I have the same problem. I see it has been reported before more than two years ago and some other times all of a sudden the Sonos roam starts making a loud sizzling banging noise almost like an alarm going off. only way to stop it is to open the Sonos app??? What is it? And how can I prevent this from happening?

I have a beam gen2 and I recently bought an era 300. When I play TV audio the era 300 does some interruptions. When I play Spotify and other audio from the application it's fine. Do you have any idea what's the problem?

Are other able to use their playlist while at my house 

My system was working well but recently only one of four architectural speakers connected to an AMP has sound? I have interchanged the wire connection and only the same speaker has sound.

I recently split my sonos system in two, one operating with the S1 controller and the second with the S2 controller. I continue to access my music collection on a NAS (Seagate Central) with the S1 controller, however with the S2 controller I am unable to connect to the NAS. The NAS is DNLA-enabled. I tried to connect using the same path that worked with the S1 controller. I also tried using the NAS drive’s IP address. Nada.I’ve seen some chats mention the ability of S2 to use more advanced SMB version 2, but I cannot see what version SMB the NAS uses, nor can I change it.I’m able to connect the new S2 system to Sonos radio, so it is otherwise working.Any suggestions for solutions or workarounds would be gratefully received!!I didn’t update my system to the new controller when it came out because I didn’t want the hassle that I knew would await me. Now I’m regretting the whole maneuver. What a waste of time. I’ve been using Sonos speakers for perhaps 15 years and love the sound, but I’m

I’m going insane I have an Arc, Sub and two Fives for surround3 Ports1 standalone FiveArc always works fine (Apple TV and never use the app on it).  when I want to play music any where else Arc wants to be a Master or something. Arc will always play music even though I rarely want it to with the app.  If I add or switch to another speaker it reverts back.  It’s a constant cat and mouse game to get what I want playing. Often involving unplugging the entire HT setup. Now even that is not working and showing up.  I think I have to reboot everything with HT unplugged to get the other speakers to play.  I just went through and made sure everything was on the same WiFi. I have 2.4ghz and 5.0 as separate SSID. I made sure everything including phone was on 2.4ghz.  What the F am I doing wrong.  Starting to regret investing in Sonos.  This is all bought in the last year or so.  

Hi.  I have a new Onkyo receiver and a new Port.  I have the digital coax output from the Port to the input of the receiver, as instructed in the setup.  I have an RCA output from the Line 2/B of the receiver to the Line In of the Port.  I have the Port grouped with two OneSL speakers.  I can see that the sound is going from receiver to the Port and the other two speakers; however, there is no sound output from these speakers.  What am I doing wrong? I have done the global software update to all of my Sonos products. 

When I first set up my Sonos 2 Do I have to be on my own home WI? Fi? To set it up. I am having trouble getting it to link and play music.

Hello - I am trying to control a group volume from one amp. My setup is below:I have 4x Sonance 8” ceiling speakers wired in to an Amp (Amp A) in a media rack upstairs. I have this Amp, the ceiling speakers and Sonos Sub 4 in a room called “Kitchen”.I have a Sonos Move in a room called “Portable”.I have Pro-Ject Turnrable connected to a second Amp (Amp B) in a room called “Media Wall”.I have these three rooms grouped into a group called “Home”.Everything is working well and volume control as a group works well from the app.I would like to be able to control the volume of the group “Home” with the touch controls on Amp B. Is this possible?  Thanks!

Can’t get my Sonos app / Ultra Arc to see my Sonos wireless headphones (WH1000XM5). Looking for advice.

Can someone please recommend a third party universal remote that will work with the ray soundbar. I've tried all the tricks and tips suggested but still can't get my Samsung remote to pair.

My two rear Sonos one SL surround speakers are connected but have no audio. The pause button works and will pause the ARC soundbar but still no audio from the surrounds. I have tried EVERYTHING please help. TV and cable box both set to Dolby Digital and TV surrounds are turned all the way up in sonos app and still no audio from surrounds.

I have a AMP with 2 speakers attached. The overall sound is not good for me as the equalizer is too poor. To have an acceptable sound i push the 2 levels at max … For such an expensive device it is a bit disapointing.To overcome this issue I would like to have an active equalizer between source and the Sonos AMP.I have found 2 options and your feedback would be greatly appreciated before shopping:Option 1 (expensive): i buy a Sonos Port and a EQ901 Equalizer from Deer Creek Audio. Setup would be:Sonos Port out → EQ901 → in Sonos AMP → speakers. I would manage music from the Port and the active equalizer from EQ901.Option 2: I buy an Bluesound Node Nano and the setup would be:Bluesound Node Nano → in Sonos AMP → speakers. I would manage music from my iphone via Airplay 2 (AM in lossless most of my usage way) and use the equalizer from the Bluesound.Makes sense ? Thank you in advance. 

I got a new Sonos Roam 2 and it told me that I need to upgrade to the S2 Controller.  It noted that I had an Amp that was not compatible and guided me to remove it from my system - which I did.  Now when I go to my S2 controller, it says that the System is only Compatible with the S1 Controller, but when I go to the S1 Controller System>System Tools it shows “System Compatibility” greyed out and it just guides me to upgrade to the S2 controller.  I am not fully going in circles. help!  

Can I play Ace and Arc simultaneously? If not, why not?

I have a brand new in box One speaker that I purchased about 6 years ago.  I bought a bunch of them anticipating expanding at home and the office where I have it set up.  I'm trying to set up this new speaker at home, i have no sonos products at home. I have sonos set up at the office This new speaker fails at the update stage of setup every time,  regardless of wifi or wired.  I get error 30 on wifi and 1014 with Ethernet.   Any help would be appreciated.   I'm using android with what I think is the s1 app ( doesn't actually say on the icon like it used to, but the icon is black) .

What am I doing wrong? Sonos used to work for me, but in recent history, anytime I attempt to use it, something goes wrong. It will play random things and not what I put on, it will freeze, not respond and generally be unusable. Is this the new normal? 

Why is the app so slow 

as the title clearly indicates upon the successful addition of the Sonos boost to my home theater set up, it is not shown  as a device with options under system settings. it’s all shown here in this iCloud photo link. The first image is upon the successful addition and the second photo is upon the closing of the window that says that the boost will be displayed in settings.https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4ORyJYCPum9Xq3ylOlQud8Qit is very important to me that I am able to display and change the settings for the boost so that I know that it is functioning correctly and that I am able to use it correctly. — Although all indications suggest it is working, I have evidence that it is not because all devices are still connected to the wireless network and not the Sonos network. But I am not 100% That it would not be connected to my wireless network.please help and if it was never a device fully integrated into the second version of this application; Sonos please add it completely

Player, Amp, Sub and Play 1s.   it seems like nothing works together.   I need multiple apps?   90% of the time I want the speakers to play what is on TV.  It once worked perfectly but now i need multiple apps, additional hardware purchases, etc… how do I get help before I throw this crap in the garbage?

I can't find the 5 digit pin on my zoneplayer s5 speaker. Can someone direct me where to find it?

I have 3 era 300’s which stopped working 60 days ago.   I have factory reset them hundreds of times , tried to delete the system , create a new account , etc , etc .    Why is this so hard ?  Why does sonos sort of manage my system ?    I should be able to delete speakers , accounts , etc from the web and app.    I feel like big brother will not let these speakers roll onto a new system.    I hate sonos ….bigtime

I recently purchased a pair of Sonos Era 300’s to use as my surround sound. I had been using Sonos Ones as my surround sound. I reset the Sonos Ones to factory setup and sold them. My app keeps showing the Sonos Ones as Not Connected. How do I remove them entirely from my app/account? In trying to research this, I came across a post that said to select “Forget Current System”, but will this remove all my speakers from my app/account? If it will, can someone please tell me how to just remove the Sonos One’s? Thanks

Just got a rays sound bar and plugged it in ran through normal setup with no issues. App said it needed an update and ran the update. Now the speaker is acting like it has no power. I’ve attempted factory reset different outlets etc and no lights will turn on the sound bar. Anyone had this issue? We have several Sonos products and have never had one turn to a brick with an update 

Where on Sonos 2 do I press the button when the app says ”Make sure the light on your Move 2 is flashing white and green, then press the buttons on it to continue.” Another user asked this same question months ago, but there was no clear answer - only a link to User Guides I had already reviewed.   WHERE is the button?
