Hey folks, More than 2 months now have gone by and I am still happily on my old S2 app, all updates disabled.Why? Because the new app with all its updates is sooooo useless, slow, laggy etc. Here are some (very technical) explanations as to why it is so (not by me):https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-happened-sonos-app-technical-analysis-andy-pennell-wigwc And here some suggestions on how to fix it (not by me):https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/1dy8srm/common_fixes_on_a_home_network_for_mdns_new_sonos/https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/1dyxx6o/the_latest_info_on_fixing_your_completely_gone/ Now the bad news: the fixes do not work … at least not for me.I have an Asus AIMesh for years with some powerful routers interconnected. Same Network/Subnet? Check.  Check Wi-Fi Isolation? Check. Multicast/IGMP Settings. Check. Never touched these, they were always enabled. But the whole system is still laggy (with the new app only). The first article mentions the chatty communnication via

Hi I want to set my Sonos play 1 up in my beach house where I just use to share WiFi from my phone to other devices. How can I do that?

I have had Sonos for many years and have added  in quite a few wireless products. I would like to make it more of a home theater system, where I can plug in an iPhone and play from a playlist or even insert a thumb drive with a playlist on it to play, custom music selections. How do I do this? Will the amp satisfy these requirements? 

 Hi everyone,I'm reaching out to this community because I'm at my wit's end with my Sonos system. When it works, it's absolutely amazing – the sound quality is top-notch, and I've invested in quite a few of their products over the years. However, the reliability issues have become unbearable.For the past few months, even before the recent app update, I've been experiencing constant problems. Music often won't stream at all, it stops mid-play, some speakers refuse to connect, and sometimes I can't connect at all. These issues are making the system practically unusable, which is incredibly frustrating given the amount of money and effort I've put into it.I'm now considering alternatives to Sonos. Can anyone recommend a different setup that offers similar sound quality but with better reliability? I'm open to all suggestions, whether it's another multi-room system or even a different approach to home audio.Thanks in advance for your help!!!!

Yes, you can invest in Sonos with confidence despite what you might read in this community regarding issues with the new Sonos app. Let me explain…Generically speaking any updated and/or re-built software that has been generational is primarily designed with the latest gear and future iterations in mind. However, software engineers also build in backwards compatibility so as not to leave behind and/or cause problems for customers who have already invested in the company’s products. Sonos, while succeeding in some areas of the Sonos App ground-up refresh; failed in others, such as app stability and feature retention. Thus, causing pain for many of its loyal customers. Replacing missing features is being addressed on a steady pace. However, IMO those should not concern a new buyer as quite frankly you can’t miss what you never experienced/had. The app overall performs as it should.  🙂Having said that there will be those that say missing features should concern a new investor in Sonos ge

Hello,I am asking since the release and I am not getting a reply. With the new software update “In house”  local music services like Airsonic/Subsonic or Bonob do not work anymore.Can I get a reply from a Sonos dev regarding these questions :Will it be supported again ? https://github.com/simojenki/bonob/issues/174 Will the search function work on these services ? https://github.com/simojenki/bonob/issues/163 Will you give the possibility to add a custom image on the service instead of a dotted square ? https://github.com/simojenki/bonob/issues/174 Bumpitybump.I was forced to update my speakers and factory reset them, and now I can’t add services on the Android 16.1 app and Bonob does not exist on version 80.Can I get a developer to answer these three questions PLEASE or are you basically forcing me to sell my Sonos stereo system ?Is there anyone at Sonos reading this except the censors in the name of the “Code of Conduct” ?Moderator edit: Combined posts

Hi - I have a simple Play 3 Speaker that was working just fine until the recent updates of Sonos APPI just have no better words but saying it works when it wants!!On a good day, I can use the app to switch on the device, select and reproduce what I want from Spotify Premium … after a while it keeps running with the app not seeing the system any longer … then they reconnect and so on …On a bad day, to listen to music I must ask my wife to sing me something !!I just spent an hour with a nice lady trying to help me: she made uninstall and reinstall the app; all worked fine ten minutes and then same story.Called the support number; was told I had 10 minutes wait time … been on for an hour now and losing hope.Not great experience, sorry to say!Have a good weekend 

I have had my two Sonos speakers for 3 or 4 months and the degree of dysfunction with constantly needing to reset is spectacular. The app is totally unreliable and unpredictable. Worked last night, this morning the system has vanished.  anyone have experience returning these speakers and what products do you recommend to replace?

What are the steps for adding new speaker location designations within my home? 

Since the change in the app I can’t group rooms with my two Sonos One. Pops out a message that say “imposible to connect. Try again later”

I’m currently going through the electrical phase of a new construction home, and it is an open floor concept with fairly high ceilings. I am wanting to do two in-wall speakers in the front one on each side of the TV, and two in-ceiling speakers in the back where the kitchen/island will be. The kitchen/island will be facing the living room area. Ideally I want to have all four speakers connected to the TV, but occasionally have just the two in-ceiling speakers play music when family/friends are over and surrounding the kitchen. Then I would also like to add a pair of outdoor speakers that I don’t necessarily mind if they are connected to the four indoor speakers. (I’m assuming this is best to have it’s own amp?) Edit:Should I separate the living room and kitchen/island speakers into two amps or keep them together into one amp?  Moderator Note - Combined posts.

Feature request:Bring back ability to control volume with iOS (iPhone, iPad) physical volume buttons.The removal of it is exceedingly aggravating.  The work around sucks. I will own 11 Sonos devices.  But I will buy no more as long as it works this way.  This situation is so poorly communicated and badly implemented that I am gone as a customer until you resolve this.

I’m so lost  I’m looking to fill a 700ish sf studio with music as well as wireless mic connection, could I buy a Sonos Connect and run 2 play 1s off of it, would it play both the mic and the music? Is there any other option? 

I have a Sonos Amp and beam in my living room and would like to add a speaker in my bedroom so music streams there is I move rooms. What wireless speaker do you recommend I add?

I know there are longer threads about the new app, but as this is a specific issue relating to Mixcloud I thought I would create a new topicSince the update the only feature that works in the Mixcloud service is ‘favourites’. None of the ‘following’, ‘followers’, ‘uploads’, ‘stream’ etc have any content (despite all of them being populated in my separate Mixcloud app) . These are critical parts of the service, which allows me to search for music and which were present in the previous version. I have tried removing the service, then re-adding it, but to no avail. Is anyone else having any issues? 

RadioPlayer service is not working (Italy) No content available message.The RadioPlayer App is working normally.Must be DNS related.The link for info point to www.radioplayerworldwide.com which is not the right one.It should be either radioplayer.org (worldwide) or radioplayeritalia.it (Italy)

On the new app, if you try to disable wifi on a wired device, such as an Arc or Sub, it will hang, crash, and then it may even say it's disabled. But then the device reboots and its back to enabled. When you do it from the old app, it properly disables the wifi. This is easily reproduced 100% of the time. Please do not respond with why you think wifi should be on - my entire system is wired and works perfectly wired. Anytime I add a new device, I have to dig up an old iPad with the old app on it to disable the wifi because the new app does not work.  Also, why doesn’t the Mac app or website have the features to disable wifi or add components? 

Hello, I have a sonos arc and I was thinking to buy another sonos equipment. What would you guys recommend 2 Sonos era 100 or Subwofer 3? Thanks!

I changed my router so I had to setup my speakers again.You force me to download your mobile app.You force me to update my speakers (Play1) for some reason (why do wireless speakers NEED updates to work?)Your force me to download you “Controller S2” app on my PC, because for some reason, the Controller S1 is no longer compatible WITH THE SAME SYSTEM I HAD FOR YEARS?!You say it will “update” my controller and transfer my previous settings. It did not update, I had to manually install your new S2 Controller.It did not transfer anything - all my playlists are GONE.I spent 20 minutes to setup the system I already had, you forced me to download a bunch of bullcrap I did not ask for and did not need claiming it was necessary AND you did not even transfer my playlists? Everything is just gone?And no doubt you guys will keep churning out new updates that I am FORCED to download because the speakers will just stop working altogether for some reason, even though the updates change absolutely not

Is it better to buy one Move 2 speaker or 2 Sonos Era 100 speakers. I use my Sonos’s at my home for indoor and outdoor use at the same time, and sometimes only inside or out.  

Hi, I have my Sonos set to stream music from my NAS drive. I created a playlist with over 5000 songs and had the ability to add, delete, edit and move music from streaming apps and my local drives. The following features I had are still missing from this latest update. Can someone from Sonos please provide a timeline as when these features will return? Album Artwork is not displayed for Android. It is for IOS.Only the Song & Artist is displayed, missing AlbumSwitching to queue goes to top of list, it needs to go to the song playingAbility to add, delete, edit, move songs in queue
