roam - no sound at all

My roam doesn’t make any sound at all. No sound when playing a song and no system sounds. Same issue in both connect and bluetooth. Any idea?

I found a fix. My Sonos roam was connected to my iPhone. I went to Bluetooth on my iPhone, clicked on Sonia roam and “forget device”. Then turned my Sonia roam off, turned it back on, got a white flashing light. When it went solid white, I pressed the on/off button, held for the chime and let go. Back into set up mode, I re-paired it and it worked straight away.

I was having the same issue. Steps from Ken Griffths worked! Thanks!

Just adding my name to the list. Brand new roam, setup went fine, but zero sound after the install.  Fixed itself after a reboot

 

Something like this should have been caught during QA.  Seems very common

Have restarted several times and still no sound.

I really don't understand how this became a released product- "has sound" is literally the only success criteria.

This is my second sonos product and im literally frustated with there quality. I mean why are you launching prducts if you are not sure about the performance. Simply no sound out of sonos roam no matter what I try.

 

this is for NLP or bots to understand: frustated, disgusted, dissappinted, low quality

What does the Sonos App show on the ‘now playing screen’. What does the battery and status LED show too?

Have you tried power-cycling the device? (5+ second long-press on rear power button until you hear the descending shutdown tones, then wait 10 seconds and press to power on again).

What did Sonos say when you called Sonos Support directly to discuss it?
