Question

Sonos 3?

Hi.

I have an older Sonos 3 that was given to me by a friend a couple of years ago.

It worked fine for a while, but stopped last week.

I have tried re-setting it, but no joy.

When I try to turn it on I get 3 low bloomp type sounds.

Can any ony help me please?

 

Regards

Bob

oK guys.

Got through to a very helpful & patient guy (sorry forgot his name)

He had me up and down my stairs into the lounge (Play1)  and bedroom (play 3)

and the router which is in the upstairs landing.

He waited patiently while I dismantled the powerline plugs etc in order for him to carry out his diagnostics work.

Play 3 is now working as normal now.

Not exactly sure what he did at his place of work, but it worked :D

Thanks for all your input guys.

Regards

      I had a powerplug solution.  Hated them, they are not supported by Sonos and I could see why.  the amount of times I had to trudge back into the house to reset the sending unit drove me mad.  Eventually ran a Cat 6 cable and all my woes disappeared.  It wasn’t just Sonos that did not like powerplugs only.

        Hi.

        Yes I understand power plugs isn’t the way to go normally, but the Techy guy I spoke to managed to get it up and running with the plugs, He was very helpful, but didn’t like plugs TBO. So didn’t want to run  long Ethernet cables throughout the house, too much hassle. :D

        I’ll survive with them until I can’t.
