Unable to link Sonos One speakers to new Virgin Media router

Having upgraded my Vigin media router to get 1GB my Sonos one speakers won’t reconnect to the Wi-Fi. I have. Followed usual guidance but no joy. Is this something to do with 2.4 vs bandwidth? Hoping there’s  a simple solution as fair to say I’m not very technical! Any help much appreciated.

Apple play code

Suddenly, when connecting Sonos one speaker to iPhone, I get request to provide Airplay code. I don’t have Apple TV nor have Airplay set up with a code. Not sure why it started asking for this or where the code may be.

Some Sirius XM channels will play, some say "Unable to Play the Selected Item"?

I noticed about a year ago this was happening for multiple people, but the topic was closed.  So -- it’s still happening for me.  I reauthorize SiriusXM and it seems to work for a day or two, but then fails again.  It’s not always the same channels either.   Any update on this?

Help Needed: Sonos Arc Not Syncing with Orei UHD48-EX230-K HDMI Switcher

Hello everyone,I recently upgraded from an Orei UHDS-202 HDMI switcher to an Orei UHD48-EX230-K, and I'm experiencing issues with syncing my Sonos Arc sound bar with my main LG TV. Previously, the audio setup worked perfectly with the Orei UHDS-202, but now, I can no longer get the Sonos connection to appear on my LG TV. Here’s my current setup:- **Devices Connected**: TV box, Amazon Fire Stick, and PS5, all connected via HDMI.- **Outputs**: Two TVs connected.- **Soundbar**: Sonos Arc, which used to connect through HDMI ARC via the old switcher.With the new Orei UHD48-EX230-K, the sound bar isn’t recognized by my LG TV anymore. I’ve tried checking the HDMI ARC/eARC settings on my TV and ensuring all cables are high-speed and properly connected, but nothing has worked so far.Has anyone faced a similar issue or does anyone have insights on how to resolve this? Is there a specific configuration for the Orei UHD48-EX230-K that supports audio transmission more effectively?Thank you in advan

to connect sonos speaker with ios apps

Yesterday, I lost one symphonics speaker inside my  home network. And during to try configuration this speaker, I lost all Sonos  Speakers (7). My phone is an iPhone 13 with the last update. This my configAfter many hours and chat with someone on phone  and she gave me advice to separate the WiFi  frequency off the Internet box, that I did, I were llocked and with no possibility to reinstall the configuration. I should use Android phone and to iinstall the configure. After 3 hours, it's working good a new. But my topic is just to inform the problem with the apps who stay lock with old configure and couldn't install correctly the configuration, because it's search old system and can not arrive to associate speakers. Impossible to erase system and to reinstall a new, even on website. To try to reset on factory, don't change anything. When cut the power of the speakers, the apps search to install it again.After to have the config back, I try a new to reinstall on an ios, but nothing works

era 300 volume level for music listening

hey everyone. i got myself a refurbished era 300. it came with a good discount and considering the 100 days return policy, i wanted to give it a shot. i love it overall! i was just curious about one thing. I only have 1 unit (not stereo) and i think music gets loud and room filling after 50 percent more like 65-70 range. is that normal? i guess the only reason i ask this silly question is my home theatre setup which is beam gen2, sub mini and 2x era100’s get very very loud. it’s probably a output total watt kind of thing but i wanted to check. thanks

macOS controller in update loop (16.1)

Having an issue with the macOS Controller on my M1 MacBook Pro since the 16.1.1 install a few weeks back.Whenever I load the controller it says ‘We need to get Sonos running on the latest software. Choose Check for Updated to get started.’I press Check and it comes up with ‘No update required. Your Sonos system is up-to-date.’I have deleted the app and reinstalled. I then deep-deleted the app (from ~Library etc) and reinstalled. Same issue.The app and updater has permissions to update under Security > Privacy etc.If I press ‘Continue using the SONOS app’ it then goes to searching and then puts me in a similar loop which is‘Some of your products aren’t registered to your Sonos account. Let’s register them now so you can use them’.I log-in and it goes back to ‘No update required.Can anyone suggest what to do now? I’ve tried ‘Reset App’ etc too.thanks

Feature Request -DTS decoding for discs with Master Audio, DTS:X, and DTS:HD

How do I make a feature request? I love how great my surround setup sounds with Dolby Atmos, but it’s really disappointing not to have DTS decoding for discs with Master Audio, DTS:X, and DTS:HD.  I assume this is just a licensing cost decision but for the premium we pay for Sonos, I’d expect it to be supported (and did when I purchased).  Thanks

Sonos Amp and Sonos One very quiet

Hello there  I have a Sonos Amp and a number of Sonos Ones around the house. Whenever we play records in the house the volume on the Soho One is very quiet, relatively. By which I mean if you turn the volume way up it sounds fine, but then anything else played is super loud, and needs to be dialled back.  This happens across all speakers and there are no apparent issues with the setup, cables and connections are all fine. The record player is a Audi-technical and has never given me issues  Has anyone encountered this? Is this expected and just part of the setup, or is this something that with further investigations can be amended  Thanks in advance for any assistance

Sonos App Bass & Treble Menu

It would be cool if the sub menu access for settings/bass/treble/balance/ & loudness was placed to the left empty spot next to previous track button eliminating the need to tap on the volume. Don’t know if it’s possible but it would be cool to see it in a future update.

One of my two Sub always gets disconnected

I am a long term customer of Sonos. Currently I own more than 20 devices. In my home theater I have an Arc, two 300's, and two Subs, one of them is a Gen 1 and the other Sub is Gen 3. My Gen 1 Sub shows as "Not connected", and for a couple of years now… I tried resetting many times, changing positions, etc. I don't know what else to do. Any recommendations?
