Owners café

When I bought my first Sonos speaker in 2010 or ‘12 I gave Sonos the benefit of the doubt. Company is new.. working out the kinks… but 14 years later and the newer devices I bought in 2018 still be struggling?? Occasionally people change their WiFi setup. Why must it be such an arduous task to get these damn WiFi speakers to connect to WiFi?!?!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬quit spending resources on beautifying the app… just make the speakers connect to the damn WIFI!!! Or Bluetooth, or WHATEVER… it boggles my mind that Tesla can update how a car drives over the air, as can apple, as can EVERY DAMN DEVICE I OWN… except Sonos, the WiFi speakers… don’t connect to WiFi!!!! 

I’ve ordered a Beam , but can’t find anything about delivery anywhere. Can someone point me in the right direction?

So, I know this topic has been discussed a gazillion times already. But I’m really getting upset by this. Why does there have to be a delay when using Sonos (Five or Amp for example, I’ve owned both) in standalone mode?  8/10 times my usecase for Sonos is casual listening via streaming services. But 2/10 times I want to use Sonos for live instrument playback. Such as a drum machine and other stuff I own. Or for desktop/youtube playback. I’ve spent literally hours searching for the best speaker setup for casual multiroom usage and some small birthday dancing and an input for live instruments. It exists, but I’d have to leave Sonos and go for Denon. But I would rather not. The minimum of 50-75ms delay in standalone usage for the Sonos Amp and Five is completely unnecessary. It forces me to have an extra pair of Yamaha hs7 at hand, while I’d rather get an Sonos Five instead. I know the arguments of people defending Sonos:Sonos is not made for that usecase The delay has to be there per des

Hi, I received an email today inviting to take part in a user research study from research@reasearch.sonos.com saying if selected I’d get the choice of $250 towards Sonos products or a Sonos move 2.  looks suspect to me (particularly as I’m in the UK) -  I don’t get many emails from Sonos so just wanted to check if rings any bells with anyone else?Thanks

Who’s gonna go first? 😬 Let me know how it goes.  Release notes Roam will now automatically switch to the best available access point when connected to a WiFi network with multiple access points.   Bug fixes and performance enhancements.https://support.sonos.com/en-ca/article/release-notes-for-sonos-s2

Want me wife added to account so her phone can play Spotify lists when I’m not home

I have old generation 1 equipment operating on S1 app (playbar, subwoofer, 2 connect amps, play 1 and play 5. One of the connect amps powers 2 passive speakers. I plan to get new arc for TV upgrade so I think I will need to get 2 amps to achieve system compatibility with S2 app. My question is will old sub , play 1 and play 5 work effectively on S2 app or do I need to replace those speakers as well. Finally will upgrading old subwoofer enhance overall sound. all sugesstions are welcomed.

I am trying to upgrade my Beam soundbar but I can’t work out where to activate the credit. The Sonos page says to sign in and go to the upgrade page but I can’t find it.

Just noticed my Pair of One SL's and Move have had their 15% Upgrade Promoted to a Limited Time 30% Offer. For Arguments sake, say the offer ends on 29th February, if I do nothing, my upgrades go back down to 15%. What if I add the Upgrade to my account, whilst at 30%, Come the 1st March, will it still be at the higher percentage, I hope so, as I don't have the funds yet to upgrade 😟. Thanks in Advance.

I have 12 sonos products and I have been struggling to get good customer support.  Such a pathetic support where I am waiting for a supervisor to call me for almost 15 days even after I called thrice requesting the same to order two new 300. Such a shame of support.

I bought a white Era 300 wall mount last year but realised I didn’t need it.  I assume it’s too late to get a product refund.    I wondered if there’s a Sonos forum for selling it second hand or whether I should just use eg Ebay.   Any thoughts/ideas?

I have two systems on two different networks in the same house and I can’t seem to merge them on to one network?anyone run into this problem?

My external hard drive has stopped working. The disc is no longer readable . When I connect the disc to my computer, the system asks me to format it.There are very important files on the disc.Does anyone know how to help me?

I am/was an avid fan of Sonos, it was the bees knees for sound and bass. it was the original and I had 3 speakers the sub woofer and the sound bar. that was till the second version came out and now I cannot use all the S1 pieces and it is frustrating me to no end. can anyone help me setup the S1 to my WiFi and the app. the App is not recognizing  the S1 speakers.

Now I am living in Beijing China. I have used speakers since I was in Japan. I moved to China and brought speakers.  Now I have problems for using speakers. I cannot access Sonos radio, Amazon music and Spotify and so on. Also I cannot download and install Sonos voice control function. how can we connect these music apps? How I can fix the situation? please advise.

I’ll start with the problem I’m having in as few words as possible:I have “remastered with 5.1 surround sound” remixes of classic CDs, packaged as a bonus DVD on a CD box set.  (Many of these...so many I’m wanting to remove the need for physical discs and rip them to my NAS so they can be played quickly and easily).  Sonos WILL play them when I rip the DVDs as .iso files.  But those files are huge and the system bogs down and I don’t need all the DVD content, only the DVD audio 5.1 material.Now the problem.  No matter what I try, and I’ve tried everything, either Sonos doesn’t see the folders containing the files, OR it does see them but complains about them being unsupported.I understand Sonos supports 24 bit and 48000 kHz.  So I encode with those settings but it still doesn’t see the files, or doesn’t like them.There must be some combination that works.  They absolutely need to be multichannel for the surround sound to work.  And if THAT is the problem, why does Sonos have no problem

Sonos customer service needs major upgrade. Product didnt work when i received.  Receiving run around by sonos. chat and phone call resulted in no action.   Put in for advanced return  but not received replacement.  Elevated to level 2 but link they sent doesnt work. Beyond disappointing with a company that charges high prices but doesnt stand behind their products.  Looks like many customers having same experience with sonos.  

I didn’t see any announcements… BUT ! Im delighted this morning to discover Sonos radio is now available in Portugal 🇵🇹 👍🏻

I have been getting strung along by Sonos for weeks now. I keep getting told The labels have been resent. That the issue has been escalated. That the labels will be sent soon. ECT. I even offered to ship it to them myself to only provide me the address that it needs to be shipped to. I can't even get them to provide that. I read that this is not an uncommon issue and I am curious as to why Sonos lies to all of its customers who have an issue. If somebody's figured out a solution to this please let me know. 

Why do you think EVERY couple is mixed race?

We are moving within the UK and need to disconnect the boxes in our existing home and move them to new house.  how do I disconnect permanently?  Are there special wires/cords I need to take with me to my new house for setup?
