Portable speakers

I setup my new roam and everything seems to work but no music plays. I see volume change on phone when I use controls on roam. Phone and roam are talking to each other. I have tried Spotify and Apple services. No sound volume on speaker and phone is up. No volume limit.

I learn after I buy the product and start using it that for some unfathomable reason it won’t work on phone calls. The product has a good mic on it. Every other bluetooth speaker can do this. There is no mention anywhere of the lack of capability. I feel completely misled and wasted my money. I demand an explanation for why the company chooses not to allow this use case. And don’t close this topic for comments just because you don’t want to hear from more customers about this issue. I WANT AN ANSWER.

Can we alert Sonos through this facility to the extremely poor design of the Roam’s power button. Really difficult to turn on and off. Far too streamlined. Looks good but encourages violent response!

Does anyone have thoughts on the acoustic differences between the Move 2 and having 2 of the Move 1s setup in stereo? Thanks,Mike

I want to buy a pair of Fives for my room. They’ll be linked/paired as a stereo pair. Can I connect them to a Roam device over WiFi and play music from them via Bluetooth through the Roam (using the Roam as a gateway)?  E.g. I want to stream some YouTube music from my phone. I would stream it via Bluetooth to the Roam and then through that to the Fives. If not, I guess the only way is to plug in a Bluetooth receiver via the line-in connection?  And if so, could I do that and still have the music play over the linked pair?  

I watch you tube on iPad, can I run thru sonos

Purchased  2 Move speakers and only 1 connects.

I am getting this error message……. Wireless range extender Some Sonos products are using the WiFi from a range extender device. If you include one of these in a room group, you won't be able to play music in that group. To ensure playback in all grouped rooms, you'll need to permanently wire a Sonos product to your router. The SONOS One’s and Roam’s I have cannot be wired. Please help, I’m losing my patience having constant issues with a system I’ve spent over 2K on 😪

My Sonos Roam has a weird kind of latency when I connect it to my MacBook via bluetooth. The way it manifests is, whenever I play audio from my MacBook, (let’s say a YouTube video) the source video will freeze for a few seconds, then the video will begin and audio begins playing through the speaker. When I stop the source on my MacBook, the audio will continue to play through my Sonos Roam for a few seconds before stopping. And sometimes, the audio and video can even get out of sync which is very annoying and requires me to refresh the page. Does anyone know why this is happening? It seems like some kind of buffering that I’d like to disable if possible. Cheers

After the app forced an update last week, my Sonos Roam is now useless just as the warranty has expired.  I can’t power it on, it doesn’t charge on the base charger, and when I plug it into the plug in charger, the orange light comes on but never goes off. I’ve tried the 12 second reset and nothing.  Any ideas?

Does ROAM work with 1st generation Sonos speakers?

Considering purchasing a Roam SL for travel use.  It would not be connected to a WiFi system since most places I travel do not have reliable WiFi.  It would be connected to either Bluetooth or Airplay on my iphone.  I would be able to do any initial setup with it connected to WiFi as part of my home Sonos system.My question is:  Would I still be able to use the alarm function?  That is, would the speaker wake up and play music?  Would using my phone as a hotspot work or be needed?Or, how would I do this?

I have just added a Sonos roam to my system, yet when I connect and select music to play , no sound comes from the device?

Once you look around on-line and at support cases on the Sonos site, you will see that the Roam dies shortly after the warranty period. Once beyond the 12 month warranty period, Sonos says you are out of luck. It is an expensive paper weight. Don’t bother with support if you bought more than 12 months ago: This is what Sonos will tell you about the Roam. “I'm afraid that according to the information from our system, your Sonos Roam is out of warranty since MM/DD/YYYY. For this replacement, we can offer a 30% discount on the replacement unit since it is outside the warranty period. You will need to send your unit back to us, and we'll be sending you a coupon code you can use on sonos.com to get a product or set of speakers. Please, let me know if you want to proceed with this process. It will be a pleasure to help you.” So basically, it’s a product that dies with a poor quality power issue. Don’t

I have onkyo rz-810 receiver with port hook up no sound from my surround sound to move 2 speakers!

Move bought about 8 months ago has stopped doing anything.  Wont charge with ring, no lights through usb.  Cant read a voltage at the two pins on the ring.  Pushing and holding reset buttons doesn’t do anything.  It’s effectively bricked.  Anything I can do?

Hi there!I tried digging around various help topics on the forum but to no avail! I still want to try posting and find out if there is indeed a solution or I am being overly optimistic.I have a Sonos Move (2020 model) that was working perfectly fine all these days. Until recently, I noticed that the battery would discharge on its own while sitting on the charging base. I have never used a USB-C charger with this unit before. From the forum , I found various suggestions to do a reset (power button pressed 15 seconds off the base, and power button with 15 seconds on the base) that seemed to work and would reset and power on the system and start charging the unit. Again, within a day or two, I saw the battery drain (indicated by the low battery sound). I repeated the above steps and it worked.Recently, it once again drained out completely and this time the orange LED kept continuously blinking while sitting on the charging base and reset did not solve the problem.

I have a google nest doorbell, the wireless kind. The doorbell chime is supposed to play over google nest speakers. I don’t want a device with a microphone permanently listening in my house, so I bought a Sonos Roam SL in the hopes I could get the doorbell chime to play on that. I’ve hit a dead end. Has anyone done this successfully? I enabled notifications on the doorbell and the speaker is showing in my Google Home app, but I’m not sure how to get the notifications to work on the speaker. Google tech support will not help, I’ve tried. I also downloaded Google Assistant, where it says that there’s one Sonos device linked but it doesn’t display anywhere in the app. If I get it to display in Google Assistant I can create a Routine that starts when the doorbell rings which should trigger the action of making an announcement, but its saying “no device for audio available” on the routine creation page. Has anyone been able to use a Roam SL for this sort of thing?  Open to

I have a new Sonos Roam and pleased with it so far but cant get it to connect to my laptop via Bluetooth!Both are on the same Wi Fi network, it is connecting to other devices seamlessly and I can see the Roam in the recognised Bluetooth devices, but cant get an option to actually connect it!Would appreciate any advice and thanks  

Hello,My Sonos Roam (owned for almost 2 years) suddenly won’t power on even after staying on a charger (both wireless charging and with cord). I’ve tried doing the 12 second power button hold for a factory reset but it doesn’t do anything. Please help! 

As long as I downgrade the Sonos Move in the S2 app can I use a Sonos Move on the same system with a Sonos Play 3?

Seems to be a common discussion on this topic. Less than 2 years old and my roam is dead. Tried all the tricks and tips from support and still dead. Here is 30% off thanks bye from support. How are they still standing behind this and selling this thing with all the known problems? Its a great speaker when working. Really don't want to buy another one because I'm afraid of being in the same boat again. Is it really worth paying $200+ for the move? Seems like there should be a better option.

Recently my Sonos Roam has a crackling sound. When using the Tune In Radio, it is at the start of turning it on. After being on the phone with Sonos Customer Support and trying different items, it seems to happen more on Sonos Radio and other radio stations. It does not occur with Amazon music but does with Apple Airplay. 

Registered Sonos Roam absent from system list. Unable to locate missing Roam. Why would my registered product be missing from account?
