Hello. I have a Sonos one in my bedroom. Have used it as an alarm clock, but it is now unstable and comes on 3 out of 7 days. Has anyone experienced this and what can I do to prevent it from happening again

Hi all,I am new with Sonos and just purchased Sonos Beam Gen 2. After using, I am realizing that I am missing the Sub-woofer sound from the same.Can someone suggest me the ways to add Sub-woofer to Sonos Beam Gen 2?thx,Nitin M

Yeah this skipping issue is so finite that it is reproduced like a charm and throws everything to crap. Context: We have a yoga studio and on the studio side we have 6 Play 3’s and Sub Gen 3 and a Boost, in the lobby we have 2 Symfonisk bookshelf speakers. All teachers in the studio use Spotify. The Boost is hardwired to the router and everything else is wireless. The router is a Netgear Nighthawk running speeds I can never fathom to use and wireless connection throughout the studio is insane. I placed the Boost 6ft away from the router and both 6ft away from the Xfinity Modem. We removed our Sonos Connect, plus a Battery backup unit, all to reduce interference. We have over 16 people connected to our Sonos system, something that Sonos wasn’t prepared for apparently, most use cases never exceed 10 users, but we did. However only 1 person is connected at a time, that is it. In addition to the Teacher playing from their phone as a controller, we have an iPad that has Sonos and is connect

Hi all. Up until recently I was able to listen to a French/Canadian radio station called Funk & Co. I could do this via the Tunein music service.However this is no longer possible. I believe it maybe because the TuneIn service has now completely updated and the station has disappeared from TuneIn.On my mobile I can still stream via OnLineRadioBox.The radio station have told me directly that they are availale to stream from here:  https://cast1.torontocast.com:1440/streamCan anyone tell me if it is possible to get access on my Sonos system to the radio station in any way.Many thanks, Alan ( in the UK)

Just had to purchase a new tv.  We bought a Sony Bravia VU31 model KD-55X77L came home set it up and the remote will not work to adjust volume.  Called Sonos customer support and was told “you can upgrade “ seriously this is an expensive system.  So the new tv has HDMI EARC and the digital audio plug.  I purchased the adapter from Sonos and got a new HDMI ARC cord… nothing. Customer service says the remote will not work because it’s Bluetooth.  Sonos also did an update and now the only way to adjust volume is with the slide bar in the Sonos app.  Anyone else having this issue looking for some help please. 

Getting message. Unable to connect to device. Try again later. When i try to change a speaker group. This is the message. On SO2 app for android.

Does anyone have thoughts about which of these combinations to choose? For music/audio, not TV.Price is roughly the same, within £50.

After successful installation of the latest update my SONOS system has become unusable!  When it does actually connect to a music service or even to my local music library, it constantly stops play only to resume a few seconds or even minutes later.  What is going on everything was working fine before this latest update!!!

I have 2 Sonos Roams with charging docs. I used them a lot over the last 2 years but they have been in the cupboard for about 6 months as I went for a smaller setup and didn’t use them that much anymore.I since got them out and now can’t get them to charge or turn on. The red LED does not come on when I plug them in. They are both completely dead. What are my options here?

The HDMI ARC port on my Panasonic TV seems to have died so, after a conversation with Sonos tech help, I have to connect my Beam to the TV via the optical port using the supplied adaptor.My problem is that whenever I turn on the TV it doesn't seem to remember to use the Beam (plus two Ones and a mini sub) but tries to use the TV's speakers. I have to resort to unplugging and reconnecting the optical adaptor to get it to connect and work.Is there a way of setting up the TV and/or Beam in order to ensure that the system works when switching on the TV?

I understand Apple Music sends AAC 256kbps to my Era 300’s when using AirPlay2 (despite Airplay2 supporting lossless). My question is, does Amazon send Ultra HD to my Era 300’s when using AirPlay2?  If yes, as established elsewhere on the forums, presumably my Era 300’s would downsample and playback at 16 bit 44.1? I prefer Amazon’s app interface and search, so trying to work out if there are any audio penalties to using Amazon’s app plus AirPlay2 vs Sonos S2 app. 

So I recently added two Era 300s to my ARC for surrounds, which sound great.  When I turn my TV off after about 5 minutes it reverts the room to Music.  If I try to change it back to TV it tells me that there was a problem and it couldn’t detect a signal from HDMI to the Arc.  Once I turn back on the TV it either starts to work again or I have to use the app to repair.Setup:Sony 90J TVArc via E-Arc portSonos Ge3 sub2 Era 300 set to Surround External Devices:Xbox Series XPS5SwitchSteam Deck via a Dock Any help would be appreciated.

I have a home Sonos system with 4 components..3 speakers and a bridge.2 of the speakers ( not Roam nor Move) turned on by themselves today with no app open on PC or mobile. I then couldn't switch them off by opening app and clicking stop...I had to manually stop them. I have it all on video!! ??????? Huh????

My wife decided to return our Sonos system. Too much money to spend on the whole system. Problem is I’ve unplugged and boxed up the components to return them. I did not think to remove them from my system in the app. Do I have to plug them back in and remove them or can I have them removed by Sonos? Or just let the next person who buys them set them up and they will drop from my account?

Hi there,When I try to add a new music service to my system, I get an error that states:”You have reached the maximum number of music service accounts that can be added to your Sonos system. Please remove an existing account before adding a new one.”Does anyone know what this limit is? Has it changed at some point? I couldn’t find any info in the forum or support site that specifically called out the limit or error message.Interestingly, I have deleted a couple of services but I still get this error, so at some point in time I was able to have more music service accounts than I have now (30 accounts over 26 music services, plus one voice service (Sonos)).Thanks. 

(Moved from Ask a Question)We just bought a house and I'm already planning on how to set-up everything (we won't be moving in until end of Sept).The living room is non-symmetrical and also has a sloping/varying ceiling height, with roughly 4m ceiling height at the area where the surround speakers would be positioned. Our setup in current apartment is: ARC, Sub + 2 Sonos One's as rears.My question is, is there a benefit to upgrade to Era 300's? My understanding is that Era 300's wouldn't perhaps work due to the layout (ceiling particularly) and a lack of wall to the right surround speaker.Please educate me on what would be the best option :DAttached a picture of the living room (previous owners furniture etc.) and floor plan with intended speaker position. TV would be placed in the same spot as in the picture, with sofa little bit closer to the TV. Current thinking is to either have the rear speakers wall mounted to the back wall, or with stands closer to the sofa. 

does sonos sub generation 1 work with sonos 5  generation 3 speakers

Got Connect 1 hard wired to router and Denon receiver. Worked great for years when I was getting 2mb download speed. Changed to fttp a year ago and now getting 400mb to the router. Last couple of weeks music will start and cut out. Then get sound sporadically. Checked all cables and rebooted everything a few times. Still the same. Hopefully someone has a fix. Thanks folks.

Newb here & couldn’t find the answer to my question: If I have an Amp & use wired speakers for L/R fronts, would I also be able to connect 2 One SL’s (wrong model in title) to use as L/R rear surrounds? I would use the 2 wired fronts for my turntable & then all 4 for TV.Can I do that with a single Amp?Thanks!

Hi allI was having a beam gen 1 plus two Ikea symfonisk plus sub gen 3 set up. However due to my living area restrictions. I can't seem to find a good place to put the surrounds. So I decided to just change the beam gen 1 and the symfonisks to Arc. However my tv is placed in this cavity area. I did some measurements there's about two feet from the edge of arc to the wall on both sides . And from the counter top to the ceiling of the cavity is roughly 68 inches. I haven't had a chance to try it or test out certain configurations. But I am wondering would this placement have any negative impacts on the Atmos effect ? I heard placing it as far as possible to the edge of the counter top but that really looks kinda ugly... 

I listen to podcasts on my Sonos all the time, using Pocketcasts. The vast majority of the podcasts work fine, but for whatever reason I cannot get Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast or Sarah Silverman's podcast to play on my Sonos system. I can play them on Pocketcasts on my phone, it's only when I use the Sonos app to play them that they don't work. Sonos is going to blame Pocketcasts, Pocketcasts is going to blame Sonos. How do I listen to these two podcasts like I can the other 20 I subscribe to?

Hi Community!I currently have an integrated amp with multiple inputs (turntable, CD player, AM/FM tuner) and multiple passive speaker outputs grouped by room (kitchen, patio, living room, etc.) The speakers are connected to a switcher for each set (room) and connected to the integrated amp via two L/R speaker connections.I am wondering if the switcher could connect to Amp via the two L/R speaker connections (thinking yes). However, I do not know how to solve the component input question. Would I need a preamp?The goal is to take my existing analog/passive system, integrate it with SONOS speakers, and control everything through the SONOS app. However, the speaker switcher would probably be recognized as one channel, right? Would I need an app for each room, then? Thank you!

We have a Beam Gen 2 and 2019 Samsung Q70 tv that are connected via the arc cable. The sound works great, but the issue comes when changing the source of audio. When we turn on the TV it auto connects to HDMI receiver for sound (which is the Sonos connected via arc), but if you select any other audio source (TV speakers/optical/bluetooth) it will switch to that source for a couple seconds and then switch back to HDMI receiver. One of us will often use the TV with headphones on, but the only way to use the bluetooth connection is to manually unplug the ARC cable from the TV or Sonos.  Is there a setting(s) that I need to change on the TV and/or Sonos to enable us to leave the ARC cable plugged in and allow us to change the sound source without immediately defaulting back to the HDMI receiver (Sonos)? One solution I keep seeing is disabling the Anynet+ option, but this means each time we have to go into the settings and enable/disable. If this is the only solution then we can do that, bu

I have an external audio input to the TV through AUX, and the TV is connected to Sonos ARC through HDMI, so can the sound of the external audio be played from Sonos ARC?

I have a paired Sonos one setup and the problem is as follows: sound source: a Mac connected via Airplay on the same wifi + Sonos app installed  on the mac (if it matters)Explainer: Sonos plays a video (sound) perfectly. I select a new video, the video starts but Sonos does not play the sound anymore. To solve the problem I have to change output device on the mac to something else, then select the Sonos again and it starts to play perfectly.  This also happens if I switch applications when e.g. a youtube video ends, I use an other app, i revisit youtube in the browser and i have to do the “switch output device” again.  I tried with different browsers already. It has been happening since I have Curious if it happens with others or what is going on.
