Sonos App

Please can you tell me when the App is going to be updated to fix the constant having to reconnect to the WiFi, people are spending a great deal of money to buy sonos products, so I think the least you can do is give us an App that is reliable please, after all, the speakers are fantastic, so please match them with a fantastic APP. Thanking you. Stephen.

Dual Sub - Five Suggestion for Sonos

Hello! I guess this is the best place to send a suggestion to Sonos. I have a pair of Fives with a Sub. This setup is incredible. If I were able to use the dual sub functionality with the setup, it would be amazing as the bass response would be even better. Sonos, it would be awesome if you added dual sub functionality for stereo pair setups. Thanks!

Roam - interupted sound when grouped to tv

Hi! i bought my roam today and allready encountered the following problem: My tv is connected to my Sonos Beam. I can group the Roam to the Beam and both play perfectly if i’m streaming from spotify. But if the audio of the TV is playing, the sound on my Beam is perfect, but the roam gets constant audio dropouts. The sound is interrupted (or faltered, skipping, don’t know the correct word in English). It is receiving the audio but is unable to play it without these cutouts… my sonos One and Play1 and symfonisk don’t have this problem.  any help?

Sonos on Android speaker?

This may be an odd ask, but is there any way to add my Android speaker to the speakers Sonos has available to connect to? There are times when I'm listening to some music on my Sonos speakers in the living room and want to continue listening when I go out to the backyard, the garage or the bathroom for just a minute, but would like to keep listening. Since I have my phone with me, it would be cool to simply add my phone to the speaker group.Yes, I realize the sound would not be Sonos quality, and that I could take a Move speaker with me, but I don't have one yet, plus it would be inconvenient having to take my phone AND a Move just to quickly check the burgers on the grill or run to the bathroom! 😎 Allowing Sonos to also play over my Android speaker seems like it would solve my dilemma.

Sound Swap/ Grouping of Beam & Roam

Hi, I am using a Sonos beam on my TV. Due to my bad hearing and a long distance between the couch and TV I would like add my Sonos roam to the set up, so I can have the sound closer to me when watching TV.I am able to group the roam and beam temporarily using the app but I neither can I group them permanently through the system setting nor can I use the grouping via the play button. This means I always need to re-group the two via the app in order to watch TV. Why is one button Grouping feature  (https://support.sonos.com/s/article/3391?language=de) not working for TV audio and is there a different work around existing?Thank you

Roam group volume issue

I usually group all our 10 speakers in one group an adjusting volume in the app for the group. When i reduce to zero and increase to desired level all are perfect in sync having same volume. Only exception is the roam playing only half the volume and needing manually adjustment which is  really annoying. Support is simply not coming with any usefull solutions or answers. Thinking of returning the roam.

Hey Guys, Have a NEW roam. When I charge it the orange LED comes on for about 10 seconds and then goes out. The unit is still charging . Is this normal for the orange LED to go out when charging?

Symfonisk Lamp WiFi issues, have they been fixed?

Reading a lot of topics on the issues people are having with Symfonisk and the drop outs and poor WiFi connections.They seem to be around a year old most posts, but then a few 3-4 months old.Have the issues been fixed now, perhaps with Firmware or Software upgrades?Considering the Lamp for surrounds for a Beam or Arc. Thank you

Unable to select Sonos Radio Stations when creating alarms from iPad

I am experiencing some weirdness when trying to select Sonos Radio Stations as the source for an alarm using my iPad Air iOS v14.4.2. I am using Sonos S2 v13.0.5. It will not allow me to view any of the Sonos Radio Stations past the main menu below:For instance, when I select the Sonos Presents folder, it flickers for an instant but kicks me back to the same menu. Same for any other choice. If I close the Sonos app, reopen it and try again it will strangely allow me access into one folder but only once.  So I may be able to see the station choices in Sonos Presents, for example, but if I back out and try any other folder (Trending Now, Featured, etc.), I am again rejected and sent back to the same menu shown above.  I re-booted my iPad but no change. I then realized there is a new iOS v14.5. So I downloaded that but no change. I then deleted the Sonos App from my iPad and re-installed it. No change.So then I pick up my iPhone 12 iOS v14.2.2 with same Sonos S2 v13.0.5 and I was able to

Connecivity issues Play 3

I have always had intermittent connectivity issues with my Play 3 speakers and Playbar.“ Can’t connect to Sonos” or “ Can’t find music library on my MacBook air “- I get this message when I’m actually using my MacBook air quite often…This past week the problem has got worse, I can only connect if I switch my router off and on, which can take 4-5 minutes. Right now I can’t connect via my MacBook air or iPhone app even though the radio is playing through my 2 Play3 speakers after I connected earlier when I switched the router off and on.I do not have wifi service/ speed problems, nor have I changed my router etc.. and I’ve submitted a number of diagnostic reports to Sonos recently with no response. I have also re-installed the S2 app on both MacBook air and i12.I’ve resorted to using a couple of bluetooth speakers without issue.Help

Play:1 speakers broken after 2 years

My pair of Play:1 speakers are like new, we’ve barely used them. Purchased them in April 2019. Now, neither of them will power up/turn on. There’s just no light at all. I’ve been through all the troubleshooting steps with Sonos Support. They won’t replace them but will give us a small discount on new speakers. Are the Play:1 speakers to be avoided? Why such poor quality?
