Sonos play 5 blinking red light

Hi folks!!! I’ve seen a few topics about this but I wonder if someone has figured out how to fix the blinking red light.I have two Sonos Play 5 gen 1 that I bought used. They were working fine until one lost connection. I’ve tried to factory reset it by disconnecting the cable, pressing and holding the mute and volume + buttons while connecting the power cable back. Nothing worked. Once I plug the power cable back in, the white light comes on followed by a flashing red light in a pattern. It blinks 3 times, pauses and blinks 6 times, repeating this pattern. I’ve seen some folk sharing the same problem online and managing to reset their speakers, but I have not had any luck. Is there anything else I can do besides what’s suggested online? I have a feeling that it’s going to be a fancy paperweight.

Network Loop with 2 speakers connected by Ethernet

I’ve had a Beam Gen 2 for a while now, which is connected to my Network by Ethernet on Router 1 and haven’t had any problems.The problem started when I bought a second Beam Gen 2 and tried to connect that to my network via Ethernet to Router 2.  As soon as I connect the Ethernet cable, the network becomes unstable, devices keep dropping out and everything has really slow Internet connection.  I thought it was the new router (Router 2) that I had bought, but the Asus tech support said it was a device on my network creating a loop.  Sure enough, as soon as I unplug the second speaker, the loop stops and everything starts working again.I have successfully set the system up with the second speaker connected through wi-fi and I have no issues.  I want to set the second speaker up via Ethernet so it doesn’t hog the wi-fi bandwidth for my other devices when streaming.Another weird thing, is when the second speaker is connected through wi-fi, when I look at the connection to it on my Network G

Sonos app update query

Since the latest app update, when I go into settings & turn my sub off it doesn’t stay off. When I come back to play music etc, the sub is on again without me turning it back on. There seems to be no point in having the option to turn the sub off if the system turns it back on the next time you use the system.My daughter uses our setup when we’re out, via bluetootth from Spotify, & I don’t want her annoying the neighbours with the volume & sub, so I turned the sub off via the previous app version. Now I cannot do this since the app update. How can I get the sub to stay off when selected off?

Sonos app error with Anghami music

I have been using Sonos app for two years without any issues in accessing my music services while connected to my Sonos Move. However, soon as i updated to the new App i lost ability to play Anghami service. I keep getting “something went wrong. Try again.” I tried everything to troubleshoot (downloading Sonos App to another device, deleting it, deleting Anghami service and re-authorizing it, and connecting to another network), but nothing worked. I still can’t use the Anghami app in Sonos App. Its bizarre because other services work just fine (youtube…) but not Anghami which is the only reason why i have been using Sonos App in the first place. Welcome any advice to resolve this issue.

Trying to set up a new Symfonisk to an existing network, and it won't finalize the connection. Any ideas or suggestions?

Just got a new Symfonisk and trying to connect it to my system. Currently have a Playbar + Sub set up in a TV room and a Five in the the living room. Have been going through the new app to set up the Symfonisk and have tried almost everything. Have had it do the chimes, though won’t finalize. Have typed the device number after that, which always fails. Have connected to the router via Ethernet directly, using a new connection and even using the ethernet cable I have set up with the Playbar. All fails. I’m ready to smash this thing out of frustration and the small satisfaction I may get. This is truly horrible, and Sonos Support gives me a bot that only repeats itself with no actual solutions/suggestions and a phone number that has an 80minute wait. Really hoping someone has a suggestion or maybe has gone through similar and had success.

Is it just me, or is there no way to set alarms in the new app?

I always use my Sonos one as a alarm to get up in the morning, it’s the only reason I bought the thing. And I absolutely hate that they removed alarms in the new app. Please bring them back as soon as possible.

lack of intelligent tech support at Sonos

The tech support chat line is pretty much useless. Almost as much as the live agents.

Lossless on group of old and new products

Is there a technical reason why when streaming to a group that contains a Sonos 5 and Play:3 that Lossless is removed for both vs streaming lossless just on the 5. I get that maybe the Play:3 can’t support it but I’ve already successfully streaming lossless on the 5. Would be nice to still support it in the group.

Five on network but won’t play.

Neither of my Five speakers will play? I see them in the system and my One and Arc play individually and together but the pair of Fives will not. The app automatically switches away from the Fives. I’ve tried unplugging and resetting. I see them on my network but can’t get them to play anything. Any advice? Thank you.

Can’t Add Play:1 to my account

Hi,I searched around, and googled the error messages I have, but am having no luck.  Perhaps as this is an older device, the answers are harder to find.  Anyway, see if anyone can help…I recently moved and setting up a Play:1 in my new home. All other Sonos speakers set up correctly, except this Play:1. I did a hardware reset. Still setup failed. I did a hardware reset in the end. Still setup failed.  The error message says "There was a problem linking your Play:1 to your account", no reason or details given for fail. I logged out of Sonos app and logged back in.  Have u plugged the device and did a reset.  Nothing works. The Play:1 is shown in System/Products as "Not registered". Now when I hit the “Fix it” link it jumps to “Let’s finish adding your Play:1 to your system”.  When I hit the “Continue” link, the Sonos app crashes.  I have to reopen the app.  I try same and it crashes.  At this point I cannot move forward with trying to register the Play:1 to my account.

Sonos, Do you acknowledge that the TruePlay in new Sonos App ver. 80.00.08 is not working.

Sonos,I switched my complete system BOSE 900 Ultra to your product to Arc, 2 Era 300 and 2 Sub Gen3 knowing that you guys deliver a quality product but with this new update of your application, it sounds like BOSE deliver more quality and much better sound.  I see a lot of open discussion about the current issue and I don’t see any of your representative from your technical groups acknowledging that this is a problem and even in your known issue’s site the TruePlay is not even mentioned, just so you know not only TruePlay is not working even the toggle On/Off of Sub is also not working.  How come in your upper department or executive level be able to approve such a release of half-baked software.  You guys need to respond and address this issue.

Latest SONOS update broke my systems ability to stream my music librabry.

The latest SONOS updates removed my local music library and now I get Error code 913 when I attempt to add it back. The worst thing thing is that I am trying to update my music library using exactly the same C: drive location that was working just a month before. **** SONOS Support ****I love the SONOS hardware that you build. I find the sounds quality excellent.  I also feel I’ve paid a premium for the SONOS devices that I have purchased over the years. What makes me want to consider selling all of my SONOS devices is...your software updates. More often than not, the SONOS software updates seem to break existing functionality.  I really struggle to understand why the SONOS team continues to release software updates that break existing functionality.  Do you not understand what Q&A Testing means?? I now have to wait until June to get this functionality, that I’ve always had, back. This issue was caused by a mistake by the SONOS team.  What’s the SONOS teams plan on compensating exi

Line Pop Noise

Hi,When switching off an external audio device that is connected with the Line In (Sonos Five Gen2), the speaker responds with a pop noise which is not for the driver, I guess. Is there any way to avoid that except switching off the Sonos?Thanks and BR,SampleBricks
