Setting up Sonos One

I acquired four Sonos Ones from a friend. I performed a factory reset and was able to carry out a software update. When trying to add them to my system I am able to connect to the speaker, but they do not emit an audible tone to finalise the installation. They also will not connect by the alternative method of pressing one of the buttons. Any ideas?

revenir à l'ancienne version

La nouvelle appli est une catastrophe. Elle crée un décalage du son entre mes équipements. Il faut corriger cette appli très rapidement ou décider de revenir à l'ancienne version. Je suis très très déçu. Moderator Note - Translation by Google: The new app is a disaster. It creates a sound delay between my equipment. You need to fix this app very quickly or decide to go back to the old version. I am very very disappointed.

Unable to reconnect Arc to new wifi

Hi I have been using my Sonos Arc in Australia with no issues. Now I have moved to Hong Kong and I am guessing with the new WiFi I have to set up my Arc again with the Sonos app again so I can use it when streaming Apple Music. The sonos app constantly says it is unable to detect my system. I have tried factory resetting more than 10 times, the process works fine until the orange and white light blinks but I have not seen any green light. My Arc is connected to my Tv via HDMI cable and it works fine. So I know the system is working well. Its just not being detected by the Sonos app. So frustrating!! It’s been a week. Any advice is super appreciated!

rapid downgrade of Sonos product quality

I have three newer Sonos products that have been purchased between a year and a year and a half ago. All three of those products are useless because of the terrible app update that was forced on me. The old school play 5 that I purchased in 2013 still works to this day. Still works. I can still play my music on the Sonos Play 5 that I got in 2013 but I cannot use three newer products less than 2 years old the same way anymore. I miss the old Sonos and I want my money back for this new junk sonos. So anyone that could pop in some Sonos Alternatives here I would appreciate it. Because I know the best way to get the attention of Sonos is to talk about other companies to replace sonos.

Era 300 and sub

I have 3x era 300s and 1x sub gen 3 in large entertainment room for music listening only. 2x Eras are connected in stereo on one end of the room and 1x era 300 is paired with the sub gen 3. the room dimensions = 5 meters x 8.5 meters x 2.5 meters (height). My issue is to do with bass since most of the bass is on one half of the roof. Do I need another sub or is it a placement matter? Please help

difficulty getting sound out of the SL

We have the beam which we use for TV volume and on the other side of the room we have one SL. Since the app was updated, I have had a lot of trouble getting sound out of the one SL. I mess around on the app for about 15 minutes and finally I do something that gets sound out of it but I have no idea what that is. I wish that I could find what all the settings should be. I can provide more information if needed. Thanks to anyone that can answer or help me. The image above is what I see. No matter where I move the volume on the one SL no volume comes out of it.

Gen 2 Sub power failure

Gen 2 Sub no power - There are quite a few posts on power failure in the Gen 2 Subs. My product is out of warranty but it is obviously a product design fault due to regular occurrence. What is Sonos doing to repair these Subs. They were not cheap!

Sonos One Gen 1 update stalls

I am trying to use two Sonos One Gen 1 for a new system. The app tells me I can and should update them. Then the update stalls after a long time in with no error. details I believe the speakers are Gen 1 - bottom says “One” and below “A100” I know the speakers work, I tested them with the Sonos 1 app speakers are reset no problem the Sonos app finds the speaker and opens up the speakers WiFi the app runs for a long time until the little indicator is at about 9pm. That’s where it remains for hours with no progress (screenshot below) the phone shows the WiFi icon and settings show it’s connected to the Sonos WiFiany idea welcome

Sonos Five buzzing

Since the app update my Sonos Five (which is in a stereo pair) buzzes for a few seconds whenever I return back to the app and the room is set to the room where the Fives are placed. It sounds almost like interference. Very annoying.

alexa not working with new updated software & App

Really not going to buy another sonos product.As soon as the new app arrived my whole system went to rubbish, I can't control Alexa or timers, the app appearance is the worst. This is not a smart speaker anymore, more like a dum speaker. Probably like a lot of people I have a large Sonos collection of speakers (5 x 1s 2 x 5s 1 x sound bar 1 x sub and 2 x roam) all now unplugged expensive door stops. I will not hesitate to suggest to anyone I come across thinking of buying a smart speaker to seriously avoid Sonos products.Sonos you has seriously damaged you reputation as a so called high end product.

Cannot use Play:1 since update: no pairing sound

I couldn’t connect since the latest App update and did a factory reset on the Play:1. Setting it up seems to work at first but when it comes to playing a sound on the Play:1 it does not do it and then the setup fails. It works very well on the Era 100.

update has made speaker unuseable

I only have a Sonos play 1. It’s been touch and go for a good few years. I can open the app, load up Apple Music put a song on and it will play, then it disconnects and the app can’t find the speaker. Reset start again etc. Then it’ll go weeks being fine. However since the last update ( which I’d hoped might sort these issues ) it’s actually worse. Play a song, try to play a different one and it says “something went wrong” try to send diagnostics “something went wrong” infuriating.

IKEA Symfonisk issues

We have 8 Symfonisk in our space - since the update the speakers cut in and out, are generally unresponsive and when I factory reset the speakers one by one, an error message says that it can’t be linked to my account. I’ve tried transferring ownership but it doesn’t solve the issues of the music cutting in and out. Does anyone have a fix? The speakers had been rendered useless as a result. Completely unusable.

One SL pair stopped working since app update

Hi, I have a Sonos sound system composed of an Arc, 2 One SL speakers and a sub in my living room. I recently (last few days) discovered the One SL speakers no longer are outputting sound. I opened the Sonos android app to discover that there appears to have been an update, and both my One SL speakers are showing as network unavailable. I factory reset the 2 surrounds and reconnected to my system (living room group) , but I still get no sound from either. Both are flashing green and show as having no network available in the app. Please help as this is very frustrating. This is the first time I've had an issue with my Sonos products since purchasing them around 3 years ago.If you need any more information let me know. Regards, Greg
