It is unacceptable that a program that completely depends on an app would end support for any of its devices. Especially ones only a few years old. I have a house full of Sonos speakers and was planning on adding more, but not if the support is obsolete or will end a coulple years out from any future OS. 

After a lot of frustrations and a lot of troubleshooting I have finally got my network and Sonos playing nicely. I run a Cisco enterprise network at home. WS-C3850-12X48U-E switch and AIR AP3802I and AP1562I access points. Switch configuration:IGMP has to be enabled for the VLAN you have your Sonos connected toip igmp snooping querier address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (VLAN interface IP)ip igmp snooping vlan 410 querier address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (VLAN interface IP)ip igmp snooping vlan 410 immediate-leaveSince I have Sonos Era 100 Pros. If you want them to be able to use more than 15.4 watts of PoE power you need to enable LLDP.  After that they’ll use 30 wattslldp runPorts are configured as access ports with spanning-tree portfast switchport access vlan 410 switchport mode access spanning-tree portfastThat’s all I needed to do on

I have Sonos Era 300 and Roam 2 in my little bedroom. I take Roam 2 when I travel. The new speaker Sonos Play 2026 seems good. I am thinking to buy one more Sonos speaker. Someone said buy another Era 300, but my room is really small though I can still put it in. So now I am really hesitating buy another Era 300 to make pair or buy new Sonos Play? I do have Samsung 11.2 soundbar in my living room. So I don’t need any speaker in living room. I also have 1 Bose portable smart speaker in my bedroom. So currently 3 smart speakers in my bedroom, 2 Sonos and 1 Bose. Plus 1 XiaoMi smart speaker in my ensuite bathroom. Those speakers can play same music via airplay/airplay 2. But only Ear 300 support Dolby Amos. If Sonos Play 2026 support it as well. Then my next speaker purchase definitely is Play. But unfortunately Sonos Play 2026 is not support Dolby atmos. As you know my bedroom is small. So could you please make recommendation buy Era 300 or Play 2026? Many Thanks.  

It is weird to have the Mac app’s view of the Sonos Favorites (beloved, correct) and the iOS app’s view of the Sonos Favorites (graphic-heavy, weird, unc) so very different. But I have a very, very simple way out of this mess. In the iOS app settings, there should be a setting:Sort By:( ) Alphabetical( ) RecencyTa-daaa! Everyone gets what they want. 

Hi, my family has a house filled with at least 15-20 sonos speakers in the ceiling, amps, connects, arc, etc.  I was surprised when we didn’t get a 25% offer email like everyone seems to be getting.  Any idea how we can get the 25% offer as I just moved out and now want to fit my house with a few thousand $ in speakers for an awesome gaming/movie setup. I have a 20x20 family/media room in my new place, with one wall for the tv completely shelved (not sure if that’s good or bad for speakers). Help me decide what speakers to get and where to put them? From an aesthetics standpoint I was thinking arc ultra right under the TV, sub in the front corner of the room.  I am new to background speakers, but see people tend to have two. So thinking two era 100s or 300s on stands in the back corners (aesthetically better for us than right behind the couch). I was hoping to get the sub era 3 open box and then use the 25% off to

Hey - I’m doing an addition and it’s going to be an 18 x 26’ Golf simulator/Theater addition.  I’ve started my research and would really like to go the Sonos route but have seen some conflicting information on if its enough to power my room with my distance from where the speakers will be behind my impact screen.  I’m going to have a 16’x9’ Screen and want to have my walls built to house the speakers and was thinking that I’m going to do a Center sound bar with 2 channels behind the impact screen, along with a sub or two behind the screen and then two side channels mounted to the side of the couch, and then possibly two rear channels.  My overarching question is am I too far away from the screen (Sitting approximately 24’ away) to get the benefit of the Sonos system or am I better off going in wall speakers with an amp/reciever? Thank you!!!

Yes, I realize that this has been asked before, but with macOS losing Rosetta 2 with macOS 28, coming out in 2027, is there any chance of the desktop Sonos app being ported to Apple silicon?I primarily use the macOS app, and am not really looking forward to relying on the web app, since I live in an area with poor internet availability.

 I’m getting the error “the track is not encoded correctly” on Sonos S1 when trying to play DR’s radio channels via DR LYD. Both the app and firmware are fully updated, but the issue happens every time.It seems like a compatibility problem with DR’s current stream format on the S1 platform.I do not want to use TuneIn as a workaround, since I prefer using DR’s official stream.Does anyone know whether DR’s current stream is compatible with Sonos S1, or if there’s a proper fix

Avec quel autre produit puis-je compter ma spaire sonos Move 2 

Did a search but everything that came up related to using Airplay. Just interested in seeing if SONOS has or intends on developing a SONOS app like on my iPhone, iPad etc. for the Apple TV? It would be awesome to have that! 

Hi everyone,I’d like to raise (again) a feature request that has come up in several threads already, because it significantly affects the listening experience for people using Sonos home theater systems as their primary music system.My setup is an Arc Ultra with Sub and Era 300 surrounds. For movies and Atmos content, the system is excellent. However, the experience when listening to stereo sources over HDMI (YouTube, Spotify via PlayStation, TV apps, etc.) is honestly extremely disappointing.When the system receives Stereo PCM 2.0, only the soundbar plays while the rear speakers remain silent. Sonos currently does not provide an option to duplicate or upmix stereo channels to the surrounds for TV sources.This means that a multi-speaker system that costs several thousand dollars ends up behaving like a single soundbar for a huge amount of everyday content.What makes this especially frustrating is that Sonos already supports something very similar f

 Hello, A very important feature is currently missing, and I'm surprised it hasn't been implemented yet. The ability to edit and manage radio favorites would be a huge plus for me. With the MyTuner Pro app, you can manage and, more importantly, move your favorites. Audials Play goes even further, allowing you to create multiple favorite lists. How can I suggest Sonos add this feature? Is it easy to contact them? Do they even check this forum?

I am pretty cdrtain this has been asked before but I cannot find any reference to it so here goes:-My HDMI cable connecting my LG TV to my Sonos Beam has developed a fault (picture below), what is the best high speed HDMI cable that is compatible with my system please? 

This app should be offered by Sonos; it's terrible. 

Hi In the last week or so, Plex has stopped working in Sonos. You can see all the library items but the songs won’t play. I have done everything, including overhauling my network and doing a clean install of Plex on my QNAP NAS. I have spent days trying to troubleshoot this issue but so far, nothing. So I am wondering if anyone else might be having this issue, and has it been caused by a firmware update either on Plex side or Sonos? I have reached the point where I'm going to either have to ditch Plex or Sonos so that i can enjoy listening to my music without the hassle. I would really appreciate any advice that someone here might have. Thanks Jay

The Sonos Port is designed to be connected to external audio devices, it is the sole purpose of this device. Those external audio devices are likely to add latency due to audio processing. It makes no sense to expect users to remove audio processing just to have the port be able to almost be in sync with other sonos devices in the house.  To resolve this, the sonos port should have negative delay.   This is how I believe it should work. Obviously adding negative (future) delay is impossible. When a Sonos Port is configured with a negative delay of say 60ms, and it is joined into a group with other Sonos devices, the OTHER devices should have a positive delay of 60ms added to them, which would allow the port to be in sync with the entire group.  When the Sonos Port is removed from the group, they would remove that added positive delay. I know this has been discussed in other topics which are all closed now, but this device really takes a hit when it can’t

Album Artwork is in a folder on desktop marked Album Artwork.jpg. Somehow, I have to include this folder in the pathway! Oh, the PATHWAY!! When I do create a pathway it says access to the shared folder is denied check username and password. when I updated my music library one piece of artwork transferred. I can't figure out why that worked and none of the rest worked… Help
