For weeks now whenever I tune into a podcast through Sonos, I get just an endless stream of advertisements, often repeating the same one minute string. I've tried signing out and re-authorizing and resetting and everything and nothing helps. What's going on? Anyone else of this issue? It is rendering my system useless.

I have many Sonos speakers at a home site.  Around 50.  They are split between two systems.  THe internet at this place is using Omada TP Link.  They are constantly experiencing dropouts on the sonos speakers or music just stops altogether.  Sonosnet really isn’t an option as most speakers are in home theater setups, or they are the new era speakers.  I have assigned each speaker a static IP and on all the managed switches enabled STP not RSTP, and MGMp snooping.  Now, I know enough about this stuff to be dangerous, but so far my tricks havent helped much.  Any help?  Do i assing the speakers to a specific nearest AP next.  Very frustrating.

I plan to use Sonos amp to drive my JBL l100 MKII speaker, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate and if it can fully utilize the speaker's capabilities.Do you have any friends with experience in this area? Please advise.

Does this exist, if not can Sonos please make it. I would love to be able to save specific room settings  like base and surround volume. I like different settings when listening to different types of music. Would love to be able to save settings so I don’t have to constantly adjust.  

Hi folks. I'm new to Sonos and by turn the community. I have a Beam gen 2 and mini sub. The speech enhancement keeps switching off. I've read a community thread from a year ago discussing the same issue with the Arc ultra. That didn't appear to have been remedied. Has anyone got any further info/ideas about how to fix this.  TIA.  Jay. 

Actually, I should not be shocked that there is no way to remove a speaker, or in my case a Sonos Connect.  After all, this is Sonos!  I have a pair of Era 100 speakers arriving today, and was planning on setting them up in my living room, using the same name as the Connect -- “Living Room”.  I just read in several threads you have to wait until they just drop off from the network.  That is insane! While we’re on the subject, whoever named these speakers “Era” should be fired!  Sounds like “Error”! If Sonos did not make such great sounding speakers, I would have dumped them years ago!

What's the best practice to connect the audio of a cable set top box to the ERA100 Pro for TV sound?

Can someone help me understand why apple music sounds so much better on my sonos devices when played through the sonos app than via my apple tv?

Hey,I have finished the trueplay setup using borrowed IPhone for my Beam Gen2 +Sub Mini+2 Era 100s.  Now I want to disable the trueplay for sometime and enable it later.. I remember it was possible with previous versions of sonos app, is there anyway I can get it done with current version of sonos app on andriod phones.Appreciate any hints!!

Hi.Have a sonos beam gen 2 and sub mini. Sometimes listen to sonos radio. The problem is after a short while it stops playing. If I try and restart all it says is, couldn't play content try again Have tried reseting my phone, unplugging the beam gen 2 which means I have to reconnect to my network but still the same. Have now done this more than once but still the same.Both the Beam Gen 2 and sub mini are less than 3 months old. Would be greatful of any suggestions or recommendations. ThanksEddie

My Sonos move is plugged in, connected via Bluetooth to my Spotify app on my phone. When i press any button on my speaker, it responds but there is no sound no matter what i do. Any help will do. Hope is not a hardware issue.

I used to have a Cocktail Audio X10 device connected as my Sonos Music Library to stream my 50,000+ tracks. This stopped working some while ago and I believe it is to do with it using SMBv1.Since then I have connected the X10’s back-up 2TB drive and connected it via a USB hard drive bay and set it as a share and then mapped it to Sonos as my Music Library. Two days ago this worked, but it was my back-up drive that was out of date I wanted to use the actual X10 drive. I removed this, set up the share and defined it to Sonos. Nothing, it does not seem to recognise it even though it is shared and defined correctly. Tried back to the back-up drive and that does not work now either. The only thing that does work is if I define the music directory on my laptop, which only has a few albums in it..Any suggestions to resolve gratefully accepted as I currently am unable to listen to all my  music. 

Ive tried everything - hold power for 20 sec - hold play - press & release power hold on for everALL YOUTUBE VEDIOSNOTHING while charging there is an orange light.Do I need a funeral?

With tvOS 26 on Apple TV 4K can I connect a Sonos soundbar via Airplay instead of HDMI? Thanks,Tom

Hi, I am having an issue with my Sonos Ace when listening to some music - very distinctly happens in the right ear (extremely subtle) but there is definitely some buzzing/distortion. Anyone think that there could be a hardware issue? I tried turning off ANC, and also plugged the headphones in as well and the issue still persists.

I know there are a lot of forum responses on this - but what is the fix for Apple Music not wanting to play consistently from within the Sonos S2 app?? I rrauthorize daily and it still is very sensitive if I can get it playing at all. In addition, the AirPlay says it’s unable to connect as well. I have Sonos Arc, amps, Five etc and most recent software. 

Does any one know of a compatible EU USB-C wall adapter for the move 2 charging dock?   i bought a move 2 in the USA last week and took it home to Germany and unfortunately none of my adapters are working with it (lights blinking red).  I contacted Sonos sales and they said they don’t sell them and linked me buy an entire new base for 80 euros. Which is insane to me. I Was very disappointed with their customer care.    so can somebody tell me what wall plug I could buy that would be compatible with the charging dock?   I’ve already tried apples with no luck.

The Sonos voice audio response is so loud and out of sync with the level of music that we are playing. I see some other posts from quite a while ago discussing this and they are closed for further comment so I’m posting a new one.I just got our second era 100 So our children could use the built-in voice control to play music so that I don’t have to give them screen devices to control it. However, The Sonos voice response is so loud it practically shakes the walls. It’s obnoxious and I’m about to turn off voice control, and that basically makes the whole use case useless.is there a solution for this? 

For the past few days I have been unable to pay music from Amazon Music on any of my Sonos speakers. I get an error: “Can’t play “song name”. It’s encoded at unsupported sample rate 3145728000 Hz.”I have tried removing and adding AMZN service. I have the latest App and Firmware updates. (This was happening before and after most recent app update) My AMZN service is working fine on other devices. I have powered off/on each speaker. I have powered off/on my phone and even restarted my Internet connection.Has anyone had this issue and been able to resolve? I have searched the FAQs and community and haven’t found anything recent on encoding errors that look like what I’m seeing. Screen grab attached. 

I recently purchased a Brennan B2 with the idea of using it as a whole house music system.  I have connected the Brennan to my receiver to use in one room through the connected speakers, but I was hoping to connect to my Era 100 speakers to use in the rest of my house. The Brennan and speakers are on the same Wi-Fi network but my Brennan doesn’t see the speakers at all. I’ve checked the Wi-Fi signal strength and by Brennan’s requirements, it is good. Is there something that I need to do to get it to find the speakers or is there something I can do to get the streaming function to work? I can stream internet radio on the Sonos so it’s working with my Wi-Fi but not with the Brennan. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. 

After every two or three songs (on Apple Music+ in the Sonos app) the Atmos badge still disappears around 20 seconds into the song. The music reverts to normal stereo.I have frequently called customer service and gone through all the diagnostic steps, restarting etc. I also created a topic on this community page. Sadly after more than 6 months nothing has changed. The topic was even closed for further discussion. I know there are quite a few other Sonos owners with exactly the same problem, and wonder when there finally will be a solution to this extremely irritating and embarassing (when friends come over) situation. 

I have used VLC to create an M3U playlist of 10 songs from my NAS, Sonos can see the playlist and will allow me to put the playlist on the queue (I’m using the PC controller) but the queue shows the songs in a weird format and if I try to play them I get a message saying the share //192.168.50.90/multimedia does not exist. This is weird because that address is the one that the Sonos music library folder is attached to in settings.The first few lines of the M3U are below:-#EXTM3U#EXTINF:176,10cc - Good Morning JudgeCds2/10cc/Deceptive%20Bends/Good%20Morning%20Judge.flac#EXTINF:169,10cc - Honeymoon With B Troop.flacCds2/10cc/Deceptive%20Bends/Honeymoon%20With%20B%20Troop.flac The songs appear on the queue as Good%20Morning%20Judge.flac and Honeymoon%20With%20B%20Troop.flac Anybody any ideas what’s wrong. All i Wanted to do was use an easier program to create a playlist of my own music and then be able to play that in Sonos.

Sonos One microphone button does not respond  

Hey everyone,I recently got a Sonos Era 100 and overall I really like it – great bass for the size and a pleasant sound.But I’ve noticed two things: The highs sound a bit muffled compared to the mids and lows, even after running Trueplay. It feels like the left tweeter is slightly weaker than the right, especially when I run left/right channel tests. Has anyone else experienced the same with their Era 100, or is this just my unit / room placement?I have already replaced the model believing it was a hardware issue 😅Thanks in advance for your feedback 🙏

Hi,I did several tests but I can’t getting rid of an issue. My setup:beam2 + two ERA300 as surrond in one room 2 symfonisks placed in other rooms  amp connected to a turntable and a wired speakers in another roomIf I group music (Apple music, turntable…) everything sounds great. If I group the tv audio from the home theatre (beams2+eras) to any other room, audio comes out from the home theatre alone. From the app point of view the groped rooms are fine, I can adjust volumes etc, but audio don’t comes out.  Any suggestion?
