Get help and assistance with your Sonos system

So with the new app, i lost my whole system. I managed to add everything again except for the Sub. The app recognizes it on the network but crashes after 2 seconds when trying to add it, already factory resetted it. What to do?  

I have a solid red status light on ARC after update.Reboot and attempt at factory reset have the same result. 2 slow white flashes on the status light followed by the speaker light flash, this sequence loops a few times then solid red.I have tried factory reset with ethernet cable connected as well. SONOS chat support was not help after 2 hrs waiting for responses. any help please??

Hey guys,I have just bought a Sonos Amp and have connected my record player to it via the RCA outputs, I’m just wondering if I can also connect my cd player? Is it possible to use an HDMI cable from the HDMI output on the Amp then attach a Sonos Optical Audio Adapter which then plugs into the Optical output of the cd player?Thanks!

Okay, this is going to be long. Like many of you I have hit the wall on the NAS issue.  Don’t let them lie to you about SMB.  It is 100% about indexing.Normal folder structure of Artist/Album/Song craps out quickly.  The meta-data is just too large for the crappy app So I copied songs individually to folders.  First couple of folders could do about 1000 songs. Works perfect. Can index these songs. If you do more than that it fails.  So this is a VOLUME issue, not a SMB issue So I created a few more Folders with 1000 or so songs in them and was able to index those.  Fine By the time I was at 5 Folders, needed few and few songs per folder Stupid, terrible, unfriendly app craps out at 16 folders (hard max) I can’t prove it, but it seems like things loaded better if I cleaned up some special characters that were part of the song names.So I can get roughly 9,000 of my 22,000 songs into SONOS.In the mean time, the help chat continues to spread the lie that this is about SMB.  If that was tru

Sonos Sux so much. Just wondering how it couldbget SO bad? I mean this thing is SO clunky. Who the f*** designed this app? Some f***ng moron. Really hate it. Would never use it again. F*** Sonos. *Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.*  

Well after investing probably circa £2k on Sonos speakers over the years I’m left completely exasperated by the utter uselessness of the black app.    It is truly shocking by comparison to the rust coloured app that preceded it.  It cuts out all the time, stops working when it feels like it, and changes songs midway through.  What a great update Sonos team……errr I don’t think so.   What has angered me most is the removal of the ability to add songs your currently playing to your own playlist.  Call me old fashioned but in any music app surely the first thing is should do is allow you to add to your own playlist. Not a bloody Sonos one that doesn’t even work correctly. All the decent functionality was removed and replaced with utter crap.  What I really don’t understand is how the tech people and the board are still in office.  Yes the CEO wrote out to say sorry but didn’t you consult your client base first.  Surely the first rule in business is to meet the needs of your customers. Had

We were promised a fix in September, what is the target date for a fix? This is really bad escape defect.  We have waited over 4 months!

Today, my app tells me that I need to reauthorize the TuneIn app because account access has expired.  I follow the simple on screen process that takes me to the TuneIn website to authorise the connection but I get a message saying the pairing didn't work"Something went wrong when trying to pair to your Sonos System.Please return to the Sonos app and try again using the same credentials."Anyone know how to fix this?Thanks

I have had Sonos for a decade.  4 amps, a sub, multiple Play:1’s, Play 3, It went from one of my favorite products … so intuitive, so easy.  After all the upgrades, the app is impossible to use, the speakers for my tv work for 10 seconds then stop working for 3 seconds.  If I didn’t have so much invested in the system, I’d throw it out.  DO NOT BUY ANY SONOS PRODUCT UNTIL IT IS FIXED.

i’ve spent the last 2,5 hours trying to get apple music working inside of the sonos app (i’ll leave the new app with all it’s flaws for another day). with how difficult it is to get it to work i feel it’s actively trying to prevent from using apple music inside of the sonos app, there’s no other way to conclude. everytime i try to sign in it downright refuses to get the authorization in. Everything from changing the DNS to rebooting router, the sonos system itself, trying an android device and the thought of factory resetting my entire account has driven me to the forum. i’m out of suggestions for what i could try. at what time frame can we expect somewhat of a usable state of the app and all features that used to exist? 

Bonjour, comment démarré toutes les enceintes en une fois avec le téléphone pour la télévision ? à chaque fois les enceintes s'arrêtent. Moderator Edit: Google Translate- Hello, how do I start all the speakers at once with the phone for the television? each time the speakers stop.

Hey. Is there a way to remote turn on/off the lamp in IKEA Symfonisk? Or do I have to do it using the button on the lamp/loudspeaker?

Mit meine Android Geräte wird die Musikbibliothek erkannt kann aber keine Musik abspielen. Von den Windows Gerät funktioniert es einwandfrei ( ist nicht komfortable den Laptop immer zu starten). Seit dem Update ist die Sonos Android App eine Katastrophe Moderator Edit: Google Translate -  With my Android devices the music library is recognized but cannot play music. From the Windows device it works perfectly (it is not convenient to always start the laptop). Since the update, the Sonos Android app has been a disaster

Ever since this new update, Sonos is impossible to work with this new stupid app. Why was it changed? It worked, so you hired somebody to break what was working. Go work for the government because you suck at what you do. 

Until the major update to the Sonos App months ago my Arc was happily playing music from a set of music libraries I had set up on a MacMini connected via Ethernet. Then the libraries, and any way of adding them disappeared from the App. More recently the means of adding a library has returned but when I try to re-add the libraries I get the error ‘Unable to connect. Check the user name and password’. I am using the latest version of the App on my iPhone.Needless to say the path name, user name and password are all the same as used before, and have been rechecked many times. I have switched on and off everything multiple times. I have rechecked all the file sharing permissions & SMB enabled multiple times. In short the only thing that has changed is the App.As my Arc sits there silent month after month I am getting more and more fed up, when is this going to be fixed.

Hello,I have an extensive SONOS system throughout my home and an Arc+2-ones+sub in the living room. The issue first occurred 5-6 weeks ago while an Amazon playlist was playing at a reasonable volume with 4 rooms grouped.It happened again 3-4 weeks ago and it was also on an Amazon Playlist with 4 rooms including arc grouped.  At this point, I assumed that it was a song with an issue.  It was annoying and creepy but I'd eventually be able to find/remove the song from my playlist.It happened again today while listening to an apple Playlist and I know for a fact it was a different song.It took me until today to realize the sound is emanating from the arc(because the sound is so loud it sounds like its coming from everywhere including inside my brain).  For a random period of I'd say is 5-8 seconds, a loud metallic, alien, and haunting sound comes out of the living room sonos which has the arc.  The volume of the sound is inconsistent with the volume of the music that was playing.  The musi

Hi All, just thought I would post a work around for Sonos MacOs desktop software. Due to the fact that without so complex work around of tricking the software that you are using a NAS drive in order to access your local files I find bypassing the Sonos MacOs app completely and just using Mac Music software and changing the output to the Sonos speaker (see image). the benefit of this is Mac playlists are accessible.  I have now given up using Sonos software. I still believe the hardware is good quality. the software issues have go on for to long. may switch to Mac speakers in the future 

Hi, last night I disconnected my Symfonisk speaker and now it doesn’t recognise any Ethernet cables.  any suggestions on how to move forward? thanks

Sonos app is playing Spotify queue through whole system even though Spotify is disconnected, no search function is available and no option to exit. Help…

Have turntable and port.has been working great across full system. Now no sound.  Says line in and shows music  but not coming thru speakers 

We have one sonos system set up in our apartment in the city, and another at our weekend home. If someone is listening in the city, and another is listening at the weekend home, one will get disconnected. How can I correct this?

(also tried “Always” under Location)I’ve had two Play 1’s for a while now. Firmware is up to date, on same network. Plus phone is on same network as speakers.I just did a fresh setup for one of them.After all the steps, it was connected. Plays from app. Perfect, done.However, it asked to “Allow Sonos to detect nearby products.” And, for some reason I don’t understand, said microphone was necessary to “detect nearby products.” (See pic). Microphone detects products? Okay, I allowed everything.But, it’s not detecting any nearby products.Airplay isn’t working either (iOS) and it used to all the time. I know it now says airplay is “not supported,” but I used to stream straight from my iPad files folder by going to the “Now Playing” section on the iPad and choosing “Sonos.”Thanks
