Battery % missing

For nearly 2 weeks now the battery % has been missing from the Sonos app for my paired Roams . I still see the battery  but it’s so small you can’t make out what % it has. I’ve updated the app 2-3 times removed and reinstalled and even had support on chat help me update the speakers firmware . Nothing has worked . Has anyone else had this issue ?

Speakers keep disconnecting

Recently, my Sonos has been unresponsive. I have gone through all the steps of rebooting each speaker and do get them to mount in the app, but the next time I log on, they are gone. Sonos can’t find them. This has happened 3 or 4 times now. I’m super frustrated. I never had this issue before. Anyone have any ideas of how to get my system working properly again?? I have 2 Play 1, 1 Play 5, and a play bar. I’ve managed to have my TV use the play bar for sound, but the sonos app cannot see it. All the other speakers I can get working for a day and then they cannot connect again.

sky access point issue

Hi - since s2 app update a couple of weeks ago I've not been able to control my sonos system by app. I tried updating the network whilst in my home office and successfully updated my roam in there, which then let me access the system in the rest of the house. However, when I try access the system from the rest of the house, which is covered by different access points as part of the sky q mesh, the app doesn't find a system. It wants me to update the network on the sonos devices,  but doing that results in error and back to square one. I don't really want to keep running across the garden to control the system ‐ it's there a work around?

Pairing Code

Where the hell do I enter the code my iMac is giving me?  No screen on the Roam and nothing pops up in the phone app.  I recently upgraded to Sequoia and didn’t have a problem before.

Feature Request: Improving Search by Album Name

Hello! I’d like to submit a feature request that the search functionality for Apple Music in the Sonos app be improved.  Here’s the problem: Using the web app you’d like to listen to the album Exile on Main Street by The Rolling Stones. You open the app and search “Exile on Main Street” The first nine results are not the album Exile on Main Street, but instead a link to The Rolling Stones artist page, radio stations created by individual songs on the album, some other unrelated artist pages, and some individual songs.  When you click “View More” to try to find the album in full to play, the album is the very first result! This same process is very similar to the iOS app, unusable results at first, then when you click “Apple Music” the album is displayed first.  Cutting out that two step process to find an album would be a massive user improvement. Not sure if the same problem exists for Spotify, etc.

Dialogue Volume / eARC

So I’ve had my system (Arc, Era300 x2 + Gen3 sub) for a year now - thinking if I spend £2.5k on a system, it’s gonna be good right?My old Polk system for circa £600 was much better - I mean it had a remote control right? and audio and optical inputs - amazing! Oh, and Google assistant, that actually worked properly. And I could tune the speakers with actual volume buttons, to suit me! I mean, we don’t ask much right - lol.My buggest gripe with the Sonos Arc system is the awful dialogue enhancement - which does nothing. On the Polk system, I have a separeate volume to turn the human dialogue up and down to suit me.Sonos Arc system is just such a step backwards is SOOOO many ways.Anyway, the sound signal from the TV comes from optical out, with the HMDI converter.QUESTIONS:___Do I spend another £1200 +/- to upgrade the TV, so I can use the eARC output?Will this improve human dialogue?Or do I ditch the Sonos system, to one that actually works properly?Thanks,A very disappointed Sonos owne

Can’t control speakers in SONOS S2 App or do anything on it!

I’m really struggling with the Sonos app, I literally cannot do anything.  1. If I play music from Spotify and go to the Sonos app, it shows ‘No Content’ like nothing is playing.  I cannot play anything via the Sonos app.I can’t change any EQ or sub settings because it makes no difference and as soon as the app closes it resets to 0 for everything.I’ve disconnected my VPN, I’ve rebooted my device, I’ve reset the app, I’ve deleted and redownlaoded the app. I’ve done a power down of the whole house for 1min! Still nothing works via the app!my device is a 15 pro and my devices are ERA 100 (x2), Gen 1 Beam, Sub Mini, PLAY:1, SYMFONISK (x2) and ROAM (x2).I thought this was supposed to be a premium brand ?

spotify and youtube connection issues

I can’t get in touch with the customer support because I end up in a waiting line for over 50 minutes. A lot of problems since a while with my whole sonos system:Spotify shows it plays the song although the speaker doesn’t make a sound. if i play rewind it sometimes works;I choose song A in playlist A and then sonos decides to delay and play song B or C in playlist A for some random reason. If i try to replay the song that sometimes fixes the problem;If i choose a youtube video and connect my beam to my sonos play 5 to play it together, one of the speakers just decides to pauze the music for 0,5 second every 20 secondes which is freaking annoying.  I don’t like my sonos system at all anymore… I live in a small apartment, everything is extremely close to the router, no extenders. Everyone else who wants to connect has the same issues as me. So my phone is not the problem. I’ve never had issues until the last 3 months now.Can someone help me out

Dates in BBC Sounds

After being forced to use the new app (android), at some point there has been a change which is causing all podcast and episode broadcast dates to show as 1 Jan 1000000000. Is this an issue on the side of Sonos or the BBC?Is there a fix known for this? Any help would be useful as its really frustrating not knowing which episodes I have listened to or not without playing through the last few to find out where I am!

Dialogue Issues with the Arc Ultra?

With just the bar, I’m noticing a consistent issue with dialogue being too quiet at lower volumes. For example, in Dune, when Zendaya’s character speaks in the opening scene, her voice is almost drowned out unless I crank the volume up. But when I do that, the rest of the sounds become way too loud for my room. At a comfortable level, the scene with Paul & Jessica at the beginning of the movie is inaudible. Similarly, in Gravity, I had to raise the volume significantly to make the voices, especially distant ones like when George Clooney is floating around in the beginning, clear enough to hear, but then the other sounds became overwhelming. Watching The Dark Knight Rises, the dialogue volume discrepancy is worse than with my TV speakers. For comparison, my Bose Ultra soundbar doesn’t have this problem. All reviews and user comments are saying the dialogue on the Arc Ultra is much improved and in some cases overwhelming but I don’t really see this being the case even with the Speech

Sonos speakers randomly dropping out then Sonos stopping

Is Sonos working on an update to fix these random drops?  I’ve had Sonos for over 12 years and upgraded all speakers when we moved about 3 years ago. I’ve always been such a Sonos advocate but I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. What is being done to correct these issues?  This is not a WiFi issue and it is not a latency issue, it is a Sonos latest app update issue that is wrecking the value of the whole system. I’ve been on with Sonos support for over 1.5 hours and they basically gave up. Please help!

Metadata limit

Is there a way to determine if you’ve hit the metadata limit?  I am only at 35K songs but do have a fair number of classical music which apparently has a lot of metadata.  Is there a way to only update certain songs/playlists/genres so I skip the classical?

Dual subs on AMP, settings question?

Hi,Running dual subs (one Gen 3 and one Gen 4), and noticed in the app it gives me only one control for both subs.  Meaning…..the crossover setting is there only once, and the phase setting is there only once. So...why wouldnt I be given the ability to set crossovers differently?  and are both subs phased the same?  wouldnt you want to have the phased opposite for best impact? I am no expert, and am open to all feedback. Thinking I might add a second AMP so I can control my second sub the way I want.  Does that make sense? TIA Moderator edit: Changed “One Gen 3 and one Sub 4” to “one Gen 3 and one Gen 4” for clarity.
