Good morning, I am testing my alexa integration and I have an issue: multi room soundsMy setup:Living room: sonos arc with “built in alexa”. My son’s bedroom with a echo dot 5th gen and an old sonos playbar as a speakerBoth set-ups work pretty good with their alexa (either integrated or via echo dot) but one command:Sonos arc/playbar alexa commands:play music in the living room: works play music in son’s room: works play music everywhere: doesn’t work Sonos app shows both speaker are playing correctly Playbar won’t play any sound If I give the command from Snos arc with “Sonos AI”:play music everywhere (via sonos “AI”): worksSince the alexa command works de facto (sonos app showing both playing) I suspect it has something to do with some sonos app bags.Anybody would have an idea on how to solve this ? Thanks a lot.

Hello! Recently, the iOS app stopped making it easy to play music at the same level on every speaker in every room.  Until a few weeks ago, I would select all speakers, drag the volume slider for everywhere down to zero, and then back up to where I wanted it for my music. Now, individual speakers remember how much higher they were set and none of the numbers align. Is this a bug? Intentional? 

Hello, I’m trying to summarize the problems with the music library, at least as far as I’m concerned.I’ll describe my scenario: QNAP NAS with a library of about 17,000 files, organized into folders by artist. I use SMB protocol v2 and v3. I have 2 SONOS Play1, 1 Play 5, and a soundbar + SUB. I’m using the new Android app.The issues I’ve encountered with the library, which frustrate me quite a bit since I purchased SONOS years ago specifically for managing the internal music library, are as follows:- When I start a playlist (for example, of 300 songs), the queue populates with 64,000 tracks, repeating the playlist in a loop.- In the alarm configuration, it’s no longer possible to set a playlist, only the buzzer or external services (spodify, sonos radio, ecc...)- Difficulty adding songs to the queue.- Cannot play music from an entire folder (selecting music library - folders).- Cannot find podcasts on Spotify.- Radio stations often do not start.- The status light on the devices remains

Hi all, any news on when Playlists will be showing Artwork and the ability to add and create new ones?

Hi, would appreciate your thoughts before buying an Ultra please.I’m looking to stream music from a Synology NAS (DS223j) to the Arc Ultra and then out to 2 pair of Edifier speakers (R1700BTs), where one pair would connect as front left and right and the other pair similarly as the rear speakers.Ideally this would be controlled by Alexa.Is this possible please ?Many thanks.

First, I apologize up front if this has been asked/answered in other threads.  I have done searches but nothing directly comes up for my questions that I have found. I currently have a great room and purchased an Arc Ultra soundbar (in use with latest generation Samsung Frame TV connected via HDMI/ARC) in the Living Room space.  It sounds great, but obviously on the other end of the room you really have to turn that soundbar up loud to hear it, which becomes uncomfortable if in the Living Room space.  Was thinking of adding Sonos ceiling architectural speakers into that area (the kitchen) to keep sound levels reasonable.  However I am learning about the latency that will become an issue.  It seems like there is a creative way to solve this issue, and am trying to figure that out.Some options I am considering:HDMI/ARC Splitter or distributor - What if I send the same signal from the Frame tv to both the soundbar and the Sonos amp driving the ceiling speakers via a splitter.  Could this

Hello!I have two older Sonos Play:1 speakersMy system is MacOS Mojave 10.14.My music files are on an external SSD named WORK.

Hello, The Sonos App on Android is no longer functional when it comes to playing Playlists stored in a Synology NAS. We are only able to play one playlist, but we can see the others. We have attempted several remedies, including:Deleting the Music Library path in the app and re-adding it Manually deleting the .m3u files in the NAS, and resyncing them ReindexingThis solved *nothing.* In fact, there are now double listings for the playlists in the app, even though each file is only there once. Has anyone else experience something similar? Please chime in if you have, especially if you have a fix for this issue. And *yes,* we are using SMB 2. on our NAS I apologize if this comes off as frustrated, but frankly this is, on such expensive equipment.

Long time Sonos Customer - Back to the days before even ZoneBridge, Circa 2008. Over the years system has expanded into a hybrid of Old School + New Age.Old School - Zone Amp (ZA) and Zone Connect (ZC) wired to Stereo Amp & Speakers.New Age - Beam Gen 2 and Play 1.Each half works great in their own right controlled by old/new Sonos AppsHow best to add Turntable (TT) with integrated preamp. House setup dictates connection to ZA. Not interested in Bluetooth TT model. Goal is high quality audio to all devices, specifically Play 1. Overall Sonos configuration - Three different rooms with ZA/TT in Room1, Beam & ZC/Stereo in Room2, Play1 in Room3. (Might be persuaded to add inexpensive Sonos portable speaker such as Roam 2 (w/BT) if helps meet goals)Also wondering, any way to stream Sonos "sources" directly on Android phone (running Sonos App) for listening through wired headphones?Finally, probably discussed ad nauseam and futile but would be really great to "integrate" Old w/New wi

Is it possible to set a max volume so my kid don't bother the neighbors when I'm at work? 

Are any subwoofers compatible with my Sonos One Gen 2?

Hi Sonos Community,I currently have a TV setup in my living room consisting of a Beam Gen 2, a One Gen 2, and a Sub Mini.I'm considering adding another speaker to enhance the room’s sound while also having the flexibility to take it outside into the garden or another area beyond my living room. That’s why I’m looking at the Move 2, as it offers Bluetooth connectivity and portability.However, I’ve come across some posts suggesting that the Move 2 might not pair with a Sub Mini. I’d love to know if this setup will work seamlessly when watching TV or listening to music, or if I might run into compatibility issues when integrating the Move 2 to my setup.Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Buenas tardes .Tengo Beam 2 + 2 One + Sub Mini.Quiero añadir Player CD Denon DCD600 y un altavoz Marshall al sistema Sonos. Tengo 2 preguntas:1- Lo hago a través de Port? Puedo conectar El Denon y el altavoz Marshall?2- Necesito también un amplificador  para el Player Denon ? Denon PMA-600NE??? No quiero comprarlos y que luego no funcionen bien.Gracias 

Using the S1 app my gen 1 Connect:Amp ZP120 will often lose audio for 5 to 10 seconds while playing Spotify. It is grouped with a Play:1 which does not drop audio.  Everything is on WiFi, which is congested, however there are no issues listening to Sonos Radio, Amazon Music, PocketCasts, etc. Unfortunately I have no control or access to the WiFi set-up at my apartment.  I know there are memory issues with the gen 1 Play:5 and Spotify which is why I sold mine and went with the Connect:Amp which I already had and just needed some speakers for. Gapless playback, automix, and crossfade are all disabled in the Spotify app since I read those could lead to issues with older equipment.  I have a diagnostic report *********** run right after the audio dropped.  Is there anything I'm missing here that could fix this other than upgrading to a current generation Amp and S2 app? I've been avoiding S2 until the stability issues get sorted out. Moderator edit: recorded and removed diagnostics

On Windows 10, Sonos went to//My Computer/Music. Now it goes to//Desktop-PRMVB3Q/Music and there is no such folder. Network profile is private. Music folder is shared with everyone. Firewall not blocking. Radio station plays on the Sonos just fine.

System consists of 5 x Play 1 speakers all updated . Works fine , purchased 2 x Roam speakers, system sees them but will not update. Tried all solutions recommended. Purchased Era100 speaker and likewise system sees speaker but will not update. I am thinking of closing down all speakers and changing the speaker plugged into router from a Play 1 to the new Era 100 to see if it is a compatibility issue anyone had experience if this please?

Can you pair 3 Sonos move 2 speakers together?

Hi,I’m planning an audio setup for my living, dining & kitchen open space, which you can see on the plan and the 3D sketch above, with the measurements.I was thinking to install Sonos architectural speakers: - 2 pairs of Sonos In-Ceiling 8” for the living and dining area (vaulted ceiling) and - a pair of Sonos In-Ceiling 6” for the kitchen area (flat ceiling).Each speaker will have a dedicated ceiling-box it will be installed in and all 6 of them will be connected directly to a single AMP with a Helusound 400 2x2.5mm2 cables. I read in Sonos guidance that the Trueplay won’t be possible if there is a mixture of speakers connected to the same AMP, which I’m planning to use here. I’m considering changing a pair of 6” to 8” but it may be an overkill for such a small area.Speakers in these areas will be used for music only. Having a separate TV room for Home Theater setup. Here are my queries, hope you will be able to help me or point me to the right direction on:Would 2 pairs of 8” be

My Sonos roam was working perfectly fine a couple days ago and now it is showing a flashing red light. I have tried to charge it and I have switched out the chargers and it is still happening. The speaker will connect to my phone and other devices and it will tell me that the music is playing but no sound comes out. 

I have a pair of Era 100’s set up as a stereo pair.  I have a CD player which is connected to the line input on the right ERA100.  When playing CD’s the left ERA100 suffers momentary loss of signal.  If I connect the CD player to the left ERA100, the right one suffers momentary signal loss.  I have replaced the cable and tried another CD player and also tried a hard wired connection from my iPad.  Again, no matter what the source, the transmitted channel suffers losses when using the line input.  There is no problem at all if I connect my iPad via Bluetooth, nor is there any problem playing radio or Amazon music.

Connecting is a damn nuisance. Often turn the speaker on and struggle to get a connection. No other Bluetooth product has ever given me a problem, but Sonos does.
