alexa wont connect to sonos

After a power interruption Sonos won't respond to Alexa command. So I went to the Alexa app and disabled the Sonos skill.  Thereafter, I enable the skill. While my Alexa account get linked with Sonos, once the Alexa app looks for a device to connect, it cannot find my Sonos.  How do I fix this?   And when I tried to add Sonos voice, it does not fully install and I get a message that there was something wrong.  I checked the wifi connection and the Sonos app indicates the signal is excellent.  Now I do not have either voice command.

Connecting TV with arc, subwoofer and era300

Hi, I have a samsung smart TV with Sonos sound bar, Sonos subwoofer and era300. I can only link the soundbar and subwoofer or the subwoofer and era300, not all three at the same time.  I click on set up stereo pair and the set cup surrounds options but haven't been able to troubleshoot the issue. Do I require 2 of the era 300 speakers to work as surrounds/stero pairs? I was of the opinion I could have the TV with sound bar and subwoofer beneath it along with a era300 off to the rear side of seating area but perhaps this is not correct? Appreciate any assistance.

Sonos Boost trying to connect to Russian host

OK, so I just installed an Ubiquity Unifi network in my home and am blocking traffic to Russia, China and various other places/apps.  Today I noticed my Sonos Boost was trying to connect to 82.142.168.18 which is in Russia.  Obviously it could not connect but concerned that it is doing this.Anybody know why my boost would need to reach out to Russia??  Not very comfortable with the fact that it is attempting to communicate there.fyi I live in the US which is why I ask.IP lookup came up with this info: _____________________________Decimal:1385080850Hostname:82.142.168.18ASN:3216ISP:PJSC VimpelcomServices:None detectedAssignment:Likely Static IPCountry:Russian FederationState/Region:MoskvaCity:Moscow_____________________________Thank you in advance,Jeff

Flying with a Sonos Beam 2

Hi! I am interested in buying a Sonos Beam 2 abroad in Australia, as it has much better pricing than what's available locally where I am based. But of course the challenge will be getting it home on the plane. Ideally would handcarry this in it's packaging, but I think it's a little too long for carryon dimensions both boxed or unboxed. I think it should be able to fit in checked baggage for sure unboxed, but of course that eats up a lot of space. Has anyone actually tried transporting a Sonos Beam via plane before?

Sonos One (2nd Gen) installation fails

I have been a long time user of Sonos S1 products -- Connect.  After our move SWMBO demanded that wires be eliminated from the new home.  So I purchased a Sonos One Gen 2, knowing that I would either need to downgrade it to work on S1 or I’d have to set up a separate Sonos system. I won’t go into the headaches and failure to connect using S1.  I decided to go with a clean installation with the S2 model in hopes that this would work.  In preparation I (a) unplugged the three Connect devices, (b) removed the S1 controller from the iPhone, (c) logged into my Unifi wifi access points to convert them all to 2.4 ghz signal only, (d) powered down the entire system so that access points, router and modem were all shut down and hopefully clean, (e) downloaded S2 controller and (e) rebooted the entire mess.   S2 controller finds and configures the Sonos One Gen 2, but will not connect to my network with wifi.  Yes, I tried the password several times, including copying it from the password manage

Surround drivers angle in Arc

Does anyone know what’s the firing angle of the drivers that produce the virtual surrounds in the Arc? (the second and the one before the last one). I can’t get them to impact on the rear wall, so I’m suspecting the room might be too big, making them to impact on the side walls. If there’s a chart for this, it would really come in handy.Thanks for any input!

Could we get clarification on what ports are used for the source and destination from configure your firewall page?

Hi,I’m trying to setup a network firewall with multiple VLANs. I found the page telling us which ports that we need to open up for sonos to work with a firewall in place. Currently the page only tells us what port and protocol (TCP / UDP) that sonos uses.I would like to know the source and destination for the firewall rules. Could we get more clarification in a format that also tells us the reasoning, source, destination, port, and protocol? Possible example below:Music Services Source: Sonos Device Destination: Internet Port 80 and 443 Protocol: TCP Sonos App Control Source: Client (iOS, Android, Mac, etc...) Destination: Sonos Device Port: xxx Protocol: UDP Casting Music: Source: Sonos Device Destination: Client (iOS, Android, Mac, etc...) Port: 30000-65,535 Protocol: TCP  Reference to the page that lists all the ports that sonos uses:https://support.sonos.com/s/article/688?language=en_US

Roam Speaker WIGs OUT

Has anyone had a Roam Speaker emit a loud and disturbing sound that couldn’t be stopped unless the speaker is powered down?  It sounded like a giant amplified cicada was hovering above me.  Support had me power down and then up again.  It’s again playing as designed.  I’m told if it happens again, they will replace.  It was a very unpleasant experience.

impossible d'ajouter un titre deezer à une autre playlist existante

bonjour à tous ,je suis nouveau dans le monde sonos, utilisateur deezer depuis 13 ans,j’ai commencé par une sonos roam, histoire de tester avant d’équiper ma maison entière ( 10 one SL )je viens juste d’installer l’appli sonos, je suis surpris que l’on ne puisse pas ajouter un titre Deezer à l’une des mes nombreuses playlist existantes, j’ai seulement la possibilité d’ajouter un titre à “mes coups de cœurs “j’ai fait le meme constat sur Android auto il y a 4 ans, mais la je peux comprendre que c’est peut être pour  des raisons de sécurité routière ..est ce une volonté de sonos pour encourager les utilisateur  à basculer en doublon ces playlist Deezer, Spotify ou Amazon music sur l’environnement sonos ?est ce une politique de Deezer envers sonosen tout cas je trouve ça vraiment inconfortable, on se retrouve avec une playlist “coup de cœur “ qui sert de “fourre-tout” qu’il faut redispatcher dans un deuxième temps dans les différentes playlist Deezer .dans l’attente d’un retour éclairé su

Can't access my itunes library

I have submitted diagnostics 288056268I can no longer access my iTunes library or shared music folders currently stored on my Mac. Both my Play 1 speakers and the Mac controller are version 13.4.1 - all have been updated today to see if that was the issue. Firewall is set up correctly and it makes no difference whether the firewall is on or off. I tried to update the shared folder but received a 1002 error message. The mac controller has now been updating the music library for over an hour to no avail. Thanks in advance for your help!
