Hi I am having issues with my S1 app and my play 5 Gen 1. I have tried connecting the play 5 to the S2 app but it telling me that it is not compatible and when I now try to open the S1 app it move to the S2. Can I connect the play 5 to the new controller or how do I get the S1 app to work. Clearly there has been some upgrades that have put a spanner in the works?

We have about 12 Play 1 speakers separated in 3 floor offices, all controlled via the Sonos app with a single account. The issue is that users, instead of playing the Group that correspond to their area, they keep going to the main sonos system and start messing up with the music in all of the offices Is it possible to have a separated account on the sonos app per group? so they don’t interfier to one another?  Thank you!

I’ve accepted that I now have to reset my MacOS 17.0 desktop app twice/day (when i bring my laptop to work and then back home).  It’s annoying, but whatever.However, riddle me this - my Music folder shows up at work, yet, at home, I am “unable to add (913)”.Same laptop, same app.  Just different locations and different “systems”.

Hi,Advice from anyone positioning Era100’s as surrounds in the corner of the room please. Room is 188 x 124 inches, on one of the longer walls there is a 64 inch tv mounted on the wall in the exact centre with a Sonos Arc on a unit underneath (again in the exact centre).On the opposite wall is the couch (positioned against the wall) which is off centre due to a door, the left seat of the couch (which is the main listening position) is directly opposite the centre of the tv / Arc. I’ve got duel subs and enjoy the sound, but would like to add surrounds. For aesthetic reasons I’d prefer the Era 100’s over the 300’s, and to wall mount them in the corners of the same wall as the couch just above head height. I’ve been looking at the Flexson Wall Mount which enable me to fit into a corner, plus has a small degree of horizontal swivel so I can turn towards the listening position  I appreciate this will have an impact on the sound quality, but has anyone any experience of this positioning - is

Both of my moves willl not charge. Any suggestions 

What is the best way to manage double disks in my Music Library in Sonos?  I set the disk number to 1 and 2 in “Tag & Rename”, but this seems to be ignored by Sonos. I then set the track numbers to 101, 102, ...201, 202… but that did not work either in Sonos.  It seems that I have to include double CDs as two separate CDs, which is not ideal.  

I need to do some troubleshooting of a family member’s Sonos system I set up. This second system is in a different location. Can I change the iPhone Sonos app login to log in to this system (I have the username and password since I originally set up that system) without interfering with my own home system? 

I have no way of adjusting the volume on a stereo pair of Play 3’s. They are not grouped. It says Stereo Pair Recent HistoryI just changed broadband providers however my router was connected to a mesh network that provided its own network (wifi and LAN) to Sonos and the Wifi was turned off on the router as it is now. When the broadband changed two days ago I had no issues, initially, with Sonos. However, the next morning I noticed that the Arc Ultra was not working and I had to power it off and on for it to re-add. That fixed the issue Then last night I was playing some music late at night and I tend to play it on all devices and i could hear the bedroom stereo pair really loudly Before the router change I had taken the two 3’s off the system as surronds to my Arc (not Ultra) and set them up as a stereo pair. That worked okay. So back to last night. I went to lower the volume on the stereo pair and there was no volume control.They just played very loud. As I type this, and check my fac

My config is a Sonos5 and Sonos One with a Technics SL23 (just completely rebuilt and certified) and a phono preamp.  The output from the 5 is very low and there is no audio from the One.  The room is configured correctly as using Pandora works just fine with music well balanced between the speakers.any help is appreciated 

Hello,I'm recently bought a pair of Era 100 and I added these as a surround speakers for my Ray with a Sub mini but I don't have the stands for the speakers but in a weeks I'm going moving to another house and there I can pit the speakers on the wall but while I want to use the surround speakers in front at the same height of the soundbar and using the reflections of the lateral walls can listen like there are closely back or minimum more spaciality, my room is almost a square it's 3.75m high and 3.95m wide (12.3ft x 13ft) and my soundbar is like in 20cm in front the wall so is remaining only 3.55m and my spot of listening is 1.5m of the soundbar, can any give me some solutions or tips for this, and configurations in the app? PD: Sorry if my English isn't the best I'm Mexican and I don't speak English natively :)

I have been trying to setup my SONOS ONE SL with Alexa skills (yes I know it doesn’t have a microphone) but both my echo dot 1 and echo dot latest gen have mics so I can give commands from them. Problem is I have disabled and deleted the skill and try to re-enable but whatever I do it doesn’t work and Alexa doesn’t seem to be able to find the device although the Sonos app is working normally. 

Often when connected to my sonos era 100 via Bluetooth and trying to play media, the media app will say it is playing but the speaker makes no sound. Sometimes turning the speaker off and on again will fix the issue. The speaker is not muted, and the phone and speaker are connected to the same wifi network. I can get the speaker to play a chime in the sonos app, so I don't believe it is a connection issue. This happens often enough that it's a real hassle. Anyone had this problem and successfully fixed it?

Hi, allCan I use two Era 100s as front left and right speakers together with a Beam, Sub Mini and two Play 1, to enrich the front soundstage in a 5.1 setup?Thanks.

i have downstairs rooms running on S2.  5 bedrooms all have Play 5s running on S1 system. It used to work ok. But when I open the S1 app all it does is find the S2 system and tell me to switch to the S2 app. It happens on all my devices. I used to have many more Sonos devices, including in other properties. I’ve sold them all since the Sonos S2 introduction fiasco. 

Is it true that using your headphones with the arc ultrasound bar you cannot simultaneously listen through the sound bar?

Please can this be added as a feature? like many my plugs are behind heavy furniture and are hard to get to.  Unplugging from the speaker end is also tricky as the cable is connected very snuggly. If I only had to restart them once in a while, this would be ok.  Currently I have to restart them every couple of weeks to keep Apple AirPlay working. Many thanks,Danni.

Before Sonos “updated/downgraded” its IOS app, it was possible to add a song I was listening to one of my Deezer playlists. This is no longer possible in the IOS app… but you can still do it if you use the desktop app!!!!Sonos… please put back this feature on the IOS app, this would make our user experience and journey so much better! 

I have bought in total 4 Symfonisks about a year ago. In theory they work fine but they have only seem to be getting worse in terms of music playback.My setup is only those symfonisks. I have one (symf1) hardwired to ethernet as it is close to the router. I don't have a very big house and it is all one floor, the furthest 1 symfonisk is, is at about 12 m (symf4, with direct line 4 walls in between. Furthermore, another one is in the bedroom at about 8 m with 2 walls inbetween both the symf1 as well as the router. I have tried also removing the ethernet (symf1) and rebooting all symfs but this didn't not help.I also tried putting all of them on 2.4GHz.They have switches over to Sonosnet a couple of times but it seems that they dont always keep that configuration.My wifi is really stable and high speed with low latency. All devices stay connected and have 0 issues with video calls. Also manual pinging shows consistently low values (<10ms with most of them 1-2ms). The issues I am getti

Hello,could you please help me solve these character issues with Alexa. I can rename it but description still with special character error.what’s wrong and what is this device.Even if it’s disable I can control TV !!thanks  

HiI have a problem with Era 100 pair when I airplay music from Apple Music. For some reason right speakers cuts out for a second or two. I have tried to stream with Bluetooth and then there is no cutting out. If I airplay it to another system on network there is no cutting outs. So only problem seems to be with Eras

In the past could have days every attempt to do anything in the Sonos app times out.  It doesn’t read my record player anymore, and the simple task of changing music preferences times out.    I have fantastic internet.. so it’s not me.   What’s happened?   I really don’t want to go through another badly planned upgrade. 

Specifically on the Youtube Music Service.The errors on Sonos app appear as a playback error then skips the song.“Playback paused because your account is being used in another location.”(You can see this for yourself, just try and play the album through your sonos.)Link to Album Playlist - Youtube This is sure to a viewer discretion pop up which cannot be disabled.  

Can anyone advise whether it is possible to save the current queue as a Sonos playlist using the IOS App?If yes, then could you please describe how to do this - I can’t find any option to achieve this basic function?If no, then why not?  Surely this basic function that was in the old App should be included?  If I’ve built myself a really nice set of songs in the queue how am I supposed to save it for future listening?  The only way I can see at present is to select each track in the queue individually and select ‘add to playlist’, which is a pretty sub-optimal solution?

I want to buy 2 sets of Sonos in ceiling speakers can one AMP run each set separately so I can shut one set off when not needed
