I’m an Android user and I’m considering switching to Apple Music from Spotify but one of the biggest things stopping me is that within the Spotify app, I can bring up the devices list and play to any of the Sonos speakers in my house. Is there a way to do this with Apple Music or do I have to use the Sonos app?

Hey guys, As you are probably aware, Sonos has recently introduced the spatial audio feature. However, I have noticed that this works when playing music from Apple Music through the Sonos app because when I try to listen to music directly from Apple Music, I just lose this option.I am curious to know if this is a technical error that needs to be fixed or if this is how the feature is intended to work.Thanks!

I have a few suggestions regarding search function in the app, and the search engine itself.  Using S2 on current ios devices or windows desktop app, sonos software up to date.current search in music library is “literal” and only works on exact text matches.  Some of my albums/tracks show “piano concerto” and some show “concerto for piano”, and if I input “piano concerto”  only tracks with that in the track text appear.  In itunes, and most other music apps, if I search for “piano concerto”, both show up. when I use the sonos app to search spotify, I can use “piano concerto”, “concerto for piano” or “concerto piano” spotify shows the same results, apparently doing an implict “and”, not simply a literal match. possible addition of boolean search so “and” and “or” can be used, or perhaps , or + operators there is no search from the edit playlist page in the app, where I would most like to perform a search. there doesn’t appear to be a way to search for a combination of artist and track. 

Hello Sonos Community, At the moment I’m using a Sonos Ones Pair in my office. With the new Sonos Era 100 it should be possible to connect a pair of these beauties to my Computer. Even better would be if i could also connect my record player. So that i could switch the Input from Computer (connected to 1 Era 100) or the Record Player (connected to the other Era 100 Pair) I’m pretty sure this does not work but maybe you can proove me better and i will directly buy them !! :-)Thanks for your help

Does the Sonos MacOS app (currently in 15.2) support atmos?(Using a macbook Air M1) 

I am using a DELL u2720qm as a monitor and this monitor has only 3.5mm audio output.How to connect the 3.5mm audio output jack to the sonos beam gen2?

All of a sudden The Highway on SiriusXM will not play on my Sonos. I received the note unable to play the selected item. I am able to play other stations now. There for a couple of days I couldn’t even play anything on SiriusXM. I have the older version of Sonos. I did delete the app on my phone and on my iPad to see if this would fix the problem. Still can’t play the highway, but I am able to play some other channels that I like to listen to. What can I do to fix this. The Highway is my favorite channel!

Hi there,We have a room with two Sonos amps, one for front pair of ceiling speakers and one amp for rear ceiling speakers and a Sonos Sub configured for 4.1 surround sound, all with wired ethernetIs there a Sonos product availlable (preferably with wired ethernet port) that could drop into this system to act as centre speaker to enable 5.1 surround sound? 

I set alarm to play sirius xm channel. It has worked for a while, no problem. Then in last 3 days it has stopped working and all I get is the Sonos chime. What is up ?I tried unplugging and plugging sonos back in. It didn’t work

app not showing dolby atmos

I noticed that my pair of era 100 have a solid green light turn on when set as stereo pair. How can I turn off the green light? The green light is not there when the pair is used as surround. Tried turning off the status light button in the app but the green light is still on

hello all, Im excited to receive my first Sonos system in a few days, comprising of  Sonos arc, sub mini and 2 rear 100’s. I’m looking for opinions on best location to put the rears, i will predominantly be watching films but i do listen to quite a bit of music so i’m wondering if spacing them out wider would be better? Ive attached a photo for reference, would the blue option be better than the red band the speakers would be more spaced out? thanks for your help! Gordon. 

I have Arc  + 2 Sonos One Sl as rear speakers + Sub Woofer (Gen 3).When listening to music via Airplay or Radio, can I turn off ARC and use 2 Sonos One Sl + Sub to listen in stereo mode?

Seen this posted a lot. Nothing recent. Using my old Sonos connect (S2 compatible). Just updated to an Era 100 in hopes it was just old hardware. Still cutting out. Diagnostic 1637704499. Thanks!

I have been trying to connect my play base to the S2 since being out of the country travelling. It is flashing green but is not discoverable on either app. This seems to be a problem with Playbases having looked at threads. Is there a fix now? 

I recently replaced all my HomePods with the new Era 100 and 300 speakers. For the most part, everything is better… except audio normalisation. I found some ancient threads on this issue (and also on Spotify forums), so I know I’m not imagining things. I use Spotify but I believe it also happens with Apple Music.So it’s great not to have to struggle with AirPlay and a whole host of other volume issues that now the lack of normalisation is really the biggest complaint I have now. It’s annoying to have to adjust volume from time to time when playing a varied playlist. When using Spotify over AirPlay, it works fine. Spotify over Spotify Connect doesn’t work right.I realise this is probably a Spotify issue but perhaps you could put some pressure on them to do whatever they need to do. It’s a feature music players have had since the early 2000s in my recollection (SoundCheck in Apple iTunes).CheersChris

Hi all,Maybe not the best place to ask this but I’m having problems with my arc and my LG C1 using the magic remote. It used to work fine but since I changed my wall mount I can’t seem to get the volume to work properly. I think it’s because in Universal Control Settings the audio is set to is set to headphones. For the life of me I can’t seem to change it to say eArc. Anyone know how to change that or offer some screen shots of your settings?Even the Sonos app doesn’t connect to the tv anymore or allow for me to connect to the magic remote.  

Hi, I just bought the Pro-Ject turntable and ERA 100 speaker. The black USB C cable was out of stock so I purchased one from Amazon. The system won’t connect the Line-In. I bought a second cable; still won’t connect. Sonos support told me that only their cable would work. Has anyone else experienced this?

Just successfully added two ERA 300s to my bedroom which had an ARC associated with a new Samsung TV and new Apple TV. Everything began marvelously.The rest of my home has wired and wireless Sonos products that are all compatible with Sonos 2.Then on playback of iTunes or Amazon selections I get skipping and “song is not encoded correctly” errors.Playback of Tunein radio stations is not interrupted on any of my Sonos devices.My WiFi coverage is excellent but I did try rebooting the router and the Boost. Still getting the same error messages.

I have two Sonos Play1 speakers and they have worked fine for over a year. Today they won’t group. I can play music through either one, I can play two different things through them simultaneously, but they will not play from the same source at the same time. I have held the play/pause button down and the music will start to play, but then the other speaker shuts off. Please help, this is quite frustrating.

I cannot figure out why my Sonos 1 is “unable to connect to Sonos”.  I had no problems connecting to Sonos before two days ago when spotify connectivity encountered a problem in the Sonos app.  My router and network have not changed, my router shows a great 2.4 ghz signal strength for my Sonos 1.   I tried resetting my Sonos 1 with initial connectivity but then I see “unable to connect to Sonos” error message with a blank screen on my app.  When I unplug and replug my Sonos 1 in my app finds it with internet connectivity, but then it losses it.  Would a VPN affect connectivity?  This has never been a problem in the past.  My router sends all of my internet communication through a VPN.  I even tried having my Sonos 1 be an exception routing it through my WAN without resolving this issue.Please help, thanks. 

Android S2 Sonos app crashes on Samsung phone and Lenovo Android tablet.Android reports ‘this app crashed because it has a bug’ immediately after tapping ‘System’ from the Settings menu.Both Android OS and Sonos app have gone thru several updates since this issue started last summer.The latest Sonos version 15.2 did not fix the issue.On the tablet, if I uninstall/reinstall Sonos the app will let me tap System without crashing one time only.  Then, to access System again, I need to uninstall/reinstall the Sonos app. Then I can tap System without a crash for one time again, and the cycle repeats.On the phone, the crash occurs whether or not I uninstall/reinstall. I cannot access System even one time from the phone.This behavior seems like a giant clue. Does anyone know of a fix?
