If I hook up a boost to my system will my Roam still play in sync with the other speakers

As noted I would like to hook up a Boost to handle my existing speakers 10 all in but also have a Roam.  I know that the Roam is not compatible with Boost but will it still run off my wifi and sync with them when in everywhere mode?

Sonos move and S1

Just a quick check if the Move is still compatible with S1, reading the general table, it should be, but based on the Q&A of the product, it shouldn’t… Is it a new version which is not compatible with S1 anymore and the table is not up to date or it is just a mistake in the Q&A?Thx!

Sonos Roam not showing in controller app

When I go into the Sonos S2 controller app on my Ipad or Iphone, there are a lot of occasions where the Sonos Roam just does not show up at all, even after turning it back off and on again. I can see some of the other Sonos devices but not the Roam. I’ve also noticed the power button has a mind of it’s own, sometimes when I press it nothing happens, sometimes it comes on, sometimes I keep my finger on the button it might come on, then other times it might not and I have to plug it into the power supply to get it to come on. I just find this device so hit and miss and inconsistent.

Move not charging or turning on

Hi everyone, I’ve got a Move which doesn’t appear to be turning on or charging over USB-C as the battery indicator and main status light aren’t lighting up. Unfortunately I don’t have the dock as it’s a 2nd hand unit. I’ve tried 2 power supplies which should be able to provide the power it needs (65W laptop charger and a 90W charger from a Philips 346B1C PC monitor, the monitor can provide 12 V/3 A and 15 V/3 A which meet the Move’s spec).To try and diagnose where the problem is, does anyone know:Can the Move operate without the battery if it’s plugged into power? Can I run diagnostics over the USB port? Is there a way to check the battery level (including with a multi meter)?I’d also be interested to know if there are other steps I can take to diagnose and (hopefully) fix the problem. Thanks in advance

Max volume of Move differs from time to time.

If i play on max volume on my Move sometimes its like 80% of the volume. But then after a while it will just add the 20% out of nowhere and then later it can diss appear again. Can anyone explain this and know a fix for it?

2 x Pairs Move's keep dropping

I have 2 x Moves paired in the kitchen, and just recently they have started to drop/disappear from my system. If i power them off and back on they eventually come back online after approx. 5 mins. On the app, when I look at System, there is a warning saying, “Kitchen not configured”. These have worked perfectly up till now, and I’ve had no change to Wi-Fi set up. Any ideas ? TIA

Sound alert when battery low Sonos Roam

Hello,Is there a way to set a sound alert when battery is low on Sonos Roam?I know there is an orange light that is visible when battery is low but i will prefer to have an audible alert as well.If there is none, do you think this is something worth asking Sonos about? Thanks,Radu B.

Sonos Roam not connecting to Wifi

My Roam will connect to Bluetooth and the app will show it as connected to BT whilst playing. it will not connect to Wifi despite several resets and setup attempts. The setup works very well until I get to the ‚connecting to Wifi‘ part. i have UniFi access points and have made changes to settings suggested by other users. Allother Sonos devices on my network work well. Assume this is a faulty device i need to return?

Bring Sonos Roam to work.

The Sonos Roam is set up in my home WiFi with several other Sonos speakers. Today, I wanted to bring the Sonos Roam to work. First, I paired it to my iPhone using bluetooth. Then I opened the Sonos app to play music. But the app tells me it can’t find any Sonos devices. Why doesn’t it see the Roam paired with bluetooth? Then I tried to add it to the wifi network at the office. The iPhone is connected to the wifi. Now the app tells me it can’t find any  devices in that wifi network but doesn’t let me add the Roam to the network. Finally I did a factory reset on the Roam, now the app found it, but when trying to add it to the wifi network, nothing happens. I use a guest wifi without password, for the first connection, I just had to entery my phone number and it would send me a connect ID. But since my iPhone is already connected to that wifi, I should be able to add the connected Roam as well, shouldn’t I?

Best for the back yard? 2 Roams in Stereo or 1 Move?

We’re getting the backyard ready for a big summer.  Lots of space out there, no pool.  Would you recommend we set up a pair of Roam speakers in Stereo or just 1 Move speaker?Appreciate your help!

I’ve successfully done this with the arc and ikea symfonisk but not for the move. Is the move missing nfc ? If not where should I place the phone? thanks you !

not skipping spotify track

Hi all - for the last few days my Sonos Roam will no longer skip Spotify tracks when I ask it (‘this action is not supported), and secondly it stopped playing sleep sounds on loop (even when I ask it to loop it, and it confirms this is done and memorised). Anyone else having the same problems and/or troubleshoot suggestions? Henry

Sonos Move - gets stuck in sleep mode

loving my Sonos One SL + Move system - except that when I pause the music and the Move goes to sleep, it doesn’t wake back up. The light comes on, and the buttons respond with little blip noises, but the app doesn’t see it as awake.  Tried all of the things the app suggests to do, it just never sees it awake and ready.  If I put it back on the charger, it will eventually wake up - but I make it wake up when I want to.  I see a similar discussion here on the Roam - anyone else seeing this with the Move?

Sonos Roam = Brick

Update on my 1.5 year old Roam that has been determined dead, I've been on several chats with Support, though I've used my Roam maybe 5 times in the 1.5 years, it’s a brick out of warranty, the best they’ll do is a 30% off coupon toward a replacement. Not good enough Sonos, I’ve been a customer since 2008 and things are slipping with the newer devices, by all the accounts posting similar experiences with the Roam, I think it’s a lemon.After talking it over with my wife, we’re not thrilled with the trend, issues with the system as far as connectivity etc, things seem to be on the decline. We won’t be using this coupon offer for another new component, I think we’re done.

Roam pair as a seperate system?

Forgive me if this has already been covered but my search didn’t find it. I would like to make my Roams a separate system for travel/holidays. I want the facility of a stereo pair so, as I understand it, Bluetooth doesn’t do what I want. If I try and reset them to do this and reset the app, then as soon as I log in with my email address, the app goes looking for the rest of the system it knows I have. Then it doesn’t seem to want me to connect to another network because it can’t find everything. My question: Do I need to create a new Sonos account with a different email so that I can have another “household”, or am I missing something obvious? TIA

Unable to connect Sonos Move to the system

Our Move dropped from the system for no apparent reason and now we are unable to find it or reload it. We have tried re-booting, installing again, re-loading the app. Nothing seems to work.

Unable to (re)connect Sonos Move

We have a play bar, sonos one and move set-up in a system and the move dropped and we are unable to connect it again - 10+ hours into it already and the chat bot is worthless on this subject - any insight from the community?

Connecting new Sonos move to S2 app

I have a Play3 and I play Spotify through it. I just bought a Sonos Move. I can play Spotify through the Move but I cannot add the device to my App? Additionally I want to group the speakers together but the Group tab is greyed out and says ‘This feature is available on systems with three or more rooms’?

Can't wake-up Sonos Roam's in the last month

Hi everyone,I own two Sonos Roam’s, often configured in stereo mode and the app version is 15.2.1.I used this system in the last year without any issues, I usually open up the app on my iPhone/iPad Pro and the Roam’s wake-up immediately.In the last month until today, this simply function seem broken. I always have to turn on manually the both Roam’s.I didn’t change anything, maybe it’s the last update (of the app? of the firmware?) but I cannot be sure.What I can check?

Lost sonos roam

I can’t find my sonos roam anywhere.  Is it possible for sonos to check the serial number and see if it has been registered anywhere else?  Guessing one of my kids friends may have snagged it.
