My Sonos system won’t connect to my new home wifi network. The app prompts the update but then it is unable to complete the change.
Grateful for anyone who can help please - I've been tearing my hair out! I’m unable to properly connect my 2 OneSLs to the new Wi-Fi network after we upgraded the router. Surprisingly the two old Play:3s and a more recent Move work fine and are happily connected. The router is a Vodafone Ultra Hub with extender which offers 2.4, 5 and 6Ghz on different networks, recognising that older devices may not be able to connect to 6Ghz. the OneSLs are instantly recognised when connected by Ethernet but disappear when using Wi-Fi. They can be found by factory resetting on Wi-Fi but then disappear again at the end of the “add new speaker” process (this finishes with the statement: “your product has been added, but may not appear in your system unplug it, plug it back in, to finish setup from settings” and of course when you do that it can't be found again!)restarting the router doesn't help turning off the extender doesn't helpseparating the different networks doesn't helpconnecting via Ethe
Directv over internet LG smart tv Genie receiver and remote Alexa and Echo Playbar and one OneSLThese were all installed separately over a period of years. All software current…no observable or reported hardware problemsLast piece of kit was the Genie remote. After install, it worked just fine...I could adjust the volume of the speakers in the app or by using the volume button on the remote. Then...it just stopped. Could not adjust the volume with either the remote or the app. Have had to go back to the tv internal speakers, and that ain’t no fun when you’re watching Apocalypse Now. I have tried everything I can think of...uninstall and reinstall everything and unplug and plug back. No Love. Any thoughts...anyone? Paul
Hi, I have a Sonos 5 that I want to connect to my Sony Bluetooth turntable, I live in a fairly small property so I’m limited on space. The turntable will have to be situated upstairs with the Sonos 5 speaker downstairs, can I connect them both with a Bluetooth receiver connected to the Sonos 5? I’m looking at the ifi zen air blue receiver on Amazon, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Simon.
Arc speaker connected to the TV has just gone crazy. Middleton of a program it just starting sounding like some sort of nuclear alert siren. Unbelievably loud single tone siren. Had to disconnect the speaker, only way to stop the sound. any advise appreciated. Hope the speaker isn’t bricked. Wouldn’t be the first.
How do I adjust the output balance between my main Arc soundbar and my 2 surround sound speakers? The predominant sound is emitting from the sound bar and I want to increase the bias to the back of my room.
Hi!I am looking to add a second-hand speaker to my system. I‘ve encountered multiple fraudulent offers on online market places. One of the quick and easy safeguards I have begun using to determine an offer‘s legitimacy and accuracy is the devices serial number - usually there is already a picture showing it, or sellers are readily sharing this information as it doesn‘t contain private information.With the SN, I then contact Sonos support and get the date of first registration. A date, nothing else. No identifiable information. This worked twice in the past week. Customer service was fast, uncomplicated and helpful. Both times I (unfortunately) discovered that the sellers had provided false information on the device age (or to be precise: date of first registration - I‘m aware that I can read the manufacturing date straight from the SN without contacting support).Today, two separate customer service reps have rejected my request, stating that this information cannot be provided due to S
What voice commands do you use to connect the speaker in the living room with another speaker in the house
Sonos not connecting to Apple TV, was working only weeks agoI airplay my projectors sound to two Sonos Ones. And they worked well only a few weeks ago. It was simply a matter of selecting the Sonos system from the audio menu and it would connect. Now I’ve tried factory resetting and reconnecting the speakers and they still won’t play through Apple TV. I’m stuck and not sure what else to try?Could it be the latest version of the app? I’ve read a few others complaining of different problems but blaming it on the app. Anyone with a similar problem? Or any ideas of what else I might need to try to get them working again.
Sonia one has been working for 2 years. Suddenly last week it stopped working. Tried many times to reconnect to the network but it does not work. So frustrating. Tried factory reset and that did not help. what should I do?
How do I register my speakers
It is evident from this: … that newer Sonos devices do not give noise floor or OFDM ANI information on the network matrix. Can anyone tell me why this is? Has the network matrix been replaced by some other diagnostic tool? Thanks all,Tom
I turned on my Sonos system this morning and . . . nothing!Things were a bit weird in the past weeks, since I got the iPhone 16, and even stranger when they put an update iOS 18.2.1 on it. I got signed out of ALL my Sonos options, though Amazon Music and Sirius were still there and the speaker system still worked. Then this morning (2024.01.20), it all crapped out.I basically had to delete the app’, unplug the Sonos router, and all the speakers and start over from entering my wifi router. Kinda sucked! And took an hour and then some before everything was back online. ‘Need my music in the morning! ‘Not sure if the blame goes to Sonos, the iPhone 16 or to Apple. (Still cannot sign into the Sonos stuff. I try and it keeps coming back to “Sign in as Owner.” But, I AM the owner!)
Does anyone else have a problem with their home microwave consistently interfering with their Sonos signal? When we run the microwave for longer than 20 seconds the Sonus signal sporadically drops in and out across all Sonos components/devices (4). As soon as the microwave stops, Sonos comes back on again at all components.We are still using Controller 1 with a mix of old & new Sonos devices. As well, we have three WAP strategically located throughout the house with strong wireless signals throughout. This has been happening ever since we built and moved into the house. We even had our builder replace the microwave unit thinking it was leaking! No one has a clue as to why and how to solve.
hi can anyone else with ERA 300’s confirm if they click (make a static type noise) just before the music starts and a couple of seconds after it is paused? I’ve just purchased a pair and noticed in a quiet room this noise. It sounds like the noise is made when the speaker wakes up and when it sleeps. Anyone else hearing this?
Hi, I am experiencing problems getting sound from my Era 100 when connected via bluetooth. The mobile confirms the connection and the Era 100 comes with an audio signal that confirms the connection, but still no sound from the system. Tried connecting via PC and mobile phone, no sound. Any ideas?Tor-Erik
Hello - I’ve been using a Five in my home gym for a while, placed horizontally. All has been great but my gym is starting to grow and there are 2 areas separated by a short wall. I will be adding a second Five to the new section and I am not sure what the best configuration is. Question 1: Should I pair the 2 5s in stereo or will the wall cause problems? Question 2: Will it matter much if I orient the left speaker vertically? I do not plan to change the orientation of the right speaker. I may need to hang the left vertically out of space concerns once a fan is added to the left wall. Question 3: should I just keep it easy and not pair them and just group them as 2 separate speakers. I’d like to decide before get a speaker so that I get the correct mount. Any help or insight is appreciated. Thanks!
WLAN verbindet sich nur per Kabel. Was hab ich falsch gemacht?
I have a stereo pair of Ones with a Sub Gen 3, and another stereo pair of Ones on the other side of the same room (Room is approx 8m square). These are grouped together to play as a single room, which on the whole is good enough. Voice control via Sonos is disabled (all microphones are set to off) as it was terrible, but we have an Amazon Echo Dot which is set to play music on the Sonos group as its default speakers. Problem is that when manually starting a new track for this group from the Sonos app (or any other music app that supports casting, E.g Amazon Music, Plex) the track starts ok then about 1-2 seconds after starting the volume dips by about 50% for 5-10s before returning to selected level. This also happens when a new track starts via Alexa voice command from the Echo Dot. Also happens in other rooms where we also have pairs of Ones, given that these are the common element I'm inclined to think they're to blame. The displayed volume level doesn't appear to change in app whil
I have 4 Sonos 1 speakers all connected to the same system. 2 in living room as a stereo pair, 1 in our bedroom and the 4th was in the kitchen. Approx. 12 months ago, the 4th (kitchen) started dropping out and as a result it has not been in use. We have established that there is a coupleof Wi-Fi black spots in our house that virgin are supplying boosters for although not yet received.I have since moved the speaker to my son’s room, closer to the router than our bedroom and it still doesn’t work and keeps dropping out. I have logged in to our router settings and none of the connections are duplicate IP addresses so this is really frustrating. I have also ran Diagnostics and spent a long time on the phone to Sonos and the problem is still not resolved. if anyone can offer any further assistance, that would be much appreciated!obviosuly, I have unplugged and reset all speakers and the router itself as well…
I bought a Beam soundbar a while ago and it was, and has been, fantastic. I then proceeded to install two Era 100s around the house. Apart from the delay issues with the TV connections, it was working fine. A month or so later, one of the Eras disappeared completely from the app. Sonos chat guys helped me through it and I got the Era to reappear but it has always said no connectivity. Went through the motions with Sonos chat and lost interest after 5 hrs of "try this, try that". In the end they were saying that there is no compatibility with my WiFi booster, although it worked fine for a month. Anyone able to help at all?
After last app update. Our three speakers stopped working.Had to re register all three speakers as they had lost internet connection.Took some time to get the speakers working again.Another disappointing App update by Sonos.
Can I use the same pair of Era100s to be both rear telly speakers and a stereo pair for listening to music?
My speakers are acting in a very bizarre manner. At any random point, day or night, they suddenly turn on and off in a quick fashion, like at a rate of 3 - 4 times per second. I have a video I can share if needed. When I open the app, it’s showing the music start and pause in a super quick fashion. I can’t pause it, change stations, or anything. If I try and turn the volume down, it goes straight back to level 15.. exactly. I’ve tried reinstalling the app, and resetting the speakers.. Within minutes it’s doing it again. Is there a fix to this, or did I just lose $400 at Costco?
