Sonos app cannot find sonos 1 speakers after changing router. The prompts tell me device must be on the same system. It directs me to update system. That just tells me it cannot find the system. In a previous conversation a popular response was to go to settings/ system/ etc. The app won’t let me click system. How do I get out of this catch-22?

How can I set up with Sonos app to pair Beam with Sonos one automatically on startup using airplay to Apple TV and - NOT have it be surround sound?  Every time I restart I have to use the Sonos app to re-pair the speakers. I have a  Beam and two Sonos One SL’s but want the same sound in all three.

I am looking to add some rear speakers to my setup.   I primarily watch TV and at times listen to music.I am trying to decide between the ERA 300 and the Five.    Any recommendations?   I have a Sonos ARC 

I have a Sonos beam iworking n one address and now want to add a Sonos1 in a different address which means using a different router but cannot connect

Hello,We just upgraded our turntable to an audio technica bluetooth.  We have 2 Sonos one and 2 sonos one SL.  I understand the Sonos one does not have bluetooth, but can we connect the Sonos one SL to the turntable via Bluetooth? And if so, how? We tried the holding the bluetooth button until the ping sound, then setting the turntable to bluetooth connect, but they will not find each other.  We upgraded to the SL with this last pair because we wanted to go wireless with the turntable.Thanks 

I have a playbar connected to sonos boost and play 1s with sub gen 2 in my living room and a play 3 in my bedroom, I just got a Samsung 77sc95 OLED tv and playbar is showing its age now, I'm wondering if the sub gen 3 is necessary or worth it? Or are they functionally same, Would I still have best quality sound from my sub ?  I also have a sonos boost I use I'd rather keep speakers on their own network and not clutter my home. I considered samsung q990c and I use the sub next to my tv wired to the playbar and got no connection issues, But is atmos and all surrounds etc same quality on sub gen 2 as it is on 3? 

I have a number of S1 speakers run from a ZP90 base. The ZP90 has now died and I also know that the ZP90 is now discontinued. I need to get a replacement but I’m not sure what the current best option is. Is there a current compatible replacement? I have no desire to upgrade my speakers etc. I just one my S1s to work again...   Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to play on my Sonos system an MP3 file stored directly on my iPhone or iPad? My system has a Beam as a TV soundbar, and two Connect:AMP devices powering ceiling mounted speakers in the house. The file(s) are just simple files or are under the Dropbox app, but the files are stored locally on my device(s) and not in the cloud. Surely it must be possible to do this, but I've not been able to figure it out..

. I have been using Sonos for 14-15 years, so I have a legacy system, with 2 Connect Amps and a Play 5; but also Playbar connected to 2 Play 1s and a One. Waiting in the wings are an Era 100 and a Sub Mini, and these have pushed me to split my successfully running S1 system, so as to have an S2 new setup on the ground floor, with Playbar, Play 1s and One, introducing the new kit, and a revised S1 system using the legacy kit for now on the top floor. I believed I had removed the legacy items, but I am driven mad by the setting up of S2, which complains that the relevant items are not on the same network, insisting on reboot of the router, and each component, leading to a process to Join Sonos net - but this fails, with the terribly helpful advisory message to ‘try again later’ - of course nothing changes, and I am left grinding my teeth, with nothing working at all. One thing - at some point a few iterations ago, one of the Connects was shown still listed, and I took the option to simpl

Hello,I have a weird problem with a Sonos playbar, When the Playbar has an internet connection via ethernet and when i add it to Sonos app with 3 more speakers the connection of the whole home network drops, this is only with ethernet connection, when i change the network configuration to wifi the problem is fixed.​​​​Also when i add a new Sonos system with only the Playbar, ethernet does work perfectly.2 of the 3 other speakers are on wifi and 1 is connected with ethernet.When i configure using app the network connection loss begins when i choose the room of the Playbar. What is here the problem? The orange ethernet light is flashing abnormal quick when i added it to the Sonos app with the 3 speakers.​​

I have a S1 controller on my Mac Computer but when I go to the app store on that same computer there is no app for the S2 controller. I can find it on my phone but I want to add a music library and can only do that from my computer. Please help. 

We have a sonos SL one that we previously connected without any issue to our Huawei model B311-211 which uses SIM card for internet access. This router provides us wifi to our phones, computers, and worked with the sonos SL one without issue. A few months later, we got a new SIM card for internet with a new provider, and installed it into the exact same router. From that point, the sonos SL one stopped functioning, and when we attempt to connect it to the wifi network, it gives a "having trouble connecting to the internet" error. Can anyone help with us?

Please help me with speaker positioning. I currently use Beam Gen 2 and Sub mini with my 43” Sony TV. My wife watches TV series and movies daily. I’m more in music, both streaming and vinyl records, from a vintage Thorens TT connected to basic Yamaha speakers. I would like to emphasise more the music reproduction and keep the HT functions. I added a plant of my room. First option:Should I go separating HT and music reproduction, still keeping in Sonos ecosystem, for example adding a pair of Era 100 or 300 connected to the turntable?In this setup, could the HT part be used to reproduce music at the same time (especially the sub mini)?Will this be beneficial giving the fact they will sits in the same room?Could the Eras be in use also when watching TV? Would it make sense? Would be an issue if the speakers will be placed close to the turntable, so both will be on the left side of the TV? Second option:Add a pair of Era 100 as surround, keeping the music reproduction only from streaming o

Hope you're all doing great! So, I've got this big art gallery, and I'm trying to figure out the best audio setup to echo the sound throughout the entire space. I want visitors to feel the vibe of the art, you know? Any recommendations on which Sonos hardware would work best for creating a sweet echo effect that complements the art installations? I'm a bit lost in the audio world, so any simple advice or tips from your experiences would be super appreciated. Thanks a bunch! Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

Hello - I was hoping for some help please, I’m not great with tech.On my Sonos system, I have three Sonos Ones and I also have a Tidal family plan for me and my two kids and we each have a Tidal account in a family plan.When the kids try and use Tidal via the Sonos app it is set up as my Tidal accounts/ playlists etc and we can’t change to their specific accounts even if we select them.Does anyone know of a way to change this so it is specific to them please? I suspect that the problem is that I’m the main Tidal “owner”.Thanks, Eddie

I can’t connect my Play 1 to my Philippine wifi.  Is there a problem using the Play 1 in the Philippines or is it my wifi provider?

Just wondering if anyone has the sonos era 300 mounted upside down, close to the celling with the sonos wall mounts as this would be my preferred choice for the layout of my room as I have lamps and a bit of a wired l shaped room. Going to be used paired with the arc and a sub gen 2 and was wondering what experience people were having. Thanks NW

I currently have a Harmon Kardon speaker system (5.1) with a wireless subwoofer.  The tuner is old enough that I had to use the adapter that came with the subwoofer to get it hooked up.   I have a Visio smart TV that connects to the tuner which is the surround sound system I would like to replace the tuner and speakers (keep the sub) with just a Sonos system.  Plugging the TV into the Beam, Arc, or similar.  The tuner is a pain.Can I hook up a Sonos system that will just "work" when I turn on the TV and watch XMen movies, then turn off the TV and say "Alexa, play Pink Fluffy Unicorns on my Pandora" and it will again, just "work"? I don't ever use the tuner for radio and haven't used the DVD player in years.  

Subject: Urgent Help Needed with Sonos Home Theatre Setup - Height Volume and Atmos IssuesDear Sonos Community,I recently invested in the Sonos Arc, Sub Gen 3, and Era 300 to create a home theatre system using my Samsung 65Q90C TV. Unfortunately, I've been encountering a persistent issue with the height volume since the initial setup, and now the same problem persists with the Era 300.The height volume seems to be non-functional, and I suspect there might be configuration or system integration issues. This issue is particularly frustrating as it prevents me from experiencing the full Atmos environment not just in Atmos-enabled movies but also with Apple Music spatial audio content.I'm reaching out to the community for assistance. Has anyone else faced a similar problem, and could you please share any solutions or suggestions to resolve this issue? Your quick response will be highly appreciated as I'm eager to enjoy the full potential of my Sonos home theatre setup.Thank you in advance

Hi,I know these are submitted a lot, but I figured I’d put my diagnostic number in and see if I could get some help.Diagnostic confirmation number: 1173542559My speakers constantly drop out, specifically my Move, Play:1, Connect, and Play:5.  This happens even if I’m doing streaming or from my turntable which is connected to one of the 5’s.We gave them their own IP addresses to stop them from being assigned new ones constantly and that worked for a bit but we are back to things dropping in and out.  We’ve rebooted, moved them around, tested with one directly hooked into the router, nothing worked. Thanks for any help you can provide!
