Hi,I've recently come across this issue where Spotify doesn't crossfade into the next song, I checked settings in the Sonos app and crossfade button doesn't do anything. I also checked the Spotify app settings and the crossfade is greyed out. But when I go through the Spotify app to change to play from 'current device' the crossfade in the Spotify app does work but greys out again when I want to play music from the Sonos speakers. I have checked for updates on both apps Does anyone know a work around?Thank you

my Windows 10 controller say “cannot connect to your  system” then I click on from the pull down menu to “connect to an existing system”  after about 2 minutes of circling, it says that “I am now connected to your system”  with a check mark.  When I click on “done”, it just goes back to the “cannot connect to you system page”  without showing the main screen. My system works fine from my android devices.  

I cannot get our PlayBar to connect to the our 2 Play:1’s for surrounds. This is the only thing we cannot get working. After doing some research I see that the PlayBar uses 5 ghz band to setup the surround sounds, I think this is my problem.We moved into an apartment complex that doesn’t allow any internet connections inside of the apartments. I don’t have a router (in my apartment) and I don’t have any internet plan with any company. Instead the apartment complex turns their fiber connection into a wifi connection that is available all over the apartment building complex. I have my own password for both the 2.4 ghz and the 5.0 ghz bands. But, I’m pretty sure that the two different bands are actually two different connections with the way they have it set up but I could be wrong on this. The band names are recognized as different networks and are named separately2.4 Band SSID is OasisResident2.4 Band SSID is OasisResident_5ghzWhat I Have TriedFactory reset everything at this point mult

Hello everyone, I need the specialists fo this forum I have a Sonos Arc + TV LG OLEDG1, when I watch a series (with Dolby Atmos sound) on Netflix or Amazon Prime I have “Dolby Atmos” on the Arc, everything is fine but when I play an MKV file (via integrated LG player or via Plex) things go bad, 2 cases:- if the sound is encoding in "EAC3 Dolby Digital Plus with Dolby Atmos" it’s ok I have “Dolby Atmos” on the Arc soundbar (the Sonos app show me “Dolby Atmos” on the screen).- if the sound is encoding in "MLP FBA Dolby TrueHD with Dolby Atmos" it’s not ok I have "Dolby 5.1 multichannel PCM" which is displayed on the Sonos app (see screenshot) and not Dolby Atmos as in all other cases.Any idea of ​​this problem?Thank you and sorry for my english Nicolas 

Hello,is the hdmi cable included with sonos beam gen2 an hdmi 2.1 cable?Excuse me if i sound wierd but judging from my other hdmi 2.1 cables which are very thick braided cables, seeing how flexible and thin is the hdmi of sonos beam gen2 make me think this is an hdmi 2.0 cable. I have this concern because very rarely my sonos beam gen2 loses the sound output of my pc. I have an lg cx oled as a pc monitor and i have set the audio to passthrough and enabled earc so all the settings are correct. Is it possible that this cable doesnt have enough bandwith to transfer the audio?Thanks a lot.

Hello.I have Sony KD-55XE8505 and Sonos Beam gen1. It works fine, when I play music from Spotify and after turning on my TV, the sound imminently switches automatically without any problem. But very often when I turn on my TV, the TV starts to use internal speakers. (it looks like first used per day). And also in TV settings selected "internal speakers" (previous session was with Sonos and "sound system" in settings), when I change it to "sound system" - sound disappears. The remote control can change volume value but there is no sound. Return to "internal speakers" in settings returns sound to internal speakers. But if I disconnect and connect Sonos HDMI cable, sound imminently starts working on Beam. Not so cool every time reconnect cable :( Sonos Beam and TV and Wi-Fi router all the time plug to power. (TV with Android and seems to me never turn off, just sleep mode.) Maybe someone has advice, how I can fix this problem? Thank you. 

The lift lever doesn’t make contact with the tonearm tube so it basically isn’t functioning - any ideas? is there an adjustment that is needed? I just received the turntable today so it is new.

Hi all, I am a big Sonos user - several pieces - but gutted today that for some strange reason, my sub has completely ‘died’? There is no power lights showing.  It’s clearly not showing on my system.  I have moved to different power sockets, checked the cable is properly plugged in but it simply seems to have stopped working, actually just stopped turning on? I’ve had this sub for about 2 years, an expensive purchase to suddenly fail on its own accord. any ideas? Am I missing something obvious….before I contact Sonos etc. s

I have four speakers, three are The One (Gen 1) and one is The One (Gen 2). All three Gen 1’s stopped working completely where the Gen 2 works just fine. The Gen 1’s powers on, they just will not connect to WIFI. If I connect it via cat5, it works perfectly. But in the same location it’s been working, nada.  When I try to connect my iPhone or iPad to update the network settings, it doesn’t work either. Says I cannot connect to the SONOS network. But the Gen 2 still works. If I try to reconnect or add a new device, the Gen 1’s don’t work either. Any help would be incredible. Thank you.

So, I have two Sonos Play:1s and 1one gen2. They are synced to provide music (via Tune-in radio) throughout the house but I find they frequently drop out and I have to restart the app. This also some=times happens if I am streaming spotify (premium) Wifi is working and available because I can see the signal and access internet. There are no other significant bandwidth drains one the network at the time (e.g. no TV or other video streaming). Anyone got any ideas please as it is annoying. Thanks

I set up an alarm to play music from Spotify, but randomly some times, it plays a chime instead of music. I submitted a diagnostic, is that’s helpful.  340867373

Having just bought the Beam (Gen 2), I have it all up and running connected to WiFi and able to play audio through the app like any other speaker.I'm trying to connect it to my TV to work as intended as a soundbar. I go through the couple of steps informing me to plug the HDMI into the ARC port of my TV and into the back of the soundbar, and then the next instruction is "Connecting...". From here, nothing happens. I've waited 30 minutes with no change. I've reset my app, unplugged the soundbar and reconnected it with no joy.Could anybody help me work out how to get it fixed? The TV is 6 years old, but has an ARC HDMI port so I assume I shouldn't be having any issues.

I’ve read articles that say it does and doesn’t have support for HomeKit. Not AirPlay… HomeKit. They’re not the same thing. 

I have a Play:1 stereo pair that has stopped working when a new One SL is powered on and I’m playing to “everywhere.” When I do this, the Sonos app on all devices reports that the stereo pair is playing, but there is no audio on the stereo pair. While music is playing to all other speakers, I can play different music to the stereo pair, but I cannot play the same music everywhere unless I unpair the two speakers. if I unpair the two speakers, they work fine.This problem goes away for a while if I power down the SL, get music started everywhere, then power up the SL. When I perform this process, music stops at all speakers and the app loses contact with the Sonos cluster for a while before I can get music going.  The pair works for a few hours after I do this.I have filed diagnostic report 1008105106 because wow, fascinating…. 

I have. 5 Sonos One devices around the house.  They suddenly all showed offline.  After trying a number of things, I ended up completely eliminating all devices from Alexa, disabled the Sonos skill, hard reset every Sonos. I confirmed that there were not Sonos devices or groups set up in Alexa.All of my Sonos devices are back online.  I have linked music services and they all operate. Or rectory through the Sonos app.  HOWEVER, Alexa Voice will not activate on any of the devices.  When I choose the device, then log in to Amazon, it attempts to load voice on the device.  This is where it stops.  I get an error that says “!  There was a Problem”.   help?

I was finally able to get my S1 speakers working on the S1 app while also being  able to use the S2 app with newer equipment. Problem is they are not in sync- maybe 3 seconds apart. I have tried closing and restarting both apps and have tried different music services. Any advice?

What's up folks?I have an existing Sonos system throughout my home. A couple Play:5s and few Sonos Ones throughout. About a year ago I decided to build a vintage HiFi system. I want to integrate the two systems, so I'm considering picking up a Port. Anyway, long story short, all the line level inputs on my preamp are currently being used. I want to upgrade my cd player and I'm considering a dedicated transport only player (no on board DAC). My question is, since I only have one AUX input, can I connect the Port to my AUX input on my preamp then connect a transport only CD player to the Port. Effectively killing two birds with one stone. Adding streaming to my HiFi system while simultaneously using the port as a DAC for the CD transport? Will this work?Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time,Kyle

Beam Gen 2 attachment to LG C1 will not allow other connections-ie optical as use of any alternative results in 2 second switch back to Beam and disconnection with optical. 

Hi, I recently replaced my router with a new one and hence new network. I now cannot access any key Sonos settings – Account, System, Services & Voice are all greyed out. This means naturally that I cannot connect to my Beam.Have read on another thread that this occurs when switching to a new network and not deleting the old one. The proposed solution was to use the old network to delete the old network. However, this is not an option available to me as the previous network has been shut by the operator.What can I do?

I have a 2021 The Frame TV and have a Playbar connected via an optical cable to the One Connect box. Previous setup was a different Samsung TV and everything else was the same.  My issue comes when I’m watching Apple TV(4K 2nd gen) with this setup.  On the streaming apps I use(Netflix, Hulu, Prime, etc...), it’s a flip of a coin whether or not I will get audio when I click on the video I want to stream.  I can hear the audible noise from the bar when I am moving from app to app or title to title within the apps.  But once I click on the selection, many times, there is no audio.  I have to go back into the app, move across other streaming selections(without clicking), still hear the audible noise when moving across them.  Then I click back on my selection and try again.  It usually takes 3-4 times before the audio kicks back in and then its good for that particular stream.  Pause the video?  Its back to the coin flip on getting audio or not.  When there is no audio, the white volume ind
