Portable speakers

Hello all,We have been waiting for so long to use Sonos move speakers as surround speakers, and finally it is there… but only working on 2nd generation of Move Speakers ?! really?! Can someone explain me why 1st Gen don’t have this ability ? Technically I mean, because software pov, I’m sure it’s not an issue. 

Could the red light flashing on the Sonos Move be from my speaker not being used for nearly 2 yes?  Maybe a permanent battery fault?

Any idea how I can remove it, I tried factory reset but it just shows as “Powered off” now? Surely it can’t be this difficult.

Why my Sonos move doesn't start?

Hello,I wrote to support but no reply....can anyone answer this?1/ I have 2 Sonos Play speakers paired in stereo.2/ I have ordered a new Sonos Beam Ultra.If I set the Sonos Play speakers up as surround speakers and pair them with the Sonos Beam Ultra, they will function as surround speakers as expected... but my question is: if I move them back (to their original location), will they play in stereo again, or will I have to pair them in stereo mode every time?Thanks a lot for the answer...Best regards, P.

I mostly love my Sonos equipment, but what in the heck were they thinking hard wiring the USB-C cable into the Sonos Play dock? I strive for that clean look and I have 6 feet of wire to somehow hide on my countertop. If you simply allowed a USB-C to USB-C cable, I could use a much shorter cable and it would look much cleaner.  Also, slightly annoying for a premium product that it does not come with a charging block. I have a black Play and a white Play so I needed to find USB-C blocks for both of them.  But mostly, come on, give me a dock option with a removable wire! 

Sonos Move does not power on after battery replacement.  Swapped batteries and charging base with known working Move, but no change.  When placing Move on charging base, the 4 small indicator lights at front bottom of Move go solid red for about 10 seconds, then go off.  Nothing after that - will not power on with either battery.

I have two Sonos Play Portable speakers each with their own Sonos charging ring and 45w power brick. Both charging rings work but one Play has just stopped and won’t charge. Dead kaput. It’s been out of the box not even two weeks and fully updated. Any thoughts from the community?

I’ve been playing around trying to diagnose a weird issue with my Roam. About 6-9 months ago, I started randomly getting issue with the Roam going into deep sleep mode and not waking up with the app or using a magic packet for Wake-on-LAN. I’ve been playing around with a few things and it seems to be related to the charge state. I keep my Roam in the bathroom most of the time and charge it from a USB power bank every few days. I’ve noticed that when the Roam has been charged from the power bank, it no longer responds through the app. I believe there is an ‘on-charge’ state flag being set that gets confused when the power bank goes to sleep after it’s completed its charge. This wasn’t an issue for the first two years I owned the device, so I believe it’s been introduced in a recent firmware. I’ve checked both the app and firmware for my device and I’m up to date. When the Roam is attached to the wall, it wakes up as expected, or if I disconnect from the power bank while it is on, it wak

Does the Sonos Play portable speaker have a battery bypass or management system, if I leave it on the stand for a loooooong time does it bypass the battery after the battery is charged?

Good news for folks with no rear power outlets or limited room.https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/beam-ultra-blackWhich Sonos speakers work as surrounds with Beam Ultra?A matching pair of the following speakers will work as surrounds: Sonos Play, Move 2, Era 300, Era 100, Sonos One (including Sonos One SL), Sonos Five, and SYMFONISK (Gen 2) speakers. You can also use Amp to power in-wall, in-ceiling or other passive speakers as surrounds.

I received a Sonos Move 2 for Christmas, and unfortunately it has been one of the most frustrating technology purchases I have made.Let me be clear: the hardware is beautiful. The design is excellent, it looks fantastic and the sound quality is very good. If I were reviewing the physical speaker alone, I would have very little criticism.The problem is everything that is supposed to make the speaker work.The Sonos app is unreliable and buggy. I regularly have problems connecting to the Move 2, and I have experienced problems with both Spotify and Apple Music. Trying to play music that is already in my Apple Music library, rather than music streamed directly from a service, has been particularly frustrating.I have spent an extraordinary amount of time trying to connect the speaker, get the app to recognise it and get music playing. On several occasions I have had to effectively factory reset the speaker to get it working again. I spend almost as much time trying to get the Move 2 working

If your Roam 2 speaker has sat without power for some time, does it need to be plugged into a power source for a bit before you can even get the power or status light to come on?

Hi all, I’m trying to set up a sonos roam sl but nothing seems to work. It doesn’t respond at all (even when pressing the power button for 15+ seconds) at all after disconnecting from the charger after charging for an hour (with the correct charger). When plugging in, the battery light quickly flashes red then the status light flickers white and then stays solid white. When opening the sonos app, to finalize the setup it says to update the speaker but whenever I try, I get a 1016 error. When clicking on how to fix, it says to disconnect the speaker and factory reset but then the previous problem comes up as nothing happens when I disconnect the charger. Also no noise comes out of the speaker at all when I press any buttons. What do I do?

I have a Sonos Roam 2, and for the past two days I haven’t been able to connect it to my Apple devices via AirPlay.The issue occurs both at my office and at home. I have already tried everything I can think of, but the speaker does not appear in the AirPlay device list. The Roam 2 is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as my Apple devices.Bluetooth works perfectly, and the Sonos app also works without any issues. The only problem is connecting the speaker via AirPlay.At home, I have other devices connected through AirPlay, and they work without any problems, so the issue seems to be specifically with the Roam 2.Could you please help me troubleshoot and resolve this issue

I have an issue with my Sonos Roam where the volume will drop from high to low when streaming Spotify. I've tried factory resetting the Sonos Roam. I've tried moving it closer to the router and it only happens on my Sonos Roam and not on my Sonos Move which is on the same network. It even happens when the two speakers are paired together and it only happens on the Roam. Submitted diagnostics Moderator Edit - Recorded and removed diagnostics.

Sonos app says Roam2 battery is depleted.  I can not power up the Roam2

I recently set up Sonos save to my 5 cd changer . Worked wonderfully and was loving it . But now my cd system shows it’s playing the track on the cd but the music won’t play . The speaker is on and I have rebooted each. Still nothing !! Help ???

Hey guys, I’ve owned a Sonos Move 2 for about a year now. In my house there’s a system setup for an arc home theatre, and I had my Move 2 on its own separate system (these systems are 2 separate Sonos accounts as well). I realized last month that my Move 2 no longer showed up in the app, but it still worked over Bluetooth.I Finally set myself to fixing the setup, and did a factory reset on the move to reconnect it. However when I choose to setup a new system with it, it gets as far as having completed the WiFi connection and then fails to make a new system, causing my speaker to be lost.Specifically, it gets to the point where the app informs me that my Move has been added to the system, and that it will likely need to be reset in order to be seen. At this point the app fails to actually make a new system, I find myself connected to the existing home theater system. when my Move 2 finishes resetting it’s just non-existent in the app, with no new system created. I’ve tried re-installing

Maybe I'm missing something, so I'm asking before I drive myself crazy.I'm using my Sonos Move over Wi-Fi through the Sonos app. At some point it ends up flashing blue, disappears from the Sonos app, and I have to get it back onto Wi-Fi before I can use it the way I normally do.Is this really the intended behavior?If it is, I'd honestly like to understand the thinking behind it. I almost never use Bluetooth, so I find myself wondering why there isn't a simple option to disable Bluetooth mode for people who don't need it.What advantage does this design provide? Maybe there's a use case I'm not seeing. If this is intentional, I'd genuinely appreciate hearing why Sonos chose this approach.If I've overlooked a setting or there's an easier way to prevent this from happening accidentally, I'd be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks.

My two move sonos are setted up as pair of stereo by themselves in a room . Im trying to turn on truplay on the app , and it ask me to turn on the microphones to be able to use trueplay , the issue is when I touch the microphone on each speaker finically  nothing happens , they stay off, microphones don't light up , then im not able to use truplay. ( just as reference,  before I was able to turn them on ) this issue is recent .

For several years I've been enjoying my Sonos system at home and my cottage. When going to the cottage, I pack my two Roams and oncr I set them up originally on my cottage wifi, they would  connect upon power up. Lately, the Roams are not found on the cottage wifi and I have had to factory reset them and set them up. Then I have to do the same when I return them home. This is getting tiresome and I think it should be easier than this. Any ideas?

My Sonos move is missing from app, usually fix probs myself but unable today.  Sonos te h tell me to interfere with my Sky router reducing 5 ghz to 2.5 GHz.  I’m a not tech savvy woman aged 75 who is terrified of interfering with router.  Sky says I shouldn’t, Sonos says I should.  HELP!  I’ve NEVER been ask by Sonos to change anything in router, they have ALWAYS managed to get my system up and running by having me running from room to room switching this on and off, you all know the procedure, exhausting.  Extra exhausting today, still without my old beloved MOVE!  Any help out there?

Volume keeps turning down on Bluetooth whilst using Spotify
