I have a Sonos 5 generation one that I have used with no problem. I bought the new roam and my Sonos app now finds the roam and plays music just fine but the 5 will not connect at all and says it cant be found. My husband is able to play music through the 5, but he didnt add the roam. Thanks

I have had many problems with my Sonos system since I bought it two months ago. Almost daily for the last month all of my devices cannot connect to my system. Typically I can reconnect by power cycling some combination of the router, the modem, and the devices. But now my arc can’t connect. I can get the app to find it, but it loses connection while setting it up. This is ridiculous.  I have an arc connected to my TV, sub Gen 3 and two Sonos one SLs pairs as stereo. I have a Sonos One in another room. It is always something. Thinking about returning if I can. 

I was thinking of installing acoustic panels on the walls to dampen some of the reverb in the room, but I’m afraid this will ruin the Dolby Atmos experience, given the Sonos Arc relies on being able to bounce sound off the walls and ceiling. Would this be the case? Any guidance on this would be appreciated.I have a Sons Arc, a Sub and in ceiling speakers as surrounds.

Hello, tried the chat service which took me to limbo nowhere, so just wondering if Someone here can point me in the right direction.Have a problem with my left channel rca output on my project t1SB, cuts in and out but with jiggling comes back until the next weekend I use it again, bought from Sonos in a set with a five, and I need it replaced who do I deal with? Is it sent back to Sonos or deal with pro-ject?  I know it’s more than likely a bad soldering job on the rca connection internally, and I don’t mind cracking this record player open and repairing instead of waiting who knows how long for a replacement, cause I assume I’d need to send my old one back before I get a replacement. tldr: what’s the warranty on the pro-ject T1 SB bought through Sonos. Is this a Sonos return or project

I have a tunein account since many years and a list of favorites super selected. Why I can't add the tune in account on Sonos as I am able add all my other streaming and music accounts?Now the radios list of my tune in account are different from those in Sonos!

Hi I am building a surround sound set-up from scratch but my priority is invisibility (small children destroy things).My plan is:Arc = Front L/R + CentreAmp = Rear L/R (Sonance In-Wall)Sub = SubFrom reading things on this forum and the Sonos FAQs I think this set-up will work and will be compatible with TruePlay...am I correct?Thanks from a beginner!

I have two rooms that I play music in. All Sonos operations in my Living Room work fine. But, when trying to play music in my upstairs office, when I select THAT room (Green Room), it does not appear to the left under the System heading. It remains Living Room and will play downstairs in that room.I’ve deleted the Sonos Controller preference file and restarted the desktop version of the Sonos Controller but, to no avail. I see the music library in my Music Library/Folders but, once selected… nothing changes. Music will only play to the Living Room. I’ve also deleted and added back in the Green Room music folder.  Apparently my Controller is “Up to Date” version 13.0.

Due to my speakers constantly going missing from the app resulting in a router reboot to find them again, I decided (reluctantly) to invest in a boost. I like almost everything about my Sonos system but since charging to full fibre broadband my system has gone from being occasionally unreliable to unbearably unreliable. Before getting the boost I spent many hours reading all the excellent advice that I found on here and all the relevant Sonos articles. I have switched to Channel 1, 6 then 11. No use at all. Then I decided to try the reserved IP address solution. In the three days since I’ve only rebooted the router once so it has helped.  Oddly the surround speakers seems to ignore the reserved address sometimes and use another one (do they get this from the Beam?). Anyway, after the last reboot (and spending way too long babysitting the system) I cracked and bought the Boost. Ok plug in and ‘add product….’. Nothing found, no response. Waited patiently, tried again and again. Scoured t

It wont connect, tryed to reset but it never stopp flashing orange/white, tryed both wireless and with cable, any clue what to do?

Hi, I’ve recently switched over to YouTube music as Google are closing Play Music but an having issues accessing my full library through the Sonos Desktop or Mobile app. Both the Artist & Albums listings are truncated. When I access them as follows: YouTube Music →  Library → Albums → Uploads (only lists down to albums starting with ‘R’, everything after unavailable.) YouTube Music →  Library → Artists → Uploads (only lists down to artists starting with ‘J’, everything after unavailable.) Does anyone else have this issue? Anything I can do to get Sonos to let me browse my Full Catalog again like I could with Play Music? Cheers!

This is ridiculous. I buy 2 Sonos One, only to discover that Google Home integration isnot available in my country. Neither is Alexa. And I see other people have complained for years about this. How hard can it be?

Have been on Sonos 2 App for about 1 1/2 months.  In the last week, speakers and amps disappear from the app...not always the same ones.  I have two amps and 6 speakers. Self help FAQ says try unplugging and plugging them in ( IT Crowd... anyone?) That works but problem persists. Surely this must be software related, has there been an update to the app? no changes to my WIFI, no new electronics in the house.The 2 amps are in the same room with the router! Come on Sonos...your stock price is soaring, surely you can fix this? Ready to go another way and package this stuff up and send it to your CEO maybe they can figure out how to make this work.... Get with it, I cannot be the only one this happening with!!:(

I have my record player connected into my Sonos system through my Play 5. It has always worked perfectly but one day just stopped having volume. When I am playing a record I have to crank it to full volume and I can barely hear it. When I connect the turntable to another speaker it works perfectly, and when I play music on the Play 5 from my phone it also works perfectly. It must be something about the connection between the two? I can’t seem to figure it out, any ideas would be appreciated. 

Hi guys ,i want to fixe my playbar on the wall. there arias a special kit from sonos or the TV Sanus wall fixation.This second option sounds good but the playbar is fixed juste under the television with no space between the playbar and the tv… In the playbar instructions it is writen we must keep a space between the tv and the playbar (25mm if under tv or 50 mm if on top) for a better audio performance…is it an issue with Sanus fixation ? tks 

Firstly please ignore my stupid typo in the post title.Hopefully someone can help. This may be linked to other issues noted in this forum about Alexa in Roam.Troubleshootingremoved Alexa Sonos Skill and re addedremoved Alexa from all Sonos devices and re addedProblemi am unable to add the Sonos Roams to a group in the Sonos app. All other Sonos devices including the Move work fine.any advice would help.

I have two Sonos play One & two Sonos play 5 all Gen 1. Also have playbar. Am wondering what subwoofer is compatible. Using S1 app as S2 app isn’t compatible with Play5/gen1. Thoughts please? 

Hello, I need help with diagnosing the problem with my system.I have an issue with my Playbase suddenly not being present in my system. There have been no changes to my household wireless router when the problem occurred.My system is a Playbase (4 years old), a Sub(Gen 2) and 2 surround Play 1 speakers.I have tried all the troubleshooting steps to reconnect it but without success. (The sonos app cannot connect to the temporary wifi network from the Playbase when the amber light was flashing on the unit.)The only way the Playbase appears in my system on the sonos app is when an ethernet cable is plugged in. But then when I try to reconnect the Surrounds and the Sub to the Playbase there are connection issues. The app says there was trouble connecting the Surrounds, but surprisingly the Surrounds do actually play sound with the Playbase after that notification. When I then try to connect the Sub it similarly says there was trouble connecting but no sound comes from the Sub. When I try to

I have mac mini + projector(LG HF85LS) connected with hdmi.I'm wondering if I could connect sonos amp with mac mini(I have passive speaker which connect with sonos amp). If I could connect by airplay2, then could I watch Netflix with no delay between sound and movie?Any help would be appreciated.

I bought a One Gen 2 and integrated it to my home automation system (OpenHAB), but I can’t find a way to enable the microphone (without having to connect Alexa or google) so I can use OpenHAB’s integrated voice system.Is there any way to do it?

My sonos roam has been plugged in and connected for two days. It’s been working great! Suddenly on day three it won’t turn on and a steady orange light is showing. Help!

Hi,I’m enjoying using the Roam when travelling. Although the Bluetooth feature is convenient, when I finally get to my destination I want to connect the Roam to the wireless network that I set up in my hotel room. Otherwise it needs to be tethered to my phone. Do I have to do a factory reset in order to achieve this? It would be great if there could be a quick way to connect to networks while travelling.

I received the Sonos Wall Mount (Pair) & set them up last weekend. Unfortunately it looked like the brackets were faulty. I have unlocked the collar on both brackets, yet the ball doesn’t move or pivot at all & seems stuck solid in one position. I called Sonos & they said that the brackets were faulty, so they sent out a replacement set, which arrived today.… Well the new pair are exactly the same??  They just will not budge. I have given some serious push on them, but nothing moves? I am worried that they will break if I really push hard. Reading the forum I see many people have the same issue, so I wonder if I am doing something wrong?

I want to use an ARC as front with the TV, hooked up with ARC hdmi cable.Use AMP unit designated as rear amp to drive ceiling mount surround speakers.In this set up can the AMP sub output drive a slave amp and a in-wall sub?Will it be putting out the proper bass information?Will I be able to control the level?   

My Sonos Playbar yesterday was no longer reading my Samsung remote, and now appears to be completely dead, no lights, and not responding.  I tried a hard reboot that did nothing.  I tried calling customer service and after waiting on hold for 30 minutes, they dropped my call.  I tried the chat and was suppose to be connected to a live rep, and “Hugo” never responded to me.I spent $700 on this speaker 2 years ago and would have expected a) it to last longer than 24 months, b) better support.  Please help.

I did nothing. Last night Sonos worked, today, nothing. In the app, Settings, Account, and System are greyed out. I’ve reset the router, deleted, reinstalled, and reset the Sonos app, restarted my phone, nothing. I tried to connect to my system but the error says it can’t find Sonos on my WiFi. Since I can’t access Settings, Account, or System, I’m at a complete standstill. Totally locked out. $1500 in tech and it’s nonfunctional.
