My play bar from 2018 has been cutting out. I suspect it's overheating because the longer I unplug it, the longer it runs again after being plugged back in.Does anyone have any suggestions on causes or how to repair it?Another possibility, but I don't know if it has a temperature sensor somewhere, might be faulty temperature reading.

I have a BT UK router and I am thinking about getting one of their WiFi disks to help extend the WiFi upstairs, does this work OK with Sonos? Or are there issues?To be clear, I don’t want a possible mesh BT WiFI disk for Sonos, just for a TV upstairs that has poor WiFI connection sometimes. Most of my Sonos is on SonosNet and my portable speakers seem to do fine on the WiFi.If I got a BT Disk, could this upset Sonos?

Hi I have a brand new Sonia arc, I managed to set the arc up on the app, once I did the update it is won’t connect - I have tried to reset to factory settings but it won’t - it is showing a blinking white light. I am unable to remove the device from my app as well. Can someone help? 

I have an S1 network in my house and it’s been working fine for a very long time.  Most of the existing speakers can be upgraded to S2, but frankly I don’t want to go through the headaches of it if I don’t have to.  I recently purchased new speakers (Play1 and a Ray) and have tried to set them up on the S2 app, I go through the set up and then they don’t show up.  I have access to them through a third party app (SonoPhone) but not S2.  On the S2 app the Account, System and Services are all greyed out.  I’d really like to get them working.  I’m super frustrated and tired of wasting all this time going around in circles.  I’ve tried unplugging/plugging in, resetting my router, I have them plugged directly into my router.  If anyone could offer assistance that would be great.Thanks!

Hi,So recently I bought a new home cinema setup but it comes with only a HDMI input for a separate channel. I managed to connect the Sonos Port with a RCA converter to HDMI. Though when I pair my home cinema setup with my Play:1 in the kitchen i have a delay. Probably the delay is caused by the converter. Does anyone have a solution for this? Right now I have the 2x RCA converter to HDMI. Though I could not find one that converts the digital coaxial to HDMI.

Hi there,the Sonos Roam is supposed to indicate a low battery by flashing the orange LED. Mine does not do that. Even at 10% or less. It is new.Any ideas?Regards,Julian

Hello, I have a stereo pair of ERA 100s. While the system does not have any hiccups when I use the S2 app, sometimes I want to connect via bluetooth to play something like a video or audio files that I can’t do through the app.  I’ve noticed when using bluetooth, occasionally I get a brief cutout of audio from one of the paired speakers. I’m in the same room, I’ve tried connecting to the paired speakers via different bluetooth devices, but regardless, sound will briefly cut out every now and then.I’m not sure if this is a network issue or not, but using the S2 app does not have the same kind of issue.

Roam stops working, assistant says can’t connect to wifi, Roam not visible in Android app.In Windows desktop app Roam is visible and works normally, check for update and desktop app reports that an update is required, Roam is updated, after update Roam appears in Android app.This has happened on a number of occasions, I wonder why?

Alexa is live in Luxembourg and Sonos/Alexa works well in France. What is Sonos waiting for to activate Alexa in Luxembourg?

Sonos Radio and music library plays on Sonos One stereo pair but not youtube premium. In fact, youtube videos won’t even play when Airplay is connected. It’s not youtube music; youtube premium. Is there some reason for this? 

Hi guys,I wonder if it’s possible combine a Devialet Dione Soundbar with 2 Sonos ERA 300 in the front and a Sonos Sub 3Gen.

Hello, I’ve been suffering from unstable connection to my two Play:1 and beam. They keep disconnecting and suffering from high ping and packet loss while streaming music. This happened as well on another router that I had before, the only solution I found was connecting the sonos beam to ethernet and the play:1 to sonosNet. Now this solution is no longer possible so I’m looking for a fix. Troubleshooting I have found it is a problem with the sonos devices. If they are not connected the network functions as expected. Logs sent: 276719397Extra info: 3 different rooms set up, the problem aggravates when joining two or more rooms together. Other non-sonos devices don’t suffer from packet loss. The connection is strong, so it’s not physical interference either. Thanks,Kind regards

If I choose to register for the upgrade credit does anything at all change with the speakers that I register for the credit? do they still work (never bricked by the system) and still get updates, etc? it says my Sonos One and One SL’s are eligible but I don’t want to lose them from my system.

Hi,I have set up 3 different speakers (2 One SL and 1 Era 100) and would like to play Radio from Sonos app.I see that it doesnt play when I am not in the same Wifi my mobile and speakers.Is this the way ? Or is something else?

I don't know what happened, but suddenly I can barely hear the sound coming from my speakers. Until recently, I could perfectly hear the sound with my volume set around level 20. Now, I have to set the volume level set to 70+ to get the same quality. No, no hearing issues (past or present)...and it's not the "Loudness" nor "Night" options. Has this happened to anyone else?  Grim

I have an LG UK6090PUA TV connected to a Gen 2 Beam, along with a Gen 3 Sub and two One SLs for surrounds. The setup sounds great for movies and TV and also for music played through the Sonos app. Music played through the TV, however, sounds downright awful. Like really, really bad — totally unlistenable, which is a real shame because I have a great music video collection that I would love to have playing in the background when hosting company.I’ve downloaded a bunch of open-license music videos from the internet and extracted the audio for listening only, and I’ve got both the MOV video and MP3 audio versions in my media library. It’s the same exact audio stream for both the videos and the audio files (16-bit 44.1kHz stereo), and having the same audio stream in both formats provides a clear example of just how stark the contrast is.A song played through the Sonos app on my phone sounds great, with all speakers playing at appropriate volume levels and the stereo signal split appropriat

Hi. I‘m about to buy a Sonos Five and record player. I have a trusty Play3 that’s regularly used. Once I get the Five I’m not sure what to do with the Play3 other than use it in another room.Can the Play3 be used as part of the record player/Five system or is that pointless?ThanksAlan

Our arc volume has suddenly decided to slide up to max and it can only be held at a lower place by sliding it back on the phone screen and holding it there. Take your thumb off and it slides right back up. On the tv screen the + sign is jiggling up and down. Turning the system off then back on hasn’t helped. Adjusting by tapping the arc sound bar volume controls directly doesn’t hold it either.Has this happened to anyone else?

Dear all,I have a Sonos system composed by a Sonos One, an One SL and a Roam.Since a couple of weeks I’m not able to use the system anymore.I run the app from my smartphone (Samsung S21) and everything is fine, but after a couple of minutes the system disapper from the app and I cannot control it anymore.I’ve tried to reset all the Sonos device, but the issue remain.I’ve also tried with other smartphones, but the issue is still there. I gave to Sonos app all the needed authorisations.I’ve tried to play from the Sonos app installed in the PC (Windows 11) and it works fine.Please can you help me?It’s really a pity I cannot use the system during Christmas time… Thank you, Bye. 

I am being offered a credit to upgrade my 5-year-old Bridge to a Boost.  Are there any compelling reasons to do so? Does the Boost offer more features or better performance?

I paired 2 Sonos Era 300 with my Sonos Arc. The Arc now randomly and frequently turns my sound down from anywhere between 15 to 10. If I unplug the Era 300s, my volume works fine with Arc. Any suggestions?

It comes with 6 sonance speakers, 1 subwoofer and 1 sonos amp. I am looking to cover an area of around 5000 sqft so I am pretty sure the I can combine the two systems of 6.1 to create a 12.2 to play the same music.  my question is that can I use the the 12.2 system with only 1 amp, so then I will have 1 amp leftover to use in another area with different speakers. The sonance website mentions that the system can be upgraded to 16.2 with only 1 amp but I want to confirm.  https://www.sonance.com/assets/media/files/downloads/SGS_Data_Sheet_080704.pdf https://www.avinstalls.co.uk/sonance-garden-series-sgs-81-satsub-system-with-sr2125-amp-p-308

Hello, I was using two wifi networks (at home and in the office). In general they were configured the same way (even wifi name and password were the same). In each places I had my Sonos products configured (three speakers at home and one Play:1 in the office; all products are older ones and I use Sonos S1 to connect to them). Few months ago I closed the office, packed my Play:1 and left it aside in the basement. Today decided to power up that Play:1 at home - I’ve plugged it to the power, Sonos S1 app discovered the new product (which had been actually configured) and claimed it needs to be updated to the newest firmware. However, during the update I received the “Update problem” information; I was trying several times but with no luck. Then, I decided to reset the Play:1 (by unplugging from the power and pressing the play/pause button during the start). The led first started to blink orange, then green. So I started the configuration hoping to add this product to my network from the s
