I use my Sonos system most of the time when I go to bed at night. For the past couple of months I can’t just hit the Sonos app, select my source of music and listen. It appears that the tunes are playing because the white line that shows the music advancing is moving along but no sound. I hit the pause button and get a message saying that the pause function isn’t working now, try later. I can usually just try selecting a different station and get some tunes…sometimes. sometimes I have to select several different stations to finally get some music. The system is dropping components again. That used to happen on a regular basis but not at all since the app upgrade. At least until a couple of days ago. Not sure what’s going on.

Quick community Q: How is the latest version of the desktop app for Mac? (As background, I have deliberately not updated the desktop controller since May as it was the most reliable way to control my system and I wanted to make sure that I at least kept that. Let’s not reopen the whole app issue up again) However recently it has begun to struggle with a few things - most obviously when trying to start or switch music/playlists in Apple Music. What is the latest version of the app like? I’m happy to switch across if it improves things but I really, really, really don’t want to update it and find out that the new version does less than the one I currently have Anyone have any experience of using the latest version of the desktop controller on Mac (and I’m using a 2015 iMac) Thanks!

I’m looking to use two era 100s in stereo config with my SVS subwoofer. Can I use my gen 2/S2 connect amp using the sub output to the SVS and then group with the era’s? Ultimately I need bluetooth to connect the sonos to my peloton.

Hello,Newbie here, first time posting and new to Sonos. I’m looking into installing a surround sound system in a medium to large open room for watching movies and playing music. Was thinking of getting the Arc Ultra, Sub 4 and a pair of Sonance 8” ceiling speakers with the Sonos amp. Using ceiling speakers due to wife doesn’t want to see  speakers on stands behind couch. Thank you for ,the assistance. Should I connect amp and Arc sound bar to router with network ?Will my Samsung tv remote control my audio in tv mode?

BonjourJ'ai changé de live box et mon système sonos ne fonctionne plus...

Hello. I don t understand why my AirPod stay 2 seconds connect to my tv and after disconnect to go to my beam. Even if I change the sound settings on my tv.

Dose it make sense to add a Mini sub to my Arc Ultra? Or do I just bite the bullet and get a Sub 3 or 4?Leaning towards the Mini,but will it work?

Where do I find the latest version of this ?

Which Sonos app has the bass and treble and bass boost because the one I'm on right now doesn't have it 

Himy beam gen 2 has decided to change the volume on its own if I turn it up it just goes down

I'm now truly fed (gatvol!!!) up trying to stream you tube music on sonos. Nothing works.

Hi. Installing a new system. For some reason it has established 2 systems on the same router. This means I cannot connect my 100s to the Arc Ultra (system2) as surround sound because they are claimed by system1. Tried  ‘forget’ function multiple times. Doesn’t work. Cannot find help completely deleting a system anywhere. HELP!!

I am building an master bedroom suite with a small home theater area.  Ideally I would like to use 2 sets of in wall speakers with 2 Sonos Amps and an in wall sub with it’s own amp.  However there would not be any Sonos voice control or audio swapping to the Ace headphones with this setup.I talked to a Sonos salesperson and she was not overly helpful.  She suggested using an Arc Ultra in the front.  Obviously it won’t be as nice aesthetically, but I also don’t think the sound quality would be as good.  It just seems that having the front speakers further apart is going to give better surround sound than a soundbar.Any ideas or suggestions?  

Trying to get my Sonos port to connect to WiFi. No flashing green light so the app doesn’t see the system. Works if plugged into Ethernet but my hub is in a different room so not ideal. Any ideas?

Please can anyone advise me :- Is it at all possible to add a Sonos One SL ( gen 1 ) to my existing system of 2 Sonos SL gen 2 in another room ? Many Thanks Guys  Moderator edit: removed the word “Play” from model name

I have a pair of Play:1 speakers linked as a stereo pair. I generally use an Amazon echo dot in the same room to ask for music etc. In the last few months the previous behaviour where the volume of the sonos speakers would automatically reduce when communicating with alexa no longer happens. If I have the music on loud then I either have to reduce the volume or shout very loudly!Have tried all the usual uninstall/reinstall, repair, unlink/link the sonos skill in alexa etc but with no success. I should say that other speakers in my system DO reduce volume when communicating with alexa (including an aging connect!) but not the Play:1s. Since I still use the old connect I am still on an S1 system. Any suggestions?

I have 3 Sonos Ones installed upside down.  They are slightly above eye level and that orientation allows me to access the volume controls.  I’m old and my memory sucks, but I seem to remember there was a setting that allowed you to reverse the direction of the volume buttons for this installation.  I can’t find it anymore and the volume direction is backwards now.  Am I imagining things, or they have always been that way?

the answer seems to be yes.if i want to stream its cool but what about all the music I have on my library. I have to play on desktop and hit airplay and then the app is only a volume control LOLive tried so many times and all the instruction online do not work for loading my library to sonos. question is why have an add library funtion on the app iof it doesnt work. beyond frustrated.

Hello, I am new to the world of playing digital files on any device, not to mention Sonos. I am noticing quite a few new classical music releases are offered by lossless file rather than a compact disc. How do I play those files on my Sonos? Also, is it possible to hook a device to the Line-in to do that? If so, how do I do it?Thank you! 

I e got a playbar and two s1 speakers about 10 years old. They work ok. I recently added an era 100 that drops out intermittently.  When it is working, The status on the app shows its wifi is not connected though. How can it be made to work full time? Nits on channel 44 the others are on channel 1.v annoying 

Looking forward to lossless Apple Music playing on my Amp . Nope  . I can play an Apple track on my phone from the Apple Music app . Lossless badge clearly seen . Then play the same track through my Apple Music service but selected through the Sonos amp . No lossless badge . Track is Hozier , Take me to the Church .  So conclude no Apple Lossless music on Sonos , despite recent email . And yes have checked the Sonos amp software is up to date and the Sonos app and Apple Music app . Any idea what might be going on ?. 

Trying to fix the Spotify Connect stopping working on my system, i removed the Spotify service. But whatever reason, it also delete the rest of my services.Now when i try to add the service again, the search screen returns nothing, no spotify, no youtube, just nothing. any idea? 

I see lots of aged threads on the issue where Sonos stops playing during ads. Most often, pause and play restarts as and music continues until some future random ad louses up my vibe.Yes, my apps and systems are up to date.Yes, my internet speeds are stellar.Yes, my mesh network is operating correctly.Yes, the moon orbit seems to be correct.Yes, I have logged out of Spotify and logged back in.

I just had to re-install my Sonos System following a change of internet provider. I did have my system wired using a Sonos Boost that is now redundant. I also played my Project Debut Carbon Evo turntable through a Cambridge Solo pre amp connected to Sonos Port. Due to it being a wired connection I had great sound quality throughout my house. I realise now I could just line into the Play 5 directly from the Pre amp and not use the Sonos Port ( or connect other equipment elsewhere such as a CD player). However, I want to maintain sound quality as best as I can and room flexibility for listening. What do others recommend as best solution?
