Speakers

Maybe I’m imagining this but fairly recently, possibly since the new app, the fade in on the alarm doesn’t always work.  Some (most) days the music fades up and isn’t too much of a shock in the mornings, but on other days it comes straight on at full volume.  I wondered if this could be something to do with the fade in starting at the point of the alarm triggering, rather than when the music starts - so if the music takes a while to cache the fade has finished by the time it starts playing?   Just wondered if this is a new bug or just me!

Cum pot da subscribe pt voice control?

I have a pair of Play:1 speakers I bought several years ago but never connected. Now, in a new house, I want to use them.  However, I cannot get them to connect. I have tried “everything:” wirelessly, wired, after resets, the whole thing.  Why? Who have I pissed off in the “-verse” so much that they’re messing with me? (obvious sarcasm here)Anybody with a suggestion, please and thanks?   

Hey there. I use Deezer as my music provider on my Sonos setup. Everything seems to be working properly, e.g. I can listen to particular songs, albums, playlists, etc.My issue is that when I start s station from a particular song, I can see in the app that it tries to play songs but ends up skipping most of them. The weird thing is that if I start a station from an artist, all works well. Anyone experiencing a similar issue?

My office wifi has recently been changed and the security put in place will not allow me to use my sonos on the network.  (UPnP disabled/Multicast disabled).  My IT guy told me that the only way to use it in the office is with bluetooth. When I press the bluetooth button on the back of the speaker it doesn’t make a chime sound it makes a short “blip” sound and never starts flashing blue. I have unplugged, reset, done all of that but nothing is working.  I set it up on the wifi network even though my app and speaker can’t talk to each other.  I don’t know what else to do, any insights?

Ever since I set up my speakers...first my Symfonisk pair, then Sonos Roam pair, and most recently a Sub Mini, they all randomly turn on and off. One minute my Right Symfonisk turns off...30 seconds later it’s back on. The Sub Mini (paired with Symfonisks) is on one minute, then off and I can’t get it back on. Turn the volume up and down and sometimes it will turn back on. What’s the deal?Also, my Sub Mini will work with the Sonos App, but not when I play straight from Airplay/Apple Music.

Hi, I'm looking into buying the S.M.S.L PL200 MQA-CD Player.  It has optical and coaxial outputs.  will I be able top connect it to one of my Play 5 (Gen 1) speakers? 

Hello everyone.A question about Sonos Era 300.The "Sonos voice Control" voice commands work well (I have those of ehco dot of Alexa but it doesn't understand anything and does what it wants) also on Tidal the voice commands work.Do I have any constraints if I don't have an Apple smartphone?As for bass performance, is the Five model or Era 300 better? (I can always add a Sub Gen3).Thank you very much for the answers.

When is the Sonos Five expecting a refresh?  I am on the fence to purchase one. I want the latest model. 

Bonjour, je souhaiterais savoir connecter mon système, en filaire ou sans fils? Actuellement j’ai 2 beam dans 2 pieces différente qui sont connecté en ethernet (dois-je activer en plus la fonction wifi dans les paramètres) et le reste de mon installation est en wifi. 

So, at the weekend I noticed that our Lounge (Arc, Sub & 2x Play 3) was missing from the App. As was the Port in our garden cabin.The rest of the house (Conservatory with a Sub & 2xOneSL, the Patio with 2xPlay1’s, a stand alone Play1 and the Kitchen with 2xOneSL & Mini-sub) were all working well. Note; one Play3 is hardwired, all other components work by WiFi. Port in Cabin is connected by Cat5 or 6 cable to a TP-Link router. Always worked fine.Back-story: Previously with Virgin Media - rubbish connection, drop outs etc. Tried with & without Boost, hardwired one Play3 etc to no avail. Switched to Sky Max Hub in September 24. Sky extender pod added to system in February 25 to help WiFi around house & get rid of black spots , all working great. Second extender pod added early March. We are now mid-March.I tried Factory Reset, re-adding the components, Rebooting each of the products and rebooting my Router, but none of it seems to work.The closest I get is that some pr

Hi all. Hoping for feedback for something on my mind. I am no audiophile and only just started to listen to music late in life. I mainly listen to jazz, instrumentals and easy going songs. My Sonos gear is in my open plan living area.Been using a pair of Sonos Play 5 Gen 1 and a Sub Gen 2 on S1 app for better part of a year. Very happy. Sub made a world of difference.Then curiosity got the better of me and I bought a Sonos Connect Amp Gen 2 and a pair of mint Polk TSi100 bookshelf speakers and on S2 app. No active sub at the moment although I am passively looking for one.What I really want to know is could I get better quality of music listening from the 1st setup or 2nd setup provided I match correct speakers/sub.Any feedback will be appreciated.

My system was working perfectly until recent update 80.19.21 (iOS) released 4/15/25 is dropping connectivity to 2xEra 100s and 1xMove 2. I’ve rebooted WiFi router, rebooted speakers and even factory reset them and still not solved connectivity issues. All other speakers on the system are connecting as expected (e.g. 2xArc, 2xEra 300, 5xSub, 4xFive, 2xBeam, 1xSub mini, 2xOne, 1xPort, 1xConnect Gen2). Anyone else having similar issues after the recent update?

Hi, I’m looking for some help. We have built a garden office and would like to extend our existing wifi down to it. It is approximately 40m from the house and so plan to run a Ethernet cable from the existing router, which is a BT Halo 3. We have fibre to the house so a strong link to the Internet. We have tried the BT wifi discs in the past but as documented elsewhere on this forum, they did not work well with our Sonos system. Ideally, we would like the WiFi extension to cover the garden area as well. I am not very tech savvie, and have got rather lost understanding what the best way to do this might be - mesh, bridge etc. I would be very grateful if somebody could offer a little bit of advice about how to do this without costing a huge amount of money and in a way that an IT numpty could follow! We currently have a mix of Sonos devices - 10 speakers in total, 2 of which are very close to the garden and so could pick up the new WiFi signal. Many thanks for your time and patience.

Hello, I am about to purchase a pair of Era 100 for my room in an shared apartment.I was wondering if I have previously stereo-paired 2 Era 100 via wifi ‘A’. Can I still stereo play them from my phone using bluetooth or line-in mode but whilst connecting to another wifi ‘B’?Are the speakers playing in true stereo mode?

My Sonos Roam s l has an Orange light. 

Gone!Absolutely sick to death of my Sonos 1 speaker.It’s a pig to use.I got it as a free gift too and it WAS ONCE amazing, but since they RUINED the app it’s impossible to use.It now resides in the kitchen bin until Wednesday when it will be collected with all other recycling: empty tin cans, glass bottles, cardboard etc.Good riddance Sonos!!!!…ah, that feels better.

I posted some time back () but the thread is closed to replies. I was wondering given improvements to the app, whether people are still getting/hearing of instability issues.  I’m keen to move to WiFi to see if my connection issues resolve (losing speaker, can’t stop/start tracks etc.) with moving away from SonosNet but don’t want to risk tanking my set up in the process.  Also, if I ever buy any of the new products I believe they don’t support SonosNet.

Unbelievably horrible. I have wasted several Friday nights trying to get my system to work. It works one day then is  lost. Can’t wait for the class action lawsuit.

I just started using Sonos Move as my desktop PC’s speaker, and I’ve encountered an issue with it. Here is a description of how I encounter this problem:This issue is only for video media players (at least for YouTube- and Spotify videos).  At the start of the video playback sound output has little to no delay and works correctly. When pausing the video, audio stops right away, and speaker functions correctly. However, when playback is resumed, there is no sound for the first 5-7 seconds of the video. This issue persists for every video player that I try to use Sonos Move with. Issue is not caused by my PC, as it persists on my mobile device.I tried searching online for an answer and tried contacting the customer support with no luck. It’s a shame, that this issue stops me for using this speaker as my PC’s speaker and I’d really hope it gets solved. I really like the sound quality and versatility of this speaker, but this video playback issue keeps me from using it with my PC. :(  

Hi all, I have a gen 5 that I bought from new, I’ve had to reset it and I now have a green flashing light but I can’t seem to find it on my Sonos app… tried resetting a couple of times but i cant find it on the app in my iPhone….any idea what I’m doing wrong?

this an addendum to my recent post regarding upgrading Play:1s to Era 100s which appears solved. My old Play:1s are now in a different room. These are available as a speaker pair in the Sonos app but do not show as a playback option in Apple Music Airplay.I much prefer using Apple Music for playback control, Sonos too laggy. I suspect i will need to power down speakers, router etc However i have a Sonos Move in another part of the house which shows up with no issues.Im using Netgear Orbi WiFi.

I’d like to suggest that an option is provided to allow a pair to be switched from stereo to dual mono. I know I can separate the pair to get this effect but it’s not straightforward as both speakers have Alexa enabled. Separating things confuses the setup when reconnecting the pair.  I have two Ones in the kitchen and on a nice day I relocate one to the bottom of the garden. 

I just moved across country, and now I can’t connect or reset my Sonos Sub. I believe it’s a gen 3. It had the infinity symbol on the join button. what happens is my Sonos app recognizes the sub. It’s starts the add procedure. The app joins the subs network. Then the app asks me to press the join button.i press it repeatedly, but the app never sees it and eventually times out.I have tried the reset procedure on the sub. I hold the join button while plugging in the power. The light flashes orange while I am holding it. And never changes. I’ve held the  button for around 2 minutes.  Any suggestions?  thank you. ed  

Very displeased, So by some reason my internet provider is not working, but I have the wifi (in my house) working properly. Now if you want to use your Sonos equipment is useless, because the system won’t work or stream.its ridiculous!! You can stream AirPlay, ok as a resource solution, but why can’t you connect to Sonos, and use the speakers normally? (Independent of having internet signal or not!?) Shamefull…
