sonos roam

When my Sonos Roam battery runs off and I connect it to power I can’t play music. I vitally I can’t turn it on at all for a while like 10 or 15 min. Is this a design flaw or my roam is malfunctioning?Thank you.

First Audio Cutting in and out - Now ZERO Volume in Middle of Audio Play

Well, ever since the NEW APP came out, my pair of Roam Speakers would cut in and out when grouped to my Beam...ONLY when listening to anything from the TV Source.It was suggested that my wireless system could be the issue. Never understood this as I would never have issues when grouped, listening to audio from the Sonos Controler.Now...now my Roam Speakers are useless. Utterly Useless. I started losing volume on the Roams when grouped yesterday, again with my Beam and again while listening via the TV Source. I can set the volume and then leave the App, only to have the volume level drop from 60 to 0. It started slowly but NOW I am unable to group my Roam speakers due to this zero volume level thing going on now constantly. They are not useless...not too bad as book ends…I specifically purchased the Roam believing I could group these to my existing system to listen to both TV Source Audio along with other audio sources.I find that this system is glitchy at best with a downright poor cus

error 1101

Recently bought a Sonos Move and Ray, trying to connect them to the app, the app recognizes the devices, asks for the WiFi password, but when the sync is done the app show the error 1101 (couldn’t find any updates) and after that the app lets the devices begin configured in the home place, but when it finishes the “place configuration” it doesn’t appear in the app. I have tried all the steps in the Sonos guides, rebooted both devices and also the router but the problem is not solved, please help

Sonos icm Hdmi(Arc)

Steeds vaker last dat de Sonos niet lekker mee gaat bij het veranderen van HDMI signaal. ( tv, chromkast, blu-ray, switch, enz ) Moet steeds vaker de stroom uit/aanzetten om geluid te krijgen. soms heb ik weer geluid vanuit tv en lijkt hij het Sonos systeem geheel kwijt te zijn.In de Sonos app kun je op Je bronnen : TV drukken maar niks werkt. Moderator Edit: Google Translate- It is increasingly common that the Sonos does not respond well when changing the HDMI signal. (TV, chrome cabinet, Blu-ray, switch, etc.) Have to turn the power off/on more and more often to get sound. Sometimes I have sound from the TV again and it seems to have lost the Sonos system completely.In the Sonos app you can press Your sources: TV but nothing works.

Sonos 5

Hi All,I am using the S 2 App - it has been working fine but..My two Sono 5 speakers have started being only available from within the Sonos App. Their volume control is also erratic. I have reloaded the app, done factory resets, added speaker routine, gone thru the sound PIN routine, added the wifi password and reached the screen where it says the speaker is connected. However it says - If it does not appear in the system then power the speaker off and on and it will appear.When I go to the system in the app indeed it is not there. When I power the speaker off and on it is still not there. And when I try adding I get the “I don’t see my product” message. Back to factory reset for the green led to find the speaker …. around we go again…Any thoughts or advice would be welcomed. The S 1 App which I tried as an alternative says that my speakers are S2 compatible, but gives the option to downgrade to S 1. Should I try that?Thanks

crap sonos app bricking the beam, dont buy

The Sonos app continues to drop out during tv playback. It is extremely frustrating and makes what used to be a great product, totally crap and frustrating to use. Sonos support does not provide solutions just what should like AI garbage.  I have found that turning the tv off and on with the video paused seems to re-establish playback to the Sonos beam, but this is crap and frustrating w then compared to a product that used to work seamlessly.

Sonos Era 100: bluetooth connect/disconnect chime

My Sonos Era 100 works well, except when it lost its connection to Bluetooth appliances (I connect its Bluetooth to my Sharp Android TV), it keeps trying to connect with annoying chimes. It’s really annoying.  I tried to search answer on how to turn off the Bluetooth sound, but there are only two answers:Enable Idle-Auto Disconnect option from Sonos app. But it will only turn off the chimes after 30 minutes it lost its connection.   Turn the volume down. Only work if I don’t use the speaker. My question is, isn’t there really any way to disable the Bluetooth chiming sound right away? This is hard to believe that this problem is overlooked by Sonos.  cheers,w

Sonos firmware updates issues Era 300 and sub

Hello, For some time i have issues while updating my home setup. I have two Era 300, Arc, and Sub (v3) setup. All equipment are in same room as my router but one speaker of Era 300 and Sub is not updating. (With new app i got error 1000, but same issues i had and with old app). One way to get workaround on this is to remove surround, hard reset non updating equipment and then re-add to my system. In this case on initial setup it ask for update and updates completes. Then i can add it back to surround. But this is frustraiting as i have to do this every time plus trueplay setup is lost. Please advise on this.

Grouping Issue

I’m having an issue where I have a group created but often the new app shows the source as trying to play music but I have my TV selected. The TV is playing through the ARC and Sub but when I try to have the TV Audio play through a grouping that includes the ERA100, ARC, and Sub no audio at all. It started after the app was updated.

No longer able to play My Music

No QuestionYou have betrayed the Sonos buyers. I have bought your products for years. I have promoted your speakers to my friends and family. My music collection on my Mac is my life. Sonos has denied me playing my music. I will now be getting rid of my Sonos system, and advising no one to buy Sonos. What is the point of a streaming system if you cannot connect to your home PC ????

Can not install speaker

Hi I have a Sonos PLAY:5 Model S100 which is not found by my iPhone Sonos app despite many attempts. The Sonos speaker has worked earlier using my present router but, has stopped working. I have a fast internet connection and I am using a ASUS RT-AX57 router.I have done factory reset on Sonos speaker according to the instructions as well as restarting the router. I tried both a direct ethernet connection and wifi between router and speaker without success. My Asus router app shows the Sonos speaker as offline. Bluetooth is enabled and working on my Iphone. What is really odd is that Sonos app (latest version) succeeds in discovering the speaker in about 1 in 15 attempts. It proceeds through the chimes but, ends with the error message in the vain of 'the product can not be connected to your account' .What can I do?Best Regards John

sonos play 5 gen. 1

Da die Sonos player 5 kein Bluetooth besitzt, versuche ich sie über das Audiokabel mit meinem Handy zu verbinden. Auch einen Bluetooth-Adapter, der einen Audiostecker hat, habe ich schon versucht. Beides funktioniert leider nicht. Was mache ich falsch? Über die Sonos-app wird immer nur nach Bluetooth gesucht,  was natürlich nicht gefunden werden kann. Bitte um Hilfe!VG Guido  Moderator edit:Google Translate- Since the Sonos player 5 doesn't have Bluetooth, I'm trying to connect it to my phone using the audio cable. I've also tried a Bluetooth adapter that has an audio plug. Unfortunately, neither of them works.What am I doing wrong? The Sonos app only searches for Bluetooth, which of course can't be found.”Are you able to choose “Line in” from the app when playing anything?
