Era 300 Bluetooth doesn't work with occasional dropouts

I’m having trouble with my Era 300 speaker. The Bluetooth cuts out periodically when connected to Android (Pixel 8). It doesn’t appear to happen with iOS (though I’ve not tried it very long with an iPhone). I’ve tried rebooting and pairing again. It happens with AAC and SBC.The support line says an estimated wait of 85 minutes. No way am I waiting that long!I sent diagnostics with the number 1285931875.If I can’t get this solved soon I’ll have to return the speaker.

Sonos plays in wrong room

Ever since the new update, the Sonos keeps playing in the wrong room and jumping in between rooms any time I try to change it. Is this a known issue? I use these speakers for our business, so they’re about to go in the trash

money back guarantee

If I knew how bad the customer service was at Sonos I would have never purchased a single product. One of my speakers disconnects every morning and it’s impossible to get a hold of tech support to get help. I want a refund for all my products. How do I get support?

Hiding Output of Sonos Amp

Hello -I love the new app!Ive always wondered since I bought my Sonos Amp - is it possible to Hide the Amp in my output choices? I only use my Amp as an input for our old turntable, and don’t have anything hooked up to the output (no external speakers).Is it possible to hide the Amp Output? Then I could click the “Everywhere” setting when selecting output instead of clicking each of my speakers individually. thank you much!-Garnet

Router

Sonos website claims “Effortless Listening,” but that has not been my experience. I am confused on router requirements. First, the website says works with any router, but the technician said I could not use the supplied Spectrum router because it did not separate the bandwidths.   So I bought a nice, good router Netgear Nighthawk AX6. Now, Sonos technicians say I need to separate the channels because of interference. (I have sent many diagnostics and was never told that before.) Why does Sonos not tell you exactly what you need before you buy?

Sonos One Not completing software update

New to me Sonos One - completed a factory reset - sonos app finds the speaker & asks if i want to connect - Proceed with connection and the app says that a software update must be completed in order to proceed.  Successfully initiate the upgrade but it never completes.  I have let it run for over 24 hours.  I have re-booted my modem, my souter and completed another factory reset and got the same outcome.  SONOS Cust Serv (after waiting 90 mins to connect - that should tell you something - has me do it all again and surprise - same outcome ) conclude that the issue is my EERO Router and extenders.  Interesting - I have 8 other speakers that work perfectly well on my network.  Sonos you can’t have it both ways.

4 devices with inet6 addr: dropping RX packets

Hi,I've searched the forums and google but cant seem to find the answer.I have 5 speakers on my network that are loosing some RX packets. 2 x beams and 3 x play 1s. I can see a pattern between these speakers and the rest of my system but I don't know if it related to the packet loss. The 5 speakers all have inet6 addr: in both eth0 (WAN interface) and br0 (LAN bridge), and WM: 0 but no OTP: at the bottom of the list in the Sonos Controller About My system menu.The packet loss is mostly on br0 LAN bridge for all the problem speakers.  running /sbin/ifconfigbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 94:9F:3E:72:E8:7A inet addr:192.168.1.17 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::969f:3eff:fe72:e87a%1995899440/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:505413 errors:0 dropped:421 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:16141 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0

All but one speaker stopped working

Two of my speakers weren’t working, but someone who is part of this community helped me figure out how to get them working. I was having a fabulous time listening to music, and then all of the speakers except one just stopped. I’ve tried everything, but I can’t get the other speakers to start working. It seems a lot of people are having problems with this new app.  Any advice out there?

Roam SL Speaker Does not connect

I setup a new Sonos system about a month ago and it was easy and works great.  I have 5 OneSL speakers, 2 Beams and 3 Roam SL speakers. I just purchased 2 more Roam SL speakers yesterday and they won’t connect to my system. The app sees them during setup and then says it fails.  I’ve been reading that it might be the new app. I did the original setup with the old version of the app and can’t add these 2 speakers with the new app.  Any advice ?

chargeback to sonos?

Maybe if we all chargeback Sonos for a failed product it will get their attention? Feels like a non resolving problem and half my system is broken. things were working great then the update caused things to disappear and require to be registered again. And of course you can’t…  Useless support and useless ceo.

how do i wake up my era 100 speaker

I got two new era 100 speakers and it was a real bear trying to get them to even hook to my Wi-Fi. Some of that was due to my Wi-Fi. When I got that fixed, in about another 30 minutes l, I worked my way through the incredibly feeble Sonos app and got both of my speakers linked and working. We listen to music for a while perfectly. That was last night. I just went to turn them back on today and only one of my speakers shows in the app. The other speaker will not show any lights or make any noise. I have tried unplugging it and powering it back. Nothing. Nothing has changed since last night. It's like it's either dead or it's asleep and I don't know how to wake it up. Can I get some suggestions on where to start looking for this problem. I've only had these speakers 2 days and I'm already tired of looking for problems. Thank you for your help.
