Locking Apple Music or any other music service

Hello, I’m looking for a way to lock my Apple Music account with a password so no one else on the Sonos account can use it. The issue isn’t people on the account but people on my personal Apple Music. Is there a way to password protect personal music streaming accounts?

Please add a native Apple:TV App

Hi Sonos Team,please create a native Apple:TV (maybe also for Android TV) which displays current album art, song, musician and potentially other information for a selected audio zone as well as basic controls (volume control, next song, etc.).Thanks

sonos roam malfunction

Has anyone experienced the same thing? Our roam was connected to the mains and playing music when it suddenly disconnected and for the last 40 mins or so has been emitting a really really loud noise like a helicopter. We can’t turn it off, have disconnected it from the mains and tried all the options to turn it off. It is now over heating and we have had to put it outside. ( and in a box due to how loud it is). We have had it less than 1 week. We will return it but am just hoping the noise stops so we can take it out of the box, and that it doesn't catch fire first!

barely any sound from AMP ceiling speakers when paired with Arc

I’m fully-committed to Sonos and very happy with the products for the most part. One thing that’s driving me nuts is how little sound comes out of the ceiling speakers when playing music.  I have Sonos brand ceiling speakers, AMP, Arc, Sub in my living room and when I play music, I can’t hear anything coming from the ceiling speakers. If I unpaid them, the sound is great.  They’re in Full Mode and cranked up to 15 in settings.  any suggestions?

Pairing Sonos One SL and Arc

I currently have the Sonos Arc hooked up to my TV and I would like to add two additional Sonos One SL to have surround sound system. I do also have Sonos Amp present in the house for outdoor speakers, but that’s not related to the TV room set up I am trying to accomplish. When clicking on the Arc within the Sonos app and pressing surround sound, the only option that comes up is to pair it to the Amp.  How do I just connect the two Sonos One SL which I current have paired to gather to the Arc to play the TV? I have also created a group but that only works for music and still more manual that I thought it should be. I play music, it first plays on the two that are paired and then I press the group I created and all three speakers play together.

Roam in a steambath

Can I use my Roam in a steam shower? I’m a wheelchair user and am having a roll-in shower built equipped with a steam-bath. I would of course place the speaker opposite of the steam nozzle. I’ve used cheaper Bluetooth speakers designed for the shower in the past and they worked OK. One speaker’s  suction cup released, it fell and stopped working. The other speaker was just not worth listening to. My original idea was to use the Roam in the shower to make a phone call in case of an emergency as I would with the Google Mini. That option is not available. I haven't really used the Roam in my present shower. It is equipped with a steam-bath but, s too small to steam in for a long period of time.  Regular exposure to steam might be asking too much. thanks

how to replace traditional home theatre with Sonos

I have a very basic, traditional surround setup in my basement. My Tv is wall mounted with a single HDMI out from the A/V receiver to the TV hidden in the walls so no wires exposed.  My gear is all sitting in a cabinet beneath the TV. My back speakers no longer work and I’m unclear if it’s a wiring problem or because my old Denon amplifier is failing. Replacing wires is a non-starter, and if I have to replace the amp I’m thinking maybe I just go wireless. I have lots of Sonos speakers all around my house and they’re great, so I understand how Sonos works but I’m confused about what I would need to buy or if it will even work.Currently, I have 4 components (Cable, Apple TV, Western Digital Media Player, Wii) connected to my home theatre receiver and a universal remote that controls the receiver input to switch the audio and video on the TV.  The amplifier is a Pioneer VSX-1019AH.  TV is an LG NANO86UNA (55 inch) that supports Dolby ATMOS and eArc.  Simple….Question is: how do I replace

Sonos Setup

Good afternoon,I want to make sure i set up the sonos properly. Help would be appreciated.I want to set up 6 in ceiling speakers to be used for music (2 of which will be in the living room in the rear)My questions are as follows:Will I need more than one amp? Can i use optimal cable to connect these to amp or is RCA preferable? If so, which brand is best; I want to use the 2 in the living room for surround in the future- is it possible to do this? I want to be able to use it for surround when i want and for music with paired with the other speakers when i want to. How can i do this?Thank you so much!

Denon Receiver with Sonos + IKEA Symfonisk

Hi,I wonder if my wished setup is viable. it should look like this: Denon AVR-X4100W receiver with 2 B&W front speakers + SONOS ARC (as a central front speaker) and 2 IKEA Symfonisk as back surround speakers + SONOS subwoofer 3 genI own all of these elements today. What I am trying to do is to use all the best elements I have of 2 currently separate setups. It might feel strange, but it’s part of a “re-use with low cost” approach..I guess you could say that I have a basic starting point with a receiver and 2 “normal non-wifi speakers” and would like to add 4 SONOS components: ARC, subwoofer and 2 Symfonisks. but to secure they will actually work as a 5.1 system Any help would be deeply appreciated

Spotify songs stop playing, or skip, and losses connection to playbar

About a few months ago my Spotify stopped playing songs 30 seconds into playing then on my wireless Sonos Playbar home theatre setup. It would also skip songs, and sometimes out of the blue it would start playing another song without any input from me, all using the Spotify App on my iphone. I researched many threads online and even contacted Spotify. I tried alot of the suggestions provided to no avail. Then I tried the Spotify App on my smart TV and it worked flawlessly. So why doesn’t the Spotify App work on my iphone?This got me wondering why. Then I read that Sonos only uses the 2.4 ghz wireless band and not the 5 ghz band. So I checked the wifi connection on my iphone and it was connected via the 5 ghz band. So I changed my iphone wifi to the 2.4 ghz band and now Spotify works flawlessly again. At least for the last week or so. I thought I would relay this to others with similar problems. Good luck.

unresolved stutter

Why is Sonos not able to address all the stuttering issues? Stutter started on my Sonos a few months ago. It never happened before. Suddenly it happens intermittently in all movies. Some times it’s very bad sometimes it’s for brief periods.  i thought it was the streaming on my LGTV. On chance I started reading in Sonos and realized that there seems to be no resolution on why it happens just that people have to submit their diagnostics.  So what exactly causes these stuttering issues?

Initial "updating music library" fails.

Brand new NAS drive, 3800 tracks, Sonos fails the initial update after about 10 minutes, saying the drive is no longer available. Except it is, to any other device on the network. Permissions are wide open.Not sure where to even start with this...

Amazon Music Search not working on Desktop S2 14.2

I have been using Sonos Desktop to play my stereo enabled Roams since Alexa just keeps telling me to get the skill I already have :). Now I have a problem using Sonos desktop to search music. Nothing is coming up at all except for “my music” that’s on the PC - none of the subscription tracks are showing at all. I saw this in a few dated threads but never saw a solution. My Sonos S2 desktop app was recently updated a week or so ago. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem or has a solution. (And other services are fine on the desktop app, and I can see my amazon music subscription fine from my iphone)

surround system for music

Hi! My Sonos setup is a beam (gen 2)+ sub and two play5 as surrounds. This works great for both surround system and music, as the surrounds create a stereo pair. I can turn up music volume for the surrounds, which gives me the most use of my system i feel. However, I wish I could turn up the sub volume for music, or turn the beam down/off for music use. I feel it ruining my listening experience with my play5s. To sum up: I wish i could use surrounds/play5s with sub for music, without the beam. I want this option in my sonos app 🤩

Comparison between Arc and Playbase

Hi folks,Thought I would post some observations I had between the Arc and Playbase in case it would be of help to anyone. Obviously these are my own opinions, others may differ I bought the Playbase a few years ago, about 6 months before it was discontinued. That didn’t feel too great, but it’s still a nice piece of kit and looks great so I stuck with it.I’ve always had a gen2 sub and 2xPlay1s connected to the PB. At various times I have thought it was lacking somewhat in terms of presenting a “full” soundstage from the front of the room. The sub and surrounds do mask that a bit; if I turned off the sub/surrounds in the app (not unpaired) the PB sounded underwhelming. It had been Truplayed at this stage. So I eventually decided it was time for the Arc, and isn’t it a nice piece of kit!I’ve been trying all sorts of side by side comparisons but the first, with the Arc and PB unpaired from any subs/surrounds, the results were surprising. The Playbase, although a narrower soundstage did ha
