Speakers

Hi updated the app today and it has lost both my devices Play 3 and Boost.can you help Tony

I’m hitting so many issues it’s tough to identify which path was the closest to success.I have spent several hours with chat agents, who gave up and told me to call in. I’ve been on hold for 45 minutes… and then the call dropped. I’m back on hold again. Super unhappy with how complex Sonos has made this setup….For example, case 1On a fresh install, SOMETIMEs I can get the speaker connected to my Wi-Fi, but the Sonos app (not the S1 app) gets stuck adding the Speaker to a room. The app just hangs on this screen. If I hard close the app, despite the speaker having a solid White LED… I can’t see it being connected anywhere in the app… so I have to start the install againCase 2often on installs the Wi-Fi won’t connect propoerly. If I hard wire, I then see a message “Software update required”. When I try and do that it says I need top Sign in as the System owner I bought these speakers used… is it possible they are still associated with a past user? Any other ideas as to why I’m seeing this

I brought my 2 play 1 and play bar to my new house with a new bell sagemcom 5689e router and bought 3 era 100 to complete the set now, every time I loose power ( which happens weekly here ) my system doesn’t reconnect ive wired one play 1 to the router and it reconnects after a reboot the older models but not the Era 100ive spent countless hours on the phone with Sonos and nothing to do contacted Bell and they don’t want to change my router I cannot factory reset my eras every week , it doesn’t make sense !  any advices or tricks ?  

Hi there,When will Deezer Podcasts be available in Sonos App?Thanks..

I run a split S1 / S2 setup primarily as I have found that a stereo Play:3 pair runs much more smoothly on S2. I have a Move and Amp on S2 with no issues. This morning I went to play my Play:3 pair and the S1 App window defaulted to direct me to the S2 app. I contacted chat and Alex advised that the Play:3 pair were on the S2 app. Strange I thought as I had not elected to upgrade.It seems after two attempts to downgrade the Play:3 to S1 they auto update to S2 without any user interaction.The stereo pair are running on S2 and will just have to see how it goes as they have in the past they started getting laggy and that is both wired and wireless.It would seem that some update has been pushed out and auto updating anything on S1.Now: Version: 16.1.1 (build 78152020)  

My setup: Arc, 2 subs, 2 ERA 300s as surrounds. One of my ERAs is making a buzzing vibration-like noise when there is a lot of bass. Lorde’s “Royals” is case in point. The ERAs are on stands but they are tight and that doesn’t seem to be causing the issue. Have had this setup since the 300s were released and never had this type of issue. I also don’t stress the system so it shouldn’t be related to a blown speaker, etc. Just thought I’d try here before looking at warranty service. Thx.

I I have 2 Symfonisk amp Any chance to play music by bluetooth 

I have a rather large Sonos system hooked up in a smaller NYC apartment. The apartment is broken into about 4 smaller bedrooms however there are speakers dispersed throughout the entire setup. Several Sonos ones, 100s, 300s, 3 subs, an arc, bookshelf speakers and a boost. The speakers play subpar using Airplay, often dropping or not connecting at all. I then use the Sonos app to stream Apple Music and while it’s better it still has connectivity problems at times. It’s disappointing because I would like to use my HomePods in tandem with the system taking advantage of Siri and even a more dispersed sound. I’m frustrated because I invested thousands of dollars into the system and it does not play as intended and to make it worst I keep trying alternate options like purchasing extenders, upgrading the router, etc. Switched out most of the existing HomePods to Sonos thinking that would resolve the problem because I felt Sonos didn’t not play well with HomePods. It didn’t.  Anyone else havin

I want to get a Five, but I need to be able to mount it to a wooden ceiling beam. Basically, I can install screws straight upwards, but will still have the Five angled as though it’s on a traditional wall mount (as opposed to facing straight down from the ceiling). Is there a mount that will let me do this?

Hello,I just purchased the 8” In-Ceiling Set and the 8” In-Ceiling Speakers by Sonos and Sonance (Pair). The basement room that I purchased it for is an open room that is approximately 30ft by 13ft. I plan to have all 4 of the speakers installed in this room, questions:Is 4x 8in Sonos speakers too must for this room size? Am I ok to use 12 gauge speaker wire? Any other advise would be greatly appreciated?Thank You

I purchased an Era 100 from a big chain electronic store in April. The box was factory sealed when I picked it upThen I sold this factory sealed box to someone on  May 5th (Note that i have never opened this box). Few hours later this person contacted me back and told me the unit in the box is a used One Gen2. I can think of 2 possibilties:#1: Someone at the electronic store swapped it before I bought it;#2: The person who bought from me is not telling the truth.So I'm just wondering if there is a way to check when this unit was activated. If it was already activated and used before May 5th, then we know it's #1, and vice versa. Any help is appreciated.  Serial number (ERA 100)A100 2301LV ***************** Serial number (One Gen 2)A201 1909CP ***************** Moderator edit: serial numbers recorded and removed

"I have a Sonos Era 300 speaker installed on a shelf 50 cm from the ceiling; following Sonos recommendations, I placed it upside down; however, the speaker no longer responds to voice control; does it mean that the microphone is out of reach when the device is upside down ?

We have a Sonos system set up in our house and it works great. I am trying to set up a new system in our motorhome on a different wifi system (Starlink) and am unable to figure out how to do this. I do not want the motorhome system on our house wifi as we travel, hence the Starlink. How do I do this?

I am thinking on buying a audiotechnica LP60 turntable and also a pair of Eras100 speakers so I can play my new records and enjoy a good quality stereo experience. I would like to know what else I need to buy to finish a good setup.Thanks

With a Roam, can i play a playlist stored in the Sonos app via bluetooth?

Hi.  Are there any isolating stands for the sub mini? 

I’ve been looking for a high quality soundbar for my desk - Sonos, unfortunately, doesn’t make one.  Would it be possible to consider adding native USB-C input and volume control to the Era 100?  It would make a fantastic desktop computer speaker.  There are so many bad speakers in the PC world - it would be great to ingest PC audio into the Sonos ecosystem this way.

I have a stereo pair of One SL’s that are on the mantle of our electric fireplace in a living area section of kitchen, dining and living room area. The entire space is probably around 400 sq feet. Anyway, in adding a Roam into the mix do I add it to the existing stereo pair? Or do I simply call the Roam by a different room name and link them together? Also, if I added two Roams would I link as two stereo pairs? I want to add the Roam to have a portable speaker for occasional travel and use on our patio.Thanks,Alan

Our new home is open where the family room flows directly into the kitchen. I want to add Era 100 speakers to the top of my kitchen cabinets as a “rear” channel of sorts understanding it won’t be truly surround. Anyways the distance is about 40 feet from the soundbar.  Do the Era 100s have this type of range to play the signal?  As a side note, I was looking at Bose and the range is 30’. Thanks for any help.   

I hava a sonos era 300 in the center of a room, if I connect 2 era 100 speakers on the opposite corners of the room, can this 2 era 100 speakers be connected to the era 300 as central, and the 2 era 100 act as stereo speakers, but the era 300 as stereo or dolby also?

Just added mini sub to my era300. Everything was fine then today I played with adding voice commands. When asking hey sonos to play a specific song it did but mini sub never came on. White status light illuminated but no output

I have had a bit of a headache regarding my arc, because it’s connected to my tv a the sound starts to go out sometimes so I decided to reconfigure my system but now if I put my ones, sub and arc in pair mode I can config my arc but then I can’t connect the other ones and if I try to configure the Ones first I can connect the sub but not the arc. is there someone that can help me with this problem 

Lost internet for about 2 hours last night. Internal network/wifi was fine. The Sonos app couldn’t find any speakers or do anything. I have music on a local file share and Plex.  I ended up airplaying from my phone using PlexAmp, which pulls files off my local Plex server. I was even able to group speakers by holding down the play/pause button. So the speakers were on the network. A variety of speakers (Ones, Move 1/2, Amp).  Is this something goofy with my network or is this just they way it is?

Hi there, I recently repaired (what i guess is a gen 1 play 3 as it doesn't have a play button - just mute and volume) and all worked great - updated it to S2 app and connected via 5Ghz no worries.Then repaired a gen 1 play 5, connected using S1 app as gen 1 play 5 not supported in S2 app.. Realised it had connected to the 2.4ghz after getting some drops while playing Spotify. Tried all manner of resets and router settings to get it to show the 5ghz network but no joy.Can someone who knows for sure let me know if it has 5ghz wifi at all? Just assumed it would as the play 3 does - which I guess is from the same generation. Thanks for any help 👍 

Sonos one sl speakers no longer play music. They appear in air play menu and can be selected. Apple devices think they are are playing, but no sound comes out. Tapping on the speaker top to change volume moves the volume bar on apple devces, but there is no sound. Actually they play about .5 second burst and then go silent.  I have a home pod which continues to play but all other rooms are quite.  I thought I would reset them, but the Sonos app says I am not on the internet, but obviously I am.frustrated in St. Louis
