I have had a Beam with Ones in a stereo pair working rock solid for a few years. I also have a Five and a Move 2 and have had no issues at all. I’ve just added 2x Era 100s and a Sub mini to my setup. The Era 100s are in a stereo pair with the sub in one room (my office)At least once a day, the stereo pair drops/breaks down, with music just coming from one Era 100. The only way i can get it back together is to power cycle the speakers. I use the Sonos app mainly to play music but occasionally use Airplay and my Connect+Turntable. I’ve not noticed any cause+effect with the chosen source and stereo pair drops.My office has the router located in it, so the wifi signal is full strength. I have no other issues with my network or speakers.Any ideas why this is happening and how i resolve it please?

Gibt es eine Fernbedienung für Sonos?

Hi, for the last 3 weeks or so Sonos is constantly dropping out and losing connection. Sometimes it skips through tracks, other times it just stops playing. I also can not connect to Sonos speakers via the Spotify app. This all worked before and we haven’t changed our internet setup. Is anyone else having this problem? What can I do to fix it? 

I upgraded my Internet speed all five, but then they send me a new router.I haven't been able to install my beam 2.I tied reset reinstall the appWhen it chines it says it doesn't recognise it.There is NO sticker on the back/ base they're never was.Purchased 2-3 ago from reputable dealer..I swapped back to old router,TV etc all fine just beam won't install.I spent hours going crazy and getting frustrated..I still have the box etc but they're was no code that they tell you to put in if Chinese won't work. I was probably an idiot uninstall the app as settings are grey with only add new speaker or join system.I tried with the router it used to work with but no says can't find beam on that IP.Anybody thoughts thanks Richard.

Hi everyone,My Sonos Beam (Gen 2) suddenly stopped working while I was listening to music through the Sonos app. Since then:• The Sonos app no longer shows any installed devices or system setup• The Beam displays no LED indicators whatsoever — not even a faint light on power-up• I have tried plugging it into a different power outlet• I have tried a different power cable• I have attempted a factory reset, but the unit shows no response at allThe speaker appears to be completely unresponsive, as if it has no power — yet the outlets and cables I tested are working fine with other devices.Has anyone experienced this before? Could this be a hardware failure, or is there something else I can try before contacting Sonos support?Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have recently switched from Amazon Music to Tidal. I have linked the Tidal service in the Sonos app and can control using the Sonos app, I just can’t get Sonos to play Tidal music using voice commands (Sonos), I get the following back:“Sorry, Sonos voice control isn’t available for Tidal yet”.Can anyone help, or is just a limitation I have to live with?ThanksLee

Hi everyone. Just a quick question. I watch streaming channels Netflix, Disney, etc through a 4k Apple tv connected to my Sonos system, arc, 2 era 300's, sub mini. When I am not listening to Dolby Atmos it normally shows on the sonos app as pcm multichannel 5.1, I have found setting  it to Dolby digital 5.1 on the Apple box sounds louder & clearer but they recommend the other. Would be very interested in your thoughts & help. Many thanks.

Hello all.I have my mac mini connected to my bravia tv with hdmi and i have the tv connected to sonos amp over line in. When i play the movie my speakers connected to sonos amp give a lag of sound approximately 2-3 seconds. At the same time when i disconnect tv from sonos amp and play the sound through tv speakers it is perfectly synchronized. Anybody knows the reason why? Is it my tv giving the lag or is it sonos lagging?

I like that the dialog is very easy to hear without having to turn on any dialog adjustments. The problem is I barely hear the left and right channel audio. Background music is barely audible. I’ve tried it with both Trueplay turned on and off and there isn’t much improvement. I know the left/right channels are working because I hear music. Anyone else have this problem?

Since an update over a month ago, when setting or changing an alarm (On Android at least), the keyboard quickly pops up and then dissappears. It's impossible to change the numbers without going outside the app, copying the numbers you want in some other text box of an app, and then returning to the sonos app and fiddling with the text box until it highlights before I can attempt to paste it. I figured it would get worked out but it still hasn't, even after a new update. Is this bug known about or being worked on? It's been getting more and more frustrating as it goes on. 

My ERA 300 can't connect after the upgrade. I have tried rebooting the router, factory resetting the speakers, reinstalling the SONOS app, rebooting my mobile phone, turning off the mobile network on the phone, turning off private Wi-Fi addressing, etc.    Can someone assist with resolving the issue?

Since the last app update, I am no longer able to set the sleep timer when listening to Radio Paradise through the RP service. It isn’t an issue when playing any other content, nor even if listening to RP though TuneIn. The message on the pop-up tab which would normally display the sleep timer option as well as other options, states “Unable to load. Some information is missing from this content”.Is this a Sonos app issue or a problem with the RP service? 

I have two problems when setting alarms. The first is a recent one. When choosing a music source, I used to be able to choose from my whole set of services as an option. For instance I could pick a Spotify playlist or artist radio.  Now, I’m given a very narrow list of options with no detail ( like “playlist 1” for instance). Secondarily if I choose a Sirius Xm station, the alarm will revert back to Sonos chime. I understand the problem you got yourself Into with the botched rearchitecture, but why do you keep breaking simple tertiary features every time you make a change. 

New Era100 owner. I want to use voice control for BBC Radio stations (BBC Sounds).I do not want to use Alexa.Have I bought the wrong product?

I noticed that sometimes the content key changes the volume by 1 and other times it changes the volume by 4. Why does it do this?

When I turn off tv after a period the Sonos arc appears to select Sonos radio? A lot of American dialogue and songs and Although low volume it’s crap.drives you nuts .In the radio app the volume bars are at zero and I select radio songs at volume zero it’s exactly the same. Software is up to dateffs help please 🙏

have been happy with Move 2. - til now.  today it sounds “tinny” with a “far away” quality to the sound. Please help me fix this! >i have not changed anything.> Trueplay is ON.>Playing with equalizer (a poor one — make this better Sonos!) didn’t help.  How do i fix this please!!!

After the latest update i can no longer change the time for an alarm or set up a new alarm. All on a Samsung phone. The keyboard disappears before I can type any numbers. Don't people test these updates before they are rolled out?

At the end of each song, the volume comes Very High before transitioning to the next song? What cause that issue?

What do I need to hard wire my eras 100 to my Mac mini and achieve stereo. Thanks in advance.

Pro-ject carbon turntable to am/fm tuner to 5? I’m trying to figure out this setup. i have two 5s, currently with a line in from the turntable. I’m worried adding a tuner into the mix will bring issues with turntable audio quality without an amplifier. I purchased an ADCOM GTP 400, and it needs an antenna to work getting local broadcast l, but when I tried to play a record, it sounded awful.I want to stream local baseball games from time to time, so I want to keep the budget reasonable, but absolutely open to investing in quality equipment and can return the Adcom if I need something different. Any advice from the community?

As of a couple days ago I can no longer connect to PLEX.   I get“Something went wrong. Try Again” when click on artists from my favoritesand“No content items available” when clicking on Plex iconI can cast to my sonos speakers from the Plex app (not plexamp) on my computer.If gone through all the suggested steps I could find from the internet.  I guess my question is to see if anyone else is experiencing it or if it's just me (and for how long).  If its everyone, then hopefully its (another) screw up and they’ll get around to fixing it eventually. super frustrating that something that has worked for years just stopped working especially when its the reason I went with Sonos.

My Sonos beam 2nd gen. DOES NOT pair with my samsung android phone!

Is anyone having problems with the BBC Sounds and Sonos One SL speakers just keep stop playing. I have two older Sonos Play 1 and they are fine. I have had to reset the One SL speakers twice this week to even be able to see them on the App. But still won't keep playing. 

I’m installing a brand new entertainment center that will be very nice with stone and white oak.  I do NOT want a sound-bar mounted on the stone below the TV.  Therefore, I’m looking at in-ceiling speakers.  This is for a 5.1 setup (which I believe means I need two Sonos amps).  Everything I have read is that a center channel speaker in the ceiling isn’t ideal.  However, my guess is that most of those opinions are from serious audiophiles.  For a family room setup is it really that big of a deal?  If not, which speaker should I use for the center channel?
