I am a premium member of YouTube Music and I have successfully added the service to my Sonos app in Android.However, when I try to play music from YouTube Music it is showing a message that access is denied. Please help. Thank you.

I cannot get the MOVE to connect to my imac as a speaker option. We have a sonos beam & a move. They both work fine on our Iphones. Also both work on the sonos app on the computer…  We often want to play to the Beam & the Move at the same time from itunes/music app on the imac.FYI. We are operating big sir 11.2.3 so we do have airplay 2.  The beam has always shown up as a speaker option ( in system sound preferences and so it shows up in the bluetooth & wifi) So we can airplay to it just fine from the itunes/music speaker toggle. We have never been able to get the Move to show up as a speaker in the imac system. It doesn’t show on any of the help forum answers I’ve tried either. Below is what I have tried….setting it to bluetooth on the move and checking to pair a new bluetooth option. It never shows up. I think its’ connected to the wifi because it works on all the iphones and apps.Removing it from our phones bluetooth then trying computer...since one article suggested tha

Why cant  i play from any app to sonos like Iphone.? I cant play audio book on sonos. APP name  ( Hljóðbókasafn íslands) I only get to play audio files on my phone.    

I have Sonos arc, sub gen 3 and 2 sonos ones 5.1 speaker setup.2016 Samsung tv 65” Class KS9500 9-Series Curved 4K SUHD TV (2016 Model)(This TV doesn't have Arc in the sound settings, but has HDMI ARC input)Apple TV 4K HDR connecting using Belkin Ultra HD High Speed HDMI 2.1 Cable When using Apple TV 4K (previous version)I was able to ask Alexa from the Sonos arc to turn on n off the TV. Arc was integrated with the Samsung tv for audio, even though in the audio settings (both samsung tv and Apple TV 4K) I selected TV speakers the audio used to come from Sonos arcNow after setting up with Apple TV 4K HDRI don't think it has anything to do with Apple TV 4K HDR but Alex won't turn on or off the tv anymore definitely the sound is no longer integrated with sonos arc when the settings are set to TV speakers. I choose Sonos arc from Apple TV 4K HDR connecting via bluetooth.Any feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you 

I have the Xfinity XG1v4 DVR.  I just noticed today, in the Sonos app, that I’m only receiving PCM stereo on every channel.  (I have an Arc, two subs, and surrounds.)  When I change my source from the XG1v4 box, to my Apple 4K TV or my smart apps on my Samsung TV, I start receiving Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, according to the Sonos app.   Does anyone else have a similar setup and receiving better audio from their XG1v4

My system is a pair of Sonos 1’s with S2 controller. Mac OS Big Sur. After upgrading from S1 to S2 I lost acess to my Mac OS library. It resides on another drive attached to my desktop. I have tried every possible suggestion on this website and still can’t manage to get it to recognize the library. I think it has something to do with the path. When I browse for the folder on the desktop, I identify it without problem, but in the iOS Sonos app it lists a different folder. If I try to force add the folder by typing in the path, it won’t recognize it. Any ideas?

Given the Arc’s support for Dolby Atmos and having added support for two subs I would like to know if Sonos is going to add support for more surround speakers to the app that could be used as either front surrounds or height surrounds. My room situation is such that my left and right walls are too far away from the Arc for sufficient bounce. I would really like to add an additional pair of front surrounds to fill that void.

My TV: Samsung un40h5003afStreaming Box: Mi Box 3My room: It's a fairly large room (25x15 feet) though I don't need to fill it all (neighbors). The TV and the couch are about 10 feet apart. The TV has 2 HDMI ports (one used for the Mi Box, the other says “HDMI/DVI” but I’ve had an Xbox on it with success in the past) and an optical out (no ARC). The spec says that it supports DTS digital output, Dolby Digital Plus output, Dolby Pulse output.The manual [1] says “The SPDIF (Sony Philips Digital InterFace) outputs an uncompressed digital audio signal when you connect the digital audio jack on the back of the TV to a digital audio in jack on a receiver or home theater. Audio Format: You can select the Digital Audio output (SPDIF) format. The available Digital Audio output format may differ depending on the input source. ✎ By connecting the TV to a receiver or home theater with Dolby Digital and 5.1ch speakers and selecting Dolby Digital, you can maximize your interactive 3D sound experienc

Hi, How much is Spotify premium?

Hi!I have 2 Sonos Five in stereo pair connected to a power strip in order to turn on / turn off the speakers.I’ve read that turning on / turning off ervery day could affect the internal circuits, that it would be better to have the speakers every day connected.I usually listen music around 2 - 3 hours per day, and the rest of the day are turned off.Do you think this could affect to the lifetime of the product? Is better to have it turned on? 

I have a Sonos One that we use outdoors. The buttons no longer work and the display lights won’t turn on. It doesn’t respond to the wake word. However, it still appears in the app and can be used to play music from smartphones. I’ve gone into the Sonos app and the display lights and buttons are enabled. I’ve tried disabling them and enabling them again but they still don’t turn on. Any thoughts?  Is it possible that it’s a hardware problem?

Diagnostics code: 800228317“Unable to plant SONG - connection to Spotify was lost” is haunting me. I’ve re-authorized within the app, and can play Spotify directly on my iPhone / ipad on the same wireless network. And I can search spotify through the Sonos app. A recent failure is at the diagnostics code submitted. Appreciate any help Sonos may have...

This is 3 questions in 1 post. Can I keep my old products (or sell them or give them to family?) when taking advantage of the upgrade or do I need to send them back in order to take advantage of the offer?If selling/giving away, do I just do a factory reset? Do I then need to dis-associate them from my account?Is the Sonos Boost mandatory if moving to S2?

Hello, I have a weird issue where I can be listening to a radio station and when someone else on the network opens the S2 app - playback stops for a few seconds before coming back on again. Does anyone have any ideas as to what would cause this? It seems to only happen with radio (Sonos Radio/TuneIn) The network consists of several Connect:Amps and a Playbar all hardwired (individually) direct to a gigabit network switch which has a single uplink to the main router. There’s also a Sub which connects wirelessly. I’ve isolated the network to only have Sonos on it and the issue still appears. Broadband speed is good. Any help appreciated!

I have installed a NAS drive and My Cloud Home on my Sonos.  I have dragged and dropped all of the music albums in my iTunes library to the NAS drive.  Almost all of them are then available from the Sonos My Cloud Home library menu, and play normally.  However, there are a few music which will not show up in the My Cloud Home library menu - even though they are present in the data files on the NAS drive.  I have deleted and re-loaded the data more than once - but the same few music albums refuse to be available in the My Cloud Home view.

Hi there,After the latest (very long awaited) Sonos app update, my IDAGIO app now crashes each time I try to connect it to the Sonos system (Sonos Connect).  I’ve contacted IDAGIO support and they direct me to Sonos since all the inquiries came after the update.  I’m using the latest version of iOS.  Honestly guys, you’re not that much lucky with your app ☹️

I use android and my wife uses ios. We have a number of speakers and love them. The issue is better described by an image.I have several wireless access points spread over my house. My speakers are on a designated SSID. They work fab. On occasions I get major dropouts. I have a strong 200mbps setup. To try to improve my network I have attached the two speakers on the opposite sides of my house to a physical connection. Since then, I keep getting this issue. My wife selected music on her iPhone. If I go to change anything, music or volume I see music playing on speakers not selected on my controller. The only way I find I can resolve it is to go back to music and select another selection. Another track. It sorts itself out then. It doesn't mater what source I select. I use SONOS radio, Spotify and my Synology NAS. They all give the same result. I am considering removing the physical connection to see if that goes back to normal. I would like to configure my network for the perfect SONOS

This happens about once a week. In the Sonos app, choosing our favorite station from “Recently Played” or Sonos Radio” results in an error message and prompt to “Reauthorize Sonos Radio.”  Its very annoying to have to do this every week.

How can I take care of the battery in my Sonos Move if I don't move it much from its charging base? I leave her connected all the time? turned it off or what can I do to take care of its battery?

Hello everyone we are building a new home and I want to setup a home theatre there. local hifi store is suggesting a traditional projector/screen w sound system w receiver.I am looking more into a system consisting Arc+ sub gen3 + 2 in ceiling speakers (w Sonos amp)+ 2 one SLs to have a truly immersive atmos experience. Now my question to the community is…. has anyone else done it?

Having problems connecting/setting up my system. I can connect them all and all work but not together and when I search for my products on the app it can only find each product separate. Phone finds amp iPad finds arc neither finds the other.

I recently added a Connect so my Klipsch Sixes could play the same music with my Play:1’s. I’m using the phono outlet on the Sixes and line out on the Connect (the optical is broken). If I play the music very quietly it doesn’t sound bad, not great but not bad. As soon as I turn the volume up there is an incredible amount of distortion in the Sixes and I can’t figure out why. Any advice?  I want to crank all of them at the same time.  

How do I know if my Connect Amp is Gen 1 or Gen 2?The serial number is 1604 B8-E9-37-**-**-**-* Mod Edit: Removed identifying information

Hi there, I am designing a home expansion to create a Family room and a Terrace. In the  Family room I am considering a sonos arc, sonos sub and 2 One’s for surround.  For the terrace, two passive outdoor speakers powered by a Sonos Amp. My question is: can I pair the Sonos Sub with the Amp wirelessly (moving the Sub outside of course) when I am in the Terrace to enjoy the music in stereo from the outdoor speakers with the sub through the app?
