Get help and assistance with your Sonos system

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?!

The "sound height" adjustment does not work on Tidal, unlike on Apple Music.

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

HiI have Sonos since around 2017. Since two weeks I have a new computer with Windows 11 and now I am unable to use the Sonos Music Library on the Windows App (Sonos Controller for PC). Error messages:Sonos was unable to add the music folder. Please check that the path to the folder, and the username and password if needed, are correct. Reason: Access to the shared folder "\\XY" is denied.or"\\XY" is no longer available. The device where the music files are stored may not be powered on, or the path may have changed.What I would like to achieve is to incorporate two folders in my Sonos Music Library (as was before):C:\Music\01-MusicC:\Music\02-MusicNewThe folders are 121 GB and 210 GB in size respectively and shared with a dedicated local Windows user account (no microsoft online account).I am able to access the paths via UNC (e.g. \\MyComputer\01-Music) in Windows Explorer locally as well as

The app seems to be getting progressively worse. I’ve now got the following issues. Alarm didn’t go off today Tried and failed to play music to the relevant speaker  if trying to interact with app, I need to close and restart as many as 4 times before it properly loads Can’t play music to several speakers  Almost impossible to play everywhere - always fails  My WiFi is good around the house is there an update coming any time soon to fix all of this? Terrible experience for a system so dependent on the app, especially if you have lots of devices.  Graeme 

I’m a complete novice and not technically gifted!  I have a Sonos Era 100 and Amazon Prime unlimited.  I can’t link the two so that the playlist on Amazon plays on Sonos.  Help please.  Thanks 

Hi, Do you know if Sonos will support Qobuz Connect ? The Qobuz app has some features that the Sonos  app does not… Thanks.

I wanted to gauge from the community as to whether or not people are experiencing bad sound quality through their arc ultra speakers as I have had two units and both have produced a slightly distorted/fuzzy sound specifically from the right side of the speaker. I don’t know if it’s bad luck or not but wanted to check with others to see if they’re also experiencing this and what they did to fix it? My arc ultra is connected to my Samsung tv through the eARC port with the cable provided and use my Apple TV 4K Gen 1 to watch content. The fuzzy noise is present when watching any kind of media through the Apple TV as well as when I’m streaming music through the Sonos app and even when adding the product to my system through the chime it plays as well as during the trueplay tuning. I have even changed the settings on the Samsung tv such that sound is output via pass through rather than automaticAny help would be much appreciated, I will try get the product

I have an Arc Ultra and 2 Era 300. What I want to do is 1) to get the home theatre setup, having the Era’s as surrounds - this is easy to do - and also 2) use the Era’s 300 as a stereo pair, using my turntable connected to one Era via line-in. This works easily, but it seems I cannot have options 1 and 2 configured through the app? If I configure the Era’s as surrounds, then it seems I lose the line-in for the turntable, and the stereo pair. I can’t understand this Sonos limitation (or perhaps I’m too clumsy?)

New Sky 500 max router, old ish Sonos one. All ok until i needed to connect to latest WIFI.It connects when wired no problem but will not work wireless. I have tried many times. Factory resets etc etc. I am not especially tech savvy but usually get by. Not this time. Tried Iphone and Samsung phones.

I spent $2500 on a system that I deeply regret because of the app. The speakers aren’t the problem, it’s the app. Now I have system for sale on Marketplace for a 1/3 of what I paid and absolutely no interest. And why isn’t app an option in the subject drop down menu?I would not recommend.

Why won’t my Play:1 and Play:3 connect after a short power cut? I have factory reset both products and also reset the S2 app…all to no avail. I cannot reconnect the Play speakers and this has been over a week now, but somehow my Beam seems miraculously immune to any issues whatsoever and has remained constantly connected! You couldn’t make it up. Why is Sonos so clunky and difficult to use? Has anyone had a similar issue or maybe help with any advice? 

Recent upgrade sony bravia 9. Sound out put in sonos app always show dolby multichannel 2.0 or 5.1 . Earlier sony 950G, i used to see dolby atmos if dolby content played. Is this expected ? Any thoughts plsSorry abt mispelled titleSONY BRAVIA 9

I have two Sonos 1SL in two different rooms. I have WiFi repeaters, my phone picks up the repeater as well as the main router. When I leave my home, sometimes- not always- my speakers drop off wifi. I want them to remain on as I leave the radio on for my dogs. Why does this happen? I suspect because of the wifi repeaters. I wanted to get a cd player hifi to play cds and to stop this “dripping out” when I go out. Discovered that Sonos 1SL can’t connect by Bluetooth or wires. I do not want to spend £400 on a sonos port as I am not enamoured enough by the Sonos and so don’t want to invest any more money into them. Can anyone please help me to achieve what I want to as described. Thank you 

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?

I like that the dialog is very easy to hear without having to turn on any dialog adjustments. The problem is I barely hear the left and right channel audio. Background music is barely audible. I’ve tried it with both Trueplay turned on and off and there isn’t much improvement. I know the left/right channels are working because I hear music. Anyone else have this problem?

Seemingly 9 years later….I set up my Beam, Era 300’s, and 3 Plays.  Is there a way to group all of those together? My TV remote only controls volume for the beam group. I do not see a way to add the Play’s to the beam/300 group.  I see the same comments from 9 years ago. With responses that are a bit alarming. Paraphrasing, “Sonos usually takes a significant amount of time to update things in their system if there are a plethora of requests. This is not something that many request.”Interesting.My response to that thought. Not many typically want excellence if it costs them three to five times the average amount of money.  If there is no easy way to control the volume on my system with a TV remote, am I not living in the 80’s with several remotes in front of me? A good point is when the phone rings and I merely want to mute or lower the volume. In today’s world this happens to most of us often.  Why is it I cannot grou

I’ve been playing my Sonos’ from a NAS box in my basement for years. Works great, but not I don’t really need to have that box. Are there any cloud based SMB shares? A little bit of reading tells the there are security issues, but...

Procured a used Amp. After factory reset and “system Add” no sound from Sonance ceiling speakers. Simple test setup shows music on the app but no sound. 

I’m not sure if I can do anything about this strange behavior in some settings or if it’s a bug. It’s present on both iPhone and iPad. If I’m in player mode like shown on left picture and want to go somewhere else the first time I press an icon, it doesn’t change to that mode but some previous mode. I’m pretty sure it did not work like this a couple of updates ago. Not sure when it changed.On iPad it’s even worse because the controls jump from bottom to top when going from player mode in the same way as shown in the pictures. Seems like a minor bug to fix to me. If it’s not some obscure setting I haven’t found. 

Hi there, I’m so completely frustrated. For no apparent reason, my mini sub, and 2 x ONE SL’s have stopped working. All three speakers have a solid white light on but are now not showing in my “Living Room” system. The Arc Ultra is working. (I have an arc ultra, a mini sub and two ONE SL’s). I’ve tried a factory reset on the mini sub and it connected it to the wifi successfully and then at the final hurdle I get a message “Sub not found. Make sure your sub is powered on and connected to wifi” - which it is. During set up I got another saying “you may not see your speaker in your system and if so disconnect the power and reconnect power to finish set up” - I’ve tried that and NOTHING happens at which point my only option seemingly is to start the whole process again. I’m going around in circles.  Cheers.

My iPhone app will not locate a song I know is in my library.  I can go to it via artist or album. But this involves knowing what track is on which album. The PC app goes straight to the song. I’ve tried reindexing from my phone but no joy. Any ideas gratefully received. 

I’m raising this issue yet again.   I can confirm that that Sonos Arc Ultra displays the same issue with the very latest LG C5 TV.   So this problem is not confined to some older TV’s or some small subset of manufacturers.  Sonos seems to be intent on completely refusing and ignoring the problem.  This is a bug.  When is Sonos planning to fix this? Once you have Sonos Arc connected through HDMI ARC connection, you can no longer use built-in TV menu to route the sound to whatever output you want - be it internal TV speakers, headphones connected to TV or anything else.  After a few seconds the sound is again routed to Sonos.  I have previously confirmed on Samsung TV, that this was not a problem with the Samsung soundbar or Sennheiser sound bar.I already raised it previously reporting it for other TV model and it was closed: Also found simi
