I have a few shows from the BBC saved in my Sonos. The latest shows no longer can be found on my Sonos not when searching for them. It seems to only find shows from a month of so ago ..

When streaming from my iMac the music will stop with a message “unable to connect to //peterimac/music/

I am having Blu-ray audio issues.I am not using a receiver, so the ARC and Xbox are hooked directly into my LG B7A via HDMI (HDMI-ARC for the speaker).Everything on the Xbox is set up per the instructions on the Dolby app.On the TV, SIMPLINK (HDMI-CEC) is ON. If Digital Sound Out is set to AUTO I get menu audio but none for the movie. The only other option is PCM which gives me audio, but if I understand correctly that will not allow for Atmos.To compound my confusion, the issue doesn't seem consistent across disc format. I've tried multiple 4K Blu-ray and all worked on AUTO except for E.T. I've tried multiple standard Blu-ray and none worked except for The Haunting of Hill House. I've only tried one DVD so far, but it worked. Audio seems to work fine on all games and apps with the digital sound set to AUTO. I am lost on what else to try here.

I saw that this problem happened in the past (Nov) and has been resolved. However, I have tried to have SONOS play amazon music for 3 days now and could not get it to work. Music will play for a couple of seconds then stops with an error message-- “not coded correctly” or “cannot add to list”, or “amazon connection is lost”. I tried several things including re-authorize account and it did not work, May play a song or two then the same error mesg popped. In the meantime, play music on amazon app. seems working. checked and there is no service outage on amazon.  Submitted a diagnostic request #  3847523

Hi guys,  I'm currently running 2 x play 5s (2nd gen) and 1 sonos sub all at once, I have just purchased a sonos one to add treble to my tv set up but I can't link it all into 1 room, needs to be in a separate room, I use the plays 5x 2 and sub into the TV via an aux.  ANY help would be great.  Regards Saad 

I have a Port connected to an Audiolab 6000A amp in a rack in my garage, connected to speakers in the house.   The amp always starts at a default volume level of 0db. At this level, the Port’s output is very low and I either have run the Sonos App at near full volume or go out to the garage and turn the amp up manually every-time it’s turned on.  I’ve set up the 12v trigger so I can turn it on via Sonos in the house and don’t think I should have to trudge out to the garage to manually turn the volume up every time… Am I missing a trick? What’s the difference between Variable and Pass-Though output on the Port? I thought Pass Through was more for AV set ups (mine is just for music) but would this work better? Would the Amp be compatible?

We have a Sonos Playbar (+2.1) . Our current setup is DVD & Roku into an HDMI splitter, HDMI to TV, audio via optical to the Playbar.  It works reasonably well in 5.1 - there is some moderate lag depending on which app the Roku is looking playing (Amazon sync is frequently bad, Disney+ sometimes, too).We recently bought a new TV and I see it has an optical out. That opens up the possibility of taking the audio from the TV into the Playbar, instead of audio from the splitter.So, I wanted to ask: does anyone have any opinions about which is the best way to go?[Obviously the best way to tell would be to try, but I’m not up for a round of re-cabling right now. So I thought I’d ask, first.]

We have had Sonos for a long time. Have a Sonos 1 speaker, a 2nd generation CONNECT and a new SONOS MOVE speaker. We just purchased a new turntable, audio-technica AT-LP120XBT-USB and want to add it to our system. We have had a CONNECT 2ND generation and I was told it is workable with the new S2 Sonos app. Trying to set it up but S2 app not finding my CONNECT, HELP!

My Sonos One speakers skip and jump to the next track, with music services such as Audible or Idagio.  I've changed wireless channels, rebooted router.  It still is happening.  Any suggestions?

Hello. have Beam beneath TV and then 2xSonosOne SL either side of the sofa.  Set up and usage has been fine to date but recently the right SL began to drop out, and the left has followed. Issue is they keep disconnecting.  The beam is working and is successfully controlled by the television remote. I have reset wifi and used truplay to retune once I have (finally) managed to get the SLs identified. my diagnosis info number is - 1378416165  Welcome any guidance and tips.  

I have had a Sonos System working quite happily for years, comprising a number of play 1 speakers, a play 3 and a beam sound bar.recently the app has been very hit and miss about finding the devices and usually displays the message  unable to connect to sonos  I have tried plugging one in to Ethernet which did temporarily fix the issue but after a couple of days it was the same issue and even restarting the connected speaker didn’t restart the system. I’ve tried controlling it from multiple devices with the same issue.  Yet if I use the Spotify app all the devices are visible and can be used. I’m still using the s1 software but having seen so many people saying that their system has stopped working with Spotify on S2 that doesn’t seem a good move. Any ideas? 

I know this question has been posted several times, but the answers don't seem to be helping me. I have an Amp set up in my basement with 2 in ceiling speakers. The AMP is daisy chained to two more AMPs by ethernet cables, and then runs into a switch.It works fine as a stand alone room. Then, I added a beam, and a sub to the same room. The Beam (wired with ethernet or wireless) and the sub (wireless) work together for my TV, but I can't get the AMP speakers to work with them, and now that I tried adding the AMP speakers as surrounds, they no longer come on at all... Even if I try to use them as standalone. What am I missing. 

Trying to set up my new beam. have tried a few times but after about 5 mins it disappears from the room list and I have to do a factory reset.  each time I get as far as the connecting to TV stage but both Arc and optical fail every time. I have tried using a different HDMI cable that I know works.  I previously had a sound bar connected via optical so I know that output works on TV.  On arc the error message is interference but I still get this even will all other cables unplugged.  I can get sound form tv through the beam but not when the beam appears on the app.  help please

I've done some research but just want to make sure I'm right. I have an LG C9 TV,  Xbox One X, Apple TV 4K and a Nintendo Switch. For all my devices to work correctly with both 5.1 and Atmos I'll need to wait for the LPCM update from Sonos? I currently have the beam but I understand it'll never do LPCM 5.1 for my Nintendo Switch.Thank you :) 

Hi there,I’m having issues with multi-room and was curious if anyone can help me?I’ve had a Play:1 and One speaker for some time and received an additional One for Christmas. Since adding the new speaker I am unable to play all three simulatenouly (via the Sonos App & Spotify Connect) The problem seems to be with the older One Speaker in my Dining Room.My set up is as follows:Play:1 (Bathroom) One (Kitchen) *Newest Addtion* One (Dining Room) When I select all three rooms in the app they appear to be connected but my Dining Room doesn’t play any sound. However, as soon as I disconnect one of the three, the Dining Room starts playing again after 5 or so seconds. Same vice-versa - I’ll have the Kitchen and Dining Room synced and then as soon as a re-add the Bathroom, the Dining Room stops after 5 seconds. I have tried Airplay and all 3 work perfectly, but surely this can’t be the only solution?They’re all on the latest update and I’ve factory reset them and the problem still persits.

Can I make  tunein my default radio service on Google home.  Now if I ask to play BBC it defaults to I-Heart Radio.   I have to specify BBC channel, on tunein, on Sonos, in room.   I might as well just do it manually

I’ve just upgraded my TV from a Sony 4K to a Philips OLED 4K TV. Immediately I have found issues with the Audio sync, mainly the audio being behind the picture. The only true way to solve it, seems to be change the Audio out mode on the TV to stereo, not ideal when I have two Ones acting as surround speakers. There doesn’t seem to be a way to fix this, sometimes switching the TV on and off resolves. It just seems very odd that this has occurred with the new TV.   Pretty gutted at the moment :(

The Sonos S2 app won’t connect with Audible’s new Plus titles. The Sonos app still connects with and plays purchased titles. I regret changing from the Sonos app to S1 then S2 and should have left the Sonos app unchanged. Sonos support not available at this writing. Anyone else notice this issue? Thank you.

I have tried to add Google Assistant to my Sonos One’s, but it gets stuck trying to link the account in the mobile ios app.  I used to be able to set it up easily, but it is no longer the case.  I switched to Alexa for a time, but I would now like to go back to using google on my Sonos speakers. It appears the Sonos app will no longer directly communicate with the Google assistant app when trying to set up the voice assistant.  It will link over to the app store to open the app, but never affects any change to the google assistant app when you open it.  Meanwhile, the sonos app gets stuck in an endless loop waiting for authorization and finally times out and gives an error message: “There was a problem adding Google Assistant” with an option to “Try again”.  I can link the Sonos speakers directly in the Google Assistant app, but Sonos does not seem to recognize it.  I have tried every combination of work arounds I can think of, linking and unlinking, but it currently will not add.  I r

Until recently I have been able to playback recent BBC shows but this now seems no longer possible unless I airplay onto new Sonos kit.  Until recently it was feasible to search for the show and pick the recent episodes.  Any idea why and is there a workaround?

Hi, I’m hoping someone can help me with my issue.I have a Play 5, 2 One SLs, a Play 1, and a Move which were all working well with my Netgear Orbi Mesh network. Unfortunately, the Orbi died and I replaced it with an Asus Zen Wifi CT8 mesh router. I have the Play 5 directly wired to the router. Of course, the Move is connected via Wifi. All of the speakers appear in the app and function, but whenever I try to group the Move with another speaker, I get a pop-up saying:“Wireless range extender. Some Sonos products are using the WiFi from a range extender device. If you include one of these in a room group, you won’t be able to play music in that group. To ensure playback in all grouped rooms, you’ll need to permanently wire a Sonos product to the router.”Of course, I already have Sonos permanently connected to the router, and all of the speakers show WM:0 (except Move), indicating they’re using the SonosNet dedicated mesh system. I don’t have a range extender.The Move will function fine i

I'm trying to use a pair of OneSL and Five speakers as surrounds, for a total of four surround speakers plus an ARC. The app doesn't seem to support more than 2 surround speakers. Any suggestions?

My father passed two years ago and the speaker that is hooked up to the TV works. I'm trying to get the other three to work around the room but I have to log into the app and do not have access to the email that he used. What can I do? Two are small and same model, and one is huge with a huge space in the middle. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
