Speakers

Upon initiating a session on Spotify, (or any service) the music promptly plays across all speakers. However, when skipping to the next track, there's an aggravating delay of 5 to 30 seconds before most speakers start playing the music.  I recall reading a comment suggesting that assigning a static IP address to the system might be beneficial.  I cannot find any real information about this type of set up.  Is it true?  Is there something else I can do or is this a normal occurrence for a Sonos system?

My sonos play 3 light will not turn green following factory reset, It only blinks amber, it makes no sound upon trying to connect. 

Hi,I just notice my sub-mini is making an almost imperceptible humming / buzzing electric noise when connected to the electricity. It is only noticeable if I place my ear very close to the unit, almost touching it.Is it normal? Does your unit also make this noise?Second question, I also noticed the sub-mini does a small pop when starting some songs, not very loud. Is it normal? This happened since the last update (15.9).Thanks!

I have a two Sonos Play 5 speakers paired for stereo.  They are set vertically.  While looking at the manual for another topic I noticed something that confused me about set up of the stereo pair.  In the product guide I have it under “Creating A Stereo Pair” it states“• When placed vertically, Volume Up is above the logo; Volume Down is below the logo.”The images shown in the vertical set up example on that page have both Sonos logos on the outside of the speaker.  This is also how mine are set.  I have also seen where both speakers have the images on the inside of the speakers.  But, in either setting one speaker will have the volume up above the speaker and the other will be below the speaker.Looking at the Play 5 Gen 2 horizontally the volume up control is on the right.  If you turn the speaker with the logo to the left for vertical placement the volume control will be above the logo as described above,  Doing that though would place the left speaker Sonos logo on the outside of th

Hello, I have an Old SONOS Play:1 that I can't seem to pair, tried all the usuals and ran through he app test etc and am getting no response or connection. The Play 1 has a white flashing light. Any ideas or is it time to use as a door stop.??

I found that simply changing the name of the system might solve Airplay Error.For example, change the name of your system from “bedroom” to “bedroom 2”, and choose I haven't moved any Sonos speakers for the Trueplay.Hope this trick also works for you.

This is a simple question, but is there any way to connect a Sonos One speaker to a TV using a Sonossound bar?

My phone was able to detect the Play3 but when the Sonos Play 3 was supposed to play an audio code, there was no sound. I tried pressing on the volume up button but there was still no sound. Alternatively, I followed the app prompts and pressed on the play/pause button, but nothing happened either. How do I fix this?My account has no system either since I have not been able to connect to any of my sonos products.

Sonos worked fine for us for years but, for some reason our Sonos system pooped the bed several months ago and is, unfortunately, unfixable.  Why Sonos tanked we cannot say.  Sonos seems no longer to be able to maintain their own, simple tech.  It’s slipped away from them. There is no way we have the time to be on the phone with Sonos each time there is a problem, and there is no way Sonos will help figure out the big picture.  They can address why our speakers disconnect each time it happens (which is each time we try to use Sonos), but they can’t tell us why it happens every day, nor fix all the other problems we have with the app every day (play button doesn’t work, everything grayed out, spinning wheel, music continues to play after Sonos quits and many more)So, it’s clearly time to cut our losses, sell the system on eBay and try something else.What is a good alternative to Sonos?  Being able to use Spotify is critical.

Hello If i use timed playback on my ERA100 the green light comes on for a few second's at the end of playback.Wouldn’t be an issue but it’s in the bedroom and wakes you up as your trying to nod off. Cant see a setting that stops this?

Hi all,I’ve been using an S1 Amp for a decade, it’s still going strong, but I’ve recently moved and have a lot more space where I live - having multiple speakers is now something I’m keen to do.But: my new place is large, and I have a vague memory that the speakers might need to talk via their own wifi network with each other, rather than using my home’s wifi network. If this is the case, I suspect I’m going to have a problem because brick walls and wifi aren’t good friends - I’ve had to put in multiple access points, but if S1 speakers don’t use the existing network, I might be out of luck with this plan.For what it’s worth: the room where the Amp is has an S1 Bridge with an ethernet connection to the rest of the network, but adding more Bridges in other rooms isn’t an option.So: do S1 speakers need to talk to each other directly (via their own mesh wifi), or can they communicate entirely through an existing wifi network?

Hi,does anybody know how to connect an DUAL Recordplayer to a SONOS One SL?I appreciate any help. Thanks a lot. Frank

Hi! Is it possible to use one Era 100 or 300 speaker as a single TV speaker in this way?Or is one of the sound bars the ONLY simple option?

I have an Sonos One SL that I mainly use with AirPlay on an iPhone 13 but my issue is that when I AirPlay things I cannot control the volume on my phone,  I can have the volume at 0 or 100 it will still be the same, I’m forced to use the touch controls or the app, how can I fix that ?

I have recently changed Internet provider and swapped everything over. However, I have playbar, various play 1's all work OK. I have 2 play ones that when I connect them I lose everything else, any ideas please?

Hello. There is no access to routers or AP’s in this retirement community and my 94 year old mom would really just like to listen to a little music on her Play One.I do not know what to say to the IT people who are well-intentioned and helpful, in order to get them to help this process.Any advice would be very much appreciated.Thanks, David

Will the line input bridge via Bluetooth to a paired pair of 300s?

I have two grouped Era 100s, I want my gf to be able to control the volume (or song but volume is the most important piece) if I am playing music. How can she do that?

Hello,  I am looking at getting a couple of Era 100 speakers. I have a record player with a line out, and wondered if plugged into one speaker will it connect/play across all other speakers around the house?  I’m looking at the best/cheapest way to listen to my vinyl in multiple rooms. And this looks like it could be an easy work around for someone who is not very technical.  Any advice would be appreciated!  Ian.

Just purchased a single Era 100 for my bedroom intended to replace the Sonos One currently there and use the line in facility to connect my TV sound out via the headphone port, checked the help pages which tells me how to select the line-in source but the S2 app states line-in is disconnected even when the the USBC to Line in adaptor is plugged in, any ideas how how to make it work please ?

Just be the best speaker company, your core competencies. Forget the streaming services, customers will decide what they want to listen to. what I choose to put through my Sonos speakers is important to me.I am having second thoughts before investing further with Sonos speakers because of the restrictions. I also believe other Sonos customers have these second thoughts.Your not good in the streaming business, stick to the speaker business, you will gain more repeat and more business with your speaker business.Your business pioneered great wireless speakers.Stay focused with what your customers want.thank youAlex

This has been very frustrating. I recently moved and had to change routers. I was using an ASUS router and had zero issues with my Arc, Sub, and two One SL speakers being connected. I can get the Arc and Sub connected just fine and they work great but the two One SL will not connect to my WiFi and I cannot figure out why. Can someone help me with this issue please!? 

I have had a Sonos set up since April 2017.  I have a pair of Sonos Ones in the kitchen set up as Stereo pair and a TV Soundbar plus Bass unit in the living room.  I have another Sonos one in a room my wife uses as a Studio.  To avoid overload on the house Wi-Fi network I have a separate Sonos Boost plugged into the router.  All of the units are at least five years old.All of this has all worked perfectly until recently when we have started to get ‘drop outs’ on the set up in the living room when playing music or internet radio.  The sound will continue in the kitchen and Studio but drop out for a few seconds in the living room before coming back in again.  Any ideas on what could be the cause?I have done some searching on a possible cause but the suggested answer is poor wi-fi and that I should move a offending unit closer to the source.  I struggle to accept this as for five years everything has worked perfectly and it has only recently started to misbehave.  In any event, the Boost

Idle Auto Disconnect is turned off and yet ERA 300 speaker shutoff and I have to unplug from the outlet and plug back in for it to reconnect.

I how two Sonos 1s (2nd generation) and the sub mini in my home office.  I am looking to connect a stand alone CD player to this setup.  Which Sonos products (current or discontinued) would accomplish this?
