Speakers

I’ve bought many thousands of pounds worth of Sonos. The new update must have been written and tested by completely incompetent amateurs.Better companies sort things out when it’s obvious that an update is a complete disaster. Not Sonos apparently. I’m surprised there’s not a class action suit going on. Literally millions and millions of consumers spend turned into junk.own up - you’ve messed it up. Now tell us you’re going to fix it!!

Well, had my workroom dual Sonos ERA 300s set up in stereo pair with sub and all was well.  New app was automatically downloaded to my iPhone and lost the system.  Nothing recognized.  Finally, after trying to reconnect multiple times had to reset all 3 units (2 ERA 300s and Sub Gen 3) to factory defaults.  Even then a hell of a time to reconnect.  Had to create a new room for them and finally got them paired.  Plays through Amazon Music fine.  But trying to play iPhone music (Apple) through Bluetooth is no joy.  Can pair but shows what appears to be a speaker designation for one of the speakers.  And then only plays through one of the speakers and the sub.  Will keep playing with it but made me wonder the extent of the issues the recent email from the company apologizing for the new app really are.  

In the past I have been using PLEX to run my Music - through the Sonos App - I had many issues with connection but never had any issues with volume. Most of my playlists were downloaded throughout the years from iTunes.I have signed up for Apple Music for convenience and now use Apple Music through the Sonos App to play my Playlists in Era100 Speakers - since I changed to Apple li had to turn down volume to 18 (on PLEX I had them on 32) - some songs are playing extremely loud and others play very quiet - I have been tried the Apple Soundcheck option but on or off does not seem to make a difference. music is played in my business so it extremely annoying having to change volume for every song - anybody had any similar experiences? Any ideas? Solutions? Thank you very much

Have tried to factory reset play one, can’t get beyond orange flashing light I’m trying to add play one to my network of Sonos products but getting error 1,002  help please

I cannot remove my surrounds,  they are Era 100s.  I have an Arc , sub gen 3 and era 100s.  When I click remove surround I get the message “ there was a problem removing your surrounds. Check the network connection and make sure your products are powered on”. they are connected, powered on and working fine,  I want to ove them to a different room and try using them as a stereo pair (before potentially buying a new pair (or something else)  as surrounds. Makes no sense.  I could try a factory reset but I don't want to then find I can't use them at all- not confident - maybe if is to do with the new app?

I have, this week, taken delivery of my first Sonos products.  I have an Arc, Sub Gen 3 and 2 x Era 300.Ideally I would like to:stream music to the Era 300 configured as a Stereo Pair Watch Dolby Atmos enabled Blu Rays via the soundbar utilising the Era 300s as my rear surround / Atmos speakers Game in Dolby Atmos in the same configuration as  no. 2 aboveAll of this was possible with my previous receiver based system (albeit stereo music was played via my front left and right speakers)Is this achievable without having to ‘remove surrounds’ and re ‘add’ the era 300s as a stereo pair (and vice versa).  I have read something about using multiple systems and controllers (presumably another device with the Sonos app installed). Can you please help?CheersJohn

I have two Play 1 speakers, both on the same WiFi network (the only one in my home).  One of these speakers is only 15 feet from my router, in the same room.  No other WiFi-enabled device anywhere in my house has any trouble staying connected.  After operating just fine for several days, one or both speakers will  suddenly be “not connected”, per the app on my phone and iPad.  This happens with no change in the Wifi or the speakers.  The app’s advice is to reboot the speakers.  Sometimes this works immediately, and sometimes it take hours or days to take effect.  I can only conclude that the Play 1 software is too stupid to detect that it has lost connectivity and to activate the subroutine that reacquires it.  There is no reason on this earth that I should need to individually reboot each speaker to reconnect them.  When is Sonos going to fix their software?  

Are there any updates due on new app as I STILL can’t get a suitable response on playing any music on my S2. Sonos app pre update was great,post update  CRAP

I have tried so many ways of getting the app to recognize my existing system and it still does not. I still have 2 Play 1 speakers that will not connect and when they do, a new bogus room is created and the other one is connected but system does not see it. How can I move this speaker from bogus Family Room 2 to Family room, as well as get the other one to be seen? This is the closest I have gotten to having a normal system after the app update!When will SONOS revert back to the old app??? This new one is horrible!!Thank you

Hello! If i pair my Sonos Arc with a One, will the sound still be in dolby atmos (Apple music) in the Arc or not? Thanks in advance for your answers and sorry for my bad english...

I recently purchased a second Sonos 100. When I had one, everything worked fine. Now that I have two, the system is very unstable, needs resetting daily, the reset process is inconsistent and the outcome is variable. The best I can hope for is that I can push directly from Apple Music, but often the two speakers aren’t listed as an option. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, created a new user account, done multiple factory resets. Nothing seems to work. Any stable solutions? I also read on here that you can’t actually set two Sonos products as an integrated system, you need a minimum of three. Is this true? All in all, very disappointing as the sound quality is good but only then the system periodically decides to work.    

Will these work with the ERA 300? I need longer cables than the ones included and don’t like using extensions. TRD Figure 8 Power Lead 3M - Black Angled 2 Pin IEC C7 UK Plug TV Power Cable Compatible with PS5, Xbox Series X, Samsung TV, Sony TV, LG TV, Panasonic TV: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

There is an existing topic (6 years old), tagged as “Answered” but it has not been answered! If Sonos is waiting for technical proposals/advice/solution to start developing this feature, here is my 2 cents that Sonos can either: Enable Sonos speakers to be members of different groups, as well as surround group simultaneously.  Make Surround group speakers available to be chosen individually as the streaming speakers (e.g. Airplay) Worst case: add a feature to SONOS app to be able to create different templates/profiles/configs and switch between them. Or at least add a feature to Surround group to be able to adjust volume for each individual speakers and of course a “Reset” button to put it back to what SONOS app thinks is the best setting.  Similar to all other scenarios in the link above, I can only stream music to ALL speakers in Surround group or NONE. The pity is, if I am streaming music lets say only from my iPhone, I do not want the ARC to have the same volume as the Era 300s! I

If I have two pairs of speakers can they be controlled separately? will they both have to be on the same source and at the same volume?

Hi have two Sonos Connect units attached to two different hi-  fi systems.i would like to buy a Sonos Era100 to connect to my Samsung tv as well as stream music from my hi- fi system .i understand that Sonos S1 is not compatible with Sonos S1 app. Is there a workaround or do I have buy more Sonos stuff ?

Aka daisy chain. Many cheap bluetooth speakers can do this so it would be disappointing if the Roam can't. I do know that two Roams will not do stereo in bluetooth but I can't seem to find anywhere if it even supports two Roams or more in mono.Thanks

Hi Community,after reset of all speakers I brought them in my new guest wifi. The setup said, that it‘s completed but maybe my speakers can‘t be viewed. Then I should go into system setting. There the system constantly looks for my speakes but doesn‘t detect them. Any help?

Just got my first used sub working with used playbar. All was well till i muted the sub in the app with the toggle slider, now it just flashes slow green and i can’t unmute it.I have powered sub off/on, removed it from room, and put it back again, playbar plays success tune but sub still flashing green light.Is this a new app bug?How do you turn sub off when you don’t want it on? mute it? turn it’s volume down? switch its power off? My guess is the app is confused and has lost control of sub mute?When would power off/on the playbar help...

I have an issue that has not been raised before - does anyone experience RANDOM volume changes (e.g. sudden bursts of loud volume as well as songs ending in the middle [apparently NO VOLUME]).  I have a home theater setup with the ARC, sub woofer, and 2Ls (in remote areas).  ALL WORKED PERFECTLY prior to the APP change.  Lastly - the system now defaults (as in difficult to get ALL the rooms to play the same song throughout the house) to ONLY playing in the main bedroom.  What’s up with this!?Thanks to all for any help

Hi I’m looking into speakers for my kitchen reno.At first I had thought I needed the sonos speakers to control it with google home.  However it sounds like all i need to do is set the sonos amp to be the default speaker for google home.  This means I could use whatever speakers i want tied to the sonos amp.  Are there any other advantages to using 8” sonos in ceiling speakers i’m missing?  the alternative pair i was looking at was the 8” KEF CI200s.

Since the new app update, my Sonos, when first powered up, will default to 0 volume.  I am conditioned to press the button then get to work, after a few minutes I realize it is not playing and see that the volume is at zero.  Just now I paused a song, and when I returned to play it, the volume was back at 0?  Am I missing something?  I see you can set the max volume, but no where do I see how you can set a default beginning volume?  Am I just asking too much?

I received an update yesterday thinking this would rectify the issues with Music Library and the queues!  I was mistaken.  Now the app is even slower and my Music Library disappears as a source every day.  My speakers also ungroup every day for no reason. The recent update was another example of poor developer code.  I kept getting an error that it could not connect to network- Try again!  Over and Over.  It finally update all my speakers except one- said there was an issue code 1000. There is no issue with my network.  Everything in my home runs just fine and have no issues except with SONOS.  I have invested heavily in SONOS to play my library music but I am the mercy of the playlist and shuffle.  There is still no crossfade icon in the new app.  Everyday, I have to turn it on from the app on my MAC.I honestly thought SONOS could do better than this.  This is almost two months since 80.00.04 was rolled out which was a debacle.
