The Sonos app is redesigned and better than ever. Get the latest update now.

“The Sonos app is redesigned and better than ever. Get the latest update now.”Yes, that’s honestly the banner at the top of this page:Sonos liesHilarious Sonos - let me rewrite that banner for you:The Sonos app is redesigned and worse than ever. Get the latest update now if you want to lose a lot of functionality and really regret doing it.Looks like their headphones will be released this week and I won’t be throwing good money after bad - a boycott might remind them who pays their wages.

Sleep timer - Workaround (Android only)

For those (geek, advanced android user) who want comfort and not wait for the return of this function, with Android only and luck, you can use the much missed Macronos application (His dev should have been hired by Sonos...).But you have to find the apk on an alternative store.Afterwards it's quite intuitive.And there are many other features, such as quickly launching a favorite on a speaker or a group of speakers.Macronos has still been working as well for years even though this App is no longer supported. Oh thank you very much!By the way, another feature that is really missing and which does not appear much as feedback is the control via the notification bar and the lock screen.Having to systematically open the app to adjust the volume or stop the music is simply a nightmare!It is urgent need to restore this control!

App update issues

Like many others, there are so many issues since the new app update. Along with lack of alarm control, I’m having major issues finding Move 2 on the app, before even when powered off you could see it as part of your system and could ‘wake it up’ - no more! It no longer appears and when switched on manually, trying to select any music service it constantly shows an error message to say it failed and try again. The only way for it to work is to group it with another speaker, select the music service and try about 10 times to ungroup as I want only the Move 2 to play. Also, playback stops constantly after about 5 minutes when playing from Spotify.So many more issues but this is the latest annoying one!

Alarm notifications still do not work properly

I have the latest app update on iOS. Fortunately I can set and edit alarms again now. However, the app is still not functioning properly in this respect: ever since I updated to the redesigned app some weeks ago, which was missing alarm functionality entirely, my phone kept giving me notifications about alarms going of at the times alarms were set prior to the app update. Even though I had since edited the alarm times via the Mac app, I kept getting notifications on my phone at the old set times. Even with the last update, which allows me to see and edit the alarm times again, I keep getting notifications at the old alarm times. Please fix that.

Looks like we may lose our networked libraries with next big update? NAS drive?

I could be wrong on this but maybe someone on this list can answer it. You will need to know some basic info on my SONOS system so I posted below..I mostly use my personal music library that is located on a solid state drive via my ethernet wifi connected network. I have a Apple Ethernet-wi-fi router that has an USB input on it. My SS drive with over 39,000 tracks on it (also my Apple itunes AKA Music drive) is connected to that same router. My SONOS components grab my music from that SS drive. With this upcoming software update it sounds like I (anyone with a similar hook up) will lose access to their connected drives??? I will lose of all my own paid for music on that drive. So one questions since I’m not quite a computer nut is… Is the way I have my SS drive connected to the router via USB considered a NAS drive?? Will I lose access to that drive if I do the update?

MAC - Sonos Can't connect to music folder error 913

How frustrating. I spent all day trying to get Sonos to connect to my iTunes library (music folder).  End result, I had to turn on file sharing, but my MAC would not allow me to do so. sTo get around that I opened terminal and did it manually via command line - sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.smbd.plistwhile you have terminal open type whoami to see the name you are logged in with and use that when prompted for user name and passwordso go back into system preferences-sharing and be sure file sharing is now turned on from manually turning on in terminal... be sure you click on the music folder and click options and make sure to check the box for “share files and folders using SMB now go back to Sonos app on your MAC and manage - Music Library Settings - and click the plus sign under the empty box to add location of your music. Choose the last option (network device or NAS drive). Here is where you need to put your \\computer name\location of your music and

Not everybody is constantly getting a new phone

Thanks for making the app such that I can’t even run it on my preferred old devices (and killing the old S2 app, which worked on everything in my house).  Not everyone wants to buy a new phone every year.  The last thing I expect is for my stereo system to essentially be useless because I can’t run the app anymore, especially from things like an old iPod touch (which I keep using for music).  I expect these things to work for more than three years.  Apparently, you don’t (at least on the software side).

Is there an official reason why Sonos doesn’t support DTS:X / DTS-HD?

I was looking into a new soundbar recently and had pretty much decided on a Sonos Arc.  On the tail end of my research I came across a post either on this site or on reddit that was talking about how Sonos didn’t support DTS:X or DTS-HD, and while a lot of new BluRay’s are coming with Atmos tracks now, many BluRays still only have a DTS:X or DTS-HD track.  I am in the same boat as I still play a lot of physical media, and just assumed at the Sonos price points they would support every codec under the sun to make it easy on the end user, it just plays everything. As I further researched this I read a lot of comments about how it’s because of a DTS licensing issue?  Is this the official answer?  There was an article on The Verge that said, “Sonos finally adds DTS audio support to its home theater lineup”.  However, when you read the article it says, “Sonos only seems to support standard DTS Digital Surround, so you won’t be able to get the most out of sources that use the higher specced

NAS Device w/SMB v2 or SMB v3

Since my NAS device with SMB v1 only no longer works with Sonos I have to purchase a new NAS device. How do I know if a particular NAS has SMB v2 or higher? I’m not seeing this listed in the specs and don’t want to accidentally purchase a NAS that only has SMB v1. Does anyone know?

iPhone can no longer control Spotify volume

I’ve read a lot of threads about the Sonos app not being able to control Spotify volume.  This issue is different.My iPhone volume controls can no longer control Spotify volume through Spotify. It doesn’t work using the physical volume keys.  It doesn’t work using digital controls in AirPlay. It does work if I dive deep into Spotify controls and change in Spotify digital controlsAny way to enable Sonos volume control when using AirPlay and Spotify app?  Ideally using physical keys but at a minimum using a more accessible volume controller somewhere else.I have latest iOS, latest Sonos app, and latest Sonos firmware update.

feedback on new app - sonos playlists and music library

Please, please, please roll back this terrible app release.  It’s a disaster.My chief gripes are: no access to Sonos playlists (which is how I manage my music); and my music library has disappeared (which is how I store my music).What a dire customer experience.

recent update awful

Sonos, did you fire your UX Designer on your most recent update.  It is a horrible.  I’m not sure it even works.  Still trying to get my system working. It’s difficult or impossible to play the same music on all speakers.

New, May 2024 Sonos S2 app network access

I’ve just upgraded to the new, May 2024 Sonos S2 app.  It wants local network access (photo).  It already has this.I’ve toggled Sonos’ local network access on and off in iPadOS settings.  No luck.  The app just keeps asking for access.  I’m now unable to use my Sonos system from the device I use most.Does anybody else have this problem, and is there a solution other than to wait for Sonos to fix it?Peter
