The list of Sonos speakers has suddenly disappeared from my iPhone so that I can no longer play direct from iPhone apps such as Spotify, Primephonic, Pocket Casts etc. although I can play exactly the same material if I use the Sonos App. What has gone wrong?

Hi how do I get move to connect to same ghz as the rest of the system? my move keeps either disappearing or showing as offline on the app. It’s connected to the internet ok, I just can’t control it via the app. apparently, according to support the move is on 5ghz with the rest of the system on 2.4ghz. That’s as much as I understand I’m afraid. thanks

I have been gifted Bang & Olufsen active speakers.  I want to connect them to my Sonos One but have no idea what kit I need to enable this.  I am not technically minded so be gentle with me!

Can someone please direct me to where I can find what the differences (spec / performance) are between the Gen 1 & 2 versions of the connect amp? I am looking to buy a couple of amps for some ceiling speakers (kitchen and dining room) - I’m hoping that connect amps will be sufficient. I’ve looked on line but can’t find what actually changed in the Gen 2. Thanks in advance. 

I currently have a Sonos Amp with two pairs of architectural speakers, two front and two rear basically left and right channel, connected to my TV via HDMI Arc cable.  Is it possible to add the Sonos Beam to act as a center channel not connected to the Amp and connected to the TV?

For the past few days I cannot reliably connect to SiriusXM on any of the apps (Phone, iPad, Mac desktop).  When I browse for SiriusXM channels I get messages like “unable to connect..” This has happened in the past and then for some reason it corrects itself days later. Why?

I am trying to set up my beam on a 2011 LG tv.  The tv manual says it's simplink supported but I can't actually select simplink (not an option).  This is the end of my knowledge of technology and need some help.  Can't I skip this?  I've selected the HDMI /arc but that's as far as I can go. Thanks!

Hi,Got a new Sonos Arc SL, complete with two One SL and a sub gen3. It is connected to Vizio tv e601i-a3 using the provided HDMI cable to the HDMI 1 slot in the tv, which is the only ARC slot available. In HDMI 2 I have a Fire TV cube. The problem, neither the Sonos app nor the tv recognize the CEC function. Initially, when it was fist setup everything worked and the tv recognized CEC. Now, when I try to discover CEC devices it does not discover the Sonos Arc nor the Amazon Cube, both CEC devices. At this point I'm leaning towards a problem with the TV, that is a bit old.FYI - Everything works… Sound and surround works, comes out in Dolby, but the app does not connect to the TV (below pic of error), nor the TV recognize the CEC function; it does not matter how many times I do it. I found a work around to set up the TV remote with the app, so I can control the soundbar volume with te remotes, but other CEC functions do not work. Again, in functionality you cannot spot the error, it just

Hi,I have just bought my second Sonos - Beam. First Sonos I have is One SL and it is located in bedroom (1st floor in detached house). Due to floors I have one router (utility room) and two access points - on each floor. All works fine, one WIFI.When I am on ground floor I only can see Beam (living room), when I go upstairs my system reload and I can see only One SL. I understand it is because of wifi from AP (when I am in living room, system can’t see One SL from bedroom - it is in the range of AP on 1st floor). It works fine, and relod is smooth but there is a problem with my wife’s iphone. She has Sonos S2 app too and it is signed to the same account (my account). The same mail and password. But we still can’t see Beam on her phone. In the same time I see it on my phone (and by account on web by laptop, both Sonons are online) and on her iphone there is still only One SL. Why? What can we do? System “can’t see” Beam when I try to add it by her phone. Of course we are for 100% in one

Unfortunately I’m not a tv wiz at all , any help ? Also I seen on YouTube u can buy a device called fury cavana which can give u dolby atmos ? Any help appreciated  

Hello,I have a Beam and a Sub hooked up to a 2019 Samsung Q7DR.I actually have two questions. See below.ISSUE 1:When using the Spotify app from the TV’s menu, I can’t get Dolby Digital. PCM Is the only option.When I use the Xbox One’s Spotify app, I get Dolby Digital sound.Also, the DD sound works through other apps such as Netflix and Youtube. ISSUE 2:Often when I pause something or turn the TV off and then on, the Beam resets the volume to zero.I don’t think this is a consistent thing, but I’m not really sure. Thanks!

Hi AllI am shortly joining the world of Sonos (Arc soundbar, Sub and a couple of Ones as rear speakers) but an unsure about the best way to connect my turntable to the system. I want to use the speakers detailed above to play my music through and don’t want separate speakers for the turntable (which I have currently). The turntable has a built-in pre amp. What’s the best way to connect this to the Sonos system - I’ve seen the Amp and Port, would one of these be the way to do it?Thank you!

Good morning all,I'm new to this community, your help and advise would greatly appreciated. I have recently setup a new setup which consists of Bt Full fibre to house Fttp. Draytek AP1000C x 3 and a Draytek 48port PoE switch. I decided to separate the 2.4ghz and the 5ghz as I wanted to know which bandwidth i am connecting too. Yesterday, I setup my Sonos home cinema system to the 2.4ghz  SSID. It all works fine as long as im on that SSID, however if I then chose to move over to the 5ghz SSID it doesn't see a network and Sonos will not connect on my mobile phone. Sonos system is wifi only no ethernet connected.Please can you advise if is it possible for the Sonos controller to work on both SSID.  My system comprises of a Playbar with sub 2 xSonos one (Gen 2) surround (TV Room)Additionally for music only.Sonos play 5 (Gen2) x 2 loungeSonos one (Gen 2) x 2 office and bedroom

Hi guys,we just purchased our SONOS ARC 3 days ago and are using it with a 2020 Samsung Q95T QLED TV, plugged into the OneConnect box via the e-EARC slot.  Sound Performance wise the sound bar is great all features including ATMOS are working fine.  The issue we are having with ours is that once per day when turning the TV on the sound is cutting in and out repeatedly. We will get sound for about 2 seconds then it cuts out for about 5-10 seconds, rinse repeat. Turning the power for the ARC off then back on at the power switch fixes this issue. But this is the second day in a row the issue has occurred and I am worried that this will start happening more often, it’s a new sound bar + TV this shouldn’t be a thing.Is anyone else experiencing this issue with their ARC? thanks in advance

Hi,I cannot add Google Assistant to my Sonos. I have one beam and two one setup as surround system.So far I have tried resetting all sonos and try to add google when only one unit was enable, tried different sonos and google assistant account, tried adding google sonos from different IOs devices but every single time when sonos switches over to google assistant I get error message that they might a problem….  

After I changed the email for my napster account  password, my songs,stations, etc stop loading on sonos. I realized I hadn’t changed my sonos email address so I just did that, hoping it would fix the problem.  However, when I go to settings on Sonos, my new email appears as “name” and my old email is “account login.”  Settings allows you to edit your name or password but not the account login. Help. 

I have two home theaters, one each for each of my TVs, made up of a Beam, Sub and two One SLs. Both are working fine. However, on one the status lights are green when audio is coming from the TV. On the other the status lights are off when audio is coming from the TV. The TVs are the same model and the Beams are connected to the respective HDMI ARC input. In the Sonos app I’ve switched the status light toggle to off for all devices. Does anyone know why one setup shows green lights and the other doesn’t?
