I have several ROAM and ERAs in my home system. One of my ROAM started playing at supper low volume. Maxing it out, either manually or through the app, it doesn't play at even half the volume as other ROAMs in my system. What could the issue be?

Hey all, I have 6 sonos speakers set up in my reception, but recently ive been having the issue of them unsyncing, and some speakers playing music whilst others arent. What can I do to fix this?

 I think it would be better if there was more space for a track name in the queue.  If the three lines used to move tracks were hidden until an Edit command ( added to the 3 dot menu ) was available.  That new Edit command would bring up the 3 lines that allow the moving of a track.  Another option would be a smaller font size for the track names. You can see in the screenshot of Nielsen symphonies where you cannot see what the symphony number is.  If the 3 lines were not there that symphony number might show.  Another issue with having the 3 lines always there is when I scroll on occasion I’ll accidentally move a track. 

We have had our Sono system for years and it's been great. We recently had a new router installed and I’ve been having troubles ever since.After doing some research online it looked like the wifi bands being synchronised may have been the issue as Sonos primarily operates at 2.4GHz. I have spilt the bands on our router and connected the Sonos and my phone to the 2.4GHz but I’m still having issues.Every time I try and play anything the error message “ Unable to play - network connection speed insufficient to maintain playback buffer” showsI have the two play 3’s and play 5 with a bridge but nothing is connected directly to the router as they are all quite far away from it Can anyone please help as it's driving me insane, especially as I thought I have cracked it! 

I’ve just spent 4 hours on both on the Sonos chat and then had to call to try and get my system up and running. I’ve upgraded my Vodafone wifi 6E router to WiFi 7 but can only get my 4 x ERA 300 speakers to work. I can’t get the Arc and any of my older speakers to work ie Play one (gen2) x 2 or play 3 and Play 5.At the end I was told no they won’t work as our speakers aren’t compatible with WiFi 7 except the ERAs. So I’ve now got a partly obsolete system. I would have expected to be told that within 5 minutes if that’s really the case not 4 hours later after exhausting every avenue. I also asked so if I upgrade to the Arc ultra will it work but apparently it won’t either , I find it hard to believe no one else has had this issue as im sure many people are upgraded to WiFi 7.Has anyone heard if Sonos are addressing this or anyone had similar issues ? 

Read online about Steven Wilson’s new HeadPhone Dust site that offers “pristine high-res & immersive audio”. Will Sonos support content from that website? From what I can tell, you have to play the audio through Plex, Infuse or Kodi. Offers high-res audio, 5.1 surround, Dolby Atmos & Binaural content.https://headphonedust.store/ 

Hello everyone,Lately, I've noticed the volume level seems lower when integrating Sonos and Spotify. I've tested this on several Era 100s, Fives, and Sonos Ones, and I find myself needing to increase the volume significantly compared to last week. Do you know if there have been any recent changes to the Spotify integration volume? This occurs whether using Spotify Connect and the Sonos app. Do you have the same feeling?

Is it possible to pair my Denon RCD-M41DAB to a stero pair of Era 100s? At the moment it doesn’t register the speakers at all, I wondered if it might only be possible to connect to one speaker and not a stero set-up. 

Roku tv remote will not charge volume on my RAY soundbar 

Hi. I have been trying to play music on my Era 100 for a good while now, and it just won’t. It can connect to my phone, and my phone says it’s working and playing music through it, but no sound will come out. I tried turning it on and off, without any success. If it can help solving my problem, I’m using Spotify and am on iOS 18.6.2.

Can I add the sonos app to a second phone and then add my system there also? 

YouTube and Spotify both use Opus (Vorbis container) as their main codec, using AAC (MP4/M4A container) as a lower quality fallback.YouTube also only offers it's Stable Volume feature in Opus, via DRC. The current situation means it cannot be passed through to Sonos and needs to be transcoded first.Please add Opus, it needs minimal decoding power, is much more modern than either mp3 or aac, and is not patent encumbered.This has been requested for years now, two examples: - https://en.community.sonos.com/controllers-and-music-services-229131/why-is-sonos-ignoring-opus-support-6888615- https://en.community.sonos.c

I keep getting the message “Access denied” or “Content is unavailable” and cannot play the music I want to.Why?

I have a complicated issue. I have a 65” Samsung TV that is connected to my Sonos whole-house audio system via ethernet and a BINARY B-260-ARC adapter. When connected via HDMI eARC port to the Binary component, the resulting sound cuts out every 2-3 seconds. (Sound works fine when using TV speakers or when connected directly to a soundbar.) I have replaced all connected components and cables. Samsung has verified that TV is working properly. One tech told me that Samsung has a known defect that often causes intermittent issues with Sonos (unverified). Any thoughts on how to overcome this problem?

My Play:5 Gen1 has no sound coming from the mid-range speakers. Bass and tweeters are working fine.The main PCB shows the 5 x output caps are all bulging. I’ll get those changed.Also Q27304 is cracked so I assume failed.The IC is SOIC6. The marking on the top is M05A; which I think is a package code for SOIC6.But what is the IC?Any help appreciatedRay 

Hi All,  New Sonos ERA-100 set-up issue. I cannot get my cellphone to Bluetooth to pair will speakers.But!  But I have been able to do it with my laptop. My goal is to stream music from non-Sonos sources. Any suggestions?  Thanks! 

I have a Sonos Arc system, two Era300s, and a Gen3 subwoofer. I'd like to have a button within the surround sound speaker options that allows me to set it to full surround sound mode for TV sources when they're PCM stereo 2.0. Just like with music, this is disabled if it detects a 5.1 source, Atmos, etc. This way, we could play any YouTube content or Spotify music on the TV in full surround sound. It would just need to be added to the Sonos app, and users could enable it. Disabled, it would work the same as it does now.Thanks!

Hi everyone,I’m experiencing a high-pitched “beep / whine” noise when using the LINE-IN on my Sonos Five, and I’m hoping for some advice.Setup:- Turntable with built-in phono preamp- External phono preamp also tested (same result)- RCA → 3.5mm cable into Sonos Five LINE-IN- LINE-IN source level tested from low to high- Audio Compression: Auto / Compressed (no change)- Autoplay ON/OFF tested- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices nearby minimized- Different cables tested- Different power outlets testedWhat happens:- A faint but clearly audible high-frequency “beep” or electronic whine- Noise is present even when no record is playing- Noise level changes depending on LINE-IN source level and volume- More noticeable during quiet passages or when volume is raisedImportant note:When I disconnect the LINE-IN cable from the Sonos Five, the noise disappears completely.This makes me th

The system has been mostly functional, but last night—of course, with a house full of people—it completely fell apart. The standard Sonos response was the predictable “it’s your network,” which is nonsense. It has never been my network. This is a small-business-grade enterprise system running security (including cameras and door entry), HVAC, lighting, and general Wi-Fi without a single issue. Sonos is the only thing that consistently struggles.I’m then told that multiple Port units need to be registered. Fine. I follow that path and immediately hit the requirement for precise location services to be enabled. For a wired streaming device. Completely unacceptable—but at this point I just want the system functional and don’t feel like sacrificing an entire weekend to troubleshooting. Even then, each unit takes multiple attempts before it finally registers.To make matters worse, the system only identifies devices by 

I currently own the first generation sonos arc and sub 1 paired with two(2) SL ones.I am planning on replacing the SL ones with a pair Eras 300 and add a sub 4 to use a dual sub, will this be possible.

Despite over 30 calls and chats with Sonos Support, I cannot play anything from Amamzon Music without songs dropping out because they are " not encoded correctly". This has now been going on for over 3 years. I have reset the apps, systems, speakers, reconnected etc etc and nothing works. So, currently I just bluetooth to my speakers directly from Amazon Music and it works perfectly. My internet is very fast (500mbps) and Support have checked diagnostic reports, packet size, channel etc and have run out of ideas or recommendations. Given its a common problem here, what have others done that has resolved this for them? I simply cannot use the Sonos App without the song dropping out after 1 min! At least Bluetooth works but what is the point of the Sonos app in this situation?!

Hello,,,I’m noticing lots of issues playing Amazon Music through Sonos speakers, anybody else experiencing this or know if it’s a known (and accepted issue by Sonos)? Issues with shuffle; constantly cycles through a small selection of songs in a playlists.Refusal to play songs later in a playlist; I manually select a songs but each and every time, the first song of the playlist plays, not the song selected. Regards Ted
