Hello, I have a Portable Handheld Radio Receiver which has a frequency range 400-470 MHz. I was wondering if it is possible to transmit whatever is playing on the handheld receiver direct to my Sonos One speaker? If so, how?  Also, the channel that I listen to only transmits certain times of the day, is it possible to get it transmit automatically to the Sonos when there is a transmission? Thanks in advance.

Hi I have the sonos app installed on my iPhone and iPad, im selling my iPhone soon and unsure how I should uninstall the sonos app.I see that in the app settings there is something called reset app. If I click this will it remove my system from just the iPhone app, I dont want it removing my system from the iPad. Thanks

Hi,is anyone else getting an access denied when trying to listen to any music application. At first it was only doing it to Sonos radio and now Apple Music and Pandora are giving me the same error. I verify verify the app is updated and so is my system.  Someone else suggested to reauthorize the music apps and it worked. 

Sonos beam and Sonos one not connecting on iPhone 12 but connected on my old IPhone 7. Keeps asking me to reboot my BT home hub which works for a few hours?  do I need to delete the app from iPhone 7 or is it a problem with BT router? 

The Beam google assistant worked fine for a year, but coincidentally around the time I’ve updated the iOS sonos app to v2 I couldn’t use the assistant anymore (I say hey google and get the response in the title of this post). I’ve managed to fix it twice by going through the google assistant and sonos app and reconnecting everything, but next day it comes back to this. Tried to uninstall the sonos app v2 and use the v1 again, but it can’t connect to it, probably because sonos v2 had installed a new firmware to the beam when I first installed it.  is there a permanent fix to this?

Hi all I have an existing Sonos system and the S2 app installed on my iPhone.  For various reasons, I have reset the app on my iPhone, deleted it, reinstalled it and tried to reconnect to my existing system. The whole process seems to have gone fine, and I now have my S2 app reconnected to the existing Sonos system.  The odd thing is that on completing the reconnection, I got the message, “This feature is not available in store mode”.  No further messages or issues.  Is this just a bug, or is there an underlying issue for me to look at?Thanks   

I am looking at upgrading one of my play 3’s to get 15% off a roam. I know I can continue to use the play 3 but will it still receive updates?

Hi,i’m still very confused about the whole “which can pair with what” here. So i want to buy a Sonos Beam for my living Room (TV). For the garden i want a Roam. I know that i cant pair the Beam and the Roam for Surroundsound when i watch Movies.But can i pair them to play Musik on both devices simultaneously? that i can place the roam in another room and it will play the same music as the beam in the livingroom?Thanks for your answers :-)

[quote]Priya Abani, director of Alexa Voice Service, announced in April 2018 that third-party Alexa-enabled devices will get calling and messaging abilities. In fact, since August 2018, these key Alexa features have been available on Eufy Genie - a third party Alexa-enabled gadget. Sonos, however, remains tight lipped about its plan.[/quote] I received my Beam earlier this week and was really excited. I was planning on purchasing two more for the whole family. I'm so disappointed to find out that key features such as calling, messaging, and drop-in are not supported on Sonos Beam or One. It appears that Sonos has no plans to support these features at all. At first, I thought Amazon refuses to allow third-party gadgets to have these features. But, Eufy Genie, a 3rd-party device with an RRP of only $35 (and on sale for $15 on Amazon at time of this post), supports all these features. I would like to ask a couple of questions: [list] [*]Are these key Alexa features on th

Every so often, my Sonos is unable to connect to bluetooth on any device it was previously paired with. I’ve tried to forget the connection to the Sonos Move and re-pair, but when I hold the button on the back to enter pairing mode, it turns blinking blue without the chime noise and I’m unable to recognize it through any device. All other aspects of the device seem to be working properly except this one. The solution before has been to factory reset, but I would prefer to not reset my device every few months for this reason.

I’m absolutely at the end of my teather with this now. Nothing has changed on my system, both Alexa and the spotify app have no issues connecting to my system, yet the sonos app keeps failing to connect.My new roam arrived today, I opened the app and was met with “unable to connect to sonos - fix it”So I followed the instructions, this included moving a load of furniture to get to the plugs to powercycle the speakers. And then powercycling the router.It then connected, found the roam, and said it should be available in 5 minutes…..15 minutes passed, I opened the app and it guess what, “unable to connect to sonos - fix it”!I almost at that point of just returning the roam and swapping everything else out so a different set-up. How come Alexa and Spotify have no issues connecting to my speakers, yet the sonos app keeps failing!

I bought a Sonos Port specifically to go with a new Denon DP-300F turntable so I could play vinyl through my Play 1 speakers.  I’m taking advantage of the turntable’s built in pre-amp.  The sound is total garbage; tinny, weak and staticky.  I’ve changed the pre-amp setting on the turntable just to be sure I have it in the right position.  The other setting produces no sound at all through the Sonos system.  The speakers sound great playing music streaming services.  It is just the Port with the turntable that sounds terrible.  Any suggestions to improve this?

Why can I not see the playlists I have created on my PC on my Android phone?

I pre-ordered Roam weeks ago then was emailed about 10 days ago that my card failed. I spent hours on the phone firstly with Sonos and then with my bank and their fraud department and established nothing was wrong with my card whatsoever there is more than enough money available and was told by the Sonos agent there had been ‘complaints with your site’ indicating a know problem- therefore last Thursday after another session on the phone you cancelled my original pre-order, placed a new order, ran my card whilst I was on the phone - it was authorised - I had the confirming email, and today I have an new email saying my payment is not authorised again. Clearly you are having problems, clearly they are not resolving. I’ve been buying your products for years and therefore a repeat customer and find this situation unbelievable. I can see other similar complaints but that Sonos have chosen to ‘close comments’ to the community posts they don’t like. 

My new Sonos One SL drops off my controller, or stops functioning on the controller like as if it loses signal. It keeps playing with my Beam and Play 1 in the other room, but at times I can’t change the volume until it finds the system again on the app. Or like just now, I go to listen to music on the One SL and it’s not on the app, unlike my Beam or Play 1. They’re only in a room next to one another, and the room that the SL is in, does not have signal issues for any other devices like an Echo Dot, mobile phones, or laptops etc.All the devices are wireless. This is happening daily.

I have 2x Sonos Ones in a Stereo Pair in the kitchen, its only a small room so 3.5m x 3.5m and it sounds good but I am looking to expand the Sonos system to upstairs and I am thinking of moving the One’s upstairs and splitting them so I have one in the master bedroom and one in the guest bedroom to maximise sound.I have been reading online and it says the Stereo pairing is really designed for home theatre so presumably I would better off splitting the Ones separately and sticking one in each bedroom? Bedrooms are 3.5m x 5m each.Would probably look at getting a Sonos Move for the Kitchen which we can take into the garden if needed as kitchen music is not needed all that much. Thanks

Qobuz opened up in Sweden last week and I have an account. But Qobuz music service is not available in Sonos setup. Any thoughts?

Hello all,I’m converting most of my home away from Chromecast / Chromecast audio (too unstable), and I’m  not certain which (if any) components to keep from my existing HT / Surround system. Most of the time we listen to music in multi-channel stereo.The room in question is about 900 square feet (20’ wide x 45’ deep) with 20’ cathedral ceilings.Currently I have a 7.0 system including:Denon AVR-X2300W L/R: B&W CM-1 (vintage floorstanding speakers) Center: Definitive Mythos 3 Surround L/R and back L/R: Definitive BP2XMy plan is to convert to:Sonos Arc (L/C/R) Sonos AMP to power the definitive surrounds Use the sub out to feed a new external sub (thinking Hsu ULS-15 MK2 or SVS Micro 3000).  Alternatively, if I were to get rid of the Definitive surrounds I’d add Ikea symfonisk table lamps for L/R surround. This would obviate the need for the Sonos AMP, in which case I’d get a Sonos Sub.Questions:Does this seem like it will be a reasonably effective setup for the intended use, or am I l

Hi there,I noticed some tracks on a Sonos Playlist I created some years ago can’t be played anymore. The player would skip them and go directly to next track. I never encountered this issue before. I have my tracks on my personal server which is connected to my Wi-Fi router and my Connect system is also connected to this router. The playlist was created some years ago, before Sonos started to mess up with different controllers. My controller is now called S1. S2, apparently, is not compatible with my Connect. Though I have also a black Amp that would be compatible with S2  but I don’t want to use 2 different controllersOn the other end when I go to directly to my music library and play the tracks directly, outside the playlist, there are no issues.

Hi All, Two issues:I can see and control another resident’s SONOS system without logging in (turn on/off Alarms, Play music etc) but cannot add or remove devices. I cant create my own system or add my own device to the shared WIFI network and can only use the S2 app.I will attempt to explain this as simply as I can - and am seeking a solution.I recently acquired a SONOS Roam and primarily use a homepod based setup within the house. - a mobile Airplay Speaker? yes please!  Perfect for taking out on the back deck.... The problems:I live in an  Government Service residence (we are required to live here for work, and have to comply with the network requirements, and all share the same private network and are not able to introduce new networks into the building. There are approximately 26 apartments with each household being everything from single individuals to families of 5). One of the other residents already has a Sonos System. When I open the S2 App, I can see their entire setup, turn

I’ve had my Beam for about a year and up until a month or so ago, it was working well with Alexa. Now however, for seemingly no reason, Alexa does not respond. The activity light doesn’t activate and no response is given when asking Alexa to do something. The audio from the beam continues to work when using my TV as a source. Troubleshooting steps I have taken:I have followed the steps in the support page here twice. It works after following all the steps but after 24 hours, stops working again.  I have tried to remove all speakers in my setup and re-add them. Again, this works for a short while, maybe 2-3 days before it stops again.I purchased a new router a couple of months ago (ASUS RT-AX82U) and is the only thing I can think of that might be causing this apart from a potential hardware issue on the beam. Has anyone had any similar issues to these?Thanks,Haydn

HiI have a One and One SL set up as surrounds to my Beam which work great.  I want to keep this so that the One/SL kick in with the Beam as they do now when I turn on the TV.But I was wondering whether there is a way to have the One/SL work as a stereo pair (isolated from the Beam) when the TV is off so I can stream from my Android mobile for stereo sound, but then revert to surrounds automatically when the TV is turned on..I know I can do this by ungrouping the One/SL as surrounds and manually set them up as a stereo pair, then changing them back to surrounds when i want to watch TV but i was hoping there was a way to set this up automatically?  Is that what Ungroup on Autoplay would do?Cheers

My Sonos Beam keeps losing the connection from the app and from my Spotify list of devices.The Beam is still connected to WiFi as I am still able to use the Alexa voice control to play music from Spotify or Amazon.To find the Beam again I would have to keep switching off and on the router. The Beam would reconnect with the app again but then the next day would have disappeared again. Very frustrating. It was obvious that something was happening overnight for this to occur again and again.I have since switched off the option for the Beam to check for updates automatically overnight. Since I have done this, the problem of the Beam disappearing from the app and the Spotify list of devices has been solved.So although this solution works, I now have to manually check every now and again for updates. This isn’t ideal and I feel it must have been in an update for this problem to suddenly occur. I had had the Beam for 6 or 7 months with no problem like this at all and my Wifi network at home i

I was a big fan and as I have added to the devices it has become harder to install. The app and the Arc keep forgetting each other and have to go thru a list of questions that show me the Arc then it says not found. The iPhone app does not stay active when the screen times out. Have to log back on the iPhone to mute or unmute it is just easier to use the TV controller. The Arc can not be controlled by the Virgin controller. I will not be buying any more Sonos devices as the whole system has become cumbersome and slow and unreliable.Even registration for this forum asks questions which I answered but the username was not unique and I had to answer them again and then again because I did not acknowledge the terms. It seems unlikely that any of my choices would have changed I. The 5 seconds between attempts. Do they not test S2 and the registration process with real users.

Hi,Have been experimenting to try and understand/resolve the nature of this problem but not able to, so need some help if possible!Have 3 x Play:1s, recently noticed that only a single Play:1 was visible in Mobile App (S2 on Android, Samsung S21). However, I have found that all 3 are visible in Controller App on Windows 10.The speaker that was visible was connected to a BT Smart Disc Extender. If I ensure the mobile phone is connected to the Extender, it doesnt have any impact. If I disconnect the Extender, the speaker disappears completely and Sonos reports no active speakers. However, all 3 remain active in Sonos Controller App on Windows 10.If I connect one Speaker to the router directly via Ethernet, with the Extender still turned off, all speakers come up and are visible in both the Controller App and the S2 app on Mobile.If I then remove the Ethernet cable, the speakers remain connected and visible in both apps for a short period but eventually they all disappear from the Sonos S
