My sub has been connected to my beam for well over a year and out of the blue last night it started making a loud static / white noise sound. I unplugged and restarted it and now the sound has stopped, but can’t get any audio through.  I disconnected and reconnected the sub via the app. Reset the sub to factory settings, rebooted my router and tried connecting via a Ethernet cable, but nothing seems to work.  I’m out of ideas… diagnostic number 213818091 thanks!

Hi teamI recently bought a Beam Gen 2 but have noticed that when watching Disney+ content via the app on my TV that content does not play the audio as Dolby 5.1 even though the show or movie says it supports in in the details tab. Standard broadcast TV and Prime plays in 5.1 but not Disney+.Has anyone else encounter this or know how to rectify it?

I’ve got an outdoor space that we recently expanded. Right now I’ve got two speakers (NHT O2-ARC’s if it helps) running in Dual Mono Mode but with the new space three speakers would fit better. I could fit 4, but it really feels like overkill.  Will running three speakers long-term from the Sonos Amp cause any problems with uneven volume from the speakers, longevity concerns for the Amp itself due to uneven load across the channels, or anything else I might not be thinking off? Thanks everyone!!

I purchased this abought 6 or 7 years ago because of the sound.  I totally regret it because of the frequent Wi-Fi drops and problems reconnecting.  But it always eventually reconnected after screwing with it 30  or 40 minutes. So the other night when I was sleeping, I play white noise over it, it disconnected and will not reconnect with all the usual tricks.  I did connect it to a LAN line and it then connected, but as soon I as I disconnected it to put it back in my bedroom on Wi-Fi, it again would not connect.  I read on here about updates that were not supported by the Play:1, what do I do?   I’m about to smash this thing.   

This only happens with Spotify.  Apple Music or Pandora have no issues.  When I stream the same playlist over phone or computer via Spotify there are no issues.  On the Sonos system at work when I stream Spotify playlist they also skip at work just like with my home Sonos system.  There is something with your Sonos/Spotify integration that is triggering this skipping condition or more susceptible to triggering a skip with Spotify

Hi all,I can’t seem to get my Ray via the app to recognise my Hitachi TV remote so that I can adjust the volume (the remote still only adjusts TV speaker volume). When setting up (volume up x3) the Ray flashes, but the app says it can’t detect a remote and I can’t find a set up/ help guide to fix the issue.I’d appreciate any ideas! I’m using the hitachi TV alongside an Apple TV. Thank you so much. 

Hi all - I have a Connect and currently have it set up to receive audio form my turntable’s preamp and then output to two active speakers, it sounds lovely. I have a headphone amplifier and DAC set up to listen to audio from my PC, laptop or whatever I connect to the DAC and want to see if I can somehow listen to the “line in” from there. My question: has anyone found a way to stream the audio from a Connect or Port to a laptop or PC? Kind of a reverse set up. I would like to listen to my vinyl using my headphones sometimes rather than having to listen through speakers.My desk set up is not too near my connect so it would require a lot of RCA cable to connect the output of the connect to my headphone amplifier. 

Hello AllOld topic I know.I used a Linksys EA6100 for years, but it now struggles with range, signal strength and signal in general falls out. I wanted to upgrade within a reasonable budget (for my use) to a router with a usb3 connection. All the music I play is stored on a SSD HDD connected directly to the router. On the Linksys, I could index the entire 400gb music in one go, no problems what so ever, but with the new routers I have tried, nothing works. Anyone know what is wrong and what to do?New router 1: TP-Link AC1750 Archer C8 v3. It instantly fails out with “HDD has lost power or the path is wrong” weirdly I can index one artis folder no problem, but several. Not a chance.New Router 2: ASUS RT-AX56U. I did as told by disabling Airtime Fairness on both 2.4 and 5 GHz but it instantly goes into the same “your HDD has lost power or path I wrong”. I then tried the Merlin firmware with a hope that could help, but no luck.Anyone knows why the old router with crappy signal can munch i

I have both sonos one and play one using S1 app and has been working fine until recently. Cannot use spotify in S1 app as it is saying I need to update app for it to work - link then wants me to update to S2 app despite the play 1 being incompatible. I am left being unable to use spotify for my system which is what I mainly use it for.I have reset apps, deleted and downloaded, restarted system but no joy. Anyone have any tips?

We have a job that requires 4 in-ceiling Sonance AS38RS Speakers. Another zone would have 2 Sonance AS38RS Speakers.I just want to know will a Sonos Amp be able to handle 2 or 4 of these speakers or should we use a passive amp and Sonos port?AS38RS Impediance is 10 ohms nominal; 8 ohms minimum (100W max) each

I have a sonos one, beam, port, and move.  Created one group, called it “all” and initially everything worked beautifully.  But recently, it almost never works that all play.  I can get two to play together and then turn off others and then the other two may play together.  Really frustrated.  Help!

Theres a ton of questions on this and other forums about surround speakers not working well when PCM (Stereo) feed is detected and it seems there is a setting missing from the “Surround Audio” page of the controller.This is especially the case in my set up, where my speakers are used primarily to fill the space in a large area so that music primarily fills the room, this set up works really well with stereo audio sources and really comes to life when we use surround sound (and apple spatial audio does this well).However every time we come across a video source where stereo (PCM) audio is present, the ambient rear speakers just are not powerful enough to fill the room. We have the option for Audio sources in the “Surround Audio” settings that allow for Ambient or Full Music Playback which is great for audio, but we need the exact same option for Stereo PCM (Video Equivalent) - Maybe this could even be solved by a tick box that just says “apply these settings to PCM Audio”Obviously I rea

There are several system design issues that I cannot get around.  Please advise.I have two separate locations in which I own and regularly use 19 Sonos devices. This includes one Roam that I take back and forth between sites.  I have Amazon Echos to control the speakers, along with the Sonos app on my phone and my PC.Problem: I cannot use Alexa with both networks at the same time (even though Alexa has no problems controlling other devices across separate networks).Details: In order to control Sonos devices with Alexa, I must use the Sonos skill in the Alexa app. When I enable the skill, Alexa knows I have Sonos speakers on two separate networks, and asks me to select one by listing the Sonos devices that are on each network. Once selected, things work fine on the selected network, but do not work on the other. When I wish to change locations, I must disable the skill in the Alexa app and re-enable by choosing the other network. This breaks the first.  If I am in location A but my wife

Hello. Before I return my speakers - I thought I would check here for advice/ideas. I have 2 kids who do not have tablets/phones in their rooms. They do have their own Spotify accounts on my family plan. I bought 2 gen 2 Sonos One speakers hoping I could put then in their rooms and set speaker 1 to leverage Alexa to play Spotify account 1, and speaker 2 to leverage Alexa to play Spotify account 2. I see that I am able to associate multiple Spotify accounts within the Sonos app, but it appears that I can only able to select 1 account to play on either given speaker. Further, when 1 speaker plays music, the other speaker is not able to play different music. For example, if speaker 1 plays song A, and speaker 2 starts song B, then speaker 1 stops playing song A.  My goal is to allow kid 1 to listen to Spotify account 1, and kid 2 to listen to Spotify account 2 at the same time, without conflict, and to have this able to be controlled via voice controls. Do I have any options here? If not

I have a set of Dali Rubicon 2 stereo speakers that I was planning to be run by a Sonos Amp. I have been told (not tried yet), that the Amp will not have sufficient power. The setup is primarly to be used as a stereo for music, but I also wanted to be able to connect TV sound.  Any recommendations how to setup my stereo speakers?Can I use a Beam connected to the TV and stream audio to a Port connected to external amplifier for the speakers? Will the be a delay?

Bonjour J'ai actuellement un système sonos 5.0 composé d'une playbar et de 2 sonos play:1 en surround pour le home cinéma et une chaîne denon df107 pour la musique. J'ai pour projet de remplacer tout ça par le sonos amp nouvelle génération associé à deux enceintes bibliothèques qui restent à définir connecté en HDMI à la tv. J'ai plusieurs questions à ce sujet :- est-il pertinent de remplacer une playbar, pour laquelle je suis déçu de la spatialisation stéréo, par un sonos amp ?- que penser de l'effet surround généré par les 2 play:1 associé à l’amp? Les effets sont ils bien gérés? Existe-t-il une dégradation à ce niveau là par rapport à la playbar?

I contacted Sonos 3 separate times to find out what devices support Trueplay (please do NOT send me links to Trueplay compatible devices on Sonos site. I’ve seen it and it doesn’t tell me anything.) I was told that the iPad gen 8 WAS compatible with Trueplay so I bought a used one and come to find out it doesn’t work. I was also told by others on forums etc. that it would work also. Between this and the last update I’m at my wits end. Why can’t Sonos put out a complete list of every individual ios device that supports Trueplay. Now I’m out hundreds of dollars. No, I don’t know anybody that I can borrow a device from. Can anybody tell me exactly which iPads (not iPhones) support Trueplay please!!! 

 I am in the process in getting a new TV (Samsung Frame) which will be mounted over a fireplace. I previously had a setup using a Sonos Sound Bar , Sub and two Ones. Mounting a Sound Bar (even the Arc) is not going to be feasible above the fireplace. What option do I have for TV sound without using a Sound Bar?  (e.g. just using the two Ones perhaps)? Thank youAnthony O.

That's it... That's my question! Reasons please... Thanks in advance community.

Another variation on what appears to be a very persistent and annoying complaint. (Diagnostics confirmation number: 938688458) When I first start listening to my Sonos system, songs in a Sonos playlist will play for a while (around two minutes) and then skip to the next song. After 10 or 15 songs have played, the skipping stops and everything seems fine. This is very reproducible but only happens after my Sonos system has been idle for more than 12 hours or so. It doesn't seem to matter if I use the iOS or Windows app.  I’m running a Sonos BOOST wireless network for the various Sonos products, everything else is hardwired on a GE IPV4 LAN. Music is hosted on my Synology NAS, but I had exactly the same problem when my library was on a local Windows machine.For what it’s worth, this problem only cropped up sometime early his year. Absolutely nothing has changed with my network setup and it’s the same NAS hardware. If I had to guess, it sounds like some kind of network buffering issue to

Changed routers, lost all 3 devices from Sonos 1 app, nit compatible with 2 app. 2 x amps connected with Ethernet then showed up and converted to wifi - all ok. Sound bar is downstairs, stuck to a walls NR no chance of Ethernet connection and it will not appear. Tried the button press flashing orange light etc but doesn’t find it. Add a product doesn’t find it, etc etc - any suggestions?

Why cant i control spotify from sonos vouce control or use gooogle assistant to control spotify through sonos

I have an ARC and LG C8 connected via the HDMI ARC port. About 6 months ago, the sound started not to come out of the ARC and when I tried to turn up the volume, I received this volume bar at the bottom of the tv with a green music note merged with the bluetooth symbol. I disconnected and rebooted everything, some times the problem would fix itself, sometimes nothing would change. I can’t figure out why it’s doing this… I’m in the process of purchasing a new cable to see if that’s the issue. I have ran a diagnostic - 740537237Has this come up before? Is there any solution beside someone blowing me off and telling me it’s the TV or something else?  

Is SUB compatible with SONOS 5 gen 1 AND 2?  

The Sonos Controller for PC app keeps grabbing focus.  This happens while minimized and while not minimized.  I am experiencing this behavior across multiple PCs in the house.  Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?I’m using controller version 11.5.
