If your saved SoundCloud tracks are suddenly refusing to play, you aren’t alone! Here is a quick heads-up on what’s going on and how to easily fix it.The IssueSoundCloud rolled out some backend system updates on Wednesday, March 11th. Because of these changes, any SoundCloud tracks you saved to your Sonos Playlists or Sonos Favorites before that update are now pointing to broken, outdated links.If you are running into this, you’ll likely see generic error messages in the Sonos app, such as:“Could not play [name of song]. Try again.” “Failed to play content. Try again.”The FixThe good news is that your music isn’t gone; you just need to refresh the links. Here is the workaround:Delete the affected track(s) or playlist from your Sonos Favorites or Sonos Playlist. Search for the content again in the Sonos app. Re-add it to your favorites or playlist.It is a bit of a manual process to recreate them, but doing this will update the links and get your music streaming smoothly again.

Your Apple Remote will now control your Sonos sound bar volume again.
I just got a Sonos Ace and I’m trying to use it with my DAC but the supplied 3.5mm cable is too short. Any of you find a third party usb-c to 3.5mm cable that works with the Ace? Or even a usb-c to 3.5mm dongle/adapter that work with the Ace? I’ve tried two different third party usb-c to 3.5mm cables and doesn’t seem to work. Thank you
HelloThis is written not to discourage you from asking questions regarding Sonos speakers of any type. To the contrary it’s written to encourage you think about your question; then ask yourself if it’s one that will get an unbiased answer versus subjective opinions. Let’s begin...Since the release of the Sonos Era 300 and Era 100 series the question is asked “are they worth an upgrade from A Play:1, Sonos One/SL series and/or a Play:3 (*)”. You might notice that I sequenced the first three in a row and left the Play:3 last. I did that purposely by design.The transition from the Play:1 to the One series was mostly cosmetic along with the introduction of the soft touch controls. Sound characteristics did not change to a degree that would warrant an upgrade. Most would need the ears of a canine to perceive a noticeable difference. 😊 Expansion of the internal memory in the Sonos One/SL (Gen2) for future software enhancements was the driver to seriously consider upgrading. Fast forward to
Need to do an international travel with 1 stop. What are the recommendations for Move 2? Should I take it in my Carry-on or check it in? Is it allowed in a checked baggage? And if I do carry with me, any issues with scanners in the US and also during the change of plane? It’s also fairly heavy (7 pounds) so making sure I do the right thing
Hello,Obviously a subjective decision but I am remodelling a TV area…Current have a Sonos Amp driving two “old but gold” floorstanders (AE Aegis Evo 3, about 20 years old) in a large open plan room in front of TV. Have two One rears paired for a 4.0 setup. Sofa in the middle in a reference “square” setup if that makes sense. Surround is limited but decent for me given my usage.Sound quality is good but floorstanders have slightly different character vs the other Truplay’d Sonos speakers in the larger open room as these are not signature matched. I know it’s there but not enough to annoy me. I care most about music. Area itself is for TV but my listening is about 80/20 Music/TV.Atmos etc would be nice for the TV but not at the expense of music which is why I have kept the floorstanders so long.Weighing up options for re-modelling the area (moving to LG G2 77” wall mounted TV, yes I have money to burn), so soliciting the opinions of the learned community here please on the 3 main audio o
Hi all. I have a Sonos Play: 1 system at my house. I recently purchased a new router (a Netgear Nighthawk C7000), and I am having trouble getting my Sonos to connect. I follow all the steps on the Sonos app, and at the end I get an error message saying there was a problem trying to connect. No other information is given. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Hi, i have a question regarding my Ikea x Sonos Symfonisk Wifi speaker. Im planning to sell it to a friend because i preordered the new Sonos Roam. What steps i should take to factory reset and wipe all my data from the Device? Also is there anything additional i need to do than just factory resetting the device? Thank you 😊
Since installing the MacOS Golden Gate Beta, the Sonos app will not find the system.Firewall is off, so the only help in the Sonos app about that is of no effect.I know the app is vintage anyway, but has anyone worked out how to get out working?I know everyone will say use the web app, but it’s crap. I want the app and its native experience with notifications etc.
Hello, new to the forums. Pardons if necessary. I hope this question finds the right mind :)I’m attempting to setup a root page in an app under development and I’d like to use Grid (or Grids?).I’ve managed to setup a list for the root page. It’s plain and simple.But I’ve tried setting up a root to mimic how Spotify and Tunein show their items.If possible, my guess is the data structured in soap to serve the root page is not correct. Can I be pointed in the right direction? Maybe even an example or two? Or some explanations how one might accomplish this? Thanks in advance! Enjoying a speaker I got and the work for an app.
In the FWIW department, I wanted an easy way to spin up all my music to all speakers in my house as well as be able to quickly adjust volume, skip & pause.So if anyone is interested, here’s the initial version of my little app. MIT open source in C#. Suggestions welcome.HotSonos on GitHubBTW, I mapped my controls to the keypad which I never use - add/subtract for volume, multiply for pay and divide for restart.Moderator Edit: Link removed
I have multiple users on my system. Sonos says to log in to get the full experience. Does another user need to set up their own account then log in on the app which is connected to my system or do the need to use my login credentials?
Has anyone fiddled with the Apple Shortcuts automations for Sonos? I created an automation to play every Sonos Room. I know I could have just said “Hey Sonos. Play Everywhere”, but using that option plays the Rooms at whatever volume they were last set at. The beauty using the Apple Shortcuts app is you can preset a volume for each room. Unfortunately when I looked at what music can be played the choices were only radio stations in the Favorites list. Has anyone been able to access Sonos Playlists as well as Radio stations?
Hi All, I am currently in the middle of an extension build, the end result will be open plan dining, then kitchen and an additional seating area at the end, this space is roughly 4.8m x 11m, 3m ceilings... I would like to incorporate speakers for music, and then TV/Movies and PS5 around the seating area. I like the sonos for simplicity and expanding at some point into the garden for summer BBQs.I was thinking either 1) Arc Ultra alone OR 2) Beam2, a sub mini and 2 x ERA 100s on the back wall (either side of the art on the picture) at the tv area, and a ERA 100 at the other end between the dining and kitchen for filling the area when only listening to music.We are at a point of electrics in the build, now I am thinking do I need 2 x 100s wall mounted at either side of the sofa for rear surround? My concern is that I obviously don't have the room to sit them behind the seating area, so will they be too much 'in your ear' for surround sound AND also if your lazying on the sofa listening t
Hi allSearched and found closed topics.Wanted to find out whether the issue of setting an alarm and not being able to add a Group has been fixed? So I set an alarm with a station, choose a speaker (eg my Move stereo pair) and choose “Include Grouped Rooms” but it fails to also then play on my Beam which is part of this Group under “Groups”. If I set two alarms they are out of sync. Any advice? thanks
Spotted last night on TV, wearing Ace for podcast, noise cancelling Andy Burpham?
2 actually, both of them have probably been asked for before.1. Ability to sort Favourites on home screen.2. Individual device volume settings for alarms. This wouldn't be a problem if devices came on at the same volume. A setting of 20 on an Era 100 is not the same volume as 20 on a Roam. I have tried setting individual alarms but they're out of sync. I'm having to group the 2 devices and have the Roam come on at an almost inaudible volume. Happy to group them but would like to control volume by device and not group.
I’ve just seen on my Mac (running Tahoe 26.4.1) that the version of Sonos app I have on my computer will not open in future release of MacOS. Running Sonos S2 version 17.2. (the message directs me to an apple website to learn how to update to Apple Silicon version).I wondered if there will be a solution going forward or is this the end of the app for MacOS?
Hey,just one quick wish: As it would be good for battery health - it would be nice if you can limit the maximum charging capacy of move/roam/play to 80% or 90% on demand by adding a switch under options. Thank you!
Hi again In general I like the user interface in the app and I also like the changes now in july. One thing with the GUI i don't like so much is the display og speaker groups in form in the "player". It's today as "buttons" on a single line on top of the speakers. Even though I initially made 8-10 groups I rarely use them as scrolling to get the wanted group isn't natural use for me. I would like the groups listed somehow - then will selecting a group be easier and more on intiuition. I don't have a clear solution how to improve it. It can be a list above/below speakers, it can be a tan for groups and a tab for speakers. Probably other better solutions - just look into how groups can be displayd best way 🙂Thank you in advance Amund
I currently have an amplified turntable that Is connected to a PORT only so I can listen to my LPs through my SONOS speakers I am upgrading my turntable to a non-amplified version. If I upgrade the PORT to an AMP will that still take the input from the Turntable and play through my existing SONOS Speakers?
HiI would realy like a function to restart one/all speakers. I experience doing that help sometimes to avoid hang/unstability, but with 10 units it's not something i like to do manually… A function in app to restart selected or all units would be verry helpfull. Amund
HiI have been using Sonos system for about a year. We have 8 speakers, 2 beams and are generally verry satisfied with the system 🙂 But I have some wishes for improvements regarding Tidal integration that is the music supplied I mostly use. In Tidal app:The integration should be improved for better stability. I understand that this isn't something you can do by your own, but I guess focus from you on it can bring it forward. I have tried to report it detaily to Tidal but it have'nt been improved so far.I experience that in example changing speaker after starting to play stops it all. Then need to stop Tidal app to get it work again. Adding songs isn't fetched, change order of songs is not fetched and so on. In short: The stability needs to be improved.Tidal in Sonos app:I have been primarily using the Tidal app to play music since I like some features there. But I til stability is improved I will try to use the built in Tidal In Sonos app. There I have this wishes for improvement: -
Hello! I am trying to understand why the middle speaker isn’t “working” when used as rear with Arc Ultra. I almost feel like I don’t hear my rear. I understand that the “Atmos” is working because the side speakers work. But is it ment that the middle speaker shouldn’t work as rear speakers?
Hi! I’m thinking about buying the Magnetar-Audio UDP800 4K UHD Blu-ray player so I will be able to play 4K movies and SACD for music. Will this setup work with my Sonos speakers if I connect the Blu-ray player with HDMI to my TV and then a HDMI from the TV to my Sonos Soundbar? Will it be able to play Dolby Atmos and SACD-sound from the blue-ray player through my TV and then to my Sonos speakers? Do I loose any quality in either sound or video? Do I need for example a receiver as well for this to work?Speakers: Sonos Arc soundbar, two Sonos One speakers for surround and a Sonos Sub Gen 3TV: LG OLED65CX6LABluray player: Magnetar-Audio UDP800 4K UHD
