Anyone have issues with Roam after a power cut

I have multiple Sonos speakers including Arc Home Theatre Setup, Move, 2 x One’s plus a Roam unit.I live in a reasonably remote area and get power outages around once per month. All Sonos equipment  powers up again with no issues communicating with each other or Amazon Alexa devices, Apple Music, Netgear Orbi router etc. - except that is the Roam speaker. Everytime I have to Reset from scratch. Once done it works fine until the next power Anyone else having this issue ? Thanks

Roam EQ sound adjustment

Roam is excellent, portable and sound is good.  Purposely purchased with mic for the TruePlay.  Device needs 3 band EQ adjustment.  Bass is outstanding, Treble is good, not great.  Having no Mid adjustments is horrible!  Seems like an easy software fix. Mid adjustment feature please!

Assigning Sub Mini to Sonos Move?

I have Sonos on my outdoor patio, but not inside. I bought a Sonos Move and Sub Mini to bring the outdoor sounds inside, when necessary. However, I would like to be able to play JUST the Sonos Move and Sub Mini INDOOR, but I don’t get the option to “assign” the Sub Mini to the Sonos Move. Is there a sub that WILL pair with the Move, so that only those speakers are playing inside, and not have music playing on the patio at the same time?

Sonos Roam not going into bluetooth mode

I’m traveling with my Sonos Roam and can’t get the Bluetooth function to work. I’ve had it for a few years so it’s set up on the Sonos app (on my home WiFi network) and I have used it as a Bluetooth device in the past. I’ve read every post I could find and nothing has worked. As others have mentioned, I can’t connect it to my hotel’s wifi because the login requires a room number ( not a password). Might anyone have a suggestion? I usually travel with a cheap JBL Bluetooth speaker and I’ve never had an issue .. I brought the Sonos to treat myself as I’m gong for a long stretch.  Thank you!

Sonos Move Bluetooth Fails to Connect

My Sonos Move fails to connect to a Bluetooth device (Epson projector). It will find the projector but fail to connect every time. I have a Bose Bluetooth speaker that successfully connects every time so I can rule out the projector as the problem. Suggestions?  This is frustrating and I'm contemplating returning this speaker.

Manage Roam Bluetooth Connections

Roam is driving me Nuttts…

No doubt this type of issue has been raised before, I’m “new” here and still attempting to find my way around, so please forgive in advance.I have a really frustrating reoccurring problem with my Roam in that it just suddenly disconnects (today it disconnected 4 times in the space of 90 minutes).I then attempt to reconnect (firstly via iTunes / airplay) and then in the Sonos app. I’m then met with a blank screen / can’t find your product etc with my Roam sitting no more than an inch away from me (I’ve stopped what I’m doing in an attempt to get the music going again).Eventually after many attempts, taking 20 minutes or so, I reconnect after force closing all apps, going in to Sonos, doing the “finding your appliance”, found it but can’t connect so switch it off etc…..But….during all of this and when trying to reconnect Roam to airplay I can easily connect to my Ray / SL setup that I have in the “man cave”…but Roam is nowhere to be found (Ray is in another room in the house at least 6 -

Mixer to Roam via Bluetooth Audio Adapter?

I use a Roam to connect one bluetooth turntable to the Roam and them my older Sonos System. Now I'm wanting to do the same but with two turntables and a mixer using a standalone Bluetooth Audio Adapter (like this one). How can I get the Roam to connect to the BT Adapter without an interface. Can I do something special in the iOS app? Something else?

all of my music and playlists are grayed out

Is anyone else experiencing an issue with your playlists being unavailable? I subscribe to Sonos radio and it just has a message saying no longer available. I can’t access audacity, Spotify, or any of my channels today. I see them, but they are grayed out. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled, verified everything is on the same WiFi, and now I’m not sure what to do. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Sonos Roam - Stuck In Sleep Mode

My sonos roam is stuck in sleep mode, the app is alerting me to press any button - and even when I do it does not leave sleep mode.  It also will not respond to me holding the power button for 5+ seconds.The device is stating that the battery is fully charged and the device is plugged in - however, when I unplug the Roam, I am unable to turn it on. Is this a battery issue, or a true sleep issue?  I have owned the roam for less than a year.

Cannot control Move 2 via Sonos app

I am having trouble playing music on my new Move 2 via the Sonos app. I have 2x Era 300, a Roam, and a Move 2 all connected to the same Wi-Fi network. When I attempt to play music through the Sonos app, the sound only comes from the Era 300 and the Roam, but not the Move 2. The Move 2's status on the app shows as connected. However, when I switch to Apple AirPlay, it works.Note: I added Move 2 to the system last night, and it worked with the app just fine. The dropout issue occurred this morning.

Move 2 Battery Drains in Sleep Mode

2 Just spent many hundreds of dollars on a wonderful – sounding pair of move 2 speakers. It appears that sleep mode does not always remain engaged, but I am certain of this: one of the new move 2 speakers was definitely indicating it had been and was in sleep mode (I checked it after not doing anything overnight, and it was sitting there supposedly in sleep mode, that’s what it said), but the battery had drained down to 2%, and it was fully charged the day before.it is of course frustrating to have drained a new battery nearly down to zero, when the advanced-technology Move 2 was in sleep mode.It would be great if sleep mode didn’t drain the battery.Thank you.

sonos roam won't connect to system

I have a new sonos roam. It will set up but won't show up on my system. It is a new system with nothing on it. I am using the Sonos app. Both the speaker and my phone are on my 2.4G network. I have tried factory resetting the speaker several times. I'm super bummed since it's brand new. Any advice?

Sonos Roam wake sound: Is there a wake sound? If so, how is it enabled?

Pressing the Power/Bluetooth button on the rear of my woke Sonos Roam will put the unit to sleep and play a quick tone.Pressing the same button when the unit is sleeping will cause it to wake and activate the status light.However, i do not hear a tone or other sound when the unit wakes. Can such a sound be enabled?(The lit status light is insufficient since my Sonos is protected by a rubber armour sleeve which obscures the status light.)TIA!

ROAM connectivity

Has anyone found a bluetooth adapter that will connect a non-bluetooth audio line output with a Sonos ROAM? I have no wifi available (caravan use) and want to connect an old TV line output or an old audio CD player via a bluetooth interface that is compatible with Sonon ROAM.
