Portable speakers

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

Sometimes when the Move is in a group and I press play, every speaker starts except the Move. It says that it is playing music and I can change volume and stop all speakers by pressing pause on the Move. If I remove the Move from the group and starts the music from the Move and adds all the speakers, everything works fine. I doubt it us the Wifi since it works when the Move is alone and the other added after. How to fix this so that the Move can be added to a group without be the "first" speaker of the group? 

Hi there,New Play, added SVC and Alexa. Worked fine at first, then the speaker would stop responding to “Hey Sonos” or “Alexa.”I tried removing Alexa and Sonos voice control and re-adding and that didn’t work. Restarting the Play worked before to get them to respond, but restarting the speaker doesn’t seem to work anymore either.Done everything short of a factory reset because that’s always a headache.any ideas?

Bonjour, Dans un environnement professionnel, je dispose de 5 Roam2. Tout marchait plutôt bien. Un jour sans prévenir (je suppose depuis la MaJ) rien ne fonctionne correctement. Sur mon application Sonos je ne vois plus que 3 Roam alors que sur la version ordinateur je vois 5 Roam.J’ai racheté une nouvelle Roam car une est HS au bout de 1 an. Il m’est impossible de la configurer sur le réseau privé, erreur de configuration ou erreur de connection avec le serveur de mise à jour. J’ai redémarré mon système wifi mais toujours non fonctionnel. avez-vous une idée d’où cela pourrait venir ? Je trouve vraiment ce système nul, je m’arrache les cheveux. merci

Bonjour,J' ai une enceinte Sonos move et l'autre jour j' ai pris mon téléphone pour la déconnecté mais elle a émis plusieurs bruits de sons système ( sûrement de mon téléphone) alors que la manip est assez rapide à faire pour l'éteindre avec le téléphone , mon enceinte a émis au moins 8 ou 10 bruits de son système. Mon téléphone est toujours en sonnerie et le bruit des touches étaient sûrement activé. Et je ne crois pas avoir entendu la petite musique que l'enceinte fait quand elle s'éteint. Savez vous à quoi c'est dû? Merci pour vos réponses Moderator Edit - Translation by Google:Hello,I have a Sonos Move speaker. The other day, I picked up my phone to disconnect it, but the speaker emitted several system sounds (likely from my phone); even though the process of turning it off via the phone is usually quick, the speaker made at least 8 or 10 of these system noises. My phone's ringer was on, and the keypad sounds were likely enabled. Also, I don't think I heard the little chime the spe

Relatively new sonos user. I have a home system with 2 zones of hardwired speakers driven by sonos amplifiers. Just added 3 x Move 2 speakers that I will place in various rooms for regular use and frequently use as a group of 3 for sound on a patio area that has good wifi reception (same network). The move speakers work well individually indoors and outside and also work fine when grouped with one of the amplifiers / hardwired speakers. When I try to group a Move 2 speaker with another Move 2 speaker, it works for a few seconds, then the audio only comes from one of the Move 2 speakers, even though the app shows additional move 2 speakers are still connected and playing audio. The entire use case for the Move 2 is based on using as a group of 3 outside, so I want this to work reliably. 

I recently got the Sonos Move 2. I have had an Apple HomePod in the living room for years, which I absolutely love, the big downside of it is it’s not battery powered so can’t really take it around the house or outside so I got the Move 2 as it’s portable. It’s proved invaluable because the radio stations I listened to on my old DAB radios in the kitchen and bathroom now require DAB+ and being able to play these stations through Sonos is a big plus. However, the one issue I have is the alarm. I have it set every morning to go off with Greatest Hits Radio. Some mornings, it goes off with Greatest Hits Radio. Some mornings it goes off with the alarm tone and no matter what I say to Sonos, the reply is something like “I cannot do this as there are no timers set.” Please tell me what I have to do to (a) Ensure it goes off with the Radio every morning and (b) tell it to switch the chime off when it gets it wrong? Thank youModerator edit: combined posts

My Roam 2 indicates that it’s being charged when on the wireless charger, but the charge slowly drops, about 5% or so per hour, I’ve tried multiple USB chargers including some high wattage ones, and have tried a different Qi-compatible charging pad but so far the Roam just slowly loses charge despite showing up as charging (lightning bolt in the middle of the battery icon).When using the USB-C cable directly into the Roam, it charges up and stays charged.

All of a sudden no sound is some out of my Roam. Sonos app ‘sees’ it and shows audio coming from it, but I hear nothing. Factory Reset twice with no luck. During Reset I hear audio.Play/Sound controls on Roam don’t appear to do anything either.Controlling system via iPad OS27 app.

This product was from startpoor battery, bugs in firmware and now stone deadthis was the last sonos product i will buythere are better alternatives :-) 

I had to restart/setup my Roam after changing WiFi network. I went through the factory reset process and everything was connected and set up and my password worked and I got Spotify pulled up in the app, but it won’t play the music.?

HI there!I just got a brand new ROAM SL from my uncle.But when tried to set up the speaker there are problems.First when put my charger on (the official charger),the charging indicator blinks red light ,no orange light and a white led next to the Sonos logo glowing,when I unplug the charger the led goes off and no matter how long I press the power button there’s nothing happen. I googled this problem it says there is something wrong with the battery.Should I just change a battery?Second,when I tired to connect to the app it said your speaker needs an update so that you can use it,but it keeps showing the error code 1016,I tried to change a different WiFi but the problem was still there.

Hi all/anyoneI have a Roam 2 with a Sonos wireless charger and plug.Unfortunately the lead is too short so I added a 1 metre usb extension lead. All worked well but on one occasion the battery discharged overnight, so I replaced the extension lead with another and all was fine but yesterday the wireless base started flashing red so I took the usb extension out and all it all works, but I cannot put the speaker where it needs to go.I’ve found out from the Sonos bot that I need a cable capable of delivering 5v/2a (10w) of power. Has anyone had any luck with this?Thanks for any help.

My 5 Sonos speakers all play music from my network share except my new Sonos Play.My new speaker will play music from Spotify without problems. Any ideas, regards Adam 

My gen1 Roam has become unresponsive. None of the buttons on top respond and the on/off button is also unresponsive and no lights come on. It is kept on the Sonos base charger when not in use (the charger plug supplies 5v, but I can’t tell if the base pad is working). If I plug a charging cable in the rear socket I get a red light at the bottom but none of the buttons respond. If it wasn’t nailed to the perch would it have fallen off?

Where can I purchase a replacement hanging strap for white Sonos Play? Also, any upcoming mounting accessories in the works?    

When the speaker is charging a flashing white light appears, but as soon as the cable is unplugged the light goes off and nothing happens no matter how long the power button is held.I hadn't used the speaker for several years and charged it for many hours because of that, but it doesn't respond to anything - neither when charging nor without.

Hi all. I hope you can help.  I have had a Sonos system successfully for ages, and recently added a Roam SL. on set up all goes ok, and works for a while, then it decides to drop off the system. It is visible in the app, but whenever I try to play something it states “connection timed out” and I can’t see the volume slider - just a thin white line. i have sky broadband with a deco mesh system. I have a Sonos product plugged directly into the router.   

Hello everyone I’m new to the Sonos community and would like some guidance before posting my issue.I’m currently experiencing a problem with my Sonos setup after recent changes/updates, and I’m not sure if it’s a settings issue, network issue, or something else.Has anyone else faced similar problems after updates, and what steps helped you resolve it?I’ve already tried basic troubleshooting like restarting the system and checking my network, but the issue is still there.Any advice or direction would be really appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I just found one of my Roam 2 speakers was so hot it melted the charging cord where it plugs into the speaker. I searched and found this issue reported in August of 2025. Has anyone had this experience recently?

I just purchased three ROAM SLs that were listed as “new” on a big box electronic store website but sold through a third party “marketplace seller”.  While attempting setup on one unit I kept encountering numerous errors (Errors 36 and 1032/1002 on mobile,  888 on the windows desktop app...), all of which suggested a hangup in software/firmware updates. Ok, no sweat I thought - we’ll just perform a reset per community instructions. However, when the time came to unplug the unit to perform the reset, the Sonos just blacked out. I thought maybe the battery fully depleted so I plugged it in to adequate charger per Sonos instructions - 1 hour, 2 hours, overnight. No matter what, the unit would only turn on if plugged in - and even then, no sound from the unit itself. That had me thinking perhaps I had 1 bad unit - but this exact issue presented on each of the 3 Roams I purchased. To be clear: (1) no evidence of shipping damage; (2) no evidence of used or “open box” status - everything look
