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SoundCloud tracks you saved to your Sonos Playlists or Sonos Favorites before that update are now pointing to broken, outdated links.If you are running into this, you’ll likely see generic error messages in the Sonos app, such as:“Could not play [name of song].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.

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 😊
Hello Sonos Community,We are testing background listener stability and remote webhook payload handling when integrating external media stream endpoints into automated management systems.Technical Setup: Our integration architecture at Frontline Sales Consultancy (flsc.co.uk) triggers automated data updates and REST API syncs over HTTPS (TLS 1.3). The Issue We're Facing: Under heavy concurrent load spikes, background POST webhook listener sockets occasionally report HTTP 504 gateway timeout responses before acknowledging payload completion. Direct REST API requests to the same remote host resolve normally under 150ms thresholds. Are there recommended network socket keep-alive settings or queue worker retries to prevent connection drops during high-volume audio metadata syncs? Any advice on managing asynchronous background worker threads would be appreciated!Thanks!
Hi allI am waiting the delivery of a Beam 2, Mini sub and 2x Era100s as an undated of my Canton DM55. The Beam and Sub with go under the TV sub either side or behind the cabinet, any advice appreciated. the main question is where do I put the rear surrounds? The main seating is on the brown sofa near the book case and the striped chair. there is a side table to the left of the sofa and a bookcase with CDs to the right of the chair. Would that work of should I look at the top of the main bookcase?any guidance or thoughts please.
I know this is likely just hollering into the wind at this point, but this remains a recurring issue dating back months and months where updates to Sonos S1 Mac app are continually released with completely invalid/missing version data (see https://en.community.sonos.com/topic/show?tid=6931739&fid=229131 and before that https://en.community.sonos.com/topic/show?tid=6929356&fid=229131)The latest version, as downloaded from https://support.sonos.com/en-us/downloads ➡️ https://www.sonos.com/redir/controller_software_mac ➡️ https://update-software.sonos.com/software/DILU1Q33hC/Sonos_57.23-74170.dmg continues to have no valid CFBundleVersion nor CFBundleShortVersionString values specified within the app’s Info.plist file.When running, the app itself reports multiple types of versions within the “About My Sonos System” window, however none of those have any bearing on what the software reports in macOS itself and thus, more critically, to any patching or management systems attempting
i have old gen 2 connect:amp with in wall sonos sonance. want to see if I can set up surround with gen 1 sub and play 3 pair.
I started the setup aded the E100SL speaker. Connected to wifi, then It says - when flashing green and white … press the button.Its flashing green and yellow. But what button?I found something on the kit but nothing happened.is it a button on the app?Have just bought two speakers, beautifully packaged...but so far it's form over function. Going to have to return.Back to my Kef Coda 4s
My system just picked up the Amazon service changes. However, the Desktop app has an empty “Collections” section at the root of the object tree. Mobile shows Library / Explore Podcasts / User Playlists which I assume is correct.
I’m looking for some advice on getting the best possible audio performance from a Sonos system.I’m particularly interested in recommended settings for improving sound quality, maintaining a stable connection, and reducing interruptions when streaming music. I’d also like to know whether network configuration, Wi-Fi performance, or speaker placement can make a noticeable difference.For those who have used Sonos systems for a while, what settings or troubleshooting steps have made the biggest difference to your overall listening experience?Any practical tips or recommendations would be appreciated.
I’m getting a message on my MacBook that the Sonos app will soon need to be upgraded because support for apps built for the Intel processors are being phased out. I have Sonos app version 17.2 and MacOS 26.4.1. Is a newer version of the Sonos app available?
Ok, so I heard that Sonosequencer (iphone aop) could allow you to connect a second sub mini to your main system (In my case, an arc, two era 100’s and the first sub mini). I went ahead and bought a 2nd sub mini and tried it out. It took some time, but the Sonosequencer app finally reconized the 2nd sub and I connected it. It sounded AMAZING! Whats even cooler, is that both sub minis appeared in the native Sonos app and could be both controlled (gain, etc.)I was ready to keep it enjoy this new setup, but my experience told me to make sure that if it got mangled somehow, I could always get the whole system back up and running again with two sub minis. The second time was NOT a charm, and the Sonosequencer app could not ever find the 2nd sub.Bottom line: I had two sub minis working with my system and LOVED it, but since it’s not reliable to set up with Sonosequencer, I’m returning the 2nd sub mini and getting my $500 back.Just reminded me how disappointing it is that Sonos does not s
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?
I built a custom Content Integration through the Developer Portal (developer.sonos.com/s/integrations) to connect Navidrome, a self-hosted, open-source music server, to my Sonos system.It worked. It showed up in the app's service catalog, I added it, and it played fine for about a week. Then, with no change on my end, it disappeared from the app entirely and hasn't come back since — it looks less like something broke and more like it was deliberately pulled.Setup details:- Service Name: Navidrome- Distribution: Development- Service Availability: Global- Authentication: OAuth- SMAPI and reporting endpoints both publicly reachable, valid cert, respond correctly to requests- Sonos ID under Service Deployment Settings matches the household ID shown in-app- Same Sonos account on both app and Developer Portal- App/system fully updated (currently 87.00.38)- Deleted and recreated the integration from scratch (new Integration ID) to rule out stale state — same result, doesn't reappear- It's bee
Just wondering how the Era100 pairs with the Ray
Just as the title says. I know at one point, long ago I had this working. I have network drops at my Amp, and ARC and both of my subs. I want to hard wire all of them into the Ethernet ports and then turn Wifi off on the Arc, Amp, and both Subs. I was able to get the Wifi turned off on my Arc, and then add my Sub, but now that the sub is added to the Arc I don’t have the option to disable Wifi on the Sub. And the “Disable Wifi” on the Arc is checked but greyed out. Can I hard wire everything and turn off Wifi? If not, what is the point of the Sub even having an Ethernet port?
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?
I have a variety of wireless speakers, including Bose,Sonos and Pioneer.If you think I'm ever going to invest another dollar in Sonos products, think again.The Sonos app is about the worse thing a company can do to itself.It's downright product suicide.. the app failures aren't innocuous or trivial, they are of the type that render playing music impossible. On top of the long-running "unable to connect to the Sonos system". Which of course prevents playing music, now today it cannot connect to load service information. Which of course prevents playing music. Never, ever had this problem with Bose.Sonos, you may have fooled me once, but never, ever again Sincerely, a former customer
I was comparing these 2, as with the WiiM Pro (and Pro Plus) you can stream to Sonos as well through DLNA and we have a Sonos system. But honestly the WiiM offer is half the price and seems better across the board. What in the offering makes the Port worth double? Maybe I am missing something? Is it just the name?
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.
