trueplay after app update

Does an app update (the latest) make any difference for the trueplay? Is it the software in the speakers or the app that make the settings right?

SiriusXM channels not listing in latest Sonos App... sonos and sirius pointing fingers at each other...

I spent 2 hours this morning with Sonos and SiriusXM trying to resolve an issue with how SiriusXM channels are displayed in the Sonos App. After the usual stuff (uninstalling, reinstalling, rebooting, etc...) Sonos ran a screen share and could clearly see that the Sirius channels are not being displayed properly. Sirius claims that this issue is on the Sonos end. To their credit, Sonos did temporarily log into their Sirius test account (via screenshare) within my Sonos app and their Sirius stations were displaying.Sirius seems to think this is an issue with how Sonos is handling the channel lineup info being delivered to them from Sirius. Seems right to me although that doesnt fully explain why the Sonos test account worked but my account didnt. Anyway, after numerous call backs I got tired of helping two large companies solve problems that they should be able to do without irritating their customers are wasting our time.Next step is to consider an alternative way to power my music at

Heads-up: New Sono iOS app is missing URLs feature from "TuneIn" (on MacOS)

Just a heads-up to those who may be upgrading to the new iOS app, there is an issue where the URLs we have put in via “TuneIn” on the older MacOS controller are not being propagated to the iOS app.   I talked with support, they are aware of it and will be fixing it in the near future.I presume they will make sure that is not an issue prior to releasing the update to MacOS.In the new iOS app, “TuneIn” appears to be a paid service now.  So I’m not sure how they’re going to mix all of this up.    In my case, I subscribe to another service (for years) that uses URLs to play their mixes and I really use a lot of their stuff, so I am anxious to have this fixed up.

Sonos Play 1 disconnecting from wifi when I add as surround to Beam

After changing around my living room and plugging back in my play:1’s they disconnected from my wifi. Since then I have not been able to get them to add back in as surrounds.  I have hard reset all three items. I have recycled my router multiple times. I have removed them from the device list from my router. I have tested adding just one speaker to sonos and able to stream music to it. When I add the second one it asks me to make it surround so I select yes and it looks like it adds them. When I leave the sonos app and comes back in it shows me connectivity problems   and both play are not connected and then I go to the app for the router and  the speakers are no longer connected to the router.  All sonos items are connected via wifi. I can see both the playbase and the beam in my router app, but none of my 4 sonos play or my sub.

BT Smart Hub 2 arrived today | Duplicate IP addresses show in Hub Manager->My Devices

Due to BT switching over to Digital Voice we received the latest Smart Hub 2 from them today. I setup the router and conned my iPad, my partners iPad and our phones to it, all good.  Next up I decided to add my Sonos speakers to it. In the living room I have a Beam, Sub and two Sonos One SL speakers, and upstairs I have a Sonos One.I’ve not experienced any issues as yet, but I’m seeing some worrying info in the Hub Manager->My Devices, namely duplicate IP addresses, but in the Sonos App on my phone I’m not seeing any duplicate IPs at all?This is a screen grab from the BT Smart Hub, Hub Manager: This is a screen shot from the Sonos App->Settings->System->About My System on my iPhone.  As you can see there are no dupes and the IP address for the Beam is totally different to that shown I’m the Smart Hub 2, Hub Manager settings.  Anyone have any idea what’s going on here?Thanks,Moderator edit: removed serial numbers and MAC addresses

Feedback on Actual Usage of New Sonos App

Just installed the iPad version. Definitely do not like the app compared to the old one.The new app feels way more busier, due to everything being thrown at you at once (which was their design intention). I’m not saying this approach can’t work though. I’m just saying that the way they designed it, it doesn’t feel right.In terms of the look and feel, it feels less stylish to me and more cheap. Like it feels like I’m using the Amazon Alexa app (which I hate). The album covers are smaller and not as pronounced, compared to the previous apps recents area.And the Now Playing screen on the iPad?! Like WTF? Why is there a gap around it showing the interface area behind it (ie Home area)? Why isn’t it full screen (and without rounded corners)? Makes zero design sense, as it’s super distracting, only adding to the busy feeling of the screen. Also see no option to make the app dark instead of light.All said and done, this just makes me want to not use the app at all, unless there are substantia

Is Sonos killing local libraries with these new software updates?

Just updated the iOS app and I don’t see any way to search or access my local library on my computer.  I know this was the case when Sonos updated the search feature in the S2 app, but now it seems like there’s no “classic search” option.  What’s the deal?

YouSee musik virker delvist ikke

Vi har nu i et stykke tid oplevet, at man ikke kan søge i YouSee musik, og pga noget kan min hustru browse og afspille sine favoritter mens jeg kan slet ikke noget. Dette foregår kun i Sonos app, dvs. den almindelige YouSee musik app virker for os begge. Vi har tjekket status for YouSee musik tjeneste og den var grøn, så alt bør fungere. Vi har ligget af og på siden samt geninstalleret Sonos appen og hverken af disse har afhjulpet problemet. Der har nu været sådan i et par uger. Er det en, der har oplevet det samme? Mvh Petr Moderator edit:Google Translate- For a while now we have experienced that you cannot search in YouSee music, and for some reason my wife can browse and play her favorites while I can't do anything at all. This only takes place in the Sonos app, i.e. the regular YouSee music app works for both of us. We have checked the status of the YouSee music service and it was green, so everything should work. We have been on and off the site and reinstalled the Sonos app and n

Sonos ARC + LG G4 eARC Issue

Hi all,Took delivery of a 77” LG G4 2 days ago.There is an eARC issue I am experiencing specifically with Dolby & DTS content when reverting to Multichannel PCM 5.1 using external devices.Basically, if I am playing something in Dolby Atmos on the Apple TV for example & then switch over to a device which is set to Multichannel PCM 5.1 (Like the Nintendo Switch surround sound setting), I will have no audio on the Nintendo Switch until either turning the TV off and back on again or completely powering off the apple tv which then seems to release the audio for the Nintendo Switch.Like I said earlier, this only happens when you are playing or have just played Dolby/DTS content on an external device and then while that device is still turned on you switch inputs to another external device. It doesn’t happen with Stereo, Multichannel PCM 7.1 or any other format, which makes me thing it’s an LG firmware bug causing it.Anyone else here with an LG G4, Sonos ARC, Apple TV 4K & PS5/Nin

Split system Auto Updating

I run a split S1 / S2 setup primarily as I have found that a stereo Play:3 pair runs much more smoothly on S2. I have a Move and Amp on S2 with no issues. This morning I went to play my Play:3 pair and the S1 App window defaulted to direct me to the S2 app. I contacted chat and Alex advised that the Play:3 pair were on the S2 app. Strange I thought as I had not elected to upgrade.It seems after two attempts to downgrade the Play:3 to S1 they auto update to S2 without any user interaction.The stereo pair are running on S2 and will just have to see how it goes as they have in the past they started getting laggy and that is both wired and wireless.It would seem that some update has been pushed out and auto updating anything on S1.Now: Version: 16.1.1 (build 78152020)

Adding a Windows SMB Share, Step-by-Step

For those who have been using the Sonos proprietary(ish) file sharing built into the about-to-be-deprecated Windows desktop client (SonosLibraryShare.exe), here are the steps to enable Windows 11 ‘native’ SMB file sharing (applies to Windows 10 with some nomenclature differences). Godspeed to all.If you’re running an up-to-date version of Windows 10 or 11, you’ll automagically get SMBv2 which is forward-compatible with Sonos. (SMBv1 and SMBv2 discussed at length elsewhere in these forums).1. Switch your LAN to “Private Network”Settings > Network & internet > Ethernet/WiFi- Select “Private Network” radio button2. Enable file sharingSettings > Network & internet > Advanced sharing settings- Under “Private networks” (current profile) section    - Set “Network discovery” On    - Set “Setup network connected devices automatically” checked    - Set “File and printer sharing” On3. Setup local account specifically for music file sharingOh man, I can’t tackle the whole “loca

LG magic remote and playbase

Used to have a Samsung TV that went wrong and I replaced it with an LG. The old remote worked, and is still working with my playbase, however when I try to update and use my magic remote via the Sonos app it says it can’t find it. I’ve been through every (logic to me) menu I can think of numerous times. IN the TV I am connected via the optical lead. On the TV’s app I have selected Sonos as the manufacturer but the app says it can’t connect because of the null modem cable!!!! Sonos helpline says it’s because of the TV and it’s settings, even spoke to one of their tech guys who said get in touch with LG, but thought I’d try on here to see if anybody can help me. I have read several discussions on this topic and have tried “Bose” and “Phillips” but neither have worked. Anybody got any ideas please???

Inferior sound on Samsung TVs with Sonos Beam

Hello,I would like to open discussion and try to find some answers to my issue.It has been few months since I start noticing some issue with the sound coming out of my Sonos Beam, it was mostly noticeable with sounds of traffic or rain where the sound was getting the infamous metallic qualities as if it was being compressed. Especially when having the Sonos in Night Mode the effect was even more exaggerated and noticeable. I started searching what the issue is and whether this is issue of my TV or the soundbar itself.First I tired to play same sound via TV and then via Wifi connection. It was clear that via Wi-Fi the sound was playing without any distortion. I got a new HDMi cable with a Arc support and change the original Sonos one, this did not solve my issue either. I spent hours chatting with the support of both Sonos and Samsung, went through remote reset of both systems, did not help Finally I brought the soundbar to my friend with a different TV (also Samsung, different model) t
