I was playing an app from my IPad and the blue light started blinking. All the sudden the iPad was kicked off and a song from someone else’s device started playing and I couldn’t control it. I reconnected my IPad and it didn’t happen again. please help.  

I’ve added my sub4 2x era300 arc ultra to app what do I need to do in the app to  finish it offthank-youin advance

I’m trying to get better sound balance without cluttering the room. Any placement tips that worked well for you?

I just got a Sonos Line-In Adapter which I want to use to attach between the analog line out of a small radio and a laptop. I then want to pass the signal through the laptop to a bluetooth amp.I started out first just trying to get the signal to the laptop and selecting the audio capture device with VLC. I had just one option on the drop down list, hw,0,0.  I selected that and could hear the signal with earphones and it sounded OK.I later ran into some issues making the bluetooth connection and it looks to be an issue with a missing dependency. I tried a number of suggestions and uninstalled and reinstalled some drivers, etc. It still doesn’t connect to the amp via bluetooth.I went back to VLC and the signal from the radio through the Sonos adapter. I noticed two things. First there was lots of static and noise and I could hear the signal, but it was very weak. I also noticed in the drop down box there were two options listed, hw,0,0 and hw1,0. The first

Hi all,I’m looking for a bit of real-world advice before upgrading part of my Sonos setup.I currently have: 2 × Play:1 1 × Play:3 Sonos One Sonos Port Era 300 We’ve recently switched over to Apple Music and are mostly using AirPlay / Apple Music integration alongside the Sonos app.I’m considering replacing the two Play:1s with two Era 100s, and I’m trying to get a feel for whether the upgrade is genuinely worthwhile.A couple of questions I’d really appreciate views on:1. Sound quality:Is the jump in sound quality from Play:1 → Era 100 actually noticeable in day-to-day listening, particularly with Apple Music (lossless / Atmos where applicable)? Or is it more of an incremental improvement?2. Apple Music & stability:Since switching to Apple Music, I’ve noticed occasional dropouts or odd behav

System is saying I need to reboot built in speakers and saying no Internet connection.  Sonos roam is working.    how do I reboot my built in speakers? 

No release notes but an update. Can’t see any changes. Now on Build 92.0-73070 on ALL devices. So assume it was just a consolidation of the last update to bring all speakers in line as the Arc and ERAs were on advanced versions. 

I recently Bought a used Sonos playbar on Facebook marketplace and am unable to connect to my PC. I bought optical to HDMI converter and the app doesn't seem to recognize it. I checked the cable and tried others ones regarding the optical and HDMI. I also provided the converter link I’m currently using down below. I also want to note that there is no light coming out of the optical when plugged into the play bar. It seems to be normal because I was able to get my hands a on another playbar and it did the same thing. So now I have no idea what the problem could be and would really appreciated some help on this. Also my PC doesn't have optical cable hence I'm using a converter.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DQD1592R?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Evening all. My father in law has an existing set up in his house on a Vodafone WiFi. It has a playbar and a play 3. All working harmoniously.  He now has a play 1 in his workshop and garage a ways down the property. The house WiFi does not stretch to these outbuildings. He has run a cat cable from the router down to the garage underground into the workshop. And it is connected to a new WiFi extender type thing that emits its own WiFi signal.  The aim, is to have a separate system from this house WiFi on this "new" WiFi signal. My belief is that if he resets the Sonos app, and then creates a new system, he can add his play 1 on this new WiFi network and operate it as a separate system. Ans then switch between the 2 systems once all set up . Is this a good line of thought ?  Attached picture of the device at the other end of his cat 5.  In that photo he has another lead plugged into the play1. Is it b

A number of years ago, I set up a 3-speaker system in my living room of Play 1s. This xmas, I treated myself to a new speaker, this time an Era 100. I just opened the box (it’s been busy here) to learn that I can’t pair the Era with the Play speakers. The existing speakers are set up as one L-R pair of Plays and I wanted to pair the new Era 100 with an old Play to make another L-R pair. I probably should have read more carefully before ordering because it says you can only pair like speakers. Since I didn’t know that, I was thinking to return the Era but maybe there’s a way to connect them that I haven’t thought of. I’d appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thanks. 

Over 10 years, we had a Sonos system set up in our kitchen.  We have 4 in-ceiling speakers, which were wired to a SS20 2 Way parallel speaker Switch system, which was connected to the Sonos Connect Amp 1st generation, which was connected to a computer.  Does anyone whether I should connect a Sonos Amp or Port to the Switch system, so we can access music through the phone?   Probably a very basic system, but any knowledgeable guidance would be appreciated.

For security reasons I want to move all my Internet of Things (IoT) devices, including my Sonos speakers and Arc soundbar, off my main wifi network and onto a guest (vlan) network. Sonos documentation states that Sonos speakers must be on the same network as the device that runs the Sonos controller app. That’s a problem for me, since I want my iPad to be on my main wifi network, not on my IoT network. Is there any way to adjust my router settings so that the Sonos controller app on my iPad can see the Sonos speakers on the IoT network? All my other IoT devices work this way by default. So I’m hoping it is possible for my Sonos speakers too.

Just receive my arc. Ultra an 2 era300i don’t have reliable wifi can I use Bluetooth to run this system

One of my Sonos Five pair just spontaneously died after just a little over two years. Just outside the warranty. It will not turn on. This happened while in standby during the night.  Both Sonos and the local reseller act as though its expected and normal. And are not interested in fixing or replacing the 2 yo speaker.Im told the speaker cannot be fixed, only replaced. I have also found comments online saying this malfunction is not uncommon - but i cannot corroborate that.  Does anyone have any experience with Five going dead after two years?and was anybody able to find the magic words to say to Sonos to make them own up to this disgrace rather than sending you off to buy a new one with a shameful discount of 30% like a cheap brand?Also, does anybody know if there are  repair labs that can benefit from the almost brand new working parts (other than Sonos themselves)?

I used my upgrade credit a while back for my play 5. Still have the device, am I able to give to someone else to use or can it only be put in the bin?  

Want to make use of two of my old Sonos Play:1 to connect to a Fire Stick. What are my options? I cant really use HDMI as the Firestick is in my projector which is ceiling mounted. Could perhaps use a line in and run a long 3.5mm or use a bluetooth adapter. But going to need something to interface with the Play:1’s as they have no line in.

I have two Sonos One speakers, along with a Sub Mini, that I use to listen to music in a medium-size bedroom while I lie in bed, the speakers positioned on either side of the bed, at the head of the bed. I just bought two ERA 100 speakers. My original idea was to just replace the Ones, but it occurred to me that I might get a fuller sound using all four speakers. Should I use the ERA 100s as my main speakers and the Ones as additional? Should the ERAs be at my head, and the Ones at the other end of the room, or the Ones at my head like surround sound and the ERAs at the other end of the room? Thanks!

I want to buy era200.   Aim is to upgrade. However price no different with Black Friday deals doing an upgrade.  Is there any point buying as an upgrade.  Can you combine discounts. Thanks

I have a set of play3 with the ARC+sub I want to replace the play3 for era300 will they be easy to setup in app ty

Hi my Sonos keeps dropping out from WiFi. Every other device in the house is connected to WiFi but my Sonos app isn’t finding my speakers 

If I add a 2nd ERA 100 and pair it in stereo, does the volume slider button on top of the 1st speaker adjust the volume accordingly on the other speaker?  I frequently adjust volume up or down while listening to music, and I don’t want to use the app every time.  I really hope I wouldn’t have to individually adjust volume on both speakers constantly, or that would be a deal breaker.  I’m ready to pull the trigger on the 2nd speaker but need to clarify this 1st.  Thanks.

We have a music listening and TV viewing area in our living room. Music is a stereo pair of Play1s either side of the TV. TV sound is HDMI ARC to a Beam Gen 1 under the TV. It all works well.We have no interest in surround sound (and even if we did our room would make it really hard to put the surrounds anywhere sensible). The Play1s sound better than the Beam for music - not surprising they are physically separated to give a decent stereo soundstage.Was wondering about adding a sub mini to the set up. As far as I can tell would have to add the sub to either the TV/Beam or music/Play1s. Is there a way to get the benefit of the sub for TV and music without losing the convenience and ease of our current set up? Whatever we do has to be easy for everyone to use. Thanks 

HelloHow to adjust left right balance on a stereo pair of Era 300 for music listening?I am honestly shocked that such a basic and essential feature is not available by default.My situation is straightforward. I cannot place my speakers in a perfectly centered listening position. The right speaker is farther away, so I simply want to increase its volume to compensate and keep a proper stereo image.How can we adjust the left right balance on an Era 300 stereo pair when listening to music?If the option exists somewhere, I cannot find it. If it does not exist, I do not understand how a system positioned as premium can lack such a fundamental control.Thanks
