Get help and assistance with your Sonos system

I have a multi-zone Creston system with 2 Denon Amps that I’m looking to convert to Sonos.  I’m assuming i can connect to all my wired speakers and TV’s but what Sonos device(s) do i need to tie them all together (Port or other)?  How many do I need if I’m trying to establish 5 different zones?  Thank you for your insights.  Adam

I was having issues with speakers dropping from my system. When I reset them and tried to re-add them, they consistently said they could not connect to my Wifi. I tried restarting my router, factory resetting my speakers (repeatedly), connecting with an Ethernet cable (which worked but only as long as it stayed wired, which wasn’t a viable solution). I reset my app, deleted and reinstalled my app. Upgraded my system… none of it worked. The only speakers that would connect were my old Sonos Ones—which led me to my Wifi frequencies. My router has 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, and they are not entirely separate (you can’t turn one off and not the other). My phone automatically connects to the ‘best channel available’ which is probably the 5Ghz, and the Sonos speakers only seem to use that bandwidth for interspeaker communication.Ultimately I did what I had resisted and gave each a unique SSID and password (sub-optimal, as it makes it so my network isn’t dynamically switchable). I was able to do this i

Why has my Sonos app lost connection to my speakers?Issue:My device (iPhone 16 Pro) app “cannot find product/speakers on this network” Not possible the reconfigure the speakers in app, as the app constantly demands new login as “system owner” (even after I’ve already logged in several times) Not possible to stream music from device to speakersTried fixes:Updated the app to newest version (check) Reset all the speakers (check) Reset the network router (check) “Connected” two (out of 3) speakers to the same network as device (check) Still cannot find the speakers on the network, therefor not possible to set them up Logged on (app and desktop) as system owner several times

I'm having trouble to connect my zp90 to my Sonos setup/network. I have the S1 app and have a play:5(gen1) connected. I used to have my own soundsystem connected with the zp90, but moving some parts I can't seem to get the zp90 online again. I'm following the instructions on the S1 app but can't seem to find the device, even if connected to the router with LAN cable. The zp90 just keeps blinking very fast white light. What am I missing? How to set up the zp90 these days? 

I dont see the new contextual Play-Button after Update App and System. 

Since 2014, you have gone from bad to worse. While your sound remains great (who’s isn’t?), your lackluster software upgrades / support have been a perpetual joke. How are you still competing with superior vendors, one might ask?  I’ll leave that to others to discover.

for years I used the apple music app on phone/mac/apple tv. I find the interface intuitive. If I search for an artist, it shows that artist with the option to navigate to albums, songs, "artist essentials" ect. In sonos app, I don't get that. If I search for an artist, the results are just mashed together. It makes exploring the work of an artist almost impossible. For reasons unclear to me, the interface through the sonos app is different for the worse. Im I missing something?

I have 2 x Generation 1 Sonos Roams. One white and one black.I changed my WiFi Router a month ago and had to reconnect all my Sonos kit.For some reason I have never been able to reconnect the Black Roam to my WiFi. The White Roam works fine.I noticed that the "Find Missing Speakers" tool has disappeared from the App, and when  I used "Add New Speakers" feature it doesn't find my Black Roam.I can still use it as a Bluetooth speaker and I can transfer music across from any home speaker to the black Roam as per the switch feature. I suspect my black Roam is missing an essential update because I know in past the Speakers have gone missing when they aren't updated. However since I have a new Router I am unable to update the Roam speaker. Help?

I can only connect our classic Hub via Ethernet cable + Play:3 speakers / or my Playbar via cable to Router – yet not both in the S2 app. Any suggestions how to fix this?

I understand sonos does not support DTS:X or DTS-HD Master.  What I am trying to wrap my head around is: if the DTS:X or DTS-HD Master signal is “passed through” my tv or device, does sonos 1. play it as full dtsx/dts-hd, or 2 convert it to pcm and discard height info, or 3. not play it at all…??? Also, if I route it through an apple tv and it converts it to pcm,  does sonos then play that (without the height data?Sorry for being a noob...

Since I changed my internet provider, my Sonos 5 won't play unless connected with an Ethernet cable. My modem is far from where I want to place the speaker. What can I do? 

Dear Sonos Team,When stereo PCM is sent over HDMI, the Arc forces playback through the front channels only. Sonos frames this as “purism,” but it actually blocks creative intent and creates inconsistency: Artists’ intent is restricted. If a stereo track is designed to fill the room, Sonos prevents rears from engaging. Other brands allow “All Channel Stereo.” Inconsistent behaviour. The Arc mirrors stereo to surrounds in music mode (AirPlay, Spotify Connect), but forbids it over HDMI. There is no technical or licensing reason — simple channel duplication costs nothing. Purism becomes interference. By enforcing silence in rears, Sonos isn’t respecting the mix, it’s imposing a design choice that neither creators nor customers asked for. It’s like buying a 4K TV, but when you watch HD content the manufacturer only lights up the centre part of the screen, leaving black bars around the edges, saying “we’re respecting the director’s intent.”Unless there is a clear, rational justification,

Playbar. I have lost my cables. Do I need optical Toslink cable or the adaptor?

I updated to the latest and I am not seeing the new play button functionality. It still behaves like it did before this update. Is this a slow roll out?

I have a Play 1 and Play 3 that no longer work.  Can I get them serviced?  They are out of warranty.

Hello ,Can anyone help me with some tips,:)I have 2 burned capacitors c286 and c285 ,does anyone know what values are those and what have caised the issue? 

I have a Sonos Beam Gen 1 speaker and play music through it from my Sonos 1 app. Recently a favourite station of mine (TMM 1) from TuneIn only plays the advert but then not the music. I cann play the same station from TuneIn through my UE Boom speaker. Any thoughts?

Hi guys. I have just purchased my Sonos Move 2.Im going to set the Trueplay up later when my daughter arrives home, as she has an iPhone whereas I'm Android.If I choose a room, say sitting room, do the Trueplay calibration and save. I then move to the kitchen, opt for kitchen on the list of rooms, do the Trueplay calibration in the kitchen and save, when I next use it and choose kitchen on the Sonos, will it automatically use the Trueplay settings for that room that were originally saved? 

Hello everyone,This is my first time posting in the community—I hope I can explain my issue clearly. I've been using Sonos for a couple of years and I love it, but for the past week, I've been facing a problem I just can't solve.My setup: 1 Sonos Beam (Gen 2) connected to the TV 2 Sonos One SL as rear speakers Router: TP-Link Archer C7 My phone: Samsung Galaxy S22 with the latest version of Android The problem:The Sonos app on my Android phone suddenly can't find any of my speakers. It shows the message "Unable to connect to Sonos." The strange thing is that if a friend comes over, their iPhone connects without any problems and can control the entire system. The music continues playing if started from their phone, but I can't do anything from mine.What I've already tried, with no success: Restarting the router and waiting 5 minutes Unplugging and replugging all Sonos speakers Uninstalling and reinstalling the Sonos app on my Android phone Clearing the app’s cache and data

Hi. Can you guys recommend sturdy wall mounts that physically grab the speakers firmly as the ones I bought for my four Play1’s and they came dangerously loose within weeks in fact one fell and was saved by the mains cable. Problem is they rely on the bolt hole in the speaker that seems to be made from cheese. My brackets don’t have any branding on but will try and upload a pic just in case anyone else is tempted to follow my foolish act. Sorry the image won’t upload 

This has got to be one of the sickest jokes ever.. One year after the dreadful Sonos update, I noticed that I could finally edit and create new sonos playlists again. However after editing some of my old playlists, and creating a few new ones I now receive an error when opening these playlists saying that "the content is not available". This doesn't make any sense; some of the lists I just created, so the music is obviously still available. I have no problems with my WiFi, my system is up-to-date, and there doesn't seem to be a glitch either as I still can't access the playlists after closing/opening the sonos app multiple times. So everything signs to the sonos app still not working as it should be.Is anyone else experiencing smth similar? Right now creating playlists feels like playing Russian roulette; you could spend hours creating them, and who knows if you can still access them seconds later..  

I know this is a long shot, but is there any chance that Sonos could develop a simple app for WearOS? It wouldn’t even have to be full featured: simple play/pause/ffwd/rew controls would be great.We had a simulacrum of this with the old Sonos app, which correctly registered as a media player with Android so it could be controlled from the notification shade and the lockscreen, which meant it could also be controlled by the watch, but this has been gone ever since the new app came out.  

I am in need of help setting up an undercover patio speakers and tv. My home is being built right now and now is the time to run the wires. If I am understand correctly, I can order an AMP and Outdoor Speaker set. Wire the speakers to the AMP and store the AMP inside while the speakers are attached to the outside of my home. Then I want to connect a BEAM and hardwire it to the TV and also connect it wirelessly to the AMP. Will this work as I described and work seamlessly with the TV audio?Do I need to order specific outdoor speakers? I was sold a pair of 300 but I don’t believe these to be correct now. I am planning to use a Sylvox Outdoor TV. Will the BEAM be ok undercover outside? No rain will be able to get to it but there could be dust as the home is being built on 7 acres. Thanks for any help and guidance.  I have included an image as to how I think it works.   Sorry I advance as this is all new to me.  Any specific products you recommend I would appreciate links to order directly
