I posted this over two years ago, and still the issue persists, surely I can’t be the only one affected by this? Original post: I always use Alexa to set the volume on my Sonos system (Beam, Sub and 2xOne SL) I usually ask her to confirm the volume once set, but now she is reporting it incorrectly. So if the volume was set to 1 initially and I ask Alexa to set volume to 3 then ask “Alexa, what is the volume for living room?” She will advise that volume is 1, even though it’s set to 3 as she is now louder.Steps I’ve taken to fix:Disable and enable the Sonos skill in the Amazon Alexa App. Removed the Alexa voice service in the Sonos app and added it again too and powered off the Sonos beam. All to no availHowever, what I did notice was Alexa would confirm the correct volume level after enabling the Sonos Skill in the Alexa App or removing and adding the Alexa voice service in the Sonos app, it was only when I asked Alexa to increase the volume and asked her to confirm the volume for Livi

I have a lounge of 350 sq ft (32 sq meter).  I have a TV with beam Gen 2 and sub mini.  Very happy with TV/movie sound performance.  I have also bought a Sonos Port and line-in switch to allow me to connect my turntable, CD player and cassette (yes cassette) player to the Beam for music. Obviously these are stereo not spatial audio inputs.The music sound is pretty good through the Beam and sub mini.  It has replaced a 5.1 100 watt per channel home theatre amp with 5 Kef egg speakers and sub.  I want good quality and sufficient volume for parties.  Thinking about options to add 2 Era 100 or 300 or maybe even 2 Fives. If I set them up as stereo speakers for music would they be more powerful than the Beam or could I use them in parallel with Beam?Appreciate these could also act as surrounds to the Beam but that’s not my priority.Can anyone suggest the best option?   

I am not able to complete setup of my Roam on my iPhone. When it says “Make sure light flashes green and white, then press the Play button”, I do press the button (duh) but nothing happens. I used to have it setup on this phone I believe, but now for some reason I cannot set it up again (WiFi change?).Anyway I tried:Reset app Reset Roam …By resetting the Roam, it would appear in auto setup, but I’m stuck at “press the button” step with no help.It’s an incredibly frustrating setup experience, with such a price tag, Sonos should do much better. I’ve spent more than one hour already, wth.My Roam is rendered USELESS. Incredible. For such price tag I may just stick to Apple products, no frustration whatsoever NEVER.Very clown product if you ask me. 

I have an older Beam and I would like to get surround sound out of my TV (Beam connected to TV via HDMI ARC).  Thinking of buying a couple of ERA 100s for rear speakers, but some of the stuff I read seem to indicate I’ll get a 75ms delay out of the ERA 100s.  Is this true?  What does the community recommend for this config?

Having troubles connecting epson projector with roku and sonos amp.

We just got a new wifi setup, with a new network name. I opened the app on my iPhone and followed the “let’s fix this” instructions per https://support.sonos.com/en-us/article/connect-sonos-to-a-new-router-or-wi-fi-network?language=en_US .. I picked one device to reconnect (a Sonos One), pressed the button per instructions, allowed my phone to connect to a “SONOS” wi-fi network, per instructions, and… Nothing. My phone says “can’t connect to network SONOS” or something to that effect.My Sonos setup is already messed up because of a PC reconfiguration, and now my speakers are utterly unusable.

I am having a hard time finding what everything in the app does and what each option does.  I see lots of people saying their ir repeaters aren’t working.  How do I know mine are.  Is it just for the volume adjust   Do I need all the options for IR turned on. The ir light repeater   Where do I find a description of everything available in the app and if it needs to be on or what each does.   Even called support and well chatted and they told me go to support online and that’s it.  Guess I was asking too many questions for him. So he just gave me the link for support which is where I started the chat from.  So please any info on the IR would be helpful. Thanks

Access denied to Synolog NAS server – can’t play files in one room other rooms are fine? I am a long time user of Sonos. I have 4 zones that all uses S1. I do have a Roam also (S2) but hardly ever uses it at my home. My zones are:  Office: two Play 5: gen1Livingroom: Soundbar, Sub and two Play:3Room 3: Play:1Room 4: Play:1 I do have a booster as well.  Out of the I can no longer play my music files from my Synology NAS – BUT only in my office…. I can play my files in the livingroom, room 3 and 4 – but NOT in my office. I have tried from my MacBookPro App and from my iPhone app – but it will not play the files. Radio and streaming services are doing fine. I can perfectly see my files/folders in the app – but access for playing is denied in my office. If I combine livingroom with office I can play the files in the office – but I can not start music from files in the office. On my NAS I have 5 different main folders with files and it is all the same. Will not play in office but other zone

I have just bought nice tall and deep bedside tables for the lamps (the lamps sound much better on these rigid wooden cabinets than the previous flimsy metal ones). I am considering permanently fixing them to the tables, so there is no chance to accidentally knock them off. I just wondered it there was an optimal distance to place them from the wall. I appreciate the sound is modified / enhanced by setting them up with truetone, but if I position them correctly in the first place, sound should be even better. Thanks

Hi there, Planning on a large kitchen to patio area, with 4x in ceiling in the kitchen, and 2x outdoor speakers on the patio. All driven from a single amp. I know you can have 3 pairs of architectural speakers, and that I will probably lose truplay tuning, but is this going to work as a configuration? I can’t find the answer anywhere.

Hello everybody. I've a Sonos amp and would like to know if the zp 80 would work with it and what would be the flows?Thanks in advance for your help 

I currently have a pioneer amp with a sonos connect. Does sonos offer a new product instead of the connect, that i could pair a gen3 sub with while still using my pioneer amp?

Multiple Spotify playing no longer possible?I cannot play different Spotify songs in different rooms. Seems new.  i.e. be playing one song in the kitchen and a different song in the living room. Now what happens, I have one song playing in one room and if I start playing a song in another room, the first room stops playing. Sonos playing a Spotify song also stops if I listen to music using the iOS Spotify app, annoying for when I’m out of home, those at home the music stops playing on my Sonos. This was always the case when listening to the Spotify app on multiple devices like an iPhone and a desktop computer, however Spotify on Sonos you could always play multiple streams at once. Issue also happens when using Sonos app to play, not using Spotify connect with their own app. Highly frustrating. Anyone else?

Evert time try to get to my Sirius XM in the sonos app it says “Sorry something went wrong. Please try again. I have to reauthorize my XM account with username and password. I can then access all channels. The next time I again try to access all channels I get the same message and have to reauthorize the account. This is also happening on my wife’s sonos app as well. Is this a Sonos App issue?

Good day everyone. My in-laws are having a strange problem that I can’t seem to figure out. They own a Sonos Beam that had been connected to a Samsung TV for a few years. One day, it just stopped playing TV sound and when you ask Alexa to play music, she responds and says now playing(whatever you asked for) but the music never actually plays. I’ve updated the Beam and the Tv as well as doing a factory reset on the Beam. Today, I moved it to a different room with a different tv, same issue. I’ve been using Sonos products for years and this one has me stumped. I’m open to any suggestions. 

My username is Numpty, because I am a 70 year old numpty. I have a Sonos system with sound bar, two speakers and a sub woofer.  I bought the system about six years ago and think its a a 5.2 with a beam bar - my sons sorted it out. I’m with Sky who are now trying to persuade me to buy their glass system - the whole works. I dont think Sky (expensive)  has a compatible Glass system with Sonos. Suggestions please for something that works with Sonos and wont cost me an arm and a leg. Please remember I am a numpty and technical jargon will fly over my head faster than an F16.

Due to the problems with S2 app I downgraded to S1 and the system works well. The issue is a irritating upgrade notification shows on the top. Anyone help me to remove it. I really hate S2 app. 

Sonos TuneIn: How to remove a radio station from 'My radio stations'?

My tv remote is adjusting the Arc volume just fine. Arc "Set Up  TV Remote" Step thus fails because sonos can't tell the remote is working. Sonos states it didn't notice a signal from the remote. This even though the light on the arc is winking as I select volume up. What gives? How do I complete this set up? Do I need to complete this srt up?

I am running a Buffalo NAS (fixed IP) on a Mac network. When I try to connect the music library to the NAS I get “Check user name and password” which it doesn’t have if SMB is ON on the router, or Access Denied if SMB is off.

Hola,Cuando tendréis disponibilidad de cable corto para era 100, los tengo instalados cerca de los enchufes y me sobra mucho cable.Gracias

I cannot connect Sonos app to Spotify or connect from Spotify app to Sonos. I get an error unable to add account every single time. I have had zero issues for years and now I’m stuck with this. I have tried every single suggested fix multiple times. So incredibly frustrating. They say this was a known issue that was resolved 22 days ago, but clearly it is not. Does anyone know the solve to this?
