constantly having issues connecting to two separate networks

I have two separate Sonos networks, one at my house one on my boat. Every time I leave either one of these systems, I have issues connecting with them when I return. My house has a boost that I usually end up having to unplug and then plug back in for my system to work which I think is absolutely insane. My boat is the bigger issue, I don't have a boost on this network, I'm connecting two play 5's to a T-Mobile home internet wireless router.  I'm currently not able to connect to my network unless I unplug both speakers and plug them back in. Sometimes I even have to hold the button down to reset each one. Why is this a constant issue? I've tried other routers before and had the same issue. Should I just drop the speakers in the water and try another brand? So I've tried six times now to reset both speakers on this network and have been unable to do anything with them. Is this where I start my class action lawsuit?  Moderator edit: Combined posts

Yet another low with the latest release of the Sonon App

I was able to buy a couple of Sonos One and a soundbar why my company moved in a new location and was eager to make them play. I must add that I own a complete system at home and was very happy with it. The was is the key and everything said was before the f%”=)&?/(ç”(&g update the S2 App. I have applied a factory reset to the units and tried to build a new system. Then it quickly turned to a real nightmare.First of all, the Sonos App wants to know your exact location. Except of trying to get a maximum of data about you, I don’t see the point.Then the App was able to find the first Sonos One and tried to connect it to a WiFi network. So far so good but the WiFi network selected was not the one my smartphone was connected to.After many other iterations, I believe (absolutely not sure) my smartphone and the Sonos One were on the same WiFi network. Then came the update of the Sonos One since it was disconnected for about a year. The update was, guess what, unsuccessful …You can tr

Don't have any Sonos yet.. but would like to connect to my decks and amp wirelessly

Have a amp and cd player with decks in our dining room at the moment.. but would love a way to hear this in other rooms .. and replace the current alexa speakers ..  Is it possible to plug something in to my amp that will let me broadcast to a Sonos speaker? Sorry if this is non technical and clumsily written

Sonos OSX App (13.1) does not play "next" on any service

When I pick an album (Amazon music that I own), one of my Albums (linked to iTunes library), Spotify, or even Spotify’s “Made for Me” Daily Mix lists … Sonos only plays the first item over and over, never going to next. This is even though I pick “Play Now”.   has been going on for a few weeks (or longer?).  The only reliable music source I now have is Tune-in to a radio station, sadly.

i dont know what to buy

I am moving into a new home.  I would like a speaker out side-not wired in but would like to leave it outside.  Inside I would like a speaker in the kitchen, master bath, art room and living room.  Sometimes I will want them all playing at the same time and other times just in one area. What are your recommendations.  Thanks.

new s2 app

I have x2 Gen1 play 5’s, a play bar and  x2 gen 1 play 1’s.Since I tried to set up the S2 app I realised that the Gen1 5’s aren’t compatable. Now I can’t link all the speakers back together on the S1 app as they show as not compatible including the boost. Seems I can only access half the system at a time via either App, but not them all like I used to be able to do!I hope this isn’t permanent ??

The New App

Do not upgrade to the new app do not buy any Sonos equipment until the app is working again!!! SONOS - do the decent thing and stand up and apologise properly. No more of your silly Californian tech soundbites please.

Surround Sound mounts

Hey all! I’m wanting to remove some clutter and am thinking about mounting my one SL’s to the wall. I was curious if anyone had tinkered with some of the mounts. Ive been seeing people say really good things about the Flexon. I love the Sonos mounts due to the design and magnetic ball on the back. However the sanus mounts look for appealing as well. Anyone got any experience with one or both or all three?

true play doesn’t complete on ios after latest app upgrade

Can you provide a rollback please? My system has been rendered pretty much unusable now… not happy and a shame that it’s always the software that lets your epic hardware down…

Sonos app

I just updated to v 80.00.04 of the ios app and I can’t see any way to shuffle my entire music library. I can still do it from the desktop app and it will then work on the app but the queue comes up as empty and there appears to be no way to initiate a shuffle of the music library from the app.Am I missing something or is this somebody’s bright idea of an “improvement”?

HDMI ARC Question

I have an LG OLED55CXPUA  TV and I'm using the Beam as my audio device.  It works perfectly thru the ARC HDMI port of my TV.  However, I want to extract either optical or analog audio using a HDMI Audio extractor and feed the HDMI thru to the Beam.  However I can't get any audio thru to the Beam or out of the optical or analog outputs.  Does anyone know a brand or model of an extractor that will work?  thks/Roger

Latest Sonos iOS App doesn't recognise my 10yo speakers

Hardware approx 10 years old, running the S2 OS. The old app works absolutely fine but the “new Improved” app on either the iphone or iPad refuses to recognise any of them. Luckily my better half has not updated this awful app on her devices or she’d be marching straight to Sonos HQ. For now, having to control every speaker in the household via her device(s) or via a Windows laptop. Sonos should get the team that tested this application to issue a grovelling apology to everyone affected and sort this one out asap.

Controller not working

All of a sudden my controller on my iPhone as well as my pc do not control my sonos system . I have unplugged  all 9 sonos products, rebooted so many times and it still is working intermittently if at all. It is getting frustrating. Do you have a solution?

Is it Sonos or Spotify?

I am sure similar issues have been answered but I would like to throw a line out anyway.I am currently traveling and have someone staying at my place where I have a Sonos home theatre system installed. Yesterday I was playing music on my Sonos roam I travel with through the Spotify app on my phone and noticed that the music kept stopping randomly (I was using Bluetooth).During the same period, I got a message from the person staying at my place saying that the Sonos System keeps stopping and skipping ant random intervals. They were playing from their own source and not using Spotify from within the Sonos app.Due to the timing of both these isolated issues, I ask myself: “Is this coincidental or is there more to this?”Could it be Spotify somehow causing the issue?Is it interference? Am I going crazy?help.

Surround Sound with only ceiling speakers

I have three sets of ceiling speakers and each set have their own Sonos Amp.The first amp has the HDMI Arc coming from the TV and is connected to the front speakers near the TV.The second amp is connected to the rear speakers. I want these speakers to carry the surround sound.The third amp is connected to the outdoor speakers. Occasionally I want to use them to carry the same TV signal as the first amp. This would allow watching 2 TVs but the sound would be in synch with the living room TV.How do I configure this with the app?

s1 app - forcing to s2

Nearly all setting are greyed out in my s1 app I use. I have a pc connected to a gen 1 Connect and two new Play Ones. I have this working via my Tablet which only has the S1 app installed. On my phone with both apps the S1 app just tells me sod you, open s2. Audio kit should last longer than this Sonos. It’s pricey stuff. Support your customers maybe.
