I have a sonos connect that I have used for several years through a reciever.  I have it connected to one of the audio inputs.  Strangely it stopped playing.  I tried a reset several times by unplugging and that did nothing.  I tried a harder reset of the device and than re-added it to my system.  Great. It worked.  But only for about an hour.  Then no sound again. It sits right next to my wifi router. So it gets plenty of signal.  Because it played after the reset, I know it's not the cables.  Any suggestions? 

I recently updated my system to go from a wired / SonosNet system to an all Wireless WiFi system. When I went to add alarms , it would not let me save them. I can put in the information for the alarm but when I hit the save button nothing happens and the alarm does not save.  It seems like this was a problem for people about a year ago but was then resolved and alarms have worked for me up until just now so I can't work out what would have changed. I am using the app for Android on a Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra 

Hallo ihr lieben, ich kann mich in meiner Sonos App nicht anmelden mein Xiaomi fliegt direkt wieder raus. Hab alles versucht! Ich habe einen eigenen Handyladen, also am Gerät liegt es nicht, ich habe auch ein Samsung Gerät getestet, geht auch nicht.  Hat Sonos derzeit Probleme? Danke euch. Liebe Grüße Caroline

Currently have a playbase and 2 *1 speakersconfigured as surround sound, how can I add in a turntable ?If I got an Era 100 and turntable, would this play via the playbase ? Thanks 

Hi thereI checked my sonos devices in my current s1 environment and they should all be compliant with latest sonos app as per sonos own compability page.i get an error stating that there are uncompable device on my system therefore the system upgrade cannot be done.Anyone knows how to deal with this? My devices are: Amp, Beam (gen 1) and a play:1.An old device - Connect 1 is listed on my sonos login but has been removed from the system a while ago. any help will be greatly appreciated. addition: after starting the s1 app and ran system compability - it said that I have an old connect 1 - and asked if I would ever need this on my system - I answered NO and then I was send to download the new app version. Doing this it still complains of incompatible device though…I`m guessing that somehow the connect 1 stills blocks behind the scenes… anyone know a trick to get past this obstacle? Have tried the power off on the devices….

Ok, so right now I have two era 100’s and a sub mini and love the way they sound for music.  Using them for movies is good too, but I’m considering adding a Beam (gen. 2) to add that extra goodness for watching movies.So the question is, once I have all 4 units (the sub mini, the beam, and the 2 era 100’s) configured together, is there a SIMPLE way to disable the beam when I just want to play music through Airplay (or the Sonos app)Alternatively, if temporarily disabling the Beam is not possible, is there a way, when I want to listen to music, to have both the beam and the era 100’s playing full stereo - meaning the era 100’s aren’t acting as ‘surrounds’ for playing music?Thanks for any info!

can i adjust ARC sound volume separately from tv sound volume?    i have a 2023 LG Oled.  From time to time I want to listen to just the ARC, with no actual tv volume. I have the ARC connected via  HDMI cable from the bar to an ARC (Audio Return Channel)-equipped HDMI socket on the LG TV, 

When I search for a song or artist and the list of suggestions appears, if I tap on the song I want nothing is happening. Instead I have to tape the dots at the end of the title and press the play now or play next buttons.This is happening on both iPhone and iPad only recently started doing this after 10+ years of owning this system.i still find the app they kindly dumped on the community last May is still not as robust as its predecessor, despite the numerous updates in the past 12 months. 

I have a Sonos system consisting of a Beam, which handles my television output, and two Sonos Ones serving as surround speakers. It’s been working splendidly, but recently I purchased a Sonos Era 100 to connect my CD player via its line-in. This has introduced issues that I'm struggling to resolve. If I play the CD player through the Era 100 alone, it’s perfectly acceptable, albeit a bit limited. However, attempting to play it through the entire system creates a problem when I next switch on the television. Either there’s no sound at all, or there’s a peculiar echoing conflict where the TV speakers and the Beam fail to synchronise. All I really want is to play CDs when I fancy listening to them and watch television when I wish to do so, with the system understanding which input I desire at any given time. Have I inadvertently created an impossible conflict, or is there a solution? Can anyone assist me, please?

I would like to share with you a small success related to my Sonos. I did not expect a solution to my problem until suddenly it was found! I would also like to greet and comfort my American friends. Hang in there! Here in Poland, we have been holding out for 10 years. As you can see, I have a lot of it:My last purchase, two weeks ago, was ARC Ultra, but I missed one thing both before, with Beam and now, with Ultra. I wanted to listen to the music and, at the same time, watch and listen to sports from TV. Unfortunately, my TV set with eARC, a 7-year-old Samsung Q75, did not allow switching to the TV speakers when connected to a Sonos soundbar. Of course, this is not Sonos' fault but the eARC standard.But I did not give up and …… I found FeinTech VAX04101 HDMI eARC Pass Switcher 4x1. Well, I understand. A match, European football, soccer. Stadium atmosphere and Mad Season! I highly recommend it.By the way, Sonos. When will there be the option to save playlists? I have the latest update a

“New” iOS mobile app still does not display my full list of Sonos Favorites while the MacOS app does show them all.  Please fix this.

I recently had a first generation Play 5 speaker go belly up, and now have 3 remaining first generation Play 3 speakers and was forced onto the new SONOS (2) app which has been a terrible experience with very slow response to changing tracks, loading queues, everything. I tried the complete router & speaker reboot that was suggested on other posts here, and that helped *a bit* it’s still slow but better. My question is: Is this a problem people experience with the new app talking to old speakers? Or do people with newer generation speakers have the same issue with the new app? I want to get a set of new ERA 100s but not if the app experience is going to be like this.

Although I use the Sonos 2 app to control my new components, I also use the old Sonos 1 app to play music in my basement. Unfortunately, the Sonos 1 app is suddenly not able to play anything from my music library. I can play radio through the old app, but when I select Albums, Composers, etc., all I get is a little logo with the text, “No selections are available.” Very frustrating.

Any hep/advice greatly appreciated. Updates run fine on iPad and iPhone. Many thanks! 

I purchased a Era300 at Best Buy two months ago and I absolutely hate this speaker. The crackling and popping coming from the speaker is so load that it drowns out the sound from my beam and Era 100s. I've tried all the remedies I have seen posted but from what I'm reading here Sonos doesn't really care that the Era300 is crap. What remedies do we have as a community to force Sonos to fix these concerns. Serious buyer remorse.

What should I do?I got 2 Sonos Symfonisk lamps as a gift.  I was excited!  I had heard such great things about Sonos speakers.  However, little did I know… I can’t add Spotify as a service and I can’t use voice control (a function I was looking forward to).  Spotify is my main concern.  I contacted support to figure it out, and they said Spotify is not supported in my region.  I live in South Korea, for the record.  I’ve been using Spotify for years.  My family also uses Spotify.  We’re also a Samsung family (again… we’re in South Korea) so Apple Airplay is not an option.  The only thing I could do is subscribe to Apple music, but that means I have to convince my family to switch services as well, forsaking years of playlists and song curation.  If I could at least connect to the speakers directly via Spotify, that would be more than enough for me.  In fact, that would be ideal.  However, that doesn’t work either! Make it make sense!

Thought i would post this, as there doesn't seem to be a fix.Completely random situation. Add 2 or 3 music to the queue and then try to add another and it says 'Unable to add to queue'. Clear the queue and add 1 song and it plays and i can view the empty queue. Try to add another song and you get 'Unable to add to queue' What !!!Clear the queue follow all the the info from my last post. Restart router, etc. Then add songs to queue, i can view, edit, etc. Clear the queue do the same thing and try to view again 'Unable to view queue. Try again later'. Clear the queue and add 1 song, all good, view queue o.k. try to add song and 'Unable to add to queue '.Tried multiple times, over a few days, weeks, etc. Same thing, random all the time. Sonos tech go through the same thing, restart router,  etc. Just the same. Getting fed up, as there doesn't seem to be a fix. Loads of app updates but still not fixing. Just an update to this. If I use Plex app for music, no issues, I can add, remove, upda

I’ve got a Sonos One SL (Model 922). It connects wirelessly to both my iPad (OS18.4.1) and iPhone (OS 18.4.1). I can stream music from either idevice (not at the same time). So far so good. I’ve also got a Mac Mini M2 (OS 15.4.1) I am unable to wirelessly connect the mini to the speaker. The Sonos S1 Controller app (updated to latest) won’t find it after pushing the button on the speaker. I had it Ethernetted at one point, however I want a WiFI connection (I did factory reset before connecting to idevices). Mini is ethernetted to router and also on house WiFI. What is the magic to wirelessly connect speaker to mini? BTW, I tried adding the S1 controller app to the firewall to allow all incoming connections (per instructions), however that disappears. It seems the Mini doesn’t like the S1 controller app. 

I would like to have the results from a search list items according to my preference.  I’ve been using Sonos for many years because I could prioritized by music library, not paid streaming services.Searching from the home screen has music library as the LAST group!?  Why Sonos?  I can rearrange the home screen to have my music library first, how do I have my music library results first in search results.I know I can go to the music library first then search, but why make this an extra step.  Why do you push streaming services first, because it is financially advantageous to you?  Unless I am missing a setting, I see no way to change the search order results. Please give us music lover back the control to set our own priorities. 

I have a Play 1 in the bedroom which shows up as not connected on the S2 app on iPad. How do I reconnect it or remove it and reconnect? Neither of these options appear in the app. Screen shot attached. 

Hey guys,I've got a question about the Sonos app. Yesterday I added a second SUB to my system, but I can't find the info about mySUB. I'm not seeing an arrow like in the attached picture (SUB 3). The SUBs are on the same network and everything works. Do you know why this is happening?Thanks in advance

I have a new TV, Sony Bravia A95L 55”, initially while I was waiting for delivery of a new Arc Ultra & Era 300’s for surround I used my old setup, Playbar, Sub Gen 2 & 2 x Play 1’s for surrounds with the new TV, Playbar connected via optical cable. All was fine. When the new stuff arrived I connected it all up, Ultra via eArc HDMI etc, I now have a few issues; Occasional disconnection from the Sonos and back to TV speakers, without me doing it. When I reselect the Sonos, its fine. When I turn on the TV in the morning, by switching on the Sky Q box, more often than not not the TV shows nothing on the Sky Q channel, I have to restart either the Sky Q or TV, then its fine. When I fast forward, rewind or pause on programmes, when the sound comes back I get a nasty noise from the speakers. this seems to be only on Sky recordings and not all the time (see clip)Any ideas as to what it could be? 😋    

Does turntable require a wire to connect to Sonos because I was wondering the to keep the beauty of wireless and add a turntable to it does that is possible ?
