Sonos One - Cannot Connect

need some help with an unresolved connection problem with one of my Sonos One units.My set up in my UK home is as follows:Lounge - all working fine- Sonos Beam 2: purchased in UK in 2023, connected to Google wi-fi router via ethernet cable- Sonos One x2: purchased in US in 2020, connected to Beam via Sonos network channel 6Bedroom - not working- Sonos One x1: purchased in US in 2020 … the Sonos s2 app can “see” the device but it can’t connect - wireless doesn’t work (either Sonos or Google network) I reached out to Sonos support but have not yet resolved the problem despite sending them a diagnostic via the app (have also rebooted my modem and router, reinstalled the app, and rebooted the One - no joy) Can anybody help me solved this issue ? ... maybe it’s network or firmware related but i’m not an expert. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated - thank you ! Kind regards, Will PS: the Bedroom One used to work 100% fine in our USA apartment wi-fi …. both Lounge One units

i have 4 Sonos OneSL that keep on disappearing

I have a Sonos Beam by my TV that always works and shows on the app. I have 4 Sonos One SLs that work but every few days they disappear from the app. I have tried unplugging, searching for the them when reconnecting. Restarting my router. I have followed all directions. it is now becoming so frustrating I want to throw them out. sometimes it will work and I will see “living Room, kitchen, bedroom, garage” appear so I can group together to play music. but every now and then they all disappear. Can anyone help? And yes I have tried unplugging them all together and doing individually. I have strong WiFi and never had an issue nor changed it.

sonos FIVE sonido tonos medios pobres

Buenas, he adquirido un sonos FIVE, y los sonidos tonos medios están como pobres, el sonido medio suena como enlatado, apagado alguna recomendación? Los graves y agudos muy bien, pero el sonido no es hifi ni por asomo, está muy lejos de ello Moderator edit:Google Translate-Hello, I have purchased a Sonos FIVE, and the mid-tone sounds are poor, the mid-range sound sounds like canned, off, any recommendations? The bass and treble are very good, but the sound is not hifi by any means, it is very far from it

adding sound bar to play 5’s

I have a couple of Play 5’s in my media room.  I want to add a soundbar and send the sound from the TV to the sound bar through the HDMI Arc cable.    question, can the play 5’s be wirelessly grouped with the soundbar (such as the Arc) so sound will automatically come from all three speakers

iPhone lock screen controls

I wrote to Sonos customer service and was told to start a thread because that was the only way to get a change implemented – getting the community to ask for it back. I was told that otherwise, nothing will change.Please bring back lock screen controls to iPhone.The sonos app is slow and has bad user experience, it requires way too many clicks for EVERY thing. Taking the ability to skip songs and change volume from my phone away makes this product a lot worse.Please upvote if you’re having the same issue, as that seems to be the only way someone MIGHT listen to the feedback.

Sonos and mobile on same network, error message

After having connection issues I decided to re connect my system. An article I read suggested installing with the router 5ghz temporarily disabled. Did this and all fine, enabled it and instantly get the message that Sonos and phone need to be on same network.Message fix suggests updating network, I just don’t that to cause problems, if it’s the only way to go then ok.Short of disabling permanently the 5ghz what can anyone suggest? Router is a Virgin Hub5, I’m sure their is a fairly simple answer to this, please!

One and Beam lost from Sonos App but Connect Amp still there

Help please 🤞I have a Connect Amp, which controls ceiling speakers, together with a Beam and One (both Gen 1).Had signal difficulties with the Connect Amp so switched it off/reset it and it’s now working perfectly however in the process I’ve lost any connection to the Beam and the One. They don’t even feature on the Sonos App, they’ve just disappeared.I took the One to the router and connected it via an Ethernet cable, it and the Beam then appeared back on the app but the Connect Amp disappeared. After I disconnected it, the One and the Beam disappeared and the Connect Amp reappeared. 🤬I know I’m being stupid somewhere but would be extremely grateful if someone could tell me where I’m going wrong.Previously the Connect Amp, Beam and One were all on the Sonos app and worked perfectly.Thank you in anticipation

ERA 300 stereo - how to tell L from R after setup

Multiple speakers in same room

HiI currently have a Sonos Amp powering a pair of non-Sonos ceiling speakers. I would like to put additional speakers at the far end of the room.For logistical reasons, running cables will be tricky, so I’m looking at the Era 100.My question: Could I have a pair of Era 100, working as a true pair, in the same room as the Amp, and have everything play nicely?Thanks Jim

Only one speakers play in stereo pair

Good day, I have the following SONOS setup in my flat (65m2):2 Five, 1 Sub - Living room 2 One - Kitchen 2 Play:1 - Bedroom 1 Play:1 - BathroomConnected via Sonos Boost (Boost is connected directly to a UDM Pro Port, same default VLAN), all stereo pairs except in the bathroom. All updated to the latest version 16.1. Normally all speakers play together / all rooms are selected to play the same music.I have the following  issue:Very often (but not always), when I start playing music from the mobile app (android 14, tried on a Pixel, Samsung and Xiaomi device), only 1 speaker would start play in the stereo pairs (always the same speaker, the right one) when various rooms are selected to play. The other speaker in the stereo pair does not play music (no matter if streaming or local). In order to get the second speaker in the stereo pairs to play, in need to unselect all rooms (let only one room play), as soon as I unselect the rooms, the room that is remaining active for playing music cuts

Sonos and the never ending lost system

“Unable to connect to Sonos Lets fix it”Home wifi network is always up. Sonos every couple of weeks loses the network.  Finds the devices then ask to reboot my home router.  My Home router is working NO reason to reboot.  I off/on speaker for 5 sec.  So then app find multiple systems. “let’s confirm”.  Find my Qty 2 era 100’s with Mac address. So far so good right?   I have to rejoin the same network.   “connecting’ takes minutes.”then time out.  I do this 2 -3 times and it connects eventually.  Speakers are in the same room as the router.   Other devices in different rooms and floors are connected and stay connected.   What is the deal with the Sonos Network?

System became totally unstable after the last update

I have a fairly complex system (8 speakers, 2 subs, 3 ports) using a dedicate Boost network that has become a nightmare since the recent update. I have had it for several years and while sometimes some updates are touch and go, it has been mainly very stable. But since the last software update, I have zones constantly coming in and out, sometimes the entire zone, sometimes just the sub and all of it randomly. I have tried resetting the Boost. I have tried unplugging all the speakers and plugging them again. Nothing really works. Nightmare. I hope a fix is coming soon

Switch betwen spotify with Sonos and Tv with Beam + sonos

Good evening, I have been setting up my new setup : 5 sonos one, 1 sub and one Sonos Beam for the Tv (with the optical port adaptor). I use the 5 speakers and the sub for spotify and everything works fine.Now, if i wanted to watch tv and have the sound on both the beam and the Sonos speakers. Is this actually even possible? How would i need to proceed? Create a new group (independant from the ones for Spotify ie 5 Sonos One and the Sub)? To do that setup does the Beam has to be connected to the TV through the optical cord or the regular Arc port? Also, how would the Sonos know they have to play the tv sound ? I did try to look for s similar question in topics and could not find what i needed - sorry if the questions was asked before. Many thanks in advance, Damien
