Sub Mini Popping randomly

Hi All,

 

Last week I received a Refurbished Sub Mini from Sonos (ordered directly from Sonos). This was added to my current Sonos Beam 2 + 2x Sonos Era 100s setup.

Within minutes of getting it all configured, I noticed a deep popping noise coming from the Sub. This occurs randomly (I have got a couple of videos), but I’d say on average once every 5 minutes. It doesn’t seem to correlate to any particular music or sound and occurs via TV connection, AirPlay and even when the Sub is not playing any sound (but still connected and on).

 

I have done all the usual troubleshooting attempts, such as;

Changing Network Channel

Disabling 5GHZ on the router (using only 2.4GHZ)

Hard wired the Sonos Beam 2 via ethernet to ensure the Beam and Sub are connected via SonosNet (WM0)

Turned off multiple times via plug

Removed from Sonos app and reinstalled

Changed Sub placement

Reset all EQ setting etc

 

Despite trying all of the above, the annoying popping noise continues.

Before I return the Sub Mini, are there any further suggestions I can try?

 

Cheers

Interestingly, having downloaded the update today via Sonos App, all popping has stopped thus far (about 3 hours of listening).

Wait for the popping, submit a diagnostic, CALL Sonos. 

You still may need it replaced but getting them the diagnostic can save you time and effort.
