What does Sonos normally offer or do to it's customers if there outside the warranty period for S2 devices that are defective? Do they normally provide a discount on new purchases and if so, what kind of discount? Or would they maybe see about a full unit replacement if it gets escalated to a manager?

Hi I have a weird issue. For years I have been able to turn on/off my LG TV through voice command using google assistant on my Sonos One. Suddenly this has stopped working, and the google assistant in Sonos says “Sorry unknown error has occured on [name of my chromecast]” (this error might not be precise, I have translated it from my native language).I am able to for example pause/unpause the chromecast using voice command.If if say the exact same turn on/off command using the Assistant app on my phone the TV turns on/off.I have tried unlinking/removing my assistant both in Google Home app, and in the Sonos. Linked it again, and went through the setup process, but the same error occurs. I have also tried renaming my Chromecast (found that advice in a similar thread), but same result.Both my Sonos One and Chromecast has newest firmware.If i go to https://myactivity.google.com/ I can't even see any of my Sonos one commands. 

I have a projector Optoma projector with HDMI and HDMI MHL outputs for image and sound. Talking with the Sonos Commercial area, the didn’t recommend me to buy the Beam (Gen 2) because if I don’t have a device (TV or Projector) with ARC output, I can have problems with the synchronisation of the sound and the image. ¿is there any solution? ¿is this a real problem, or the appreciation would be minimal?. Thank you. Regards, Enrique inputs and outputs Optoma 

I have surround system with Arc + 2x One SL. I have already Trueplay-tuned that system with my Iphone 14 Pro Max, which has iOS 16.0.2. Now I have recently added also Sub Mini to that system without any problems, but when I try to Trueplay-tune the whole system, I get error message that Iphone is not supported ??? Any idea, what could be the problem and silution ?

Hey everyone, I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to all things sound. Love my Sonos system and just got the mini sub for my Beam + One setup. I’m struggling to figure out where to place it in the room. The best spot space wise is on my entertainment unit behind the TV.I know it’s not perfect, but how much bass quality am I losing with that placement?Thanks!

Hei, Jeg kjører Sonos Trådløst over WiFi 2, 4 Ghz som “Teknsik nett” - med andre smart Home produkter. Laptop kjøres normalt i eget WiFi nett til ordinære klienter - 5 Ghz. Det benyttes to Asus routere satt opp med AiMech, RT-AX86U - versjon: 3.0.0.4.388_20566. Teknisk nett på 2,4 Ghz kjører kun fra den ene Asus-routeren som er plassert i kjeller.Det er god dekning for alle Sonosprodukter - 12 totalt - ikke noe lag eller problem med lyd, men:Om jeg er på soverom i 2. etg. kjøkken i 1. etg, stue i 1. etg. og lytter til Sonosradio stopper denne opp i rundt 10 sekunder når jeg starter opp min laptop (5 Ghz) og så fortsetter den som normalt… Lytter jeg på musikk via Spotify har jeg ikke dette problemet. Velger jeg å benytte 2,4 Ghz på pcen har jeg heller ikke dette problemet - kobler altså til samme tekniske nettverk som Sonos benytter.Hva kan gjøres for å finne ut av årsaken til denne “pausen” under oppstart av pcen? Litt irriterende kan man si.. Jeg bruker Sonosradio - P4 Radio hele Norg

I recently updated to apple iOS 16, and ever since then my Spotify app will ONLY connect to my Sonos speaker if I use AirPlay. Before it allowed me to connect by selecting device. This worked way better for me as I could play music in my daughter’s room while being able to hear audio on my phone (on IG, or YouTube) without interrupting her music. But now since I’m forced to use airplay I can only play music or my YouTube audio will push to her speaker. anyone else seeing this issue? Any fixes? We tried updating the Sonos software but it keeps saying “error code - 800” 

I’ve just set up my Arc, One SL speakers and sub.I’ve got the volume on the Arc working with my virgin controller, but the TV standby button is no longer working. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks

Hey Sonos Users!I love my Sonos speakersThe sound is greatI was very excited to set up the new Ray product to my Sony TVBut after 3 hours (including 1 hour with the VERY NICE Sonos help gentleman) I was left with “you need to call Sony”Anybody else having trouble getting their Ray to connect to their TV Super frustrated Sonos fan,John

I have a Beam (gen 2) sub mini and 2 One SL's acting as rear surrounds. i had to power off one of the one SL's and when i powered it back on it appeared in a new room (living room 2) not paired to the other One SL. Has anyone else seen this ? or knows why it has happened ? In order to get everything back to normal i had to remove the "surround pair" from “living room” and then remove each One SL from the room it was in. then readd a "new" pair of surrounds and go through the setup process again.  i'm concerned this is going to happen every time i turn off a speaker or if there's a power cut.

Hi all,I have Playbar and just purchased a sub mini to pair with it.  System is using SonosNET.I successfully connected the sub to the network, updated the software and paired it with the playbar.  Unfortunately very shortly thereafter, the sub seems to have dropped from the network.  In the system setting section it shows as Playbar (+?) rather than Playbar (+sub).  If I restart the sub, it seems to connect briefly but as soon as I try playing sound from the TV, it drops again.I have tried 3 factory resets and moving the sub to different locations with similar results.  In one case, I was able to get music to play from Spotify through the Playbar which engaged the sub briefly but it eventually dropped again.Any suggestions?thanks in advance,Kevin 

It says “Sorry, we can’t connect to Sonos.  Let’s try some things: ...” It was working fine on this PC untill I switched from the ATT Wifi to an Orbi wifi.  Like I said in the title, our phones still work fine, and they’re on the same wifi as the PC.  All my speakers appear fine for the phone S1 app. I tried resetting the PC S1 app -- no difference.  It searches for about a minute, and says it’s connected, but then after I click OK, it says “Sorry, we can’t connect to Sonos.  Let’s try some things: ...” PC Wifi is is set up as a Private Network and is not set up as a Mobile Hotspot (no Internet connection sharing). Setting it to a Public Network did not help. I tried putting a cat 6 from the PC to my Sonos Boost, and the Internet still works from the PC, but no change to the S1 app on the PC failing to connect to my Sonos system. Diagnostic report: 1543599904

Hi, I have just installed Sonos five through wifi and other music services seem to work, but I cannot add Spotify. I can’t even find the service in the sonos app. How come? Spotify is available in Finland.I find my Sonos in the spotify app but I cannot connect to it. Please help! :) 

Intermittent, very brief cut out of sound from Samsung TV through Playbar. Happens on all TV sources - cable box, android box, streaming services. Optical cable connection. Does not occur while playing music. 

After running Trueplay on a stereo system with a Sub or Sub Mini the amount of bass decreases and noticed that it's not as heavy feeling/sounding even after adjusting the Sub Audio.I know there is nothing wrong with my system, but I do feel like Trueplay does dampen the bass the Subs output.Is this normal behavior and do I need to adjust the bass level in the EQ along with the Sub Aduio settings?

I currently have following setup:Playbase, Sub, 2x Play 3 for movie and music. All speakers combined to a surround set.I want to change the old play 3 with new 2 x Sonos Five for better sound for music. And I want to use these speaker as well as surround speakers in the rear of the room.That means all Speakers (Playbase, Sub and Sonos Five as Sourround Set.The Sonos Five can play Ultra HD streamed from Amazon.Does I will have also this quality when I use the Speaker together with the other speakers? Or need I separat the Sonos Five from the other to get the full resolution.    

sorry for my poor english since end of september, tracks i have listened from youtube music on Sonos doesn’t appear in my Youtube history on other apparels ( PC or phone)any idea?KR   

I upgraded to a new TV that supports Dolby Atmos, eArc, etc. I often stream content through an Apple TV 4K which does a better job than the TV’s native apps or any of the Firestick products.Currently the set up is Playbar, Sub (gen 2) and two Play:1 surrounds. I ordered a Beam Gen 2 to replace the Playbar to take advantage of Atmos content. (Sorry, Arc, but your price and mounting system made you impractical for my setup.) Question 1: Playing music via my Apple TV seems to be the only way to get Atmos/Spatial music into the system. I’m fine with that for the moment. Right now when playing TV content it automatically goes to speech enhancement mode, something I absolutely want when watch video content. So this comes on automatically when playing music via Apple TV. Does this impact music audio and how? Will I have to remember to turn speech enhancement on and off manually to take best advantage? Question 2: Since I still love my Playbar, I’m thinking of putting it in a large room (no TV

Our old computer system (iMac G5 2014) was hosting our music library which was running two Sonos Play 5 (get 1) speakers without issues. Each speaker had a unique name, and I was able (via the controller) to turn each speaker on and off individually.That computer died a few months ago. I went to hook up this same system to a different mac (Mac Mini 2017 vintage), and after a few tries got the system working, but with only one of the two speakers. When I open the controller interface (I updated the software upon moving the system to the new computer), the option of adding/selecting each individual speaker no longer exists. Instead, the only addressable option is a group name I had given the two speakers.So, how do I reconnect the second speaker into the system?

I recently removed my Sonos Arc/Sub/One SL system from my TV Room and installed a Sony audio system on my Sony TV. I preferred the Sonos system so after a couple of days I removed the Sony audio system and I installed back the Sonos. But the problem now is that the Sonos sound is badly affected. Bass is boomy both from the Arc and the Sub and there are screeching, harsh sounds from the rear speakers.  Only other change I made is I installed EU plug to UK plug adapters on the end of the power cables. In Cyprus where I live power plugs/sockets are the same as in the UK but for some reason Sonos ships its products with EU plugs. Before I plugged the EU plugs (2 pin) in the 3 pin sockets but I thought it was better to use an adapter now. What can I do to fix this? I did the TV setup in the Sonos App but still no change. I thought of resetting the TV and the Sonos speakers too but I would like to hear from someone on this forum first.

Bonjour,J’ai un soucis. Je m’explique : j’ai configuré mes sonos one en paire puisqu’elles sont dans le salon et dès lors que j’écoute la musique ou que je fais fonctionner ma télé au travers de mon Apple TV, une enceinte fonctionne mais pas l’autre. Dans ce cas, je suis obligée de supprimer la paire et la reconfigurer systématiquement. Parfois même, l’enceinte ne fonctionne plus en plein milieu d’un film ou autre. Et je dois refaire ce même mécanisme pour que ça fonctionne.Pour votre info : elles sont connectées au wifi (j’ai la fibre) Auriez vous une solution pour résoudre mon problème, svp ? Par avance, merci ! Belle journée.Amélie 

I have an Arc, 2xOne speakers & sub which havent been working for a while now. Im waiting for a long ethernet cable to arrive so that i can try and use that to connect to arc and see if it works. Ive spent about 200 million hours on the phone with sonos support and cant get this working.  I have an Orbi router that came with my new ISP.  When i log into the router it seems as though the Sonos system has got a 10.10… IP address and the rest of devices connected have 192.168…. Sonos support seems to think this is causing the issues as the speakers cant communicate and are therefore not showing on the app. But they dont have a solution as to how to fix it. Can anyone help?

How can I disable the Sonos iPhone app haptics (volume slider) without disabling haptics globally in the iPhone settings? If no control exists, please add it. 

Hi - Has anyone successfully group a stereo pair of Play 1s in the same room as the Connect? I have a Connect set up and a stereo pair of Play 1s set up, but the S1 app won't let me have them be in the same room. If I select "Porch" for one of them and then attempt to set the same room for the other, "Porch 2" is then listed in the room choices and not just "Porch." Arrgggghhh!
