After the latest update of my Sonos S1, I can no longer connect to my music on my NAS drive (a WD PR2100). The path is still showing in my Sonos settings, but doesn’t recognize it. Then I tried adding the NAS drive folder again, but the "Next button" does not become available, when entering the folders server address. How can I connect my music? I rebooted everything, and also checked the firewall settings. The issue is the same on 3 different computers.

Took delivery of a new TV today and hooked everything up. Sound fine BUT when watching the football with crowd noise the audio dropped intermittently throughout. Changing to the no crowd noise channel, audio perfect. The Beam is connected via HDMI Arc.  Sound set to pass through and the E-Arc on or off didn’t appear to make any difference. Any suggestions?  FWIW connected via HDMI3. Almost like too much happening was overwhelming the speaker. Connected to two Play1 for surround. Any help appreciated - I’m not particularly experienced in the audio settings so have read several threads before appealing!

Hi every body, I connected my sonos soundbar Sonos Arc to my samsung qled 65q95t TV (with the cable supplied by sonos) on the HDMI-ARC port.

Just received my SONOS beam and tried to set up the Google Assistant. Followed the steps in the SONOS app, but when i go to connect to either Google or Alexa, I get a ‘There was a problem adding Google Assistant’. I have tried everything I can think of - reset the device, deleted the app and re-installed - but nothing seems to work. I’ve successfully connected the device to my Google Home, so can play Spotify from it, but that is only through my Google mini. Any ideas please? 

Hi all. Followed the other instructions and threads to get the magic remote working with my optically connected playbar. It works for the volume switches but not the mute button.  any ideas?

Just downloaded the s2 app, starting it, tells me that i need an update ‘Sonos found on this netwerk, update your system...’When i hit update i have to login. After login, nothing happens… no update, no error, no message, nothing. I cannot get past this point, it keeps asking me to update and then to login…Unplugging my play:1's and playbar doesn't helpSee also s2-setup-issue-6845804 

Zones not working - See diagnostic 278805265.  A couple of the zones won't work when merged into a group (e.g. Lounge and Red Guest Room and office).  They work when I run them individually, but if they are merged into a group they don't work.Any help would be appreciatedThanksMatt

Hi there,I have an Arc and a Sub in my cart, but given my 2008 Panasonic plasma only supports PCM/Dolby Digital via fibre optic digital out, I’m wondering if it will pass the Switch’s LPCM to the Arc or not.As I understand it, PCM and LPCM are the same, but I’m still a bit concerned the TV will only pass stereo to the Arc, and I’m not sure I want the added complexity and expense of one of these HDFury deals.Very much appreciate any insight or replies.

Hi,I have a problem with my recently purchased Sonos Amp. I have two external speakers (not Sonos) connected to my Amp through cable, and streaming music from my phone as well as the TV sound works absolutely fine. However, when I change to line in, in this case a turntable, the sound only comes out of one of the speakers. I have tried with a different RCA-cable, but that didn’t make any difference. Also, when I go into Sonos settings and change the sound to only right, there is no sound at all - almost as if I didn’t have the right speaker connected. There is, of course always a risk that something is broken, but I was wondering if anyone else share the same experience, and have a potential fix for it? Since the sound works fine with streaming/TV, I suspect it might be something with the turntable, but it could, of course, also be the connectors on the AMP that is broken…Any help is appreciated!//Fredrick

I have just installed a Sonos Arc.  No matter what I do, I can’t get Atmos playing (the Atmos flag in the Sonos app never appears, and the sound is definitely 5.1) My set up:  Sony XBR55 x900H (latest firmware) with eARC.  This TV supports Atmos.High Speed (w/ethernet) cable going to Sonos Arc.Arc paired with Gen2 subwoofer and 2 Sonos OnesSonos S2 app updated. Content tried:Netflix movies (w/Premium Account)Disney+ movies and shows Blu Ray discs  As noted, I have played tons of stuff, but nothing triggers the Atmos flag (as shown in Ryan’s Arc tutorial).   Any thoughts/suggestions/things to try will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!    

My Sonos system is connected fine through my PC and Samsung phone but suddenly my iPad IOS 14  app is no longer able to find my Sonos system. I’ve activated the Sonos system through my iPad system settings. I’ve rebooted the router three times. I’ve rebooted the iPad 3 times and reinstalled the iPad 3 times. I’ve tried connecting the router to a speaker with an Ethernet cable and still it cannot find my Sonos system. The system continues to work through my PC and Samsung phone. It has been working fine and I have made no changes to the system. All other wireless devices working fine.

I purchased a new 2020 Samsung 80T 65 inch tv and attached my Sonus Arc soundbar via an HDMI cable to the e-Arc HDMI connection on the TV.  No matter what setting I have tried and even after updating the firmware on the Samsung TV and the Sonus Arc soundbar, I still have the sound either cutting out every 10 sec to the TV switching between TV sound and the Sonus Arc Soundbar.Does anyone at Sonus know if this is a Samsung issue or a Sonus Arc issue?  I have seen other posts stating that Sonus is working with Samsung on the issue.  Does anyone have an update?  New firmware coming?  Any date?

My Connect device is connected with a wire to a router. I have a home network also connected wiredly to the same router. However when I am far from the Sonos device and not connected to the same router wireless, I can't control the device. Looks like I am not getting the connection to the device via the TP Link extender, whereas I am receiving the internet signal. looks like the Sonos device is not accepting the wired connection and always prioritizing it's wireless network... has anyone encountered a similar issue ?

Has anybody had success with any particular model of car charger for the Sonos Move? I bought one that matched the specs on the Move technical support page and it didn’t seem to work so looking for a brand or model that does.

When playing content that was encoded with Dolby Atmos from Netflix with the S2 app, it used to show the Atmos badge. I just noticed this week that it doesn’t do that anymore. I have a Sony XBR CH90. Anybody else having the same issue?

Evening all.I’ve now upgraded all my old gear and gone full S2.Not greatly worried by the value/promises/what’s to come debate BUT, would love to hear your audio assessment before any after of going Amazon HD on S2 please.All my boxes ( Connect Amp’s and a Port & several SW’s) are linked to B&W CCM 684’s and 682’s and are hard wired RJ45..Simple question ….  can you tell the difference? Before Amazon HD and after going Amazon HD on an S2 system? And how big of an improvement is it?Thanks

I have an S1 system which is zoned throughout my house using Connect:Amps. I want to get an Arc to replace the existing playbar but I believe that the Arc is not backwards compatible with S1 and nor are the connect:amps compatible with S2. This means I’d have to have a separate system for the Arc only on S2 which would not integrate with the rest of the house zones. Can someone please confirm this? 

Received my new Roku 2020 yesterday. Connected it to the HDMI 2 on my Sony Bravia XBR-55X900E along with my new Sonos Arc, Gen3 Sub and SL ones for surround and man is it awesome. Always have been an Apple guy but this takes the cake. Netflix and Amazon Prime sound great in Dolby Atmos. 

Hi,I have a Sonos Amp wired to 4 ceiling speakers. I also have a TV installed in the same room as the wired ceiling speakers  (AMP is in another electrical room) without the ability to attach an HDMI ARC to the amp. Is there technology, or a solution to link my TV into the AMP wirelessly to create my ceiling speakers as a sound output for the TV. (im thinking HDMI ARC wireless adapter) or something similar? Or would the ARC be needed to run the sound output and connect to the AMP to utilize the ceiling speakers for the TV?

I have send in diagnostics. When and how can I expect an answer?

I’m enjoying the Lutron Caseta integration and using Pico remotes to control my two Sonos Ones on the main floor of my home. However, I’m experiencing a lengthy delay when I try to pause music or change the volume for the Play: 1 upstairs.    Description of issue: I can use the Play/Pause button on the remote to start playing music. There is hardly any lag (i.e. the speaker starts playing almost immediately). After the music is playing, I am trying to use the same Play/Pause button to stop it. The lag between me pushing the button and the music actually stopping can be anywhere from 3-10 seconds. I’m seeing similar behaviour when I try to change the volume.   Things I have tried: Swapping pico remotes. Same behaviour with a different remote. And all remotes can control the Sonos Ones without any noticeable lag Pausing using other methods. I can play/pause using the Sonos app and the speaker responds very quickly. I also have my Sonos system connected to SmartThings, and I set up a diff
