Ordered a mini subwoofer on Saturday 15th July and was expecting delivery on Tuesday 18th July. Got an email from DHL saying it was delivered, upon checking the photo proof of delivery it showed it was left by the door of some random house… I immediately contacted DHL to let them know that they didn’t deliver to the right address.. Ive contacted DHL multiple times since to understand the situation and to give me updates on my order… I’m hoping it hasn’t been sitting outside some random persons house in the rain honestly or was even opened by the person…Yesterday DHL couldn't contact the courier and today they said they couldn't contact the local depot… I’ve since racked up a hefty bill of 15 pounds trying to gather updates on the situation with DHL and being put on hold etc… Is this something I can even try to claim back from Sonos? (I’ve also mailed sonos about not receiving my package and I’ve not heard anything back apart from a generic we will investigate) Frustrated is an understa

Help!!! I’ve never owned a Sonos product and I was excited to splurge and by my husband a Sonos Roam for Father’s Day ( 6/18/23). I placed by order on June 4th. One of the reason I chose Sonos is because they guaranteed delivery by Father’s Day!!! On June 7th I got a notification that the order shipped. Then on June 10th, FedEx tracking said the delivery date was pending. It stayed pending until June 14th, when I called Sonos. I have since called Sonos 5 TIMES and they have told me multiple times that they lost my order and are working on reinstating it. On Friday 6/16 they said they would overnight it so I would have it by Sunday. Then, I mysteriously got an email from FedEx saying my package was delivered on 6/10 (which didn’t happen). Today, Monday (6/19), it has still not arrived. I called Sonos AGAIN and they said it hasn’t even been through the replacement process yet and that I’ll “hopefully” have it by Wednesday 6/21/23. Since last Wednesday, different agents have told me my ca

When watching a game (football, basketball, etc) I find myself switching to music during commercials so I don’t have to listen to them since they tend to come on louder than the game to grab your attention (using the Sonos arc). It would be great to have a feature to quickly switch between your last music selection and the TV audio.  

Anyone have an issue claiming their free Sonos Beam mount after following the promo code instructions in the box?  I just got tagged for $49.00 after the instructions stated that the item was going to be free of charge.  I contacted Sonos about the issue and I’m still waiting on a response.  Not good customer service thus far!

Hi , open reach engineer came out yesterday to replace our old router with new super fast fibre optic broadband, 2 Eero routers now in the house 1 wired off the Ethernet cable the other in the kitchen is linked to it.however we have Sonos devices sound bar sub woofer and new play bar in another room plus a play upstairs , none of them are connected to the Sonos app account and none of them especially the sub will connect to WiFi , we tried for hours last night to connect , I found this forum and this morning changed the settings on the Eero to bridge , still didn’t find any Sonos products but then the smart tv would connect to the internet either , before I made the changes this morning, they had previously connected fine , now I have no idea how to move this forward . sound bar and sub are almost 5 years old , not sure what gen they would be as I, m not that technically minded …. please help 

I have sonos port and two pices of sonos One. I can make them play in group of two and it does´t mater what combination I use either port+one or one+one or one+port and it all works. When ever I try to add third device into group of two then the third device plays sound for 1 second and then stays silent while other two sonos devices keep playing. Any idea whats wrong with my setup?thank you 

Is it possible to provide a list of Sonos Authorized showroom / Dealer in Schenzen Countries ?

I’d like to suggest either one or two features depending on the need. For those of us who may have open concept kitchen/living room, I feel we need different requirements. Having such a big space can call for more than one tuning session. I’d like to suggest a few things.A tuning method for open space areas. This may require a TruePlay tuning for music and separate one for movies if you have a home theater setup. Balancing for the couch then walking around the kitchen are 2 different areas with different needs. They may be a need for 2 different tunings depending on the output source in that room.  A true play instructional video or explanation for A. An open space living room B. A home the theater setup vs. a single speaker or stereo setup.  The suggest TruePlay instructional video explains that you should “walk around the room” which is pretty vague. The woman is walking around the room that has 1 speaker in it. This is different for us with 2.1, 5.2, Atmos, etc. This video should ha

I’ve have had SONOS on my 3 houses since 2008.  Today I had an experience that makes me wonder if your system is worth the effort anymore. My daughter was using my legacy S1 system and was prompted to upgrade to S2.  Not knowing any better she said yes.  Now none of my devices work.I spent 3 to 4 days tracking down someone from sonos to help, then another +/- 4 hours working with the support to downgrade.How dare Sonos make is so easy to make such a difficult thing to undo happen How dare Sonos allow your chat assistant to tell me to call the agents to get help from them when she damn will knew they weren’t open in Canada How dare Sonos not have your agents available on the weekends in Canada How dare Sonos expect me to spend my time doing this when you could have easily written code to prevent this from happening.  How dare Sonos let me make such an extensive investment in your devices to have you willynilly decide not properly to support them, and finally How dare you let me know tod

I recently splurged on a Sonos sub, arc, and 2x era 300s setup for the best Dolby atmos music and movie experience.Using just the Era 300s + sub gives the best music experience. The moment I add the arc, the eras use the surround profile, where they don’t use all their speakers. This provides a much worse listening experience. I do not want to have to reset up the eras and sub each time I’m switching from listening to music to watching a movie. I imagine there are a couple different ways to fix this issue, but being to change the surrounds profile manually from music to movie seems the easiest to me.

I’m on a Mac running Monterey and still using Sonos 1 speakers, which I’ve had for years. Yesterday I upgraded the app (Sonos1 - not Sonos 2) to 11.9 and after adding some music to my library, Sonos would not index my music folder (on a external USB).I spend 20+ minutes on chat with “tech support” who could not find an issue, even after my sending them a diagnostic report.Long story short - if your having this issue, go into your System preferences, select the Full disk access folder in the left column, scroll thru the list and make sure  SonosLibraryServer - is turned on.For some reason it appears to get installed, but not turned on. Even after giving Sonos system permissions whenever I was prompted, that particular portion of the app still needed to be checked on manually. Once I did that, the issue was solved.Hope this helps anyone that might be having a similar music indexing issue.

How do I get rid of old and outdated Sonos products?  Ideas please?

Like wth?? I don’t want to stream in your walled garden SONOS. I want to listen to what I want when I want. 

I know some aspects of this topic have already been discussed, however if sonos keeps reading them who knows they may actually make software so full Android functionality can be integrated into all sonos products 😀 I have been told the new era 100 + 300 products do now have Android integration and allows sonos room sound correction software analysis the room and this optimization of these products,can  sonos not issue an software update to their older products to allow Android functionality? Also I would like sonos to allow amazon unlimited subscribers to be able to nativity use sonos products through the amazon music app thus giving amazon music uses fun functionality in what and how they play their music via sonos products come on sonos you can do it and finally I hope when sonos release the ARC 2 soundbar they give Android integrated as they do for the era 100 + 200 and also includes Two 2.1 HDMI connectors to allow connection to the TV and a Blu-Ray player or a PS5 Xbox x 

Hello to all,I have sent back 2 ERA 100 before the 100 days trial....and they have deduced 28€ as "surcharge"…Why???Wasn't it free???

This may by common knowledge but I wanted to share, so I use EERO for wireless in my home ( 3 unit mesh) and I’ll been having Sonos disconnect/ missing device issues..11 device system.. at random something is gone.. then back..  utterly annoying… managed to see a note somewhere to plug a single Sonos unit via Ethernet cable into the primary EERO unit, in my case right near the cable modem, super easy, follow by turning off wireless on that one speaker, 3 weeks later I haven’t had one issue since, no drop outs… no missing speakers… no app lockups .. again this my be we’ll known but this simple solve turned around my system, I hope it does the same for you.   -Todd   

Platform: iOSWe use Sonos a lot to play audiobooks for our children. One hurdle here is that the beginning of many books in a series is the exact same. That makes it really hard to know what search result to choose, because the full name is concatenated. We would really like that the text of each search result row is scrolled sideways so that you can read the full name of the track. One alternative solution is to have the screen rotate when the phone is rotated. Then there would be more space for the name of the track. But that is something everybody would not understad they could do. Scrolling would be automatic for long titles and everybody would see it immediately.

I am moving and leaving Sono’s amplifiers and a sonos sound bar with the new owners, I need to remove them from my system, Do I need to call support with the serial numbers and they can remove or can I remove within the App.  :Thank youBob

I discovered that I cannot use my android music library due to a new version of the sonos app.I consider this as a severe regression of the service I had from Sonos and will certainly change my audio system. A real shame !!!

From investigative journalist Brian Krebs:Little Snitch reported today that Sonos tried to connect to a domain called tmp.sonoschina.com. I can't find much information about this domain, other than it is China-based but is out of a US ARIN IP block. This is the first time I've seen something like that from Sonos. I said no thanks. I get that the hardware is made an assembled there, but this makes me worry maybe the data's going there, too. A screenshot of the Little Snitch firewall for Mac OS asking whether to allow Sonos to connect to sonoschina.com.https://infosec.exchange/@briankrebs/109932539931470329  

I have a playbar, sub and play 3. I realize they are older products; however, who is as dissatisfied as me with regards to the abandonment of legacy products?  Clearly Sonos is no longer a premium brand.  Has anyone been able to get a satisfactory solution from Sonos?

Hi I am running a Stero pair of Sonos 5 and the sub and want to pair up a turntable , can any one suggest the WIFI connected turntable that I may look at which would connect and play without the RCA cables.Need to connect over wifi please

I am returning a Roam as I decided to upgrade to a Move. I received my returns label, commercial invoice and instructions - all good. Arranged with UPS to collect my parcel and waited in. No show. So I took the parcel, with the 3 invoices to a drop off a couple of days ago. Today it got delivered back to me. I spoke to UPS and they stated it would be collected today. No show.Can you see a theme developing? Also:With the exact same issue.Can anyone offer any advice? UPS & Sonos Customer Service have both been useless. The problem with this process is that I can never prove that I handed over the commercial invoices and it just keeps on getting sent back to me.

Morning all,I am trying to send a broken playbar back to Poland for a 30% discount code on a replacement.I printed out the forms sent to me by Ivytech. These were a shipping label and 3 waybills.DHL refused to collect as there were no commercial invoices.I spoke to Valerian, a member of the Sonos escalation team, who promised me the invoices would be sent to me.No communication or invoices have been sent since.Has anyone else had this problem? Valerian told me it was the first time he had ever heard that commercial invoices were required.Philip
