Subscribed to Sonos Radio HD. the music quality and mix of music is good, the one thing letting it down is the constant station idents - “90 Mixtape on Sonos” being played. Why do I want that when im paying for a music service…. Really ruins the experience and caused me to instantly cancel. Assumed that on the free one you might get that but on one that is almost on par with the cost of Spotify/Apple Music and limited to the Sonos speakers (cant listen in the car, headphones etc...) and still just constantly being told what the playlist I selected is is just annoying. Sonos - Give the premium experience and dont ruin the atmosphere with station idents. Why would I want to use a Dinner Party Playlist for a dinner party when every few songs me and my guests are reminded we are listening to a Sonos Playlist…. 

I am running the S2 App on my iMac, i can play Sonos radio/Tunelm from my computer so I know the system is working.However when i try to add my music folder, so i can play my own music, I get to the administrator login and it keeps saying password or username is incorrect (I have checked that my credentials are correct by shutting down and restarting) I have followed every step I have found online regarding file permissions and firewalls, but I am still no further forward, the system has worked in the past, but its been so long I can’t remember when it last worked.

I see there are multiple threads on this but from 8 months ago.i recently bought my mother a Move 2 and set her up with Sonos voice so she doesn’t have to reach for her phone or iPod to start music.She doesn’t want Alexa or anything cloud based so the Sonos voice processing on the device etc made it an easier sell.. great I thought.She is in her 70’s and so wants to listen to bbc radio 4 most of the time but the ruddy thing started playing some random artist when I asked for radio 4, when I asked for bbc radio 4 it told me it couldn’t.I have read the replies on here and now understand it doesn’t work. 1 such comment was interpreted as a feature request, another was stating it was a bbc sounds incompatibility… given I have added bbc sounds to the Sonos app, so sonos know she has a valid account and the app can merrily play the bbc radio selections with no issue… I don’t understand why this isn’t a thing. Even if I had to add an extra prompt like “play bbc radio 4 from bbc sounds” or sim

Does anyone know how to connect the beam gen 2 andini sub to the Hisense tv hi concerto feature so all the tv speakers and Sonos can work together.

 I can't seem to get the S5 to be recognized by my Sonos system.  My setup: Playbar, Sub, One, One SL.  Controller OS: S2.I would like to add my zoneplayer S5 to this system.  Is it possible?  It used to work when I was using OS: S1.  I can no longer install the OS: S1 controller while OS: S2 is installed.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

I am getting Cannot be played - Encoding error on Apple Music Live Streams (Apple Music 1, Apple Music Hits/Club/Chill/Country). It's not an error with the service (works in anything non-sonos such as iPhone, Mac and HomePod. It's not bandwidth or these wouldn’t play. Only these stations are causing problems. Bug? Anyone at Sonos looking at it? Previous post mentioned an error on stream (if that was the case it wouldnt play on other devices surely?) or bandwidth, but I have a 1gbps connection, no other issues with any stream, atmos and lossless included, only these stations. 

This turntable is new but the rotation speeds (33 & 45) are not correct and the music/songs are really bad… What to do as there is no possibility of adjustment except changing the belt ?

Hi the speech button is not responding on my Sonos one,  when pressing nothing happens, but it’s saying its connected,  and my other units are working fine,   Is it a fault with the device,  any ideas or suggestions appreciated 

I just got a Sonos Era 100 and successfully configured it to work on my network. Sometimes when I go into the app on my iPhone 13, however, it says it cannot find a Sonos product on my network. Sometimes if I leave the app alone for half a minute or so it will find find the speaker, but other times it just never finds it. I do have a couple of WiFi access points in my network, with different SSIDs than my main router, and I have the Sonos configured to use one of them in addition to the main router, but this problem occurs even when both the speaker and my iPhone are connected to the main router. Edit:I’m wondering if the app is trying to use too much information. For some reason it’s accessing the location, which makes no sense whatsoever, as the speaker certainly doesn’t know where it is. It just knows which local area network it’s on. Moderator Note - Combined multiple posts

I have 2 Era 100 speakers setup as a stereo pair connected via WiFi. I’ve installed the Sonos skill on Alexa and gone through the setup process in the app. Everything works, but there seems to be a bug compared to an Amazon Echo device.  When I ask “Alexa, play the latest episode of NPR Up First”, the Alexa response is “You laying the latest episode of NPR Up First from Amazon Music” followed by the rather lengthy episode title; the episode is also laying at low volume in the background while Alexa reads the title. When she’s done with the title, either 1) the volume comes to normal, episode continues playing, but I’ve missed the start or 2) the episode stops being playing and I get silence or 3) the episode stutters then re-starts and plays.  I use this example because it’s most audible due to the long episode titles, but the same happens when I play music from Spotify; Alexa is reading the title while the song is already playing.  in contrast, on an Amazon Echo device, or the Alexa a

I'm experiencing a critical issue with the SmartThings integration on my Sonos Roam Gen 1 that appears to have been caused by a recent Sonos update.Issue Description:For months, I've been using a SmartThings automation to play white noise on my Roam Gen 1 using the 'play favorite item' action (typing the exact Sonos Playlist). This worked flawlessly until a recent Sonos update. Now, when the SmartThings automation triggers, no audio plays on the Roam. The integration appears to be completely broken.Troubleshooting Done:- Contacted Samsung SmartThings support- Samsung confirmed no changes were made on their end- Samsung advised me to reach out to Sonos as the issue appears to be on the Sonos side- The problem started immediately after a recent Sonos software updateDevice Information:- Device: Sonos Roam Gen 1- Integration: Samsung SmartThings- Use Case: Automated white noise playback triggered by SmartThings automation- Issue: 'Play specific item' action no longer functions after recent

I have a system that has two ports; each controls a different area. Currently, neither port has a hard (i.e., RCA) input as it plays only via Spotify. Is there a way to bridge the two ports if I hook up an audio device (e.g., turntable or wireless audio receiver) to the RCA inputs of one port? I want to hook up the audio device but still have the signal play through both ports so it can be heard in both areas. Thank you in advance for any insights and help. 

I have 2 ERA 100 speakers, one in the master bedroom and one in the master bath. The WiFi is an original eero Pro configuration in bridge mode, with DNS/DHCP provided by a Linux server. The ERA 100s have been working great in this configuration for 2 years. Recently, however, the one in the master bath is no longer on WiFi, nor was it visible in the Sonos app.After resetting the device a couple of times I powered down ALL Sonos speakers (6 Shadow SLs, an Arc and a Playbar among them) and powered off ALL the eero Pro devices. I then brought the eero network back up and then re-powered all the Sonos devices, doing the ERA 100s last.ALL the speakers came back online problem-free EXCEPT the ERA 100s. I just went through the reset procedure on the master bedroom ERA 100 and the behavior is the same: The speaker comes online, I can see it get an IP address from my DHCP server. However, within a minute it drops off the network, never to be seen again.So, both of my ERA 100s are offline and lo

Last month I updated from an old Playbase to a new Arc Ultra. In my area we have unexpectedly had three power outages in the last month. After each outage when the power is restored the Arc Ultra has a blinking green or white light, and I have had to reset the bar from the factory settings all over again - three times. I have the power cord plugged into a surge suppressor. Is this normal behavior? There is no settings memory on this product?

I can’t finish the setup on my new era 100. It seemed to connect to my WiFi ok or it has found it on my WiFi easy enough but this has come up each time I’ve tried

My Move 2 speaker seems to have weaker output from one of the channels. Has anyone else experienced this ? It has just started happening recently. 

I set up a small system for my living room that I intend to grow. I loved it so much that bought a second system, this time with the arc ultra with the intention of passing the Beam set-up to my husband for his TV room upstairs. This is what I have:Living Room -1 Arc Ultra -2 Era 100s-1 Mini SubLG C5 TVUpstairs TV Room-1 Beam 2 -2 Era 100s-1 Mini SubLG C4My router is in the living room And it’s the standard router supplied by my cable company and everything is wireless.The controller is on my phone and that’s where I’d like to keep it. The sound bar was originally intended Improve voice clarity for my husband so I could keep buying him at a tolerable range for me when we watch TV together. and also like the option for us to be able to watch TV separately. My first challenge is that audio from his system was playing downstairs in the living room. That tells me something’s wrong and before I bang my head against the wall I wanted to ask for help. I also read that there’s an issue between

I downloaded the Sonos app on my desktop Windows 11 PC, and successfully added a music folder, which is on a secondary internal hard disk of the computer. Windows sees the disk as D:I then noticed that the Sonos app was offering an update, and I installed it.After that, the shared folders on both my Windows PCs were showing as inaccessable. I removed the shared folder on my desktop, and then I was unable to re-add it. I tried various ways, and got various errors. Sometimes it would re-add, but then it became inaccessable during the indexing process.What to do?

Hinewbie here I have a gen 2 connected to my TV can I add my era 300 to it, struggling to do it. Thanks Gary

Hiya, can anyone advise how to connect Sonos ARC ultra to a projector that only has HDMI to get the most out of the soundbar, I currently have a PlayBase and Mini Sub connected to said projector.Looking online apparently something called a matrix splitter is recommended but it’s as clear as mud, I’ll be wanting to connect a SKY Q 2TB box to hopefully get the full Dolby Atmos experience.  Many thanks in advance

Over 10 years, we had a Sonos system set up in our kitchen.  We have 4 in-ceiling speakers, which were wired to a SS20 2 Way parallel speaker Switch system, which was connected to the Sonos Connect Amp 1st generation, which was connected to a computer.  Does anyone whether I should connect a Sonos Amp or Port to the Switch system, so we can access music through the phone?   Probably a very basic system, but any knowledgeable guidance would be appreciated.
