Hi all.I have a Sonos ZP90 zone player that works fine in our bar - outhouse, also linked play5 1st generation that I use sometimes outside in summer months.The ZP90 works fine in the bar, but when the Play5 is connected, it also works fine and audio is stable, but then the ZP90 in the bar starts cracking up – intermittent – hiccup sound like a lose wire like on a microphone eg, the play 5 outside (only 6 meters away from the ZP90) works perfectly and audio is stable with no issues.The Zone player ZP90 is connected to the routed via ethernet cable, the Play 5 is working via wifi.This problem occurs both from my laptop and also same thing from my iPhone.I wondered if anyone could suggest a reason for this, or a solution to this issue as it is now doing my head in!

I have two level house. Downstairs are two groups of wall speakers linked to Wiin Amps that I control via Google home group them in this. I am now looking to install Sonos wall speakers upstairs link to the Sonos Amp and Sonos Arc for the TV areas (plus subwoofer in time). Do you know if I will be able to group them all (upstairs and downstairs) via google home system so music plays and can be controlled simultaneously?Thanks 

This is the screen I get when I open the app on my Windows laptop:when I check for updates, it says I am up to date, then returns to the above screenNone of the “More Options” does anything to start the app workingAny one any ideas ?I have reinstalled the software

I use a Sonos One stereo pair in the bedroom and frequently use Sleep Timer.After recent updates, when Sleep Timer finishes and playback fades out to zero, both speakers show a solid green LED during the night.Important behavior:If I manually pause playback → no green LED appearsIf Sleep Timer ends playback → green LEDs appearSpeakers remain fully online and functionalNo need to restart or reset devicesThis did not happen previously and seems like a change in behavior after recent Sonos app/firmware updates.Since this occurs in a bedroom use case, the LEDs are disruptive at night.I suspect Sleep Timer end-state is now treated as mute/idle, triggering the green LED.Can this behavior be confirmed or reviewed?

On one of the albums in my library, one channel disappears when the album is played on a Sonos speaker. I know that a single Sonos speaker is monoaural, but it sounds like there is no right speaker. The guitar is missing; there is only bass and drums. Other albums sound just fine on these speakers.This does not happen on the original CD played on a CD player or with an iPod, or on the desktop PC where my music library is stored, which uses iTunes. It does not happen on my Mac laptop, which uses the Apple Music app. And it does not happen on my iPhone. It only happens on my Sonos speakers. I have four different Sonos models for different rooms, and they all have this problem, but I have been testing mainly on a Roam.I spoke to a Sonos AI assistant for more than 25 minutes. She suggested that I try playing the album from the Apple Music app instead of from my library. It is perfectly normal on my iPhone, but it has the same problem when played through the Roam speaker.The AI assistant al

 Will it have Alexa + Sonos integration?

I just found one of my Roam 2 speakers was so hot it melted the charging cord where it plugs into the speaker. I searched and found this issue reported in August of 2025. Has anyone had this experience recently?

When I first set up my Sonos era 100s last year they were fine with Alexa. Earlier this year they started getting worse and worse with Alexa.What happens is i say"Alexa, play radio 4"The speaker says, "playing BBC radio 4"Then nothing happens. OrI connect to radio 4 via the Sonos appThen I say, "Alexa off"The volume goes down, but then comes back. It never switches off.I have tried everything - disconnecting and and reconnecting the Alexa skill, powering off and on, factory resets and complete setting up of the speakers again, forcing them onto 2.4ghz by switching off the 5ghz router channel at set up... I'm at my wits end. But basically I think that you pay a lot for Sonos and this situation is absolute rubbish. It would be ok if Sonos voice control worked with BBC, but it doesn't.

Just got my Sonos ace and the quality is great. Only problem is the sound is not loud enough for me. Any suggestions?

Every time I try playing an Amazon Playlist larger than 100 tracks (haven't tested with other providers) the system fails to queue properly. It will load the first 100 tracks correctly, but the remainder of the queue will just be the last few songs in the playlist repeated over and over until the queued track count matches the playlist count. I have tested by adding and removing songs from the playlist with the same result every time. This is especially annoying when shuffling as I'll hear the same 2-4 songs repeatedly with different ones sprinkled in. Is there somewhere I can report this bug other than here? This is all I could find. 

Hi Sonos Gurus,I control my Sonos from my iPhone connected to SSID “17” mapped to VLAN 1 (Native Network).I have approximately 15 Sonos speakers incl. Play-1, One, Beam, Arc, Era.Some are wired to VLAN 6. Some are connected over Wifi SSID “Sonos-17” mapped to VLAN 6. I suspect some are still on SonosNet because they are old and SonosNet is on channel 11.For some reason, since this morning, I cannot access my Sonos setup using my iPhone connected to SSID “17”. However when I switch my iPhone over to “Sonos-17” SSID, it. works.ThanksThomas

Good morning,I would like to create a stereo pair for the TV at home.I like the Sonos Era, but I would also like the Alexa voice assistant.Can I buy a Sonos Era 100 and a Sonos Era 100SL? Or should I get two SONOS Era 100?Thank you.

Hello,I have connected a vinyl turntable to my two Era 300 speakers via cable and I am looking for a way to adjust the volume while listening. I saw on a forum that IKEA has a solution, but it requires buying a hub, and I already have two: my Apple TV and a TAPO hub for my connected devices. I’m surprised I haven’t found a simple solution to this problem.I should mention that I am in France, so I am looking for a solution that I can either buy in France or have delivered. Thanks in advance for your replies!

Android phone running latest version of Sonos available to me..When I have the Roam showing in full screen, the battery icon shows but it doesn’t show the actual battery level.OK so I can ask Sonos about the battery but that only gives a very approximate level amount and isn’t accurate enough when the battery level is falling towards being empty.I’m currently charging the battery so it does display the amount when looking at all the rooms but I’m sure that it doesn’t display the amount in this view if not charging (I will check this later) 

For several months, I have been experiencing persistent issues with the S1 controller and Amazon Music. Despite reaching out to support for help, the problem remains unresolved. I have been a longtime user of both Amazon Music and the S1 controller, but ever since the most recent S1 software update on iOS, I can no longer use control Amazon music without constantly receiving the error message: "This song is not encoded correctly."I have already tried all standard troubleshooting steps, such as rebooting the devices, restarting the router, ensuring all software is up to date, and reinstalling the Amazon service within the app—none of which has resolved the issue. It's clear that Amazon Music itself isn't the problem, as the service works perfectly when accessed through Alexa (to control Sonos) or outside the Sonos app. Additionally, other music services, such as Spotify and Radio Paradise, continue to function normally with the S1 controller. This suggests the issue is unique to the com

Jeg har udforing med at få system til at virke uden kabel. Jeg kan få kontakt til både play1 og 5, men når jeg vil bruge trådløs og flytter højtaler fra kabel, forsvinder forbindelse. Det har virket før i mange år, uden de store problemer. Det er for mig som om s1app ikke virker mere. Vejledning om lysende/blinkende grøn lampe er slet ikke et issue, da der ikke er grøn lampe at se. Jeg har slukket for wifi og prøvet meget.  Er der nogen som har en klar og hurtig løsning? VhMorten Moderator Edit:Google Translate-I have trouble getting the system to work without a cable. I can connect to both play1 and 5, but when I want to use wireless and move the speaker from cable, the connection disappears.It has worked before for many years, without any major problems. It is as if s1app no ​​longer works for me. The instructions about the bright/flashing green light are not an issue at all, as there is no green light to be seen.I have turned off wifi and tried a lot.Does anyone have a clear and qui

Please share any eArc hdmi splitters that worked for you. Everyone was talking about Arkana, I’ve tried it, payed 400 usd with taxes, then spent several weeks trying to fix sound interruptions, changed tons of cables, trying all recommendations, but had to give up on that one and now looking for other options.There are plenty opt of hdmi splitters on Amazon, so would be great if anyone had success with any and will recommend.Thank you!

Not too long ago, we switched from an Eero mesh network to Araknis access points to extend WiFi coverage throughout our home while we had AT&T. We’ve since switched to Spectrum, removed the Araknis system, and gone back to using our Eero mesh network. We currently have the Spectrum router/modem connected to our Eero system, similar to how we previously had AT&T set up. We also had third-party technicians install amps for our outdoor Sonos system as well as the Araknis system, but the Araknis ended up making our WiFi worse, so we removed the Araknis and AT&t and set up the Eero system again with a Spectrum router and modem. Now the issue is that our Sonos system seems to be detecting two separate WiFi networks. The router’s WiFi (connected via Ethernet) is working with our two amps, but the other Sonos devices inside the house keep switching to the extender network. In the app, they frequently show as “not connected,” even after updating the network settings About 2-3 weeks

Will a WiiM pro airplay 2 receiver work with a stereo pair of sonos one speakers?

Hej,Jag har nyligen köpt en refurbished Sonos Beam (Gen 2) och har haft problem med att få den att fungera korrekt med min Samsung TV (UE55RU7475UXXC) från 2018.Via HDMI ARC är ljudet instabilt och växlar mellan TV-högtalare och Beam, särskilt efter att TV startats om. Jag har testat olika inställningar (Anynet/CEC, PCM/Dolby, omstarter och installerat om fler gånger), men problemet kvarstår.Jag har även testat optisk anslutning med medföljande adapter, men får då inget ljud alls. TV skickar signal (rött ljus syns), men Beam spelar inte och TV hittar ingen högtalare.När Beam väl fungerar upplever jag dessutom att ljudet är instängt och sämre än TV egna högtalare, vilket inte känns normalt.Jag vill helst använda HDMI ARC för stabil funktion och volymkontroll via fjärrkontroll.Kan ni hjälpa mig att:Identifiera orsaken till problemen Avgöra om någon del (t.ex. adapter eller enhet) är defekt Rekommendera bästa lösningen för stabil användningTack på förhand.Vänliga hälsningar
