I applied the latest update on April 9, 2025. The sleep timer is yet again missing. Moderator edit: Removed picture containing Sonos ID and no useful info.

I’m watching a movie on Plex which shows it’s Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 and I’m sure it’s only stereo and the same thing watching YouTube videos. I'm sure those are also stereo. I’m wondering if I have a setting messed up in my App. Any ideas?

I’m building a new house and wife doesn’t want a soundbar near the frame tv. (She wants a clean  mantle for decorations..etc.    Would 6 In-Ceiling 8” Speakers by Sonos and Sonance wired to a SONOS AMP (inside built-in near TV) work?  I figured the TV’s eARC HDMI to AMP and phantom center with Trueplay would make the set up work.  I would have three speakers as left channel and three as right channel and the AMP set to mono.    No need for a crazy set up since we have a media room.  Living room would be for casual TV watching and sports.   Thanks in advance!  

Hello, This may be a bit bespoke, but I’ve brought my two old Play:5s (recently upgraded home) to the office and I want to make a wired setup through the ethernet (using the S1 app). As you know, I cannot do the initial setup through the company WiFi because Sonos will not work through wireless that requires a corporate login/password to connect. I swear I had this working several months ago, but I’ve moved offices and can’t get it working again. I know that I can create a hotspot on my computer run a Sonos network off that, but then how do I switch the connection to ethernet only? When I try connecting the ethernet to the Sonos and cut the hotspot the connection fails. I’ve talked to IT and they have no problem with me using the Sonos and they say there is nothing specific they are doing through the network to stop the connection so long as I can get it set up myself. They even gave me a gigabit switch they had laying around to run ethernet to both speakers. Is there no way to just pl

When is it planned to add support for RadioTunes/DI or customURL in S2? I am not referring to TuneIn - I don’t want to use another service to use another service, I want to use, directly, the URLs that RadioTunes offers me, although a proper integration would be better.

I have (2) move 2’s and one of them keeps losing connection. I have tried rebooting, changing to stereo, changing devices, changing channel. I would blame it on a connection issue but only one of them keeps doing it. I have 4 other sobos speakers that work perfectly fine as wellAny suggestions would be greatI’ve done all of the obvious Thanks

I have a somewhat large music library of about 40000 tracks on a networked drive. Since May 2024 I have struggled to play segments of this library, on shuffle, using any combination of apps available to me. I have mobile (Android), desktop (Windows) and web.I don’t think I need to go into the performance of the mobile app (updated to most recent version).The desktop app, which I have been using as a failsafe since the library fix last fall, is finicky and has decided it wants to do a continuous loop of asking to update the firmware although I am on the latest version. When I say yes to updating it tells me I am updated already. I have to exit and re-open multiple times to get it to (re-)work correctly (often while music has already started playing).The web app currently works the best of the three for basic music functioning (play, forward, back, volume, skipping) BUT then the queue is useless as it does not keep up with what is currently playing - there is no tracking of where you are

Hi! Recently picked up the sonos ace and I’ve noticed some flaws….A really cool feature of the sonos ace ANC is how it turns off in low noise environments to reduce white noise. This is a great feature I think because I hate the white noise. However when the ANC kicks in, it sometimes makes a “pop” sound that can get a bit annoying. Is this normal for the headset? I notice it the most when I’m on my PC clicking the mouse, Also I’ve noticed a fair amount of clicking/poping sounds when moving around, the noises come from the hinge system as when I press on the headband the noises disappear. Very noticeable when running on a thread mil. Is this normal too?Both these issues are identical on both ears, which makes me think that it’s normal, just want to check if others have experienced the same :)Thanks for reading.

Trying to connect a Roam 2 to my tplink vr1600v without any luck.  No settings changed on the router, just the standard WPA/WPA personal security in 802.11b/g/n mixed mode. Has anyone had any luck doing this?  

I know that the Sonos does not want to give any support for Tunein therefore I’ve decided to try with SonosRadio, for which I hope Sonos IS RESPONSABLE of the development.But the problem is always the same. I try to listen to italian Radio24 station, but when it tries to connect to the streem it says “welcome to tunein” 😶. after that silence and then the same loop “welcome to tunein”.To find the radio go to “sonos radio” > explore radio > by place > Europe > Italy > Lombardia > Milano > Radio 24The diagnostic nuber is: **********.BTW, if I connect with Tunein app or the radio24 app, connected to the same wifi as my sonos beam, the streams work without any problem.Moderator edit: recorded and removed diagnostics number, combined posts.

I am trying to set up my new arc ultra, but I’m not able to get it to find my Play 5 GEN 2 speakers to use as my surround speakers.  I have tried resetting all the speakers and that didn’t work.  Can someone help me please.  

How do you hook your sonos beam bluetooth two a samsung s24  

I just updated to the latest app (80.18.27) and I’m no longer able to set a sleep timer when listening to content from Audible. The … button in the bottom right of the player screen is no longer showing. Listening to local library content, or other services (tested with BBC Sounds and Sonos Radio) the … button is shown on the player screen and it is possible to set a sleep timer.  

Why can’t we swap using a button on the headphones? It is an inconvenience to go find my phone, scroll to the Sonos app, wait for it to open and load, select the headphones, then push the swap button. Ridiculous. This is all not to mention that it is absurd that they created these and you can’t listen to them at the same time the Arc is playing. They should integrate into the Sonos WiFi Network and sync audio like any other Sonos device. We don’t need just another Bluetooth headphone device that looks like AirPod Max

Just started with Sonos - took me hours to realise that Bluetooth stops on the ERA100’s when wifi was used to set up the surround sound system.  Surround sound is my main use of the system and I’m very happy with that, but on occasions would like to play music held on my android phone - so far my hours have fiddling & resetting have only given me one or the other.  Are there any simply ways to switch between surround sound from TV to music from the phone?

I play a continuous three-hour white noise track in my bedroom 24/7 (well, ideally). The track is by itself, no playlists, and the repeat is set to single track. After it repeats a couple of times, Sonos changes the track to anything else in my Spotify account (which is usually tech house and as you can see is pretty much the opposite of what I want to listen while sleeping).I have reseted all my Sonos devices, the router, the network in general, and nothing. I have even disconnected my Spotify account and nothing. I have tried playing the track directly from Sonos and directly from Spotify. Same thing. Oh, and I pay for Spotify.Has anybody experienced this? Or maybe somebody can suggest something? Anything…? I keep waking up at 4ish am with techno music thumping my walls. Thanks!

Hi allOur current set up for our Living room TV where the family watches anything from daily news to movie nights uses the following Sonos products: Playbar + Sub (Gen 2) + Amp (wired to 2 in-ceiling rear speakers)     The products are obviously from a while back and wondered when choosing from the “Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc Ultra”would upgrading to the Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc Ultra be a significantly recognised difference (e.g. kids movie nights); or would a single item provide a big enough improvement i.e. Arc Ultra OR Sub 4 OR Era 300 (pair);  any other thoughts / adviceThe only reason I am considering an upgrade is because we have a Play5 Gen1 in our system which is not compatible with the Sonos S2 app and we can get a discount if we upgrade.  Saying that the discount does not expire so there is no rush.  Thank you in advance for any thoughts / advice :) 

Hi,  i have a setup with an Sonos amp as front speakers, two ERA100 as rears and a sub mini as subwoofer.I want to config the sound to fit best for my specific room. If I understand it right it have to use true play to get the nearly best result. But as soon as I assign the ERAs and the sub to the amp in one room as a surround set the button for true play disappears.  Could you guys give me any advice how to fix this?

My wife likes to watch TV at a much lower volume than I do. Due to my hearing loss, I bought the Sonos Ace headphones so that I can watch TV at a higher volume with her while using the Sonos Arc Ultra.  Before purchasing Ace headphones, I asked my dealer this specific question.  The tech responded positively saying that both the Ace and the Arc Ultra can simultaneously play the TV sound.  After installing the Ace headphones, my dealer verified that Ace & Ultra Arc will not play sound at the same time.  This is the main reason I bought the Sonos Ace headphones.I also bought a Move 2 wireless speaker. The Move 2 has the ability to play simultaneously with any sound group (Port, Ultra Arc etc.).  It would seem that the same simultaneous capability of the Move 2 could be applied to Ace Headphones as well.Looking forward to a quick feature update from Sonos on this issue so I can begin using my Ace Headphones as intended.Thank you!

Hello, I have a Sonos beam 2 connected to TV arc and also wired to ethernet as the basis of my sonos system for the house. I have some great Bose speakers that are no longer being used, but was wondering if sonos AMP would allow me to wirelessly connect these speakers as rear surround speakers (so beam 2 remains front L/R and the amp speaker rear L/R for surround). This seems a basic question - but I have read so many different things on line saying the AMP has to be connedted to TV and arc - it's not clear to a nuffy like me. Dont want to purchase if the above is not possible. 

Both the alarm screen as well as the "enter share info" modal prompt for confirmation when navigating back regardless of whether any changes have been made in the first place, as well as when the "save" button was actually pressed right before.This is independent of how back navigation is invoked (back button on modal, close button on modal, back swipe gesture). 

i have a problem that my acr ultra is turning the mic on and off by it self when i play music and i can’t turn it on or off again i the app but i can do it on the arc. i have try to reboot it but it didn’t stop the problem. what to do????

My sonos ace swap with sonos arc ultra doesn’t work.I’ve tried several time to uninstall and configure it using the app, but it doesn’t work!!!Anyone can help me?
