Speakers

I have a play 5 connected directly to my PC audio out port. There seems to be major latency between when I test sound in windows and when the speaker outputs sound. Once the speaker catches up, then it works as it should in real-time.I use this in my office and it constantly stops working in the middle of meetings until I start mashing the sound icon volume up/down until windows dings and I can hear people again.Any help would be great.

I have a Sonos Play 5 Gen 1, and always thought the sound was superb.I recently tried streaming a Led Zeppelin track (Stairway to Heaven) and realised that the right hand channel has little to no sound. (That track is very good when testing stereo sound since the guitar and flute on the opening sequence are completely separated with the guitar on the left stereo channel and the flute on the right).So, my Play 5 Gen 1 has very low output on the right channel. Almost silent but not quite. The left side speaker sounds fine as does the bass.I’ve yet to open it up, and I am an electronics engineer so a repair should be relatively straightforward if I can locate the faulty item. Has anyone else had this? Is it likely to be the amp that is faulty more than the speaker, or the preamp rather than the power amp? Just trying to get some ideas before I tear it down. I’m not using it as a pair with another speaker, it is stand alone and one channel of its own internal speakers is what is not workin

Hey All. Have extensive Sonos system.  Wi-Fi is fine.  Attempted all remedies.    Diagnostic code is  79641770 suspect internal wi-if card died.    If someone from Sonos is on this board.  Let me know steps to replace / repair.  

How do I connect the PS5 to the Sonos one sl speaker system I have. I have total of 3 of the Sonos one speakers. Can the be connect to Sony PS5?

Hi, For the past few weeks by morning alarm on my SONOS ONE SL has not been playing.  It did not play again the other morning so I ran a diagnostic report: 1149023650 Please would someone mind helping me with this? Many thanks

I have set up two both the S1 (for my old Play 5) and S2 operating systems. But, occasionally when I open the S2 app I get a screen which tells me the system includes products that aren’t compatible with S2. If I go to “more options” and “about my system” it lists the Play 5 with the S2 OS. I cannot see it as a room anywhere else. How do I get it off the S2 app to stop this happening?

Play 5 speaker decided to blow on me after about 2 years. I don’t even listen to music with loud base. I have about 20 different Sonos speakers and this is the only one I’ve had problems with. I contacted online service team and they said because it’s “out of warranty” i have to pay 400 dollars to replace. Plus I have to send this blown speaker back. So I have to pay 400 on top of what i originally paid? That just sounds crazy to me. I’d think that these speakers should last way more that two years for the price point. Makes me want to just take my money elsewhere

I have no power LED on the Play 5.1. I have 124VAC to the bridge rectifier and 170VDC out of the bridge. What would be the next logical place to look? Thanks in advance - Mike

I have multiple Play 5 (Gen 1) and have a weird issue where one of the rooms shows up and plays from my iPhone but on my Mac I only see 2 of the rooms.  All the devices are indeed listed in my account online.. how do I get that the room on my Mac controller  CJ

Hello, I experienced my hardwired Sonos five audio dropout yesterday.  I have a Sonos boost that is connected to my router and the Sonos five is NOT used for surround sound. What could be the issue?

I have two Sonos ones in my bedroom one is a first GEN the other is a second GEN. Prior to using them in my bedroom they were surround speakers in my living room. I have since taken them from that group factory reset them then pair them together in stereo mode. My problem is only one speaker plays when it's in stereo mode. It's not the balance issue because I've already checked that. Sometimes if I airplay through my laptop it'll do stereo mode but most the time it's only one speaker even though they're both paired together. I factory set the speakers a few times now and still the same issue. So I have decided to put them back as surroundsound and move my Sonos play one speakers that were surroundsound's into my bedroom. I also am having the same issue with my Sonos play ones. They are in stereo mode but only one speaker plays a sound even though they are balanced correctly. I have factory reset them as well and that still doesn't fix the issue. What am I missing here?  My Wi-Fi connec

HelloI’ve recently upgraded my Playbar to a Arc. I have 2 Play 1’s as surround speakers and the system has been faultless until I swapped them over.  When I turn my tv on I have to disconnect my surrounds and reconnect them again for them to work.  The only things I’ve changed is the Playbar to Arc and I’ve turned the Arc’s wireless on due to a Ethernet cable breaking and I don’t have a spare.  I have just ordered a few Cat 6 cables due to arrive the weekend but this shouldn’t be happening should It?   

Hello I have had a Sonos Play 5 (gen 2) in the same location for well over a 1-2 years working fine. Its recently dropped off my network. I have found that it will connect to the sonos network via wifi if I move it directly next to a sonos Five only until I move it back to 1 room over. I have tried changing sonos net channels, and power cycling all the sonos devices in my home no impact. I have preformed a factory reset as well no change. I plugged it in via Ethernet for diagnosticDiagnostic report: 542547821   

I have some PLAY:1s and last year added a One SL to my system; I use the S2 controller. My problem is that Spotify will not play anything on the older speakers unless I start it on the One SL (which plays fine) then pair to an older speaker. I also have to keep them paired otherwise spotify stops playing. It's very annoying and I wondered if anyone else had an issue.

Hi!  I just purchased 2 fives and would like to be able to use the line-in port to play cds with my Sony CMT-SX7.I already connected the 3.5mm to one of the 2 fives and the RCA (red and white) to the back of the CD player. However no sound is coming out from either five (set up as stereo). Is this the right setup or am I missing a step? Photos attached.Also, the setup in the Sonos app looks complete and whenever I play a cd, the Sonos app shows there is signal (the wave icon moves up and down) even though I have no sound at all. Any advice is highly appreciated. 

Hello,I upgraded to v11.4 and the latest MIUI of my phone but it doesn’t find my Play5 S1 any more.Is there something I could try out? Adding a new system to the App doesn’t work. Does it it need some particular rights? Redmi Note 10 Pro, Android 12 (MIUI 13.0.3), Sonos S1 11.4: KOMoto X4, Android 9, Sonos S1 11.3: OKMoto X4, Android 9, Sonos S1 11.4: OKUnofficial Linux client: OK 

I had my Sonos Five and loved it for years using line-in. Today I decided to connect it to wifi and I installed the latest update. Now, crossfade on Spotify is no longer available, and when closing my Spotify app the music keeps playing.Why would you do this Sonos? What is the reason? 

I upgraded the controller yesterday to 14.6 (mac) and now my Sonos Five won’t connect. I have two other Sonos Ones that are connecting no problem.I tried factory resetting and reconnecting. That *worked* for completing the in-app process, but then at the last step it said something like “Your new device may not appear in System; if so, unplug and replug it back in.”It didn’t appear; I did unplug and replug; it still does not appear in the app.This is very frustrating. Any idea what’s up and how to fix it?

Sonos Play 1’s work fine with ALL music sources EXCEPT when trying to play music, or video, etc, via YouTube on my living room tv.  The playbar connected to the tv works, but ALL of the Play 1’s thru the house drop the sound repeatedly. However if I play a tv program the sound does NOT drop, its ONLY when using YouTube on my tv. Is there a fix for this? I see this topic in forums back in 2017 but I cant find an answer or fix. Thanks!

Each time I stop or turntable auto stops at end of side I lose audio from Five when a start playing other side/new album Turntable is Sony PS-LX310BT with built in phono stage.Have set up Five speaker with line in auto play on. Source level 10 and delay medium.  only fix I’ve found is powering off/on Five which is crazy.  Any suggestions? As I feel I’ve wasted money on the Five. Thanks

I connected my Sonos Play 1 to my cheap projector that I bought online. It would seem that the audio lags. I have connected Sonos to projector via an aux cable. I don't think my projector has a Bluetooth option. 

I’m looking for some help with my Play:3 setup. I have 2 of them in my cafe and regularly each day they stop playing, the Sonos app on my pc reports it could not play or it is not encoded correctly. At the same time, my Wi-Fi drops completely and any other devices lose their connection as well.This has only happened since the Play:3 speakers were installed. When they are turned off the Wi-Fi remains active and stable.Can anyone advise me on what the problem is?Thanks in advance.

Hi team,We have three Sonos speakers - a Sonos Beam (gen1), and two Sonos Play:1s.A few weeks ago the Sonos Play:1 speakers disappeared from our system, and I cannot get them to reconnect.When we try to factory reset them they show the error “Your play:1 has been added, but may not appear in the system tab. If so, unplug the power cord and plug it back in to finish setup of the system”.I have tried:Factory Reset (shows the error every time. after a restart won’t connect, and need to factory reset again) Changing our WIFI to separate 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands, and connecting all the sonos products to just the 2.4ghz band (doesn’t work, above error) Plugging in via ethernet (this works, but only whilst plugged in, and we can’t have our speakers there)I am at my wits end now, I can’t think of what’s gone wrong but for now these speakers might as well be broken.This error just keeps happening again and again:This is the error we keep getting 

I just got the Pro-ject T1 Phono SB and got the Sonos 5 with it as well. I think I’ve set it up right and it’s playing accurately through the record on the Sonos 5 but the quality is really poor. The Pro-ject turntable has a built-in amp so I cant figure out the issue I’m having with sound quality. Is it the turntable or the speaker or the connections between both?

Hey hey, I just moved into my new apartment however when I connect my Sub to my 2 fives it wont work. I am seeing the sub in the app and it even reacts to the “show status lights” but no bass trough the sub, only sound from 1 side of the fives. I also factory reset all my speakers with no results.  Both my fives do work in stereo mode.  diagnostic: 217549706
