Speakers

The S2 system is a disaster. My current list of problems are:Responsiveness to controls renders the system unusable. It takes 5-15 seconds between pressing play or pause before it takes effect, or adjusting the volume, or selecting a new song, and so on … that is if these requests succeed at all. Many such requests don’t. Searches don’t include content from my Music Library which I finally managed to “configure”. I can see on the Synology logs that the Sonos system is accessing it but I can’t browse the content. A pair of Play1’s that were working as a stereo pair before, on S1, can’t be paired together since the S2 system deems them incompatible. Apple TV is unable to control the volume in the room with a playbar, subwoofer and two Play1’s although this might not be a problem with SonosThis is my second attempt to make use of the S2 system since the S2 fiasco was launched on us earlier this year. It has wasted a considerable amount of my time without providing any positive results. I

I set up a friend’s Sonos system on my account and want to transfer that system to them.  Does that leave my original system on my account?ThanksAndrew

Been with bt arc work great with surround speakers now changed to virgin media with hub 5 now cannot connect arc just keep saying password wrong when it's not driving me up wall things or never simple anyone have a fix to get me up and running 😀 

I recently tried to set up an old Sonos Play:5 Gen 1 and when plugged in it shows no indication of being powered on, there is no light at all and the Sonos 1 App cannot locate it.I have checked the power cord with my volt meter and it is good.I have done the Factory Reset procedure with no results.Is this Play:5 completely dead or could there be some other reason for the problem?Worst case: I can tear it open and use it as a passive speaker.

Unable to disconnect music from a speaker.  Using port and cannot get it to play from my cd player because a song that was played from the Sonos app will not close.

Tried everything to get Alexa to connect with S1. It did used to now doesn’t and won’t

Hello Sonos people! I am in a five room apartment, I have pretty reliable 60/70 mbs internet, wired to 3 nodes of Google Mesh wifi (purchased 2018). My rooms are setup (wirelessly) as follows:LR - Beam, Sub Mini, two OnesDR - Two OnesBE - A single OneKitchen - One plus RoamThe problem I have is the speakers drop randomly and become non-responsive in the app. Is there something I could do to achieve more reliable service? I love my system, but it is also making me insane. Any guidance - including whether to buy a new router, and if so which one - would be much appreciated. 

Can someone please advise in simple terms,...can I connect my old CD player from my HiFi stacking system to Era 100 ?I want to play my CDs through the Era100 with no other equipment in a simple two piece set up.I believe I use the Sonos Line In adaptor with other cable adaptors, but what do I need at the back of my CD Player ? I have Analogue Output LR and Digital Output Coaxial ?And very importantly, no sort of Amplifier required ?I have trawled the advice online but cannot find a straight forward answer.Thanks all. 

Hi.My play 1s and play 3s I know are a few years old now but they do not work well with the new app.App doesn't respond just freezes or still shows song that was playing 10 mins ago.My Play 5 gen 2s are fine probably because they are newer.I can't afford to buy newer speakers.Is there anything I can do? My WiFi is fast at 500 mb so no speed issues.

Hello, this is a new issue.  Various speakers cut out randomly only when input is from TV.   Using music feeds from app works fine.  Any ideas?

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. 

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.

Why does Sonos sucks so much after their stupid change now I can’t sync to Google , Sonos is going down the s*** hole . This is very annoying  Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct

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! 

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?

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? 

Hi, Sonos 1 SL, noticing a deterioration in sound quality, a crackle. Anyone else have same and a remedy?Thanks, 

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

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.

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?

for the life of me there is nothing on google or in the help center that shows how to switch to and from bluetooth in the sonos app? i want to one minute use spotify connect and then the next minute connect to it via bluetooth. how do you switch inputs from the app? the feature used to be there before the app mess happened. 

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?

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. 

Hi,Is it possible to know the status of my advanced replacement? It was created on Tuesday morning and I haven’t received a shipping number or a shipping notification. I was told I would receive it no later than today.Thank you,

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
