I have the Fire HD 7 4th generation using OS 5.6.8.0..Sonos S2 App is not supported. What can I do if anything?

Hi all - I just purchased a vacation home & want to:Set up 3 new speakers at my new locationUse the same App & services already established in my primary residence, to control the new speakers.WIFI network & name will be distinctDo I set up the speakers as new, or connect to existing system?I do not want separate accounts & I DO want to be able to access the services already set up for this.Thanks for the help.

I'm having a wired SonosNET setup. (playbar is wired). The sub, 4 ONE's and the PORT are not wired, but will strengthen the SonosNET mesh setup (i was told)As I still encounter an occasional drop out (Wifi is on channel 1, SonosNET is on channel 11), I'm wondering if it would help to also wire the PORT….or to purchase an additional BOOST.In case a BOOST is suggested, should I then wire this one? Or will it also strengthen the SonosNET being wireless?Thanks upfront for your suggestions.

I was given instructions yesterday on how to do a wireless setup since my bridge stopped working.  I followed the prompts on the app but when I entered the password for Netgear 53 it said it was not correct.  I know this is the correct password so I tried again.  The 3rd time I decided to change my Netgear password but it is still saying incorrect password.  Do I need to call Sonos?  I did yesterday and the rep was not knowledgeable at all.  Is there a trick to getting through to someone who can really help me?  They had great customer service when they were a new company.  Thank you.

My system is setup on a 2021 LG 77CX - using hdmi e-arc input & hard wired to Wi-Fi. The system was set up with true play and seem to have worked as designed. when watching movies thru Netflix/prime tv including Dolby digital rarely if ever do I hear sound effects from the two rear speakers. any suggestions?

Why is it such a d***dance to connect to everything.  I am $5K in to this product and love it after it takes an month to set it up.   The Roam and trying to connect to bluetooth has ruined one raod trip hotel party and 2 golf games.  Stop trying to be cute and innovate and just do what every other speaker does on the market and connect to bluetooth with a simple button.  Seriously, its f*****g annoying how much work it takes to get your product to work.  I have bought everything in the line up and love the sound quality when it works but it is serioulsy a 12/10 on the D**dance scale to connect to it at any given time Less getting cute on trying to get us to pay for radio stations and put all of the focus on R&D doing the simple things to make your premium priced speakers work without the hassle that you haven’t worked through If you have 5 pages of FAQ’s on how to solve problems then clearly you haven’t got there yourselfBe better please, I’m a huge fan and invested heavily Moderat

Hi, I have a consistent issue when steaming music from Spotify to my Sonos play1 speakers. I set music to play and after a little while Spotify disconnects from the speaker so I can no longer pause the music or skip songs. The music continues play but I just can’t control it as Spotify reverts to listening on ‘This phone’. I can usually reselect the speaker as the device and it will pick up the song that is playing and allow me to control it again.   This is very frustrating, has anyone experienced the same issue and able to suggest a suitable resolution? 

Due to limited space on laptop, my music library is on a desktop that is always on (but not always plugged into a monitor).  I have a SONOS One (original no Alexa)I’m finding that playing songs from my library is really hit and miss.   Some days it will play ok, then others it says it can’t find my music library.  Even if I plug my DT into a monitor, it says it can’t find the music library and refuses to play.  If I decide to play from Amazon music, it plays OK.I’ve even tried to play from OneDrive, but SONOS doesn’t really like it.I’ve just done an update and it’s now decided it doesn’t want to play again and I’m getting really frustrated with this system that I’m thinking of getting rid and getting a speaker so I can play directly from iTunes.Does anybody have any ideas what I can do, before this speaker gets thrown out of the window! TIA

I noticed that my 2 plat ones in the bedroom were flashing last night at about 3.30am (mosquito kept  me up). This morning my surround setup of beam + 2 one SLs isn’t working. The beam is connected to the TV via HDMI and is OK, but the surrounds cannot even be seen by the app (Android & up to date). I have rebooted and reset everything - the app finds the surrounds with support>find missing products and adds them as a stereo pair, but when I try and add them as surround I get an error.What can I do? Everything was fine yesterday - there were no power outages and my network & WiFi all work fine with various devices.

Dear Community I own a 5.1 Sonos System including the new Sonos Arc. I got my Arc some months ago, and firstly it worked absolutely flawless. But lately I'm having some troubles with my System. My Sonos App keeps telling me that it’s unable to connect to my setup. Now if I disconnect the Sub and the two Surrounds and set up a new System with just the Arc and the Sub it works completely fine. But if i add the two surrounds to the setup again it works for some hours but then the same problem pops up again. I tried restarting every Products, restarted the router and set the arc back to factory settings, but nothing helps.Maybe someone has had the same issue, everything helps :D

Hi,I am trying to figure out how I can use sonos (and also which sonos devices) using it both as audio output for my beamer and to listen to music from a DVD/CD player and stream from a smartphone.I will basically have a TV and a Beamer as outputs:TV : Video & Audio output (HDMI) - using the TV speaker as audio output Beamer: Video output (HDMI) - the Audio which goes to the beamer should always go to the Sonos SetupI want to do the following setup using an HMDI Matrix 4x2:Inputs: Apple TV DVD/CD Player TV Box Computer or Gaming setupOutputs:TV (Video & Audio) Beamer (Video) - Audio to Sonos Setup (coaxial or optical)The idea was to get the sounds from a pair of Sonos One (or One SL?). But maybe I also require more equipment. Anyone could help?Setup IdeaI am not sure how I can make all this equipment work together and don’t really know what to use form Sonos. I would also like to avoid latency in the audio while watching a movie.I also have ductwork (empty tubes) going from my

It’s extremely annoying, not using S2 because it isn’t compatible and now it seems they’re trying to force me to buy a new product ? Maybe someone can inform me otherwise  

Re this message from WD-Western Digital has an important announcement for registered My Book Live or My Book Live Duo customers.Immediately disconnect your My Book Live device from the Internet to protect your data from ongoing attacks. You can disconnect the device and continue to access your data locally by following these instructions on our Knowledge Base.Some My Book Live devices connected to the Internet are being compromised by attackers and in some cases, the attackers have triggered a factory reset that appears to erase all data on the device.This happened to me, erased my music collection. So wondering:is it ok to directly connect wd mybooklive to sonos bridge (yes i know old device etc.). Tried this and sonos seems to find it. But any security implications re sonos and my PC etc? can I use USB with BT router instead and again is this secure?Thank you anyone?

Hello.  We are buying a new house that has 3 sets of speakers each connected to Sonos amps.  Each set of speakers is in a different area of the house.  We would like to buy a Sonos arc and connect it to the TV in the living room.  Is it possible to wirelessly connect the sound coming from the TV into the Sonos arc to the amps so the TV sound is broadcast to the speakers in the other rooms of the house.  I think the answer is yes, but wanted to make sure before we make the decision to order the Arc.   Thank you!

As the topic title suggests, can I authorise multiple SSID for the Move and Roam? I live on a large property that has one network, but with my main router in a large shed with one SSID, an access point in the detached house with another SSID and two direction access points outside, each with their own SSIDs. Often when I am working in the grounds, I use the Move and Roam and the coverage changes depending on where I am. At the moment the house SSID is registered in the Sonos app, but it would be good if the Move and Roam could switch to other SSIDs as strength dictates. Please don’t suggest that I make all the SSIDs the same, as this does not help me to manually shift connections when devices (often) don’t let go of a weaker signal in favour of a better one.

I have Sonos in several rooms but have only used it to watch TV or listen to Apple Music. I recently added two Moves for my backyard and love them. I now want to add a projector and 120” screen and would really like to play the audio through the Move speakers. Is there a way to get audio from the projector to the Moves, either through the app or Bluetooth? The source for the projector will likely be a Tivo Mini, Xbox, or Roku connected by HDMI. The only thing I could come up with was to connect my Arc in the family room to the projector to get audio on Sonos and then group the Moves with the Arc. I could then turn the volume all the way down on Arc and up on the Moves. That feels way too convoluted and I’m hoping someone here can steer me to something simpler.

If I experience a power cut my sub and surrounds do not reconnect to WiFi,  I have to plug into router and re do the set up process. This has now happened twice and is a complete pain, all my other Sonos products reconnect fine.

The Sonos S2 app loses access to my wireless speakers. Rebooting the router works, however, using the app the next day all access to the speakers is lost and I have to reboot the router again. The only things that have changed recently is that I have moved to Sonos S2 app and have upgraded to iOS14.4 (and yesterday to iOS14.5). The version of the S2 app is 13.0.5, build 62.1.88070. The problem only started happeningwithin the last week, which is when 13.0.5 was installed.

Is anyone else getting the error message when trying to set up their Sonos One?“Something came up. The application has cancelled the request to choose a device.”I recently moved house and tried to connect my Sonos and this keeps popping up.Old house had no problems and i’ve never seen this message before.I am on a new Wifi system.What i’ve done so far:Factory reset the Sonos. The app recognises the Sonos One Begins to try and find Wifi and shows a Wifi i’ve never seen before (See image below)and if I click it, the error message pops up.I have tried on both the Sonos S1 app and the Sonos S2 app.I think it may be an issue with my phone? As I have a OnePlus. Typing the error message into Google comes up with a few OnePlus issues.Any idea on how to fix this? 

I am planning to return my Sonos Beam as it does not meet my needs.  I look forward to finding the right Sonos product in the future.I cannot factory reset my beam.  If I follow instructions by unplugging the Beam power and then holding in the infinity button, the white light pulses slowly about 12 times, quickly flashes white and then starts flashing white again until it is solid white.  I never see an orange/white flash.  I’ve done this about 15 times with no success.  I’ve tried unplugging it for up to 1 or 10 minutes, pressing infinity and then plugging it in all while still holding in the button - all ways are not successful.  I am following instructions perfectly.

Hi all. Current set up = Beam,Sub and pair 1’s in living room.   I'm getting a Connect amp with a pair of passive outdoor speakers for alfresco area. Can I group the alfresco speakers to the living room, so I can listen to football when out there. I’m hoping I don’t have run cables from the amp to the tv.  Cheers

Hi all,after extensive reading in the board I learned a lot but still couldn’t solve my problem. After more than a month trying I failed very frustrating.  my set up: Fibre, apple time capsule (optional), Beam, One, 2x play:1, Apple TV i moved to a new home and only the built-in 5Ghz wifi of the router yields the right internet speed. So I am ok to cut out my ATC. i connected the One to the 5Ghz nut the beam does not want to move over. Even when plugging in via Ethernet, which I only can run temporary as the router sits in a storage room.  my questions:Is it possible to use the Beam as hub for the 2x play:1 which are intended to sit in a different room though? How to set up Beam correctly? would a Sonos Boost solve my 5Ghz problem? thank you in advance,Hannes

I am trying to use my sonos one and my sonos move with lg cinebeam projector..the sonos move works great but i cant get thesonos one to join.  Is there a way to make this work

I’m like this close to returning all four speakers. I have had these speakers connected for 24 hours and nothing will play from iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, and Plex*. I had one song play from Plex. Now I’m stuck in a never-ending authorization loop for Plex.  I have discovered that turning my home mains electric off is much more efficient, but I have to ask why can’t the software restart stuck processes? Very disappointing, Sonos.

I am planning to connect 3 pairs of speakers to a single Sonos Amp (2 pairs of in-ceiling speakers and 1 pair of outdoor speakers).  Is it possible to listen to music on a single pair of speakers without having the other two pairs playing music?  Thanks in advance.
