Speakers

Good afternoon all,I’m after some help/advice please, to enable my 2 Sonos play 1 speakers to work wirelessly on my new wifi network. I’ve followed numerous help articles online, but without success, hence this post.Situation:I’ve recently introduced a new mesh wifi system to my home to increase WiFi coverage. (this has included introducing a new mesh hub, which is plugged into the existing router via an ethernet cable)Challenge:Despite numerous steps (see below), I have been unable to get by play speakers to work on the new network wirelessly. FYI the speakers will work when connected via ethernet cable to the new mesh hub, but this is not a viable solution moving forward.Steps taken so far (following advice in the app and help articles):Removed the 2 speakers from the app (so that no products show in the Sonos app when it re-loads) Factory re-set the speakers (however they do not display a green light when powered - instead the light goes solid white after flashing white and orange)

the sonos ray works fine but every few days the white light blinking and I am not able to do factory reset

Apologies for the longish title but there are a lot of threads discussing speakers dropping, but none seemed exactly like mine. I love my Sonos system but ran into connection issues when I changed my WiFi from Xfinity cable to an ATT Fiber Router and added two Eero 6+ mesh devices to get signal around my house. While I’m not an IT expert, so excuse any naming errors, I am not afraid to try things out.My system: S2 app, Play 1 gen 1 & Sub Gen 3 (Grouped), Amp (Outdoor Speakers), Arc Ultra (TV), and Boost (now offline). Everything is wireless, no direct connections after dropping the Boost. My Issue: After connecting everything, which took a while, the Arc Ultra kept getting dropped. If it connected, then either the Amp or the Grouped Play 1s or Sub would get dropped. I could see all of the devices in ATT Gateway Router (Nokia) and on my Eero app. After researching the issue, I think that there were conflicts with the wifi bands and wifi sources. The speakers were connecting to the A

I have spent an hour and a half trying to reconnect my Play 5 gen 2 to my system. I use the s1 app and I used to be able to group my Play 5 gen 1 and gen 2 together. I can only connect the Play 5 gen as ‘living room’. My Play 5 gen 2 shows as ‘bedroom two’ only for the upgrade offer.  I spent an eternity trying to login I changed my pw 5 times none were accepted. I got cut off from the help line 4 times but someone did finally manage to make my pw work finally before I got cut off. I did every reset that I could sometimes more than once . They kept asking for my phone number but didn’t use it so what was the point? I gave up in the end it’s still not working, it used to so I can only think it is the new s 1 app that upgraded whilst I was being forced to repeatedly login! I don’t like complaining and I love the sound of the speakers when they are working so it is very depressing that a simple thing that worked before will no longer work. 

Hi all.  Gen1 play5, play 1 and a bridge.2 weeks ago Sonos S1 cannot connect to system.  Full reset to everything.Still would not find Bridge (always had ethernet cable to bridge).Will find play 5 when I connect play5 to ethernet cable.  Also then sees play 1 but not bridge.Happy to play music at this point.App then falls over when we move to wifi connection.Any ideas? Have Sonos decided 10years is enough and they want more£?

Will it work with mini sub ?

After coming home from a month long vacation, my Sonos system shows it’s not connected. This has happened before. I purchased and used NordVPN. Last time I used ExpressedVPN. Every speaker shows not connected except for Move & Move 2, which connects and playing. I disconnected vpn on my iPhone and iPad when we got home today. All of my speakers should show up?

Our speaker (Sonos S18) stopped working So we did a factory reset and it still didn’t do anything.  I reconnected it to the Sonos app and it shows in the app.The speaker has  been unplugged for almost 2 weeks when we plugged it in, the white light is on, but we do not get any sound or any response from it.  

Hello, I’ve had Symfonisk and Play:1 in my system without major issues, but after connecting a Playbase this weekend, it’s only been misery. I bought it knowing it would have issues with the wifi-card based on the know issues (and the seller said he issues connecting with it), but thought cabling it should work. But even connected with ethernet and optical from my tv, it’s been wreaking havoc with the already connected speakers in the app. Its unstable both on its own and making the app crash, sometimes it connects, othertimes not, cutting in and out. Tried disabling the wifi, but then it stopped connecting at all and I had to reset it. Trueplay makes the app crash and the Playbase unavailable. I’ve tried over and over again, resetting it and adding it again, but it just won’t work properly.  Now I’ve unplugged it and added the other speakers again, so the app and the other speakers work fine again. Is this a known issue? I thought it should work when cabled even though the wifi-card i

Lost all connection on most Sonos 1 products play 1 , connect : amp , sub, boostNo changes to my network .now I am messages Incompatible equipment have always still been able to use my “legacy “ equipment … it would cost me a small fortune to replace 7 products to S2!any ideas on what to do ?  Or what changed with S1 products . thanks in advance 

The last few days someone has been able to get into my Sonos system and control it.  I was on the phone with Sonos today but they don’t know what is going on.  They had me doing the diagnostics many times today.  They are lost.  I have changed all my passwords to my Wifi and Sonos.  It didn’t help.  We have a house wide system and they keep getting on and turning the outdoor system to full volume.  It is bugging the neighbors.  We have 4 amps powering a home theatre and two subs in the backyard.  We have a theatre night planned for tomorrow but this may be done.  I am going to power it down for now but I need help.  I found this on youtube Is this true.  While I was typing they just did it again.  

antes que nada, saludar a todos en el canal. Deciros que seguramente se encuentren muchas personas en el mismo problema que tuve yo, por eso quiero compartirlo. Un día mi SONOS ONE dejo de conectarse a la red sin mas… después de muchas investigaciones, de hablar con servicio tecnico que me recomendó hablar con el proveedor de mis conexiones porque tenia una configuración del router o red muy complicada que realizar… Ese dia descubrí el problema… es una tontería. Todos los extensores de red wifi modernos vienen con 2 bandas 2,4 ghz y 5g. pues el sonos one no reconoce la 5g solo puede configurarse por la 2,4ghz. Solo desconectando momentáneamente la 5g se soluciona el problema de inmediato. No hace falta hacer nada mas, ni llevar todo a ajustes de fabricas ni nada… es super sencillo, lo que antes estaba horas para buscar sin llegar a buen puerto, ahora en un segundo se conecta… solo es eso, 2,4 ghz… Espero ayudar a mucha gente. Saludos Cordiales. Moderator edit: adding Google Translation

Hi everyone, I have a Sonos Playbar that shows a solid white light immediately after plugging in the power (not flashing). Nothing else happens — it doesn’t boot or respond. I connected a JTAG interface and it only outputs “NAND Boot…”. It seems like the u-boot bootloader might be corrupted or not starting properly. Has anyone encountered this issue before or managed to recover a Playbar in this state?Would it be possible to reflash the u-boot using a programmer, and if so, what tools or procedure would be needed? Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

I am unable to add shared folder on my Brennan B3 from my sonos app.  The pathway doesnt work even though I follow all steps. Can anyone help?

When I pause for about 10 seconds and hit play again, It says it cannot play this content and either restarts the song or skips to the next song in the queue. Also the scrubbing bar gets out of sync with the music. It will be near the end of a song and the bar will still be in the middle. I am on the latest app version and all of my speakers are on the latest firmware version.

I picked up a Play:1 at Goodwill for the low price of $20 (kind of a steal noting how much they go for online), but if the speaker is above 45% volume on most songs, it loses bass and goes completely flat. I'm guessing that the speaker is worn out from age, so what's some recommended speakers to take it's place, or repair options?

Changed WiFi router and although it converses with Alexa and BBC Sounds, the request never gets passed through to the server.

I have posted before that I have a Gen 1 Play 5 on S1 and an Arc on S2. Each used a separate account and network. Once I have done resets, S1 will play for a few days  it then the "Sonos fond Connect" message comes up and my Play 5 does not get to play music. This is so frustrating and should be fixed by a line of code. If S1 is connected to Play 5 Hen1, then do not try to  connect to S2. Surely someone at Sonos can  ome up with a solution to this recurring problem. Yes, I know they would prefer me to buy something new, but based on this fiasco, it wouldn't be Sonos. The Play 5 is a great speaker. The support is rubbish.

Play 3 and Play 1 distorted sound is there anything that can be done 

*Why did I lose more than half of my speakers? This is just too bad, more than half of my speakers has suddenly lost connection. 

The Play:5 works intermittently, and the longer it’s on the more stable it gets, even to the point of no interruptions. 

Both of my Play 3 speakers quit working around the same time and now wont turn on. I have tried the factory reset by unplugging, holding the play button and plugging back in. No luck and no light with either one. Any suggestions? Thank you,

The subject of Era 300 drivers being silent in a particular use case has been broached in this community many times. Below are a few examples:Some users have noted that the inward-facing drivers are not as loud as they expected, while others have found the audio experience to be great. There is a desire for more control over the drivers, with some users suggesting an option to activate the front drivers during music playback, especially when the Era 300s are not being used for home theater. Some users have also expressed a desire to be able to use both sets of drivers, while others are happy with the current setup. As you can see the opinions are varied. For the record this author finds no problem with the Era 300 driver configuration(s). However, that’s not to say that you should be of the same opinion. I will add that the question of Era 300 design (IMO) is answered by ​@Jamie A  in the post below:https://en.community.sonos.com/home-theater-229129/era-300-rear-driver-is-silent-with-a
