I have quite a complex setup of:3 Sonos Ones w/ Alexa in individual rooms2 Sonos ones (w/o Alexa) and a sonos beam w/Alexa as a surround sound A bedroom with a playbarA boost Every single Sonos/Alexa product requires me to ask Alexa twice to do anything. It’s quite interesting. Any ideas please? 

Why my sonos one gen 2 connect to wifi for 2 minutes and then lost for 10 days?

Hi, I have run into some issues with my Sonos and Spotify. Sonos can’t add songs to the queue, sometimes Sonos can’t connect to Spotify, I have seen errors 701 and 1001. I have searched through the support pages and have tried to solve it myself first. What have I missed?I have two Sonos play 1’s and a sub in one group, and another Play 1 in a different group (room).  Here’s what I already tried:Reset/reboot routerRestart Sonos hardwareAssign static Ip'sReinstall Sonos appAlso all of the above in different order I should mention that it has worked without problems for years. I have the problems a few weeks now. I have sent a diagnostics report to Sonos (1635708822). I don't know if any of you have access to that? It's a report just a few minutes after restarting router and sonos, and the problems where there… I am hoping for some insight from you :-) Thanks!

In my living room, I have a TV with Playbar and a turntable connected to a new AMP (all Sonos S2).It appears impossible to use the AMP as surround speakers for the Playbar, without losing the turntable input. Any suggestions? Currently, I can of course group the Playbar and AMP, but that’s not the same as a proper surround setup.Should I convert the turntable signal to optical and then put an optical switch in from of the Playbar? Any other ideas??

Hi,Sure this will be an easy one, and thanks in advance for the info.…I recently bought a beam, 2 x ones (will get the sub soon) I have one “one” in the lounge, other on the kitchen bar, as open plan / linked rooms….I like hearing the TV whilst prepping dinner, but I am going to put the kitchen one in the lounge so the surround is being utilized and sounds better. But here’s the question…..I want to buy another “one” for the kitchen, but will I be able to listen / hear the TV output even though it won’t be part of the beam 5.1 surround set up? Thank you in advance.

Bonjour,J’aimerai pouvoir encore profiter de ma platine CD (j’ai l’ampli qui va avec si il est encore utile ?)Mais j’aimerai que le son sorte sur mes enceintes sonos (plusieurs “Sonos : 1” et “Sonos 1 SL”), quel est le sonos le mieux adapté : AMP ou PORT ?Merci d’avance pour votre aide

Did Sonos discontinue the background imags/screensaver on TVs? I used to have it on my beam but when I select that HDMI it doesn’t show anything amymore. Can you re-enable this setting somehow?

Hi,I hope someone can help me solve my connection issues because I'm desperate, Sonos hotline and chat were unable to find the solution.I have 7 Sonos products :- 1 Beam wire plugged with 2 Play:1 as satellites (WiFi)- 2 Play:1 on WiFi- 1 Play:3 on WiFi- 1 One on WiFiI use an Asus rt-ac68u as main router :- The ISP box doesn't have WiFi nor DHCP functionality enabled, it is wired to the WAN port of the Asus.- The Asus has DHCP enabled and all Sonos devices have fixed IP assigned outside of the DHCP range.- The 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi of the Asus is on band 20/40Mhz, currently channel 3 (I tried them all one by one).Since 3 months I keep having connection issues, it has been working just during 2 years before that. Sonos devices disconect during few seconds or few minutes and then come back (or not). It is totally random and happens on WiFi devices but also on the Beam that is wired. It happens on local music (HD plugged on the router) and on phone library (OnePlus 8T). Sometimes when I try to rem

Hi, I’m trying to optimize my home WiFi networks. I have two running: one is off of the Comcast router, the second runs an Orbi mesh network (it’s a 3-story, narrow rowhome). Most of my devices run off of the Orbi network (which is connected to the cable router via an unmanaged switch). Since it’s a 3 story home, I purchased a Sonos Boost to support speakers on every floor. And of course the router is on the ground floor.Does it make sense to put the Boost onto the cable router (through the network switch), or with most other WiFi devices, into one of the Orbi devices? Can the boost work as a wireless bridge (the documentation is vague), in which case I could put it on the second floor? Finally, can most of the devices in the home (including the iOS controller and Alexa, be on a different WiFi network than Sonos?)I’m trying to figure out how best to configure this, and would really appreciate your advice! Thanks all...

Hi, I would like report a bug with the way that Sonos devices handle HTTP Live Streaming URLs. I oversee the streaming for this radio station URL:https://stream.jpbgdigital.com/CJZN.m3u8 It includes 4 audio segments in the playlist, and uses this header to indicate that stream playback should begin from the very first segment:#EXT-X-START:TIME-OFFSET=0 However we’re hearing from listeners that Sonos devices are consistently starting the stream from the 2nd segment in the list and missing the first few seconds of audio. I’ve also been able to reproduce this on my Sonos One. There is more information on this header within the HLS RFC spec here:https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8216#page-36 I’m happy to do any testing to help facilitate a fix here. Thanks,Andrew

I updated to the S2 app on mobile and laptop and now I can’t play anything that isn’t streaming through Spotify. And the only reason I can do that is bc I do it through Spotify Connect NOT the S2 app. What are my options here? There’s absolutely nothing wrong on my end, I’ve already tried the general troubleshooting steps and the fact that the Sonos player works through a non-Sonos application indicates the app is the problem.   

So, I’ve ripped out my very dated entertainment center builtin and and rebuilding it.  I’m strongly considering an Arc/Sub/Surrounds solution for cleanliness, and frankly, the cost is appealing.  However, I have an 18ft steeply angled ceiling.  Can Trueplay compensate for this?  My other option is to stick with an AVR receiver and install pendant speakers so I can normalize the height of left and right. Anyone using an Arc with angled ceilings?

I have a LG CX and what to mount it to my wall.  But I have a lot of questions?  I am using this mount fo LG https://www.vogels.com/en-us/c/thin-505-extrathin-fixed-tv-wall-mountI have read this:When wall-mounting, it is recommended to have a clearance of at least 5.5 inches between the TV and Arc. As per important safety information one of the lists states; Do not block any ventilation openings. Leave a recommended space of 4“ (10cm) around the unit.How high should I mount my LG to the wall? How high should I mount my arc? Which mount for ARC?  Should I get the mount that can extend 2 inches?  https://www.sanus.com/en_US/products/mounts/wssatm1/ or get the flat mount?  I want the arc to be as closed to wall as possible. Do I need a mount that has magnet? Once I get my TV Mounted, I should mount arc 4inch or 5.5 inch below TV?   it is recommended to have a clearance of at least 5.5 inches.  Any hints or suggestion would be great.Thank you!

Hi AllI Have a Sony Bravia and Sonos Home speaker setup.I have my own music that i like and listen to and have no particular interest in other types of music.So i don't want to pay Deezer Spotify Amazon etc etc for the privilege of listening to the music i already own….!I was using Google Play and this was working great then we were all forced in to YTM and now the Bravia does not show any of my playlists albums artists let alone plat anything so you can imagine how unimpressed i am !!There are no other apps that support upload of music (iBroadcast being the one exception but that does not have an Android compatible App at the mo..)So i'm thinking of setting up a very small NAS box (only need a single disk) The Music app on the Bravia detects the Beam and looks for a music library on its IP address (of which i dont have one right now) Can anyone recommend something that works is compact, small (1-2 drive bays) and relatively inexpensive !!Does this plug directly in to the back of the B

Possiedo due casse Symfonisk Ikea Sonos in configurazione stereo, ho ordinato un Sonos Sub 3^gen. Se acquistassi un televisore Samsung o LG compatibili Airplay 2, utilizzando le App del televisore quali Now Tv, Netflix, Amazon, Apple tv, etc. posso trasmettere il suono (senza aggiungere altri dispositivi tipo soundbar beam che tramite il cavo hdmi arc potrebbe farlo) al mio impianto Sonos. I televisori con Airplay 2 “a bordo” sono in grado di trasmettere l’audio o possono solo ricevere con Airplay ?

Sometimes, I like to use Logitech Media Server (LMS) in addition to the Sonos app to control my Sonos devices. I have Sonos Move and a Sonos Play 5 (2nd edition). I installed a plugin in LMS called “UPNP/DLNA bridge”, so I can use desktop LMS and an app on my iPhone called Ipeng to control non-Squeezebox devices, including my 2 Sonos devices.After installing the bridge plugin, I was able to initially see both my Sonos Move and my Sonos Play 5.However, after about an hour, the Sonos Move disappeared from the list of available devices in LMS. What’s strange is that I can still view Sonos Play 5 and my Samsung TV (in addition to my Squeezebox Boom and Squeezebox Radio) in LMS.When I open the list of plugins, under the list of "Players currently in the configuration file", the Sonos Move still is listed. I've tried hitting the "restart" button next to "Start the Bridge" but didn't work. I also tried rebooting the Sonos Move too. I can view both Sonos devices in my Sonos app, but again, I c

Hi community, I have a Sonos play 5 2nd gen and a Sonos play 1. I changed my wifi provider and password and now it won’t connect unless connected to the router with Ethernet. Has anyone found the solution to this as I see it’s a common problem, if not, can someone sent me the European number to contact Sonos? thanks.

Hi, I’m testing out Apple Music, and have noticed that the only songs that show up are those in my library (instead of the all the songs on the service). Is this expected behavior? With YouTube Music, for example, I can search for and play any song in their catalog.  Clicking into “My Library” for Apple Music shows more results, but none that match the song. I was able to open the Apple Music app and find the song in their catalog, so they do have it available for streaming. I submitted a diagnostic report: 988653685 Here’s a sample screenshot of the search results: 

My Symfonisk speaker was working fine until a few months ago. Then it started to not being visible from the app (or being seen over AirPlay2). Only after force killing and restarting the app a few times the unit would wake up and become visible. Now this is not happening anymore, so I decided to reset and reconfigure the unit. The app finds the unit and seems to start configuration (sound is playing) but after a while it says that it lost connection, to power down and then on again the Symfonisk unit. Went through the process many times but always same results. Things already tried based on other posts found in the community: moved speaker closer to the router connected speaker to router via ethernet cable deleted and reinstalled app on my iPhoneDoes anyone have an idea of how to solve this problem?

I just got a new network set up in my house and after spending 90 minutes on the phone with Sonos customer support, I learned that using the Sonos2 app, I can no longer connect my Samsung “Frame” tv to my Sonos Sound bar using the optical cable.  Apparently, the new Sonos2 app requires HDMI.  FOr those that don;t know what the Frame is, it’s a TV that looks like a picture frame on the wall.  There is a very thin almost invisible optical cable that runs from the bottom of this picture “Frame” to the box.  I am not going to plug in a ugly thick HDMI cable to the back of the TV. Sonos needs to fix this ASAP!  I had no problems with Sonos1.  At least bring back Sonos1 so I can get my TV hooked up to quality sound.
