My connect keeps cutting out/stuttering when playing music. It is currently plugged in via ethernet cable as it was also cutting out before when running on wireless. My internet speed is 100mbps so I know it's not an internet speed issue. My diagnostics number is 3944892
Hello User835107,



Looking at your Diagnostic you seem to broadcast the audio signal form the CONNECT to your PLAY:1, playing the line-in source I assume?



In that case you may want to set the audio compression to compressed within the advanced controller settings so SONOS can buffer the line-in stream.



Your SONOS system is also suffering from strong wireless interferences. Please set the wireless channel to 1 and reply with another diagnostic number.



Thanks,

Moritz.
I've changed the wireless channel on the router to 1. I play films from my laptop so can't compress the sound because the sound goes out of sync. The new diagnostics number 3950236
Hello User835107,



If you have the audio compression to uncompressed SONOS is unable to buffer the source, which is more likely to drop out. We recommend to have the line in compressed if the source is broadcasted wireless to other speakers.



My questions was also to set SONOS on channel 1, not the router. You still have very strong wireless interferences.



Thanks,

Moritz.
If I set sonos to channel 1 do I then need to change the router channel?

Let's see, can you submit another diagnostic please?

Yeh sure, I'm not at home at the moment but I'll submit one tonight
Hi User835107,



Do you still experience issues with the CONNECT?



Thanks,

Moritz.
I am experiencing major issues. Constantly the sonos app starts up intermittently saying "You have no sonos player in your system". It also drops out mid-song while playing - then occasionally starts playing again out of nowhere. I tried restarting both the player & the bridge/server and also restarting my phone - restarting everything & reconnecting them seemed to fix it once but it still keeps happening - even though the player is literally in the same room where I am trying to use it most of the time!

I was also having the annoying dropouts on my fairly new sonos system. by changing the compressed setting, as suggested above,  everything is how it should be. using analog line in from an Olive 04hd with 5 play 1's throughout the house. need more play 1's now.
I would love to hear an answer to this question I am having the same issues
Me too. Same issues here as well. Super frustrating - I might return the product if I can't get this resolved once and for all.

Well you're not going to get Mich of an answer without telling us what you've got and how it's all connected up.
Hi, I am having similar problems. I have a Bridge, a CONNECT and two PLAY:1.

I have had the system for just under a year. Recently I cannot get the system stable at all.

I have two areas set up. The CONNECT is called lounge and goes into my Stereo system. This seems to be stable enough.

The two PLAY however fall out and sometimes only one works and I cannot control the volume form either PC or iPhone or iPAD.

The whole thing is very unstable and not really useable any more.
I have: bridge, play1, two play3's, one play5 and one playbar. Playbar was installed just yesterday



The play5 is physically located in the same room as the new play bar. The entire system worked fine until addition on the playbar. The play5 is occaisionally cutting out. What do I do? Thx.

Sounds like the PLAY:5 is experiencing wireless interference. I would like more information about your system. Can you send us a diagnostic and reply with the confirmation number. Here's an article explaining how: How to Submit Diagnostic.

Similar problem. Diagnostic 5357642. All the tricks I've learned over the years are not working and virtually no new equipment has come into the house since the problem began happening 2 days ago. I've reset the router many times and changed the channel also many times.

Hi Ronald, afraid we would need a diagnostics within 10 minutes of such an issue, and please also let us know what playback source this was.

Please try removing the station from your favorites, then re-adding using the TuneIn search. This will refresh the stream, and hopefully resolve your issues.
