Hello, the house has the Sonos Bridge for SonosNet with tons of Play:1 and Play:5 speakers along with Connect:AMP in SonosNet, which none of these devices are AirPlay 2 compatible.  Ok.Besides using the Sonos S1 app directly for Apple Music, i would like to see if i can use the Apple’s native Apple Music to stream music to the Play:1, Play:5 and speakers connected to Connect:AMP.  I’m looking for cost effective solution to create a “group” with AirPlay 2 compatible Sonos speaker with certain Play:1 speakers (as a starter) at a specific room, basement study room, so i can play from Apple Music app to this group.  Of course, i may need to adjust my groups depending on where i want to play music from Apple Music app to different parts of the house.  Total hack solution.Looks like the Roam 2 (cheapest that supports AirPlay 2) cannot connect to SonosNet.Can someone suggest “cheapest” way to create group using Sonos speaker (just one) with AirPlay 2 support, with existing (older non-AirPlay

So, depending on page in the S1 app the menu is either placed at the bottom and consistent with the rest of the page, or in most cases the menu is instead at the top, with some kind of ”new” look, not consistent with the design and also leaving the place at the bottom, where the menu used to be, blank. I see absolutely no benefit here. What was the idea behind this change? It’s not like this on iPhone. 

Please help as I am going crazy trying to sort this.Due to other issues, I had to factory restore my Sonos One but am now finding it impossible to re add Google Voice Assistant, I have relinked the account (I only have one, so no issues there) tried adding Alexa as an experimet, which does add, but does not react to voice comands, says system not online, but it definitely is,  just want to get Google back up and running, have tried everything with no luck. All I have is the message "This may take a minute. If it is taking too long, try again" and the icon just spinning away, I have no idea what to try next.Any help would be much appreciated. Kind regards Darren. 

Hi there,  I’m hoping someone come help me, I have quite a large Sonos system. 31 devices total and I’ve spent the last week hardwiring the system with cat 6 data into a Unifi switch. I’ve tested all my cables and confirm there are no faults. I have used UE300’s for all my era100’s, which make up most of my system. I’m getting SFP blocks on my Unifi switch and am unable disable WiFi on a couple of devices.  I have tried turning my WiFi off and watched my devices list on the Unifi app to see if the last few devices would disconnect but they still said they were connected some how. I’ve tried changing the WiFi password to trick them off the network before rebooting the devices and network. I’ve tried multiple times on the app to disable WiFi on the last couple of devices but they continue to say WiFi enabled or the option is blacked out.  I have tried deleting my WiFi network off of the Sonos app and it came back once I played music.  What do I need to do to create a hardwired system? I’

Sonos for Windows 11 starts but turns itself off while searching for system.  My system works fine with both the latest Android and iOS apps. I have tried deleting it, clearing the registry, restarting windows and downloading and reinstalling it on Windows but have the same problem.My network is set to “Private, and I have set a rule on my firewall, which is provided by Bitdefender.Any help would be appreciated

Because of the above fault i cannot use the device without it being plugged into the router via a Ethernet cable which is not ideal for us.Sonos has informed me the product is outside a warranty period and have offered a 30% of coupon if i return the product.I think it should be replaced. Any thoughts

Hi, I have a Samsung QE65S95FATXZT connected to a Sonos Arc through HDMI port #3 (ARC/eARC).When I use the native Disney+ app on the Samsung TV to play Dolby Atmos content, the Sonos app only shows “Multichannel PCM 5.1” instead of Dolby Atmos.TV Settings:Audio Out → Auto Anynet+ →  Active Dolby Atmos → Active HDMI eArc → Sonos ArcCould you please help me?Both Sonos and Samsung support keep blaming each other.

My Sonos system has aLiving room setup with a Beam, Mini-Sub and two Sonos OneSL (Gen 2) Kitchen with two Sonos One (Gen2) All running latest firmware All Sonos items connect via WiFi and all on the Main WiFi networkMy Network isAsus RT-AX86U Pro as the Main router which generally serves the Living Room Asus RT-AX86U as an AirMesh node in the Kitchen. All running the latest Asus firmwareAll works well, until I activate a Guest Network (with nothing attached to the Guest Network), then in the Living Room the Sub-Mini and a OneSL will drop off the network. The Beam stays on however and I think the other Living Room OneSL then connects via the Kitchen AirMesh node. The Kitchen system remain OK.To be clear all the Sonos speakers can only connect via the Main WiFi network and have never been on the Guest Network. So just having a active Guest Network is enough to mess up WiFi connectivity to those Sonos speakers normally served by the Main router, except for the Beam. Very odd behaviour and

For weeks now whenever I tune into a podcast through Sonos, I get just an endless stream of advertisements, often repeating the same one minute string. I've tried signing out and re-authorizing and resetting and everything and nothing helps. What's going on? Anyone else of this issue? It is rendering my system useless.

I have many Sonos speakers at a home site.  Around 50.  They are split between two systems.  THe internet at this place is using Omada TP Link.  They are constantly experiencing dropouts on the sonos speakers or music just stops altogether.  Sonosnet really isn’t an option as most speakers are in home theater setups, or they are the new era speakers.  I have assigned each speaker a static IP and on all the managed switches enabled STP not RSTP, and MGMp snooping.  Now, I know enough about this stuff to be dangerous, but so far my tricks havent helped much.  Any help?  Do i assing the speakers to a specific nearest AP next.  Very frustrating.

I plan to use Sonos amp to drive my JBL l100 MKII speaker, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate and if it can fully utilize the speaker's capabilities.Do you have any friends with experience in this area? Please advise.

Does this exist, if not can Sonos please make it. I would love to be able to save specific room settings  like base and surround volume. I like different settings when listening to different types of music. Would love to be able to save settings so I don’t have to constantly adjust.  

Hi folks. I'm new to Sonos and by turn the community. I have a Beam gen 2 and mini sub. The speech enhancement keeps switching off. I've read a community thread from a year ago discussing the same issue with the Arc ultra. That didn't appear to have been remedied. Has anyone got any further info/ideas about how to fix this.  TIA.  Jay. 

Actually, I should not be shocked that there is no way to remove a speaker, or in my case a Sonos Connect.  After all, this is Sonos!  I have a pair of Era 100 speakers arriving today, and was planning on setting them up in my living room, using the same name as the Connect -- “Living Room”.  I just read in several threads you have to wait until they just drop off from the network.  That is insane! While we’re on the subject, whoever named these speakers “Era” should be fired!  Sounds like “Error”! If Sonos did not make such great sounding speakers, I would have dumped them years ago!

What's the best practice to connect the audio of a cable set top box to the ERA100 Pro for TV sound?

Can someone help me understand why apple music sounds so much better on my sonos devices when played through the sonos app than via my apple tv?

Hello, I was wondering if it’s possible to play sound through the Sonos Arc and the Sonos Ace at the same time. My friend likes louder sound so he’d like to listen using the headphones while I would listen using the soundbar.

Hi.Have a sonos beam gen 2 and sub mini. Sometimes listen to sonos radio. The problem is after a short while it stops playing. If I try and restart all it says is, couldn't play content try again Have tried reseting my phone, unplugging the beam gen 2 which means I have to reconnect to my network but still the same. Have now done this more than once but still the same.Both the Beam Gen 2 and sub mini are less than 3 months old. Would be greatful of any suggestions or recommendations. ThanksEddie

My Sonos move is plugged in, connected via Bluetooth to my Spotify app on my phone. When i press any button on my speaker, it responds but there is no sound no matter what i do. Any help will do. Hope is not a hardware issue.

I used to have a Cocktail Audio X10 device connected as my Sonos Music Library to stream my 50,000+ tracks. This stopped working some while ago and I believe it is to do with it using SMBv1.Since then I have connected the X10’s back-up 2TB drive and connected it via a USB hard drive bay and set it as a share and then mapped it to Sonos as my Music Library. Two days ago this worked, but it was my back-up drive that was out of date I wanted to use the actual X10 drive. I removed this, set up the share and defined it to Sonos. Nothing, it does not seem to recognise it even though it is shared and defined correctly. Tried back to the back-up drive and that does not work now either. The only thing that does work is if I define the music directory on my laptop, which only has a few albums in it..Any suggestions to resolve gratefully accepted as I currently am unable to listen to all my  music. 

Ive tried everything - hold power for 20 sec - hold play - press & release power hold on for everALL YOUTUBE VEDIOSNOTHING while charging there is an orange light.Do I need a funeral?

With tvOS 26 on Apple TV 4K can I connect a Sonos soundbar via Airplay instead of HDMI? Thanks,Tom

Hi, I am having an issue with my Sonos Ace when listening to some music - very distinctly happens in the right ear (extremely subtle) but there is definitely some buzzing/distortion. Anyone think that there could be a hardware issue? I tried turning off ANC, and also plugged the headphones in as well and the issue still persists.

I know there are a lot of forum responses on this - but what is the fix for Apple Music not wanting to play consistently from within the Sonos S2 app?? I rrauthorize daily and it still is very sensitive if I can get it playing at all. In addition, the AirPlay says it’s unable to connect as well. I have Sonos Arc, amps, Five etc and most recent software.
