We have had Sonos speakers set up in multiple rooms for a few years, and we use Alexa to control them. However, I am planning to cancel my Prime membership. Will I still be able to use Alexa? Or is there an alternative voice command capability that I can use?

I was gifted a Sonos Era 100 on my birthday. I already owned a Sonos One SL. I was already disappointed to find out that I could not pair them together, and could therefore not use them as TV speakers. I understand the reasoning for this, but it’s still annoying.Now I’m having this problem where I can’t even get them to play music at the same time. In the Sonos app I select them both to play at the same time and it says: ‘Era 100 + 1’ or One SL + 1’ but the ‘+1’ speaker never actually plays anything. Everything in the app indicates that both speakers are playing (the little sound waves beside them are both moving) but sound only comes out of one of them. Both speakers are fully capable of playing independently and if I change which one is the ‘+1’ I can change which plays music.I have been able to fix all this temporarily by plugging out both speakers and plugging them in again, but they soon revert to this problematic state.Does anybody know why this is happening? I’m getting pretty a

I have a home theatre with Sonos Arc, Sub and 2x One SL. I recently replaced the One SL with era 300 should I keep the one SL as part of the theatre in a different position or just move them to another room.

I’m considering setting up Sonos speakers for a hotel and am planning to install over 100 Sonos Era speakers, mainly to allow guests to use Bluetooth in their rooms. What would be the best way to set up these systems?From my research, I've found two potential options: 1. Create multiple VLANs and SSIDs, or 2. Set up multiple systems under a single SSID.How do these two options differ, and which would be more effective in this context?

As per the title… I use a Sonos connect and have tried to reinstall the Innuos Zenith MK3 library, but comes back with cannot find music… was working fine earlier

This is so frustrating.  Amazon music's ultra HD sound quality is supported by my Sonos system.  However, connecting to amazon music is unusable.  I mean, Spotify is clunky but at least it works.  Amazon I can't even get it to work. Is this a thing?  Or just me? 

I have tried multiple times to tune Trueplay on one of my Sonos Ones. I have 6 Sonos Ones and only one of them will not save. I go through the process and each time it says it completed successfully. I go back to the Trueplay menu and there is no Trueplay Tuning on/off switch or an option to Retune. The only option is Trueplay Tuning (again). All of my other 5 Sonos Ones Trueplay just fine. It’s this single speaker that will not. I’ve tried unplugging it and even relocating it. Nothing works. Please help. 

Ok, before you start typing "it is a local problem".... my answer is "I know!" So I recently bought an S24Ultra and have been using the Sonos app on it. The application does most of the things.But what I have been struggling with since day 1 is that when I try to add GoogleAssistant to my speakers, the application will try to launch the GoogleAssistant application and stay without launching it.I thought that maybe it had to do with the fact that I am using Gemini, so I switched the phone back to Google Assistant. But no use.I checked and made sure that all the rights are set correctly for the sonos App.At this point I have to grab my old Samsung S3 each time that I want to add the GoogleAssistant to a sonos speaker. Anyone else experiences this?Any solutions?

My beam randomly disconnects when playing any of the music downloads including Sonos Radio. Does not disconnect when watching TV. Have tried all troubleshooting instructions but still happens

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, 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!
