Many of my friends and I have noticed that as of now (updated Sonos app and firmware), Relisten will NOT automatically advance tracks when used as a streaming service within the Sonos App.  This is quite cumbersome for listing to concerts.  Please advise.  

Hi,I have a Sonos Arc which I already had voice assistant setup with Amazon Alexa. I received an email from Amazon, “Reconnect Alexa on your Sonos speaker.” I followed the directions from the email which I provided below to reconnect Amazon Alex to my Sonos Arc but it has been unsuccessful and I have been having issues.I followed the below directions but the first issue that I am having is in the Sonos App after I removed “Amazon Alex” in the “Voice Assistant” and tried to re-add it I get a new window that pops up, “Control Sonos with Amazon Alexa.” I followed the directions in the article, “Set up Amazon Alexa with a voice-enabled Sonos speaker.” But the problem is that after I click on Voice Assistants and then choose Amazon Alexa. It does not give me an option to choose my Sonos Arc and instead a quick help box shows up, “Control Sonos with Amazon Alexa.” I have provided a screenshot for reference.I tried searching online and the Sonos community on how to troubleshoot this but I hav

I got a new router. I’ve managed to set up my newer products (beam, sub etc) using the Sonos app and WiFi. However I just can’t get the play 5 gen 1 to connect. I’ve followed everything on the S1 app. Connecting over WiFi it stalls after “join Sonos network”. connecting with Ethernet cable it stalls on “hear the chime”. The play 5 chimes but the app doesn’t recognise it. it was working fine on my previous virgin wifi, but just can’t get it going on new Vodafone power hub. The hub output seems to be 2.4hz. please can anyone help? 

Can someone with Sonos explain to me why I cannot play more than 3 speakers at once without my music jumping from speaker to speaker. This is constant, and never ending. I’ve spent tons of money over the years to outfit my home with 10 speakers, including a Sonos Move. They have NEVER, EVER, worked properly. I have asked for advise on more than one occasion and have gotten nothing but “it’s my wi-fi”. I have reset all my speakers more than once; I have unplugged each one and readded them, and just two days ago I deleted my entire system and created a whole new account and added each speaker back. None of this has worked. Not only does the music jump from speaker to speaker, but no song finishes to the end before the next song kicks in. Though I am completely done with this trash company, I am stuck with what I have and would like it to work correctly. It would be nice to know if anyone else is experiencing these issues.

I just bought the arc ultra and connected it to my LG oledG3836LA tv with an ultra high speed hdmi true eARC, digital sound on passthrough why is it as soon as i use my iPad and use an app and pass it through to my tv there is no sound also when i use an app on my tv (plex) the sound works but not if i try to start a danish serie ( i think the sound stream is stereo no sound at all then when I switch back from passthrough to pcm the sound returns.

Hi,I can connect with Radio France services such as France Inter or Franceinfo, but it doesn’t work with France Musique and FIP.Please can you help ? 

I am thinking about buying Ace but as I understand it the home theatre must be on wifi?  I have my soundbar hardwired with ethernet, so does that mean Ace won’t work for listening to TV through Sonos Ace?

I have an ARC and Sub 3 in my living room.  My wife and I purchased it to maximize vocal clarity for TV and movie viewing.  Plus, I purchased it to enhance action movie viewing.  If I purchased 2 ERA 100s and used as back surround speakers, will these speakers improve or retard vocal clarity?  I can’t afford the expense of ERA 300s at this point.

Following up on this thread - ​@Corry P - Any update here?My kids don’t have phones / the sonos app, but they want to listen to their own music in their own rooms. Considering getting them each an era 100 for their rooms so they listen using voice control.I like that SVC processes voices locallyI dont want to set up Alexa or google voice.reviewing that thread above I see there’s limitations using SVC streaming different songs to different speakers using spotify, wondering if that’s been solved? Might it behave differently with Apple music?Has this limitation of SVC been addressed?   

I have a new Samsung TV that does not have an optical out but does have an HDMI earc. How do I connect the audio?

Hello,I have a Panasonic tv with Arc hdmi but not eARC one and I mainly use the Amazon Firestick 4k plugged into my tv to see movies. Is there any way to enjoy the sound quality of Dolby atmos movies with my Sonos arc ultra with this configuration ?  Best,Xavkyo

New Arc Ultra owner here. Is the Upgrade / Trade Up program still a thing? I can’t find anything in my account on it. I’m in Canada.

I have a stereo pair of legacy Sonos One SL’s in a room called “Computer Room”. I cannot use Sonos voice control to control those speakers from other rooms in my house that have voice control enabled Sonos speakers and soundbars. I've tried changing the room name but still no luck. I have no trouble controlling the other rooms remotely. This should work. I am running with the latest firmware update on all speakers 92.0-71170. Any ideas?

Hi everyone,for the past couple of months I’ve been experiencing a strange issue with my Sonos One with Alexa built in. It looks like Alexa has automatically enabled Follow-Up Mode (the mode where, after a command, it chimes again and keeps listening without saying the wake word).The problem is that there is no option to enable or disable Follow-Up Mode on the Sonos One, and I never turned it on.This is what happens:after giving any command, Alexa plays the chime again and stays in listening mode, as if waiting for a second command.I’ve tried everything:• Factory reset of the Sonos One• Resetting the Alexa app• Removing and re-adding the device• Various reboots, network resets, etc.Nothing worked.Has anyone experienced this or knows how to fix it?It’s getting really annoying because it keeps listening after every command.Thanks!

The app is on Iphone. Pretty sure it never used to do this.

… and yes I have reinstalled the whole system and yes it’s all on one wi-fi network.  It’s better than it was a year ago, but it still poops the bed regularly.  Is it going to get any better, or is this Sonos now?

If I change the audio and playback settings in the Android tidal app does that also change the bitrate of Sonos playback when using Tidal connect? My understanding is that it doesn't and that Sonos will use the highest bitrate file available for the Tidal subscription being used; but as for some bizarre and unhelpful reason Sonos S1 (does S2 still do this?) keeps the bitrate of a playing track a secret, it's hard to know for sure? Anyone know the answer to this?

No one seems able to help me with this on a Sunday, but I’m trying to migrate all my Sonos speakers from one WiFi network to another.   I’ve been on the Chat with several agents for hours.   Evert time starting the whole sorry tale over- Chat Bot to real person.  One agent told me to unplug the router.   Great! So the chat disconnects and start and I over yet again.   I live with both dyslexia and dyscalculia, but no alliance is made for this.   We are changing our broadband provider from Sky (due to cost and poor speeds) to Pkusnet (will be full fibre etc).  To take advantage of the speeds from day one, I have purchased a TO Deco mesh system (3 units)  I have the first plugged by Ethernet into the Sky (for now) router.    The new WiFi network works perfectly.   All WiFi tech is able to join (desktops, iPads, android and Apple phones etc).  Now comes the problem.  In the Sonos app I was able to get the Beam to join the new network and a SL in a different room.   However, very long stor

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

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?
