Hi all, I have tried updating my Sonos app, but the apple App Store no longer lists it as an active download, and doesn’t even have any reference to it. Does anyone know why?

This was working fine up until a day or so ago. Now when I say Alexa play “radio X,y,z” it starts to seem as though it will play back, but then says “hmmmm, it is not currently available” If I go into the app, whatever I have requested shows in the playback section, but paused, and if you hit the play button, it simple goes back to pause/not playing again. I have reset the whole thing, removed it from my Amazon account etc, but nothing has worked so far. Thanks for any help. 

Hi All,I just got a Beam Gen 2 for my living room (I’m living in an apartment, so the area is not that big) and I’m loving it. I want to improve the experience, so I want to get the Mini Sub or a pair of the ERA 100.In your opinion what will make more sense to get first, unfortunately I can’t get both now.I’m only watching movies or playing music, nothing really pro or specific.Thanks for the help!

Please stop the endless UI redesigns and pointless icon color changes (like switching between white and yellow for Night Mode/Speech Enhancement).Instead, focus on fixing core functionality. Right now, the volume slider box is completely broken — the touch target/hit-box is too small and it doesn't register immediately. It takes multiple attempts just to adjust the volume. This is a critical usability flaw for a premium system. Please fix the volume slider response.

Is there a way to turn the autopause feature off? I found it a bit 'sketchy' at times when wearing a beanie or hat of some sort. Which in these colder countries like Finland where i live is quite unavoidable to be without at times.  It 9 out of 10 times pauses if I turn my head a certain way if I'm wearing a hat. 

Hi all. I hope you can help.  I have had a Sonos system successfully for ages, and recently added a Roam SL. on set up all goes ok, and works for a while, then it decides to drop off the system. It is visible in the app, but whenever I try to play something it states “connection timed out” and I can’t see the volume slider - just a thin white line. i have sky broadband with a deco mesh system. I have a Sonos product plugged directly into the router.   

Anyone else getting this? When you click the play triangle, it shows the square stop for a moment (which shows when it’s playing), and then goes back to the play triangle. The infinite mix channels are fine, but Live on 1 and Live on 2 are not working.

Hello everyone I’m new to the Sonos community and would like some guidance before posting my issue.I’m currently experiencing a problem with my Sonos setup after recent changes/updates, and I’m not sure if it’s a settings issue, network issue, or something else.Has anyone else faced similar problems after updates, and what steps helped you resolve it?I’ve already tried basic troubleshooting like restarting the system and checking my network, but the issue is still there.Any advice or direction would be really appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Since the firmware update on April 14 (player version 94.1-76070), CEC control between my Sony Bravia XR-55A90J and Arc Ultra is broken. Audio via eARC works fine, but:    1.    No volume OSD – changing volume with the TV remote adjusts the Arc Ultra volume, but the TV no longer shows the on-screen volume indicator. This works intermittently at best.    2.    No standby sync – when I turn off the TV, the Arc Ultra does not power down. Instead it stays on with a green LED (muted), rather than going into standby.Both features worked correctly before the update.What I’ve tried (none resolved the issue):    •    Factory reset of the Arc Ultra + full re-setup via Sonos app    •    New certified Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 cable    •    Cold restart of both TV and Arc Ultra (unplugged from power, 60+ seconds)    •    Toggling Bravia Sync (CEC) off/on with cold restart in between    •    Removing all other HDMI devices (PC on HDMI 4)    •    Toggling eARC and passthrough mode settings on the TV

I have bought a Sonos Beam 2, and 2 ERA 100 speakers. I am not aiming for full surround sound per se, but 1 additional speaker in our kitchen (open plan with the living room - we can see TV form kitchen) and another at the back of the living room facing into the room from behind.Have tweaked the sound delay for the soundbar so it sounds more aligned and less delayed in the kitchen, still some level of reverb when too loud but it is a lot better.the sound sometimes drops from the ERAs (connected via wifi), I do have a wifi extender in the kitchen so wonder if my phone switching between the wifi network impacts this or if the speakers are only connected to the main wifi (i have not connected them to the extender - but maybe should consider that).

Dear Sonos community. I am currently in the situation of having issues with the center channel of my home theater setup. The dialogue in different media is sounding very muffled.Here’s what I have done to troubleshootGot help from Sonos support. After an hour of troubleshooting with them on the phone, they decided to send me a new Arc Ultra. Issue still remains after the receiving the new speaker unit, so ... I have used a specific youtube video to use as benchmarking the issue I tested the video from my Computer (It’s hooked up to the TV), youtube app from my Nvidia Shield, and also the Youtube app on LG TV. Same issue. However! The issue is not present when running the sound via Airplay. Dolby Atmos content is not affected by this issue. The media that I have without Dolby Atmos has this issue. This issue appeared recently (last two weeks), so can it be that an update for the Arc Ultra is causing this to happen? Thanks for the attention!

Hi Looking to upgrade my TV and also my Sonos Arc to Ultra version, have the issues been ironed out with firmware updates to the TV and Arc Ultra Apreciate your replies

Is brain fm available as a service in Sonos?

I have a combination of SONOS (Amp and One) and Apple speakers.  For various reasons, I almost exclusively use my computer as the “host” and airplay to the devices.  All the SONOS devices go to “sleep” after a period of time (several hours) even with music playing.  At that point they are “stuck” on the Apple Airplay selection list and I have to restart Apple Music to be able to select again.  Is this common?

This morning I received an email from Sonos indicating that I had purchased 2 amps.  They had my correct name, credit card number, and email address but wrong home/billing address.  I canceled my credit card and I think I was able to also cancel the purchase from Sonos.  I had recently (2 days ago) used that card to purchase an Andrew Bird substack subscription.  I know Andrew Bird has done some work for them.  I would like to know how this happened. I never made the purchase.

March ‘26 still no further. Wow!Still can’t get rid of the ‘red stripe’ device offline. Some settings may not be available.. Been ages now. Appalling! Didn’t really need to buy Alexa compatible speakers. Sonos, Alexa owes you a few...!If anybody has any fixes that aren't online, let me know.Jay Bullrich

Bonjour,Je possède 2 Era 100. J’ai voulu utiliser voice control pour enclencher une radio locale suisse via sonos radio. Elle existe puisque je peux l’utiliser via l’application sonos.

hi guys anybody having this issue msi blocking update cannot find what is causing this 

I have a sound issue that originates with my Panasonic UB 820-K blu-ray player.  It is dropping audio during playback and the fix is to use the dual hdmi outputs from the blu-ray.  One video hdmi out to the my TCL QM8L tv, and one audio hdmi out to the Sonos soundbar. Well the Sonos Arc Ultra only has one earc hdmi input.  How do I run a non-earc audio hdmi from my blu-ray player to the Arc Ultra? Thx

I have a LG OLED TV and ARC Ultra.  I have had this combination for almost 2 years with no issues.Recently, I have an issue where I turn off the TV and in a few seconds it turns back on.  This can happen multiple times, or sometimes only once.  But it does persist.The configuration and connections have not changed.My online research indicates a probable issue with a SONOS update that has triggered this issue.Does anyone have a suggestion?

My beam GEN one has stopped working. It doesn’t have any light or indication of power and will not reset.  

Hi - I have a mix of old and not so old speakers (Soundbar, Play One, Play 2, One Gen 2) and operating my Music library (iTunes) through my iMAC ………. and S2 Controller (I was advised on a remote session with Sonos Technician) to install S2 rather than S1). For some months (since a Sonos update?) I’ve not been able to correctly sync my music.Problems I now show on all devices (2 iPhones and the iMAC) duplicated Imported Playlists.  I can play either of any particular duplicated playlist through the iMAC ……….but not through the Controller on either phone.This has given me the run around for some time and tbh getting fed up with it.Happy to get this sorted on S2 or AS1, if someone can help overcome the issue, or alternatively to install a 3rd party app that works for all devices
