I'm using Chromecast with Google TV with a Sony Bravia TV and a Sonos Beam. Using Chromecast's remote settings, I've set up the volume +/- keys for controlling the Beam's volume. Technically, this works. But then, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, it stops working. I can restart Chromecast and nothing changes. The only way to fix this is to restart the Beam (unplugging its power chord and plugging it in again). Then everything is working again, for some time at least (anything between half an hour and a couple of hours).I initially thought it had to do with that I used a different audio source with the Beam - but it also stops working while simply watching TV. It is extremely annoying.Does anyone have any idea? Thanks in advance.

Hi  I just bought the Sonos ARC and Sub Gen 3 and went through the set up process and tuning with my iPhone.  The bass sounds great but the dialogue is very weak.   Will be there an upcoming software fix for this?  I’m debating whether to return before the 15 days…  your guidance will help with my decision 

I know others have this issue.  (going on 4 years for me) is there a resolution or am I just wasting my time with Sonos products working with Alexa playing music?  I don't want to throw anymore good money at this problem.  the speakers sound great and I love them but the main purpose is to stream music with Alexa and it is just too frustrating.  I play instruments and like to play a song on Sonos to learn and it just isn't efficient to restart song after asking to play.

Hi I’m a little frustrated here and I can’t believe this is how the “system” is supposed to work. I have an Epson projector (no internal speaker) coupled with an Apple TV 4k. Up until recently I hardwired my stereo to the projector and everything was rosy. Last week I bought a Sonos 1 Gen 2 to use for the audio and it’s been ridiculously frustrating. I connect to the speaker using the control center on Apple TV and picking the speaker. Frequesntly I have trouble connecting the speaker to the Apple TV and when I do there are several issues (everything is fully updated): 1)No system clicks from the Apple TV. It’s completely silent until I start playing a video or watching something. 2)The volume control is erratic. Sometimes it connects fine sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it shows the volume graphic on the screen sometimes it doesn’t. 3)Today I tried playing a game, Asphalt 8, and there isn’t any sound at all even though the sound when playing a video from Netflix, for example, works fi

I returned my 3x Symfonisks to IKEA but I didn’t get the chance to reset them because I wasn't sure they would accept my refund request but I’m glad they did. The speakers are still listed in my Sonos account though. Is there any way to remove them?

Title pretty well sums up the problem. I’ve been playing music through the JDT Rocket Player on a Galaxy S21. I’ve done some substantial updating of my library played via Rocket. None of these updates are showing up when I select to play music from my local device.I tried rolling back to previous version of the Sonos app as recommended on a previous string addressing this problem. Chrome is preventing me from installing the download.Any suggestion would be most appreciated.Dan Taylor 

I have this same issue as listed in many other questions- but none give a solution ...except contact Sonos help? Surely there must be some sort of fix. I have downloaded the app. My computer recognises both Sonos speakers- but the Sonos App cannot find them?! The speakers and this computer are on the same wireless network. I have turned off firewalls, I have turned off vpn, I have turned off and on my router and this computer. No change. Sonos system is not new. Just trying to connect to new computer.

Last week Pandora kept dropping off after a few songs or so. Today I get this error message.  Pandora says they have no outages - any ideas as to what this is all about?  Would be a paying subscriber make these problems go away?

how can i tell which generation of Sonos Five i have. i have the serial number but cant seem to confirm whether its a gen 2 or gen 3

Hello, I am getting the following error when I try to add my Sonos One SL I purchased today to my ARC + Sub Gen 3. “There was a problem adding your surrounds”. My network is Ubiquiti (router is UDM Pro, the APs are FlexHD). All my devices are in the same VLAN.I have reseted the SL speakers and adding them to my account again, adding as surround multiple times, restated all my network devices, restarted my ARC and Sub.  Nothing has worked at all when I am trying to add them to my ARC.The One SL did join the WIFI and I can stream music to them individually (using AirPlay for example).My ARC and SUB gen 3 are connected by Ethernet. Both of the Sonos One SL are setup wireless. Also, after trying to join both speakers and getting that error, it does list them as surround but it doesn’t really work. Here is my diagnostic confirmation number: 1540609632 I grabbed the diagnostic right after the failure.

The Sound disapears periodically on a LG tv (not the Oled your other answer relates to). sound is connected through hdmi-arc. help! Really annoying on a new product. 

I have a Mac mini which had the Apple Music (formerly iTunes; I am not referring to the subscription service by the same name which I also have) set up as the Music Library. I had some version of this setup since 2013. My Sonos components are grouped into five zones, two of which are Soundbar, two Play:1 as surround, and Sub; the other three are two stand-alone Play:1, and a Move. All are on 12.2.2 (build 61183220) except the Move which is I note is 12.2.4 (build 61185090), but no updates are available. The Mac mini is running Catalina 10.15.7; it has some security updates but no major updates recently as that is of course now Big Sur, which isn’t supported on the Mac mini I have. The Mac mini’s primary function is as an AV unit so it is connected to a TV, and about two weeks ago while watching something I noticed the Sonos app bouncing, reporting it could not update the Music Library. I then noticed it was doing this every day, with the 2am update presumably having failed. So, I delet

Curious to know if any update from a stream posted a year ago regarding Sonos App allowing to select multiple languages for Alexa Assistant on Sonos Beam. Alexa app allows for echo devices to have this option i.e English and French - but no apparent way to do this via Alexa app to touch Beam settings.  

I have the beam and rear play ones.  I’m interested in getting the sub BUT, my wife hates loud sounds and I live in an apartment. I know you can adjust the bass levels so my question is , will the minimal bass setting sound “ok” for my quiet environment.  I don’t need loud explosions.  Just need to add a slight bass punch to my current setup.Or would i better off getting the ARC for improved bass.  The only bad thing is that the room is not a traditional 4 wall space.  Its kind of wide open behind me and to one side.Thanks 

Hi, I am a novice at tech stuff and new to Sonos, so go easy on me!  I have a Sonos PlayBar, Play1 and Sonos One.  Just bought an Audio-Technica bluetooth turntable LP60XBT.  Can I use bluetooth to connect this to my general Sonos system?  After reading many comments in this community, I am gleaning that the answer is no, except for the Sonos Move.  But using the Move will not connect to the rest of the system when it’s receiving bluetooth from the turntable?    Thanks in advance for suggestions!

There is something seriously wrong with Sonos support.  My Play One failed after less than 4 years and I had to purchase a replacement, with a small discount.  It was a painful process just to log the issue, then the replacement was delivered 10 days late, and only after I called several times to chase and escalated it.I now can’t return the faulty item as the link to send it back has expired as the delivery was late, and after I chased Sonos have sent 2 seperate emails from 2 different couriers, both in foreign languages. I logged a formal complaint a week ago and have had no response from Sonos who told me to email them at support@sonos.com.  In fact I’ve sent 13 emails to support@sonos.com and have had zero response; I’ve called Sonos many times and have been told that the emails have been recieved, but nobody replies.  The case was escalated (again) yesterday but still no contact from Sonos.  How can I contact Sonos to complain, which doesn’t involve support@sonos.com as it will be

Hey google play the highway on sirius XM.. Answer: sure, playing the highway on Sirius XM.. sorry it looks like Sirius XM isn't currently supported on the livingroom (Sirius XM is linked in both google assistant and Sonos S2) Hey google play Christmas musicAnswer: alright, Christmas hits on YouTube music, playing on livingroom.. sorry I can't find what you asked for. (YouTube music is linked in Google assistant and Sonos S2) My google mini has no problem with either command. My google Sonos speakers respond as above. My google best hub which has my Sonos speakers set as it's default audio device responds as above.. so it's the playing on Sonos part that fails.  Anyone have a solution ?       

Please give us the ability to schedule when night mode should be on and off. It’s very easy to forget turning it off the day after use. I had it on a few weeks by mistake before realizing it and people were unimpressed by the sound of my Beam.

Hi! About year I cann't start playing Tidal by Google Assistant. I have One gen 1. S2. From Sonos App and Tidal App I can start playing without problems. TuneIn and YouTube music starts through GA correctly.Dialogue:- Hey, Google, play music on Tidal".- Ok. Playing music on Tidal. Sonos is not available at the moment.What i am doing wrong?

I am using Sonos S2 and occasionally I look at what track is playing, and what is coming out of the speakers is a totally different song to what I am hearing.  If I ask Alexa what is playing, she says the same as the Sonos app.  Example: diagnostic 2015095204Sonos said it was the Arctic Monkeys playing, but actually it was Mixed Emotions by Abra Cadabra.

I’ve had Sonos Play:5 (Gen 2) for a few months now and it worked perfectly via Spotify Connect. A couple of days ago I purchased a second Play:5 to create a stereo pair and since then I am unable to play via the Spotify app?I’ve deleted and reconnected Spotify, reset my router etc and it still won’t connect - any ideas?

I have large playlists of tracks stored on a NAS. While SONOS is playing my imported playlists well, I am not able to resume playing after I have selected another source and SONOS restarts playing the list from the beginning. I have noticed that this is a feature many of other owners would welcome. However, all related posts have been closed for comments. Hopefully this is a sign that the SONOS engineers have got the message and very soon will satisfy its customers by offering a sustainable solution. I keep my fingers crossed. 

Apple will not connect. - 2 play 5 Gen 2 set up as stereo pair (R&L) NOT working - Reset internet - uninstalled and re installed the app - switched everything off and on again.  Made sure the settings were correct in privacy local network. Worked for a bit then back to square one. No its not the internet connection - In mean time can watch Netflix in several rooms,  kids on devices lap top on at same time all working and yes I did turn off everything else while trying to get Sonos to work. This has happened several times over the years (I has 2 play 5 gen 1 units prior) - its wearing real thin now at this stage. Perhaps its time to replace entire system for a Bluetooth direct unit as this issue does not seem to be getting resolved. HOw much time is a person required to dedicate to trying to get a system working when they should be enjoying the R&R. 

Since a few weeks I can't add songs to the queue anymore in the SONOS S2 app. This is the case on my phone. This was the best function of SONOS. What happened?

Hi,   i have replaced my SONOS play:1 with a SONOS One to get acces to Google Assistant commands. After a succesful setup and adding my Google Assistant in the SONOS app and adding my Google Play Music premium account I though I was set. But apparantly there are major issues: The ‘OK Google’ Command works. After that, 95% of the commands stop working. The microphone just blinks ad thats it. I found a topic about that where a SONOS employee answered that it would be fixed and in a timely matter. This a thread of 4 months (!!!) ago. Is there ANY update on this (No Alexa or another speaker is not a option for me). How is this still an issue? Link to thread: https://en.community.sonos.com/google-assistant-and-sonos-229109/sonos-one-problem-with-google-assistant-6837646 When I use a music command that got accepted (very rarely) this happens: ‘Play number X by artist X’  Answer ‘Ok playing song X by artist X on Google Play Music’ I’m sorry, I cannot help you with this’  Why is this?
