Got just a simple question.Latest app iOS version… how does Sonos developers continue to screw crap up?  Once again a new update, once again connections screwed up.  Rinse repeat.   sincerely, Irritated user

Gday all from Australia I recently purchased an Arc Ultra (placed under the TV - just not pictured) which has been great. Looking at adding either sub mini/4 along two era 100s?Looking for advice and placement on the basis that the space is living/dining/kitchen. (7m x 6m) Where would you place the tears?Also looking to place some speakers outside in the covered alfresco area. Any advice here is appreciated. 

I have am RT-BE96U router and a sonos system with about 9 sonos S2 speakers.   I also have a Sonos Boost directly connected to the router.  My understanding this is effectively creating its own subnetwork anyway which is the point of the boost (yet is discontinued).  However, I seem to have a lot of dropouts no matter the wifi channel.   Given the Boost is discontinued- I’m not 100% sure it’s being used the same way it was years ago to create its own network. Asus has easy setup of a IOT 2.4 5ghz network.   Would I be able to prevent dropouts and interference if I put sonos on a 2nd wifi iot network by itself? 

What would people recommend for a multi room include outdoor and outdoor garden room. I need something to stream the same music in kitchen/diner, lounge, garden room and outside

i have a pair of sonos 5 and a pair of sonos 1;s i have put the 1;s and the 5’s in the same room then bonded the two rooms together so that i can have them working together...but is their a way to connect the 5;s to the 1;s directly and not through grouping rooms

My home interiors are in progress and my day room, family lounge, dining are all interconnected open spaces.I have attached my Living Room Plan. (ALl measurements rae in milimeters)I dont have too much budget left but want to install SOnos Arc Ultra as of now. Kindly note I have never used any soundbar evr or any other speakers for TV, ever in my life.Will Arc Ultra be sufficient as per attached plan.All inputs will be welcome.Thanks in advance. 

Bottom line: Connect ALL Sonos speakers directly to Wi-Fi if you have a strong Wi-Fi 6 mesh network.Don’t connect ANY speakers to Ethernet, as often recommended for older Sonos speakers like Play:1. This solved my problems with speakers dropping out of a large group and made older Sonos speakers more responsive while grouped with newer Sonos speakers. The details: Sonos Performance Tip: When Not to Use SonosNet (WM:0) Setup Summary:  ~10 Sonos speakers (mostly Play:1 and some newer models) No speakers wired to Ethernet A Boost was available but unplugged Strong Wi-Fi 6 mesh network (e.g., eero, TP-Link, etc.) 1 Gbps fiber internet   Findings:After trying both SonosNet (WM:0) and Wi-Fi mode (WM:1):  SonosNet made performance worse in this setup — more dropouts and instability Switching all speakers to WM:1 (Wi-Fi) resulted in clear improvement Boost was unplugged, and no speakers were wired via Ethernet — relying purely on the mesh Wi-Fi proved more stable   Takeaway: If you

Hi,Reading around it seems last.fm functionality was retired around a year ago. However my scrobbles had been working just fine until the very most recent app update. Now it only scrobbles a small amount, seemingly at random. Very disappointing, but since there hadn't been any update that I can see on these forums, are the team at Sonos looking at restoring last.fm functionality?The app is close to being as it was (though still no ability to create new Sonos playlists on the app, only edit existing ones) but this is a major loss.In the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions to enable scrobbling (simple scrobbler isn't working for me, even with the Sonos player ticked) I'd appreciate it.

This is worth a read for anyone who still has problems and is still checking the community in the hope that things will improve.https://9to5mac.com/2025/05/12/sonos-ceo-says-the-company-didnt-understand-the-real-world/I’m still not sure that they get how frustrating their negligence has been for some users but it looks like they are aiming to get every feature back in this financial year so end of September 2025. This detail may be in one of the other links reporting his comments.

La idea es tener otro altavoz en otro salón que tengo En el piso de arriba en la misma casa y otro más en el jardín.Me gustaría que cada uno tenga la posibilidad de poner su música diferente si así lo deseo o la misma música.Me podrías decir que dispositivo comprar para el salón y jardín. Y que pueda crear ambientes diferentes?Gracias de antemano Jose

Hoping the many experts here can provide me some guidance :)I want to add an outdoor zone comprised of four landscape speakers and an in-ground sub. Something along the lines of the Sonance PATIO4.1 or similar.My question is on the best way to power these as a single zone. Am I correct in assuming I could use a Sonos Amp for the four satellites plus a second amp for the passive sub connected to the sub out on the amp? And if I’m correct, is this the best option or, is there a better way?Also, if this is the ideal way, any amp recommendations for the passive sub? 

I’m wondering how to make a home theater with two 5s what would be the best way to do that? Then what soundbars are able to sink with both 5s if that is the only option. thanks :)

Hola Tengo 3 días que no funciona sonos, mi proveedor de internet es Totalplay Totalplay dice que son las bocinas, sonos dice que es Totalplay Sonos dice que es porque no hay una IP fija Totalplay me dice que no son fijas la IP y siempre cambian Alguien más ha tenido este problema?Cómo lo resolvieron?

Would like to add to my original two speakers. Which ones are compatible with what I have?

Hello - I am setting up my outdoor system and am having issues finding an outdoor sub that will work….  Does anyone know what sub I can use with this?  There are VERY few outdoor active subs out there.  What about passive?  Does that mean I need ANOTHER amp just for the sub?? thanks!G

Hola, he notado que siempre que no estoy reproduciendo música, videos o algo con sonido se empieza a desconectar y conectar de mi teléfono a cada rato. Pasa a la mínima que no estoy escuchando algo y estoy un poco cansado de que eso pase. Alguien me podría dar alguna solución o es que mi producto está descompuesto? Moderator edit:Google Translate-Hi, I've noticed that whenever I'm not playing music, videos, or anything with sound, my phone starts disconnecting and reconnecting constantly. It happens the second I'm not listening to something, and I'm getting a little tired of this happening. Can anyone give me a solution, or is my product defective?

My sound cuts out every 10 minutes when playing albums.I recently switched internet providers from Starlink back to Frontier. No issues with starlink router. I had this problem before with Frontier and remember making changes to the IP address settings.The usual solutions do not work.

Really effecting my decision to purchase more speakers. 😔

Ok here's what I have going on right now, I have a connect gen 2 with rca out ran to an amp powering my 2 outdoor speakers on my patio.  The new tv I put out there this year has terrible audio and wanted to have the option of playing the tv thru my outdoor speakers.  My connect has an optical input, I would assume I can just wire that in but I also don’t want to spend a lot of money running a good optical wire thru my attic how the wire would have to be run.   Am I better off using the hdmi arc out from the tv into an extractor that that did optical out, or that goes to rca out?  I’m trying to avoid the easy solution of spending 700$ on a Sonos amp since I pretty much have everything and can possibly make this work for under 100$. Also will I be able to easily switch between whatever I want to play in my app (which isn’t easy at all, but thats another issue) and the tv audio in the app? sorry I dip my toes at best in this world, and am not big in understanding audio.

Room designations in the app do not stay fixed. How to fix?

Hello Community MembersThis is a step by step visual tutorial on how to set an Alarm with Music  (in the Sonos App) to wake up to; or as reminder, using your favorite tune. Chimes are set by default.  There are a few assumptions made. Such as that you’ve already added at least one (1) music service. This guide is very granular meaning although there are eighteen (18) steps listed many are intuitive. However, rather than leave anything to chance all steps are presented for completeness.  One of the steps involves selecting a music station of your choice. It can be a “Sonos Favorite” you've already set up in the app; or you can use the “Search” feature to select a station, genre, song or artist.  If you already have a music station set under Sonos Favorites; that you’d like to use as an alarm, you can skip to Step 8.  At the end of this tutorial there are also steps on how to “delete” an alarm.  It is hoped that you find this tutorial useful and that it enhances your enjoyment of Sonos.D

In the new 2024 Sonos App :Where are the alarms settings? Where is the Last.fm service?Where is the Android widget?This is a real nightmare. I hope Sonos will fix all that asap because what they did releasing this not finished app is scandalous.

I have my music stored as flac files. All the hints to stop fragmentation of compilation albums (multiple artists on the one album) point to using id3v2 tags. Flac files do not support id3 tags but rather use vorbis format tagging. Does the Sonos infrastructure support vorbis tagging. I saw that the speakers needed update to support the “Album Artist” (albumartist) tag . For exampleI have “1000 Years of Classical Music” 8 CD set. On Sonos this equates to 74 “albums”. I have a number of albums from Bluesfest. If the album has 18-20 artist Sonos will display it as 18-20 separate albums ?. My Music Library is over 16000 tracks consuming over 450Gb. Uncompressed it is over 800Gb.

Title.Also the ability to see/control music from the notification area and lock screen.
