I love a lot of the Sonos Radio stations I’ve listened to - but sometimes I can’t find them when I go to Sonos Radio and browse the categories. Two examples (in app and web app) - If I browse to sleep sounds, I see 3 stations:Piano for Sleeping, Rain and White Noise. But I remembered using others ones - so when I search for sleep I find others - like:Rockin’ Chair, Oceon Sounds, Forest Sounds, Rainforest, Pink Noise, Brown Noise.When I browse to Artist Exclusives, I see 9 stations, but I remembered Bjork had one and it isn’t there. If I search for Bjork, I find it in the search results. I tried the Sonos support bot - which basically told me to use search for the missing ones. I find that unsatisfying though. I hoped that browse would always be a full set of stations where I could be introduced to new stations and see all existing stations. I have no idea what other stations are missing from browse. Has anyone compiled a list of stations or have any tips on finding the missing Sonos St

Hi All! I am contemplating installing a Sonance MAG 6.1 but need 2 add 2 speakers which I understand can not be added in wired fashion. I was told that i could run 2 extra wifi speakers off the sonos app. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not?  Thanks!

Where is the EQ setting in Android app ?In IOS (IPad) i could find it in Device setting.The inconsistent menu between IOS and Android is confusing. 

I recently purchased the new Sonos Arc Ultra as the main soundbar for my living room. I’m in a new house, and the living room is just about 20 yards away from another secondary living space. One of the things that sold me on Sonos was the ability so connect many speakers throughout the home, since we have a fairly open floor plan and like to entertain. In my secondary living space I have 2 bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer that I’d like to be able to sync with the main soundbar for TV audio. Will the Sonos Port work for this? We use YouTube TV, so playing audio through the two discreet speaker systems means the audio in both rooms is out of sync with each other, which is maddening since the rooms are within earshot of each other. I’d planned on hooking up the Port to my bookshelf speakers, but I’ve read some places that there is a lag on the TV audio. It’s not clear to me if that’s lag from the TV itself, or from another “primary” sonos device that’s playing TV audio. Basically, the g

Hello All, I’d like to connect a DJ’s consol to my Sonos Arc.From consol I only have a chinch cables, how can I connect it?

Hi all, thanks in advance for any advice given. I’ve read other topics around turntables but not quite got the info I need. You will gather as you read my question that I’m not particularly tech savvy hence asking all you knowledgeable people out in the community 😊I bought a Beam 2, 2 x era 100 and a mini sub for my LG TV last month and am very happy with it; it sounds fantastic in my living room. In my kitchen I have my old stack system. A Pro-Ject RPM 1.3 Genie turntable, a Rotel RA-820B amp, cd player and tuner and 2 sets of Tannoy mercury F speakers attached via a switching box for 2 room playing. I’d like to add my turntable to the Sonos setup. The cd player, tuner and speakers are now obsolete with the purchase of the Sonos but I’d like to keep my LPs.My understanding is that my amp has a phono pre amp for the turntable (photo for info) the turntable doesn’t have its own pre amp. Therefore if I wanted to connect to the Sonos over my WiFi connection I’d need to buy a Sonos port a

I've got a stereo pair of play 3's downstairs not doing much anymore, just a bit of Spotify. What, if any, options do I have these days to send audio from portable devices? For example, watch a movie (think any of the numerous video streaming services available) on a phone, tablet, or laptop but have the audio output from the play 3 pair? So far it seems impossible without another device added to the mix. I have a play bar and sub upstairs, also a Move 2.Thank you kindly.

Hi all,I searched the forum for this but all the relevant threads were closed, so that’s why this new thread.With Sonos Ace it’s possible to listen to the tv through a compatible sound bar. I own the Beam (gen 1) so that shouldn’t be a problem.My question: will it be possible to listen to music through the Beam? Is it technically so different listening to the tv through the Beam than it is listening to music? Usually I listen to my library through 2 Play3’s en 1 Beam.My music library is on a Synology NAS

My set home theater set up was working fine with Sonos arc, two back speakers and the mini sub, working with my ps4.I connected my ps4 to internet (I don't know if it's related) and on the same day, the crackling noise started.I can see that many people have had that problem, going back 6 years ago!!Are you guys going to fix this?We've all paid good money to have good sound. And we don't.And I don't want to go through all the nonsense of "doing this, unplugging that, trying this or reset that…" I have set it up well, it was working, and now it's not.Make it work or give me a refund thanks. 

I have read extensively on the Sonos Forum and elsewhere and am struggling for clarity on a fairly basic question: can a Sonos Sub be connected to a Sonos Amp via standard home WiFi or can it only be connected via the network that the Sonos Amp creates (unclear whether that is called Sonosnet or something else when it is 2.4GHZ or 5 GHZ but neither work for me as signals don’t reach far enough).  My use case is pretty simple:  I have an AV closet with multiple Sonos Amps are that are connected to ceiling speakers in multiple parts of the house.  The subs for the rooms are too far away from the amps to connect via the proprietary Sonos network.  I know this because if I put the subs next to the amps near the AV closet they connect and work fine.  But when I move them to the relevant rooms they show up as Sub Not Connected.  I do not have Ethernet ports to hardwire the subs in these rooms. So, is there a way to connect the Subs to the amps via WiFi?  Is so, what settings do I need to mod

Hello,My dog ​​ate the power cord of my Era 300. Could you please confirm that this is the right power cord?https://www.sonos.com/fr-fr/shop/angled-power-cableThank you in advance,

I have Sonos Beam (Gen 2) and two Sonos Era 300s as surrounds. I know that front-firing speakers are disabled when Era 300s are used as surrounds. However, in my case, only the outwards facing side speakers are playing. There is no sound coming from the inwards facing side speakers. I tried to remove and add surrounds in the app multiple times and it made no difference.When tried Dolby Atmos sound test (available in Dolby Atmos from Apple Music or Tidal), both left and right surround and left and right surround channels were played played by the same side-firing speakers of Era 300s.Do you have it the same?--Sorry, I meant both left and right surround and left and right REAR surround channels were played by the same side-firing speakers of Era 300s. Moderator Edit: Combined thread and reply.

Trying to listen via S1 App to Mixcloud content via my Sonos system.Can search Mixcloud OK but not getting any audio at all - I can listen via the Mixcloud site after listening to an ad.Is anybody else having this issue?

Hi everyone,I recently bought a Sonos Arc Ultra and noticed a small depression in the top center of the speaker grille, approximately where the led is located. It’s not visible in photos and can only be felt when I run my finger across it. Is this part of the design, or could it be a defect? I haven’t noticed any issues with sound quality, but I just want to be sure. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Thanks in advance! 

I’ve been muddling through getting my local Mac music library accessible to Sonos (something I used with no issues for years before the App was improved).  I have it working sometimes but also not working.Some of the tracks work exactly as they should, launched from the Sonos program on the Mac or from the App on my  iPhone.  Some of them fail from my Mac, but then work from the iPhone, and then also work from the Mac. Others pop a persistent error message of the form:Unable to play '<track name>.m4a' - cannot connect to /<HOSTNAME>/<DIRECTORY> because the server cannot be found. My music library is on an external disk mounted directly on my Mac which is sharing the filesystem (SMB enabled).  I am trying to launch the music from the Sonos program on my Mac and also from two family iPhones.It seems bizarre that some tracks are just fine while others that in some cases are in the same subdirectory can not be played.  Or perhaps, its that the server cannot be found for s

After updating the Sonos app on 4/9/25, Amazon Music will not play properly.  Songs start and then quit playing or I get an error like ‘Song not encoded properly’.  What is going on??  Why the continual problems with Sonos??!  What can be done to fix this issue?  I’ve already removed Amazon Music and then added it back -- no change, still skips or partial plays.  Please fix this!!

I have a playbar and 2 move speakers that are connected separately.  It’s a small rectangular den and the move speakers are in the back of the room behind the sofa, but they often drop the sound for a second but it happens repeatedly.I am looking to get 2 speakers that I can connect with the playbar for home theatre surround sound.  (I also have a sub).Customer service told me that sonos 5, 1, 1SL, play 1, 3, 5 are compatible with the playbar.Which do you recommend?

I upgraded my Arc to an Arc Ultra over the weekend and I have a couple thoughts on how this process could possibly be improved. 1 - Allow quick setup for soundbar replacement  - I would guess that it’s fairly common for a consumer to upgrade their soundbar while keeping the same sub and surround speakers.  In this scenario, it would much appreciated if you could simply run a copy wizard to bring over all the setting from the previous theatre room (room name, TV setup, voice assistant, etc) as well as automatically recreate the dedicated connection to sub(s)  and surround speakers.  Since the room audio dynamics isn’t changing either, bring over the trueplay settings too.  That’s assuming that trueplay, doesn’t depend on speakers involved but on room acoustics alone (or the room accoustics aspect could be saved separately so that you don’t have to wave your phone around again, the calculations are just redone).To clarify, I have no idea how often setups are soundbar replacement only, an

After a lengthy foray into Echo Speakers I’m returning to Sonos.  Early set up is Beam Gen 2 in living room and 3 Era 100 (1 in Kitchen & 2 in dinning room), more will follow. Dining room doubles up as listening to music, light gaming and usually where drinks are consumed room. I need to be able to run TV, old CD player, old tape deck, Brennan B2 and Nintendo Switch.  Would I be correct in thinking I can do this with a AV receiver using line out to Sonos adapter into one Era 100 and everything else fed through receiver.  It seems to make sense in my head but wondering if I’m missing something obvious.  I’m no audiophile so don't need ultimate anything - just access to above and Apple Music (subscription and library for ripped cd’s) and old tape collection. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I want some advice as I will be new on Sonos and sound systems. I just bought a big TV (OLED 77 G4) and I want to put a system for the TV. I’m thinkin on the ARC ULTRA + one sub + 2 rears.These are some of the doubts I do have:How worth it it is to move to Sub 4 instead of Sub Mini? How worth it it is to move from Era 100 to Era 300 as rears?Apart from that, I’m thinking on getting also a Move 2 for moving it around the rooms… Opinions on that device?And last but very important point… I want to get benefit of the sonos system with a turntable… so I’m doubting which is the best way to connect it to them…Options I’m thinking:Sonos Port + Any turntable A turntable with BluetoothAre there others? Which one do you think is the best one? I’m new on this and any experience advice will be highly appreciatedThanks!!!

SonosNet Channel is showing as an option in the Network settings on my Sonos app, but I’m not sure why.  The reason I’m asking is that I’m trying to get to the bottom of why my app lags more than it used to. I have tried Sonos support and given them diagnostics, but after 1hr and 20mins on the phone to them nothing had improved and I’m none the wiser. They asked me to connect a speaker via Ethernet to create a SonosNet but that seemed to make the lag worse.  I have since done a hard reset of all speakers, uninstalled and reinstalled the Sonos app on my iPhone. But the SonosNet channel still appears as an option. I have 5x Sonos Play 1 speakers and 2x Sonos One speakers in my system. All of them are showing as WifiMode1, so are connecting to my WiFi. I have an EE Smarthub router, with WiFi turned off and use a TP Link Deco X50 mesh system in AP mode. I have reserved the IP addresses for the Sonos speakers. I get a strong, stable and 70mbps+ WiFi signal from the mesh system in all the ro

Why, oh why does Sonos artificially limit use of two sub minis with ARC Ultra? Don’t bother with corporate line because I KNOW it works using 3rd party apps. 

Will I ever be able to play songs (i.e., mp3s) stored directly on my phone to my SONOS system (without using a 3rd party app like Spotify, YouTube Music, etc.)?

Perhaps my biggest gripe with Sonos is how bad the integration with soundcloud is. Never mind the 100 track limitation on the likes but the music discovery part completely sucks. When can we expect a better integration
