blue tooth connection

I have a Sonos one which is blue tooth enabled.i have bought a pro-Ject Blue Tooth Turntable and it won’t connect to my Sonos One speaker.I understand that to pair my speaker with a device, I need to press and hold the blue tooth button on my Sonos until the light on the top flashes blue.Here lies the problem. It doesn’t. It flashes orange. Red. Green and white. Never blue.I have factory reset the device, and tried everything that I have read on line but nothing works. The turntable connected immediately with my headphones (not Sonos) so I know that the turntable is not the problem.I have lost hours trying to resolve. Any help in laymen’s terms would be welcomed.

Playbar Compatibility

Before purchasing two Era 100s I emailed Sonos and asked the question if these were compatible with the original Playbar I had. In writing, they said the Era 100s are compatible. HOWEVER, they will not connect with Playbar to make a Surround Sound  system. I was completely misled by the Sale representatives.

Kein Ton auf dem einen Lautsprecher

HalloOhne dass ich etwas am Heimnetzwerk oder den Lautsprechern geändert hätte, kommt aus dem einen Lautsprecher plötzlich kein Ton mehr, und zwar obschon mir die Sonosapp den Lautsprecher anzeigt und die Anzeige sich bewegt (der Lautsprecher also Ton zu empfangen scheint). Der Sxhieberegler für die Lautstärke ist jedoch aufgehellt (vgl. Bild im Anhang). Ein Neustart des Lautsprechers hat nicht geholfen. Lösungsvorschläge? Danke!

TV > HDMI > Arc Ultra > Multi-speaker?

Hi. I have just set up my new Sonos speakers (Arc Ultra, Amp, Five, 2x Roam 2).I am able to play Spotify/music through all the speakers at once.I am able to play the tv sounds through the Arc Ultra.But when, through the app, I try to play the tv sounds through all speakers it either: Deselects the other speakers and only plays through the Arc Ultra; or Stops playing audio on all devices. Has anyone experienced the same issue? Any tips?

Trouble setting up play:1

I can connect my Play:1 and use it when it’s connected via Ethernet to the router, but 30 seconds or so after I disconnect the music stops, and play:1 cannot be found on the app. Sad. I have deleted/redownloaded the app + done a factory reset. What else can I try?

Right password, but keep getting wrong password for WIFI error

Hi everyone This is my first time posting for help, so apologize if the answer is somewhere already on here. I haven’t been able to find a solution that works so here I am…. I have a Beam and two One SL's which I used to create surround sound. My One SL's kept losing connection, so I tried to factory reset them with my Beam to try and set up a new system. Now nothing will connect to my WIFI. When setting them up, after it asks me to put in my WIFI password, I enter the correct password and then there's an error to say incorrect password. The error flashes up almost immediately, like it hasn’t even tried to connect. It is definitely the correct password as I copied it from the router. Even when I use an ethernet cable it’s asking for a password. It's not a frequency issue as I have many 2.4ghz products connected to my router. I know it’s not the network as everything use to connect fine to it. Kind of lost what to do as there’s no real help online that I can find, and I waited 50 minute

Best songs to demonstrate era 300

I just bought a pair of era 300s and I need some song suggestions for a skeptical wife :-) We’re in our 60s and like yacht rock, female vocalist like Carole King, Linda Ronstadt, Norah Jones, etc. The Beatles, Adele, Jason Mraz, etc. any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks

Sonos App super slow - Because I have all old devices, or is it likely Network?

Over time the Sonos App on my devices has gotten slower, and slower.  Response time is horrendous.  I figure it’s gotta be from one of two things:All my devices are OLD Play: 1s and a SoundBar.  Perhaps they’re just getting too old for the current capabilities? I have found several threads discussing app performance and Network issues.  I’ve done a bit of superficial digging and I don’t **think** I have any network issues going on.  I’ve got a pretty solid and stable network. Several of my devices are wired rather than using wirelss, I’m using SonosNet still on the rest.   I COULD switch them to using regular wifi, though I’m a bit hesitant because I’ve been using SonosNet successfully since before Wifi was an option.Thoughts on where I should focus my energies?

Sonos Beam 2 and Symphonisk wont connect to wifi through Android app

Set up this system absolutely no problems with iPhone app;Beam Gen 22 x IKEA SymphoniskRouter - dual band, however system was previously set up on 5Ghz with no issuesSince changing to an android phone - not one of my Sonos products will connect to the WiFi, telling me I’m using the incorrect password or to reset my router. My router has not changed. Everything is the same except I am now using Android app to set up the system.I will add- I have tried all of the reset methods on each speaker, reset my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, tried though both bands of the router - same result.

Spatial music - I hear no difference with it off

I set up a pair of Era 300s and a Sub 4 in my living room. I also set up a single Era 300 and Sub Mini in my bedroom. When I used Trueplay on setup, I was excited as to how Dolby Atmos songs would sound since the pinging during Trueplay sounded like it was coming from all directions (the pinging during Trueplay is actually quite impressive). I have read numerous discussions where people rave about the experience when listening to Dolby Atmos songs; however, I hear no difference whether the Spatial Music toggle is on or off.I am using Apple Music directly through the Sonos app, the height audio is set to 10, the Spatial Music toggle is on, and the “Dolby Atmos” icon is present in the song art. Nonetheless, there is zero difference in the sound when the Spatial Music toggle is turned off. Any suggestions?

Sonos 5

Is this a stand alone speaker, powered?  Does it require an amp connection?  I have a Sonos amp, but of course it doesn’t work because of all the software issues.  I bought another amp I can use if required.  What other Sonos equipment is required to run it?

set up new Sonos

When I log into my account and I go to settings I see the speaker 300 and I click on it and it says you have to login out then in. Which I have done many times and it just won’t work. I just want to add my new speaker to my account and play music, why do you make this simple task so complicated. very poor.

Era100 use

Hello Sonos Community, I currently have 2 Era 100s, a Beam Gen 2, and a Sub Mini. At the moment, they are connected in a home theater setup, with the Era 100s positioned to the sides of the sofa, as the sofa is against the wall.My question is whether the Era 100s are wasted in this setup. Would it be better to use them as a stereo setup for listening to music instead?And if I were to go for the stereo setup, would the Sub Mini be better placed with the stereo setup, or should it stay with the Beam Gen 2? Best regards

shockingly misleading marketing

What a waste of time! Bought this specifically because it was advertised to work with Google home. You cannot pull a feature like that and hope nobody notices! It seems that the fallout has been handled terribly by Sonos. This gives me zero confidence in these products even if they restore the feature. Will return immediately and avoid like the plague. You cannot treat customers like this who have burned thousands of hours combined on this nonsense. Good riddance

Hi! i’m having this very frustrating problem after changing my isp and my home network. For 2 of my products this far, i set them up with the ethernet cable and make sure the « enable wifi » is on, but they still disappear like i have nothing when i unplug the ethernet cable. Any help with that would be much appreciated!

Existing SONOS set-up dropped from my MESH WiFi

Good morning, everyone.  I could use your assistance.  In brief, I added a Home Theater set-up to my existing system approximately 6 months ago (ARC, ERA 300 x 2, SUB, and Victrola Stream with SONOS capabilities).  It has been successfully connected to my DECO MESH WiFi 6 system with little to no issues at all, until a couple of weeks ago. Nothing has changed with my current MESH WiFi setup or my Modem setup, with exception to the new “Updates” with the SONOS Mobile App.  Initially, with the first upgrade, I was experiencing the same issues most of you have with the lag in the volume control.  Annoying, yes… Usable, absolutely. However, I recently came home from a 2-week trip and noticed my Home Theater set-up was “Not Connected”.  My other Play 1’s are still connected and able to stream. I have attempted almost all posted remedies to this issue, with no success.  The only suggestion I have not attempted is to hardwire the ARC to my MESH router or directly to the Modem. Suggestions?  A
