Sonos. Please do this. This is the number one software update we need - stop posting all these playlist updates as if they are the most requested. Theyre not.
Folks who have the eras should be able to use them to their best ability aand you have borked the system with your poor software choices.
Bonjour à tous,
J’hésite actuellement entre garder un Sonos Sub Mini ou un Sonos Sub Gen 2.
J’ai lu pas mal de posts où certains disent que le Sub Mini est meilleur pour la musique et inversement, en disant que le grand Sub est meilleur, mais je ne suis pas toujours convaincu.
J’ai actuellement les deux chez moi, donc je peux les comparer directement. Le prix n’est pas un critère pour moi je veux simplement garder celui qui offre les meilleures performances.
Je trouve que le Sub Gen 2 descend plus bas et offre davantage d’impact à volume élevé ( mais je compte pas monter le son au dessus de 50% en général ).
En revanche, beaucoup disent que le Sub Mini est un peu plus précis et plus musical. Pourtant, en testant des morceaux avec de l’infra-graves, j’ai l’impression que le Sub Gen 2 reproduit mieux ce côté profond et sourd des très basses fréquences, sans pour autant être envahissant mais le mini le fait aussi mais légèrement plus localisé
Le caisson sera principalement utilisé avec une Sonos Arc, et occasionnellement avec une paire stéréo de Sonos Era 100 dans mon bureau.
Pour ceux qui ont pu comparer les deux sur une longue période, lequel garderiez-vous et pourquoi ? Je suis surtout intéressé par un usage musical, même si je regarde aussi des films de temps en temps.

ratingKey, so albums and tracks attached to duplicate server-side artist records remain accessible instead of being hidden.Looking into getting a play, but curious about the white vs black. The white would seem to better in the sun but I’m curious how the white has held up with discolouration. (Perhaps not the play because it’s new, but the other models )
I am planning to upgrade my home’s network equipment and replace my tenda router and assorted switches with Ubiquiti gear. Just one problem: I have 11 Sonos speakers/amps/ports, a mix of old (playbar/play:1) and new, wired and wireless, and they have been rock solid for the ten months we have lived here using otherwise lackluster equipment. I’ve heard the horror stories about Sonos systems on Ubiquiti networks and am curious if the new option to disable sonosnet has solved the issues people were having.
For context, I am not able to wire everything, and I have WiFi turned off on all of the wired devices except for my port, which needs WiFi to take advantage of my AVR’s “Works With Sonos” featured (which wakes the AVR and tunes it to the Port’s input when playing anything over the Port).
Installed Sonos Arc Ultra, Sub 4 & (2) Era 300’s. Need more sound!
This is a new custom home so I ran speaker wire for (3) front, (2) rear & (2) ceiling. All in a vaulted living room/kitchen. Floor plan also opens to foyer & dinning, both with tray 10ft ceilings.
Haven’t decided on a final wired system so I went with Sonos for now. The 300’s are in the back above the kitchen cabinets. Had hoped to build the final setup by adding to the Sonos setup. Oops!
**UPDATE**: After several hours on the phone with support, it was determined that the Arc Ultra wasn’t (or couldn’t) find a home channel for the sub to connect to. After yet another round of factory resets and ton of diagnostics, we were finally able to get it to do what it needed to do. How did we fix it? Idk. I just know it works now.
I've tried using both a Sub 3 and a Sub Mini, noting that I know they can't be used at the same time.
I have an Arc Ultra hooked up to an AppleTV 4K. The Arc Ultra is working fine. I've tried playing music through Apple Music as well as a bass heavy scene in a movie. There's zero sound coming out of the Sub Mini. The light on the back of the Sub Mini is solid white.
The Sonos app is showing the Arc Ultra and Mini both in my living room under Products. Pairing was all done through the app, including an update to the Sub Mini. WiFi is showing as enabled on both the Arc Ultra and Sub Mini in the Sonos app.
The Sub Mini is brand new, purchased today.
The Sonos app is showing the option to "remove Sub", likely indicating that it knows that the Sub is there.
I've also tried toggling Sub Audio on and off and have it (temporarily) turned up to +15 on Sub Level to see if I can get anything out of it. Nada.
I have NOT done any TruePlay calibration, as the room isn't set up yet. I want to get the system working first, then move furniture around.
What else can I do?
This is incredibly frustrating. I've had the same issue with my Sub 3, and I assumed there was some kind of hardware issue with it. I guess maybe it's working fine, but Sonos' software continues to shit the bed.
I have an Eero Pro 7 in the same room as my main router (not hardwired to either the Ultra or Sub) and 2 Eero Pro 6s in other rooms.
I bought a Beam 2 during Prime Days for a simple living room setup. We watch news,TV series and occasional movie. We need Amazon Alexa in this room.
Now facing the “Sonos crackling speaker” issue which seems to be attributed to WiFi interference. It occurs randomly and annoyingly even for audio source via HDMI. Really don’t want to bother fixing the Sonos problem only to have it appear again after the return period expires.
The Yamaha SR-X50A looks attractive for use with our Samsung Frame.
Opine please — I just want a simply life with reasonable audio that fits on the mantle!
To help my two cats during the fireworks today I’d like to have my Sonos system playing music all day while we are away.
Is there a way to play it all day without it timing out and doing an “Are you there?” type of thing?
I have Apple Music available but willing to subscribe to something for the day to accomplish this.
TIA
Mine had been working without much of an issue for ages, now today all of a sudden it's an absolute mess, can't stream radio because it complains there's issues with the WiFi all of a sudden, random speakers dropping out, if it does eventually work it stops to buffer constantly.
Gave up and ended up using my AVR to stream which seemingly had no issues at all.
Even restarted my entire WiFi and switch stack just to make sure... Still struggling.
I’m thinking of buying a WiFi to wired adapter and connecting it to a router in my living room, then running cat5e cables to my Sonos speakers in the living room as well as my TV and other devices. Has anyone tried this to see if it improves the performance of the Sonos speakers, reducing cutouts and connectivity issues?
My Sonos Move 2 (UK) has worked for the last year with the usb cable for the dock plugged directly into a USB C wall socket. All of a sudden recently my dock has stopped charging unless I use the Sonos USB C plug adapter and plug the dock into that.
Any ideas why this has happened? I have a few Move 2s and the same thing happens with my other units and I get warnings that the charger suddenly isn't the right power when plugged directly into the wall. Annoyingly I have misplaced one of the plugs so I am having to rotate charging, do I just need to go out and buy a replacement Sonos branded USB C wall adapter?
Has anyone tried this? What generation of the Mini should I use? I want to avoid the 2027 update which will kill the Sonos 1 app. Thanks.
Every time I open the app I receive the same message. I’m logged in, definitely have a system and have used it successfully on the app previously, am on the same wifi network, upgraded my app, logged out, back in, changed passwords, done it all. But still get this message.
Sonos was once good. Now not so much.
Hey everyone,
happy 4th of July Weekend!
I built my own version of trueplay for my self hosted music server app called moosic. This honestly was probably the hardest endeavor i have ever taken up in software. I wanted to be able to play lossless to my sonos speakers while also being able to apply my own EQ settings. In my app i have a pretty decent EQ setup but i also have a convolution engine, which allows me to literally measure the room just like trueplay does. As we all know, airplay is not lossless and trueplay is proprietry and cannot be applied through the api. In order to get this to work properly i had to essentially setup the phone as a proxy. So my app will pull songs through the phones inside of a proxy, it will apply the DSP tap and/or room measurements to the track and then send that to the sonos speaker. You can set a correction for every room that will auto apply based on what speakers/group you connect to. I have been pretty happy with it! Id love if some of you gurus out there to give the room correction a try and let me know what you think. Im honestly very curious of this communities opinion. Is this a good replacement/workaround for trueplay?
NOTE: for anyone that wants to play around with it:
-you have to enable "DSP Sonos" in settings first. its off by default because it can chew battery quicker than traditionally allowing sonos to pull directly from the server. The phone is doing the work as a proxy.
-once thats enabled, connect to the speaker or group you want to correct and run the room correction. :)
my app can be installed through test flight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/kvhZpAJT
i also have a reddit community for all of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/MoosicLab/
Hey all. I'm pretty technical but cannot solve this one. I updated to S2 finally and also running Alexa+. I have a group of 3 speakers, that play music when I ask Alexa to do it. (none of the sonos have Alexa built in). ever since the update when I ask Alexa, music will either play on 2 of the speakers, or the 3rd. Sonos shows them all grouped either way. but volume will only come out of 2 or the 1. no idea why. if I ungroup and regroup, still nothing. this is ONLY when I play asking Alexa to play music.
they are set as preferred speakers in the group. I have disabled and reenable the skill, deregistered devices, deleted devices, rebooted them, removed the group, renamed the group, taken the Alexas out of the group, etc. If I play directly from the Sonos app, everything works fine. Sonos tried everything and says it's an Alexa issue, which currently are zero help. so I am here. any help is very much appreciated.
Anyone else have one speaker that doesn't work after an update
I’m new to the Sonos family. I recently bought the Arc Ultra, 2 Era 100’s and the sub mini. The arc ultra states its playing Dolby Atmos but the rear Eras say home theater 2.0 same as the sub. Is that normal for full Dolby experience? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Been having this issue since the last update, delayed by half a second. I have tried to rest a few times but no luck! Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: Thank you those who commented and helped!
