Subject line says it all.  I have an OLD system: ZP80 and ZP100, on the S1 app.  I’m a super early adopter, on a super low budget.  I can get a Play:1 (used, obviously) for a good price.  My concern is that because the Play:1 seems to be compatible with both S1 and S2, adding to my otherwise purely-S1 system will break it.  Any feedback is appreciated!

Hi, for the last 3 weeks or so Sonos is constantly dropping out and losing connection. Sometimes it skips through tracks, other times it just stops playing. I also can not connect to Sonos speakers via the Spotify app. This all worked before and we haven’t changed our internet setup. Is anyone else having this problem? What can I do to fix it? 

I have two play 1 speakers and I want to be able to stream YouTube to them by adding a speaker with airplay 2. What would be the most cost effective option? Thanks 

 Sorry if this is the wrong place to postHello and good afternoon! I was curious if perhaps anyone on here may be able to assist me with an issue I ran into regarding streaming content and my Sonos play bar please. I have 2 play bars and a sub but I’ve only ever used them for music, however I purchased a new TV recently and I’d like to set up the Sonos system to work with the TV. The television is Samsung 85” model U8000F. Unfortunately for me the tv does not have a dedicated optical audio output for a cable connection to the play bar, so to overcome this obstacle I acquired a device called the Insignia audio extractor (links below)  in order to connect the play bar to the tv. The Tv does have ARC/EARC in one of the HDMI ports as well, but the extractor only supports EARC I believe. After I got everything set up I experienced difficulty with streaming content not loading/not working/strange error messages. I thought it was a Disney plus issue at first, but that wasn’t the only service

I just received a push notification on my iPhone suggesting I check out the “Hit List” on Sonos Radio.That’s odd… I’m pretty sure I had turned marketing notifications off: Does Sonos no longer honor this preference?Sonos has generally been good in the past about honoring this preference and not abusing its notification access. I’m hoping this is just a one-time oversight that will be quickly fixed.

Where can I purchase a replacement hanging strap for white Sonos Play? Also, any upcoming mounting accessories in the works?    

My old Playbar isn’t recognizing the remote on my new Hisense Model: 55QD7QF.  It worked fine with the LG tv remote that I just replaced.  I tried changing remotes with the S1 app to no avail.  Any suggestions are much appreciated.  Thanks for your time.

I’m unable to get my new Sonos sub 4 to connect to my new arc ultra. Have followed instructions, done heaps of factory resets. I can see it in the app, but just get a slow green flashing light or an orange light. Spent hours this afternoon trying to get it to work. Tried the help chat bot but it keeps going around in circles. Can’t find anything on line, most keep saying how easy it is. Do I take it back to my place of purchase and ask for a new one? 

I have a Beam 1 with a sub mini and two Play 1s set up s surrounds. I am replacing the Beam with an Arc. Do I need to remove the surround set-up before doing so? 

Hi everyone,I’m running into an issue with my Sonos setup and wanted to check if anyone has experienced something similar.After making some recent network/setup changes, my speakers are occasionally showing up as “not found” or taking a long time to connect in the app, even though the WiFi connection seems stable.What are the most effective troubleshooting steps you’ve found for resolving intermittent connectivity or device detection issues in a Sonos system? Also, are there any network settings or router configurations that tend to cause these kinds of problems?

When playing my television, which has a Sonos arc ultrasound bar, and subwoofer, the speakers driven by the amp are cutting in and out constantly. How do I fix that?

I have a Sonas Arc Ultra Soundbar connected to a Sony - 65" Class BRAVIA 2 II LED 4K Tv.Bottom Line Up Front:  Volume Dialogue Fluctuates Between Cable Box and Streaming Apps BADLY.  I’m having trouble with the sound as it relates to the cable box (and certain shows on steaming apps).  When watching a game (NBA) for example (cable box), it sounds like the announcers are talking out of a tin can with barely any dialogue volume. However, when I watched a movie on a streaming app, it sounds better than a movie theater!Not sure what I’m doing wrong, but I’d like consistency. Can anyone help?

Why is Sonos ignoring YouTube music as my default music service when I am specifying it as my default? It is not an acceptable service to default to Spotify when I have not chosen that as my default option. I have seen other queries dismissed by saying Youtube is not supported but obviously it is supported as a service and I can select it as my preferred service?So make it PREFERRED.        

When the speaker is charging a flashing white light appears, but as soon as the cable is unplugged the light goes off and nothing happens no matter how long the power button is held.I hadn't used the speaker for several years and charged it for many hours because of that, but it doesn't respond to anything - neither when charging nor without.

Hi all, I have tried updating my Sonos app, but the apple App Store no longer lists it as an active download, and doesn’t even have any reference to it. Does anyone know why?

This was working fine up until a day or so ago. Now when I say Alexa play “radio X,y,z” it starts to seem as though it will play back, but then says “hmmmm, it is not currently available” If I go into the app, whatever I have requested shows in the playback section, but paused, and if you hit the play button, it simple goes back to pause/not playing again. I have reset the whole thing, removed it from my Amazon account etc, but nothing has worked so far. Thanks for any help. 

Hi All,I just got a Beam Gen 2 for my living room (I’m living in an apartment, so the area is not that big) and I’m loving it. I want to improve the experience, so I want to get the Mini Sub or a pair of the ERA 100.In your opinion what will make more sense to get first, unfortunately I can’t get both now.I’m only watching movies or playing music, nothing really pro or specific.Thanks for the help!

Please stop the endless UI redesigns and pointless icon color changes (like switching between white and yellow for Night Mode/Speech Enhancement).Instead, focus on fixing core functionality. Right now, the volume slider box is completely broken — the touch target/hit-box is too small and it doesn't register immediately. It takes multiple attempts just to adjust the volume. This is a critical usability flaw for a premium system. Please fix the volume slider response.

Is there a way to turn the autopause feature off? I found it a bit 'sketchy' at times when wearing a beanie or hat of some sort. Which in these colder countries like Finland where i live is quite unavoidable to be without at times.  It 9 out of 10 times pauses if I turn my head a certain way if I'm wearing a hat. 

Hi all. I hope you can help.  I have had a Sonos system successfully for ages, and recently added a Roam SL. on set up all goes ok, and works for a while, then it decides to drop off the system. It is visible in the app, but whenever I try to play something it states “connection timed out” and I can’t see the volume slider - just a thin white line. i have sky broadband with a deco mesh system. I have a Sonos product plugged directly into the router.   

Anyone else getting this? When you click the play triangle, it shows the square stop for a moment (which shows when it’s playing), and then goes back to the play triangle. The infinite mix channels are fine, but Live on 1 and Live on 2 are not working.

Hello everyone I’m new to the Sonos community and would like some guidance before posting my issue.I’m currently experiencing a problem with my Sonos setup after recent changes/updates, and I’m not sure if it’s a settings issue, network issue, or something else.Has anyone else faced similar problems after updates, and what steps helped you resolve it?I’ve already tried basic troubleshooting like restarting the system and checking my network, but the issue is still there.Any advice or direction would be really appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Since the firmware update on April 14 (player version 94.1-76070), CEC control between my Sony Bravia XR-55A90J and Arc Ultra is broken. Audio via eARC works fine, but:    1.    No volume OSD – changing volume with the TV remote adjusts the Arc Ultra volume, but the TV no longer shows the on-screen volume indicator. This works intermittently at best.    2.    No standby sync – when I turn off the TV, the Arc Ultra does not power down. Instead it stays on with a green LED (muted), rather than going into standby.Both features worked correctly before the update.What I’ve tried (none resolved the issue):    •    Factory reset of the Arc Ultra + full re-setup via Sonos app    •    New certified Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 cable    •    Cold restart of both TV and Arc Ultra (unplugged from power, 60+ seconds)    •    Toggling Bravia Sync (CEC) off/on with cold restart in between    •    Removing all other HDMI devices (PC on HDMI 4)    •    Toggling eARC and passthrough mode settings on the TV

I have bought a Sonos Beam 2, and 2 ERA 100 speakers. I am not aiming for full surround sound per se, but 1 additional speaker in our kitchen (open plan with the living room - we can see TV form kitchen) and another at the back of the living room facing into the room from behind.Have tweaked the sound delay for the soundbar so it sounds more aligned and less delayed in the kitchen, still some level of reverb when too loud but it is a lot better.the sound sometimes drops from the ERAs (connected via wifi), I do have a wifi extender in the kitchen so wonder if my phone switching between the wifi network impacts this or if the speakers are only connected to the main wifi (i have not connected them to the extender - but maybe should consider that).
