Latest iOS version is a nightmare

Since the Sonos S2 Version 80.00.08 controller for iOS iPhone 13 (v 17.4.1) was introduced a few days ago, it cannot be used consistently producing error messages. “A problem has occured”. Stations previously listened to in MyTuner Radio are no longer available. Some speakers “disappear” and cannot play. “Applying” a change of speaker does not work consistely. My Web version with 5 speaker units still works perfectly.The worse thing is that obtaining support, whatever the time of day, produces 50 minute waits. This is totally unacceptable. Considering the investment made in Sonos (including change from S1 to S2 units, the company is failing its customers and needs to react very quickly. With very comprehensive explanations for a new corrected software.RegardsM.Ransom(French client)

Arc + Sub Mini + Sonance?

I am new to Sonos and new to surround sound/Dolby atmos. I recently purchased an Arc soundbar and am planning on purchasing a sub mini. I believe this will put me at 5.1.2? I was originally planning on adding 2x Era 300s to achieve 7.1.4 but the decoration committee vetoed that and would prefer an in wall solution. Now I am looking at the sonance in-ceiling/in-wall options and I have a few questions: Can I achieve 7.1.4 by adding both in-ceiling and in-wall with two amps? By adding only the in-walls would this be 7.1.2? What is preferred and why? The 8in in-ceiling or the in-wall?  Thank you!

Emails about Brand New Sonos Headphones Bit Not About the New App

It looks like Sonos have shown where their priorities are: I have just received an email promoting their “fantastic” headphones, but I never once received an email telling me that they were going to do a major overhaul of the app, remove SMB1 shares or remove critical pieces of functionality from the app. So to anyone thinking of buying the headphones - beware that Sonos are likely to screw it up when they have another new piece of hardware they want to sell, since they don't care about existing customers.

Sonos are deleting "I won't buy headphones" posts

I guess they want the message coming from Google searches to be as positive as possible.

New, May 2024 Sonos S2 app network access

I’ve just upgraded to the new, May 2024 Sonos S2 app.  It wants local network access (photo).  It already has this.I’ve toggled Sonos’ local network access on and off in iPadOS settings.  No luck.  The app just keeps asking for access.  I’m now unable to use my Sonos system from the device I use most.Does anybody else have this problem, and is there a solution other than to wait for Sonos to fix it?Peter

Sonos App keeps running an error

Hello, I can’t use the Sonos app as it keeps running an error. It says that the software needs to be updated and when I try to update it, it asks me to log in, and then it runs an error. Has anyone encountered this problem and knows how to solve it?In general the Sonos app faces tons of issues constantly but now I can’t even use it! Thanks,Male.

Hooking Up Turntable

I’ve seen there are a few ways to hook up an analog stereo to Sonos speakers. I have a few pieces of kit going into a graphic equalizer and the EQ goes out to my current amplifier.What’s the best device for connecting all that to the Sonos? I’d guess the EQ can output directly to a Sonos Amp. That’s a lot of money. Are there other more economical options?I guessWhat’s the best What’s the most cost-efficient And what are the trade-offs between the two?

Is it possible to play one sonos move at a time

I have two Sonos Move speakers that are paired. Is it possible to play music from only one speaker without unpairing?When I unpair them, sometimes I have difficulty re-pairing them, so I would prefer to not have to unpair but be able to play one speaker at a time.The reason for this is at times I take one speaker to my backyard and leave the other in the house. But the one in the house is also playing which at times is disturbs those sleeping or watching tv.  If I hit the power button on one speaker it turns both speakers off

Buying the headphones?

I was determined to buy the Sonos headphones as soon as they were released. Now I'm hesitant, to put it mildly… My trust in Sonos has diminished considerably after the debacle of the ‘new app’ that removed much of the functionality I'm depending on.

The firm ware will not update after factory reset. I cannot add this speaker. The unit was repurposed to me from a friend. Any ideas? I am using a 5G router from Verizon.

Please bring back AutoPlay for input ports

I’m really missing the now absent AutoPlay feature on Line-In ports as of the latest 80.00.08 (BOOOOB?) update.As I’m using a Sonos system (2xFive+1xSub gen 3) in my office as the main driver for my Desktop PC (Linux, premium sound card connected via jack to Sonos’ Line-In port) I find myself (annoyingly)often having to open the app on my phone in order to enable this Line-In port.This whole operation is really unnecessary since I’m quite confident the Line-In config option still exists on OS2 and porting/refactoring this feature wouldn’t take a huge effort since we’re just talking about a toggle that enables a config flag in the existing OS2 platform (just guessing here).I know for a fact that the current firmware on all my devices was OS2 while using the previous app, so obviously the API to do this is still available.Beautiful hardware that’s constantly apologizing for it’s PoS software.

which turntable?

Hi this is somewhat confusing and would have expected the Sonos site to be more wizard like to assist choosing a turntable. We have an arc, sub and 2x plays 1s in the lounge, we have play bar and 2x 1s in bedroom. We have a 5 gen1 in kitchen and a play 1 in the study. we would like to add a turntable to the mix. Ideally hooked up in the lounge to the arc and I revive I need a pre out amp integrated into the turntable and connect that to a port or connect which will enable the turntable to play to any speaker? The other option is to buy a high end turntable that has WiFi built in? Thank you

S2 update a little progress, but "something went wrong" message persists.

Used mainly for streaming iTunes library. At first not recognising the shared music file on my NAS. I then loaded the Sonos S2 App on my Mac Studio and was able to delete and re-enter the music directory on to my Sonos Port. Next, still on my Mac, my NAS password was not accepted so I deleted the password and re-entered it and this time was accepted. From my iPad, my NAS music folder was visibly present on my Port including album art. So S..L..O..W, but I was able to select a file to play, however, on every occasion I got a “something went wrong message”. This is where I am now, no music able to play yet. Fortunately, I have another brand of streamer which continues to access and play from the same music folder. If the Sonos app problems still persist in a month’s time I will ditch my Port. I feel sorry for those users who have invested intensively in Sonos products. My Port is connected by ethernet and I have also dis-connected my boost.

Sonos App

Is it possible to revert to the previous version of the app. I installed the new version about a week or ago and now my entire system is pretty much unusable.  I can’t play anything from my music library which previously was fine and if I try to play a radio stream it plays in random rooms and I can not turn it off.
