Sorry if this has been asked before but I can’t find an answer to the problem I have and following others solutions. I have a Technic 1200 mk2 and I have this connected via a preamp into a Sonos Connect:Amp, never had an issue, now I can’t use the Connect:Amp as its deemed to old, so I have bought a new cable to go into the back of my Sonos 5, all fine apart from the noticeable distorted hum in the background, I have moved the speakers more than two feet away as others have said but still there.Any help much appreciated :) 

I have a arc gen1 soundbar and trying to connect a sub also gen1, I have tried everything I can think of to connect wireless and hard connection, I even spent 2 hours on live chat with expert and still same message sub not found.please can anyone help me or advise me  many thanksjo 

I have Sonos systems in two homes.  At our primary home, our iTunes library (contained in a Mac Mini) is captured on the Sonos system.  As the Mac is located at the primary home, the iTunes library is not available on the secondary home system.  I’m planning on transferring the iTunes library (<4TB) to a portable NAS device and am looking on feedback on recommended devices and success/failure in transferring the library to the device and adding the music library to the Sonos system at the secondary home

May i ask, how can i let the Amp & Arc work on projector and firestick? Thank you so much!💛

Good morning How can I connect the Project T1 turntable (without a preamp) to a pair of Sonos Era 300s and enjoy the music in stereo?I currently have a Sonos Era 300 connected in line. Is it possible to connect another Sonos Era 300 in line ? Do I need to buy a device like a sonos port or sonos amp ? Let me knowThanks

The status light on my Sonos port stays green since the last update from SonosIn settings/ hardware it is turned off.Any ideas.. 

Since the new version of the app I am unable to access my Sonos system as when I ask to join an existing system the accept T&S’s button is grayed out and does nothing when I tap it. This is the same on both my Android tablet and my iPhone. Both tablet and iPhone software is up to date.Come on Sonos team there have been too many issues in the recent past from the Alexa issues with the Era 100 to this!!Can somebody please help me reconnect to my Sonos System This is just sooo frustrating!! Thank you

When I try to swipe the next page down 99% of the time the whole app will swipe down instead of the menu. Do I have fat fingers or is the pin strip you need to hit positioned wrong” 

HelloApologies if this is a dumb question. I have an Amp wired directly to 2x Paradigm bookshelf speakers and a separate Sub (gen 3) for music playback. I just bought and added an Era 300 wanting it to play the same streaming, but in my kitchen/ dining area. However, when I stream music through my current set up, nothing comes through the Era. What am I doing wrong?For clarity, the Era is on (I think) and it has connected to my system (set up, ran Trueplay) but shows as separate in the app. Many thanks!Max

Hi there,When I came back from holiday, my sonos play 5 gen 2 was on with a very faint white light. When I tried to play music or connect to my other speaker it was impossible. I unplugged the speaker and it hasn't turned on since. I can't see the control light. What should I do? Thanks. 

My ARC is not connecting with TV via HDMI cable

I have recently purchased a Sub Mini in order to connect it to my two Play:1 speakers.Initially it would not even connect to the speakers.After about a day of trying, it eventually connected to the room and the speakers. However there was no sound.The sub was dead.After endless resetting etc it suddenly gave me sound. I got about twenty minutes out of it. The next time I turned the computer on it was dead again, and has been ever since.After extensive research all I can find is the usual “it’s not Sonos, it’s your router” diagnoses/excuses.Well, if my router is as bad as so many seem to suggest it is, how is that it has been running my other Sonos Sub perfectly for over five years without one single problem? How is that Sonos still plays my music perfectly too? How is it that my internet reception/speed is perfect too? How is that SKY multi-room boxes all run fine off this supposedly defective router?Before you ask - no - the sub is not too far away/too near the router, neither is ther

Hi, anyone else having this problem? Seems to be reoccurring and the answer has been to power cycle (done 2x) and system outage (there isn’t one). I have a new Sonos AMP purchased June 2024, when I change the volume limit (50% for instance) it resets to 100% after a few seconds (you can actually watch the slider just move back up). I typically stream from an iPhone using Spotify, so to test I am playing Sonos radio with no other devices. Same issue. In fact you can slide limit to 10% and it doesn’t change the volume output already coming out of the device that is higher than that level. Cycled the amp, same issue.  This is important as the Amp blew out my last set of house speakers when my spouse accidentally connected her phone with the volume too high. I’d like this set to last a bit longer. All advice welcome!  

Volume control not working on iphone/iPadis there a way to fix? It use to work….😳😡

Hi, whenever I request that Alexa play song through my Sonos system, it will play through the 2 One SL‘s set up as a speaker pair, but not through the sub. They are all paired as a system through the Sonos app. If I Airplay or use the Sonos app it works as intended but only when I request through Alexa does the sub not play. The 2 One SL’s play as the stereo pair but nothing comes from the sub. What could it be??

I was so excited to see the recent update and installed it immediately. Everything worked better than ever and for the first time I  used the Sonos voice control. It was glorious and impressed all my friends. Then just as suddenly as it came, it went and now nothing works. Or worse, everything will turn on for a minute or two and then turn off by itself never to be resuscitated. My house is filled with these speakers, I have 4 of the IKEA ones, 1 portable, a beam & a sol one. It’s my dream system, but it doesn’t work 🫤.Please advise. 

I have had a Roam for the last couple of years and it has mostly worked well.  I do not like the new app, but I like the Sonos ecosystem and decided to expand the system with an Era 100.  I thought I would be ok as I suspected that the app issues were related to large/complicated Sonos setups and that progress was being made on system stability.But I am now having issues where songs from a Spotify stream just skip after playing for 30 seconds or so.  It is an intermittent problem, but I just had 5 songs in a row skip.  I mostly use the speakers as a group - both playing.Is this worth taking up with Sonos support given the intermittent nature of the issue?  Do you know if Sonos keeps an internal log of song skips and the reasons behind them?Feeling deflated about my new purchase.

I have a SONOS BEAM Gen 1 (I think) and recently brought a new TV. Now I can’t get the beam to connect to the new TV. New TV supports HDMI eARC rather than ARC, but everything Iv read online says that shouldn’t matter. No option to optical connect either. Any ideas or suggestions would be great thank you. 

We often use our move as a bluetooth speaker.When we want to pair it, it is often not detected by the device we want to pair it with.If it is on, it randomly wants to connect/ pair, and if something else is playing on another bluetooth speaker, it switches to the move without us wanting to.What is the issue here? What can I do to fix the issue?Thanks a lot!

I have recently Bought an Arc, two Era 300 and a sub mini which I use as a home theatre system.  My system keeps disconnecting from the app and I have to turn them all off at the power and then reconnect them all to the app and then pair them. This is becoming exceptionally frustrating and not what I expected from Sonos products.  Any help or troubleshooting would be really appreciated. 

Hi,I have a Sonos Wave 2 which I control using the Android App on my phone or, as is my preference, the Windows App loaded on my PC.  My brother who is in the same household, has a Sonos Roam which he controls using Alexa (I do not use Alexa).  We are on the same wifi network.When I am listening to music, if my brother turns on his speaker, the Windows App shows his account details.  I can see his speaker and his music etc even though what is playing is what I had selected (and I can still control via the Android App on my phone).  Effectively, when my brother uses his Roam, the Windows App ceases to enable me to control my Wave 2 as I can see no way to switch from his system back to my own.I am aware that sharing the same wifi network will mean I can see his system but there must be some way that I can either block his Roam from taking over my Windows App or at least being able to switch from his speaker back to my own.  I have just uninstalled the Windows App and reconnected my speak

Hi there,I cannot believe I have to ask this but here goes.I have a Roam 2 sitting in Taipei awaiting customs clearance, DHL have emailed me and asked for detailed technical information about the Roam 2, specifically the Wi-Fi operating range and the Bluetooth strength. Is there a technical specifications document I can quote from so that I can get my speaker?Thanks very much in advance. 

Been watching all the back and forth since May, but my speakers still aren’t syncing as they used to do. Is a 10 second lag to be expected now, or is it on a long slide to be fixed sometime later this year?

Recently my Beam 2 has been stopping playing sound and the white light on tops flashes for a short period, then it stops flashing and sound returns. It has been doing this daily for the past week.I’ve checked all cable connections, source is an Apple TV and have used it’s Check HDMI connection feature which reports that “Your HDMI connection looks good” Any ideas? Thanks, Greg
