Speakers

Every time I go to play something, I get a different configuration on my Sonos app…speakers that were paired get unhitched, disappear entirely or (my favorite) cannot be seen by the Sonos app even while my wife’s phone is playing on them through Sonos.  To be fair, the tv speakers seem to work fairly well…only the sub-woofer cuts out every now and then.  This is way beyond frustrating.  About every 2-3 months, I decide that I have too much money sunk in hardware to give up and I go around turning everything off and back on.  I suspect that there is something about software updates that trashes local data, but all I get out of the “tech support” is that I can reboot.  Thanks, geniuses.Has anyone had any better luck?  

I’m having 2 Play 5 Gen 2 and 1 One SL - that makes 4.4W + 3.4W = 7.8WLast week I bought a brother WLAN printer → 0.5W if deep sleep - but wakes up on WLAN - anyhow …So i bought some wireless plugs (0.2 W) and turn Sonos off if not needed …But now I loose always my group - Sonos doesn’t find a solution for 10 years: So: Sonos is consuming lots of idle power and is not willing to support power cycles. End of Sonos? 

I have a Play:1 that cannot pair with my S1 system. I have tried to factory reset and it responds in the correct way ending with a flashing green LED.I can then start the pairing in the S1 controller - the speaker is found and makes the paring sound after pressing Play/Pause + Vol+Then it starts flashing amber for about 20 seconds and then goes to solid amber. It stays there for some minutes during which the Controller times out and says “Not connected”. Eventually the LED goes back to flashing green. I have tried the “alternative setup” using a ethernet cable - same behaviour.Has anyone seen this before and is the a known fix?

I have 2 Sonos Fives connected as a stereo pair. When I move the volume slider up, the volume will stay at that level for about 3 seconds and then automatically decreases to a low level. Other Sonos Rooms playing at the same time with Sonos amps do not drop their volume, only the Room with the Sonia Fives. I have turned the Sonos system off and back on and have rebooted my iPhone 13. Also my Sonos app is up to date. Any help is appreciated.Chris

Hi There,I am getting a bit tired of the Sonos ecosystem. What used to work near flawlessly has become nothing but a nuisance since I added new speakers and was forced to use the S2 App. I have a Play: 1, SonosOne, Play:3, Play:5 (2nd gen), and a Move. The older speakers rarely show up in the app. Last night was a rare occasion where all speakers appeared. I played some music in 2 of the rooms (Play:5 and Move). Five minutes later I wanted to change songs and only the Move and SonosOne were in the app. If I check my wife’s phone, she will see something entirely different. If I use the app for my Windows Desktop, I will see different speakers than what my phone shows. But rarely, and I mean rarely, will all 5 speakers show up. I can still somewhat control them even though they won’t show up. For example, if I was previously playing music on that speaker, I can hit play on the speaker and it will play music. But I cannot change music because they don’t show up in the app. It is so frustr

I purchased a Sonos One SL in April and it has worked pretty reliably until a couple weeks ago. Now, it won’t maintain a connection on the 2.4 or 5ghz band for more than a few hours. I have tried resetting the router and switching to a different channel on the 2.4 ghz band. The Sonos usually sits about 30-40 feet from the router. If I move the Sonos closer to the router, the connection is reestablished. But when I move the Sonos to my bedroom, the connection eventually drops. My router is an Asus AC88U. None of my other devices have trouble connecting to the router.  Could the Sonos have a faulty WiFi radio. I appreciate any help with fixing this problem. 

Por qué no se compaginan mi nueva barra arc con mis altavoces One sl?ayuda por favor

Is the 1”/2.5cm air gap between subs and bottom of sofa an absolute requirement or can the sub work if perhaps the bottom material of the sofa is completely covering the sub??The material has some give upwards, ie it’s not a hard fixed base of the sofa that is pressing onto the sub.  Whilst it may not be ideal I’m trying to work out how much it will impact the sound having no airflow around the sub thanks for your advice and thoughts - oh and “put it out in the open cos it’s beautiful” isn’t really going to help me. Wife wants it hidden and trying to keep everyone happy.  thanks 

Hi,Has anyone noticed that since installing update 14.19 an intermittent problem of total loss of sound, or the 'odd' speaker dropping out, sometimes for up to approx. 5 secs?  More of an irritation than anything  else.  Never experienced this before and nothing obvious has changed on my network.I suspect the update is the problem but, one issue the update did 'cure' was a problem I had with speakers auto grouping post the previous update.Diagnostic (1066513742) provided within 5 mins of the last occurrence of this 'new' issue occurring. Any suggestions?

Since upgrade the app, I cannot get the groups ‘Upstairs’ and Downstairs to work together. The app won’t allow this. Yet I can select the speakers independently.

I have about 10 Sonos speakers (over the space of 10 years), and now (about 6-10 months ago), I can not connect to any of them. I can see them on-linesudo arp-scan -I eth0 192.168.1.1/24I can ping them, etc., but my android app can not connect to any of them. I should also mention that over the space of 10 years, Sonos has worked very poorly. Don’t touch it; it’s expensive, very poorly supported, and mostly doesn’t work.

I won’t buy another Sonos product. I’m tired of having to go through the set up and reconnection process every single time I leave it for a few days. Sonos needs to make their products as plug and play as Apple for me to come back. I have owned my play 5 for two years and in that time I have had to go through the setup/reconnection process dozens of times. It’s ridiculous. 

I have a Symfonisk speaker which I have added some time ago. Due to constant issues with it not being available in the app or for Airplay I have reset it to factory settings and re-added it.everything works fine until the moment when the app tells me I need to register it into my system. This step fails every time.any idea how this can be fixed?thanks

Is this too close to the radiator to place Sonos One? It’s the only place for surround sound with my couch.

Sonos Five the trueplay is lousy the records lose presence and forcefulness even adjusting them do not improve, in Jazz the records have no depth and the reggaeton less and if you turn up the records in the settings the records sound artificial and forced.  It sounds better without trueplay and setting the treble to 2+ and the record to 1+ in case and volume 50, you could investigate please.

I have a Denon AVR-S650H receiver which has wifi/bluetooth capabilities. Can my Sonos Play 5 Gen 1 connect to this receiver via wifi/bluetooth without additional hardware? Trying to connect as rear channel speakers with no success. I do not want to connect via cables or cords to the receiver. My research efforts found that I may need the SONOS AMP

I just bought a Sonos Roam to add to my current system of Ray, Ikea Symfonisk Lamp and Ikea Symfonisk Frame.The current system has worked without flaws for 3 months, no problem setting it up. I easily connected my new Roam to the system, and it worked fine the first evening.However, today it is completely broken. First, the Symfonisk Lamp just disappeared from the system. After a lot of hassle resetting it, I managed to get re-add it, but then the Roam stopped working, and eventually disappeared. I reconnected it, then the entire System disappeared from my app. After cutting power to all units and restarting my phone, all devices were apparently working. However, now only 3 of the 4 devices will play at any given time. It seems like the unit I am farthest away from will simply stop playing, but start playing again a few seconds after I approach it, and other units than the Roam randomly disappears and reappears in the “system” section of my app.What is happening here? Why is the Roam d

I tell Spotify on two different Pixel 6s to play music on my Play:1 speakers and it thinks it’s playing but no sound. Same if I ask Alexa to play via Echo. I can see SonosZP on my network. I dropped speakers from Alexa and Sonos app, I have unplugged and plugged in again, same result. Any ideas?

Hi,I encounter a problem with my sonos One SL.My One SL stop playing after one song of an album (store as MP3 on my phone : Samsung A52S Android V12). All the album is on the playlist, and music starts again when I unlock my phone and go on the app.I have no problem with radios so far or others music applications. I check all Android parameters for sleep mode, application not used, battery saving and everything is disabled. My WI-FI settings seems OK.I check different topics but nothing solve this issue.Any idea what can be the problem ?Thanks for the help.

Hello,I would like to connect my Sonos Play 1 that is from 2018 to a video projector Xiaomi Mi Smart that has a bluetooth connection, a usb 2.0 port , hdmi port and a jack port. Do you think it is possible to connect?Thank you!

When I switch my Sonos  from tv to anything else, it looses the network connection and all 5 pieces of my system need to be reinstalled. And it looses the connection to the television. Today I can’t even do that. I really wish I hadn’t invested in Sonos. Something is always wrong with it. 

Really frustrating issue. Set up is Apple TV 4K to Sony Bravia TV, with eARC to Sonos arc. Every time I listen to something with Dolby Atmos, ~30s in there’s a loud pop and then no audio until I reboot everything. Anyone else with a similar setup and no issues want to share their settings? Based on how long this issue goes back it seems like something Sonos would really want to fix. I’ve had multiple couples/friends that were about to pull the trigger and buy a Sonos system after seeing how well it plays music throughout the house that ultimately decided to go with something else after sitting through a movie cycle of start movie with atmos, get 30s in, startling pop, then no audio, turn off and repeat x3, give up and watch something else.
