I have two Western Digital My Book Live NAS units installed similarly in two locations. As of several months ago, I am no longer able to index the library for both. The error message: “The [drive name] is no longer available.” On one, I deleted the music library hoping I could add it back in, and am unable to do so, displaying the same error message.  On the other, I am able to run my FLAC files with no problem, but cannot index. Sonos tech support has not been able to resolve - they are still working on it. The firmware has not changed for the NAS since 2015. I’m running S2 at both locations. Because of this situation, I am looking for current year 2022 recommendations for replacement NAS units in case I have to do so.

Hi All,Can anyone recommend how to stream high quality Grateful Dead?  I have SiriusXM but can’t figure out how to get the higher quality internet/app version to stream over sonos.  Satellite is understandably lower quality but there is a higher quality over the internet and over the phone app.  Has anyone dealt with this and have input?An altogether new GD streaming source would be great to learn of also.  Any input?thanks,Dave

I am building out a home network and Sonos solution at the same time. I am planning on having a couple of amps wired via ethernet in a closet, but I also want to add one by our pool area. The SonosNet wifi definitely won’t reach there, but our home internet will, which would mean I’d need to go with a wireless setup, right? If that’s the case, will ethernet work on the ones inside the closet despite being in a wireless setup?

The 13.4.1 S2 update added hi-res (Ultra HD) and Dolby Atmos audio support from Amazon Music Unlimited. With this update, Sonos released this great article about hi-res audio and how you can listen to it on Sonos. It’s a very detailed and well-written article:https://blog.sonos.com/en-us/hi-res-audio-guide

How can I listen to BBC local radio when the Winter Olympics are on ?

I purchased a Sonos Roam - it did not work. I have returned it and purchased another is the hopes that the first was simply defective. How do I remove the original Roam product from my account - as I have returned it to the store.

i have a sonos amp connected HDMI to my TV and line-in to my peloton. When using LFE to my 3rd party subwoofer, the line-in removes 75% of the bass which means i have to increase the gain to hear it at the same level when just using the sonos app. When using HDMI from the TV, or the sonos app, the subwoofer is way too loud which means each time I use the line in, i have to adjust the sub gain in the app up and then move it back down when watching TV or listening to music.Is this a known issue? How can i either set the equalizer unique to each input or have the bass output be the same across all inputs?

I’d like to take my pair of Sonos Moves to a friends house for a visit. What’s involved in hooking them up to a different wifi (while the rest of my sonos gear remains home) and then hooking them back up to my wifi when I get home?

Moderator note: Newer Sonos products do support Bluetooth. Please see our support article Use Bluetooth on Sonos for more information. Hi All,I am aware that Sonos beam does not support Bluetooth, but has anyone tried using any kinds of converter that helps to enable bluetooth connectivity with Sonos beam ?I have an LG HU70LA projector with firestick, which I want to mount on ceiling. I don’t want to run an HDMI cable from ceiling to Sonos beam since its an hasstle.I am looking to connect Sonos beam to firestick from projector.Anyone aware of solutions?

Well, Sonos delivered on their promise to bring DTS Surround 5.1 support to the Arc. Below is what I got with the following source and equipment. Maybe DTS:HD will come later.

Would you PLEASE add Scribd to Sonos Services?I asked this 2 years ago and still nothing and I have not been the only one, I reached out to Scribd and they said it has to come from your end, not theirs.I also requested the add to queue option for audiobooks like there is for music, would love to know where this is in development as well.

Hi, I had the problem that dialogs were extremely soft on my Sonos Arc + Sub + 2x One surround. I already tried:Enabling Speech Enhancement Enabling Night Sound Tuning via TruePlay Disabling the 2x One Surround Disabling Loudness Manually tweaking EQ Resetting to factory defaults and trying these things once moreThe problem remained. I found several threads with people reporting the same problem, some even returning their Arc:https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/ocsxnw/arc_dialogue_too_quiet/ And they all provided the same tips and strategies that I already tried and listed abive. Some of the tips would help maybe 20%, but dialogs remained extremely soft to the point where I too considered returning the Arc. I was coming from the Playbar and never had such issues.Then I found this post:  which explained that the Arc does not support LPCM which my Apple TV 4K was sending out. In the Apple TV 4K’s audio settings, I had to explicitly opt out of Dolby Atmos and let it re-encode all

My local university radio station is cjsw.com. I can use my Sonos app to listen to the station with no issue. On the web site they have all the programming available to listen to after the fact. I can go back a month or two and listen to a show I may have missed. I can find no way on the Sonos app to open and play previous programming. Does anyone know if this is possible? If not possible it would be great if Sonos added this as a feature. And if it was dependent on the Radio Station allowing it I’m sure CJSW would be more than happy to oblige if a donation was made.

Hi Folks,I noticed today that below Sonos Radio stations have disappeared:Glide Path Drum & BassI’ve been unable to find an announcement about their removal.Are they missing for everyone?Does Sonos publish release notes for radio station changes? Many Thanks 

After my Samsung Galaxy S20 updated to Android 12/One UI 4, I have lost the Sonos controller as a lock screen widget. The latest OS seems to group lock screen widgets in categories, such as “Music.” All of my device music/podcast app controls work as lock screen widgets in the music/media output category. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the Sonos controller working again on the lockscreen - never fully recognized how useful it was until it was gone.

Please can we have hi res audio for play bar?  I can’t see it on the list of supported products and plan on keeping it for another couple of years yet. Thanks, Duncan

Driving me mad - does anyone know where I can find the version of Blondie - Heart of Glass that Sonos Radio plays? its not the original Parallel lines version as it has a different playout with Clem Burke doing different paradiddles to fade out. Help!

My Arc has been on back order.  The expected ship date was 1/21/22, but I’ve heard nothing.   Just keep waiting?  

Hi all,I was looking at purchasing my first Sonos product with the view of progressing to a home cinema system and multiple speakers throughout my house. I’m probably looking at around £1000 to get started, so wondered what the best option would be. I currently own a Panasonic 49 inch tv which is wall mounted. My sitting room, is 4.60mx 3.60m so relatively small. I was looking at either the Beam + 2x OneSL or just the Arc? I could maybe stretch to the Beam + Sub at a push. I had just wondered if anyone had any recommendations as a startup?  Thanks all. 

Samsung 8K Television Antenna audio stops in Arc soundbar. DirectTV and Apple TV Sound never quits.Talented home owner and installer unplug electricity and Antenna audio works again. Looking for help.

Since the most recent updates to the controller and to players, the white status light on my new Roam will not turn off no matter what the settings are in the controller.  I have seen a couple of other threads on this same issue that are closed to further comments.  Does that mean Sonos is working on a fix?  I do not have the same issue on my many other players and amps, just on the Roam.

I am considering a Roam for my office set-up and would prefer to position it vertically on my desk - my concern is that it doesn’t have the rubber ‘feet’ on the end, in the same way as it has on it’s side, and may cause it to vibrate on the desk surface. Does anyone have any experience with this type of set-up? Thanks D

Is there a station on Sonos radio that plays songs from Spoon’s new album, for example? It’s all over Sirius but I literally haven’t heard it once on a Sonos radio station. Indie Gold and Alternative Energy don’t play anything new. 

Just purchased an Arc to go on my 2013 Panasonic Plasma,  The TV has ARC HDMI but obviously no eARC.  I see that I could buy the Fury splitter, but at that price I’d rather wait and get a 65”C1 at some point.  Just not ready to depart with my Plasma yet.
