14 Nov 2022. Alexa on my beam has stopped playing streamed or playlist music whereas my Alexa devices are fine. Anyone know if there is a Sonos problem?

Can anyone tell me how to import playlists from Napster to Tidal? I’m in love with my SONOS, but would dearly love finding a way to save these playlists.Many thanks.

We're having a huge problem with both our speakers. After the TV is shut off (a Sony), and after about five minutes, we get three VERY loud squawks--so loud I jump. The Geek Squad has been out three times but can't fix the problem. Any ideas? This happens on the Arc and the larger one.

"I have a Sonos ‘Bridge’ which is connected to 4 speakers in the room. I also have two Sonos one Gen 1 . I am not able to update the Sonos app Which ones of the items I have mentioned should I replace ?” 

HOW DO I GET THE SONOS CONTROL PANEL BACK ON MY IMAC, I HAD TO DELETE TO DO A LARGE UPDATE  

So i was getting really tired of the adds on the Sonos, i cannot switch between stations without being spammed with ads. So up comes Sonos HD Radio, i do a trial and i still hear ads on every station and even still in my own language so it is still targeting me.So even that Sonos HD promises no ads, i think the stations on their own add ads at the beginning too so that means Sonos HD can never deliver because those stations still place ads in front of them making the HD useless in my opinion.The only thing that does work is to just lower the volume to 0% and leave it on, then raise the volume when i want music again. I know this uses up bandwith but hey, people do crazy stuff to avoid those freaking annoying ads.So if anyone has the golden nugget here, please mention it :) excuse me for my “annoyance”Thanks,Erik

It is ridiculous how loud google assistant volume is compared to alarm / notification / music volume. There NEEDS to be a way to turn down assistant voice volume. Google assistant is unusable.Is there a way to give Sonos feedback other than through this forum?

quale film o colonna sonora cercare per testare impianto sonos, grazie

Hi,I just bought a SONOS Beam and I was very surprised to find out that there is no indication/notification/setting to see if/when the soundbar enters in standby.Everyone says the same old story: SONOS has a special standby mode when not used.That’s all! I am sorry, but i am not buying it! I will buy a multimeter socket and test it myself to see the power consumptions between day and night.

Hi,I encounter a problem with my sonos One SL.My One SL stop playing after one song of an album (store as MP3 on my phone : Samsung A52S Android V12). All the album is on the playlist, and music starts again when I unlock my phone and go on the app.I have no problem with radios so far or others music applications. I check all Android parameters for sleep mode, application not used, battery saving and everything is disabled. My WI-FI settings seems OK.I check different topics but nothing solve this issue.Any idea what can be the problem ?Thanks for the help.

I’m using a Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8 as a server to access the majority of my music library files via a network connection to my (newer) iMac running OS Catalina 10.15.7.I have no issues accessing the music library from the G5 on the iMac, but the Sonos Controller or iPhone app cannot access the G5 library...I’ve confirmed sharing settings and believe them to be correct.Is the Mac G5 (OS 10.5.8) too many generations removed and incompatible with current Sonos Controller software of iPhone app?

Hi - Trying to set up my LG TV (an older TV) with my beam via the HDMI ARC. TV has option to use external speakers with the ARC. Beam works, and has worked using HDMI on previous TV. Only thing I can assume is the HDMI isn’t compatible with ARC? But not sure that’s “a thing”!any help much appreciated

Hello,I would like to connect my Sonos Play 1 that is from 2018 to a video projector Xiaomi Mi Smart that has a bluetooth connection, a usb 2.0 port , hdmi port and a jack port. Do you think it is possible to connect?Thank you!

I’m using an Insignia FireTV and some apps, despite S2 reporting a dolby digital signal, will NOT send sound to my rear speakers.  I’m using a Playbar with a connect Amp feeding surrounds.  Some apps like Netflix work perfectly, but others such as Xfinity Stream and Paramount Plus won’t send sound to the rears.  I tried streaming the same exact content via Roku ultras and it worked.  Anyone experience anything similar?  I’m leaning towards this being an issue with the apps or the tv itself but figured I’d start here. 

as per this thread:my roam turns itself on even though I followed the instructions and a) held the power button for 7-10 seconds until it made the tone and powered down and b) enabled battery saver in the app.My roam was “off” as per instructions (tone and battery saver) and sitting on a charging pad and when I returned home from work it is there with all it’s lights on.Why won’t it stay off? 

Help I have a beam gen 1 and 2 one sl as a basic home cinema system. The connection between the three keeps droppingI keep factory resetting the one sl"s, one shows then when I connect the other both diappear. I can tell you how many times I have rebooted. It has worked fine for months but recently (updates?), nothing works. I am so frustrated that I am close to chucking them in the bin! The Best I get is 2 showing in the app but not all three! When connect the third, that's when it goes wrong. Any suggestions as this is supposed to be plug n play. The router is WiFi 6, in the same room and no physical barriers, so don't pass the buck and blame the router. Help 

Hello,I have a 75” 2022 frame tv mounted on a concrete wall above our fireplace.  i purchased the Arc soundbar to mount under the tv and wondering how close to the tv i can mount it.  the directions say 5.5” and i’ve read in the forum 4”.  Is the reason for that distance so the uplifting speakers don’t block with the tv, cause if that’s the case the frame tv only protrudes 1” out from wall so I don’t think there would be a blockage?  I’d rather mount it 1-2” below the tv if possible.  I have 2 OneSL sitting behind our viewing area as well. Thoughts? Thanks, Jill

I have Sonos speakers in my gym and need to use a interval timer for some of the workouts. We use android tablets so we can’t airplay and need the freedom of Bluetooth so we can’t line in. Is this possible ?

I tried to use the SONOSLIVE discount code, valid today only i believe, but it doesnt work when ordering 2 x Sonos One - Gen 2 ...

Hello, I’m looking to get a Sonos AMP with 4 x Monitor Audio C280 IDC (specs below). Would this pairing be okay if I wired them in parallel? https://www.monitoraudio.com/en/product-ranges/core/c280-idc/ Thanks

Hi folks.  I have an arc, sub and 2 ones.  If I purchase a second hand play5 for example that's on gen1, can I connect it to the arc and use it to play music as a group in another room?

When I switch my Sonos  from tv to anything else, it looses the network connection and all 5 pieces of my system need to be reinstalled. And it looses the connection to the television. Today I can’t even do that. I really wish I hadn’t invested in Sonos. Something is always wrong with it. 

I have a Sonos 1 that is on my network with an IP. Additionally, I’m able to ping the Sonos device using the command prompt.However, the only way I can connect to this speaker to play sound is via Bluetooth from my Windows PC. How can I use my network connection to the device to play sound? Basically use it as a network-controlled speaker.

I have a Playbar connected via optical to my Sony KD-55XH905.Until recently I used my SkyQ remote to control the sound on my TV but I have cancelled my subscription and have to send back the Sky equipment.This forces me to use the Sony remote but although the TV shows the remote responding (volume bar appears on screen going up/down), the Playbar does not respond.I have gone through troubleshooting in the iOS app but it says it cannot find a response from the remote.Does anyone have any ideas?
