cant sign in to amazon when adding alexa

In the new app, I go all the way until it says signing in to Amazon. It stays there eternally. Tried everything. Deleted data, cache, restarted system, factory settings, etc. I can't pass that step to add Amazon Alexa to my speakers.

2nd hand Beam Gen2 can not get registered

Hey fellow Sonos fans!Got myself a 2nd gen Beam from someone on the web, was factory reset, connected it when home and started the process to add to my home system and it goes as far as adding it to a room but saying that it can't be used until it gets registered - which it continuously fails to do.Tried wifi, ethernet, no difference - actually no, there is a difference, when trying with ethernet, the chime with pin is not audible; when trying on wifi, it is but doesn't work. go figure - any help is appreciated as I'd hate to learn i got an expensive paper weight :(if this helps:Sonos OS: S2Version: 16.1.1 (build 78152020)Hardware Version: 1.35.1.6-2.1Series ID: A200Best,

found a workaround for the problem caused by new Sonos controller app when adding a new speaker

Trying to add a new speaker to an existing Sonos system doesn’t work with the new Sonos controller on iOS.There is a way to workaround this.Firstly, in the controller try to add the new speaker as usual.  You will get so far and the app will keep crashing.   You’re probably getting an error like this: Secondly, you need to go into the controller app and choose to transfer ownership of the system (settings/manage/transfer system ownership), putting in your account as both old and new owners. All speakers including the one that you tried to add unsuccessfully will now transfer to your account and work perfectly.

Playing Sonos Five and Sonos Move together

I have had a Sonos Five for a while, and I have recently purchased a Sonor Move ( not version 2).It should be possible to play them together, right? Not necessarily as a stereo pair, but to be able to play a song, and the audio comes out of both?I am able to play each of the speakers, but when I choose the speaker, and can check off for both and click “apply”, I get the message: “Unable to connect, try again later”.I have tried all these tricks: and I have also ensured that both speakers are connected to the same wifi router.  This is supposed to work, right? What am I missing?

RECENT UPDATE - UNABLE TO PLAY TV

So, at this point we're all more than aware of what an elementary update Sonos recently released, but one thing I haven't seen or heard mentioned is; are they going to bring back the TV function?!? I am having to go into my office and use the app on the Windows to switch from music to TV and beyond annoying at this point.... everything about this release was questionable and if they don't correct these issues, they're going to lose a lot of customers! Over it!

Adding Era 300 surround speakers to system

I am having trouble adding era 300 speakers to the system. I’ve reset them to factory settings a few times, but they appear as “Era 300 Not Registered” and “Fix it.” The Fix it tab doesn’t respond. When I try to “Add Speaker or Component” neither of the two speakers appear.

The new Sonos app is disappointing

I downloaded the new app and was excited to do so.  I got the new era100 speakers for Christmas and finally got around to setting them up. Well first, the new app would not authenticate with Apple Music which is my music service of choice. If Apple and Sonos are feuding, I'm finding another system. Second, when I try to select speakers in a certain room to play music, the app will not switch properly.  Sometimes it switches to the room I selected but then switches right back to the former room.  Sometimes it selects multiple rooms when that was not what I indicated.  Given the cost and track record of this technology, you all are really trying my patience as a customer.  I know you can do better because this was a phenomenal product for so long.  Now it’s like everything else, mediocre,  DO BETTER.

Cant use speaker because im “not the owner”

Trying to set up my Play:1 again. Signed into my account which has the Play:1 registered to it in the Sonos app. Can’t do anything now because the system owner has to sign in. I’ve used this speaker before but not in a few months. Sonos setup never goes smoothly.

issue registering Era 100

I’m having trouble registering my Era 100. I’ve had an existing account for years with multiple Sonos products, but have had issues registering the Era 100.  I’ve performed a factory reset each time after failing to register, only to be brought back to the same error message.  Any advice for potential registration?

sonos arc and lg smart tv - keeps reverting to internal speaker

I have followed The instructions noted below. In the Sonos app when I ran TV set up, it would not run. The Sonos arc connected to the TV.  However, when the tv is shut off, it reverts to the internal speaker.here are the steps I followedDisconnect everything from the TV including the Arc and unplug the TV and Arc from power for a couple of minutes. Then plug everything back in but keep everything disconnected. Enable Simplink on your TV, then run TV Setup in the Sonos app under the Arc’s settings. When the app instructs you to, connect the Arc to the TV’s HDMI ARC port using the Sonos-supplied HDMI cable. When the Arc has been successfully connected, connect any other device to the TV.is there another more reliable way to connect the sinks arc to the tv? Bluetooth? Optical?

Playlists completely broken with new app.

I searched the forum with no similar experiences. Am I the only one whose playlist editing disappeared with the new app? There isn’t even an Edit option anymore. I can’t add or delete individual songs for the current playlist. I can only replace the entire queue. It is the same for all music sources. This new version so far has done nothing better and many things much worse, this one  being the biggest for me so far. What gives? Anyone else experiencing this?
