Hello,My subwoofer keeps expiring unexpectedly.As in, it briefly turns off before turning back on. When I stop and restart it, it always starts. It seems to happen more frequently when I play it at medium to low volumes.What are your thoughts?  Moderator edit: Corrected autocorrected “subscription” to “subwoofer”. 

I would like to use my Eras 100 as a speaker for my Mac Studio.Since I want to avoid delays, I would like to use the line-in on the ERAS 100. Bought a USB-C to 3.5mm adaptor from Apple, but it’s not working.Do I need the SONOS dongle absolutely? Is there something unique about the SONOS version?  I don’t think the Mac Studio has a “pre-amp” but I am not sure. Will it work once I have the proper dongle or I will be limited by my Mac Studio output capacity?

Every update is torture.   Sonos seems like a pretty with it company so why is the update process so difficult?

I have a 10 year old system with one ZONEBRIDGE1 and 2 CONNECT:AMP. The two amps controlled all of the wired speakers, one upstairs and one downstairs. They were controlled through a Sonos app on a very old iPad. It looks like my Bridge has died, along with the iPad. I downloaded the Sonos app on my phone, but it can’t find my system. I think I need to replace the bridge, and understand it is outdated. Given that everything is wired, is there a product I can get that would allow me to run the system as is, without having to reinvest in new speakers everywhere?

Alexa whisper in Era 100 not working, is it normal?

How can I get my Sonos Roam SL to echo music/radio on my Alexa

Ok so i have a commercial gym and i have SONOS for the music.I have had it for some time and it works good, i have it set to wake up at 03:55 in the morning right before the gym opens up.The gym is open from 04.00 in the morning until Midnight.But what i would like to do is at 00:05 is to start a new playlist with Alarm Sounds because i have some member that stay behind closing hours sometimes.I want this playlist to just play for maybe 10min and then stop. How do i set this up?Regular music start at 03:55 in the morning and stop playing 23:59 when the gym closes Start a new playlist at 00:05 (after midnight) where i have Alarm sounds :) that plays for just 10min and then stops and nothing else plays until 03:55 when the regular music starts againI have been looking around but i am not confident to set it up correct and i dont want alarm sounds to be on from 00:05 and all night :) haha

New router fitted and can't get alexa on sound bar

I got delivery of my beam 2 on the 6th and have the 5.1 setup with sub and one SLs which is great.Ive had an issue twice now with my beam going full volume sounding like a machine guns going off in my livingroom which is unbearable, especially for my dog 😅 and I’ve unplugged it straight away. Once plugged back in it’s fine.The first time was when connecting the beam to my TV but the hdmi had not yet been plugged into the unit, so power on only, 2nd time was when I had paused the tv for a few minutes.I will submit a diagnostic to Sonos next week when I can contact support but thought in the meantime I’d check if this is something anyone else has had issues with as I can’t find anything online?Thanks in advance 🎵

Playing music on my Roam is a very frustrating hit and miss thing. Sometimes it works, but more often it doesn’t. Never had this problem with JBL bluetooth speakers. It works great on wi-fi, but not when travelling. It shows the connection on my phone and music is playing, but no sound comes out of speaker. I have turned off speaker and un paired and re paired in many different instances and still no go. I can’t figure out what I do differently when the music actually plays. I am using this only when not in my home with the wi fi connection. Anyone have similar issues? Have any fixes?

Hey everyone,I just bought a pair of ERA 100 Speakers that I want to put on wallI also bought the dedicated wall support but I’m wondering if I can rotate the speakers 90° just like below :I think the speakers pretty heavy and i’m scared it fall, is it possible ?  

My system (running on Sonos Net) has been stable for about a year. For no reason, no WLAN changes etc. the r/h stereo pair (Play3 - deats below), keeps ”forgetting” its paired status and no music will play thru it. The L/H speaker works fine, whilst still paired. If I break the pair I can play music thru the individual R/H speaker without needing to reconnect to SonosNet or system. I can even re add the 2 speakers to a steep pair again with no problem. However, overnight the R/H speaker will stop playing in a pair and I have to repeat the same process. It is not dropping network or Sonos net connection overnight. I have removed the whole system and reconfigured it all again but same thing keeps happening. Also, recent software updates (latest = 15.7) removed my System Name from the config and only retained the speaker products. Had to re enter the System Name multiple times as keeps forgetting this setting. Also, when streaming from Spotify, crossfade does not work, tracks cut into eac

Hi I am running a Stero pair of Sonos 5 and the sub and want to pair up a turntable , can any one suggest the WIFI connected turntable that I may look at which would connect and play without the RCA cables.Need to connect over wifi please 

Hi, I am using 2x Era 100 as stereo pair connected to my PC via Bluetooth. I’d like to add a Sub mini to this pair. Will this system work for Bluetooth streaming via PC/Mac? Sonos website mentions that the Sub Mini does not support Bluetooth. I know I could add them as a system on Sonos app and airplay music, but I am not sure if it will work with BT.

I have a Sonos sound bar, subwoofer and 2 speakers that I purchased in late 2016 in the US. I’ve just moved to the UK and I’m hearing that components ‘should’ be able to be used here in the UK but I want to confirm that before I try plugging them in and connecting them.How can I determine what models I have, and if they are or are not able to be used here in the UK?

I have three zones. Somehow the app got scrambled, misidentifying each zone. How do I reprogram the app? Thanks 

Hello, I’m looking to hook up roku ultra to Epson Home Cinema 1080P Projector to sonos amp but unable to get sound out of speakers.  Currently I have HDMI 1 on projector to roku ultra and HDMI 2 going to sonos amp.  I look on sonos S2 app for configuration but unable to find the connection.  Any help would great. Thank you!

My One SLs all of a sudden essentially just sound like main speakers (similar to my ARC); whereas previously they were more for surrounds/rear speakers. I’ve removed them and added them back in but still no change. Any idea on what is causing that?

Hi everyone!I am Pablo and just received my beloved Sonos beam gen 2. I have watched so many videos about how easy it is to pair it with your phone and I just can’t. The app says that any device is found. I already unplugged the Sonos and restart the rooter, but any good news. Any advice would be more than welcome. I am running out of patience and hope. Thanks in advance.  

I have recently purchased 2 x Era300 and Cannot get Dolby Atmos sound. I tried them firstly as rear speakers to no avail. Then I tried to make them surround sound after first separating them. The system would not let me alter them to surround. Which I believe needs to be surround for Atmos to work.

Is there a way to play music stored on a portable hard drive ?I tried plugging the drive to my asus router but it doesn't pick it up.Ta.

Hello,I’ve just moved countries and no longer have in-ceiling rear speakers for both my living room (arc + old sub + amp + 4 x in-ceiling rear) and bedroom setups (old beam+ amp + 4x in ceiling rear) I’m thinking of replacing the in-ceiling rears with 2 x era 300 in the living room and 2 x era 100 for the bedroom.  Would I no longer require the amps with these new setups?Apologies if it’s been asked before, tried to search for an answer.  regards,JP

This morning I woke up to a laser surgery commercial, followed by music from the non-commercial radio station I had set as my alarm on Sonos (mid-song). The commercial was not from the radio station. Previously the Sonos alarm would go straight to the music I had set as the alarm, and it was great. Now it’s not great at all. It seems Sonos is now inserting commercials. Is there a way to avoid these commercials? 

When playing Spotify to Sonos via Wi-Fi on an Android device, sometimes I need to change the volume of another application (such as the Clock application) using the device's physical buttons so that I can hear an alarm sounding. However, this simultaneously and unwantedly increases the volume of the Sonos speakers. Is there a way to disable controlling the volume of Sonos speakers via the device's physical buttons and limit control of the speakers' volume to the Sonos application only?

Can’t you just use Sonos speakers as speakers? No internet involved just plane old speakers.
