook Pro. Tried 100x but no luck getting audio to play over Sonos Move - why not?! I can successfully listen to audio from Apple “Music” app without a problem at home over wifi. I also CAN get audio to play on the Move from my iPhone over Bluetooth (obviously, when we’re on the go, there’s no WiFi network) but no/never audio from the Apple “TV” application for movies. what’s going on?

I cannot manage to connect my sonos ray with my infrared remote from TCL. Does anyone else have this problem?

I have a new Apple TV 4K (2022 third generation) and a Sonos Playbar. Despite setting the Apple TV to use IR, rebooting the ATV remote and going through the Sonos TV setup, I cannot reliably control the Playbar volume. Each time I turn the ATV on, I can only decrease the volume; if I visit the ATV Remote settings, I can increase the volume and use the mute button. The remote is certainly working as pressing the volume up button flashes an LED on the ATV - it’s just not being reliably recognised by the Playbar.

I have a Sonos Amp and want to run 4 speakers from it which I know isn't a problem. I want to have 2 speakers in one room and 2 in another room but I want to connect all 4 to the Amp via a 4 way speaker selector so I can turn either room on or off when I dont want to have sound in the room. Does anyone know if this is ok to do and that switching via the selector is safe to do and won't damage the Amp output.https://www.avsl.com/product/128.425UK-4-way-loudspeaker-selector 

I observed Alexa is not working on my Sonos One 2 and tried to access the Sonos app. It asked for an update that it showed it works but then the app loads forever. After reentering the app it asks again for update. I already talked to Sonos support and still have no working solution.I am using the app from iOS 17.6.1.Has anyone encountered this issue?   

Hi everyone. I thought my Roam was dead. All it displayed was an orange light. Could not switch off/ on or reset, tried all the button in for 15 / 30 seconds, still dead.I know this has been the subject of several threads on here, so I thought I would share my experience.Tried everything, was actually in phone  queue waiting to speak to Sonos Support, looked up, and hey presto, all was well, I had a white light and everything was working fine. I know it’s bizarre, but if all else fails be patient.   

Has anyone been able to add their iTunes Music Library to Sonos using Sonos instructions? I’ve tried repeatedly and it still will not connect.

I have installed the latest Sonos app on my Tablet and have transferred my library into the tablet's internal storage Music folder.   I have set the path for the shared folder  as "my files/music/library" which seems O.K. to me but this is not accepted when I try to "add" it.   Any help/suggestions greatly appreciated.

 When I look for the SNR of the Sonos Port there is no Network details option.

Hi, I have a problem. 7 months ago I bought speaker lamp from ikea. I used it quite a lot, and I didn't have problems. 3monts ago we upgraded to new network and I didn't use sonos lamp since.Today, I try to log in but it keeps telling me something, so I was sacred. I deleted the app and I think I created new account. I factory reseted it.But it keeps telling me the password of my internet isn't correct. I watched tutorials where it is plugged into the router but mine is in the wall ( english is not my first language sorry)If you know anything it would help

Under the Albums tab, some albums contain all of the songs in the album and for other albums all songs are displayed as separate albums.  

After latest update my surround speakers have semi disappeared by which I mean they don’t work (but I can still start/stop playback and change volume on the beam using the physical units). The beam shows no surrounds in app but they do show as surrounds under Sonos system info.  I also can no longer find the settings for managing what the surrounds should do when it’s not surround sound supported audio. Wanted to check that wasn’t a problem.I genuinely can’t believe updates are still causing problems. What are they spending all these millions on?!I can just about remember when using Sonos was a joy but the memory is fading. Anyone got any suggestions? (Please don’t suggest calling support that isn’t helpful). 

I have music in my iPhone library. How can i listen to it in my sonos speakers since I don’t have a subscription?

Hi all,I currently own a Sonos Play 5, Sub, Sonos One, Move, and Beam.  I just purchased a house that has a built-in system consisting of a Denon AVR-X3700H, Onkyo 2-channel Amplifier (M282), and a Nikes Speaker selector (SSVC4).  This equipment is powering a total of 9 speakers (7 indoor, 2 outdoor).  I would like to integrate my Sonos with this system to provide additional sound to the house.  What is the best route to do this, and how?  It looks like I will need to purchase a Sonos Port, but I’m not completely sure.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi The issue has gotten worse over the past few months, and not sure if all the updates with the Sonos App has hurt it. Now Spotify is integrated into the system, I would think it would be more seamless. When an ad comes up, or sometimes just randomly, playback will get stuck and stop. And there’s like no way to get it back, I can’t get it to play anything on Spotify anymore. I have to start playing something else just to get it unstuck. Anyway, playing Spotify almost isn’t worth it for how often it’s happening now. Please help, 

I just moved and changed internet to verizon gateway. I get all the way thru to where speaker wants to connect and when I type in password it keeps saying it can't connect. Password is correct. Please help, super frustrated

I have old rectangular in ceiling speakers that connect to a sonos amp.  I want to replace the speakers and not have to do too much patch work.  Can I use the in wall rectangular speakers in the ceiling?

Dear SONOS Enthusiasts,I plan to purchase and install SONOS equipment to create a surround sound home theater in my living room, which measures 16x24 ft (please see the attached layout). Given the Samsung OneConnect HDMI ARC already wired to the SONOS Amplifier, I have two specific questions:Can I connect the SONOS Sound Bar to the TV via HDMI, as shown in the attached figure? Can the SONOS SUB connect to the amplifier wirelessly over Wi-Fi?If the answers to both questions are yes, will I be able to create a surround sound system with both wired and wireless connections?Thank you for your assistance!Best,CJ  

Hi,We have multiple house connected throught optical fiber and multiple Sonos Amp in the same network subnet (about twenty). We would to know how can we optimize the network (using igmp snooping, create subnet for each house or each zone, enable multicast routing on router).Thank you in advance for your feedback.
