Sonos Roam, Sonos android app, trying to create a playlist of “BBC6 music” (via “Sonos Radio Station”), TripleJ (“TuneIn Station”, Australian radio) and DoubleJ (also via “TuneIn Station”).The three are in the “Stations” but weirdly only BBC6 can be added into “Favorites”.Anyway, the goal is to go to the next/prev station by double/triple tapping on the speaker’s “play” button, is there a way to achieve such thing? Thanks,

Over the past few weeks, I noticed my Sonos speaker with Google Assistant is not registering commands to control music. I can ask Google to play music and ask what music is playing, but when I ask it to stop music, it says no music is playing. I deregistered Sonos from the Google app and unlinked Spotify and then set everything up again, but this didn’t work. I think there’s a bug with either Google Assistant or Spotify, but I think it’s Spotify. Also having the same issue with the Amazon Alexa voice. Only thing that’s working is the Sonos voice. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi everyone,I've encountered a problem that i hope that you can help me with.My TV supports Atmos but after connecting an Apple TV 4k 3rd generation it wont work, in fact on the apple TV menu it doesnt show, theres supposed to be an "Immersive Sound" option.My Beam 2 Generation is connected through the ARC(Not eArc, but as far as i could see it shouldnt matter), apple TV into normal HDMI.My TV is a LG 65sj810v-za. I managed to toggle "Bypass" and i also tried passing both as "auto" and PCM, however nothing seems to work...Dolby Vision and 4k works on the apple tv, i can get it to play 5.1 aswell but as i said, the Apple TV wont recognize it as Atmos. My TV will play atmos when i stream through the tv and not ATV.Does anyone have any suggestions to how i can fix this?

I have a Sonos Connect that just started cutting in/out while playing music. The sound doesn't cut out on any other Sonos devices that I have on the same wifi. Nothing has changed in the house and I don’t have any neighbors close enough that the could have a wifi interfere with mine. I have tried different steaming services, I have run different input devices on the tuner and they all work fine. It seems like I'm down to the Connect being the issue. Any thoughts on something else I can try?

  Currently, I am using a Sonos Amp with 2x DIY speakers. I would like to expand this setup with 2x surround speakers. Therefore, is it possible to connect 2x Sonos One's speakers to the existing amp so that I can create a 4.0 surround setup?Thanks! 

Just one of my five zones needs Sonos wireless comms, the rest are all ethernet wired back to the router, This one zone is an Echo Show wired to the line in of a Connect. The Connect line in is set up to autoplay to a Play 1 pair + Sub. All zones are set up to use Sonos net.When all zones but the referred one are powered off, the play 1 pair+ Sub will still play music that the Echo sends to the Connect. This must be via an independent WiFi comms set up from the Connect to Play 1 pair + Sub. The question I have is if running an easily run ethernet wire from the Connect to one or both play 1 units will enhance music play stability or hinder it.To eliminate some occasional stutter I have set the delay to the max of 2000 ms, but I cannot be sure if that is in the wireless stream to the Show, or downstream of it in the Sonos components.

Quick question.   I'm not tech savvy so laymans terms please.My elderly neighbours (avid gardeners) have just purchased a Sonos Roam.  They want to be able to leave their mobile phones inside and have the Roam outside under the verandah so that when their mobiles ring they hear it through the speaker.  I've read they can't answer via the speaker but is it possible to connect to hear the ringing? If it is, where do I find the instructions to connect it please.Thank you.

I need to reset my generation 3 sub. I had to exchange my arc for a new one. I can’t get it to link to my new arc. Can someone help me with the reset process? Thanks 

Can I turn the sync between the speakers on and off

I have a comprehensive Sonos system with around twenty components.  No issues with connectivity on any of them, except for one Play 5 which dropped from the system.  I reset (numerous times at this point) and could not get it to reconnect wirelessly (could not join the temporary Sonos network).  When I connect via ethernet it finds it right away and speaker can be set up.  I have even been able to disconnect the cable and have it remain functioning as long as I don’t unplug the speaker.  Once I unplug it to move it to its preferred location, it can no longer be found (wifi range is ample).  Sometimes when I unplug it it will immediately lose connection.  I submitted a diagnostic 251709449

HiI have a Playbar connected to the TV via optical cable and the network via WiFi. The Playbar is 5ft away from the main broadband/WiFi router.I also have a Play:3 that is also connected via WiFi that sits in another room, about 15ft and 2 walls away.I've read some of the other threads about Playbar dropping out and have tried a number of the suggestions from those (that fit my setup) but I'm now getting to a point where I'm thinking of ditching Sonos all together.The Playbar was connected via ethernet and one of the suggestions was to use WiFi which I thought had improved it but the drop outs are back. In the past 30 minutes whilst listening to the radio with the TV off, it's been dropping out every couple of minutes for up to 10 seconds.The Play:3 does not drop out.The TV is a Panasonic and this problem only started within the last 2 months..... same TV, same WiFi, same setup.Unplugging the Playbar power cable, leaving it a couple of minutes, plugging back in seems to resolve it for

I currently have a Sonos playbar and sub and want to add a set of Sonos 5 speakers to my system.Do the Sonos 5 need to be connected to my router or will the connect to my existing speakers wireless through the app?

The Era 300 can Trueplay tune itself on the Android app.  I was automatically prompted to do this when first adding the Era 300’s to my system, but I declined as I was going to add them as rears to my surround with the Arc and sub.  After getting the surround all setup with the Era 300’s I can’t find a way to Trueplay tune that system now.  Is it possible?  Or is it only possible when they are by themselves?  If that’s the case is the feature coming to Trueplay tune them from an Android device when they are part of a surround system?

I had been using my older ZP80 with my cambridge dacmagic200 DAC and everything was great. I loved the sound. This configuration worked on S1.  I recently added a pair of sonos 5 speakers which sound great but work off of S2, so I have been forced to use S1 for one thing and S2 for another and it is not convenient anymore and I have been having issues with the S1 set up.So I decided to get the port to replace my ZP80 and run everything off of S2. I have it working, but dont like the sound as much as what I had before. I know the port has a nice DAC built in but I prefer to use my cambridge DAC, but I cant seem  to get it configured to work right. Before i used through the Toslink connection and all was well. I have tried using the port with the composite connection to the cambridge, but the cambridge does not seem to be taking over. I want to just try bypassing the DAC in the port and using my cambridge since I already own it and prefer the sound, if this is possible. If not I may send

Hello.  I tried to connect my sonos one gen 2 to my Apple TV HD gen 4.  But after minutes the Apple TV send the sound to my Tv speakers and not to my sonos.   :( help! 

I have owned a Roam for about a year now and it used to work perfectly fine, I only ever used it via Bluetooth and played music from Spotify on my phone, pretty much never opened the Sonos app. I got a new phone recently and had to reconnect my Roam. This has proven impossible. I have tried everything on the app to connect, I am able to get to the stage where the speaker connects with my Wi-Fi but after that I get a message telling me to power the speaker off then turn it back on to finish setup. When I do this, the app forgets the speaker (cannot find the product) and I don’t know what to do besides start over again. I want to connect via Bluetooth but it seems I cannot until this setup is finished, as the speaker does not show up as an option to pair in Bluetooth in my phone settings. Has anyone had a similar experience? I just want to be able to use my speaker again.

Hi, I’ve been setting up Sonos system, right now only one speaker 8) (Roam SL)I’ve configured a Windows 10 Pro laptop to have a shared music folder with subdirectories of artist\album.Using the android sonos app I’ve tried indexing the directory. The app seems to start indexing, but only one album shows up as available. All the files have the same permission level set to “Read”.(There are 100+ artists)Has anybody experienced this, or indeed is there a workaround/fix ?Many thanks

Hey,I have been having issues with my Sonos Roam for a while now as it hasn’t showed up as an available unit when I listen to music for a while now. I always ignored it and just listened to music from my laptop but today I wanted to fix this issue. I was unable to login to my account using the same email where I get the newsletter, the app would always tell me to try again as something went wrong. I googled and read someone suggest checking the sonos settings and allowing sonos to connect via local network after having changed to a new phone. Finally, I could log in but now the next issue is that Sonos will only accept my flatmates mail address as a log in option because her account is connected to the network I believe (she has two sonos devices but on a different floor). Is there a way to fix this? I probably haven’t explained myself very well but perhaps someone understands.All I want is to listen to music like I was able to in the beginning 😥

I have many playlists created in Apple Music.  They are comprised of songs I own and songs through Apple Music streaming service.  The way that the Apple Music app sorts playlists is alphabetically with a priority (listed at the top of the list) to folders made up of multiple play lists.  To me this is the way I prefer my playlists sorted with folders first.  However, in the Sonos app (iOS and Windows desktop) there isn’t way that I can find to change how playlists are displayed.  They appear to be in alphabetical order with the priority to individual playlists first then at the bottom comes the playlist folders.  Am I wrong and is there a way to change how these are sorted?  Thanks!

Hi all,I have Sonos in 7 rooms around my house, but the one I have most problems with is part of a stereo pair of Play 3s in my Study.The incoming electricity cable travels in the ceiling space directly above it, so I assumed that that was part of the problem, so I wired it back to an access point.Even though it is wired I have to restart it pretty much every day as it loses connection.Any obvious reasons that I may have missed?Thanks in advance.Scott
