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 ?

I can no longer add songs to my Sonos playlists, nor create new ones. This happened when Sonos updated their app and still hasn’t been rectified. For the amount I’ve spent on Sonos speakers this is a disgrace. There is no reason why Sonos could not have fixed this problem. The app update should not have been released until Sonos had tested it to ensure playlists could be used correctly on all platforms. When will this be fixed?

 Hello! Wondering if anyone has faced similar issues when updating your era 100, i cant seem to update this speaker and im not sure if its an internal app issue.I have tried several things after contacting sonos support that DID NOT work:Factory Resetting the speaker Resetting the app Connecting from a different iOS device Signing in and out Transferring ownership (to myself) Moving it closer to the router Deleting and Redownloading the appMy network system is configured differently so i cant just reset the router. Im not so sure what’s wrong because i was able to connect my other era 100 speaker after facing similar issues. The unregistered speaker is also working fine as i was able to connect and play something via bluetooth. I would just like to register it so that i can pair my era 100.Any help would be appreciated!!

I am trying to prevent Sonos from playing on all speakers in the house when the TV is turned on. This only happens after music is played from an earlier time, paused and then later the TV is used. I usually have to turn all the other speakers down when the TV is turned on to prevent the TV sound being on multiple speakers- like in another room where someone is sleeping! How can I just turn it off in the app? 

hi can anyone else with ERA 300’s confirm if they click (make a static type noise) just before the music starts and a couple of seconds after it is paused? I’ve just purchased a pair and noticed in a quiet room this noise. It sounds like the noise is made when the speaker wakes up and when it sleeps. Anyone else hearing this?

Where has the content service Radioapp gone? It is no longer available since i upgraded to the new app.

Hi everyone,I have a setting problem of Arc and Port.  My Port is now connecting to my Hi Fi system for streaming music which works fine.  The problem is I cannot add Arc into the same Sonos app.  The App can’t find a new component while I try to adding into the existing system. The Arc is mainly for TV watching.  Anyone can advise if it is possible to put both devices into the app so that I can control through the app.  Many Thanks.

Hello, I’ll try to be as detailed as possible so here we go.  I currently have and Arc, Sub and 2x One SL’s in my living room. With the arc connected to the TV and the sub and 2 One SL’s linked to the Arc in the same ‘Sonos room’ (living room), this is my surround sound setup which I also use to stream spotify through. I also have a Sonos move which is separate but can link with my Arc and play the same audio and can be carried around the house and into the garden for example. My question is this, if I was to connect a turntable (with a built in pre amp) to the Sonos amp and then to passive third party speakers in a separate room (my upstairs office) would I also be able to play this audio (from the turntable) simultaneously on the rest of my Sonos system (surround sound and move) wirelessly through the SONOS app? Or is this not possible?  I hope that makes sense, and help is appreciated.   

Hi! I have some weird and annoying problem with my One SL. When I initially start playing music from my iPhone or iPad via AirPlay, there is just silence. It takes about 2mins or so before it then suddenly starts playing. Alternatively I always need to kinda kickstart the speaker by playing something through the Sonos app. And then also AirPlay work fine.I use these speakers only every now and then. I suppose so they have enough time to eventually go into some kind of sleep or deep sleep state… The problem does not occur when they are idling just for a day or so. When I start AirPlay it connects (so no connection errors), and also the LED on the speaker lights up (I think). Also music on the phone is happily playing. Just, there is no sound.Anyone else has that problem or knows what I can do?

Hello, I’m using two Era 100s in a stereo pair mode, and one of them is connected to my bluetooth devices. Both speakers are updated to the latest software, and I usually don’t have issues with the bluetooth playback. However, I noticed that after I restart my WIFI router, I lose the sound in bluetooth mode. I can connect and disconnect my bluetooth devices with audible confirmation chimes/status LED from the Era 100 that’s being used as a bluetooth connection point. However there’s no sound playing in this case. I tried toggling the bluetooth button on the back of the speaker, and I confirmed all my bluetooth devices see the connected Era 100 speaker just fine. What’s interesting is that WIFI music playback is not affected after the WIFI router is restarted. What fixes the issue is to force a power restart by disconnecting power plugs and reconnect. What I don’t get is that the bluetooth module shouldn’t be affected by WIFI connection status change due to a router restart. This seems

Ok, had enough. I have a Sonos set up in three rooms which I only ever use when I have company and only for low background music. Because I use it rarely, when I do start it up I am told to get updates and I can not use the system until I get them. Just when I just want to start it and go away (I have guests remember). Finally today I sat down and clicked the Get Updates link and, of course, there was an error and I was told to try again, and again, and again. So I just went over to my Stereo and pushed one button and I had music, instantly, mind you I did have to turn down the volume but that took about 1.5 seconds. I spent a fair amount on money thinking that I was buying quality and convenience. The quality is not that great and there seems to be no convenience at all with the Sonos system. So, the question is, is there any way to set it so that it will ignore updates? After all, it works well enough the way it is  and does not need updates.

why can't you save the sound settings on a sonos arc ultra for different sound sources, this would be a great improvement, save you ajusting the controls all the time for different sources.I also realized that the same sound source will change depending upon how it was recorded, but at least it would be a starting position that may not have to be altered as frequently.one for streaming music, Dolby atmos, movies, etc ‘this can be added to the app, saved memory.or is this available but I cannot find it.

I have an Apple TV 4k, a Vizio M55 and a Sonos Playbar. The TV is connected to the Playbar via optical cable. Apple TV is connected to the Vizio via HDMI. I used to be able to control the volume via my Apple TV of the Playbar. Now it doesn’t work and I feel lost. I had to reconnect the Sonos as a new system as ai changed the wifi. the app says apple tv remote should not be used during set up of the playbar.

Have iTunes library on NAS - can access and play songs by Songs, Artist, Album, etc. but Playlist does not work.  I see all Playlists and songs within in but when I try to play, I get message that says “unable to play song as share on NAS does not exist”.   Again, I can play songs by individual songs, albums, artist, genre but when trying to play songs in a playlist, get error message.

Just wondering if it's safe to update my apps Currently running S2. Have some speakers to add but have been holding off because the version I have works (somewhat) and it won't let me add without updating...Thanks

I have two Sonos SL speakers and was hoping to pair them up with Sonos Ray for my 2nd TV not as Surround speakers (it's an open plan room, so not possible to place them as surrounds) but as additional front speakers.

The new app is taking shape nicely and I'd say its now functionally almost matching the old app (and of course it looks better and is 'modern'). But there are still some little gripes that I'd like to feedback to Sonos:1) When entering the queue it takes you back to the top instead of where the current song is being played. Gets very tedious when you have a long list. Would love to see an Apple Music style queue where tracks already played are hidden but you can always scroll back if you want to replay that song thats stuck in your head again....and again.... and again… 2) When I want to play 'My station' from apple music on the home screen it always fails (error). I have to go to services > apple music and play it from there every time. Could be widespread to all stations but I haven't tried. Another little annoyance.  3) Album art seems to drop in and out of existence. 4) Search. When searching it would be great to set a service as default so it gives me the full search of that se

My right channel Sonos Five was knocked off its 1m pedestal, and tumbled down a 7 step flight of wooden stairs to rest on the tile floor.Remarkably, they APPEAR to function flawlessly despite a deep dent in the face-mesh.Will this definitely shorten the lifespan of the speaker, or have I dodged a bullet?

The optical cable for my new Ray soundbar doesn’t “snap in” to either the soundbar or the TV. Even when pushed in hard. Pricarious connection, easily jostled out. 

I can start Spotifyplaylists playback on livingroom speakers, but after one or two songs, it just stops playing the next song. When I then manually skip to the next song, it will play it and then stop again.I tried re-adding/reauthorizing Spotify service but this didn’t help. I also don’t think its a networking/router issue since it plays fine after manually going to the next track. 

Would it be possible to have the battery charge gauge on the first page of the settings for the Roam?

I own two Sonos One’s. I have started buying vinyl, and just this week invested in a moderately priced blue tooth turntable. I now learn that these speakers are not compatible. Hey ho. I therefore purchased an Era 100, and the Sonos Line-in adapter. These both arrived today. Excitedly I followed the set up instructions, however I still cannot connect the turntable to the new speaker. The only leads coming out of the record player are the red and white jacks, and two does not go into one, neither hack fits the line-in. Sonos have been useless. I fear I am going to have to send my purchases back.Any help/insight would be much appreciated.TIA Nick

Suggestions for a compatible receiver??  Something more midrange price?

I have an Apple Music playlist with approximately 1200 songs.  When I shuffle play the list on Sonos, it only utilizes the first 200’ish songs (alphabetically songs beginning with A-E).   How can I get Sonos to recognize and utilize the entire playlist?

Is there a way to disable in-app advertising?  Every time I open the app, there is an add right in the middle of the screen.  This space should be utilized for my most commonly used features.  Can you please make the advertisements opt-in?  Or at least move them away from the most precious real estate in the application?  I promise you, they are having the opposite effect of making me want to buy more of your products.
