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  

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.   

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?

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  

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.

Hi, I have updated to the latest version and now the app I cannot contact to my network anymore. I managed 1 time after I disconnected/ connected from electric. Does anyone have the same problem? What can a solution be ? br/ Johan

I have the latest new app updates and firmware.This problem has existed in the old versions.My rooms are set to specific volumes however the alarm function resets them all the same as the primary room each morning when I wake up.  I have to manually tweak each one, every...single...morning.Can this please be looked at and considered for a fix.Thank you.

Hi, I was having trouble controlling the Playbar unless I was within a couple of feet. If I sat down on the couch, approx 10’, playbar would not respond to remote. I went thru the process of adding a universal remote. When you get to the option of “did it power on” select No, it will then try a 2nd code, select “yes”. All good, can control from anywhere in the room now

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.

I've spent a ridiculous amount of money and now I can't even get a single speaker to run its own music. Seriously 😠 frustrated. 

Hello, I own 2 Era 300 and want to complete with the Move 2 - ca you built a multi room via WiFi with the 3 of them ? 

The subwoofer Gen 3 was made to work or is just a pease of decoration? I am trying to connect this pease of decoration for two days already and nothing works.. 

Hello,there are so much dis-mal-functions with the new mobile app. It seems you have no date for publishing a fixed release. True ?Could you please put the S2 release into stores ?Thx

Want to queue albums or tracks, play next or add to end of queue or just play top tracks for an artist... JUST CANT DO ANY OF ITAlso with volume please bring back digits as well as slider, lots of us have a sweet spot depending on what we're doing while listening. Did none of this come up with beta testing. Major fail SonoS!

I have the original S1 Sonos setup with 8 speakers.  All but one are variable volume.  I have a Play 5 that is fixed.  I have other Play 5 speakers which are variable.  How do I change the 1 fixed volume speaker to variable?  Thanks for any insights.

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.

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.

“The Sonos app is redesigned and better than ever. Get the latest update now.”Yes, that’s honestly the banner at the top of this page:Sonos liesHilarious Sonos - let me rewrite that banner for you:The Sonos app is redesigned and worse than ever. Get the latest update now if you want to lose a lot of functionality and really regret doing it.Looks like their headphones will be released this week and I won’t be throwing good money after bad - a boycott might remind them who pays their wages.

For those (geek, advanced android user) who want comfort and not wait for the return of this function, with Android only and luck, you can use the much missed Macronos application (His dev should have been hired by Sonos...).But you have to find the apk on an alternative store.Afterwards it's quite intuitive.And there are many other features, such as quickly launching a favorite on a speaker or a group of speakers.Macronos has still been working as well for years even though this App is no longer supported. Oh thank you very much!By the way, another feature that is really missing and which does not appear much as feedback is the control via the notification bar and the lock screen.Having to systematically open the app to adjust the volume or stop the music is simply a nightmare!It is urgent need to restore this control!  

Has anyone experienced the same problem that the roam will not connect to any other speakers in group? It will only play individually.all other speakers in my house can group, but this problem has now only came around since the update  

App randomly tells me no products are connected, makes it's own decisions when to increase or decrease volume, and at the moment tells me Abba is playing although I know 100% it's Black Sabbath!How can I go back to the previous version.?Not running a large or confusing system - 4x1's, 1x3, 1xconnect. 

How frustrating. I spent all day trying to get Sonos to connect to my iTunes library (music folder).  End result, I had to turn on file sharing, but my MAC would not allow me to do so. sTo get around that I opened terminal and did it manually via command line - sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.smbd.plistwhile you have terminal open type whoami to see the name you are logged in with and use that when prompted for user name and passwordso go back into system preferences-sharing and be sure file sharing is now turned on from manually turning on in terminal... be sure you click on the music folder and click options and make sure to check the box for “share files and folders using SMB now go back to Sonos app on your MAC and manage - Music Library Settings - and click the plus sign under the empty box to add location of your music. Choose the last option (network device or NAS drive). Here is where you need to put your \\computer name\location of your music and

Thanks for making the app such that I can’t even run it on my preferred old devices (and killing the old S2 app, which worked on everything in my house).  Not everyone wants to buy a new phone every year.  The last thing I expect is for my stereo system to essentially be useless because I can’t run the app anymore, especially from things like an old iPod touch (which I keep using for music).  I expect these things to work for more than three years.  Apparently, you don’t (at least on the software side).
