Good evening Just bought two Era 100’s as my main music source. They are excellent, however, I have a problem. All my other speakers and my sound bar are on Sonosnet, while the Era 100’s obviously are on my Wi-Fi. The problem I have is when I group the Era100’s with any of my other Sonos one’s they keep losing connection. Yet play the Era 100’s on their own or likewise the other speakers on Sonosnet on their own they work fine. They just will not work when grouped properly.

 I have a Beam, Sub and Pair of Ones along with a pair of Fives that all connect to Sonos Net via the Sonos Boost plugged directly into my router.I also have a pair of ERA 300s that are not compatible with Sonos Net. Up until yesterday I've had no problem playing music to any two pairs or all speakers at once. Ever since the most recent app update (today or yesterday), I can combine the groups of speakers or "rooms" that are on the Sonos net and play them together, but the ERA 300s cannot play the same song at the same time all of the sudden.I can also play just the ERA 300s, but if I attempt to add in either of the other rooms, the app shows them playing but no audio comes out.Anybody else experiencing this?

HI.Bought an ERA 100 for a friend’s new home.  They have a Samsung smart tv and want to play the sound through the ERA. Can you let us know how to do that? The tv connects through wifi. At this point the Sonos is paired by bluetooth to a phone. The Sonos app is installed.Thanks for any help and info.

For about the last month, my Sonos Playbar and a pair of Play 1 speakers temporarily stop playing together after grouping.The Playbar is also used as a TV speaker, which causes it to ungroup from Play 1 speakers when the TV is on. That’s the way we prefer it for TV watching.When listening to music, we prefer a whole room effect, so we group them together.For about the last month, especially when listening to SiriusXM, the grouping works great for about the first 10 minutes, then the Playbar drops off for about 3 minutes, so only the Play 1s are working. Then  the Playbar returns to the group by itself, although the overall sound quality is degraded.I have tried powering down all components, then rebooting, to no avail.I live in a high rise building amidst many other WiFi systems. The components all work off a Wifi extender on a Google Fiber network. All the components are 12 feet or closer to the extender.Grateful for any help. I have submitted diagnostics Confirmation #515872033.

Sound distorts in the upper midrange only when classical-orchestral music is playing. Is there any adjustment that would help

Please please help before I throw this crap out the window.Sub constantly disconnects from sub, possibly from router reset, I don't know. Generally turning this junk off and back on resets it all fine. Tonight, oh my god what a palaver. Router has been reset 3 times. Sub reset 5 times. Playbar reset 4 times. Variations of unplugging. I've had 3 different fault messages. Eventually found " Wireless connection not suitable for this playbar. "Reset everything. Uninstall app, reinstall. Reconnect all components. It recognises both items, but won't allow me to add the sub to the room( playbar) as it can't find it ??? Seriously? I've been at this an hour now. Pressing buttons, resetting this, resetting that, all different orders. The Wireless isn't suitable bit has gone, both speakers are on the app, but they don't recognise each other. All been fine for 3 years except all these disconnects but this one takes the biscuit

HelloI have recently purchased a Cambridge Audio AXA35 to go with my setup. Setup consists of:2x Sonos One SLsSonos PortSony PS-LX310BT turntable I want to play vinyl on my turntable through my Sonos speakers and be able to control the volume and settings through the Cambridge Audio AXA35. However I cannot figure out the optimum way of connecting all the various components to achieve what I want. I have the phono outputs from the turntable and an analogue RCA cable currently. I am able to get sound by connecting the turntable output to the amplifier phono inputs, with the turntable set to “Phono". And then connecting the REC out to the In ports on the Sonos Port. However even with the line out set to “fixed" in the Sonos app I can still control the volume in the app and the volume controls and settings on the amp don't do anything.I am not the most AV minded so grateful if someone could possibly advise where I'm going wrong… Thanks

Hi, I have recently moved house and had to reconfigure my system. For some reason, Sonos has duplicated my 'Dining Room' so now I have three 'Dining Rooms', each with a separate component (see image). Is there a simple way to remove the duplicates and just have one Dining room with all the components in? Thanks  

Apple acquired Primephonic in 2021 with the intention of using that service as the basic of creating their own music solution aimed specifically at the Classical music genre.I did not pay much attention at the time but I thought this was more for dealing with the enhanced meta data/tag information needed for the Classical music genre. For example the same music title composed by the same original composer may have multiple recordings from many different orchestras over time and with sometimes different conductors, soloists or singers any of which might be specifically looked for by classical music enthusiasts.Well Apple are this month finally launching their new Apple Music Classical app which is the dedicated app for classical music and will be backed up by the current Apple Music streaming service. It will be free to existing Apple Music subscribers.See - https://apps.apple.com/app/id1598433714Initially at least it is only available as an iPhone app and not an iPad or Mac app.The rel

Hello to all. My SonosRoam can't find unpnp or smb shares. This happened after changing the ac router to ax. But my denon ceol finds unpnp and nvidia shield tv finds unpnp/smb. Sonos connects to the router and the ssd connected to it, but it says that there are no media shares... Since my denon and nvidia find all shares, I don't want such advice that: you need to disconnect ax or something similar. If my old devices work with the new router, then I think that the problems are not in it. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

I have a Ray, 2 Ones, and an Era 100. What is the best way to set them up? The Ray is in front of the tv, the Ones on the right side, the Era on the left by where I sit. If I try towatch a movie, the sound is boomy and echoic, can’t hear clear dialog. Please help. I am also new to Sonos, love the speakers, think the set up requirements and the user guide aren;t worth s--t, If ever a company needs to incorporate Chat GBT, Sonos does.

Hi guys, The offer for 3 months apple music came up on my app but I didn't yet have an apple Id. I managed to finally get one but now the offer doesn't appear anymore! I tried looking on the website but there's no option to redeem it. Anyone else know a way?

I send back my amp and waiting for the discount. How long it takes to get it? 

Has anyone else had issues setting up Alexa on their Era 100? I have a One with Alexa enabled but when I try to add Alexa to my 100 I get a “There was a problem adding Alexa” error after clicking the “Sign in to Amazon” button. I have logged out of and back into the Amazon Alexa app, and disabled/re-enabled the Sonos skill in that app.

Can I use a Sonos One and Sonos move into Stereo mode?

This topic is older and might not have the most up to date information. Please click here to see a list of more topics around the same subject. I added several speakers to Apple Homekit.  They show up in Homekit, but when I click on them, they show up with a greyed-out box and everything else grayed-out and a message saying “Not Playing.” This is the same on the iphone and two ipads. However, all Sonos speakers are playing music while the Apple devices give me the grayed- out box and “Not Playing” message.  I reset the router, wifi and powered down the Sonos system several times, with no effect.  I am not using a hub of any kind.  I am connecting locally via wifi.  Is there something I am missing here?

Hi,I'm using Amazon Unlimited. I want to browse for a song on the Amazon Music App, then start playing it on Sonos, without having to search for it again in S2. Is there a quick way to do this (eg menu items or share URL link)?I don't want to use Cast/ Connect because then the music won't play in Hi Res if it is an Ultra HD track.I don't want to browse on the Sonos app, because, amongst other reasons, I can't see if the track is Hi Res.The closest solution I've found is to cast the track, then press three dots and choose 'Search [The Artist]'. But I then have to stop the cast, search for the album, find the track and play it.Am I missing a trick, or is that just the way it is?Thanks v much

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!
