I frequently find that the spotify app within Sonos not only does not refresh my own playlists, but now I'm finding it's not even loading all of the results on Spotify's own server. For example, search for "Taylor Swift" Her new album Red is available within Spotify, but if you search Spotify within Sonos, it is nowhere to be found.

Need these to pair for surround sound

I added a new Alexa Sonos One speaker to 4 existing Sonos One speakers. Alexa plays music to all 5 speakers with Amazon Music but only controls the volume on the Alexa enabled speaker so I have to use the app on my I Phone 6s to control the volume. I found info in the support pages that say I need to go to the rooms tab and tap group to link them all but the Room Settings in the I Phone App does not give me any such option. Any advice. There is really no point in having Alexa if I have to carry my I Phone around the house to control the volume. Any help would be appreciated.

Couldn't find any answer to my following question in the community so far. Has anyone ever compared the sound quality of 2x Play:5s versus 2x good quality stereo speakers connected to a receiver, connected to Sonos Connect I have a Marantz NR1605 and was thinking about adding speakers in middle to upper range such as KEF Q300 or slightly below. Not sure if I need an additional power amp, but let's assume that not. I'd just be interested if anyone had experienced both and can give an advice. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have 2 x Play:5's One plays ok but just the tweeters. I have tried changing the eq setting to full base and no treble but it still sounds the same. Ther is no change after a restet either. The other Play:5 is working well and has a full base sound. Does this mean that one Play:5 has lost/blown the base speaker?

Time frame for Alexa availability in Canada?

It's been a few months without having [b]*Favorites[/b] listed in the App and I find I use the desktop controller most of the time now as this is the only way of seeing them in a straight vertical list. If they could just be added back as a menu item at the top of the Browse tab in the App that would be great, or even better as an option to replace the My Sonos tab with a *Favorites list?

Bonjour, Comment connecter un Iport Connect a un réseau WiFi utilisant un Boost ? Cordialement. Bernard.A

I hab=ve the above NUVO system and I am trying to replace an iPod dock with a SONOS Connect. Should be as simple as unplugging the dock and plugging that connection to the Connect. BUT all I get is a rhythmic thumping from my system. Any suggestions? I know the NUVO is an old system but it is working OK

Hi I have the sonos one and Alexa just became supported for it in Canada. my Alexa does not seem to respond to any skill command. It only plays amazon music and gives weather / newsflashes. No skills I added are working. secondly, I cannot find the Sirius XM application in the skills menu. Sirius stated that the skill should be there for Canada. So I need help getting the Sirius skill and having the skills work

HI, when should we expect the Sonos Skill in Canada, can't wait to have voice control of my system.

Hi, I currently have all of my music on Google Play, is there (or will there) be any way for this to be played using Alexa? The reason why it is on Google Play is that I have all my CDs ripped and uploaded (as Google provide more songs than Amazon does). I understand that Amazon and Google are rivals but from my understand how this works is that the command is sent to Sonos API, so could this work? Thanks.

What’s the point updating and then finding problems. This morning I have updated my sonos app only to find I do not have any any music commands another than volume when using Alexa. Tried removing the Sonos skill app and reinstalling , no luck.

I have been stomped for days pondering about why Amazon has not release Alexa yet in Canada. I really hope it is not because of new privacy legislations that has been brought up. I probably am on the wrong forum about this and find an Amazon dedicated forum. But does anyone know why or if Alexa is launching soon in Canada?

Surface Pro 3 running Windows 10, Sonos application version 8.4, build 41350131. When the application is opened and any results are returned in the right-hand pane, the pane does not show the scroll bar to enable you to scroll through the results. None of the panes can be resized to enable to the scroll bar to be resized. Maximising or minimising the application does not resolve the issue. The user is unable to scroll through the list of results returned, unless using screen touch to drag the results.

When will Alexa be available in Canada?

So recently I have noticed that whenever Alexa uses the hot word in her explanations she triggers herself, stops talking and starts to listen again. For example: you have the skill "Question of the day". When you're done with the skill, Alexa always says something in the way of: "You can play again tomorrow by saying Alexa"... At this point Alexa hears the hot word and stops the explanation. Is there any way to resolve this issue?

I'm having a slight problem getting Alexa to play a particular radio station that I request in the UK. Previously without issues, I've been able to ask Alexa to "play Absolute Radio in the lounge" for example and Alexa replies "Absolute radio from Tunein playing on lounge". It then proceeds to play Absolute Radio. However today, every time I give the same command "Alexa play Absolute Radio in the lounge" I get the reply "Absolute Radio 70's from Tunein playing on lounge" and the incorrect station - "Absolute Radio 70's" plays??? Doesn't matter which Alexa device I give the commands to or which Sonos speaker I ask it to play on. I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem? Or possibly, could somebody else in the UK try it and see if they are getting the same result? I am still able to play Absolute Radio through the Sonos app. Thanks

If I have a record player plugged into a decent amp then into the Connect do I get a better sound quality than if I plugged the record player straight into the Connect. Or does the amp built into the sonos speaker take priority over whatever is plugged into it. ie if I had a super duper amp would it be a waste plugging that into the connect or should I just get a cheapo amp. I will also drive a cd player and airport express and an arcam miniblink for bluetooth through the amp into the Connect. Is there a cap at which it makes no difference what kind of amp you have running all those bits through as the Sonos PLay 5 amp will max out and only play sound quality of a certain level.

Are there any wi-fi enabled amps that are sonos compatible, i.e that don’t require a Connect to wirelessly speak to a speaker?

Recently I've been experiencing a problem whereby my 2 Play3 speakers, which are connected as Surround speakers to my Playbar, regularly cut-out and fall silent for about 20 seconds, before coming back on again. How can I fix this issue?

Where is the setting to view albums as a list instead of a tiled layout? I can't find it. I have a few artists with many, many albums and, when browsing through albums of these artists, having to scroll through the albums is an extremely lengthy and tedious process.

At [b]IHDNY[/b] we are [b]Control4[/b] dealers in Long Island, NY. We are having a lot of problems when it comes to controlling any [b]Sonos[/b] device with the Control4 Platform. Will there be any update on this matter?

I have one outdoor speaker, and it's wires are inside the house. Can I connect a Sonos Connect directly to this speaker wire, or would I need to get a Connect:Amp instead?
