My Sonos amp is connected to my Sony tv via the Arc HDMI port, but it doesn’t recognize it.  I also have an Arc sound bar and it is connected via another HDMI port.  What do I need to do to get my tv HDMI arc port to recognize there is something there?

Sonus Roam wont play music. System sounds are audible but no music. Roam is recognized by controller on laptap and on phone. When Roam is powered on, mobile controller loses connection, but not laptop. Have rebooted phone, router and roam. Any ideas?

I've got the Sonos Web App on my Mac.  I have a system at work, a system at home, and one in my summerhouse. I've got connected to my home system, but can't find a way to change back to my other systems. I can logoff and on again, but it is inconvenient.

Hi there, I am new to Sonos having picked up a couple of s/h Play:1s with which I am very impressed. I decided to purchase a new Roam 2 as I liked the idea of using the voice functions etc. Last night I set an alarm for this morning and it didn’t go off. I have checked in the app and it is there set correctly and I have battery save turned off. I noticed that the lights were off on the unit and it wasn’t responding to voice commands. During the day I can see that it enters sleep mode with the lights off and non-responsive to voice. My question is, how does it work as an alarm if it goes into unresponsive mode? Am I missing something obvious?

 A few months ago (post the big app update) I followed some advice here to get Swiss Jazz radio working again.This was basically to add a custom URL to TuneIn for the station, favourite it, then browse to TuneIn →  Favourites in the Sonos app and add it to Sonos Favourites. This worked and all was well. Now, this doesn’t work, I can click the link for the station in the Sonos app and it will not play. Other (predefined) stations work on tuneIn so I know the authorisation is okay. I’ve gone back through the steps I followed previously and can’t get it to work, two issues:Attempting to Favourite the station in the TuneIn app whilst its playing does not work, it asks for the name but does not save it - if I go Library the count against Favourites is 0. If I enter that section, there’s nothing there. Even if that did work, I can’t browse TuneIn favourites in the Sonos app, the section is not there under the TuneIn provider. Proven this by adding a predefuined station as a favourite in Tune

I recently came across a problem where I can’t connect a gen2 SUB to my stereo pair of Sonos Ones. App says I need a compatible speaker and only lists all the soundbars as being compatible. In the past I’ve had no issues connecting gen1,2 and 3 SUBS to a pair of Ones and also a pair of Play1s. Has something changed that I’m not aware of and can now only be connected to a soundbar? Thanks 🙏🏻 

Does anyone have any experience with connecting Sonos Amp:connect devices to Meraki switches? I have just installed four Meraki switches, replacing some old Netgear switches. One switch acts as the core switch and the three other switches are connected via trunk ports. RSTP is enabled, core switch has a priority of 0, other switches are set to 12288, 20480, and 28672. STP guard is not enabled on ports. There are approx 14 Sonos Amp devices on the network with the majority plugged into one of downstream switches. The sonos devices were producing a number of bdpu and loop issues so we disabled the wireless on each sonos device as there is ample cabling. We have also now plugged in the majority of sonos devices into the core switch. We are no longer seeing bdpu or loop alerts but the devices are intermittently disappearing from the sonos controller s1 app (from the rooms view on the app). I have also noticed that I'm unable to ping the devices when this happens but then they suddenly come

Cannot use SONOS APP in my new iphone. Tried login SONOS APP with my acount , with my partner acount, tried create new acount… reset  the speakers, update the app, unpluge and plug again ….still  CAN NOT find my SONOS speakers. But my old phone still working. Any idea or sugestions, please?

I just bought my first Sonos product - the arc ultra. I see Sonos has an upgrade program. Is that exclusively for older products? Just owning the new soundbar, do I not get the upgrade discount? I’m looking to buy a couple of Era 300 speakers as surrounds and hoping I can use this upgrade discount for it. Thanks for the help!

I am deeply relieved to see Search for local Music library return to the mobile Sonos app for Android, since i have a large-ish music library on a NAS.Additionally, I am intrigued after this latest update to see a playlist show up in the mobile app that was never there before. It was created in Windows Media player.This is...interesting...to me, since one of the reasons I invested in Sonos was a feature that never came to fruition: the *advertised* ability to import playlists from iTunes. This feature *never* worked for iTunes on Windows. Perhaps it did for iTunes on Mac, but I don’t own a Mac. Suddenly, importing a playlist from Windows Media works, without me even trying? Odd, but I’ll take it.Anyhow - over the years, I have created 10+ Playlists in the Sonos S2 Desktop app (Version 16.2, Build 79153290), but these are no longer visible after the Android updates of the Summer of 2024.The playlists still display in the Desktop S2 app. Does anyone know how to make them visible to the m

I have a ZP80 and a ZP90 which both drop the signal when I’m using the RCA outputs. Both work fine when using the COAX output. I believe this is because the COAX out bypasses the Sonos DAC and instead uses the DAC in my amplifier. My problem is, I want to use one of these with an amp that doesn’t have a DAC (or a COAX input). So, my question is, is there some kind of software update (or reset) that will get these old ZPs working through the RCA outs? I use the S1 controller and have mostly older Sonos gear that all works fine on S1.Alternatively, should I buy an external DAC that I can control from my ZP (use the COAX or Digital outputs) and plug the DAC into my amp using RCA outputs? Or would this be throwing good money away on old gear?  Thank you,Scott 

I hear a knock sound coming from my speakers

Since the last update I have a couple of my Amps that will no longer detect the Sonos speakers. I have factory reset the Amp but still no joy.I have also swapped speakers from amps that are detecting and still unable to trueplay.Anyone else see this?

Can I connect the sonos era 100 to a turnable with the sonos amp? Some one told me in reddit thats not possible?  I already ordenes my pair or sonos era.

Si tengo un par de One, que pasa si conecto un Sub4 ???

HiI have a beam gen2 in the tv room, 1 move in the kitchen and 2 one sl in the living room.It is not possible to cast music in the all house unless i UNPAIR the 2 one sl. It works either with move + 2 sl paired or beam + move. When I unpair the 2 one sl, i can cast beam+move+2 one sl   Do you know if there is a solution to that?Thanks 

My music library is on a USB flash drive plugged into my TP-Link router. Speaker system comprises two pairs of Ones and one pair of Era 300s. I cannot play anything from the music library on just the Eras. Music library plays fine on both of the One pairs. I can get the Eras to play from the library only if I’m already listening on the Ones and then group in the Eras. All external streaming services and Airplay from my phone work absolutely fine on the Eras & they sound perfect. When I try to play direct from the music library to the Eras, the Sonos app says “Content is unavailable”. I’ve done a factory reset on the Eras and this hasn’t helped. I’m hoping you can though!

Bonsoir tous,Hier j’ai streamé de la musique via mon iPhone sur mon beam 1 et aucun souci. lorsque j’ai quitté le programme de musique sur mon iPhone pour regarder la télé tout fonctionnait également bien.Et maintenant j’ai un souci : lorsque j’éteins la télé la musique se met en route toute seule.  Je ne comprend pas d’où ça vient.  Je met mon iPhone en mode avion et ça continue … le plus embêtant c’est quand ça se met en route la nuit …qui aurait une idée ? Moderator edit:Google Translate-Good evening everyone,Yesterday I streamed music via my iPhone to my beam 1 and no problem. When I left the music program on my iPhone to watch TV everything worked fine as well.And now I have a problem: when I turn off the TV the music starts playing by itself. I don't understand where it comes from. I put my iPhone in airplane mode and it continues ... the most annoying is when it starts playing at night ...who has any idea?

My app keeps requesting me to sign in as the owner of my equipment. I sign-in and it keeps saying I need to sign in however, if I click the face at the top right it states I’m signed in. App issue or… driving me crazy!! 

Hello. Im Ralf and writing from Estonia. I recently purchased new sonos Arc Ultra and older Sub gen3. Really appreciatethe sound quality and sub plays really low. Definitely planning to buy dual subs one day. And i had an product idea for you guys. Dear Sonos. Lets name it Sub Ultra (Gen1) . Idea would be that it would fill the precious needs of bassheads and bigger rooms with powerful and low bass. Becayse the arc ultra allready sounds so friking big, loud and good then i feel like the sub cant keep up woth it to the end. And dont get me wrong. Sub is awesome allready. And fits well everywhere with its size and design. But hear me out….. SUB ULTRAVisually Same design as regular sub gen 3 and 4. But….. Bigger. Same dual woofer system but…..instead of dual 8 inches it would be dual 10inches… So not overkill so it would not get too heavy and big but would maybe be possible to produce 20hz as its lowest frequencies. But more inportant it wouldnt lose its power compared to sound that other

We have a problem with a customer's system. The system correctly detects 3 SONOS ONES but when we try to add a fourth player the app detects it but then the message "unable to add SONOS ONE to account" appears. The same happens when we try to add a Port. On the login page (https://sonos.com/login) after entering email and password appears the warning "system not registered require validation email" Could this be the cause of the problem? 

I know that the new/current Nov 2024 Sonos app can’t be used to browse DNLA servers as a music source, but using other apps it is still possible to send files from a DNLA or UPnP server to play on my Sonos Beam Gen 2. I turned off the automatic app and firmware upgrades in May though. Does anyone know if more recent firmware keeps the option to play over UPnP to my Sonos speaker? I’d be tempted to try the new version of the Sonos app+firmware if I knew that I wouldn’t loose the UPnP playback direct to the speaker.

So I share a library with a bunch of people which is run by a friend of a friend. Intermittently I get buffering issues playing movies and I'm being told it's the lack of DTS-HD/MA codecs that is causing it. This is the message the guy sent me: "The issue is likely your Sonos soundbar like mentioned before. It’s limited codec capabilities, can’t process DTS-HD MA or DTS-X. Suggest trying to stream supported codecs." I use a Sonos arc and a shield TV pro. The Sonos arc is plugged into the eARC port of my Sony Bravia x90l TV. Right now I've changed the shield TV settings audio format to be AUTO and when I check the Sonos app it shows DTS surround. So besides the buffering, it also doesn't sound as good without the DTS-HD. Can anyone with similar experience provide some insights? 

Dears, Following the launch of the new app I lost all access to my local NAS ( Synolgy) .from my android APP Sonos. Following several updates of the APP, I understand that this was fixed. However until today I still encounter a no access to my local library. I have followed the instruction given by Sonos. Changed the SMB min to 2/3 on my NAS Synology and reboot it. I am running the last version of the NAS OS. I have added my access and path to my NAS on my Sonos APP. ( ok, no issues), I have launch a library update/new scan ( ok, it run and give me the "completed" task message at the end of the scan. My lical music link does show on my Sonos app and I can selected ( arriving to the scran woth the various browsing section from artis name, album... until folder browsing) BUT when try to select any of the possible way to explore my library I have an "something went wrong"  error ( grey box, nu number, no info) and cannot go further. And of course I lost all my playlist or they do not disp

I have multiple Sonos components, Beams, Sub, Amp, Roam, Play 3s, Ones and the whole system used to work just fine through the whole house. At some point (and I must admit I followed the crowd and blamed it on one of the updates), the two units at the furthest end of the house started playing up. Disappearing from the system, losing connection, etc. They are a pair of Ones, linked as a stereo pair. Anyway eventually I took acloser look and the whole system had switched over to WM:1, uncommanded. It had always been on Sonosnet and had been fine. The two troublesome units are borderline outside the wifi range for the house. My Amp was the primary unit and was still wired to the router, so I switched it to wired but that hasn't fixed it. It shows WM:0 in the system but everything else is still WM:1 and the problem persists (the rest of the system is fine, but it is well within range of the router). I can’t find a way to switch the rest of the system over to Sonosnet again. Is there a quic
