Sonos are playing my playlist in wrong order. Sometimes it begins from top of the lists over and over again.I have no randomizer and I dont want it to be played randomly. I have checked as much as i can but no success.What to do??

Can you use a 2112 mac as a music server with S1

My original Roam died and has been replaced under warranty.  Since the problems seemed to be power related, I’m thinking of only using this one on USB-C and keeping the wireless charger in a drawer.  Is this paranoid?  The original would regularly drain faster than it’d charge on the wireless pad but the new one seems to be behaving and I was wondering what experiences everyone else had.  I may even try out the voice assistant again on USB-C with this guy, it killed the battery faster than anything else on the first one.  

Hello! I would like to find out the best recommended  connectors to connect two sonos 5 speakers to a record player with standard RCA jacks. any links to the correct connectors would be appreciated.  I am using a U Turn record player and two sonos 5 speakers.   

I have an Echo dot and a bunch of Sonos Play speakers. All up to date software. I have the Sonos skill enabled on the Alexa app but when I go to settings>services and voice>add a service in the Sonos app there is no option for Amazon Alexa, only Amazon Music. I’m based in the UK. Any ideas why it’s not available? 

Hey there,I have two Sonos S1 gen2 and want to know if the little Ray tv soundbar is compatible with my 2 speakers?If u you oh can help me Thankyou.😎 

Original topic has been closed ^So this is what I’ve found...After a few months the issue is still happening. Not as often, but still once in a while.Re. the VPN. Weirdly, although Sonos is already bypassed, the issue actually seems worse when it’s completely disabled  (‘VPN’ is Blokada by the way - I only just use it for a bit of light ad-blocking).So I don't think that's the problem.One thing I have noticed is that sometimes when I open the app and go to favourites, the "All your favourites in one place" screen will show up for a split second, and then the favourites will be displayed as normal.This may be because favourites are system-wide and not device specific. So it is as if Sonos hasn't had chance to load them in yet from wherever they are stored. And every now and again it takes a few minutes for the system to get it’s act together. (But generally they load instantly).Slightly different issue, although it may be related. I have terrible trouble with the phone disconnecting fro

Yesterday I added two Play 1 speakers to my home (First time setup). In the sonos app where you add music services, spotify don’t show up. Not on the phone and and not on the desktopp add. A whole lot of other music services shows up. From my spotify app i can detect the sonos speakers but when i try to connect to them it just tries to connect endlessly. And nothing happens. I can connect to my google home speaker just fine from the app.From the sonos app i can play music through the sonos speakers with the other music services, so the speakers are connected and works, it is that I can’t add the spotify app to sonos, and if i use the spotify app it wont connect to the speakers. I have previously connected to sonos speakers in my dads home from the spotify app with no issues.What I’ve tried so far: Reinstalled both the spotify and sonos app.Rebooted the network, rebooted the sonos speakers.   

Just got a new Spectrum dual band 2.4/5 MHz combined router and my older Beam will no longer connect to WiFi. How can I reconnect?

A little background: I’ve had my system since the ZonePlayer and big standalone controller days. Today it consists of Play:1 and One SL speakers, with S2 Android apps and also Windows apps. I have a large library of MP3 and WMA songs on a Synology NAS. I have many imported playlists in old school WPL format, and generally play from these playlists. The imported playlists number below the 1,000 max and 40,000 total songs limits I found in this support article. I do have 2 of the speakers plugged into ethernet; I figured it wouldn’t hurt.In recent months, I’ve started to see sporadic issues in which during playback of an imported playlist, the current song will stop about halfway in, and Sonos will advance to the next song. And often this cycle will repeat, sometimes righting itself and playing normally, but just as often starting and skipping songs continually going forward. Because I generally play these imported playlists, I’m not sure whether the issue would also occur during playbac

Merry Christmas everybody :)I just bought a roam SL to my father for christmas and i have been trying on several devices (3 different iphones, and 2 ipads) to connect the product with wifi and sonos app. But it refuses to do so.I have switched off the “private connection” for wifi network on each device. i have rebooted my router i have reinitialized the roam sl between each try i have logged out; deleted and reinstalled sonos appNothing works. I hope someone here can help us.Thank you 

Frequently when I select a song from my music library, even from the app on my computer where my music library is hosted, I get the “unable to play xxxxxx, the server cannot be found” error.If I clear the error message and tap play several times though, without changing, resetting, or touching any part if the system in any way, the song will start playing. So in some sense it’s a false error message, as all the devices  are on and connected and ready, and the system can do it, just not right away. It happens more often than not when I select a song these days, and it’s annoying. Anyone know what might be behind that or how to make it better?

Hello,The electrical supply to the house was shut off due to a PowerPoint issue. In the Sonos App, all three rooms appear to be working as soon as the power is restored. Until I try to play something, I cannot get it to play anything. There is no radio program on Tune In. My Tidal streaming account was used to listen to music. Once again, nothing. I need your help! 

I am Selling my Sonos one sl.buyer is asking for picture of the buttom. Does anybody knows why?

Hi All,In my 2nd TV room I have a LG C7 connected to optical to a Sonos playbar (with Sonos 1 “surrounds” and Sonos subwoofer). Obviously had this for many years and now with the advent of lots of streaming material being 5.1, Atmos etc. I’m thinking of upgrading the playbar to a Beam to get the full benefit of 5.1, Atmos etc. The listening area is relatively small ~3m x ~3m (dining area just off kitchen).I working on the assumption that the C7 eARC will output Atmos to the Beam (my C9 in the lounge does) and that the sonos 1 (original) / subwoofer (original) will all work? The speakers currently only work with the S1 app but the Beam is S2 - do I need to worry about that?

HI, where in the UK can I order or buy a  replacement rechargeable battery  for my CR200 controller

How do I downgrade my PLAY:5 (Gen 1) to a point where it will work with my CR200? I know the CR200 is no longer supported ;-)

Hello,I have been reading the problems and solutions that others have had and tried with Sonos and the BT Homehub. We have BT and I have a Sonos Boost. We keep losing connection to our Sonos system, usually at night and in the morning. Is this likely a BT problem with their hub and Sonos not getting on with it or is the Boost solving that and it’s an issue with the Sonos system?  Thanks for your help. 

My Equipment: Sonos BeamSonos PortTurntable (w/ amp)Yamaha Receiverw/ Bose bookshelf speakers (pair)My Setup:I have my TV connected to a Sonos Beam on one side of the room, and on the opposite side of the room, behind the couch/TV against the wall, I have a turntable connected to a receiver with two bookshelf speakers.  I use that setup to listen to my vinyl records and I use my Beam to watch TV and stream music digitally.My Goal: I bought the Sonos Port with the understanding that it would allow me to do both by combining the two on the Sonos network. Ideally, I’d like to connect the Port to the receiver/turntable so that I can listen to vinyl AND digital audio through the receiver’s bookshelf speakers AND Beam. Given that, I was under the impression that I would then be able to apply the same concept to TV audio, where the bookshelf speakers act like two surround sound speakers…. Is that not the case??? If so, what setup would I need to achieve this? 

Hi All - I just added Sonos to my gym via a Ray sound bar on the TV.  My wife does guided workouts using the TV. Particularly on the treadmill, the TV speakers too far away to reliably hear over the treadmill motor. I'd like to use a Play 3 as an additional speaker, essentially just playing whatever the Ray is outputting.  I was able to add the Play 3 to the system with no problem, but it sets itself up into a new room ("Gym 2").   I'm figuring I can just put the output of the ray to the Play 3, but is there any way to permanently group these together?  (Improved WAF....you know....).   Thanks! 

I have a Sonos IKEA frame and have recently reconfigured my wireless network. As a results, I fail to connect the Sonos speaker. I have tried all the suggestions to reset, restart etc. I have even checked that my speaker connects to a network in a different building. My hunch is that there is some incompatibility between the speaker and my network settings, but I cannot figure out what to do.Any suggestions?

Hi there,From a couple od weeks I’m experciencing problems with browsing Deezer on Sonos S2 app (PC and smartfone). The issue is: when I enter the Deezer tab in Sonos app, there is a loadsing sign for a brief moment and then the text “unable to browse music” aprears. I’ve already tried turning off and on the whole system, updating the Sonos app and Deezer app, but there is no effect. The strange thing is, that sometimes it works, so I’m little bit confused and guess this sugests that the issue is with Deezer, but maybe Sonos have some solution for this?Last time (2-3 days ago) it worked just fine, and then, when I’ve reconfigured speakers (Beam and 2x Play:1) and reactivated Deezer account the problem came back… Any ideas how to solve this, the issue is iritating?PS - voice control works fine with Deezer. 

At 1am, sonos started playing music out of the blue.  I generated a diagnostics code shortly after it happened, which is 1080735780.  Can you explain what happened? Thanks, Paul

Hello everyone,I’m having a problem where certain keywords in movies etc. is activating the Google Assistant. When it happens sound is muted until it deactivates again (few seconds). I know I’m able to turn off the microphone manually but I’m wondering if there’s a way to do it automatically when watching TV? I’ve got no use for Google Assistant during movies and TV-shows anyway.Am I able to contact Sonos directly with feature requests?Thanks in advance.
