Since the Beam Ultra unveiling one question has been showing up here and over on r/Sonos in a dozen different forms: which soundbar is right for me and where exactly does Beam Ultra fit? Is it a Beam replacement? A smaller Arc Ultra? Something in between? This post is to help provide clear lanes for each soundbar just in time for Beam Ultra to become available today, September 29th.The Blog team published a full guide on the Sonos blog and it is worth a read. This is the community version. It is a bit more direct about trade-offs and it is written to be the one place you can point someone when they ask. Nobody is trying to sell you anything here. If the right answer for your room is the Beam you already own, this post should help you feel good about that too. Start with what they all shareEvery current Sonos soundbar comes with the same core set of features so you can take these off your comparison list right away:Trueplay tuning that adjusts the sound to the acoustics of your room (a
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SoundCloud tracks you saved to your Sonos Playlists or Sonos Favorites before that update are now pointing to broken, outdated links.If you are running into this, you’ll likely see generic error messages in the Sonos app, such as:“Could not play [name of song].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.

Turned on Sonos Voice Control and it works great. Problem is that the volume of the Voice Control reponse is much to loud. No matter what the level of music playing is the Sonos Voice Control reply seems to remain constant … but the volume is problematic as it is so loud. Hoping there is a way to control and change the volume of the Sonos Voice Control response voice. Does anyone know how to do this and are you experiencing the same problem where the voice response is much much too loud ? The command “Hey Sonos Voice Control Softer” does lower the level of the voice control response. If I set the music level louder though the voice control level seems to then match the music level volume. Problem is that playing music at 70 or 80% sounds fine and not too loud but then the Voice Control level response changes and sounds much louder that the level of the music that was playing. Want to be able to play music at a pleasant level and have the Sonos Voice assistant response level stay t

This issue has been driving me INSANE for weeks and finally I found the answer on YouTube: Simply hold the input and volume down button on your Apple TV 4K remote for about 5 seconds and 🪄🧙♂️ …issue fixed!!!! 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
I was quite frankly shocked that the new and improved Move 2 actually has diminished functionality compared to its predecessor. It’s jarring to discover that a new generation of technology is less integrated, less compatible and less useful. Like many in this community, I’ve set up a vast wireless system complete with several smart devices and Sonos has always been an integral component to controlling the entire system. I hope that this will be resolved, otherwise perhaps the original Move and all of the older Google Assistant compatible Sonos speakers are the better solution. This is a real shame since great audio quality is what we’re here for, but not without the utility we’ve come to expect from Sonos. Thanks so much.Perry
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
I am using the sonos app on an Iphone with out the Apple Home application and the room names change randomly to different names. Any suggestoins?
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 😊
I have changed between Alexa and Google Assistant on my Ones about 4 times. All of the “fixes” from all the forums aren't working. I have tried EVERYTHING. Alexa just stops when it’s time to play the news and Google Assistant says “I don't understand”. Is there and update coming from Sonos to fix this anytime soon?
I have a Play5 in a 3x5m room and would like to add another speaker. Is the obvious choice another 5 or would that be overkill in a small room?Thanks
I love that I can use my Roku TV remote for the connected Arc soundbar to turn up/down volume or mute, but why are those the only 3 buttons mapped to use? I get that fwd/back buttons for next/prev playlist track skipping might not be as straightforward as it seems due to variations in TV remotes, but play button is pretty ubiquitous and it feels like a no brainer that it should be mapped to pause/resume playing music alongside existing volume controls.
Often when I use Spotify and try to use Sonos to send the music to multiple speakers, it doesn’t work. Why is this? I can send the Spotify music to the Sonos speakers using AirDrop or use a separate Bluetooth speaker with no problem but when I try to use Sonos to group rooms, I get nothing.
To start…The Beam Ultra is an impressive upgrade over the Beam 2.Setup of the Beam Ultra is straight forward and very easy using the app (iOS_iPhone 17 Pro Max). No one should have difficulties unless their network is mis-configured or has been experiencing intermittent issues prior to installation. I upgraded from a Beam 2. Important note but hopefully most have TVs manufactured after 2012.The Beam Ultra is not compatible with CCFL-backlit TVs (manufactured 2004-2012)Read it under Tech Specs for Power and Connectivity.However, if your TV is an LED-backlit LCD with HDMI ARC the Beam Ultra will work. I connected my Beam Ultra to a 2010 Sony KDL-46HX800 that is LED-backlit LCD with HDMI ARC (soon to be replaced) 😂.Beam Ultra vs Arc UltraRoom Size (Feet/Meter):Length 25/7.62 Width 16/4.87 Height 8/2.44Sonos AccessoriesEra 300 surrounds Sub 4 x 2TuningAdvanced TruePlayVolume setting46 via the appTV size65 inch LGIMO the Beam Ultra does an excellent job with Dolby Atmos content.

This is more of a feature request, but could Qobuz please be added to the list of searchable and controllable music services via the new MCP connection to AI models. This is a really great feature, but annoying that it doesn’t work with Qobuz.
When switching from TV swap back to TV audio the Sonos system does not to go to the previous volume level.So for example im listening to on my Sonos Arc and set the volume to 1 of 100, then I turn on the Ace Ultra and use TV swap, listen on the headphones then later I turn off TV swap or turn off the Ace Ultra, as soon as the audio goes back to the Arc The volume is now 30 of 100, blasting instant loud sound through the house!This kinda defeats the purpose of TV swap because when it's turned off the soundbar goes full ham and blasts loud sounds through the househope this is just a bug that can be fixed by Sonos? The Soundbar should remember the volume it's set at and not go to some random high volume when TV swap from the Ace Ultra is disconnected Now I have a question too - when watching a movie from streaming service or Blu-ray that has Atmos audio, should I use Spatial Audio on the Ace Ultra? The headphones are receiving Atmos audio from the Arc, does it pass through surround audi
I am posting this after checking all the other posts related to this issue. After my speakers updated from S1 to S2, I was able to add the Music Library, but a lot of folders and tracks are randomly missing. I repeated this step at least three times with the exact same results. All files should be compatible and my library is under the maximum allowed limit. Please note that the main reason I had downgraded all my speakers to S1 was that none of these issues were present in S1. And I do not have time to become a test person for the SONOS technicians again, as it was the case years ago. Problem is, downgrading the speakers and adding the S1 system again is also a very lengthy process… Any solutions anywhere, after all these years?? Thanks.
Like the title says, I have “Feel Good Piano” saved in my Spotify library. I don't have “Gentle Classical Piano Mix” saved in my Spotify library. But despite telling it to “play Feel Good Piano”, it will always play Gentle Classical Piano Mix”, on Spotify no matter how specific (or a-specific) I make the command. The only way to get it to obey is to tack on “on Spotify” at the end of my command. Which makes no sense, since both playlists are on Spotify. And no, neither playlist is in my Sonos favorites or anything.
Hey folks, I wanted to give you a heads up about a change that affects Google Assistant on Sonos. Google has announced that it’s moving users from Google Assistant over to Gemini and because of this shift, Android phones will only support Gemini going forward. This change takes effect today, 4 September 2026. This means that the Google Assistant app is no longer available for voice set up with the Sonos app. If you still want to use Google Assistant with your Sonos system, you'll need to use an iOS device like an iPhone or iPad. If you’re looking for other ways to control your Sonos system by voice, Sonos Voice Control (SVC) is available (and works with Philips Hue). You can find out more info about Sonos Voice Control at sonos.com/sonos-voice-control.
Anyone having issues with Soundcloud since yesterday (25th Sep). Tracks not playing first time, sonos cycling through playlist, then randomly playing a track from the playlist. Have now tried removing Soundcloud and adding it back - been getting a Something went wrong Check Your internet connection and try again’. Occasionally it gives me a code to verify with my soundcloud login but immediately goes back to the Something went wrong message. Sonos Status is showing Soundcloud is still active ie nothing wrong their side with the connection.
