I have a Sonos 1 system including one play:3 and two play:5 and a ZP90.My ZP-90 stoped working (it’s dead) so I bought a “new” second handed.Since I received it I have facotry reset it, plugged it by wire to my router and tried to install it (from my iPhone-app) via system->add product. But the system can’t find it.When I reboot it now it starts blink green. I have rebooted everything: the modem, the router, unplugged all play-speakers, the apps on my two phones.Any ideas? 

There were problems earlier this year with Wifi Mesh networks running in parallel with Sonos. Are these solved in general? Does anyone have experience with running Asus ZenWifi AX XT8 and Sonos?

Hi,I’ve had a long time problem with the Play:3 and Amp products in my system, dropping out and skipping, most frequently just one channel of a stereo pair of Play:3.As two Play:3 units are in an extension, effectively outside the original house, I invested in a Ubiqiti UniFi switch and added hard wired WiFi points in a few rooms (including the extension). I’ve tried both with SonosNet and wi-fi only configurations. There are a number of articles on configuring the plethora of options on the UniFi switch, which I have followed, but it seems that Sonos works less well with a decent switch than a cheap ISP provided wifi/router/modem combo. Go figure.The frustrating thing through all of this is the amount of time that I have spent explaining all of this to Sonos support and the process that I go through every time with this. The problem is effectively resolved by switching the speakers on and off again. Each time on support calls I am asked to turn off everything, including all Sonos unit

I recently setup a WiFi extender and after much troubleshooting, I managed to group my Sonos Move with my Sonos Arc setup (connected to router via ethernet cable), which uses a pair of Era 300s as surrounds. Earlier, I wasn’t able to group them due to the error message saying that a speaker needing to be connected to the router despite the Arc being connected to the router. I didn’t know this was an issue with extenders but my WiFi doesn’t quite extend throughout the whole house so I was hoping it would help with slow/spotty internet.Anyway, I am hoping I don’t have anymore issues with grouping my Sonos speakers despite the extender but I am hoping someone can clarify/confirm I shouldn’t because the Arc is connected to the router.(In the future, I might want to extend my set to include an Era 100, for example. I’m also hoping I won’t have issues with the Move again.)If this might become a problem I need to worry about then I would assume I should drop the extender altogether.

Hi all. First post after doing a lot research putting a theater sound system together. So far I will be doing an Arc and Sub. Unfortunately, due to my recroom design I will be using the Sonos 8” in-ceiling Architecture speakers and Amp for surrounds as opposed to the Era300’s. My question is in regards to the Sonos Architecture installation manual. It states that adding an additional set of in-ceiling Architectural speakers will yield 7.1. Being an actual Sonos manual, can anyone confirm if this in fact the case and see any benefit from adding an additional set of speakers in the ceiling as described in the diagram (Fig. 3)? https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91d-oaAeSPL.pdf#:~:text=Place%20the%20left%20and%20right%20speakers%20anywhere%20from,listening%20position%20will%20help%20maximize%20the%20stereo%20soundstage.

Hi! I have the Sonos Beam gen 2 (connected to tv) and the Sonos Era 100. I am planning to purchase a turntable with built in pre-amp and connect it to the Era 100. And then ”group” the music through both speakers.  My question is:Will I be able to adjust the music volume that comes from the turntable, out of both speakers, by using the buttons on either the Era 100 or the Beam? So that the volume changes simultaneously. Because the turntable doesn’t have a way to controll the volume, and I don’t want to have to purchase a separate pre-amp with volume controll, just for that action.  Please help./ Filip

I used to play music through mobile's bluetooth on my era 300. Today for some reason i reset my mobile'n network and paired era again now i am not getting any audio from the speaker.

Diagnostic # 1979963598My beam just started going down to mute out of no where. I tried turning off the touch controls and disconnecting from google assistant, which didn’t work. Also the tv says the beam is muted. I can turn up the volume using the remote or the app. If I’m lucky it will only drop a few points. But if I try to adjust it, it goes back down to mute. any advice on how to fix this?

I have 2 sonos play 1 speakers that have both stopped working and I can't get them going again.  In setting them up ...and failing...sonos has wanted to use a temporary WiFi setting instead of my own WiFi. Any advice? Do I need to reset them or restore factory settings 

HiTuneIn had a promo last week, offing Premium for £39.99 for the year instead of £79.99, so i decide to bite. I have it set up on Sonos but it’s a bit “weird”,a dn I don’t know if it’s user error, TuneIn issue or Sonos issue.For example, if I click Browse Genres I get “no selections are available”, same for “Find your decade & genre station”. But if I click Music then Top Music Genres then Country then Top Country I can see some stations. And I can also click Music then Top Music Genres then 80’s then Premium Stations I see Nation 80s (and nothing else).I have clicked Reauthorise.Many thanks Jim

My current set up consists of a Sonos Arc + two Sonos One + Sonos sub. I’m thinking about adding two Era 300’s for the backstage, will this be overkill? And would it make sense to move the Sonos One’s to the front?

Hi, I received an email today inviting to take part in a user research study from research@reasearch.sonos.com saying if selected I’d get the choice of $250 towards Sonos products or a Sonos move 2.  looks suspect to me (particularly as I’m in the UK) -  I don’t get many emails from Sonos so just wanted to check if rings any bells with anyone else?Thanks

Hey everyone! I purchased Era 6 300s to replace my Play3s, I noticed when the sub is connected I have to raise the sub volume to 12 or 13 to simply hear it. also this is probably not the cleanest bass pushing it to its peak volume. With my Play3s the Sub was at 1 or 2 the sub was hitting harder.  Any ideas? Thanks!

Hey, My Sonos Roam randomly reset and get disconnected from my Sonos system.When I boot it up it just starts flashing green and I have to re-do the whole pairing process with the app. Any idea why ?  Best,An0n

Subject kinda sums it up. I have beam gen2 + sub mini and 2 era 100’s for surround. I am loving it. I was just curious if there is a quality difference playing spotify via my apple tv spotify app or changing from tv to music on my sonos app and listen spotify via sonos app? Thanks

This hasn't been a issue in the past but ever since I upgraded my LG C2 to new OS it is not a problem. Now with Playstation 5 not even powered on, if the HDMI is plugged in for Playstation my Sonos drops for the TV. Making me have to set up tv again. I am going upload my logs and see if I can get some help. 

I used to love Sonos. Now I only love their hardware… I have 5 older speakers (4xPlay:1 and 1xPlay:5) that are not compatible with the new S2 system - but I don’t care. After many, many problems caused by relentless Sonos “upgrading” - I now drive my speakers through the Home Assistant integration which is magnificent. It does everything I want, and doesn’t bug me with extras I don’t care about. Unfortunately, it still requires the Sonos app to add a speaker to the system before I can use it in Home Assistant.We just built an extension to the house and I wanted some more speakers in new areas. My investment in Sonos infrastructure was too great to move to another ecosystem. I was incorrectly advised by an Ikea salesperson, that their Sonos based Symphonisk range were S1 compatible - so I bought 3 of them. 2 x Bookshelf and 1 x Table Lamp.When I installed the first of the Bookshelf speakers shortly afterwards I discovered they were S2 only. I was very annoyed - but after some research s

Hi therewe have recently moved house and the new house has a Sonos connect, third party amp, 4 internal speakers, and 2 external speakers.. all hard wired to the amp.we have been kicked out of the login and have set it up new but now not all speakers are working, even though we haven’t touched anything apart from the buttons on the Sonos connect (so no cable issues). Previously the internal speakers were “one group” and external speakers were “one group”. I’ve googled so much and just cannot figure out how to fix this. can anyone provide some advice, please?  thanksLisa

Has anyone been back billed without notification for sonos hd radio service? I was charged for 15 months at $7.99 each in one weeks time. Is back billing something that is included in the terms of service?

I have read that the Brennan B3 cd player is the “only” CD player that connects seamlessly to the Sonos era 300.  Can you verify?  I just bought the ERA 300 and connects to my iphone perfectly. But i would like to play my CDs wirelessly and “cast” to my new speaker.  What CD players will work without all the hassles and complications i have been reading about on your forums.. yikes, spent $500 euros. Help!

Currently have a Rega turntable with Rega Phono Mini connected to a Play 5 Line in using RCA cablesi want to add a CD player to the set up (either with integrated amp or a separate amp)Can anyone suggest the best way to do this - do I go down the RCA switch route (2 in - Turntable and CD player 1 out - to Play 5 ) or is there a better way of connecting to the 5  

My Sonos Arc is connected via HDMI eARC to Sony Bravia XR X90J.I have noticed a random cracking/popping/clicking sound in my Sonos Arc while playing audio or sequences with heavy bass. This does not always happen. For example, while playing STRANGER THINGS Season 4 on Netflix with Dolby Atmos, I notice no issue despite the show's excessive bass. On the other hand, playing CLASS, especially the Episode 6 pre-credit intro scene, the cracking/clicking/popping sound is so loud. I noticed similar sounds while playing YOUNG SHELDON season 6 on prime video.The cracking/clicking/popping sound fades away if I reduce the bass to -10. If I increase the bass to +8, the sound gets louder.I have tried restarting the unit, removing the HDMI cable, re-attaching it and restarting the TV itself, etc. Sometimes doing this makes things go back to normal, but it does not always work. Also, it's not a long-term solution. Need a permanent fix for this. I need to know if it's a hardware issue so I can get it

I have a 5.1 system with 3 in ceiling channels R-Center-Left architectural and 2 book shelf surrounds. The current amp is a Sony DA4ES from back in 2000. I also have a set of patio outdoor speakers.  I would like to update and gain wireless functionality and still have all the current functions. Suggestions on how to convert? 

Hello, I moved and am trying to setup my SL, it will not connect and keeps showing an error message. I have already tried: resetting to factory mode, restarted my SONOS app, unplugged and plugged back in and turned my wifi off and on.
