I usually play BBC sounds or SONOS Radio on my Move, controlled via my Samsung phone. I installed Spotify on the phone and it plays via my Bluetooth connected hearing aids. It appears on the list of options on Sonos but will not play via the Move, only hearing aid. How do I activate it on Move? Nothing has worked so far.

Sonos, I have a lot of Sonos products and just added a Sonos Arc, two Era 100’s and the mini sub. I am very effecient at setting up Sonos and have never had problems until the purchase of the above named products. I have spent over 20 hours trying to get my system up and running. This includes approximately 6 hours of my own time and 3 different (2 chats and 1 phone call) with Sonos to try and get it fixed. This has been a huge PIA! I have a Playbar in the Family room, got it connected and now I’ve tried for the last frickin’ hour to get the Era 100’s connected to the Family Room and it sets up another room! Family Room 2!!! So, I reset both of them and it sets up a Family Room 3!!!I feel like doing what people have done with their Tesla’s and set them on fire! I finally get the Arc working (with a chat) but no TV sound. We determine it’s a setting with Sony - boom, he’s gone. Well Sonos, I see a lot of people have Sony TVs and have had problems so maybe you can figure out the common f

hi all. For certain podcasts I am getting the message - the connection to myTuner radio was lost - and podcast will not play. Other myTuner podcasts do play OK. I have refreshed source etc. Specific podcats are:DishKermode and MayoCrucible moments Thanks for any helps

Just purchased my first Sonos device (the Beam Gen2) and have it connected to the Apple Music service and my music library using the Sonos app on my phone.  Only using SonosVoice and so far it is working great. My family also uses Apple’s Family Sharing and my wife has her own library.  To get her library connected to the Beam is it as simple as using the Sonos app on her phone to connect to the Beam?   Does she create her own account or use the account I created when I first set up the Beam? Will the Beam’s SonosVoice assistant be able to identify both my voice and my wife’s voice and then use the appropriate libraries?

Hi,I’ve had the Ikea SYMFONISK for a while now but recently we changed the wifi password and the lamp wont connect its speaker to my iphone. I’ve tried resetting the product with the app but it doesn’t seem to work. How do I fix this?

I am unable to sync the new Direct tv stream Gemini AIr remote to my Sonos Beam to control volume when playing music. I spent an hour on the phone with Sonos tech support and the guy told me this new remote is not  compatible [which makes no sense]. He tried everything to help but could not get it to work.My Samsung remote works fine but I don’t actually use it.Can anyone help?? 

I saw a topic of this name and am experiencing the same issue. I bought a Sonos Era 100 to replace a Sonos One SL in my system. But the sound produced by the Era 100 is worse than the One SL. Vocals and mids sound muffled. I have tried messing with the equalisation setting bass to min and treble to max but the sliders seem to have little effect on the voice comprehension. This is puzzling as most people seem to say the Era 100 is better. Perhaps there are bad batches. I am not sure now whether to keep the One SL. The one benefit for me of the Era 100 is the volume slider but the sound is annoying me, particularly as I mostly listen to speech radio. Is this something Sonos support can fix, for instance a replacement Era 100. Do others receive muffled voices from the Era 100.

I changed my configuration and removed some speakers from my system. When I turned them off they stayed in the app and there was only the option to “hide” them, but it didn’t work. I checked this board for the steps but didn’t find a solution, I just went through it with chat support and the below method worked.  Factory reset the speaker Open the sonos app A popup will come asking you to “Add” this “new speaker Close out of the pop-up, don’t add it.  Restart the app. This worked for me, the old speaker is now gone from the app.  The speaker I did it on was a roam. I wish I had known this before I shipped the other one I had and sold because apparently, I have to wait for that one to be activated by another user before it can be removed from my app.  

New to Sonos.  We are redoing our kitchen/living room and I’m adding 4 in-ceiling speakers with the amp.  My question is if I want the speakers to work with the tv, what’s the best way to do it?  Can I run an hdmi cord from the amp to the tv or do I need a soundbar to accomplish this?  Thanks for the help!

im adding a port to existing system, my app see it and begins the add process, I enter the port pin and the blue join light never starts blinking and even pushing it anyway doesn't allow the process to move forward 

Hello everyone,I'm encountering a compatibility issue while trying to integrate a new music streaming service into my Sonos system. I recently subscribed to a lesser-known music service called "HarmonyTunes," but I'm facing difficulties adding it to my Sonos app for playback through my speakers.Issue Details: Service Recognition: Despite HarmonyTunes being a relatively new music service, it claims to be compatible with Sonos systems. However, when I attempt to add it to my Sonos app as a music service, it doesn't show up in the available options for selection. Error Messages: Whenever I try to manually add HarmonyTunes using the 'Add Music Services' section in the Sonos app, I encounter an error message stating, "Service not available at the moment. Please try again later." This occurs consistently, and I've attempted this process multiple times over the past few days without success. Verified Account: I've ensured that my HarmonyTunes account is active and verified, and I can acce

System requires sonos bridge to be tethered to router. When it was unplugged & then plugged back, app can no longer detect my system (4 play 5s, sub, 2 connects for traditional systems). 

I recently upgraded my Comcast router.  Sonos no longer works.  Sonos app says I need to split my router signal.  Question.  Is this need to split particular to older models or is it an issue for all products?  Also, does splitting my signal slow or weaken my WiFi, in general?

Beam Gen 2 has to be restarted every time we want sound from our brand new Samsung TV. Will not appear in list of sound sources on TV. Connection is via HDMI eARC. If we power off Beam and restart it does appear. Why? Why? Why?

sonos engineering. i have been installing your stuff for 8 yearsi started installing sonos arcs when they first releasedi mainly connect them to samsung as they WERE the most behaved. the last 6 months. i am more and morerunning in to this scenario:sonos arc connected to a samsung Q90C and onesource( like directv or a hdmi switch connected to several sources. arc sets up fine when its the only source plugged inas soon as the other media source (s) is connected sonos arc drops - no sound.tv goes to tv speakersa year a ago i didn’t see this issue at all.  now i am running into it more often. reading the thread. apprentlyit happening to many. i understand the issue has to do with CEC. but why now?  as i didnt see this before.maybe the cec specs for on the tvs have changed?wonder if anyone in engineering is following and asking if there is any serious effort underway to resolve.having to add a cec-less adaptor to every source plugged into the tv or having to use optical, is am alternative,

Is there a remote that is compatible with the Beam Gen2 instead of using the app?  

I have a new  TCL 65MQLED80 2023  and Sonos Arc. I was able to connect the Arc to the TV using the HDMI arc port. However, I am not able to pair the remote. It is a IR remote. I have tried to add it using the Sonos app, but I get the message that no signal from remote control is found. How can I pair the remote control?  

How many speakers can a Sonos Arc setup support? I currently own the Sonos Premium Immersive Set with Arc. This comes with the Arc, two era 100s, and the subwoofer. However, I plan on upgrading the rear era 100 satellites to era 300s eventually. I also may want to add another subwoofer.How many speakers does the Sonos system support? Do I have to "replace" the era 100 satellites? Will they work along side the Era 300s, a Sonos Arc, and 2 sub woofers?

Sound cutting out for a split second.  ARC w/amp, sub and surrounds.   New 80 inch Samsung.  Unplugging the Arc and plugging back in fixed it for about a week and then it’s back.  Don’t want to keep doing that. Any updates form Sonos? Or fixes?   

Hello Sonos Community!I am having an issue where my Amp (and through it, my DALI wired speakers and 2 One SL satellite speakers) only seems to be connecting to and playing with my AppleTV, but is not showing up in the Sonos app. My separate Era 100s work fine and show in the Sonos app. My setup: Sonos Amp with wired (non-Sonos) speakers 2 x One SL satellite (which were and are connected via wifi to the amp, working fine) Apple TV → Samsung TV → ARC to Sonos AmpI set up and had these all working fine via/in the Sonos app. What I’m lately experiencing: I can still see my amp in the Airplay options, but it fails to connect. (I can connect to my Era 100s with no issue at all.) I do not see the Amp or the One SL satellites in the Sonos app, although I used to. They still work wirelessly in surround sound together, so I know they are online.  If I play TV or audio via my Apple TV, it works perfectly (including the One SL satellites), including Dolby surround. So in this situation, I can ‘pla

Hi,I’ve got the following SONOS speakers at home:1x Play:3 (ethernet)2x Play:1 (paired) (wireless)1x Beam Gen 1 (ethernet)1x Roam (wireless)These are all on static leases on my router. I’ve noticed that recently the Play:3 drops sound periodically, I usually have this paird with the Play:1s and this also drops sound when paired. When I tried to factory reset the Play:3 or unplug it I find that it takes a bit of effort to get it back into the system. Any thoughts on whether this might be a sign that it has developed a fault? I initially had it wireless and had these issues so I figured I would try it via ethernet but am now finding that this too is seeing the same issues. The problems seem to resolve themselves for a while if I power cycle the speaker.Am I right in thinking that the speakers are running their own mesh network? I have a Unifi access point but only see the Beam on there, maybe it’s too far away from the other speakers. Any ideas? Do I need to replace the Play:3? Thanks 

My port can't get power. I've tried several different power cords and the port fails to light up. Any ideas on the source of the problem?

I have a Sonos ARC connected to a Sony Bravia and use a satellite box. Randomly when I switch on the TV there is no sound. I have to disconnect and reconnect the ARC to get the sound. Any suggestions to eliminate this would be appreciated.

Puedo emparejar Move y Move2??

I am experiencing issues with my Play:3 speakers - they keep dropping out after they’ve been running/ connected for a few hours. The only solution seems to be to power cycle the speaker and it’s ok again for a while. My system includes 2 Play:1s, 4 Play:3s and 1 Sonos Playbase.I have tried everything (rebooting my router, factory resetting all my speakers, reserving (fixing) the IP addresses of all speakers, trying different music sources). Always the same result - the Play:3 speakers start dropping out intermittently at first and then permanently off. Until I switch them off and then on again (power cycle). Then they work ok again for a few hours. The Play:1s and the SoundBase don’t seem to be affected. It seems like it might be a memory issue (cache not emptying?) and it only started happening in the last couple of months - previously everything worked perfectly - so I’m wondering if a Sonos update has caused all this? My system is running Sonos S2 and has been perfect previously, so
