problème entre sonos et spotify

Bonjour,Mon application Sonos a été mise à jour sur les deux appareils que j'utilise...Depuis, Spotify qui était dans mes services n'apparaît plus dedans... (je ne le trouve plus non plus dans la liste des services proposés par l'application...) Et quand je passe par l'application Spotify, je vois mes enceintes apparaître mais quand je cherche à envoyer la musique dessus, ça ne fonctionne pas...Auriez-vous des conseils?

Yamaha Enspire Disklavier to Sonos - PREAMP?

Hi all!Just received a long-coveted Yamaha Enspire piano DU1 ENST. A “real” accousitc piano with digital features and output, among other nice stuff...Have a large Sonos system (Amp + analogic speakers, 3 Play1s, 2 Move-s, 2 Era100s...), as we’re a (boutique) hotel.Just acquired a new Port to plug the piano to the whole system (RCA-RCA).Port functions properly (checked with an iPad through a jack-rca).When connected to the Piano, depending on the piano configs, either nothing happens or sound is VERY degraded (sound level + quality).I suspect I need a preamp.Any tips, given that I do not want to denaturate the Piano's musicality? Many thanks to all for this.

Please help! Epson 5050ub/HDMI Matrix/Beam+surrounds

Hi. I feel like I’ve scoured the earth and read every article and forum posting there is on the planet. I really want to utilize my Sonos system because I love Sonos.- Projector: Epson 5050ub (no built-in ARC)- Sonos: Beam Gen 1, plus One SL surrounds (planning to buy a Sub later)- HDMI Matrix: Brand AV Access, has ARC and optical.- Apple TV 4K, XBOX XIssues:Can’t do TV Setup in the Sonos app Can play audio from Apple TV but only via Airplay. Can’t use Apple TV remote to control volume.  Can’t play audio from XBOX whatsoever. Have adjusted some settings, forced HDMI in XBOX settings.Questions:How can I make all this work? Is an HD Arcana Fury required just for sound and Sonos setup? Is a Beam Gen 1 even capable of this?Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Limitied guest usage

Hello Team! We are letting out aparments on a short term basis.It would be good to have a service for our guests to enable them using our Sonos/Symfonisk system components for a limitied time without having admin right (meaning no access to confirgurations). This way they could link their audio services for a limitied time period which automatically would be deleted after they leaving. Do you have such a service now or plan it? Thanks, Robert

Why is Audio Quiet Via Line In?

I purchased two Era 100s to create a stereo pair and connect to my iMac for computer audio. I purchased the line in adapter. Audio via line in is incredibly quiet. I went to the line in settings and set level to “mac computer”, and that barely helped. I finally set level to 10 (the highest available) but even with my iMac volume set to max, it was a very quiet sound coming from the speakers.I switched to Wi-Fi connection, and the audio was super loud, so I know it’s not an issue with the speakers themselves.How can I increase the audio volume for line in from my iMac?

Unable to connect to SONOS every time I open app

I have 3 x SONOS Play 1. I’d gone off SONOS for about 18 months and not used it as I found it too glitchy and didn’t like that you couldn’t play many Podcasts through it.I was delighted when I realised it has been integrated with Audible and BBC Sounds so I decided to set it back up again. As I have recently moved I did a factory reset on all the Play 1s so I could do a fresh set up on a new router etc.After what seemed like an age and a real hassle I managed to get it set up on my and my wife’s phone with both our Audible, BBC and Spotify accounts, success……However, when I came to use it the net day I opened the app and got an “unable to connect to Sonos. Let’s fix it” message. After following the instructions, no I haven’t changed my network settings, un-plugging all the SONOS and my router it fails to get back on the system.I’ve re-tried setting it up again both with and without doing a factory reset, it seems like each time I get it set up then re-open the app I get the same messag

The Roam is connected via the app to Wi-Fi,but the LED is blue

Every time I connect to the Roam using the Sonos app the LED turns blue on the Roam. Seems wrong?  Seems the LED should be white on wi-fi, not blue.

Is the Roam a defective product?

I have $$$ of Sonos that I have purchased over the last two years.  I frequently have minor problems.  But, I have a problem often, as in weekly, with the Roam.  At present, its fully charged and I can’t get it to work properly.  It seem stuck in “Sleep Mode” or it says that it need upgrade but when I attempt to upgrade, I receive a error message after several minutes.  This has happened several times before.  I like the portability when it works but after a year I’m about to give up on the Roam or only use it for bluetooth.

ERA100 stereo pair set up problems

I have a new pair ERA100, set up as a stereo pair with a sub-mini, and have the following two problems:-No 1: Playing music in more than one zone, the pair sometimes drop out of the group unexpectedly. They can be added back immediately and without any problem (issues like this in the distant past have been “networky”, and the missing zone had lost its connection to the Sonos network and would not add back without some hassle).Could this be related to a keyboard shortcut that drops a zone from a group? I am not sure, but it seems to happen when I am typing on the keyboard of the Windows computer with the S2 client.I am not in the Sonos software when typing and this cause/effect may be my imagination.No 2: Whether grouped with other zones, or playing on their own the right speaker sometimes goes dead. It is still showing up as a device in the software settings, but unplugging the mains seems to be the only way to make it pair back up. It ha#e only happened with one of the pair.ERA100 ca

Radioplayer not working

It seems the integration with Radioplayer is broken again  1. The radio stations that I have added to my homescreen in the past do not start anymore clicking on them 2. Searching for radiostations in the old search do not include Radioplayer stations anymore 3. Searching for radio stations in the new search state that Radioplayer is not responding. The service status page does not mention any issue, which is obviously wrong.

Sound breaking up when watching TV

I have a playbase, a sub and 2 play 1s as part of my tv setup. The sound keeps breaking up when I’m watching tv. This seems to be even worse when someone else is browsing the internet. I have internet speeds of 60mbps so can’t see why this should be happening. Any suggestions on what I can change to stop this?

Project T1 BT

I have purchased a Project T1 BT deck and assumed it would connect via Bluetooth to my Sonos Beam and Sub wirelessly. The Bluetooth switch is on but it won’t connect. Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong or if I need a preamp?Thanks, Luke

Play1 don’t sound right(?)

Hi.I could not find any place this questions where asked,and i might have not been looking hard enough🙃. Anyhow….i got my hands on two used Play1 from different sellers. On arrival i notice that one was in exellent condition,but the otherone you could tell it have been used. A few scratches on top an over all i can tell by the colour it was a bit faded.I set them ut as stereo-pair and try adding them to the Apple Tv….no luck. I learn the hard way that this is some old speakers. Long story short,i have a single ERA 100 witch i connect to Apple Tv over Airplay,and then group the Play1 and turn off the volume on the 100.But when i start listening to the Play1’s i discover that the mor used one sounds different than the prestine one. So i’m interested to hear if anyone have experience bout anyone had to replace their elements(mid or tweeter)….cause of soundquality or if they blew.I can hear clearly that this Play1 is not blown but i can hear things in music that aint as crisp all the way

Skipping Songs

15.5 Slider Micro ticks gone

Hi Sonos,i just upgraded to 15.5 and found out that Sonos solved the slider sync issues with a very cheap way removing the micro ticks when moving the sliders. Now I need to release the slider before I get a change applied to the speaker. The only slider which still has the ticks is the volume slider. What is going on Sonos? I expect that moving a slider immediately is getting applied to the speaker like in the past. Please fix immediately!!!!!!!

Configuring a Connect with a Yamaha receiver that has two speaker zones.

Is it possible to have a single Connect attached to a Yamaha receiver that has two zones of non-Sonos speakers and set each speaker zone up as a distinct room that can be grouped or ungrouped with the Sonos app?  We originally setup this configuration about seven years ago and we were able use the Sonos app to group and ungroup the two speaker zones (each with a distinct room name).  We had to take the system apart for house repairs and when I put the system together again I can only configure one room per Connect on the receiver.  Any ideas how the system might have been originally configured?

Cinema Set Up Suggestions

So I designed a small cinema in a house I'm working on which is going to have space for an Arc front facing, 4 in wall speakers- two on each side of the cinema room filling 100% of the room and a space for rear speakers, planning on going with Sonos 5’s as rear surrounds or the Era 300s. I’m confused as to how to set them all up. The number of Amps to be used here isn't a problem. Any suggestions? Much appreciated. thank you
