Hi folks,I have had a bit of a saga with my Sonos Connect working with my Sonos system. Quick Summary:Upon purchase, successfully added Sonos Connect Gen 2 to system that includes 2 Play:1s, one Play:5, and a Roam.  After some time, the Line In showed as Disconnected, and ultimately the Connect needed a system update that it could not execute. This was resolved with Sonos Support after successfully updating while connected via Ethernet.  Several weeks later, the Sonos Connect Line-In again showed disconnected and needed a system update that it could not execute via Wi-Fi. This time nothing worked (all the flavors of reboots on the phone with Sonos Support).  Out of curiosity, I took the Connect to another house and connected it to my in-laws’ Sonos system, on which it successfully updated and added to the system via Wi-Fi, When I took the Connect back to my home, hard reset, and tried to add to my system, it still shows as Not Registered (which it didn’t on my in-laws’ system). It no l

One of my era 300 is set up, it  works fine, the sound is ok, but the indicator light flashes very quickly (green and orange) randomly, also when this happens, it happens with a sound like a click when the color changes.

Hi all, I bought an Arc Ultra about a month ago and hooked it up to my Hisense TV. I have it plugged into the eARC port, CEC and all that is turned on. The only other thing plugged into the TV is an Apple TV 4K which is how we watch everything on the TV. About once per day the TV shuts off. The audio comes through the soundbar but you can’t actually use the TV again until you unplug it and plug it back in. Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks. 

Hello, I have a problem with my Sonos Arc. After resetting it, I can't add it to the app. I've tried everything and nothing works. Could you please advise me on how to do this? 

This problem is new to me. When I either scan my NAS library for more music, or remove the library and reattach it, I get two or three albums which index incorrectly. Specifically:The album appears 3 times in the album list Each instance contains the SAME single track (not different tracks, as would be the case if there was an AlbumArtist tagging issue) The other tracks in the album aren't shown anywhere The album can be seen in full and played from the folder navigation No changes have been made to the folder structure or tagging on the original filesI've attached screenshots. The key point seems to be each instance contains the same single track, not different tracks as happens if the tagging on a compilation album is incorrect. This usually corrects itself if I go into the underlying file structure and move the MP3 files into a newly created folder (a tip I saw elsewhere in this forum). But when I rescan to get that change included in the music library, another album or two will go

I have a speaker group in 3 rooms. I use AirPlay to send audio to the AirPlay-compatible speaker in one room (bedroom), and then have the other two rooms (living room and office) in the same group.  For some reason this group does not stay in place. Every time I play music, I see that Sonos has undone the group and I have to configure it again.   Is there a trick to getting the group to stay configured as such? And keep it permanently?

I used my upgrade credit a while back for my play 5. Still have the device, am I able to give to someone else to use or can it only be put in the bin?  

As the title says. When using a wired (usb c - c  the one that came with the product) the rocker button on the headphones will only turn the volume down. I can turn the volume up and down with the phones (Pixel 10 pro) physical buttons and also when using Bluetooth. But can't raise volume when wired.  Anyone else? 

I have one speaker on one system. the other 2 are on another. I have one more speaker to connect and want all on one system I also had to change my wifi extender to one band instead of dual band. should I create a new wifi network for just the Sonos system?my goal is to make this all work seamlessly and have full use of the dual band extenders this is the message I get when I try to connect to the other 2 speakers  Moderator edit: Removed pictures with identifying information (serial numbers)

I am totally fed up. I have thousands of dollars invested in this product and now on Thanksgiving day the entire system has disappeared. I opened the app and I get an error message saying it can’t find any products on the network so does this mean I have to set the entire thing up again? Honestly, I hate this product. It has been nothing but inconsistent and unstable sometimes it works perfectly sometimes it doesn’t . really Sonos get your act together. This is no way to treat loyal customers. Your products are buggy and don’t consistently work. I’m looking to bail out of your system as soon as I possibly can thank you for ruining my Thanksgiving

HiI have a play bar a sub a bridge a play3 and 5 play1 in various rooms.My problem is that often usually when we have a party , the system plays up like 1 speaker will drop off then 2 then the whole system will drop off then it comes back on its own then when we think it’s safe to start dancing again it will drop. The whole system is over 10 years old so I can only use S1 and the bridge firmware will not update. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I paid £19.99 for the Sonos 2 speaker controller during my Sonos 2 setup.  It came from Apples AppStore. Was that a con?

OK, first I know I’m an idiot for my request, so please don’t abuse me! Also had a search through the forum, but nothing matching my exact case came up.  A couple of years ago I bought a pair of Sonos One SLs for our kitchen. I didn’t get the usual One (with voice commands) as I didn’t like the idea of a voice assistant listening in all the time and streaming ads/content based on overheard discussions. Mad maybe. I don’t know.  Move forward a couple of years and I really miss not being able to shout at Alexa to play some music. I bugger about on my phone trying to get music to play when we have guests. As I said, an idiot.  I would like to integrate (seamlessly!) Alexa into my system. Some ideas: buy a new Era 100 and pair it with an existing One SL. Use the other SL elsewhere in the house.    Add a third speaker to the setup (Era 100?) and have 3 speakers. How would this work with the stereo pair I have set up?Use some sort of Amazon device (echo dot?) to add the functionality. How se

Noticed that when using tv audio swap the Dolby Atmos music is compressed greatly. Will there be an update to maybe like; uncompress it I guess

I have the followingPro-Ject Phono Box S3 B (Black) Pro-Ject Maia S3 (Black)I would like to link up with my Sonos Ace headphones.however when I tried using the 6.5 to 3.5 adapter they did not workplease advice on a compatible adapter or a 6.5 to usb-c cable 

If I turn off the noise control modes, it's like all the bass gets cut out of any music I'm listening to, and it sounds much, much worse.Is this standard behaviour? I'm wondering why I'm forced to use a Noise Control mode to get decent sounding music, even in a quiet environment.

Hey guys,I have 4 Sonos amps for 4 zones of our house.One particular zone - Kids gaming room - has a TV, 2 ceiling speakers. TV is connected via HDMI extender then Cat 6 cable, then comes to Sonos amp (connected with ceiling speakers) in our media device storage.  This set up is working very well. However, I have bought a Sonos Arc which I was hoping to add onto the current set up. I have tried connecting Sonos Arc via Sonos HDMI-optical adaptor to TV, to add Sonos Arc to this set up. However, I can only get sound from Sonos Arc rather than the entire set up. How could I add Sonos arc onto my current set up please?Thanks in advance for your help. 

I have just brough some Kef Meta Q11 speakers to add to my lounge where only music and audio is played.  There is not TV in the room.  I already have the Martin Logan sub and wanted to get opinions on this set up and what I can do to maximize the sound quality.  Many thanks.

I recently added a Move 2 to my system. I also started using Apple Music. I have no problem starting to play music on the Move 2 using Apple Music: I start playing a song, then click the airplay button on the bottom. I see all of my Sonos speakers. I click the Move 2 button, and it starts playing. The problem is, after some random amount of time, it will stop playing on the speaker, and it seems to have disconnected. I have to go back and hit the airplay button again, and click Move 2 again to resume playing. This happens without fail after 10-20 minutes or so. I don’t seem to have this problem on my other Sonos speakers. I don’t THINK this happens when using Spotify, but I haven’t fully vetted that. I do not suspect a Wifi issue - my home has a professionally installed wifi system with full coverage throughout the home, extremely fast (1G service, generally get 600MBPS down in every room). Any suggestions? This is really frustrating. 

Want to make use of two of my old Sonos Play:1 to connect to a Fire Stick. What are my options? I cant really use HDMI as the Firestick is in my projector which is ceiling mounted. Could perhaps use a line in and run a long 3.5mm or use a bluetooth adapter. But going to need something to interface with the Play:1’s as they have no line in.

can arc ultra be mounted to TV using same mount as arc first generation

HiIn my living room, I would like to connect my Arc Ultra to my Sub.But this sub is already used by a pair of Five.I have read here and there that it is not possible to share 1 sub with two different configs.But how is it possible? As long as both configs are not playing different sources at the same time, why is it not possible?I guess I am not the only one facing with this issue.And, sorry, but I do not intend to install a second sub in the same room…Thanks for your replies/support/ideas
