Sonos help

Sonos not working?

Speakers missing from the app, music cutting out, TV sound delayed or not playing at all. Most Sonos problems are fixable, and most start with the network.

Sonos depends on your home network more than most people realize. A new internet router, weak Wi-Fi in part of the house, or a mix of old and new Sonos products can cause dropouts and speakers that disappear from the app.

As a certified Sonos dealer we fix the setup and, when needed, the network under it, so the system stays stable instead of needing a restart every week.

Common problems

What usually causes it.

  • Speakers missing from the app: the speakers and your phone are on different networks, or the Wi-Fi is weak where the speaker sits
  • Music cutting out: Wi-Fi interference or an overloaded router
  • TV sound not working or delayed: HDMI eARC settings or the TV's audio output settings
  • Grouping fails: older and newer Sonos products or network settings that block them
  • Everything broke after a new router: the system needs to be moved to the new network

FAQ

Sonos not working?: common questions

Why do my Sonos speakers keep disappearing from the app?

Most often the phone and speakers aren't on the same network, or Wi-Fi is weak where the speakers are. A proper network usually fixes it for good.

Can you fix Sonos without replacing speakers?

Usually, yes. Most problems are settings and network, not broken speakers.

Do you work on Sonos in Control4 homes?

Yes. See Control4 and Sonos.
