If your saved SoundCloud tracks are suddenly refusing to play, you aren’t alone! Here is a quick heads-up on what’s going on and how to easily fix it.The IssueSoundCloud rolled out some backend system updates on Wednesday, March 11th. Because of these changes, any SoundCloud tracks you saved to your Sonos Playlists or Sonos Favorites before that update are now pointing to broken, outdated links.If you are running into this, you’ll likely see generic error messages in the Sonos app, such as:“Could not play [name of song]. Try again.” “Failed to play content. Try again.”The FixThe good news is that your music isn’t gone; you just need to refresh the links. Here is the workaround:Delete the affected track(s) or playlist from your Sonos Favorites or Sonos Playlist. Search for the content again in the Sonos app. Re-add it to your favorites or playlist.It is a bit of a manual process to recreate them, but doing this will update the links and get your music streaming smoothly again.

Your Apple Remote will now control your Sonos sound bar volume again.
I just got a Sonos Ace and I’m trying to use it with my DAC but the supplied 3.5mm cable is too short. Any of you find a third party usb-c to 3.5mm cable that works with the Ace? Or even a usb-c to 3.5mm dongle/adapter that work with the Ace? I’ve tried two different third party usb-c to 3.5mm cables and doesn’t seem to work. Thank you
HelloThis is written not to discourage you from asking questions regarding Sonos speakers of any type. To the contrary it’s written to encourage you think about your question; then ask yourself if it’s one that will get an unbiased answer versus subjective opinions. Let’s begin...Since the release of the Sonos Era 300 and Era 100 series the question is asked “are they worth an upgrade from A Play:1, Sonos One/SL series and/or a Play:3 (*)”. You might notice that I sequenced the first three in a row and left the Play:3 last. I did that purposely by design.The transition from the Play:1 to the One series was mostly cosmetic along with the introduction of the soft touch controls. Sound characteristics did not change to a degree that would warrant an upgrade. Most would need the ears of a canine to perceive a noticeable difference. 😊 Expansion of the internal memory in the Sonos One/SL (Gen2) for future software enhancements was the driver to seriously consider upgrading. Fast forward to
Need to do an international travel with 1 stop. What are the recommendations for Move 2? Should I take it in my Carry-on or check it in? Is it allowed in a checked baggage? And if I do carry with me, any issues with scanners in the US and also during the change of plane? It’s also fairly heavy (7 pounds) so making sure I do the right thing
Hello,Obviously a subjective decision but I am remodelling a TV area…Current have a Sonos Amp driving two “old but gold” floorstanders (AE Aegis Evo 3, about 20 years old) in a large open plan room in front of TV. Have two One rears paired for a 4.0 setup. Sofa in the middle in a reference “square” setup if that makes sense. Surround is limited but decent for me given my usage.Sound quality is good but floorstanders have slightly different character vs the other Truplay’d Sonos speakers in the larger open room as these are not signature matched. I know it’s there but not enough to annoy me. I care most about music. Area itself is for TV but my listening is about 80/20 Music/TV.Atmos etc would be nice for the TV but not at the expense of music which is why I have kept the floorstanders so long.Weighing up options for re-modelling the area (moving to LG G2 77” wall mounted TV, yes I have money to burn), so soliciting the opinions of the learned community here please on the 3 main audio o
Hi all. I have a Sonos Play: 1 system at my house. I recently purchased a new router (a Netgear Nighthawk C7000), and I am having trouble getting my Sonos to connect. I follow all the steps on the Sonos app, and at the end I get an error message saying there was a problem trying to connect. No other information is given. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Hi, i have a question regarding my Ikea x Sonos Symfonisk Wifi speaker. Im planning to sell it to a friend because i preordered the new Sonos Roam. What steps i should take to factory reset and wipe all my data from the Device? Also is there anything additional i need to do than just factory resetting the device? Thank you 😊
Hello, new to the forums. Pardons if necessary. I hope this question finds the right mind :)I’m attempting to setup a root page in an app under development and I’d like to use Grid (or Grids?).I’ve managed to setup a list for the root page. It’s plain and simple.But I’ve tried setting up a root to mimic how Spotify and Tunein show their items.If possible, my guess is the data structured in soap to serve the root page is not correct. Can I be pointed in the right direction? Maybe even an example or two? Or some explanations how one might accomplish this? Thanks in advance! Enjoying a speaker I got and the work for an app.
Hi Sonos team,I’d love to see an option to quickly switch a Sonos home theater system between Home Theater Mode and a dedicated Stereo Music Mode.For example, my setup is:Arc Ultra + 2 Era 300s + SubFor movies, I want the system to work normally, with the Arc Ultra handling the front soundstage and the Era 300s acting as surrounds.However, when listening to music, I would love the option to press a “Stereo Music Mode” button in the Sonos app that temporarily changes the system to:Era 300 Left + Era 300 Right + SubThis would allow the Era 300s to operate as a true stereo pair for music rather than as surround speakers.Ideally, Sonos would save both configurations—including Trueplay/EQ settings—so switching could be instant:Home Theater ModeArc Ultra + Era 300 surrounds + SubStereo Music ModeEra 300 L/R stereo pair + SubWhen the TV turns on, Sonos could even automatically return to Home Theater Mode, and when music is selected, users could choose Stereo Music Mode.Currently, achieving th
On my Plex Server, I have two Smart Collections (a.k.a Playlists), each having approximately 1500 tracks. These are easily browsable in the the Sonos app, but no tracks can be played from these Collections. The same tracks can be played if you navigate to the correct Album and play them from a shorter list. I guess the Sonos players are failing on the length of the queue, since all the tracks in the Collection are added to the queue…?Do the players have a limit to the number of tracks they can handle being added to the queue?
I have an Era 300 and a Roam Gen 1. The Era 300 doesn’t get used much any longer to its full capacity so am thinking of trading both in for a new Play.I did once have a Move but was too powerful for our small-ish garden.Any thoughts/comments welcome 😀
I have been offline for some considerable time however forums have stated huge challenges with the APP (S1/S2 ?) have these been resolved
Hello,When we first started setting up a service that we test locally, we used to get exceptions for not handling getLastUpdate. I put in a token regenerator so the token was always rolled. The threshold was 60 seconds. The point was for our development environments to always refresh data. But when moved to production this would obviously not be the case.For some reason now, the getLastUpdate is not being received. I checked my sandbox, value is still 60, did a refresh of the ics (refresh+send), but it looks like I am not receiving this call.Is there something that could have been done that causes sonos not to poll the sandbox service?
I’ve just seen on my Mac (running Tahoe 26.4.1) that the version of Sonos app I have on my computer will not open in future release of MacOS. Running Sonos S2 version 17.2. (the message directs me to an apple website to learn how to update to Apple Silicon version).I wondered if there will be a solution going forward or is this the end of the app for MacOS?
Why do my two moves fail time and time.again to work? So I hold the button for five.seconds to turn it off. Yet when I go to use it a week later the battery is half or more drained. When I try to set up Bluetooth in the right sun it's impossible to see the blue led, but more frustrating is it's failure to be recognized as a device when trying to play music. Maybe the new moves have solved these problems but I don't think I'd risk that they have. No new moves for me. Between the battery losing charge and the connection issues I'm done with this part of the Sonos system.
The adjustment shortcut is missing sub. I still need to go to the room settings and jump between EQ and SUB level.
I've been a Sonos customer for over 14 years, and I feel compelled to share my experience with the Sonos app, because frankly, it continues to be one of the most frustrating pieces of software I use on a regular basis.Let me start by saying that I love the hardware. Sonos speakers sound fantastic, are reliable, and look great. If someone asks me whether Sonos makes excellent speakers, my answer is absolutely yes.The problem is the app (old or new).Simple tasks that should take seconds often turn into exercises in patience. Switching between audio sources feels unnecessarily complicated and far from intuitive. Grouping and ungrouping speakers works inconsistently, and when it doesn't behave as expected, figuring out why can become a troubleshooting session of its own. The search and browse experience is often confusing and cumbersome, making it harder than it should be to simply find and play music.And before anyone suggests that I'm struggling with technology, let me provide some conte
I’m thinking about upgrading my old Play:1 speakers that I’m using for surround sound on our entertainment center. I’m considering ERA 100 and ERA 300. Be interested in anyone’s experience with such an upgrade to either product.
Just bought a beam 2, I’m curious as to what others have found works best in terms of the height channel settings for Dolby Atmos? I know it will be subjective based on individual space (ceiling height etc) but keen to hear what others more experienced than me have found is a good place to start, also does the height setting matter if playing non dolby atmos content? I can't say I’ve heard a difference?
Since installing the MacOS Golden Gate Beta, the Sonos app will not find the system.Firewall is off, so the only help in the Sonos app about that is of no effect.I know the app is vintage anyway, but has anyone worked out how to get out working?I know everyone will say use the web app, but it’s crap. I want the app and its native experience with notifications etc.
As of today I am bang up to date with all updates. My issue is playing Spotify through Sonos I cannot delete the track that I have played. I used to be able to delete the queue but can’t find it anymore?
In the FWIW department, I wanted an easy way to spin up all my music to all speakers in my house as well as be able to quickly adjust volume, skip & pause.So if anyone is interested, here’s the initial version of my little app. MIT open source in C#. Suggestions welcome.HotSonos on GitHubBTW, I mapped my controls to the keypad which I never use - add/subtract for volume, multiply for pay and divide for restart.Moderator Edit: Link removed
I have multiple users on my system. Sonos says to log in to get the full experience. Does another user need to set up their own account then log in on the app which is connected to my system or do the need to use my login credentials?
Has anyone fiddled with the Apple Shortcuts automations for Sonos? I created an automation to play every Sonos Room. I know I could have just said “Hey Sonos. Play Everywhere”, but using that option plays the Rooms at whatever volume they were last set at. The beauty using the Apple Shortcuts app is you can preset a volume for each room. Unfortunately when I looked at what music can be played the choices were only radio stations in the Favorites list. Has anyone been able to access Sonos Playlists as well as Radio stations?
