Turning off the Sound Check - a difference in the sound quality - Airplay with Apple Music

Hello. Maybe this can be useful for more people using Apple Music lossless via Airplay 2. I listen to my music with Sound check > ON - all the time, but I noticed that the sound from Apple Music is not so clear as the sound from Tidal integration in the Sonos app. By clear, I mean not so bright...

Spotify skips to next song or stops playing, other sources work just fine meanwhile

The past couple of months when playing music from Spotify on any of the sonos speakers the music skips to the next song or stops playing at random points. It can be after 2 songs or half a day. The controller reports connection to spotify lost. Sometimes i can immediately click play again and it sta...

Sonos Radio HD: Is It As Good or Better Than Stingray Music?

I wasn’t aware of Sonos Radio HD until this last week. Noticing that they offered a free 30 day trial, I was going to activate it and try it out but decided against it after I read the minimal feature list and couldn’t determine if it had the features I wanted or not. In my opinion, if you want to l...

Pocketcasts - Error, Unable to play, song not encoded properly or the connection was lost

Has anyone else seen this error? The encoded error as well as the lost connection error are persistent & I have tried changing network channels, I have tried rebooting the system and I have tried uninstalling the service and adding it again. The error codes persist despite these troubleshooting...

Roam and Spatial Audio

Hi everyone,I was trying to check whether the newly-introduced Spatial Audio (Dolby Atmos?) would work on my Roam via my iPhone 12 (bluetooth) or not, and it was buggy (i.e., music did not start, or just play a few seconds, perhaps loading?). Beyond that, I also had streaming issues with what I beli...

will dolby atmos be available through apple music without apple tv?

Apple Music is now offering dolby atmos sound. Will this sound be available when you have added the Apple Music service in the Sonos app, or is it only available through an Apple TV device?

Sonos Radio HD subscription - Too many "This is Sonos Radio" interruptions

I get that you’re proud of the commercial-free Sonos Radio HD and you want people to know about it, but in just a day of activating my subscription and listening to it, I’ve noticed the “This is Sonos” and “You're listening to <station name>” announcement interruption an excessive number of ti...

Dolby Atmos on Apple Music with Apple TV 4K & Sonos Arc

Spatial Audio/Dolby Atmos music is now available on Apple Music through the Apple TV 4K. It’s exciting to see more streaming services adopt these higher resolution audio formats.To play Atmos music through the Arc, be sure to have a TV with HDMI eARC or an HDFury Arcana and tvOS 14.6 installed. On t...

320kbps BBC Radio on Sonos?

Hi all,I’ve seen a number of threads around this (quite old) but can’t figure it out.Is there a way of adding 320kbps streams of BBC Radio stations on to Sonos?I assume the standard TuneIN and Sonos Radio streams are all at 128kbps?Thanks!

Can't get Proton Radio to work

I’ve been listening to Proton Radio via TuneIn for a couple of years, without problems. But it has stopped working. The station is still operating, and I can stream directly from the website via my MacBook and Airplay. But I’d rather stream directly to my Sonos system. I already tried “Add Radio Sta...

Sonos problems generating paths to files in my NAS for some songs with non-ASCII characters in name

I have a Sonos Move, One SL, and Port and a Brennan B2 music server with my CD collection that has been working perfectly for almost a year. However, three days ago I noticed that some songs can not be found by my Sonos in the Brennan server. The most puzzling thing is that the “trouble” songs play...

Lossless audio formats and Dolby Atmos in S2 Apple Music

Hi,Does the S2 application will support Dolby Atmos and lossless audio format I use Apple Music in this application. At the moment it is possible only by AirPlay 2. I'd like to start the S2 application to choose Apple Music and listen to lossless audio formats :)GreetingsRaf

Imported Playlist limits

I don’t have 1000 playlists but i have enough where Sonos cuts me off at the letter U. Why are there limits? Playlists are how i organize my music. I don’t want to delete any. It would at least be helpful if I could delete some from being imported to Sonos. At least that would help. Is that...

Now on Deezer Family HiFi... no FLAC playback in Sonos S2 app

Hi there,I just got my regular Deezer family plan upgraded to the new Family Hifi plan they offer. So… I have an issue within the Sonos S2 App. It seems that the songs the app pulls from Deezer service aren’t played in FLAC format but in Mp3 only.When I play a song within Deezer app, everything play...

Smooth Jazz on Sonos Radio is not smooth jazz

Don’t know their algorithms, but smooth jazz is not smooth jazz. Sonos thinks it is R & B the ultimate mishmash, Black Worship, etc. Ridiculous, and I’m supposed to pay to skip a song?

ITunes have player -- Sonos as speakers

iTunes Last Played and Play counts are important to me. I understand those functions don’t work using the Sonos player. Is it possible to play music via iTunes on my Mac using the Sonos speakers without using the Sonos player? I know I can do that via Airplay on my iPhone -- but that also does not c...

Sonos Arc + Dolby Atmos from streaming content (Apple Music & Amazon Music)

Hey All, Apple Music & Amazon Music is about to support Dolby Atmos, does anyone know if playback through the Sonos app will allow for Dolby Atmos content or is it just via HDMI?

Search order

How do I get search to start with the services I care about? I have a bunch of services integrated into my Sonos. The one that does the simplest thing I usually want--play the song--always comes last. It’s Tidal, and I’m assuming Sonos defaults to alphabetical order by service name or something. Wit...

Playing an input from one sonos amp to the rest of the system

Hi all - I currently have a Sonos amp which is powering two sonance outdoor speakers. Also have an outdoor TV and two other speakers in a location which is to far to connect to my current sonos amp. I am curious if I am able to install a Sonos amp near the tv location allowing the tv to then play...
