Recently, Sonos plays but intermittently, missing many tracks.  I use the app on a Windows 11 PC. I’ve checked that my subscription to the streaming serve (Deezer) is up to date.  I have 2 Sonos Play 1s.Is there anything I should do before uninstalling and reinstalling the software, a tedious and not always successful process.

Good day to all !I posted another topic when, once upon a time, my 2 Sonos Connect were not able anymore to access the local music library, hosted on a NAS. Many people told me about the SMB1 protocol when I specified from the beginning that I a using SMB2 only since more than 5 or 8 years now.Of course, both of them used to work very well before that. The known issue was coming from a Sonos update when they released their headset and I have seen that many, many people were very upset by that.One day, several weeks later, a new Sonos update made be re-abled to access to this library, but I had to delete, then recreate it.So, today, I have a room that works very well, the Sonos Connect plays all the music tracks I want… but not the other one.Both are on the same Wi-Fi router / network, but the one in the second room refuses to work and I get an ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED message when I try to play something locally from either Phonos or Sonos Controller or the Sonos Android App. It cannot acce

I have my Sonos Play:1 configured to play an alarm at 6:30 am every weekday. The alarm is set to shuffle a private playlist from Spotify. It worked fine for a few days, but now I can never get it to work, it always plays chime instead. I have no connection issues to the speaker when playing music normally.I have a diagnostics report from me just testing the alarm at 5:29 pm today. **********Moderator edit: diagnostics number recorded and removed

Wondering, do Sonos swap my Sonos Arc to New Sonos Arc Ultra if  add extra money covering difference? or its only option to sell my one somewhere else, keeping in mind my one is in excellent condition inc. original package. 

I want to turn off voice control 

I have 2 Move speakers and two Era 100’s. Both sets are used as stereo pair. Is that the best way to have them? Do I need a subwoofer to go with these 4 speakers?

Why is the New App Worse than the old one???I thought I was the only person struggling with the new updated App until I logged on here and seen other forums, with so many complaining about the same thing, not being able to control their Sonos speakers, what on earth is going on? What are Sonos doing about this? I’ve spent £1000s on speakers throughout my home and no have no way of simply selecting a speaker/room and playing music from it, instead in turns into a whole saga of me wasting time trying to navigate a way to get anything to play anywhere.  I’m yet to see any response for Sonos providing an update on what they are doing about this, apart from reset your Wi-Fi. Unacceptable…SONOS Sort This Out, we’ve paid good money for speakers we can no longer control. 

I am using Sonos Arc and know that Sonos Ace can be connected via a smartphone. However, if I connect another smartphone, can it pair with a separate Sonos Ace so that two people can listen simultaneously using headphones?

Anyone know if the Arc wall mount will be compatible with the Ultra. I really don't fancy drilling more holes in my wall. Hopefully the existing mount will work. 

I upgraded to Sonos from a speaker switch/amp and iPhone setup - which I am woefully regretting.We have a Sonos Amp with 6 satellite speakers, as well as two Sonos One speakers inside a 2000 square foot building on one floor - and, of course, nothing works consistently for longer than a few hours at a time. We stream Apple Music and use a single playlist on shuffle.Looking for input on another solution perhaps with an iPod shuffle or old iPhone with MP3 files on it. The Sonos equipment can’t seem to handle streaming without a half dozen disconnection issues every day, so I’m hoping someone has found an old school way of listening to music on this craptastic system.

I recently bought a Sonos One Gen 2 and I cannot set it up. I've tried 5 different wifi networks, rebooting routers, etc. My app can find the system and sometimes it creates a temporary wifi network, and this connects to the Sonos unit. However, whenever I come to the last step, which is configuring it in the actual wifi network, it never accepts the password. Always end up with “check password”.Since the Sonos unit can connect to the temporary wifi created by the app, I assume that the wifi hardware in the speaker is not defective. Has anyone experienced a similar problem?I went through the FAQs, and tried most steps there (resetting the unit, resetting the router, trying different wifi bands) to no avail.

Hi everyone I ask you if you can tell me which speakers Arc is compatible withI have move2, One, Five gen 2 and Roam

Hello my people, I wanted to share a song I heard while listening to the 'Smooth Jazz' station on Sonos Radio. I managed to take a screenshot to make it easier for you to find the song. It's a Techno track called 'Come Around - MOTVS.' I hope I’ve been helpful and that you can remove this title from the Smooth Jazz playlist. Greetings from Switzerland, a loyal listener.

How do you update your firmware 

Hi - I am trying to setup a new PORT to my Denon stereo system that consists of a receiver, CD player, and Tape player - I want to connect so anything I play on the CD/Tape players will play on my Sonos speakers throughout my house. I looked thru the questions here, but honestly I can't figure it out - any help would be appreciate. Thanks!

Has anybody recently gotten a response from Tier 2? I called on Thursday last week (10/3/24), wasted my time with Tier 1 (as usual), and they said Tier 2 would email me to set up a time. Well… a week later, no email. *** in Tier 1 say the request was put in. Is Tier 2 really  that backed up?If Sonos reads this, your tech support is shameful. I had the same problem I’m trying to fix a few years ago and it took Tier 3 to fix it. This is also the exact problem of adding the library that the update caused but I had it before all this as well and Tier 3 was able to fix it. But obviously, Tier 2 has to respond first. Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

I setup 2 Sonos systems last week for my customers (2 x Sonos Amps for 1 job and a Sonos Arc with a sonos Amp for the other) both of these systems I setup with my account. After completing the installation and handing over to the customers I was unable to transfer the account. After pressing the transfer account button pressing the continue button the app did not go to another page to proceed. 

If I have one single line in source (let’s call it a record player), and 5 Connect:Amps.I’d like the single line in signal to be used by all the Connect:Amps so can be heard in all rooms simultaneously. For what it’s worth, all the Connect:Amps are in the same location.I feel this is probably going to be either straightforward or not possible? Thank you!

Hi, I've connected my ERA100 successfully to my phone via Bluetooth and WI-FI. Now the reason I bought this product is because I want to use it when camping in a field with friends. As I have an Anker power pack and solar panel I want 24 hour music with better quality than a wireless speaker. My question:-  is it possible for a friend to connect their phone to the ERA100 via bluetooth without WI-FI or having the Sonos app installed on their phone ?

My Play 1 has no power at all 

Good morning to you all,In a nutshell :Is using from Play-5 local source input but without wifi / internet , possible or not ?Let me explain:For one day, I would like to take one or 2 SONOS Play 5 (2nd gen.) from my home to be able to play a ‘virtual organ’, which is an app on my iPad, during an orchestra rehearsal. The iPad is connected to a midi keyboard by a USB cable to avoid any latency. The organist plays on this midi keyboard.I have a few questions about this projectI'm connecting the stereo headphone output (3.5mm stereo minijack) on my iPad to the local source input on the Sonos play 5. Is this possible without using either Wi-Fi/internet or the Sonos App?   If so, am I guaranteed not to add latency by using this local analogue input?   Will I be able to adjust the volume using the usual buttons on the Sonos Play 5?   Can I also use a cable that sends the left channel audio signal to one Sonos play 5 and the right channel audio signal to the second Sonos play 5?  Thank you in

I recently tried to create a new alarm, just to notice that everytime I choose a song I get thrown out off the alarm and won’t be able to choose a song for the alarm.

When I sign in as an account, I can’t transfer ownership of the system, which means I cant set alarms or add/remove speakers from the “system”. I also cant play anything else than the Sonia radio! (I have a play:3) 

Hi - looking for help as I haven’t found a solution online. I am hanging a Samsung Frame above a fireplace. I have power where the TV is going and would like to install a recessed box with power behind the TV. I need to mount a Sonos Arc underneath the TV and run power up to the TV that meets code. I don’t have power below or near the soundbarA solution like Legrand or other dual outlets won’t work as I don’t see how that can hook into the recessed box. Seems as if a single connection option is needed - power from recessed box at TV down to soundbar.i have to assume there is a solution. Any ideas someone could help with?Thank you very much!

Hi all, just bought a lovely Play 3 ... but it's on the Sonos app and I need to downgrade it to Sonos S1. I'm following the instructions in the Sonos app but get continual error messages when trying to do the required update. Any help welcome.
