Unable to change music channel on sonos 5 speaker

Who designed this terrible app and WHY? I have many Sonos speakers and give them as gifts all the time. I am DONE with Sonos if they don’t fix this truly terrible app. Looking at different options and will switch if I have too. Not accepting this!

Purchased a Link Station NAS drive as requested by Sonos….Get “ Music files not available” message also saying device may not be powered on or path has changed. Van add small files/albume apround 80 mb, but get message when trying to add one folder/album at a time. any ideas?

I have just purchased a Ray sound bar and I am having great difficulty setting it up.i have followed the instructions in the app and get a white flashing light and I attempt to add my ray sound bar to the app the light continues to flash white but stops after 30 seconds and will not connect.i am hoping to attach a Sony turntable via Bluetooth eventually but can’t even add to my iPhone to stream music.PLEASE HELP!!!

Starting this morning (7/17) the Sonos Android app is just repeatedly crashing. It’s been generally terrible and barely usable since the redesign, but now it’s literally useless. Just immediately crashes. No updates were installed to the app or phones, and nothing else has changed in my system. I’ve tried force stopping, clearing cache, clearing all storage, and completely uninstalling & reinstalling. The Windows desktop app still works, but both phones we have are seeing this issue. Anyone else seeing this and/or know a workaround? Sonos App v80.04.05-release+20240702.edb3233Android 14, Kernel 5.10.198 sec patch level July 1, 2024

Has anyone experienced this?My IOS S2 app can browse and select playlists that I created using the Sonos controller app. But it is unable to play the playlist. After selecting a playlist, the S2 app populates the queue for the device I want to play it on. I see this occur in the UI. BUT, when I try to play the playlist, or even a single song in the queue, the S2 app simply shows a spinning circle.All of my playlists were created with the S1 version of the controller (desktop and IOS versions). These playlists are called  “Sonos Playlists” in the desktop version of the controller. I don’t have this issue when using the desktop version of the S2 controller. I can browse, select and play any of the playlists that I created with the Sonos controller. Even more strange….. If I queue up a playlist with the desktop controller, I can then control (pause, start) play of the playlist from the IOS S2 app. I can also use the S2 app to select and play individual songs in the queue.

My Sonos Beam is current connected to our TV and works perfectly.   Where this is, we want to connect a CD player so that we can play the CD’s through the Beam, rather than have a second set of speakers for the CD player.Is this possible, and how would I go about it please? Many thanks

I have 2 systems in 2 different houses and both have stopped working. When I open the app and try to play a song from my playlist nothing happens. At one house it says I have to reinstall the system.  should I delete the app and reinstall?  Please advise.  thanks

Sonos Amp working on WiFi or ethernet no problem at all. All the other sonos not working. All working fine up to a week ago now only Amp. 

I have my system on apple. My Android phone will never recognized my system 

I have to insert an 8 digit code to override the airplay error from my iPhone.  I have found multiple different subjects like serial number, Pin, model.  None of them are 8 digits. Some are longer and some are shorter.  I assume there is a trick to complete this task.  I have no idea as to which one of the subjects I need to use and how do I arrange 8 digits?  For instance, my PIN number is 7 digits with dashes in between some of the numbers.  There has got to be a reasonable answer.  It took me 3 hours to find all these numbers.  I hope one of them is usable with some modifications?

since the app was updated, all 4 of my speakers, including beam for TV either have trouble connecting or disconnect.  I’ve had to disconnect the beam from my TV, as it shuts down during a program.  Took me a minute to figure out that it was the sonos and not my TV.  

Has anyone else had issues with their Roam SL re-connecting to your system after a power cycle? I can force it to play through Airplay and Apple Music, but it absolutely WILL NOT connect to my Sonos system—ever. I reboot, re-connect, see that the speaker is listed as a speaker in my system, but it will not play. I have upgraded the Sonos app on my phone to the latest version, and AFAIK there isn’t an outstanding upgrade for the Roam SL. Hugely frustrating, so I’m hoping someone has a suggestion, a hack or a fix other than using Airplay.

Thank goodness they finally allowed alarms again after the new app did not include them. But I am still having a problem. Though I can set alarms and turn them off, once music is started with an alarm, I cannot navigate to it in the app to stop it, or see what song is playing. If I navigate to the speaker that it is playing on, the app does not seem to know that it is playing so I cannot adjust anything. Am I missing something or is SONOS app missing more functionality?

AS ABOVE. PLUS. The recent update wiped everything on my ‘phone playlists. Clunky use on my beam and tv. Kept dropping out/stopping music played.

I pay for three music subscriptions. Spotify. Classical Archives, and Idagio, While Spotify is working fine, I cannot access playlists or other features of Classical Archives or Idagio using the new app. Since I pay for these, I need to have access like I did in the old app soon. I have reauthorized both subscriptions probably a dozen or so times. Is there something else I should do? 

I can no longer acess my local music folder on Apple Music. I get the following error message when I try to add ‘My Music Folder’“Sonos was unable to add the music folderUnable to add the shared folder "I/mini-M2-Pro/Music" to your Music Library (913).”I am using a Mac mini M2 Pro with OS Sonoma 14.5/ Sonos controller for Mac version 16.2I have tried to unistall and re install the Sonos App but nothing chages. When will this be fixed basically my Sonos is now just a speaker for my TV.

Ever since we updated the sonos app, we haven’t been able to find any music from our library. It seems like for some people it came back eventually, but ours hasn’t been there fore 3 weeks now.  We use Sonos because we enjoy all the music we have in iTune, and we don’t use any streaming services. Now that this function doesn’t work, we have 4 sonos speakers that are totally useless.  When can we get our Music library back to the Sonos??????

Since the last update, it takes 5 seconds or longer for the music to stop when I turn it off -- even after I close the app completely. I’ve had to run outside my house to answer a phone call because I couldn’t get the music to turn off. The delay happens whether I have all the speakers on or just one.  

I’ve just added a travel router to my apartment and would like to change the network used by my Sonos system, but I can only find out how to remove a network, not add one in the new app.

Do anyone here know what to do when the new sonos app is downloadet to my partners iphone8 but we cant get past the terms for use because the button to accept the terms doesn’t get active? On my iphone13 it works fine.

After an update in ~May 2024, now my Sonos Connect disconnects after a little over a minute of playing anything (approximately 1 minute and 15 seconds). It briefly disappears from the app, and then reappears a minute later with an empty playlist. I assume the device is crashing and rebooting. This happens if I try to play it independently as well as part of a group of other Sonos devices. I have tried factory resetting it, to no avail, still happens. I keep patiently hoping this is a known issue and a new update will fix it but I just applied the July 2024 update and it still happens. My Connect is sadly basically useless now. Thankfully, my Roam, Beam, and Five work fine; this just affects the Connect.Here are some specific details:Sonos OS: S2Version: 16.3 (build 80155014)Hardware Version: 1.17.5.5-1.0Series ID: C100WM: 0OTP: 1.1.1(1-17-5-zp90-2.1)

I sat on the Sonos chat line until I was offered a solution to this problem. Here’s the solution: 1. Open the Sonos app for iOS or Android. 2. Navigate to Account > Content Services > Connected Services. 3. Select the service you wish to remove (Apple Music) 4. Select Remove Service. 5. Follow the on-screen prompts to remove the service from the Sonos system. E After that, from the same Account tab select Content Services > Connected Services > Add Content Service > Choose the service to be added, and select Add to Sonos. This solved the problem for me. 

I have an ARC, (5) FIVES, (5) 3rd Gen Subs and (4) One's. Going on 4 years now.  Everything was working fine, until my router died. I have since replaced the router but now my speakers won't connect.
