I learned today that if I want the Sonos app to access the local Apple music library stored on my MacBook Pro, I will need to disable SMBv1 on my MBP.  I believe, SMB is a fundamental part of the Mac O/S and its ability to communicate with servers. And perhaps it is used by other apps in ways I am unaware of. My question is, what, if any, is the adverse effect of disabling SMBv1?  BTW, I have read in other threads on here that Sonos may have it’s knickers in a knot over something (weak security via SMBv1) that has never happened.Rant: the new Sonos app bites the big you know what … the rollout is bush league. They must have a bunch first graders running their application team. 

Has anyone been able to complete an Advanced Shipment replacement order recently? After spending a few weeks back and forth with technical support I was finally issued an RO number but unfortunetly every time I put in my payment info I get an error “Authentication Failed - Please make sure entered credit card info is correct”. I have tried different browsers, a mobile device and four different credit cards all of which produce the same result. I called customer service yesterday and they just suggested a standard replacement but since I dont have the original packaging (and the arc is not your usual box size) I dont want to risk shipping it without the proper packaging.

Hi allhope you can help.  Since the new Sonos app update ( May’24) I seem to have lost the ability to play all  “top tracks” from an artist search. (Tidal)   The Sonos App does not now create a que of the songs it will only play one and you have to manually select your next choice rather than it play all the top tracks one after the other ?

@Mike R HI see the recap - understand you’ll be under time pressure. Appreciate you have put up a post.  Given that there wasn’t really much in the way of substantive answers. Will you be putting together a list of all the actual questions? i.e. the majority, unanswered. Whereby Tucker, as product manager can work his way through them and give actual definitive answers.I think it reasonable. Simply saying feedback has been passed to the teams isn’t going to cut it at this point.       

Morning anyone else having issues when updating the new app you lose all your settings and each time have to delete the app then add the app again. And they appear back again. But I have to do that every day which is a right pain. I am guessing the new app update which was released last week has come with a bug. Sonos should left the old version app as it was. Ever since the new app it’s created a s*** storm. I know this issue is minor compared to others but such a pain in the arse 

Hi.Any idea why emails I get from Sonos are in Dutch?Both langiage and address on Sonos profile is set to English / United Kingdom.ThanksJames

Someone has registered their email to my Sonos and I cant register it back to my details

Bonjour je voudrai savoir ce que c’est une facture douanière car je doit renvoyer ma Playbar et il me demander 3 copie de la facture douanière. Cordialement  Moderator Edit: Google Translate-Hello, I would like to know what a customs invoice is because I have to return my Playbar and it asks me for 3 copies of the customs invoice. Sincerely

Hi all,I am getting married in August and the venue is fitted out with a 'state of the art'sonos system (a bunch of p1's). A few weeks ago we did another visit to the venue to get some measurement and to check theat the system works. I am making a 5+ hour mix to play (offline / local library) at the reception and unfortunately had a bunch of problems.The system is driven by an ipad that sits at the entry table. However as I am awanting to play off my phone I attempted to connect to the network. This wasnt working until some googling resulted in resetting the system. This got me connected (note i am Androrid)Finally in the app, there was a section under the streaming services that stated local library (if i recall corrrectly) which was impossible to navigate. There was no search function.I then spend an 1.5 hrs on the phone with sonos help who teamshared with my computer, changed a bunch of sharing options and wrote a list of instrructions so i can play this via my laptop (macbook pro)

Is anyone else having this problem? Apple Music seems to be having a problem with the new app. I first noticed parts of the songs playing were missing (like no vocal), and now it won’t play at all.i tried removing and reconnecting Apple Music and it hasn’t helped.is this only me?

The new update has impacted my speakers connectivity and removed playlist capability which really impacted me. I am thinking of using a third-party for my speakers now. Does anyone have any recommendations? 

I moved to SonoPhone on IOS. My playlists show and actually work. Interestingly, after loading the playlist on SonoPhone, I can then switch to the new Sonos app and the playlist will be in the cue (and play) but won’t show as a playlist option. And, unfortunately, in the new Sonos app, I can’t find any way to save the playlist.

Man! I used to absolutely love my Sonos system. I have multiple devices era 300, two arc’s, an amp, bunch of gen 2 play 5s. I loved being able to wake up in the morning to a playlist, a great way to start my day. I didn’t even need to look at the clock, I knew what time it was by the song. I could save and edit my playlists. It was a fracking digital jukebox, what I dreamed of as a kid.  NOW? I have phantom alarms. My playlist alarm starts at regular time, then four minutes later another alarm a Sonos chime goes off. Then on the weekends two alarms go off one at 07:20 and one at 08:20. I can’t control these alarms. It is ridiculous. I am glad that Sonos has added back being able to add to queue and end of queue but the alarm is a fracking nightmare. Can’t believe this was not a top priority.  I used to love my Sonos system, I recommended Sonos to any music lover I met. Heck! I even bought three speakers for my ninety yo mother! NOW? I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.  Does anyone else

I gave up on the new Sonos app yesterday and purchased the app called Sonophone. It seems to have stability and functionality that Sonos has jettisoned. Okay to use this app? What are the downsides? Can we ask Sonos to reimburse us for the app purchase price?

Dear Sonos…..I love your products, connectivity and ease of use.  Unfortunately your new mobile app is extremely disappointing.  It clearly was rolled out prematurely without customer vetting and enough testing.  Please take the feedback on this forum and roll it back until you vetted it through your customers.  Sincerely, a teetering loyal customer.

I wanted to provide feedback on the new app layout and design.  It would be ideal to have everything on 1 screen in quadrants.  I find you have to drill down too many levels and then all the way back to get to the “Home Screen” and the Search Bar.  Music Services in 1 quadrant with the search bar always present, 2nd quadrant for what is playing now with ALL the controls, 3rd quadrant for all the devices/rooms you have that can be turned on and off or have their volume adjusted.  Lastly, the 4th quadrant for your personal playlists/recently played. Touching 1 quadrant expands it to have all the details you have now in the various sub-menus but it eliminates drilling down. All controls in the app now accessible from 4 quadrants - simple and clean.

Probably like many others, since the pea-brained ‘upgrade’ to Sonos, now nothing works. I have 2 SLs and a Roam, but have lost all of my music and playlists. I have dusted down my CD player and found the 3 or 4 CDS I have left… and that’s it. Does anyone know of a good place to get a few pennies for these products? Also, does anyone know how many people have been fired at this company for what must be the worst upgrade in human history?

What is going on with Sonos? The new app is awful. No queue or alarm facility. How can this huge company think this is a good idea. Wish I hadn’t updated it now unless I’m missing something. Sonos please sort it out. Ruining the Sonos experience. 

I just spent over 8 hours fixing all the problems that emerged immediately following the download of the new Sonos software. Did anybody at Sonos test this code before releasing? How does software as bad as this make it to customers. I work for an API-development organization. If we release an update with problems like the latest Sonos update, we’d be out of business. Please fix and re-release, but test it first and analyze the test results.

I saw a note that said something likealarms by late May queue management by Juneanyone have this list? I’m guessing these are new releases in Jira.   

For over a year I have been escalating repeatedly that my Sonos Controller App on my Mac no longer would automatically update.  Instead I had to uninstall my Sonos app on my Mac and reinstall it and then reconnect my Music Library.  Then and only then it would index my library with the current changes I made adding music and new playlists.Earlier in the week when I installed the new mobile App and tried to play music it couldn’t find my music I had played the day before because it wasn’t connected.  I went to my Mac and opened the Sonos Controller App and to my surprise it apparently updated automatically when it had disconnected after downloading the new Mobile App. I was truly impressed that Sonos actually had responded and fixed the problem of automatic updates on macOS versions beginning with Ventura and still was an issue with Sonoma. While the process was annoying and took extra time to index the entire library rather than just adding the changes, it was simple enough. But I was

Was this update created to annoy/baffle/confuse users? If so, CONGRATULATIONS you nailed it! Missing Alarm function, no crossfade, no “history”. Come on Sonos get this sorted....😤
