cannot add symfonisk as first system

Hi, my father in law bought an IKEA Symfonisk gen2. After the installation in the S2 app the sonos app does not show the system. I’ve tried both wireless as well as wired and also rebooted the network router without success.After that I took the device to my home and added the device to my existing sonos system. Then the device appears in the app. So the device seems to be ok. After that I did a reset of the device and let my father in law install the device as a new device within his account (but with the device within my local network). After the installation the same issue is present, I.e. the device does not appear in the sonos S2 app. This appears to me that the issue appears when the symfonisk is added as a first device. does anyone have an idea what can be done to fix the issue? Or is it a bug in the S2 app?

Balance still missng

Qty 2 Era 100s -paired/stereo  - Just finished the latest update as usual Had to configure again. I have done this so often in the 7 months of ownership that I can do it pretty fast.  This time through Bluetooth or  as I call it Bootooth.  All working as before except the balance option is  still gone.  This was lost after the big  update.  Anyone know how to get the balance back?

Adding Play1 to a Wifi network

I have a play1 speaker. I need to add it to a new Wifi network. After a bunch of failed attempts, I finally got a factory reset done, and was able to add it back to my controller using an Ethernet cable.  It took some updates.  I then tried to use the workflow in the app to move it to Wifi, but the workflow fails (pop up says that workflow only works for certain products, and Play1 is not one of them) saying that it can’t find any products.I then re-did factory reset, and app found the speaker and got through most of setup. After adding to Wifi, app says that speaker was added, but may not show up in controller app. If not, restart speaker. I did this, and it does not show up.I tried to join existing system, and the speaker shows up, but shows up as ‘not registered’. Trying to register fails with Error code 1064. Then ‘couldnt update play1’ error code 1106.

Volume Automatically Lowering to 0

I recently updated the app, as well as all of my software for the speakers in my house. Ever since then, my speakers will randomly reset the volume to 0 multiple times throughout the day, which then causes them to display a green light on top of the speaker. Is this happening to anyone else? Super annoying, especially in the middle of the night when the white noise in my kids room turns off and wakes them up. Need this fixed asap.

Moving from SonosNet to WiFi

After increasing connectivity issues between the app and speakers, I was going to try and switch from SonosNet to WiFi.  However, whilst the online help suggests this is easy to do (go into the app and Update Network), once in the app, looking at the “more information” sections suggests that this can only be done for newer products. I have a number of Play:1 and Play:3 speakers and the information says these need to be factory reset.Questions:Is this true?  Can I only update the newer products automatically? If I do have to factory reset the older products, will playlists etc. have been retained on the newer speakers and get copied across, or is there a risk I will lose my playlists and settings.Any help on this appreciated.

WiFi Connection or Lack of…

I have a Playbar, Play 3 and just purchased a Move 2. Play bar works great. For the life of me I can not get the Play 3 or Move 2 to connect to my WiFi ( the same Wi-Fi the play bar is on). I have tried everything! Unplugged the speakers, rebooted my router, reset the speakers, deleted and reinstalled the App, tried starting a new system, called Sonos (didn’t have 2 hours to wait on hold), yelled, screamed, did some deep breathing and nothing helped! at one point, the Play 3 did work, and then it didn’t, just like that! Any suggestions? Thank you!

eARC Connection

Despite all the bugs and missing features in the new app, the one positive so far is a stable eARC connection to my Samsung Qled TV. Prior to the update, everytime I turned my TV back on I would have to manually reconnect to eARC in the TV audio settings. Now it connects automatically as it should. Did anyone else notice this? Thanks in advance.

Sonos one Gen 2 just out of box, initial setup- first firmware/software update never ends.

I just unboxed a brand-new Sonos One and tried to connect to my system via Sonos App that just updated in May 2024 with the latest version.When after a while the product ( Sonos One ) has been found by the app it prompts that:” Update is required”.The update should take several minutes, but it never ended. After waiting for 30 hours the update circle icon, which shows the progress got up the half. I can guess due to the update that can’t be completed, the speaker not adding to the system.I have a T-Mobile Home internet WiFi  router. I tried everything that potentially should resolve the issue i.e. factory reset to Sonos One, router reset, connecting with the closest distance to the router( a few feet) plugin hardwire between the router speaker. Nothing helps.Any other suggestions?

Apple Music Functionality om Updated App

I can’t pair my Sonos Beam Gen 2 and Play:1 in order to shuffle through all my songs on Apple Music after the update. My Beam is hooked up to TV, Play:1 is in the kitchen. It’s a small apartment and they’re close together, I have a very strong Google Fiber connection, everything — phone and apps — are all updated.  My routine Sonos pre-update was to go to Apple Music, pair my phone to the Beam through Airplay, and then go to the Sonos app and connect the Beam and Play:1 as outputs. This way I could just go back to my Apple Music app to do whatever I wanted there and it would use my speakers as directed. Simple, repeatable, reliable.  What happens now is that I go to Apple Music, I connect to the Beam with Airplay, and when I go to the new Sonos App and connect the outputs it stops the music and forces me to use Apple Music through the Sonos app platform. Not the worst thing ever, but the problem now is that when I go to “all songs” in Apple Music via Sonos, there is no Shuffle option.

sonos issue

Patrick, I’m following up on my initial email I sent at the end of May. Thank you for forwarding my email on to your support team. Two different technology experts who deal frequently with all Sonos products have noted that the Sonos upgraded application is a complete failure. It is great to see that Sonos continues to pump out new products such as headphones of which the Sonos application used to operate these high cost sound equipment is a drastic failure. Your level 2 support team has completed let me down. I have continued to hope for a successful update to the Sonos app. To allow me to once again enjoy my sound system which I paid thousands for. As of today, I cannot play my system and it is a failing mess. It looks like this last update on June 17 was supposed to help the volume situation. Instead it made it worse. Only one volume slider is showing. It was working fine yesterday. After the update they are gone. And right now the system won’t play anything. It is not working at al

Change wi-fi password

I changed the wi-fi password on my router (for better security). When I start the iOS app, it goes to the welcome screen. If I try to add a speaker (Play 3 or Beam get 2), the app searches for a long time but doesn’t find them. Clicking on can’t find new product goes to a help screen with suggestions to unplug the speaker, which doesn’t work. The other option is to do a factory reset that I’d like to avoid doing.If I try to join an existing system, the app tries to log into my network with the old password.On the Sonos support page, it says that there is an “update existing network” option under System, but I can’t locate it with the new app.

one sl wont play set up chime

I have (had 🙄) 2 x One’s set up as a stereo pair. All working well after the initial update. However, tonight only one would connect. I also have a roam which was still on the system and working ok. Spent all evening trying to sort with the chatbot and then an agent who cut me off 🤦🏼‍♀️ Anyway I now have my speaker stuck with the green flashing light (was advised to factory reset) but it refuses to play the audio chime! I’ve tried everything. Rebooted my phone (iPhone 14), my router, speakers, etc etc .. any ideas anyone? 😫oh I also have an Ethernet cable 🤷🏼‍♀️
