As the title suggests - I strongly suspect my 3 year old Playbase’s WiFi card has given up (I know how common this issue is/was). It has gone from the app and no amount of un-plugging from the wall, or re-booting the router helps. It is used in my bedroom as a standalone TV speaker and to be honest, that is all I use it for. It still works with the TV and luckily I had programmed the TV remote to control it and had the bass and treble levels all set up as I wanted it.From my understanding of searching the web, Sonos no longer replaces these like they once did and only offer a money off coupon upon the return of said Playbase.So my question is, I assume it will continue to work totally fine with the TV via the optical cable and therefore I should not worry about the lack of connection to the internet? If that is the case, it’s better for me to just keep it rather than spend money on another speaker that will only ever be used with the TV upstairs.Oh and to add - it does not show as conn

When I’m already playing music on a Sonos speaker and add another one or a whole group, there is no option to quickly adjust/sync the volume for all speakers to the same level. I always have to manually adjust the volume in order to have the same volume on all speakers. I know that there used to be a function in Sonos app to slide to the left to mute them all an slide back to the desired volume in order to sync them all, but this does not work with the new app. There are other apps available for Apple Watch and Mac which support this setting. How can I sync the volume with the new Sonos app? Or please bring back this feature.

My Sonos One won’t connect to my new router via wifi

Hi,I created a couple of zones using SONOS Era100 Pro speakers. It seems in this configuration, it does not allow a subwoofer to be added. Only when i change a Zone to a room, can I link the sub. Ie, a room with a singe speaker or speaker pair. Is this correct? Is this a limitation at the moment?

Hello! I just wanted to ask if others have experienced this potential bug; when running Era 300s as surrounds for an Arc Ultra in music mode, the Full/Ambient surround settings change the the sound of the Era 300s even when I’m playing Atmos music (this is through Apple Music on the Sonos app). The description of the setting, however, states that Full/Ambient shouldn’t apply to Atmos playback. I’m curious to know which setting, if either, is the intended EQ for the surrounds.

I could manage issues prior to the big beautiful app upgrade.I have had my One and One SL speakers for years. I have one plugged into ethernet. Two of my other speakers were struggling to stay stereo paired and I thought installing a mesh network to boost signal for Sonos would help. Not so much. I have to reboot my Iphone every time to get Sonos to “find my system”. In Network configuration Sonos shows two instances of my network. Those are the original network, and the mesh network I was encouraged to give the same name as the original. For example, my original network is named dummy123 and my mesh network install prompted me to name the mesh network dummy123. My Sonos system is on its own network on Channel 1

Play 1 light steady green. In Sonos app it shows with flickering I think indicating connected to wifi. But it is grey and I can move volume but it is grey and no sound

Until recently I regularly used my Amazon Echo Dot (Alexa device) to start playing music from Apple Music on my Sonos speakers using the Alexa Sonos skill. Recently it stopped working--either nothing plays or Alexa gives some “I can’t do that” error. If I have the Sonos app open on my phone while this failure is happening, I can tell my request to Alexa has succeeded in part because I see a stream of messages like this in the app:In the Sonos app I can search for something and pick a match from Apple Music and successfully play the matching track. All of this implies to me that there’s neither a networking problem nor a problem with my Sonos system’s connection to Apple Music. (I did the “reauthorize” operation just in case; it didn’t help.)Any ideas?

Hi! I have the Sonos One speaker, and the Sonos Ikea speaker, and it’s always had a big issue playing podcasts from Spotify.  Playing music from audio (via Airplay, or the other option where it’s not airplay but I just choose the speaker in Spotify) works perfectly.  With podcasts it will just randomly stop for 5 seconds and start again.  This happens whether I use the Airplay option in Spotify, or the option where I choose the speaker in Spotify. Any solution??s

Hello, I cannot use my Sonos Ace microphone on online calls (Google meets, Microsoft teams...) when I choose the stereo sound output (which is the sound quality I prefer because the Hand-Free AG audio is not good), only my laptops audio is possible to use. I could use both audio output and headsets microphone on my previous Airpods pro, so i don’t understand why i cannot use them on my Sonos Ace.

I’ve noticed a few times already when I pause a movie or TV show for a couple of minutes then resume playing, the Beam doesn’t output any audio even though it is on and I can control the volume up and down. The audio output is set to “ auto” default settings in my TCL Tv. It’s connected via HDMI arc the TV supports Dolby Atmos. My usual fix is to turn off the tv and turn it back on, a bit annoying

Hello! I have a question regarding the intended behavior of two Era 300s as surrounds in an Arc Ultra set up. It feels to me like the Era 300 side drivers are noticeably louder (maybe 6dB?) than the rear drivers. I’ve noticed that when turning down the surround volume slider you can make the sides match the rears, as that slider only changes the side volume and not the rears. With default settings after TruePlay, this imbalance doesn’t sound ‘bad’, but I am wondering if this is the intended behavior. I want to make sure that when every slider is set to ‘0’ (after TruePlay) I’m getting the closest experience to what Sonos/Giles Martin & co tested/approved. Thank you! Edit for clarification: this is when playing Atmos from Apple Music through the Sonos app. This behavior is consistent between quick and advanced TruePlay with multiple rounds of each performed.

I have a new Arc Ultra paired with an amp that has four in ceiling speakers and am also using a wired Polk Sub that I had.  Whenever I change the Arc to use “Surrounds” the sub woofer doesn’t work.  The only way I can get it all to work at the same time is to keep them separated and turn the volumes up for both.  That creates a bit of an odd echo though and isn’t really surround.  Any thoughts on what I’m doing wrong?

I have a three room set up , kitchen is an Arc, sonus amp and ceiling speakers for surrounds and gen 3 sub, Arcam Dac, iPad hard wired as controller. Small lounge Bose cinema 520 Arcam air Dac and Sonus port. My main lounge has a Denon 2200 AVR, Bowers and Wilkins in Wall front 3 speakers . Surrounds and height speakers in wall and ceiling . I am looking to make improvements to the main lounge as I am happy with the rest of the setup. I also have a single Sonus five and a move 1.I want to have the main lounge join the Sonus architecture and improve the sound quality too . Can a Sonus amp be used to power the front left and right speakers ?within the surround system ? Also could a Sonus subwoofer 4 then be connected to the main lounge ? Could I purchase another Sonus 5 and use a pair usefully within the main lounge too . If the amp option isn’t optimal , if a port is connected, could I then use a Sonus sub in the non sonus setup. 

In the lounge I have an Amazon Echo speaker and a Play One SL. For the last few years I have been able to ask Alexa to Play Apple Music and it would play over Sonus. Two days ago is started having trouble and displayed a message in the Sonos App “The connection to play.iTunes.apple.com was lost” I can use the Alexa voice command on the Echo speaker to play Apple Music on the Echo speaker so the Apple Music Skill is connected correctly. I can use the Sonos app on a mobile device to play Apple Music and I can then use Alexa commands on the Sonos speaker to skip tracks. I can use Alexa voice commands on Sonos to ask for time, weather, control lamps and TV. If I change to the Sonos voice assistant commands I CAN play Apple Music using voice commands. The only combination that does not work is using Alexa voice commands and asking to play Apple Music on Sonos. I CAN use Alexa voice commands to play streaming radio. To date I have:Followed the advice on the Sonos help pages by Disabling and

This is more of a feature request.I would like to plugin the optical output of a CD player into a pair of ERA-300.(I know you can get an analogue USB-C adaptor but that goes digital to analog to digital)I would like a clean digital path to the DAC’s inside the era 300’s direct from a CD transport 

Has anyone tried the double twist app on android to airplay your music to the Beam 2 and are there any problems with it. I've downloaded it but I need to pay £15 to be able to use airplay. Any feed back would be appreciated.

Gemini AI says this is how to connect two Ace's to a TV audio output:If your TV has RCA outputs, connect them directly to the Sonos Port's line-in. Add the Port to your Sonos system and create a group including the two Sonos Ace devices.Will this work?

So I have  2 (surround) speakers connected to an AMP.The AMP is placed far away from the setup (basement), so there is no way to do wireless, and everything is wired.I have no soundbar yet… but are considering buying one… So my question is is it possible to use this AMP (that is only accessible by ethernet and not wireless) as surround for the Arc Ultra?

When will sonos update the app so there is possible to change equalizer settings trough the app, even when you are connected via bluetooth. I really love the products but for the pricetag it should be possible to use same app as when it is connected to wifi. 

I'm fed up with Sonos products that can't stream music from my Apple Music service. I'm not even talking about the multiple bugs with speakers that lose connection to the network or the app that changes the name of the speakers as it pleases. I'm going to abandon this brand that is getting worse every year if all the problems aren't resolved quickly.
