IKEA Symfonisk- Spotify not in S2

Hi there, we bought an IKEA Symfonisk wall speaker and it looks and sounds great. However, neither myself (android) nor my wife (IOS) can find Spotify in S2. We rebooted everything, changed networks, reinstalled apps, but nothing. It is nowhere to be found in the list of services in S2. My wife managed to connect Spotify with the speaker once without S2. Only once however. My Spotify sees the speaker but cannot connect to it. Keeps flashing and saying connecting... Anyone with a similar challenge or experience to help? BestAnestis

Sonos devices dropping out/app disconnecting. All devices answer to ping all the time.

Hi,I have issues with my Sonos products getting disconnected - they show up as disconnected in the app. Sometimes the app fails to detect the Sonos system at all. After rebooting the speakers it runs fine for a day or so until the problems start again. I always thought this might be due to bad wifi because I was living in a small apartment in a big city and there wasn’t much I could do about wireless interference. However, I recently moved into my own house, updated all ethernet and wifi infrastructure - yet I still have these issues. The weird thing is that other devices on the same network run totally fine (streaming Netflix, etc.) and I do get a ping reply from all Sonos speakers all the time - so there are no “real” network disconnects/STP problems, etc. I used to have the same SSID for 2,4Ghz and 5Ghz Wifi, but recently splitted it, giving the 5Ghz a new name. I moved all my speakers into the new Wifi - I can tell from the router that they are connected to the correct SSID and the

Sonos & Starlink Issues. Sonos told me to replace ALL my speakers

First, thanks again to all the folks that have helped me in the past.  I’m looking to re-group after hours spent trying different things.  I will try to provide all the detail I can and apologies for length.  I built a house about 4 years ago.  The a/v guy I hired introduced me to Sonos and I bought a lot of new equipment.   I have a media cabinet in the first floor where he ran a bunch of wired speakers to different Connect Amps for different locations. I have a Unifi set up with a managed switch in that same closet.  Also in that same closet is a Unifi access point.  In total I have:-7 Connect Amps (6 of them in that same closet; 1 is in a garage feeding some outdoor wired speakers)-2 Playbars-9 Sonos One Speakers-3 Sonos Sub-woofersWe have a house that is about 6k to 6,500 square feet.  Three levels.  Outdoor area we are trying to cover.  We live almost smack dab in the middle of 150 acres.  No one around us, so no outside interference.  Just whatever is in the house/garage. We have

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.

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!
