Speakers

Two Gen 1s, for some reason the white one (L) is a lot quieter than the black one (R). No, its not the Balance control. Both are identical hardware revisions. Problem on all types of audio. My third Play:5, which I could use to figure out which one is “wrong”, is 2000 miles away.

Let me start out by saying I think I have read every possible article related to choppy playback, wifi interference, losing speakers, and best practices. I have been fighting this issue for the better part of a year at this point. From a network standpoint, I have used a single Netgear router with built-in wifi, a Fortinet gateway controlling Fortinet APs, an Amplifi router with a mesh remote, a Deco 3 AP system with both wireless and wired backhaul, and finally I am now on Unifi, with the gateway, switch and wired APs. All have exhibited the same experience where grouping speakers together can take a long time or fail completely. When speakers are grouped, the choppiness happens consistently and most times ends up causing the entire system to stop playing altogether. Now that I am on full Unifi equipment, I have taken care to try to configure it both to Unifi’s best practices and to Sonos’ best practices with no luck. Here are my latest troubleshooting notes.Sonos + UniFi Troubleshoot

I have bought a Sonos Beam 2, and 2 ERA 100 speakers. I am not aiming for full surround sound per se, but 1 additional speaker in our kitchen (open plan with the living room - we can see TV form kitchen) and another at the back of the living room facing into the room from behind.Have tweaked the sound delay for the soundbar so it sounds more aligned and less delayed in the kitchen, still some level of reverb when too loud but it is a lot better.the sound sometimes drops from the ERAs (connected via wifi), I do have a wifi extender in the kitchen so wonder if my phone switching between the wifi network impacts this or if the speakers are only connected to the main wifi (i have not connected them to the extender - but maybe should consider that).

Can this be tracked via my app or details to the next IP address it is assigned to? It shows only on my app(Had a crazy ex decide to let herself in my house using a spare key and stole items including a Nintendo switch and one sonos Beam and Amazon Alexa show 10. All require an internet connection to use

Why is the only option to adjust the volume control, on the app, is to drag the slider? It’s a cumbersome process and invariably over adjusts. Using airplay you can adjust the volume just by touching the speaker, making it easier to make small adjustments. Please can this be included on the Sonos app. 

hi guys anybody having this issue msi blocking update cannot find what is causing this 

My beam GEN one has stopped working. It doesn’t have any light or indication of power and will not reset.

I need to start completely over and wipe my current system. The instructions online offer steps, but those steps don’t align with what I see in my app. Does anyone have detailed instructions on how to do this. I’ve spent thousands of dollars and countless hours trying to get this product to work, and I’m so very frustrated. I need this systems to work given the resources I’ve put into it, so I need to start over and rebuild and hope that is the solution to ultimately making my system work. 

I noticed that when in the system name menu, clicking on SONOS at the top of the screen causes the system name to revert back to Your System. This does not happen when clicking the back button the top left corner. iOS 26.5 app version 85.0.31

I am trying to play my Sonos speaker but app continuously says I need to log in to update my connection. Even tho I am logged in

Hello people,Thought I’d chime in with my recent experience after buying a second-hand Play:5 (Gen 1).For context, I’m running a full S2 system: Living Room: Arc Ultra, Sub (Gen 3), and 2x Era 100s Bedroom: Era 300 Dining Room: IKEA SYMFONISK Picture Frame + Connect S2 (vinyl player) I thought adding an extra speaker would give the dining room a bit more depth. Since I already own a Connect S2, getting the Play:5 Gen 1 via line-out seemed like the perfect budget option. What I didn’t know about was the infamous 75ms line-in delay.Fast forward to me being driven absolutely crazy by the echo while trying to group the IKEA speaker with my Connect (Play 5 Gen 1 line-in). During my troubleshooting, I came across this post:TL;DR: There is supposedly no delay once the Play:5 is taken completely offline (disabling the Wi-Fi in the app and unplugging the ethernet cable once activated).I tried this workaround, and I can report that it does work, but only to an extent.The delay is still prese

Hi Sonos Gurus,I control my Sonos from my iPhone connected to SSID “17” mapped to VLAN 1 (Native Network).I have approximately 15 Sonos speakers incl. Play-1, One, Beam, Arc, Era.Some are wired to VLAN 6. Some are connected over Wifi SSID “Sonos-17” mapped to VLAN 6. I suspect some are still on SonosNet because they are old and SonosNet is on channel 11.For some reason, since this morning, I cannot access my Sonos setup using my iPhone connected to SSID “17”. However when I switch my iPhone over to “Sonos-17” SSID, it. works.ThanksThomas

Jeg har udforing med at få system til at virke uden kabel. Jeg kan få kontakt til både play1 og 5, men når jeg vil bruge trådløs og flytter højtaler fra kabel, forsvinder forbindelse. Det har virket før i mange år, uden de store problemer. Det er for mig som om s1app ikke virker mere. Vejledning om lysende/blinkende grøn lampe er slet ikke et issue, da der ikke er grøn lampe at se. Jeg har slukket for wifi og prøvet meget.  Er der nogen som har en klar og hurtig løsning? VhMorten Moderator Edit:Google Translate-I have trouble getting the system to work without a cable. I can connect to both play1 and 5, but when I want to use wireless and move the speaker from cable, the connection disappears.It has worked before for many years, without any major problems. It is as if s1app no ​​longer works for me. The instructions about the bright/flashing green light are not an issue at all, as there is no green light to be seen.I have turned off wifi and tried a lot.Does anyone have a clear and qui

Not too long ago, we switched from an Eero mesh network to Araknis access points to extend WiFi coverage throughout our home while we had AT&T. We’ve since switched to Spectrum, removed the Araknis system, and gone back to using our Eero mesh network. We currently have the Spectrum router/modem connected to our Eero system, similar to how we previously had AT&T set up. We also had third-party technicians install amps for our outdoor Sonos system as well as the Araknis system, but the Araknis ended up making our WiFi worse, so we removed the Araknis and AT&t and set up the Eero system again with a Spectrum router and modem. Now the issue is that our Sonos system seems to be detecting two separate WiFi networks. The router’s WiFi (connected via Ethernet) is working with our two amps, but the other Sonos devices inside the house keep switching to the extender network. In the app, they frequently show as “not connected,” even after updating the network settings About 2-3 weeks

Will a WiiM pro airplay 2 receiver work with a stereo pair of sonos one speakers?

Hi All,Looking for help about my issue about firmware update.I have several Play:1 and Play:5. 2 days ago, I moved a pair of 5s in another room. This is where the problem occured. Right after plugging in, one for the speakers in a pair asked for an update and disconnected from the pair. I tried updating, but the update always get an error 30. Here are the things I tried and used different devices in doing it just to isolate my phone or tablet. 1. Connected via ethernet - error 302. Wifi - error 303. Reboot my router and disabled all fw - error 304. Reset to factory the play:5 while using ethernet cable - error 305. Fresh Installed the play 5 in a new S1 environment system as a new room while directly connected to my router - error 306. Turned off all my other sonos speakers, used a new app and membered the play:5 in an existing system - error 30I have been trying to troubleshoot this for 2 days now. I did report thru Sonos chat and advised me to do an international call which is not do

Can I connect Sonos one to more recent Sonos speakers ?

Hi everyone,I’m setting up a small Sonos system at home and wanted to ask for some advice.What’s the best way to optimize sound quality and speaker placement in a medium-sized room? Also curious if there are any settings or tuning features you recommend using for a more balanced audio experience.Any tips from experienced users would be really helpful 

Hello, my music will go in and out, sometimes with several minutes of nothing before playing again. How can I address this for smooth playback?  thank you. 

Do I need to use my phone to ask Era 100 with voice control to play a radio station or will the speaker itself respond to my voice?

Sonos and Sonos 1 system integration 

I have 2 Sonos One speakers (not Era 100) configured as surrounds for my Sonos Arc. They are mounted high on the wall, one above the full-height window and one (across the room) at the corner of the hallway and kitchen.As speakers, they are excellent. But when no music is playing, the one next to the window/wall sometimes makes a "pop" sound. It doesn't happen often, but maybe once or twice an hour. The other one never does this.My hypothesis is that the window shade next to the one that pops, has a big battery in it and that might build up some kind of inductive change, which the Sonos One discharged and it makes a popping sound. Is this possible? The observation is true my explanation may not be.

I have a Sonos era 300, I was using it via Bluetooth for the tv sound from the Apple TV, and it went off like it’d been disturbed, now all I get is a yellow flashing light, I’ve tried unplugging it for 30 second while holding the Bluetooth button, then plugged it back in, while holding the Bluetooth button, and still nothing but a yellow flashing light..
