I have an analog turntable with only RCA output. And I have both a Sonos One speaker and Sonos Port, which is connected to my home 5:1 Dolby stereo system. My stereo has wired speakers to two rooms, so I want to play my turntable through that system. The catch is, there is no place to put my turntable that is near my stereo or Sonos Port. Hence the question, is there a gadget I can connect to my turntable’s RCA output that would enable wireless connection to my Sonos Port? Sonos Amp seems like overkill. 

First - Congratulations Sonos on bringing Apple Music lossless streaming to your platform.I noticed that when I have a paired set of Play:5 speakers, I can stream Apple Music in lossless.However, if I pair a Sub to the Play:5’s I then lose the lossless connection.  I am assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that when you pair two Play:5's with a Sonos Sub, the Sonos system is configured as a home theater setup. In this mode, perhaps Sonos prioritizes synchronized audio playback and bass management over lossless audio?Please advise if there is a way to configure a room with a Play:5 pair and a Sub to receive lossless streaming from Apple Music.  Thanks!

Hi guys I’ve just received a new router and my phone is connected to the new router but my Sonos won’t connect as it says it has to be on the same network as my phone how do I do this please just keeps coming up device not found ??? 

Just acquired a Beam Gen 1 and trying to add to my S1 system. Speaker at factory defaults with flashing green light.  Used S2 app and followed instructions to downgrade. App finds speaker and on selecting downgrade to S1 the app immediately reports speaker now compatible with S1 and to use the S1 app to add to system.  That rang alarm bells as it didn't appear to downgrade the speaker - app immediately reported compatibility with S1.  Used S1 app to add Beam but after finding the speaker and trying to add the app states speaker on S2 software and can't be added.  Been through chat with Sonos and they couldn't explain it either. Have asked me to call on Monday to have a higher technical team look into it.  Tried multiple factory resets but same results. Also tried using different device but same result.  Anyone come across this and have any solution? 

Hi.  I’m looking to add a turntable to my existing setup, as birthday gift for my wife who is nostalgic for vinyl! From  the research I’ve done the world of vinyl seems more complicated (and expensive!) than I imagined. I’m still undecided if the best route is to add to my Sonos system or purchase a standalone turntable and speakers.  I currently have a beam, sub and two play ones in the lounge linked to my TV with the two play ones acting as surrounds and a seperate Sonos one in the kitchen.  Am I correct that if I buy a turntable and era 100 with line in this will allow me to send music to allmy other speakers? Would the era 100 be sufficient? (I believe the 5 is a better option but adds more expense so was hoping the existing sub etc would assist)  TIA 

I’m on version 80.06.03 of the iOS app and I am still unable to search or manage my local music library through the app. I’ve removed and re-added the library using the desktop app, uninstalled/reinstalled the app itself and even done an app reset but still no luck. Am I missing something simple here?

6 x sonos speakers and 1 x connect all completely bricked due to updating the new app. What a complete waste of money.  And looking on this site not one comment from Sonos themselves just endless customers reporting bricked systems.  I’m bored of turning them off and back on again. In the app they now all show up but zero audio from any speaker. And to think last month I was concerned I couldn’t alter the EQ on some of them. What a complete embarrassment for what I once thought was a brilliant forward thinking company.   

I am unable to add my new era 100 and sub mini to my new Beam on my TV. Sonis support has suggested a work around that does not work. Are the engineers working on this problem? Does anyone know when it will be fixed? 

Hi, I have just moved house so changed wifi. When I go on my Sonos app it says there are no systems found.I go to settings to update network but that option isn’t available. The manage button is greyed out. Not sure what to do now!  thanks 

When will our playlist be available again. I had it for awhile and I hope they still have it... Can you give us a time frame? Thanks

For 3 years now I have had 3 redundant Sonos speakers in my home and I’m getting nowhere with the live chat so here I am!  please can anyone help?! I have 3 speakers sat in 3 rooms of my house. 3 years ago I updated my WIFI and have subsequently not been able to connect to the speakers.  When I search for the speakers in the app it says the app responds with no speakers are on the same network.  Or Speakers need to be powered on - they are obviously, in fact the phone is sat on top of the speaker 😫 can anyone help?

A technical analysis  Andy PennellPrincipal Software Engineer at Xbox, Microsoft July 6, 2024On May 7th, 2024, Sonos, the successful home-audio company, released a new mobile app. This had been hyped in the press and was going to make product setup easier and greatly improve the user experience. However, when the app was actually released, it was, and somewhat remains, a disaster. As a certified Sonos fanboy/hacker/almost-employee I'm going to try and explain what happened, as best I can based on my reverse engineering skills, honed over the last decade and more of creating independent Sonos apps.How The "Old" App WorkedSonos speakers have been the Gold-standard UPnP device since their creation. I remember around 2005 the lobby to Microsoft Building 50, which was the home of the Windows Media Division at that time, was completely full of boxes of Sonos devices.

My Sonos era 300 is having severe glitchy audio skips. It’s apart of a surround sound setup with an arc, sub and another era 300. One era 300 works the other doesn’t. I took a video and recorded the audio of the issue, but unfortunately can’t upload that here. Anyone have experience with this?

I just change my router and im not able to connect  my systèm anymore !!!!I put 2.4 ghz I did everything Thatcher sonos ask me I cant see my systèm Thanks

System setup:Sonos Beam in Family room, connected to TV Sonos Amp in Living Room, connected to pair of Bose 701 speakersGot a new Amp for Father’s Day, and I set it up and, after the required update, went to play some of my Apple Music playlists through the app…and t every song immediately stops playing. I can play songs using Airplay directly onto the Amp, but not through the app.However, Apple Music still works through the Beam. And both Amazon Music and Sonos Radio work on the Amp; it’s just Apple Music that won’t work.

We have a pair of Sonos Era 100 speakers in stereo, all working ok. I updated the Sonos App today and for some reason the neon lights on the speakers are now permanently on. The previous app had a way to turn them off. I can’t find it on the new app. Any idea where it is now, or is there another way to turn the lights off. Any advice appreciated.

I recently got a Rega Planar 2 as well as a sonos 5 for my birthday. while trying to connect them I was told to go buy an RCA y cable and a pre amp. I bought both of those and plugged everything in. the sonos app identifies the turntable and it claims that there is noise coming out of it, however there is no sound to be heard. I cant find anything else online and I’ve been on hold for so long so I’m just reaching out here! thanks!

I have audio problems, I have the "Sonos arc" with 2 surround "era 100" but during the playback of the rear speakers the audio is cut off as if it had interference, something that with the previous "one" did not happen to me, it is worth mentioning that the "era" are new. The problem is the interaction between the "arc" and the "era" since if he ungrouped them I don't have a problem, does anyone know what it can be?

Hi all, I had a stereo pair of Play:1 speakers in my living room and I have since reset them and removed from the living room. When I first removed them, I removed them as a stereo pair and then the app put them as stand-alone speakers in the living room and that they were not online. Question is, will that eventually go away? I can't see how to remove them totally from the app. I have the latest version of the app. I had also reset them to factory by using the hold pause-play button till it goes green...

Hi! I am currently trying to install my Sonos Era 100.After following all the steps given in the Sonos App, I still can’t seem to set them up. After typing in the WiFi password, the notice: “Era 100 has been added, but may not be displayed in your system,…“ appears.  The WiFi is working just fine and the Speakers are completely new. Can anyone imagine what the problem is and how exactly I can fix this?

I have returned after a few months away, update the songs app but now it will not play Apple Music or Bandcamp .. it plays songs radio. I have tried resetting the app and the speaker 

Sub mini is not connecting, the app see it and the modem too but doesn’t connect to the ray bar and neither the eras speakers , how do I reset the sub? 

When listening to Spotify playlists, the same song plays over and over, even in the shuffle mode

Hi Community, What’s the current preferred way to connect a hi-fi with Sonos to use it as a player?  Ideally with digital audio, not line out from the Sonos device - I’d prefer the Denon AVC’s DAC to do the work. Is that Port now?  Sonos’s description of Port confused me - seems to be intended to broadcast a line out signal to Sonos speakers, which is the opposite. If it is Port, is there any advantage of Port over a second-hand Connect Gen 2? Thanks!

Hi, just seeking clarification or possibly a vague diagnosis based on not much information.  I have several One SLs, 1 Beam gen 2, one Move, one Era 100 and one Era 300. About 12 hours ago I was listening to music perfectly fine and all speakers were connected to the system. Now, the app is only showing the Eras and the Move, no One SLs or the Beam Gen 2. I have a vague understanding of the fact that the Eras don’t support SonosNet and are slightly different from the rest of the speakers I have. I just can’t understand why the other speakers aren’t showing up in the app. The Beam Gen 2 is wired into the wall by Ethernet cable and the rest are, I assume, connected to its SonosNet. When going to update the Network on each device, the app discovers all speakers except the Beam. Talking to support, they just recommend turning them all off and on again or resetting them, which I’m not going to do as I assume there has to be a network issue just based on the fact that the Eras appear as norm
