Recently bought a Lp&No1 Bluetooth capable turntable and two ERA 100’s.  Both the turntable and the Sonos speakers work individually, but I cannot get them to pair over Bluetooth.The procedure in the LP Manual is:Turn on the turntablePlace the speaker in pairing modeSwitch the turntable to Bluetooth modeThe blue light will flash, then turn solid when paired, it never turns solid and the two devices are right next to each other.Now, I can get this turntable to connect via bluetooth to my phone, no issues, but  that’s because I have an interface I can press ‘accept’ on - I don’t have that on the turntable - so, they just sit there and stare at each other.I’m pretty annoyed if the answer is “sorry” like I highly suspect it is.

I am a little concerned about all the posts that talk to the 75ms input delay.  That may be the major issue throw my way as a deal breaker but I thought I’d still ask.I have an old ZP120 amp. We do a bit of karaoke at home with a little speaker with colourful light (kids love it). However, we can't get enough microphones connected for a decent singalong. My thought was buying a 4 way Bluetooth microphone mixer (with 6.35mm output jack), that I could connect with a 6.35mm to RCA cable, and plug that into the Sonos amp with speakers plugged in direct. We'd use TV to play the karaoke itself (music and lyrics) separate to this setup (alongside a disconnected whirly disco light). No use of the S1 app, just connectivity. Does that sound like it would work or does someone see an issue?

I have a beam connected with One SLs in the lounge and the surrounds regularly stop producing sound and require updating, which fails every time. Unless I plug it directly into the router. producing error 30 or some similar variation.  In another room I have a beam connected to 2x play:1’s they never need updating and work perfectly. Never disconnect. All on the same network.  what can I do to stop this happening, it’s getting very annoying.  thanks 

I am thinking of upgrading to the new Arc Ultra (currently running the previous gen).  My current setup is Sonos Arc, Sub Gen 3, and (2) One SL’s as my surrounds. I’m also considering adding the Sub Gen 4 for a dual-sub setup.Question, with Dolby Atmos and the new Arc Ultra, could I add a second set of ceiling-mounted surrounds which would be positioned above and behind my (2) One SL’s?  Can the Sonos Arc Ultra pass audio to the (4) surrounds properly when Dolby Atmos is played?Thanks!

How can I confirm a wired network connection on the Sonos Arc Ultra? It keeps switching back to Wi-Fi without confirming the wired connection.

I have a Roam 2 speaker, and I’d like to use its wake-up function to play every day around 7 a.m. However, I don’t want to keep it on the wireless charger overnight, even at full battery, as I’m concerned about preserving the battery health.The issue is that the alarm doesn’t go off consistently. It works when the speaker is on, connected to my phone, and set a minute ahead for testing. But when I leave it overnight, the alarm fails to go off, and the device doesn’t appear in the Sonos app in the morning.Is there a way to ensure the alarm works without having to keep it constantly on the charger or connected?

This has happened a few times recently. While watching a movie, the sound volume will drop momentarily, and a voice (obviously automated CG) says “Yes?”. This doesn’t seem to be in response to anything said in the movie. It is not Alexa, but a polite gentleman’s voice.It seems to be an automated response, but not sure why it is happening. Any ideas?

Hi, I’ve been watching premium content via a few streaming apps, Dolby Atmos sounds perfect via the Beam 2.  Today I’ve noticed that my Disney + premium app will not play Dolby Atmos through the Beam.  If I disconnect the Beam from my Philips TV, the TV plays Dolby Atmos perfectly.  I’ve tried everything, changed cables,  changed/messed around with the TV settings and the Beam settings.  In the end I’ve contacted Disney support to see if they could help and I’ve been told that Disney doesn’t support Dolby Atmos through external speakers including the Sonos Beam 2, only 5.1.  I’m slightly miffed at this.  Is this correct, and if so, anyone know a work around for the Beam 2 to get Dolby Atmos?

If I connect a cd player via line in to my era 300 pair can I stream it to my era 100 in another room? 

- Scenario: I have my phone, I’m at the beach (no wifi), I have 2 speakers (maybe two Roams or two Moves or whatever portable combination)- Question: Why am I not able to play the music on both speakers?  I have the Roam 2, the Move 2, I think they have Bluetooth 5.0, is it a limitation of the Bluetooth?I remember my years-old JBL speakers playing all together with Bluetooth… so what am I missing here?  Is Sonos not focusing on portable speakers at all? I need speakers that work together at home and I also can use them outside.  I would love to hear a technical reason for the lack of this capability And no, I’m not looking for workarounds, like bringing two phones, changing the SSID of the hotspot and all that jazz

Hi - I just bout a Sonos beam gen 2 but I’m having issues in connecting it with my LG50QNED tv. Basically, when I start the tv set up in the Sonos app and insert the HDMI cable in the HDMI arc port both the Sonos and the tv don’t recognise that the cable is inserted. I’ve tried factory reset, unplug and plug, etc. Is this a common issue?

Is bluetooth an option for Play 1?

I created a big playlist in Sonos from a bunch of Spotify playlists.  We then changed the linked Spotify account and all the songs are now greyed out.  I changed the linked Spotify back to thd original but they are still greyed out.  Any idea how I can get them back?  

Sonos support helped me set up a music library on my desktop and it worked.  When I tried it the next day it didn’t work unless I turned the firewall off.  The settings allow incoming connections for Sonos and File Sharing (SMB).  Automatically allow built in software to receive is also on.  I obviously don’t want to leave the firewall off.  Any ideas please?

For the past few years, I’ve been playing a 3 hour long White Noise track from Spotify on my Sonos One, as well as my son’s Sonos One. I select the track and then click repeat to make sure it continues through the entire night. We’ve never had issues using it this way in the past.Recently, and for reasons unknown, my Sonos Ones in both rooms will randomly start playing Jazz music around 5:00 AM / 6:00 AM. I check both Queues and the only tracks in each one are the White Noise track mentioned above, which is also set to repeat until I turn it off.All software and apps are up to date. I have no idea what’s causing this. There are no alarms set either. Completely random and waking me and my kids up early than necessary everyday.Any one else experiencing this issue or just me?Just had a 30 minute call with Support and after walking me through all of their suggestions, they too admitted they have no clue what’s causing this to happen.Tech, can you please take a look and fix this bug asap?

Noise cancellation is barely working when I’m in train or similar noisy place I still hear my surroundings, which is really annoying. In the Sonos app the noise cancellation mode is on  .. can I do sth else or do someone got a similar problem? 

My Sonos Arc voice control function will not control my Samsung QN65Q60CD smart TV. It took an hour of frustration to realize that Sonos phone support was hopelessly lost in the weeds on this problem. And Sonos provides no level 2 support to their customers. My question is whether the Sonos Arc is compatible with my make and model of smart tv mentioned earlier. Has anybody had similar issue? Any help is greatly appreciated. 

I have done like every possible troubleshooting combinations like 10 x each. BTW turning on, off, set up, reset,  resetup, add, remove. readd, create, remove rooms, surrounds, etc, etc!  Seriously. I know my TV works perfectly fine bc I tested it back with my previous Sony soundboard.. Anyone has any other ideas before I painfully declare defeat and make that dreadful call to support service ppl

I just got a pair of Sonos Ace Headphones.  I use a TIBO 3 box switch to connect my CD player, tape deck and record player to my amplifier.Any idea if I can play an LP through the TIBO via Bluetooth to my new headphones ?   Thanks!

Sonos f***ed-up my S1 system. I do not have any post-2020 speakers, just old ones, circa 2016. Overnight (via automatic update?), all of my old Play 1’s (six in total) that were powered on at the time disappeared from the S1 controller. I tried to add them back: no dice. Then I factory reset them and was told that they were no longer s1 compatible and had to install s2 controller and “downgrade” them back to s1. WTF?! So far the downgrade has NOT worked and I’ve been in an endless loop of frustration. I’m a scientist and fairly digital savvy, but not a high-end IT dude. This is effing ridiculous, and SONOS needs to get its programming act together so average users can readily fix this SONOS f***up.And . . . WHY have you shut down all the threads with people posting about this issue? It looks like you’re trying to sweep it under the rug, which is not a good look.PLEASE FIX THIS SO YOUR CUSTOMERS CAN USE YOUR FRIGGIN’ PRODUCTS. 

I have been a SONOS customer for over 10 years since the first SONOS speakers came out.  I have 10 speakers, Play 1, Play 3, Play 5 (Gen 1), 2 Boosts (one upstairs and one downstairs) and a new ERA 100.  The new SONOS (2) app causes slow response when changing songs either from my streaming services (Sirius, SONOS, Spotify, Amazon) OR my playlists on SONOS and Spotify.  I did not experience this slow, start and stop experience on the previous original SONOS app (v1).  I have a strong router (UNIFI) and 1Gb ISP, so my network should not be the root cause.  Nothing else on my WIFI network has this slow experience.  The Play5 is not supported on the new SONOS app, so I have separated it from the other speakers by using the old SONOS app (v1).   I am seeking possible solutions to the slow, start, stop issue that we are experiencing.  

HiJust wondering Why has myTuner Radio app  stopped playing Irish Radio stations i can play all the UK stations bot none of the Irish and i am based in Ireland …..

Hi, I Just bought a Sonos Era product and I thought it would be possible to use it to play music in one room while the same music was playing in amother room via the pair of speakers I always used connected to the central router via an Airport Express. But when I activate one on Apple Music or on the Sonos App, the other gets disconnected.Is there a solution to play music simultaneously in two rooms with a Sonos and a non-Sonos device?Thank you.

Sonos not connecting to tv but can play music on system
