Short version:  Does an affordable device exist that I can carry around my house to pinpoint the source of 2.4GHz signal that is interfering with my Sonos system?Long version:I’ve long had difficulty dropouts on my Sonos system.  Sometimes it works fine, other times it’s intolerable.  My inability to reproduce the problem reliably has made it very difficult to diagnose the source.  Now I recently learned (or was reminded of) the Network Matrix, which shows the status of the connection of all my speakers.  This I see provides critical information to help me diagnose the problem.This is my system.  I’m using SonosNet with ethernet going to one Sonos One5 - Play:11 - Sub1 - Play:53 - Sonos One1 - Play:3Last night, the Matrix had red squares all over, indicating severe interference, and speakers were dropping out on and off all evening.  I tried switching channels on both my Sonos system and my WiFi router, to no avail.  Now, tonight, I have green and yellow squares and the dropouts aren’t

I just received arc ultra, to swap over from my arc setup with gen 2 sub and gen 3 sub. I have been on phone to Sonos for 1½ hours. They have said gen2 sub and gen3 sub won’t work as my old setup. I need to replace my sub gen 2.ti gen 3 or gen 4. 

Description to use old Sonos speakers with S2 controller

I had my system for several years.  Has been working fine.  I had to replace my router and had to reset all speakers except Move and player 5.  These works fine not in the surround sound system of Sonos.  After resetting and installing play bar, sub and two rear speakers, 2 player 3s, now only sound comes from the playbar but none of the other speakers: 2 player 3 and sub. They are connected to a tv which was not changed.any ideas I can try?

My app hasn’t been working the last few days.can’t start music. Once playing can’t stop itnothing is working this morning only me?

I have a Beam gen 2 and 2 One speakers. I used to configure them as a surround system, Beam connected to my TV via HDMI ARC.Then I found the two Ones are mostly idle as I don't play enough surround-sound content. So I recently removed the surround setup, and grouped the speakers, hoping to listen to the same sounds from different speakers, immersive in a different way. I found a way in the Sonos app to configure the TV output to all speakers there, which is great.The problem is when I change the volume on my AppleTV remote control, only the volume of the Beam got changed, Ones' volume stay the same unless I use the touch buttons on the speakers or use the app. Is there any way to sync the volume control across all speakers?

how long does it take for an empty (no speaker listed) room to drop off the “your system/manage list” of rooms? thanks  

I have a Playbar and a Play:1.If I add another play:1 and a Sub will it work fine as a hifi syatem? Please suggest what combination of the old sonos can I do to have a better hifi music system starting from my set up. Also, is it possible to purchase the old speakers? I have seen them around on the web. Thanks! 

I have a Sonos Port, with firmware updated to latest.It is being used to play songs stored on a Synology NAS.I use the Android version of the Sonos app; it is updated to latest.Recently -- maybe with the last firmware update -- songs played from the local library have about a 50% probability of cutting off partway through playback, after which the music resumes at the next song in the playlist.Wifi signal is consistently showing “Fair -- 35 dB”Any thoughts?  Anybody else seeing this?  Is this a firmware problem, or could it be my own issue somehow?

Good morning allI have I’ve recently purchased Sonos Arc, mini sub and Ikea Symfonisk (2 speakers). (I have connected all speakers in TV room setup along with surround sounds) I have connected the Sonos Arc with Ethernet cable and others  through Home wife. I have two WiFi routers placed side by side and I have only connected Sonos to 2.4 ghz my question is if I turn off the surround by mistake why does it take so much time to get connected to the system again? (Sonos app is also very slow in responding, I’ve to close the app numerous times and open it.) Does have having two routers create any interference? since buying the Sonos I enjoy the sound but it’s a nightmare when someone in home turns off the Sonos speakers by mistake and I cannot connect it back that easily.  I will be obliged if someone can help in addressing the problem, so that I can find where am I wrong. Thanks in advance 

I have a customer with (3) Ports and (1) Amp. Over the weekend they had continuous dropouts making listening impossible. No issues since install and no new devices on the network. The last reboot of the Sonos hardware was 175 days ago. I have done the unplug Sonos units and reboot router and reset them to new to the set them back again multiple times with no luck. I also tried just using a single Sonos Port with the other Sonos products disconnected. Hoping someone else has history with this.I suspect a hardware failure because I battled (3) Ports with the same issue. Did the standard rebooting, restoring to new and setting up again multiple times. Typically audio would work from 1 hour to a day without dropouts and then start. Took (2) Ports out and same thing. After multiple trips customer decided to fold when I recommended the Russound Streamer which has been working perfectly for 8 months. His 34 zone system is (4) Russound MCA-88’s and he would not budge on using anything but Sono

Where can I find the wifi signal strength for my Sonos products? I am using the S1 controller and app.

My scenario is this:I have two ERA 300 speakers that I want to use just for listening to music.My living room is approximately 40’ x 22’ I do not want to connect them as a stereo pair should I just make them a group, if so will Dolby Atmos still work as well.

My ERA 100 I have to turn the colume level almost all the way up just to have it a little louder when I have people over. It seems like at the highest level you would really be blown away but you are not. Is something wrong? I have and LG Smart TV

When i open sonos on ipad pro, it no longer plays a sound. The bouncing symbol if playing by each room still goes. 

The sonos app stopped the night between saturday and sunday! Did you roll out another unsuccessful update? Your telephone support hopes that a new update will be realeased tonight? 

I have the Sonos Arc Ultra, Sub 2nd Gen, x2 Era 100 speakers, and Sonos Ace Headphones. App is on Google Pixel 9 XL App Version: 80.11.35-release+20241030.5ee5370When I go to the settings, open the settings, click the “add speaker or component”  i get the prompt to update the app. I click to install and i am taken to a google chrome page to download a BETA version. Could not add products using the newest Android app.  Can’t add my Sonos Ace headphones to the app to use with my phone. Only way to use the headphones is via a USB C cable. I also have an iPad Pro with m1.App Version: 80.11.51When I go to the settings, open the settings, click the “add speaker or component”  i get the prompt to update the app. I click to install and i am taken to a google chrome page to download a BETA version via Test Flight. I was able to download and set system up using my iPad and test flight Beta Sonos app. 

Unable to connect message and I can't add a move 2 speaker, The other speakers are connected, It's probably something in the version update

I’ve just updated to Apple tvOS18 and now my 5.1 movies are only outputting on my Sonos Arc in Stereo PCM. Atmos movies are still playing in Atmos. Is this a bug with the new software?

I recently updated the Sonos App to 80.07.03 and now it doesn’t open. I click the App Icon and it crashes immediately. I’ve restarted my iPad and it still doesn’t work.  Using iPad 10th gen, IOS 17.5.1 (21F90) I’ve recorded a video of it. I’d love to be able to actually listen to my music without worrying what problems I’m going to encounter each time!! Deadset this app and brand have gone down the toilet. Nothing but problems. Nothing is ever simple or works. No reliability. Incredibly frustrating. 

HiLike a lot of other people I have has problems with the music library loading within the Sonos App following the upgrade earlier this year. I run Apple hardware and all my music collection appears in the Apple Music app correctly but when I link to the folder from the Sonos App only about 7% of my collection is showing. Both Apple and Sonos Support have not been able to help me cheers Steve 

I received my new Arc Ultra today and I was looking forward to switching from Arc to Arc Ultra. But after one hour of fruitless attempts I gave up. Yes, I have a brand new Ultra sitting in its package in my living room and for the life of me I couldn’t get it to work with my setup (Sub3, 2 x Era 300 surround speakers). The current system works flawlessly, is connected to my wifi and works fine. The moment I try to hook up the Ultra I’m unable to get it to work with my current wifi. The network pops up sometimes, most of the times none of my wifi connections can be seen. Consequently, the Ultra winks out and the usual suggestions for repairing the wifi pop up. Since my wifi works flawlessly with my Arc I see the problem more on the side of the Ultra. After having gone through the same hassles with the Ace and the ongoing problems with the app, I was hoping that the installation this time round should be a straightforward five minute job. Well, the speaker is back in its package. I’ll gi

If I turn the tv off and on quickly-sound is back…any ideas on what I would need to change?it’s a Sony a8 tvlatest virgin box. All good cables and no play stations etc attachedthanks!

Hello, I sold my Sonos Gen1 to buy the Gen2. I have two PlayOne surround. Since I made the generation change, I no longer see my two PlayOne. No more way to configure them. Is it normal or do you force me to have to buy two Era 100? Too bad, until now I was very happy with Sonos. I also have a One with a microphone. As much as I look at the Bluesound side as I have a Node... 

One of the things that I’ve grown to love over recent years is the way I can discover and listen to podcasts. I use 2 main podcast aggregators to listen to podcasts - Firstly Pocket Casts and secondly BBC Sounds since some podcasts I cannot find on Pocket Casts (I’d rather only use 1 app for this). So one of the great things about the Sonos podcast integration was the ease of seeing which was the next unplayed (or partially played) episode and play the next one or complete an unfinished episode. Unfortunately this has been broken since the major app update. As you can see from the two screenshots below. The first shows a podcast and it’s episodes - The May 24 one has been played and the next has not - but you cannot tell. On the BBC Sounds screenshot the second episode bookmarked has been played but again you cannot tell.Also I find if I manually check via the Pocket Casts app the next unplayed episode and then play it by finding it in the Sonos API for Pocket Casts it plays that episo
