As lots of people know Tidal ditching MQA and moving whole library to FLAC ( finally) is that mean that we will finally enjoy Tidal in high res? Also they moving to dolby atmos and getting rid off Sony's 360. Anyone have more info about this?

Sonos app fails completely on Google Pixel 8

I was very unhappy with the last update to the app because of the missing features already mentioned by everyone. Now the app is completely dead. I have tried usual fixes such as rebooting my router, all connected devices, looking for updates to Android and Sonos, but the app will not open. Instead it appears momentarily and gives an error message. The app does not work on my Samsung tablet either. My only access to Sonos has become my laptop computer. I have invested thousands in Sonos products and am looking for other options. What are comparable products I can use to stream my home music library?

Speaker setup for kitchen dining room

Hi - I am looking for some advice on adding some Sonos speakers to my kitchen dining room, and would like to figure out the best arrangement?The room is approximately 6.7m long and 5.0m wide (though only 3.8m wide for the last 1.7m of length..), with a really high 3.1m ceiling. Half of the room is a kitchen with an island, with the other half a round dining table and couple of chairs separately. Floorplan attached though dining are is an old plan.I was thinking an Era 300 for the kitchen area on a shelf on the back wall and another Era 300 in the dining area on a stand. These are indicated by the circled red crosses on the floorplan below. But would appreciate some advice on whether this is the right balance - overkill or not enough?(Also note, no option to add ceiling speakers or anything built in, as the room is finished)Thanks in advance for any help!

Forced to update the sonos app on July 19 2024- last time I updated I could not play soundcloud

I reverted the app last time since I could not play my playlists on SoundCloud.   Does anyone know if recent changes fixed this?   If I cant use SoundCloud then all that money I spent on these 18 speakers was wasted.  That is 95% of the way  I use the app.

Artist radio (Tidal) not working

With Tidal, the “Artist Radio” hasn't been working since the software update. It now only shows a Playlist of songs, but no way of playing them, short of clicking on each individual song. And then it only plays that song and nothing else.  Please help.

Replace amp and four speakers

Hi everyone! I have an amp and four passive speakers in my living-room. They’re OK but I would like to replace them with two sonos speakers, so I can integrate them in my Sonos system. I have a projector and a TV connected to one Android box. I do everything there: connect to Spotify and other music services, stream films, watch TV… Which options do I have?Thx, regards

New app - alarm function seems to be back

I updated the crAPP earlier this morning (Android).  No meaningful release notes in the Play Store. Turns out it did restore the alarms section but also required an update of my whole system (goodness knows why).After restarting the crAPP once or twice I eventually had my alarm functionality back.  I could not see any other changes.This is positive, although I have lost all and total faith in the SONOS developers and management and fully expect this new update to have broken something else.I don’t know if the iOS crAPP has been updated the same?

Where Is The Official Announcement About 22nd July Update

Sonos have chosen to “leak” the details of this update to a third party and published a teaser that suggested we would see a major update this week but, as has become normal, have failed to communicate what is happening directly to the users most impacted.All of this goes to prove, to me at least, that Sonos does not care about me the user and my investment in their technology. We are now in the 11th week and Sonos still cannot get their act together and communicate properly.

Unable to upgrade sonos because of connect:amp

I have the old connect:amp so I am unable to upgrade my sonos.  The connect amp is connected to 2 hardwired speakers.  I just want to confirm that I can get the Amp to replace the Connect Amp.  It looks like it has the same features and then I can probably upgrade.

Old app now blocked

I should have followed my own advice closer.  Yesterday I noticed steaming services were getting blocked if you hadn't updated.  There was no way to manage the services in the old app without updating.  And once you updated the app it required a system update.So in the course of trying to get SiriusXM removed and re-added I inadvertently allowed a system update to push down.  And just like I warned others,  the system update blocked access for the old app to control the system. And not just from the device I was using at the time - any device running the old version displays an error in the banner stating this version of the application can no longer control the system.  Can't roll back system update that I'm aware of so now I'm stuck with very limited capabilites in the new app. They just hate customers so badly they are going out of their way to force the new app on us.

Who is responsible for BBC Sounds running on my SONOS?

I sent this to the BBC at the beginning of July:YOUR ENQUIRY:Feedback Summary - Sounds stopped working Feedback Description - Up 'til 23/6 BBC Sounds was working through my SONOS system but it abruptly stopped and all attempts to access it since have failed. I can listen to R4 via the MyTuner addon to my SONOS controller. I have tried uninstalling BBC Sounds on SONOS but when I try to reinstall and connect I getCheck your network connectionThere was a problem getting started. Please check your network connection, then try again.This persists.  They replied with generic system advice and suggested getting in touch with Sonos if this didn’t work.

New Home Theater and Music Setup Advice

I’m moving into a new home and looking for advice on multiple sonos products before buying.  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!Primary listening room is an open concept living/dining/kitchen area (~35’x35’ with 20’ ceilings).  65” LG TV with E-Arc connection wall mounted.  Was considering the Arc speaker connected to this TV with E-Arc cable and supported by the Sonos sub.  I have a hard line ethernet cable run to this wall from the office if you suggesting plugging it into the Arc sound bar.  Rear surrounds would sit much further back in the room and likely higher on some cabinets.  Debating between Era 300s and Fives for the rears.  This primary room will be for TV watching, movies, and streaming music.  I’d like this room to be hands free and voice controlled completely if possible.  I’ve had high end setups in the past but i’m trying to simplify this time.  Focusing more on voice control with no remotes or phones needed.I’m considering an Era 100 in the master bedroom,

Setting up x2 Sonos 100 as a system

I recently purchased a second Sonos 100. When I had one, everything worked fine. Now that I have two, the system is very unstable, needs resetting daily, the reset process is inconsistent and the outcome is variable. The best I can hope for is that I can push directly from Apple Music, but often the two speakers aren’t listed as an option. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, created a new user account, done multiple factory resets. Nothing seems to work. Any stable solutions? I also read on here that you can’t actually set two Sonos products as an integrated system, you need a minimum of three. Is this true? All in all, very disappointing as the sound quality is good but only then the system periodically decides to work.

What causes this problem?

So I’ve had this very odd problem for a while now where I can’t get DTS-HD 5.1 to work on my beam gen 2. I’m aware that sonos products doesn't support DTS-HD or DTS-X, but as I understand it when playing a blu-ray with dts-hd 5.1 for example the speaker should output it as PCM 5.1. Here’s the thing tho, I have discs supporting everything from mono dts-hd to dts-x and and they all work perfectly except for 5.1 specifically.If I’m lucky I’ll get functioning sound with the occasional clipping, but most of the time there’s just no sound at all. Again, DTS-HD 5.1 is the only file that doesn't work.For reference I’m playing the discs on a Sony x800m2 and passing the audio through an LG CX to the Beam gen2.Good day

spotify stats

I was just wondering if (when streaming music through spotify on sonos), the spotify statistics are recorded. For example, if they contribute to spotify wrapped and if they contribute music recommendations. The reason I’m asking is because i listen to A LOT of music and find a good majority of it through my spotify recommendations but i feel like it’s been off lately which is probably because i play music 90% of the time through sonos.I should also mention that i play music through the spotify app and just uses the speaker as the device.It sounds dramatic but it’s honestly a deal breaker for me.Oh similarly, does anyone know the answer to this question but for amazon speakers (like an amazon dot)

I’ve looked at an Arc and mini sub but I’ve been told it’s a good set up for theater tv but not brilliant for streaming music.I’m also looking to stream from my Mac or iPhone to the tv and audio out of era300’s or fives. Open to suggestions. thanks
