Sonos Roam Orange Light

I have 2 sonos Roam speakers. One of which will not connect. I have not used this one for several months. All I get when placed on charger is the orange light but this goes out for after a couple of minutes then nothing. I’ve tried a different charger same thing.

Anyone else experiencing problems getting return shipping labels via email ?

Here it is.  i have a defective unit (Roam) that I need to return for replacement. Spoke to CS service and received a return number and form to complete with credentials. Receiving a second email confirming return number and steps to follow to return the unit. Was supposed to get a separate email with the shipping labels that never came. Spoke to CS again (two more times) and they said labels were sent to email address (after confirming email). Of course junk/spam folders were checked and nothing there. Last CS rep I spoke to said they would escalate to return department that would send labels…..crickets…..crickets…..no labels,no follow up nothing.Very disappointing from a company I have been loyal to for many years.  How hard can it be to send a shipping label via email ???Apparently for SONOS it is really hard seeing all the different posts regarding this same issue within this community.  Just wanted to share another less than satisfied customer experience with you all.

Sonos Roam 2 Bluetooth Grouping

I just purchased a Sonos Five and Sonos Roam 2 to cover a room in my house. These are added to my collection/setup of other Sonos devices. The cool feature incorporated with the Roam 2 is the ability for it to act like as a Bluetooth bridge/port. This feature works great with the Sonos Five, which I created a group for together with the Roam 2 through the app. The only thing is, whenever you connect to the Roam via Bluetooth, you have to keep checking the five in the app each time you connect to allow the synced Bluetooth sound. Now I noticed that the group function works very nicely where I can hold the play button manually on the five and it automatically plays whatever my roam is playing via Bluetooth since they are in a already created group in my Sonos system. The same does not seem to be the case when music is playing via Bluetooth on the roam but holding the play button on the roam instead of the five does not automatically have my five activate in the group and sync the sound.

move 2 cutting in and out

I have (2) move 2’s and one of them keeps losing connection. I have tried rebooting, changing to stereo, changing devices, changing channel. I would blame it on a connection issue but only one of them keeps doing it. I have 4 other sobos speakers that work perfectly fine as wellAny suggestions would be greatI’ve done all of the obvious Thanks

tp link Archer vr1600v connection problem

Trying to connect a Roam 2 to my tplink vr1600v without any luck.  No settings changed on the router, just the standard WPA/WPA personal security in 802.11b/g/n mixed mode. Has anyone had any luck doing this?

airfoil/move 2

Airfoil on my Mac still connects to my Move 2, but the latter does not play any sound. Is this a known issue? (Firmware?) Can I do anything about it? Other sources get played normally.

Roam SL new out of the box issues

Hello all,I recently received a new in boxes Roam SL that I've struggled to get it working. I'm not sure which is the most critical issue that is contributing to being unusable.Here goes:First step plugged it in and starts to come to life with first seeing the batter light flashing then after about 15 seconds it goes out and the above the Sonos logo begins to flash.Was able to get it added to my network and system but then needs an update which fails and produces error 1002. Btw to get it added I had to manually enter the code on the bottom of the unit since it never made a sound.I tried multiple things like hot-spotting from a phone to a tablet with no luck.I tried plugging it into my PC via USB and got all the way to needing an update, which also failed but different error code 888 which is low battery.  I can see all of the info for the unit on my PC such as serial number firmware number and all related info aswell as being able to see it through file explorer.I believe the battery

Move 2 sound randomly not working

I have two Move 2 speakers and the sound connection has been an issue from day one.When playing music from my phone via Bluetooth, the sound randomly cuts in and out for either or both speakers, sometimes there's no sound at all.For my projector, it got so bad with the sound not working at all most of the time, that I got a cable to connect to one of the speakers. This worked the first time, now not anymore.I have tried unpairing and re-pairing, made sure they are connected via 5Ghz WiFi, even reset the speakers multiple times.This is extremely frustrating, especially given the price of these speakers.

Sonos Move 2 says “not registered” in app

It has taken a while for me to start using my Move 2.First it would not update (before first use). It kept saying there was a problem connecting to my Wifi. Even though the other 50 products in the house work properly. I had to go to someone else his house to use their Wifi which worked immediately.  When I got back home the Move 2 needed to be added to my account. Which then also failed at my home. After creating a new account (and multiple tries) it finally added the Move 2 to my second account.  Now the Move 2 is visible in the app and can be used, BUT it keeps saying “Not registered”. This way I can’t see the battery level or access the settings.  It did work for a brief moment (after using a method from another user = logging out in the app, resetting the app and logging in again). But after a few minutes it said “Not registered” again and the previous method does not help anymore.  I’m out of ideas because I have tried literally everything (reboots, resets, factory resets, app re

Move1 disconnects when pausing. Have to power off/on to reconnect

Howdy,I’m streaming audio from my iMac and Tidal to Move. Each time I pause the audio then click play, there’s no audio. If I wait for a few minutes sometimes the audio is reconnected.The only fix is to power off/on Move (the button on the back of the speaker) then the audio reconnects. I just checked, I have the Move has the latest updates.Is there a fix for this?Thanks,

Sonos ROAM & WiFi

How is it 2025 and the Sonos Roam doesn’t have the ability to ROAM between multiple WiFi networks? I like to take my Roam between my house and my partners house without the need to manually reset/change the wireless connection. Surely this should’ve been implemented by now, judging by feature request threads from 2023 :(

Sonos Move randomly becomes disconnected

My Sonos move has become disconnected from my Wi-Fi. As a result, it’s no longer showing in the App either . I’m having issues getting it reconnected. Please does anyone have any ideas ? I’ve not been able to perform a factory reset. As yet I’m at a loss and beginning to wonder if it will ever work again 😭

Big problem with sound lag/delay with bluetooth from my PC to the Sonos Move 1 since the latest updates.

Bonjour,Depuis les dernières mises à jour des contrôleurs pour mon Sonos Move 1 j'ai des gros souci de décalage entre mon PC (streaming avec Qobuz) et mon enceinte.Cela n'était pas le cas auparavant, ni avec mon iMac ni avec mon PC. Le son sur le Sonos démarre parfois plusieurs secondes après avoir lancé une piste musicale, c’est vraiment pénible.Et ce problème ne concerne que mon Sonos Move 1 car j'ai essayé le streaming bluetooth depuis mon PC avec d'autres enceintes (Philips BT-100 ou JBL Boombox) et il n'y a absolument aucun problème.Donc, ce n'est pas un problème avec le bluetooth de mon ordinateur.Pourriez-vous m'apporter une solution? Car c'est vraiment frustrant qu’une enceinte aussi chère que le Sonos Move 1 ne puisse pas répondre avec un minimum de réactivité maintenant.Merci d’avance. Moderator Edit - Translation by Google:Hello,Since the latest controller updates for my Sonos Move 1, I've been having major issues with lag between my PC (streaming with Qobuz) and my speaker.

multiple groups for move 2 duo

Hi,I bought two move 2s with the idea to have them as a stereo pair when watching movies, and two individual speakers that can be moved around the house when listening to music. Never having owned Sonos speakers before, I had read about the groups in the app and assumed that I could just assign them to two different groups, one as stereo pair and one as individual speakers (e.g. room 1: “stereo”, room 2: “mobile”).But now that they're stereo paired, I can't see them individually anymore in the groups section.Is this type of use not possible, or am I missing a step?And if it's not possible yet, can we please make it so? I think it would be a very useful feature.Thanks in advance for helping :)
