Received notification this evening April 21, 2022 for System Update.  Wondering what I got?Inventory with updated hardware versionOne SL (left) 1.28.1.6-1.1One SL (right) 1.28.1.6-1.1Playbar 1.9.1.11-1.2Amp 1.24.1.12-1.2Sub 1.8.6.6-1.2Port 1.29.1.7-1.2OS S2 14.6 (build 68228040)

I have used Sonos for years, here is my current set of speakersFour Sonos Play 1’s - only two recognized by Sonos 2 One Sonos 3 One Sonos 5 (Gen 1) - Removed from the system One Sonos 5 (Gen 2) - Not recognized by Sonos 2 One Sub One Playbar One Sonos Connect - Removed from the systemAs the App slowly coached me over to Sonos 2, i was slow to move over and used to old app for some time. At some point I updated my system to Sonos 2 and it advised me at that time that some speakers were not compatible. Namely the Connect and the Sonos 5 (Gen 1). Not all speakers were online at the time i updated. Once done, i am no longer able to run the older application. Would it make sense that the ones not online (had them unplugged for various reasons) are excluded now?I now have two Play 1’s that are not recognized and the Sonos Play 5 (Gen2) is not recognized either. I have resent the Play 5 and still noting. It should work as defined in this article https://support.sonos.com/s/article/4786?langua

Initiating music from the Amazon App and playing on Sonos speaker no longer shows the now playing details on the Sonos app.  Just shows Amazon Alexa.  No HD or Ultra HD symbol showing either.

Hello,I have 2 daughters which both hold a Sonos One in their room. They both want to use the Google Assistant to play their playlist on Spotify.Unfortunately, Google Assistant is using always the same account on both loudspeakers.Is there a way how I can pick and choose the Default Spotify Account?   

Recently the S2 app on my Andriod 11 phone stopped working, showing only blank placeholder screens for every function except speaker firmware update. Uninstalling and re-installing didn’t help. It was apparently insisting that a speaker firmware update was mandatory.However, all earlier versions of the S2 app on my other device continued to work just fine, so I reverted to an older version of the S2 app on my phone, and it worked fine there as well.So apparently this is a new heavy-handed attempt by Sonos to force firmware updates by crippling the app until you comply. Why not just update the firmware? Because then it won’t be the same product that works with my various platforms now - Sonos firmware updates of the past have permanently removed compatibility and functionality and are irreversible. There is no commitment to warn users of this in the release notes, so firmware updates can’t be trusted.

Okay, Im sure this question has been asked before but i cant seem to find a fix/answer at all only somebody saying to set a volume limit (which wont work in this case and ill explain why later on) My Setup: 2 Sonos One speakers either side of our sofa and 2 sonos in-ceiling speakers connected directly to the sonos amp which is connected to my Samsung 75” smart TV using ARC-HDMI Volume levels for following scenario:  1/10 is really quite  and 10/10 is really loud Scenario: Watching TV volume at 5/10 everything is fine. Turn tv off and cook dinner. Ask Alexa to play a song on Spotify on the Sonos ONE (have grouped them so they also play through the ceiling speakers). Volume is now 10/10 and neighbour can hear my music just as well as I can. Volume is so loud it almost punctures your ear drums. Turn the volume down to 5/10 to listen to music during dinner. After dinner you turn the TV on to watch a film and the volume is 1/10 and you cant hear a thing so you turn it up to 5/10 again and n

I was listening to LiveXLive on Sonos and unwittingly clicked the dislike 🛇 icon (as shown in the screenshot below) even though I liked the song.  The station immediately began playing another song.  How can I see what the initial song was?  And how can I reverse my vote from dislike to like for that initial song? For that matter can I see all the songs I have liked (or “hearted”)? Regards,Roel  

Hi I’m thinking of upgrading from a beam to an arc for my tv surround system along with the 2 ones and sub I already have.My question is can I use the beam as a speaker for radio and music in another room or is it only for use as a soundbar ,if so I presume I have to unpair it from the lounge and set up in a different room Thanks in advance Phil

After about an hour there’s no audio and the only way to get it back is to power cycle the arc. Im trying with just the arc.  Sun and surrounds disconnected from room

I’ve been through the factory reset and hard reset protocols and I can’t get it to turn on.  I have both the charging base and a USB-C charger and have tried multiple configurations of charging and button push-and-hold, all to no avail.  This happened once before and eventually I found a fix online but as of now I cant get anything to work.  I’m going to try Sonos support as well but as we’re going into the weekend I figured turning to the Forum might be my best bet.  Really want to have it working again before Memorial Day (Monday) here in the US.  Has anyone had a similar experience and found a fix?

Hi.Are there Finnish users online?  Through which online radio service have you found YLE local radio channels?Has Yle (Finnish Proadcasting Co) local/areal channel been taken away from offering of the online-service providers? You have any idea?SonosRadio has not been broadcasting YLE programs for a long time, but now they have disappeared as well from other internet radio providers I have used.I understand that the problem is related to the fact that YLE is not a commercial operator but a Finnish state-owned production company.Regards

Has anybody else been experiencing delivery delays for the Roam? I ordered the green one as soon as it was available on May 11, and still haven’t received a tracking number or any confirmation that it has been shipped (despite the status showing as shipped for a couple weeks now online). I’ve spoken to customer service at least 4 times, and on 2 separate occasions a was told that it would be shipped out and overnighted to me the very next day. I’ve asked each customer support rep to send me follow up emails confirming what we discussed (including a 10% discount for the delivery delays) but that hasn’t happened. I never received an email that the order was even delayed, and it hasn’t shown as backordered online since I first ordered it. I was told there were issues with an internal system update and a backlog of orders, but I haven’t seen any other recent record of this online. 

Does anyone else feel like they are getting ripped off by Sonos.  I bought many products just a few years ago and now they have a new Sonos 2 app that is requiring I buy all new products (at a pathetic discount) in order to use their system?  AND… to top it off, they have you return your equipment to them so that they can, no doubt, refurbish and resell at a premium.  I LOVED my sonos, but then I went to buy a new Sonos Roam for my wife for Mother’s Day.  That is when I learned that I can’t have the S1 app and Sonos 2 app work together… nope… I basically need to upgrade all of my perfectly fine equipment (soundbar, sub, play 5, connect) just to move to a new Sonos 2 app????  WHAT an EPIC ripoff. I am glad there are new competitors in this space. Sonos lost a customer and everyone I know that I used to tell sonos about, will get an updated email from me.  I feel completely ripped off!

Music, movies, nothing is using my surrounds + sub.Sound is only coming from the Arc. Seriously? What the hell is going on? Why do I have a $2,000 home theater setup that can be broken by idiotic software engineers at Sonos? Edit: called support and they restarted my system from their end. Everything appears to be working for now...

Hi, this is to continue the discussion on the previous topic which was closed.Does anyone has news on this? The issue persists on my system, since the launch of Atmos Music on Sonos & Amazon last December.To reproduce the issue:On Sonos Beam Gen 2 or Sonos Arc with Amazon Music account; Select a Station from Amazon Music that has a mix of Atmos and HD/Ultra HD tracks, e.g., Today's Hits; Start playing and DON'T skip songs (be patient!); If, by chance, the first track is Atmos, it'll play fine; Wait until an Atmos track starts playing after an Ultra HD or HD track; The volume will be so low that you can't barely listen to it; Tap the pause button; Tap the play button; The Atmos track will resume playing at the normal volume; If, by chance, the next track is also Atmos, it'll play fine; Return to step 5 (the issue will always happen).I have opened a ticket with Sonos support in December, but no solution until now 

Hello everyone,at the moment i have 1x Sonos Beam and 1x Sonos One connected in a group.When we watch TV the sound can sound a bit hollow to listen to. True tone is setup on both devices.Can anyone explain how this comes and how to fix this?

Hi. I'm hoping you can help with a question. I have a LG Nanocell TV with a magic remote serial number akb75855501.I'm thinking about getting the new Ray soundbar. Will the remote work with the Ray? I can't work out if it is IR as well as wireless.Thanks very much.

I have the newest Sonos amp powering 6 Sonance Satellite speakers around my pool. I have an outdoor projector I would like to occasionally use and was hoping I could use the RCA inputs to connect for sound. My projector has the headphone outlet that came with an adapter that splits from the small (3.5 I think) output on the back of the projector to the red and white RCA plugs. I plugged those directly into the red/white RCA inputs on the Sonos Amp and tried to use the "line-In" option from my Sonos app on my phone, but am getting no sound. Is there a way for me to do this?   

Diag 544821608 When watching Netflix on my shield I get skips like it changes audio codec

I have a play 5 connected directly to my PC audio out port. There seems to be major latency between when I test sound in windows and when the speaker outputs sound. Once the speaker catches up, then it works as it should in real-time.I use this in my office and it constantly stops working in the middle of meetings until I start mashing the sound icon volume up/down until windows dings and I can hear people again.Any help would be great.

Is there a way to get the outdoor speaker serial number without having to take it down/unmount? Thanks! 

I have an Arc for the front of the theatre with a sub woofer.I also have a pair of in ceiling architectural speakers in the rear ceiling. These are also sort of in the kitchen area as the room isn’t that large.The pair of rears are connected to an amp so i can have the full 5.1 but i was wondering if i wanted the rear pair to just play music as a zone of audio like the rest of the house is it easy to switch between the rears being music zone only to then be a part of the 5.1I didn’t think i needed to buy a second amp for one pair but maybe in the Sonos app / settings it’s just switching there? 

I have a turntable for about 6 months I am having issues with the sound being muted or muffled, especially vocals on my records. Are there any setting on the Sonos 5 that need to be adjusted to clear up the sound quality? Could it be the needle on the turntable?

Any info on what the fixes are for this?  I want to play my Moves outside but not if it means resets and frustrations once the battery passes 50%
