I have 8 devices and mostly the system is robust.  However, for parties I may take a couple of speakers from upstairs and place them downstairs to provide full house ground floor coverage and play them grouped together.Never seems to work.  Some of the speakers seem to play for a minute or two and then stop and then randomly start and stop again.I am all Wi-Fi and all updates been donePay 5 Gen 2 Stereo pair with Sub, Era 100, Move Gen 1, Play 1 and 2 x Sonos 1 Are there still app issues with grouping? 

I hope someone can help with advice. There is no sound coming out of the mid right speaker.Ive tried with an aux input to make sure it wasnt a wireless issue etc. I checked and all the driver chips are getting the correct voltage on pin 14.Ive tested the speaker seperatly and its good.All components in that area seem to check out, any advice would be appreciated.

When watching TV - how can I resolve the popping and clicking noise from my Era 300?.

Hi!  I bought my dad a couple of ERA 100’s an a separate cd player for Christmas. His old Bose cd player had stopped working. I used the Sonos inline adapter to connect to the cd player using an aux cable. Sounds great on the songs, but in between each song or when you do anything with the cd player remote the era 100 makes a super annoying popping noise. I’ve tried calling the customer support but haven’t gotten any help. I’ve ordered a replacement inline adapter, a couple different cd players, and a ground loop noise isolated to try and trouble shoot this.  Super frustrating trying to get something to work for my dad that was super simple with his old Bose stereo. Anyone else have this issue or suggestions?

I have a Ray and 2 Sonos speakers. The Ray is connected with an optic cable to my TV and my Sonos speakers are connected via wifi. I never have any issues with the Ray, however, my Sonos Era speakers constantly go out. I’ve invested so much time and money into these just for the sound to be miserable.I have upgraded my router to a high-end one that is supposed to be great for distance and wall penetration. I’ve also moved my router in hopes that would help. I have tried buying wifi extensions just in case it was a signal issue, but all signs say the signal is fine. I feel like I’ve done any troubleshooting step there is. Can anybody help? 😩

Dear Sonos team,I love my 7 of my 9 Sonos speakers. Please help me love my Era 300s.I recently upgraded my surround setup with the Arc ultra and two Era 300s. I did this for two reasons:1 I wanted a better home cinema experience with Dolby Atmos. This is working great.  2 I wanted a better music listening experience. This was what convinced my wife that we should get the era 300s, and she is less than happy (I am sad also).The Era 300s are marketed as premium surround speakers, but when setup as surrounds their main driver is turned off. This would make perfect sense if you could seamlessly switch to a stereo pair for music with the main driver on. Unfortunately, you have to completely reconfigure and re-Trueplay the system to switch between music or watching a movie. Please please Sonos team, could you answers the following questions:1 Will it be possible (with a future update) to save two different configurations including the Trueplay information so that we can seamlessly switch bet

Hej jeg har problemer med at forbinde min sonos sub til min sonos arc efter jeg er flyttet. Inden jeg er flyttet virkede der helt perfekt. jeg kan godt forbinde sub til mine play 1 højttalere, så den virker som den skal, men ligeså snart jeg forbinder min sub til min arc, så virker min sub ikke.  er der nogen som kan hjælpe? Moderator Edit: Translation by Google Translate- HiI'm having trouble connecting my sonos sub to my sonos arc after I moved. Before I moved it worked perfectly. I can connect the sub to my play 1 speakers so it works as it should, but as soon as I connect my sub to my arc, my sub doesn't work. Can anyone help?

Hi All,has any one had a similar experience?My ethernet lan and wifi has been “untouched” (no new clients added - except occasional cell phone upgrade) and working fine for 6 years with no new clients etc added - I have 13 sonos units, 8 unifi wifi aps, 10 managed switches and 180combined network clients. It was working fine (ethernet lan and WiFi) for 6 years then early december 2025 it went crazy with multiple clients constantly appearing and then disappearing off the network, clients unable to connect with each other and the internet.  Nothing worked. As a precaution I replaced the old router (10 years old) and unifi wifi controller (8 years old) but still no improvement, then disconnected individual switches and wifi aps to test if they were the cause - they werent. DNS settings were checked as well. in summary, only when all 13 sonos units with powered down and disconnected from the lan / wifi did the network behave itself - literally the minute i unplugged the last sonos unit eve

I have my Sonos system wit my beam and surround plays and two bookshelf speakers. However, my Sonos Play seems trapped on a second system. Nowhere on the app am I allowed to delete the second system or to merge them so I’m unable to use my PLAY. I’ve factory reset it a number of times but it says it’s added to the WiFi but not the system. It’s the speaker I use for music and I’m getting nowhere with it.  any help or advice would be much appreciated! thanksChris

My Sub Mini has never connected to Arc.  I have a red flashing light and it says Sub not found.  I do a factory reset and get a flashing white light, but still the same. 

My Play:5 Gen 2 was flawless for years, then suddenly started to drop streaming music a couple of years ago.  It’s frustrating as I see lots of others experiencing the same thing.  This is happening regardless of of the streaming music service; except when I use shuffle on my Pandora Stations!?  When a single station is selected (Pandora or otherwise), then it starts cutting out again.  Is that a clue? What’s different?  We have a 1Gbps internet, and Wifi mesh system to extend coverage.  I can’t believe it’s solely due to my network as Sonos keeps saying. Maybe Sonos reduced buffering a couple of years ago? Is there a way to increase buffering?

I am done with Sonos.  Interface is cumbersome, speakers drop off my app, I can’t easily start and stop music, every time I use Sonos app, I have to go through the settings to r-establish connections.  What other brands are people switching to?  Bose etc. ?

I have a mid sized living room about 50 sq meterwhich sub should I get: mini vs sub 4 ? Pairing it with a pair of Era 100si see the sub 4 is more recent  so perhaps a better choice? 

Hey folks,I eventually decided to migrate from S1 to S2. All my devices are compatible. So in the S1 app I clicked “upgrade to S2” (or whatever the wording was). Next the app asked me to install the S2 app, which is what I did. Opening the S2 app the system is detected but I get a prompt saying that the system is only compatible with S1. So I’m stuck: can’t upgrade from the S1 app and can’t add all the speakers to the S2 app.I’m sure that people had the issue before. What’s the best practice to resolve this?Would resetting to factory help?Thank you,mrpase

So to keep it simple; 3 units, two of them used as a surround setup with a beam. Since having them they work fine for hours, weeks, months until…. You up the volume. Then they start dropping out. All units (play ones) suffer from this issue.  I have had numerous cases over the passed years….. Sonos had me try everything; change channels, swap the setup, wired setup…..they keep insisting it is network related…. or power related (yeah right) the only thing cutting the power is the units themselves because they seem to have an issue. this can’t be network related or they would cut out / reboot more often. It only happens at higher volumes. I have even tested one of the units paired directly to a teltonika wired / wireless 4G routers and it still cut out / rebooted (powered of my home router) and even on a wired connection with this router it happened. Diagnostic:[redacted] I am 100% convinced this is bad batch as all units have been purchased from Sonos directly (so they’ve probably came

There is a real snag with the new pair of Sonos Era 100 and my Mesh Deco X50 where I am getting kicked off and having to reselect the speakers and start from scratch. I have pretty good patience but having done this some 30-40 times I am wondering if there is something non compatible about mesh (which moves across networks) and Sonos wanting to be static on one router.In have Set a preferred routers for the Sonos and my phone  rebooted the rooter and mesh and updated all the software  tried using the Sonos from another device to check its not my phoneAll / any advice welcome. 

I will mostly use my speaker for music TV going to sleep. Relaxation mood swings. Mostly more about myself and making sure the vibe or feelings are up to point and sets the mood.

Since updating I've noticed a sudden drop in  volume.First noticed it while listing to Apple music. a short way into a song the volume dropped, I turned it up and it happend again. Didn't think too much of it.But then it happened while watching TV, so I turned the volume up, then a few seconds later the volume shot back up.Anyone else noticed this?Any thoughts?Hope it's just the update.Jon Izzard 

Any idea what this update, available evening (UK) on the of 6th Jan is all about? Same target hardware as mid December updating to 92.0.72171 with others (Port/Five/Move) on 92.0.71170. Nothing on release page...

I am absolutly fed up of having to reboot my router to access Sonos from my phone. I have a VPN, but not only do I tunnel it, I turn it off, I restart my phone, but no, if I want to run Sonos from my phone I nearly always have to reboot my router. Honestly, I love the sound but the application and connectivity, I can never recommend this product or even contemplate any upgrades. 

I have 2 speakers which stubbornly refuse to allow the full 45 second Truplay sequence to complete due to back ground noise. Is this a thing? can you counter the background noise message? I have done the tune thing in a row which is totally silent of background noise and its driving me nuts 

I am facing an issue where I cannot add a factory reset  play:1 & play:3 to my existing system. When I go to add the play:3 I get this message:We couldn’t find any Sonos products on {WI-FI Name} so we can’t set up your Play:3. Try again later This is very weird because There is a Ray, Sonos Roam and 2x One’s and an existing Play:3 already registered on the WiFi network. What might cause this? I’ve tried multiple resets, power cycles, wifi & direct ethernet connection. Another post suggested that it would be best to forget the wifi network and update it. So powered off all registered products and wired the existing Play:3 to my router. I powered on all the speakers and updated the network first through the Roam then the Ray (the ones are grouped to the Ray for surrounds). The app shows the “Add your Play:3” banner, but when I try to set it up the error in quotes happens. I’ve tried multiple android devices (Pixel 6, My old P20 pro and a Lenovo Tablet) - all have the same issue.

I have very old Play 3 and Play 5 and brought them out of storage. Can they connect to wifi? If so: how?not tech savvy
