I am trying to add Sonos One Gen2 to my Sonos app. However, every time I try to add it, it fails at the firmware update. It tried a second time, and fails again. It allows me to continue, but the Sonos isn’t added to the Sonos app to manage.  -I’ve rebooted my modem -I’ve rebooted the Sonos -I’ve rebooted my phone -I’ve reset the app-I’ve factory reset the Sonos one gen 2 -I’m as close as I can get to the modem, I’ve also tried disabling the 5Ghz antenna-I’ve signed out and in of the Sonos appI can’t get the Sonos added to my app no matter what I do. Please help. 

So I can’t simply play music from a folder from my 5000$ computer.. Sonos can well and truly F $ R K OFF I will deposit this rubbish out the window and spend weeks advertising you cant play your own music on this junk. pay thousands for a full set up and error 913.

Trying to connect to WD EX2ULTRA NAS Drive. Was getting an error that pointed to adding an entry to the Register which I did. However I still cannot connect.  Now get:Sonos was unable to add the music folderPlease check that the path to the folder, and the username and password if needed, are correct.Reason: Access to the shared folder “\\MYCLOUDEX2ULTRA\Public\Shared Music\iTunes” is denied.This is successfully connected to iTunes on my PC running Windows 11.Have also tried with “\\MYCLOUDEX2ULTRA\Public\Shared Music\iTunes\iTunes Media” and just Shared Music.Please advise.

It’s been a week since you pushed out one of the worst app updates in history. You flat out broke a lot of peoples systems and even if you are among the lucky ones who got it working you got performance problems and a massive loss of features. Roll it back, NOW.

What should the behavior of the status light be on the Sonos Ace headphones? My understanding is that when you aren’t wearing them you should see the status light illuminated. If so, that is not what I am currently observing. The only time I see the status light is when I turn on or off the headphones. It will turn blue for a second. Or when I have it plugged in to charge it shows a solid orange light (only when device is turned off). I have tried leaving the headphones on and forgetting the bluetooth connection to my phone. Should this not show a solid white light? Again, this is not what I am experiencing.

I often have trouble with the new app connecting to our system. The app also randomly adjusts the volume of our speakers and sometimes removes speakers from groups. I’ve tried using the system update option in the app but that has not corrected the problems.

Have a spotiy premium family account with 5 users. How do I add each user to sonos app so they can listen to their own playlists?

how do I get my new Sonos Ace headphones to connect to my Arc without cutting sound on my Arc. I need to listen independently from the family please?

I bought a Sonos arc and just want to add it to my Sonos app, when I follow all the steps until I can select my location (after connecting to the network) then I get the 1.101 error. And the device is not showing in the app. when I then download the Sonos s1 app it recognizes the arc soundbar but an error shows ‘not compatible’. I don’t understand why it shows on the s1 app, but I can’t do anything with it, and  on my normal Sonos app it doesn’t show…  already tried factory resetting, restarting router, deleting app,…. anyone the same issue and has a solution??

Hi - With the app update I can’t seem to turn off the alarm I set a couple of days ago (I won’t get into how unhappy I am that it wasn’t made clear that we’d lose this functionality). The help notes are saying to go to the web app and click on alarms from the select a music source pane - I’m on the web app but I can’t find any thing to click on. I’ve been trying for two days to figure this out…. Any help appreciated as I don’t want to wake up at 5:30am for the rest of my life.  Thank you!

Have play 1 and 3 and move.move connects but not 1 or3

Hi.Any idea why emails I get from Sonos are in Dutch?Both langiage and address on Sonos profile is set to English / United Kingdom.ThanksJames

I have Play3s in my living room (for music only) but need a soundbar, and I’d like to use them all for my TV now. I read somewhere that if I use the Arc with my Play3s, there will be some sort of delay. Is that true?

Just updated the Sonos app on my ipad, and do not see a way to link to my itunes music library. How can I do this?

Is there a way to go back to S1 (or any other version other than the latest piece of crap)? I’m on Android. I tried uninstalling the current version and choosing an older version, which did install, but once I open it I get a dialog to upgrade to S2 and there I can’f find a way around that. I tried the Reset System option to see if that was the trick but it just keeps you in a never ending upgrade loop. 

I am unable to add my Ray sound bar to my System; my two One SL speakers are still working fine over WiFi.I bought all three back in December 2022 and everything was working fine until a few weeks ago, when the Ray no longer appeared in the Sonos app (iOS). It was still working as a sound bar for my TV, but I couldn’t control it with my Sonos app. I can see and control the One SL speakers with the Sonos app, but the Ray will not complete registration and cannot be added to my system. I have done the factory-reset process on the Ray about 7 times, using the Sonos app on my iPhone.  It goes through the ‘Add Speaker or Component’ process until it gets to the end where it wants to register the Ray to my System and it says “There was a problem adding your Ray to your system. Try again later.” I click Done and under my System it shows the Ray, but with an exclamation point and directing me to Fix It. When I try to fix it as directed, it gives me the same “There was a problem adding your Ray”

My Sonos system is not letting me listen to any songs via Napster. The Sonos system is working fine via Sonos Radio but failing to bring any songs through via Napster. I tried the Napster App and is working fine as its own entity. Disconnected from Sonos and reinstated but no luck. I then tried to connect Apple Music but wouldn’t connect to sonos. Can you point me in the right direction of sorting this? When browsing Napster via Sonos all menus are empty .

(running Android IOS) since updating my old sonos system (June 25/2024)to the new version on the app, its constantly asking for a software update. I click on it and the app states that its all “ up to date” then reverts back to the screen asking for a software update. I can not get into the app its a constant cycle that wont go away! i have deleted the app , forced it to stop then restarted the app, I have tried up plugging everything even the router to no avail. this is very frustrating, I even forced closed the update from the app store and its still the same! no one at Sonos help has any answers I figured I would put it out here.   I was so happy using my S1 app it worked fine before i was forced to update it all….now this BS, I am ready to start looking at other stereo products does anyone have an answer to this or had similar issues?

All … basic Sonos app grouping question. So, app functionality seems to have broken since the update. Here is my setup. (3) Rooms.  Room (1) Living Room with Sonos Arc, Sub, and Left/Right One SL surrounds.  Room (2) Office1 with a single One SL.  Room (3) Office2 with a single One SL.  So, while streaming Pandora music from my Smart TV in the living room, all seems ok in Room (1).  But, if I try to group in Office1 and Office2 to listen to the same music, everything goes silent and I lose control of where the Pandora output is pointed.  The only way to remedy change the grouping to the Living Room, shutting off my TV and turning back on.  In the past, I could easily add/remove rooms from the group and the music would stream perfectly fine.  Thoughts on why this is?  Do I need to re-set up all my room configurations since the app updates?  Any advice would be appreciated!  Thanks all! 

Hi all, I bought a second Era 100 today and tried to register it. Sadly no joy.The speaker appears in the app and connects to the internet. My Sonos app is up to date, have turned router and phone off/ on etc following advice on previous posts here. I have another Era 100 bought a few weeks ago. It registered first time and I’ve had no issues with it.One possible issue is our network: TP-Link Deco 9 mesh. I haven’t tried connecting the second speaker by Ethernet  but could try that. All suggestions appreciated, thank you      

I downloaded the updated Sonos contoller App on only one iphone. The new app does not operate fully on some subscribed music sources. Another iphone and laptop computer in my household still has the functioning old Sonos app controller. Is there any way that the old Sonos contoller can be transferred and downloaded to the iphone containing the updated version?

Not sure how but the latest update (was away for a couple of weeks) has made my Sub and two Play:3 surrounds vanish. I can see that one of the Play:3s shows up on the network briefly (on 5GHz), then goes away. They are really not there - router says they are offline, SSDP fails for them. (The Sub and the P3s are bound to different Playbars).Things are getting pretty bad when even the Desktop app can’t find them (and also my app and any UPnP utility as well).I’m going to break out a long Ethernet cable for additional testing next. If that fails I guess I’ll reset them, but that just seems so very unnecessary.

On my Sonos app (both iPhone & iPad) when I search for an artist most all of their albums & singles show up. But there’s also some singles and compilations missing towards the end. Unlike when I open and search on Spotify app, all albums, singles and compilations are listed. The only way I can play those missing albums is thru airplay. 

Sonos and Alexa! So, I have a weird issue with regards to Sonos and Alexa integration. I have Alexa setup with proper rooms, three rooms have a Sonos speaker in, and each room has them properly assigned. The Alexa in each room is configured with that Sonos speaker, but also that when you say "Alexa Play" all Alexa devices are configured to play across all three speakers. In addition the Sonos app has the three speakers used configured in a group. When you ask Alexa to play, 2/3 rooms play music, but the lounge goes not, this happens no matter which Alexa device you request to start playing from. In the Sonos app the three speakers in the group all show (they have sound bars moving) that they are playing music, but the lounge does not. If I play music from the Sonos app then all speakers play as expected. Whilst music is playing, I have tried removing and readding the Sonos speaker to the group in the Sonos app but that doesnt work. I have tried deleting the Lounge speaker from both Ale
