Get help with your Sonos Roam, and Sonos Move
Recently active
I noticed this morning the battery was low on the Roam (amber status light), so placed it on the Sonos charging base. Just noticed the base itself has a flashing red light on front. Does anyone know what this means please?
Hello,Just bought a wireless charger for the Sonos Roam and it isn't long enough to reach the plug socket in the place I wish to put it. Is it possible to use an adaptor? Or will this impair the function? If it is possible are there any recommended ones or will the basic type they sell on Amazon suffice? Thanks in advance Matthew
I recently switched from using a Move for my external laptop speaker to a Roam to save space on my desktop.The Move always connected seamlessly and automatically with my laptop as the default audio regardless of whether the laptop had gone to sleep or was shut down and restarted. As long as the Move was on and in Bluetooth mode, it connected automatically.On the other hand, the Roam disconnects every time the laptop goes into standby, so I have to manually re-connect through the Windows 10 settings interface several times a day.I haven’t found settings I can tweak to fix the issue either in Windows or the Roam….I’d appreciate any thoughts on solutions to get the Roam to connect automatically via bluetooth as the default speaker just as the Move would. Thanks!
Is there something wrong with my Roam? I fully turn my Roam off after use (hold button in for 5 seconds until extended sound plays). However when I then went to use it, the battery had drained significantly and needed to be charged before use. So, I decided to run a test: 4 weeks ago I fully turned Roam off. 2 weeks later turned it on and battery at 100% - great. 2 weeks later battery now at just 95%??is this normal?
As stated in title. Any suggestions please?
Can I Bluetooth pair the Roam to my Iphone without wifi setup enabled?
Initially there was the software issue on BT Halo, re: 5ghz/2.4ghz connection. Now, and worse recently, connecting to it using Airplay 2 (from 3 iPads, an iMac M1 and 2x iPhones) is a nightmare! Even the Sonos S2 app takes ages to find it, tries to ‘fix it’ and stumbles along. Even when it’s next to the router. I originally planned to buy two for stereo (the internet evidently says not yet on this one) & hoped that Sonos would improve it’s functionality with Beam to provide surround option like its other products. All software is up to date. But at the moment I can only successfully use it at our house in Spain as a patio speaker! And a very expensive one.
Been trying to us new Sonos roam for a couple of days now and it is just so frustrating.I have the same issues as may others already listed on here.Sound plays for a short time then stops, when looking at app it says everything still playing.Have tried support who suggest I reboot my router.Not sure how this can help as the issue happens on both Wi-Fi and bluetooth. Had no issues with rest of my Sonos speakers.I’ve submitted another diagnostic 850834206. This was during the issue, not sure what difference it will make as support said my last diagnostic was fine.What I can’t understand is that this is obviously a common and known issue since launch by the looks of this forum, yet there is no answer. I’m not sure how this has not been mentioned in the many reviews I read prior to purchase.Looks like this may have to be a return as there doesn’t seem to be any answers here.
I bought my sonos roam 3 weeks ago and have struggled with it left right and centre. As far as I can tell there are 4 main problems The first problem I found was that the audio would spontaneously drop out while listening to video and sometimes any audio that isn't played through the sonos app. The second problem is that the bluetooth just doesn't work (excluding 2 days of it functioning last week) The third is that the sometimes the buttons just don’t do what they say they should do in the manual. Sometimes the power button doesn't work, the bluetooth never connects, the volume buttons sometimes don’t and I am yet to be able to use the smart assistant. The final problem I have found is that the device can't pair with other SONOS speakers, of which I own 8. I also think that sonos needed to be clearer that this speaker would force customers to upgrade to the Sonos S2 app as I basically can't use my Play 5’s anymore because they are incompatible with the S2 app. After being a long te
Hey everyoneIs there anyone else here having issues with Roam? I do, and hasn’t stopped since I bought it. It lasts no more than a couple of days connected to WiFi and then I need to reconfigure it again. Battery doesn’t lasts as much as Sonos claims. Microphone can’t be turned on (I guess is because Roam gets disconnected from network).I have other three Sonos products which have no issues, but this little guy has really disappointed me. And yesterday I decided to call Customer Supports which really wasn’t helpful at all claiming that I have a network issue which it is not. I have my home with a lot of smart devices and none has a single problem with network.I do really want to take it back because it has really a waste of money. Any thoughts?
I recently got a Roam, and am running into trouble with AirPlay over WiFI. When moving my Roam around the house, I get audio drop-outs and stutters. This happens when I move the speaker, and isn’t affected by the location of the audio source.I have a an Eero mesh system that consists of two Eero Pros that are connected to one another via gigabit ethernet hardwired backhaul, and a third Eero Pro that is connected wirelessly. They are not running any of the experimental features and it’s been a rock solid system for literally years with multiple devices.I looked at the eero app, and lo and behold the Roam does not (wait for it) roam between access points. It picks the one that’s closest to it at power-on (or possibly, the one it was closest to when originally set up), and does not switch.It seems like it’s a known issue that the Roam does not move between WiFi access points per this comment in another thread: Rebooting when moving it around kind of defeats the roaming ability of the Roam
Hello all, I think I got a faulty Roam, it was working fine till today, the led light flashes red, if I hook it to the charger, its a solid red. I’ve tried to reset it by long oressing all the buttons to no avail, unfortunately it seems Sonos has no customer service over the weekend in the US, anyone run into this issue? Any thoughts on gow to fix it, or am I stuck with a faulty Roam? Thanks in advance!
Since I updated to 13.4 - (which on my beam +ones works great with DTS btw), I’m finding it simply impossible to get my Roam pair to establish a stable connection.I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve tried to setup again from factory - but I always get the same issue, one of the pair goes offline after about 30 seconds.I have 2 APs in my home and I’ve tried on one of them in case this could be the issue but same result.
Hardware:1 x Sonos Move, 2 x Sonos Play:1, 1 x IKEA SYMFONSIKNetgear Nighthawk Mesh, with 1 x MR60 (router) and 2 x MS60 (satellites) Interaction between a controlling device (iOS device, e.g.) and the Sonos Move:If a controller and Sonos Move are attached to the same MS60 (mesh satellite), the Sonos app on the controller CANNOT see the Sonos Move. If a controller and Sonos Move are NOT attached to the same MS60 (mesh satellite), the Sonos app on the controller CAN see the Sonos Move.The other Sonos devices are always visible to a controller, regardless of mesh device association. This is consistently reproducible, and persists beyond repeated full resets of the Sonos Move. HELP!
