So we have this 4 speaker setup that was working just fine and all of a sudden it stopped working. Not knowing why I just proceeded to reset everything but for every speaker the result was the same setting it up over WiFi.I can see the speaker and it also connects to the WiFi (takes long thought) and then it says it’s all done but might not show up in the list. If it doesn’t I’m supposed to unplug it and plug it back in. That is exactly what happens so when I don’t see it in my list I proceed to unplug it. Then I try to add the speaker again but this time it’s not in a reset mode. It finds the speaker just fine and tries to connect and fails. Every speaker does this and this happens every time. What is going on here?The speakers in question are 3x Play:1 and one play:5 When I connect it on ethernet i can actually set it up and even gives me the option to select the location for it. But then it’s on ethernet and as soon as I unplug it it doesn’t work anymore. So in the settings I try to

I know there has been some problems - to put it mildly - but in October 2024 is anyone else STILL getting regular drop out when playing music? I get regular moments of silence in the middle of songs and it’s REALLY frustrating that it hasn’t been sorted yet. Ive got Sonos Ones (x6) - don’t think it matters but some are One SLs I’m on app version 80.09.08 Software is on automatic updates and all speakers are up to date.  Any help would be appreciated.

Sonos had been doing well with a Connect:AMP unit, but then started to drop out. I unplugged the AMP and plugged it back in, and now it is off the network. The Android app I have is 80.09.04-release+20240917.6a71457I have a pair of left and right Play:1’s and they work fine. I have a Roam SL and it works fine. The Connect:AMP shows up in it, but every time a try to play something, I get “Something went wrong.”  So what went wrong? How can I find out?  

Provocative question. Currently still running the 16.1 app on Android. Have a range of products from S1s through to Arc + pair  Era300s. System is mainly used for listening to music from NAS and surround sound for TV/movie watching. Some functionality is now greyed out in the 16.1 app, other than that I'm happy with the old app.Is the new app now safe to upgrade to? What would Sonos representatives present on this forum recommend? Is your new app now safe to use? Is it a better experience versus the old app?As an objective measure for when the Sonos executive team should start to receive bonuses again I'd suggest an 90%+ yes response rate to these questions would be a good yardstick. 

Hello, I get the following error: “Your system cannot connect to content”. I tried to restart the speaker and the app, but nothing changed. It works to play from airplay, but not from the app. Please let me know what could I do.  Thank you,Stefan 

Have 2 Monitor Audio C265 speakers in the ceiling of the master bath with a wire run back to our AV closet where the plan is to connect them to a Sonos Amp.  In the master bedroom the plan is to have a 77” LG G4 OLED TV with a Beam Gen 2 speaker underneath. I do have 2 cat 6 cables run from the TV location to the AV closet but big hassle to run anything new. So questions: Assuming I use the Arc HDMI to connect the TV to the Beam? How do I get the bathroom speakers to play whatever the TV is playing and without any sound delay? My previous AV guy said there was a way to use the cat 6 to get the signal from the TV to the Sonos Amp? or is there another way?Thanks.

Hey guys,I have just bought a Sonos Amp and have connected my record player to it via the RCA outputs, I’m just wondering if I can also connect my cd player? Is it possible to use an HDMI cable from the HDMI output on the Amp then attach a Sonos Optical Audio Adapter which then plugs into the Optical output of the cd player?Thanks!

Hi everyone,  I recently purchased a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo (Nogal) turntable, and I currently have a Sonos Beam (Gen 2) sound system. I have a couple of questions regarding connectivity: From my understanding, I can't wirelessly connect the Pro-Ject Debut turntable directly to the Sonos Beam 2. Is that correct? I’m considering purchasing the Sonos Era 300 speaker to pair with the turntable. Would this be a good option? Is there any additional equipment needed to ensure the turntable works properly with it? If I add the Era 300 to my Sonos network, would the sound from the turntable play through the Beam 2 as well, or just the Era 300? Thanks in advance for your help!  

Yesterday I made these stupid idea to remove alexa from all of my devices and de- register them and remove them from my Amazon account. I did this because I was struggling getting alexa “dot” devices to work alongside the system like they used to. I figured I would try to troubleshoot it myself and get myself in a hole.Now I am trying to re-add all of my speakers, and only the Sonos beam and one of my Sonos‘s “one” speakers re-added alexa to them. The rest, including “move”, “arc”, other play “one”s will not add alexa.I enter into the Sonos app and click on “arc” for example, and it will be non-clickable and will say “alexa already added“. Alexa is not working on this device and it does not voice prompt. I know other users have had the same problem, but I have not seen a solution. Anyone have a solution to this? i’ll call Sonos later, but I’m not going to be home for a while so I can’t mess with the system. 

We were promised a fix in September, what is the target date for a fix? This is really bad escape defect.  We have waited over 4 months!

Today, my app tells me that I need to reauthorize the TuneIn app because account access has expired.  I follow the simple on screen process that takes me to the TuneIn website to authorise the connection but I get a message saying the pairing didn't work"Something went wrong when trying to pair to your Sonos System.Please return to the Sonos app and try again using the same credentials."Anyone know how to fix this?Thanks

Hey. Is there a way to remote turn on/off the lamp in IKEA Symfonisk? Or do I have to do it using the button on the lamp/loudspeaker?

My Sonos Amp is happily pumping surround sound from my Arc. If I connect, say, a WiiM Ultra preamp by RCAs as an Roon end point, will that cause a problem with my surrounds? Or can the Amp detect and accept which input is active? I don’t want to struggle with needing to reconnect my surrounds, I just want this to work. Possible?

how can i remove the stupid tv source from dashboard?!who the f uses a tv as source with this crappy 5.1 surround system?!

Until the major update to the Sonos App months ago my Arc was happily playing music from a set of music libraries I had set up on a MacMini connected via Ethernet. Then the libraries, and any way of adding them disappeared from the App. More recently the means of adding a library has returned but when I try to re-add the libraries I get the error ‘Unable to connect. Check the user name and password’. I am using the latest version of the App on my iPhone.Needless to say the path name, user name and password are all the same as used before, and have been rechecked many times. I have switched on and off everything multiple times. I have rechecked all the file sharing permissions & SMB enabled multiple times. In short the only thing that has changed is the App.As my Arc sits there silent month after month I am getting more and more fed up, when is this going to be fixed.

Hello,I have an extensive SONOS system throughout my home and an Arc+2-ones+sub in the living room. The issue first occurred 5-6 weeks ago while an Amazon playlist was playing at a reasonable volume with 4 rooms grouped.It happened again 3-4 weeks ago and it was also on an Amazon Playlist with 4 rooms including arc grouped.  At this point, I assumed that it was a song with an issue.  It was annoying and creepy but I'd eventually be able to find/remove the song from my playlist.It happened again today while listening to an apple Playlist and I know for a fact it was a different song.It took me until today to realize the sound is emanating from the arc(because the sound is so loud it sounds like its coming from everywhere including inside my brain).  For a random period of I'd say is 5-8 seconds, a loud metallic, alien, and haunting sound comes out of the living room sonos which has the arc.  The volume of the sound is inconsistent with the volume of the music that was playing.  The musi
