Speakers

I bought the Sonos Arc and Sub from Costco yesterday.Everything works fine except the AirPlay. My network equipment is Unifi UDM pro + AP. I tried both wired and wireless (2.4G), restarting both the iPhone and Sonos Arc a few times, and tried iPad. iPhone with iOS 16, iPhone with iOS 17 and MacBook. None of them works. I don't have Apple TV to test AirPlay 2, but I can AirPlay from my phone to my MacBook. Whenever I tried to AirPlay to the Sonos, I immediately got the "unable to connect family room" error. How can I fix it? Thanks in advance!

Hi everybody,I’m actually testing a Sonos Five speaker with my Wi-Fi company infrastructure (Cisco).Our SSID is configured with a static WPA3 psk key and it seems that this kind of encryption is not accepted during the pairing of the speaker between the Phone (Sonos app) and the speaker.The phone is unable to connect the speaker (the devices are on the same WLAN).If I change the security to WPA2 it works correctly.I’ve got also a Sonos One speaker that works perfectly with the same WLAN using WPA3.Do you have any issues with Sonos Five and WPA3? Thanks

My Sonos Era 100 wall brackets cannot hold the speaker in place. If you turn the speaker to the side, it falls down as the bracket cannot hold it in place. Is there any solution to the problem?

Hi Sonos,I'm going on holiday in America soon and was planning to buy the era 100's there, so I can use them in the Netherlands. Because of the major price difference, its very tempting to buy them in America. Can I use the era 100's without any problems in the Netherlands? Or is there something I need to take in consideration? Kind regards, Nathan

HelloI can’t progress past the orange & white flashing light stage of a factory reset of my Play:1. When I attempt to add the speaker, although the set up procedure finds the Play:1 lets me add it to the temporary Sonos network, I get no ‘audio pin chime’ from anywhere, so I can’t progress. Any advice?Kind regards

My sonos app constantly tells me that it is "Unable to connect to sonos. Let's fix it". This only hapoens with my Era 100, not the my Beam.The app then it sends me on a 5+ minute long wizard in which always ends with me having to reset my router before i can use sonos on my phone. Then in about 24 hours, or if I unplug the sonos to move to a different room, i have to do the entire thing over again for me to use it on my phone.I just reset my router about 5 hours before this post and it was working. Now my sonos app now says it cannot connect. How do I prevent this? What is breaking my connection? 

In reviewing the input to the ERA 300, it uses a USB-c connection then guides you to use their line-in adaptor or combo adapter. Problem is, the eARC out on my TV is HDMI. Am I supposed to try to find a super high speed HDMI cable with USB-c on other end? IMHO using all of the adaptors is asking for issues and compromises the potential quality of the signal. How is someone supposed to connect the ERA 300 to the eARC out on a newer HDTV? I believe wired connections are superior and much more consistent than wireless/bluetooth. Any assistance is appreciated, 

I was gifted a Roam and I wanted to add it to my Sonos system. It is incompatible with S1 - and most of my speakers are the same. In the process of trying to split the system, I disconnected a Play:5 from my system. I tried to reconnect it using the various instructions online. No joy! The reason is that when I go to my S1 Controller on my iPhone and +Add Product, it simply refers me to an Update requirement for my system - to S2. I simply cannot add a product to my existing S1 system. 

So I’m connected to my Sonos Move via bluetooth to my Macbook Pro (16-inch 2021 M1) on macOS Ventura 13.3.1(a). Playing music from either iTunes/Apple Music, VLC, Spotify. I hit pause to watch something on YouTube, but all audio is now muted. I then continue playing music, and by muting the music I can finally watch the YouTube-video. I’ve tested on another bluetooth speaker (Logitech Megaboom 3), and this issue does not occur there. So it seems like this is a bluetooth issue with Sonos.I’m gonna test if I get the same behaviour on my Windows-computer as well. Anyone else have this problem? I’ve seen this mentioned around the internet, but then related to other bluetooth audio products.

Hallo,mir hat jemand gebrauchte Play 5 angeboten. Wie kann ich am besten die Funktion prüfen und das es nicht irgendwelche Nachbauten sind. Google Translate:Hello,Someone offered me a used Play 5. What's the best way to check that it's working and that it's not just a replica?

Hey all,  I’m encountering an issue with my Sonos One that’s driving me crazy and I feel like I tried everything, so I’m looking for help at this point.  I have two ‘rooms’ setup:The main setup with an Arc, Sub, two rear Play:1s that’s working perfectly - we’ll call this the Arc group A solo Sonos One that we bought around 2018 and has been used for ambiental music, especially at night on Sonos Radio.  Everything has been working perfectly until recently and we’ve been adding/upgrading Sonos products in our system since we started. However, recently (about 1 or so months ago), the Sonos One started behaving weird, stopping and then becoming inaccessible until we unplug and plug it back in. I’ll detail the setup, the problem and what I tried - if anyone has ideas, i’m open to suggestions.   The setup:All speakers are on wireless network The network is served by a fairly high-end Asus router - this is not a recent addition and the system has worked flawlessly until recently - no changes

Hi Everyone, I have an open plan living room with a play5, 2x Sonos ones and a beam and a sub.Occasionally we like to have parties and at the moment I’ve all the Sonos app at 100% for all speakers and it still doesn’t sound loud enough to feel like you want to dance. It’s not quiet but it’s not loud enough to sound like you are out somewhere.  Any advise to make it louder? I brought the extra speakers thinking it would make it louder but it doesn’t seem to increase the volume when you add another speaker - it just means it doesn’t get quieter when you walk around the room as there is solid coverage around the room. thanks for any recommendations you may have?

Hi,  I have a Sono amp with two wired ceiling speakers.  I want to add two Sono speakers to the outside area to play the same as the kitchen speaker.  However I only have one wire to the outside.  Is it ok the wired the two outside speaker in series and if so do I need any extra devices.Thanks for an6 advice

Era 100 won’t connect to wifi. Finds our network but with changes name and won’t connect with correct password.

How do I connect an Astell & Kern SP2000T to the ERA 300 and get high res sound ?

I just ordered a set of era 100’s and I’m wondering if you are able to turn the speaker on Sonos mount to accommodate the angle needed for rear speaker setup, is the speaker round or oblong? The 17 degree swivel isn’t enough as they will be directly behind the sofa that backs up against the wall.  Hope that’s more clear than mud :)

My play 5 is on the network in my house while my play one speakers ended up on the other network with  google.  How can I get the play one speakers on the same network?   I have tried a factory rest. 

Sub is paired to the Arc....the startup sound when linking the sub is very impressive but after that the sub is exceptionally low and imperceptible...checked wifi setting toom position etc. No luck. I have looked at many responses to the same problem and found no solutions that work

Recenly purchased a new Sony Bravia XR90L.My soundbar connects via an optical cable, but the TV requires a HDMI connection.Is there an adapter than can convert the connection from the optical to HDMI.Thank you

For some reason my 2 play One speakers will not stay connected.  This is new as I had the 2 play Ones connected with my play Five.  They are all on Wi-Fi and the connection is excellent.  Additionally , I have done the factory reset on the play Ones twice.   They connect for a minute and drop off   I haven’t made any changes to my network,etc   Any help would be appreciated 

I have an outbuilding that is connected to the internet through a wireless access point. It is the same signal as the house but with a different name. I have a Five in there so need the outhouse WiFi to be a trusted network. My issue is that I have two Era 100s in my conservatory that isnt too far away from the outbuilding so you can pick up the WiFi signal sometimes. They are connected to the network in the house but occasionally pick up the signal in the outbuilding. How can I stop them from connecting to this network? The signal is visible but the strength isn’t great unless you’re in the outbuilding. It’s causing them to lose connection and then reconnecting to the house WiFi, but I can’t make the switch networks manually. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It’s like a game of whack-a-mole dealing with Sonos issues. I purchased a new Arc since Tech support couldn’t help me get my Playbar to stop cutting out. The arc is working fine($800 later), but Alexa won’t properly control groups I create within the app. I have disabled the skill, removed all the groups, deleted all the devices, and registered everything. When I make a group called “upstairs speakers,” Alexa says okay but only plays the music on one group of upstairs speakers. Same happens for when I try to play music everywhere using a different group. If I use the Sonos voice integration, the commands work fine. Obviously it’s an Alexa integration issue, but there is no way I’m dealing with Amazon tech support, which may be the only thing worse than Sonos tech support. Is there any way to make this work properly? Why would it choose some speakers in a group vs others to use?

How do I eliminate the Line In audio delay on my Move 2?  To clarify I would like to have no delay.  Thank you  

Hi,I am having trouble getting a Playbar to recognize the volume controls from a new remote and am looking for options or advice.I have a new TCL TV and an old Playbar. The Playbar worked great with the previous TV via optical audio, including recognizing the TV's IR remote volume up/down commands. The new TCL remote is Bluetooth and IR. I have turned off Bluetooth on the TV and confirmed the remote is now using IR-only by covering/uncovering its IR emitter with the TV receiving/not receiving commands.During pairing with this new remote, the Playbar will recognize it has seen a volume + signal, though it is temperamental -- the remote has to be in about the "right" position. However, the Playbar never recognizes the next steps of pressing the volume + button three times.I have tried different batteries and I have tried with the TV on, off, and unplugged. In all cases, the Playbar will recognize the first volume +, even if temperamental to position, but will not recognize three volume +

As far as I know this only started a couple of days ago after the last of our computers got their latest Sonos Controller for PC updates (to 15.9). We have been out of town for 2 months, and only have been back for the last week.ISSUE: volume drops to nothing from some of the grouped devices.REPRO STEPS:set a group (“main” device is Play 3 which has a wired connection remainder of devices are connected via wi-fi) play music from Spotify (have not been playing from many other sources, so cannot swear it doesn’t happen with other sources) This morning, I was playing for about 20 minutesRESULTS: no volume from most devices in the groupDIAGNOSTIC 2066897565NOTE:Devices are still seen as connected to the group Devices have a light showing they are connected Pressing volume up/down buttons on the devices with no volume is reflected in the Controller App UI Pressing pause and play buttons on the device with no volume pauses/restarts play on the devices that are still having volume in the grou
