Portable speakers

Hi All, Hope someone can help.  I’ve been having major problems getting my Sonos speakers, 2 Roam SLs, to connect with my WiFi through my phone - Android with the S2 app.  I occasionally get one speaker (of 2) to connect (let’s call it L) and I think I may have solved this, but the system can’t see the other (R).  The system settings claim a speaker is “powered off,” though I’m standing next to it and the light (white) is on.  Naturally I’d like to resolve this and set up the stereo pair.  I’m not even entirely sure the one that’s connected will stay so, it’ll take a few days to work this out and it seems to connect at random, without changing WiFi settings. Here’s what I’ve tried so far and noticed, over the space of a couple of weeks:factory reset of both speakers.  This worked once and I got them set up as a stereo pair, but then the system couldn’t find them again. it found them twice by itself, but failed to about 10 times (I gave up and tried on 3 occasions and would estimate abo

Sonos MOVE When the speaker is switched off, the microphone LED on top lights up white and after that the speaker cannot be switched on.I tried a factory reset, but it didn't respond to that either!What could be wrong?

I have a ROAM and was set up in a small work room. I moved it to another room and then unable to connect to sonos system. When I pressed to start it has a red light so I’m kinda stuck. Looked up help but nothing popped up that was helpful. Any ideasThanks

Can I pair a move with a Ray? 

I have 2 Play 5s and 3 Play 1s scattered around a 4,000 sf ranch house. Fills the place with sound … when it works. I don’t use it often, typically Saturday or Sunday mornings like now.It is never as simple as just open the app, start the music. Always some update that has to run. (Why can’t they schedule those to run in the background? I don’t know.) Then the system has to find the units. Hey, not on the right network...Why not? Not sure. I have 2 routers, both with 2.4 and 5 G but the units seem to switch around and attach themselves elsewhere or just drop off. Can you hold the button down? Sure, no problem, let me just get the ladder because 2 of them are way up on top of cabinets. Can you restart the router? Why, that’s no problem, I LOVE to do that stuff. Will it work today? I don’t know. Couldn’t get it running over my phone and now the update is running in the background on my PC, been downloading for 20 minutes. This is great.  

How come you cannot use multiple networks on your Sonos Rome every time I bring it home I have to set the network for Wi-Fi

I can't get my move to connect to wifi or Bluetooth any more  

I have been trying to get my Sonos Move to connect to my app or the internet for a few days now. It will connect to one or the other, but not to both. I have restarted it, trouble shooted, anything the troubleshooting part of the Sonos website told me to do. Eventually it tells me “connected, you may not see it on the system, you can fix that in the app” and it makes me start all over again. 

I’ve recently been gifted a Sonos Roam… Can anyone tell me if I purchase the Qi wireless charger, will the Sonos Roam be able to be left powered on permanently and act as a 24/7 Wi-Fi speaker without auto powering off?Ideally want to use it for 24/7 voice assistant for Alexa and not have to manually power it on to use.Thanks

Hi All,I am having a problem with audio drop-out when my Roam is grouped to my Beam (TV).The system is:3 x Play 31 x Beam1 x Sonos One1 x Roam Controller on smart phone Sonos S2All are WM:1 (WiFi, nothing wired).Network shows SonosNet Channel 6 (greyed out)WiFi is old-ish, 2.4 GHz onlyNothing is in surround sound or stereo pair set-ups.TV is a Sony Bravia. HDMI / ARC connection to BeamNo voice control or services in use I have used the system for several years without hitch. The Sonos One and Roam are new additions. Set-up went as expected and these 2 new units work normally when playing music from my Laptop / Music Library and  from mobile phone  “On this mobile device” and from mobile phone “BBC Sounds”. (I don’t have any music streaming accounts) The main use of my Sonos system is to hear whatever is playing on the TV throughout the house.  Mainly Digital  Freeview TV / Radio by aerial and BBC iPlayer via internet. Our family demographic is one where everybody can use the TV remote

Hi, I have disabled the Status Light on my Sonos Roam to prevent it lighting up my bedroom at night, but leaving the Roam on the Wireless Charger, the Battery Light regularly comes on briefly as if I have just placed it on the charger. Despite the Battery Light only being on for brief amount of time it is disturbing in the middle of the night. I’m guessing this is because the Sonos is allowing its battery percentage to drop down to 99%, then start charging again back up to 100%, but surely this should be factored in. What can I do to stop this happening?

Hi,Can I group a Roam SL speaker with my existing pair of Play:1?

I have a small house (840 square feet/78 square meters) with a Sonos One and a Sonos Move, both connected through Amazon Echo (Alexa). When I play music (grouped or ungrouped, using Alexa or using the App, using Amazon Music, Spotify, or Sirius XM as source), the One begins playing immediately, but the Move will take up to 45 seconds before any sound happens. I can be standing right next to the Move, say “Alexa, play <song title>,” and it will respond from that speaker - “Playing <song title> by <artist> from Amazon Music,” and it will take 30-45 seconds for any sound to come out, and it will be 30-45 seconds into the song. If the two speakers are grouped, I’ll hear the first part of the song playing on the Sonos One, and the Move will eventually join the song already in progress.This also happens if I switch music - Don’t like the vibe, so I change stations or playlists. The One picks up right away but the Move takes a while. Once it’s playing there are zero issues -

Sonos app failed to connect to any components my Sonos System (Two Beams - Gen 2  & 1 Move).Followed diagnostic instructions to turn off all 3 speakers, but one of the Beams did not re-connect.  One Beam successfully connected, as did the Move.Best Buy - Geek Squad is returning tomorrow morning to troubleshoot this latest connection failure.I’m beginning to think that this Sonos purchase was a very bad idea.  I cannot trust it to work properly, it has been unstable and not dependable. Every time I open the app, I’m fearful something else will go wrong. Not a very healthy way to live!     

Hi, does someone know if the batteries of the Move will live longer if they stay always on their stand ? What is the best to keep the battery life longer ? Thank you for your help !

Apologies for the long post.Let me first tell you first what I like about Sonos. Sonos products sound good and the user interface is very good. But time spent struggling when things should just work is wasted time. This was not an issue with Sonos... until my Move started failing last November after less than 2 years of ownership. In November, my Move just stopped playing. I have no idea why. I tried to fix it myself, spent hours online, here on the forum and with support. I gave up a few times but persevered. In December, I got it to work. I can't tell you how many reboots of Move, the router, etc etc I did. Or why it came around when it did. Once it started working again, I played it a few times over the Holidays. Then I bought a different portable speaker and stopped using Move for a few months. A few days ago, I sent music to Move for the first time since December. The charger was unplugged and its battery had run out. Plugging in the charger did not bring the speaker to life. Afte

Have 2 Sonos Move speakers. Can they function with a home theater bar (Arc or Beam) and be an extension for home theatre functionality? Thanks. 

Yesterday around 21:40, the Sonos Roam bugged started making a very intense loud and weird repetitive sound and was impossible to turn off by the application.Is there anyway to check the system as the device is bran new. thanks.

Recently I am running into an issue with a sonos roam. Playback is stopping as the wifi is unstable. I have changed nothing in my system and the roam worked perfectly before. All speakers except the roam and move are on sonosnet. I have moved a mesh speaker to beside the roam but that didn't help. The other roam and move both work perfectly. Diagnostics report is 1701542254

For a few days now, I’m unable to connect either my iPhone or iPad to my Roam SL via AirPlay. Symptoms: when Roam speaker is on, it does not show in the Sonos app when the Roam speaker is on, it shows that it’s asleep in the Sonos app When the Roam speaker is on, and I try to share audio via AirPlay from my device, the speaker is an option on the airplay list, but times out and does not connect What I’ve tried:a. powered off all devices and powering them back on, phone, iPad, Roam. b. Reset the Roam speaker c. Made sure all devices have the most recent OS and updatesd. Unpaired my Roam from my Sonos system and set the speaker up again via the set up process   Briefly after I completed step d above, I could play music on my speaker but it then dropped mid stream and I haven’t been able to play music it on it again. At this point I don’t know what else to do. Anyone have any suggestions ?   

I recently purchased two Sonos roams with the intention of pairing them to play music in stereo.They are both set up in the wifi system, will play music separately and together on AirPlay but when I follow the directions on my Sonos iOS app to link them I receive a message that reads first “searching for nearby products, make sure they are powered on…and then “two compatible speakers are required to add a stereo pair. Make sure your products are powered on and connected to wi-fi”.Am I missing something that needs to be done? Any help gratefully accepted

Hi- I'm trying to connect my TV via Bluetooth to my sonos system. Is that possible?

Have two Sonos Roam speakers, one without issue, works flawlessly. The other disconnects from the system on a regular basis requiring turning the speaker off and on and other times a reboot is required of the speaker. Have the speakers separated and near each other, same issue. Both on the same network, same issue. Always with the one speaker. The other as stated earlier, no issue.

I bought a Sonos roam for my frequent travels. Apparently, it’s not allowed to travel? Although it’s called roam? Here’s my issue: I get to a new place and I need to connect it to the wifi so I can use it with the TV. But in order to do that I need to factory reset it to connect it to the WiFi, because that’s a clean user experience. So I do that, but it simply won’t connect. Refuses. Now it’s a brick. Because if it isn’t connected via wifi, bluetooth doesn’t work. Am I missing something? I bought a portable speaker that doesn’t allow changing locations?

It seems that if I want to connect my Sonos roam to another device, I first have to forget the device on whichever device it was connected to previously before I can then connect to something else. If this is the case, it is most inconvenient. Means I have to remember which device I had it connected to, find that device, not just disconnect but forget device. Otherwise, unable to connect it to another device such as my iPhone or my iPad. Is this correct?
