Beyond the improved sound quality and the additional features (replay song, skip song, no commercials) are there additional channels of programming on the paid tier of Sonos Radio vs the free one?

Hi all - I got a pair of One SL speakers and a sub. They sound great paired as a stereo setup, and I love how well it fills my room with sound. I only use the system in my office and I love the wireless setup.My problem is that I can’t figure out how to use this thing properly.  I use Spotify a lot, I do a lot of YouTube, watch videos on Facebook from time to time, and listen to podcasts/audio right from a browser. With my old bluetooth speakers, i just set the bt speaker as the audio out for my laptop and everything is perfect.With Sonos, every time I change to a new audio source (i.e. from Spotify to browser) I wind up having to figure out how to re-adjust the volume and make sure it’s coming from the Sonos speakers.  I thought I could set my computer to use the Airplay/Sonos as it’s audio output .but it keeps disconnecting.For example, say I am listing to a youtube video and my OSX is using Airplay to play on Sonos. Now i move to another tab and play a video on Facebook (or anywhere

I use Alexa for voice commands to play music on my Sonos speaker. Until recently everything worked fine. Now, when I ask Alexa to play music on Sirius xm, she says I need to enable the service and link my account on the Alexa app. It is. I’ve contacted support for the Alexa app. I’ve disabled the service and re enabled it. I’ve deleted the Sonos app and the Sirius xm from the app and reinstalled both. I still get the same message. I’ve unplugged the speaker and plugged it back in. I never had issues when I used the sonos1 app.

That may seem to be a blessing but it is a problem. I’ve got Xfinity on multiple Samsung TVs and only the one attached to my Arc has the problem. Particularly on NBC. The broadcast will go fine but when it cuts to commercials, the sound will cut out. After the commercials end and the main broadcast comes back, the sound pops back up. Also, same symptom on CBS. Never had the problem on other cable channels as yet. The audio on the Samsung is set to Sound Output → Receiver (HDMI-eARC). Under Expert Settings HDMI-eARC Mode is set to AUTO and Digital Output Audio Format is set to Pass-Through.  I’ve seen  a number of topics, but I didn’t see one that matched this symptom. Seemed to start a week or so ago, but, to my recollection, I had not made any configuration changes during that time frame.

I’m thinking of buying a used Sonos Connect to hook up to my existing Yamaha receiver.I want to be able to “see” the Sonos Connect from my Sonos app on my iPhone / iPad.I’m reading some stuff online that would see to say the app does not work with the Sonos Connect.Surely that can’t be right.

Hi, is it possibile for the Sonos skill to activate Sonos Radios thru Alexa? I didn’t find anything about it.Thanks

Every couple months, I find Google Assistant is no longer working on my Sonos One pair. The fix is simple enough, but it’s definitely annoying.  To fix, I have to first remove Google Assistant from the Sonos app then re-add it.  This is a bug that should get fixed. 

 This has probably been asked many times before but I'm struggling to find an answer to my specific question. I currently own 2 x Play2 speakers using S2 software (I assume this means I have Gen 2 speakers. I was intending on purchasing a Sonos Connect so that I can connect my turntable to my speakers. If I purchase a used Connect Gen 1 will it work on my Gen 2 speakers? Thanks

Hello,Before anything else I want to let you know that I am aware that the sonos products work through the sonos app and the best way to connect the Symfonisk lamps are through a beam or an arc and set them as surround.Getting that of our way, I trying to figure out a cheaper way of doing this. Does anyone on this forum own an apple 4k tv (5th gen) and 2 Ikea Symfonisk lamps? I am curious of 2 essential aspects:Can the apple 4k tv be connected to the TV and simply act as an audio out device to the Ikea Symfonisk lamps (in stereo)? (I am not interested in using the apple 4k tv to its intended purpose and to use its apps, but only act as the audio out to those speakers via airplay 2) If the answer is yes to number 1, is there any audio delay, de-sync with the image from the TV?A bit of an example for a more accurate visual representation: let’s say one owns an LG CX Oled display TV, an apple 4k tv and 2 Ikea Symfonisk lamps. I am wondering if I could watch TV and send the audio via hdmi

In both the Android app and the Windows desktop app, when selecting the YouTube Music Service, it only lists ‘Playlists’ in the Menu. There is no ‘Songs’, ‘Albums’ ‘Artists’ etcHowever I can use the search facility which brings up some but not all of my YouTube Music content. I have a free YouTube Music account, however I’m sure these things were working properly last time I checked. Anyone else have this issue or know how to resolve it?Many Thanks.

I currently have an arc and sub in my living room and recently added an amp to be independent and control my outdoor Klipsh speakers. I am wanting to be able to watch tv and have that audio on the arc and then stream music outside on the amp however when I stream music it kills the audio on the TV. Is this possible? I figured since the amp was separate It should be easy and not really be a second zone. The amp would be its own zone and the arc it’s on zone. I am wondering if it’s the way I set it up on the app. Any suggestions?

Hello, My Sonos play:5 device dissapeared overnight from my Sonos system. I also own a play:1 device which operates normally. I tried using an Ethernet cable and Play:5 has been brought back. However, with the Ethernet cable connected to the Play:5 I am unable to connect it to the Wifi as the error "Incorrect Password" keeps showing up. (System > Network > Wireless Setup > ‘chosing my home network verification fails with Password incorrect’)Just to note:I am definitely keying in the correct password. I never changed any settings on my router My router 802.11 mode is mixed 802.11b/g/nAlso tried:Changing my home network router password. Factory reset to my Play:5 as suggested in other topicsAny clues of what to do next?Thanks ​​​​​​​  

Can I connect the sonos generation 2 amp to my  LX303 Pioneer receiver ?

I have 3 Sonos connects s15. They are grouped and connected to my phone. I play music through the app. No sound through the speakers. Why?

I have a Sonos Move that I have been using with Aiplay 2 via my iMac for several months with no issues. Yesterday it stopped connecting or playing via Airplay. It shows up in the Airplay menu, with a checkmark, but no sound comes through the move. Other Airplay devices, Homepods, are working. I can connect via Bluetooth with my phone and that works fine. I have reset as new, updated firmware, reconnected to the WiFi network, but it still won’t play.

To be honest, despite my initial expectations, I’m pleasantly surprised by the programming on Sonos Radio. In many ways, this is a unique offering -- no small feat in the crowded streaming media world. The commercial breaks, though short, are frustrating. I’d be willing to pay for a commercial-free stream of Sonos Radio. Is that available or a potential offering for the future?  Thanks -- Robert

Arc will only play music. When I switch to hdmi arc it switches back to tv speakers 

I have numerous Sonos products which are excellent and support Alexa,  I have just purchased a Eufy wireless doorbell which works with Alexa.  As I can only access Alexa through my SONOS equipment, how can I link it to ring on my SONOS / Alexa when the doorbell is pressed.

Beginning this week, I can no longer play any podcasts from Pocket Casts. I have restarted the speakers, the router, updated everything to 12.2.1 (build 61183170) but whenever I try to play any podcast, I get the following: “An error occurred while adding tracks to the Queue (701).” (I’ve also attached a screen shot of the error.)Is it just me? 

When I play a folder on my Sonos app, then next song in the list begins playing about 1-2 seconds before the current song is completed. Playing the same folder on a different media player to my ear buds works correctly and there is a short dely between songs. Len

Hi so I have an existing Sonos system in my house but have now an annex in garden that is out of range for my existing WiFi.  I have installed a Cat 5 data cable to a new router in the annex from my existing router In the house.  How do I make Sonos 1s work on the new network in the annex. I just keep getting network not found.  It’s like I need two apps   1 for the garden and 1 for the annex   How do I get round this. help appreciated  

I just received a Sonos 5. I used to have my turntable running into my gen 1 connect amp. It successfully streamed to all my other Sonos speakers in the house using the Sonos 1 app. Now that I have replaced the connect amp with the Sonos 5 and upgraded the system to the sonos 2 app I’m unable to stream the turntable to the other speakers unless I have the Sonos 5 plugged directly into the router. Any thoughts on this.
