Does anyone else constantly have problems with their Sonos system disconnecting and constantly have to update network and is there a way to fix this?

I had 2 play:3s using S2 and ditched the bridge when I updated to S2 (years ago). One of my play 3:s died. I tossed it and purchased a used play 3 on ebay. Just received it, plugged it in and went to the app to add it but it never finds it. The white light flashes for about a minute and then goes solid. Some help I found online says to factory reset it by pressing and holding the button while plugging it in. I tried that but that did not change the behavior. While light flashes then goes solid. Don't know what to do. Please help!

I don’t want Sonos radio taking up screen space as I don’t use it and have access to plenty of music that I do want. So how do I remove it from view?

I have lossless audio for Spotify whether I use the app on my phone, PC app or Alexa app on all Akexa devices and PC speakers. But when i switch auduo to my Sonos 100, which I got the other day, the lossless option on where the song is playing goes away. How do I get it to translate to Sonos? Lossless was kind of the point of getting it

I know this question has been asked before, but I can only find older posts, and I’m hoping there has been a more recent update to the system that might allow this. I have a turntable connected to a Sonos Amp and listen to vinyl on wired and SONOS speakers (ones, ERA 100’s, and Beam gen 2 + Sub Mini) throughout the house. Now I’d like to listen through wireless headphones, too. But on first look, it appears this is not possible through the Sonos Ace Headphones? I’d like to be wrong. Can anyone help with how to connect decent headphones (Sonos or something else) to a system like this? Thanks. 

I can’t play my music in my library on my computer on my Sonos system. I’ve updated my son is up and I have updated music library 

I’m looking for speakers to pair with my Sonos Amp. I’m looking at the Dali Menuet SE, KEF LS50 Meta or B&W 706 s3.  Has anyone tried any of these speakers with a Sonos amp and if so what are their thoughts? Alternatively does anyone have any other speakers they can recommend.FYI I mainly use the amp for my home cinema and listen to music now and again.  I would love to hear people’s thoughts?

We have a (Sony pslx310bt) connected to 4 Sonos Era 100 speakers. When we first got this set up, the blue tooth function did not work on the sony and the speakers had to have a hard line in connection to work. They worked great…. Until the the update allowing the blue tooth function to work (supposedly). Now every time a record starts playing, one pair of era 100s starts playing the song about ten seconds ahead of the other pair. I have to go into the app and mess with settings to get it working properly. Sometimes this lasts one song, sometimes the whole record. It's enough to drive one crazy.  When I use the sonos system with bluetooth connected to my phone, it starts playing with only one pair of the speakers and I have to go in to select the other set every time. For as much as this stuff costs I don't feel like it should be so so complicated to use.  What gives?

To my Christmas horror, anything by John Rutter and the Cambridge Singers is now blocked. Is this because Tidal cannot pay the Collegium record label? Here am I back to using a CD player when these carols should be streaming. Has anyone had the same experience? Merry Christmas!

I have some MP3’s in the File Folder on my iPhone. Is there any way to stream them to my ERA 300’s?

Hi,I am having an issue where one of my speakers does not always show in the app after it has been idle for some time.Restarting the app usually fixes it, but it keeps happening again. The speaker is powered on and connected to the same network. Is this a known behaviour, or are there settings I should check to keep it visible?

I have a Sonos system with 2 Amps and two small speakers I am getting continuous dropouts. I tried to change the channel, but this is great out and I can’t change it. What can I do to fix it?

Music Fades IN & OUT, randomly and repeatedly. WiFi Connection is flawless. Software UpToDate. what now ?

On the 21st December 2025 my surround sound One SLs stopped playing and in the app it did they could not be found. I reset them and re-added them and they both updated to 92.0-72090. They then would not add as surrounds to my Arc Ultra so I,reset this and re-added this. This also updated to 92.0-72090. This version isn’t mentioned here - https://support.sonos.com/en-gb/article/release-notes-sonos-system-updates Anyone know why this version is not mentioned and why I had to re-setup all 3 speakers?

I am experiencing an ongoing issue that has now persisted for over a year. One of the primary reasons we invested in the Sonos system was its ability to set alarms to play specific playlists — a feature we used daily. For the past year, however, the alarm function has been essentially unusable. Here are the consistent issues we experience:I cannot set alarms from my phone at all. My husband can set alarms from his phone, but only with the chime sound — no playlists will play. No matter what we try, the playlist option simply does not work.I have:Contacted your support team multiple times via phone and chat. Been told repeatedly that the issue “needs to be escalated” — but without receiving any follow-up or resolution. Double-checked every possible setting and update on our end.I would like a direct and specific response on:What is causing this issue? Whether Sonos intends to fix it — and if so, the expected timeline. 

Multidecade sonos owner.  I've seen tunein stations come and go.  I've had issues playing certain stations on S1 because it didn't support the stations bitrate (radio dismuke) but was fine on S2.I've a problem with a specific tunein station called “radio synthpop”.  It queues, it plays TuneIn ads, it shows the song playing, the song playing updates when the next song starts -- but not one hint of audio.  I can play it through a browser no problem.Can someone do me a favor and see if you can reproduce this by loading this station?I can't post the image of it (sigh) but it's purple, green, and white.  SynthPOP RADIO “Tu Defecto... Perfecto".https://tunein.com/radio/Synthpop-Radio-s190690/

I have recently purchased a Beam Gen2 and a couple of Era 100s. My existing system is S1 so I need to upgrade if I want them to all play happily together. This I am failing to do. I have removed my 2 s1 only Connects but when i run the s2 Update it finds the system but is unable to update it.If I run the S1 app it tells me to check for updates, when i do this it takes me to the play store S2 App entry. The “system compatibility check” option is greyed out. If I run s2 it will find my s1 system but says it cannot update the system.I have been in touch with Sonos Support - the upshot of which was the 2nd line guy wanted me to reset my s2 components and add them one by one. This of course will result in me losing all my playlists. - which the Support guy said was the normal update approach.Help!

Hi, I’ve recently upgraded my soundbar from Beam 2 to the Arc Ultra and I’m finding, when watching movies that the soundtrack element is very low in the mix.  I have the Arc Ultra paired with two Era 300s and a Sub Mini but I seem to be getting very high levels for sound effects and very low volume levels for the music score.Is there anything I can adjust to beef up the music?

I recently purchased Sonos Arc UltraSub 4Era 100While I am happy with the sound quality a few things annoy me.I play from my NAS..Why the limit of The limit of 65000 tracks?I have several apps that cost a few bucks that can cope with my entire library of approx 180000 tracks.I find this limit pretty stupid. Hopefully this will be addressed.Also there does not seem to be any option to power down any of the Sonos gear even when the TV is powered down..Only option is to switch it off at the power point as far as I can tell.(unless I’ve missed something).My old Sony soundbar had no such issue.

I currently have a Sonus Arc and Sub Gen3. At some point I am going to add my turntable using a Sonus Port. Before that I want to add surround sound by adding 2 x ERA 100’s on dedicated stands.My lounge room is  6.5mtrs x 3.5mtrs. My TV is wall mounted midway on the long side of the room, with the Sonus Arc mounted onto the base of TV wall bracket . My settee/listening point is opposite to the TV -so about 3mtr away from the soundbar. The Sub Gen3 is in the corner of the room to the right of the TV.Due to the layout of the room, the ERA 100’s can only be placed either side of the setee, either wall mounted or on stands. So one speaker will be no more than half a meter away from my head when sitting on the setee and the same for the person sitting next to me.I have two questions;1) Will I be able to use the ERA 100’s as surround speakers and as speakers when listening to music over Spotify? If not, what would I need to do to get the 100’s to work with Spotify2) With the speakers being s

I just want to confirm there is no way to use a Sonos connect with a STR-DH190 to play records without the annoying delay. There needs to be a way to keep the integrated Phono amp operating at the same time you have it set the amp set to input 4 as far as I can tell. Not a total dealbreaker. Just checking. 

I am planning to change my setup on the Sony Bravia A80J. Currently, I have signal issues, likely caused by the Hue Sync Box, so I want to remove that and connect my consoles directly to the TV.The problem is that the TV only has two HDMI 2.1 (120Hz) ports:HDMI 3 (eARC) - Currently used by the Sonos Beam Gen 2.HDMI 4 - Currently used by the Hue Sync Box.I need both of these ports for my gaming consoles to get 120Hz. To make this work, I am looking for a specific HDMI switch that has an eARC extractor/pass-through function.My goal is to plug the Sonos Beam into this switch rather than directly into the TV's HDMI 3 port, effectively freeing up that port for a console while still getting audio. I don't mind losing full Dolby Atmos support; standard Dolby is fine, as long as I can still control the volume with my TV remote.Could you let me know if there is a switch that allows this specific configuration?

Good day,I have two Sonos Era 100. They both work fine individually when i connected them to my computer via bluetooth. However, when i paired them up as a stereo pair, the speaker that isn't connect to the PC keeps breaking up, and the one that is connected works perfectly. Same thing happens when i connect my Samsung phone to the stereo pair. I have also tried connecting Bluetooth to the other speaker and the problem persist in a reverse manner. The breaking is extremely frequent, about half or one full second every ten seconds. When i off the wifi the breaking is way worst.The two speakers are on either side of my 27 inch monitor and the computer is on the left side under the table. Bluetooth from the computer is a Bluetooth 5.0 dongle from TP Link. Mesh router is about 5.5meters (18 feet)  unblocked from my PC.I have no issues when streaming spotify from my phone.I have tried all of solutions i can find on the web, including power cycling on the speakers, unpair/re-pair stereo pair
