My Sonos system is going absolutely crazy for some reason I keep unplugging and re-plugging and rebooting the router etc. But dropouts are happening all the time, speakers suddenly go off-line and then it says do you want to add the speaker back a few days later? I feel like having a Sonos garage sale at the moment.
@@pawool that must be frustrating! Are you using Wi-Fi extenders or a Mesh system at all? If so, they must all be set up as the same network. Have you tried connecting an Ethernet cable to one of the Sonos devices?
Tony, have you found a fix to the app asking you to register products that are already registered? I’ve tried everything except asking SONOS to delete my account and starting from scratch. I cannot use 5 out of 7 components and have spent at least 6 hours troubleshooting.
@@airforcex9412 I’ve had that problem a few times and have managed to fix it by force closing the app, rebooting the Sonos, as well as the internet. Sometimes a few times! I hope it resolves itself 🤞
Thank you! It worked. It was the local network for me. 👏
@@omayrazermeno6119 I’m so glad it helped! The ‘Local Network’ switch has caught out a lot of people. For some it switched off after an update.
Why are these useless outdated, useless videos being aired?
@@kingkobra1956 this video was made before the new Sonos app was released. I have made a new video for the 2024 app that includes where they have moved the ‘grouping’ symbol. See my Sonos playlist, there are 2 videos that focus on the 2024 app and there will be more soon. See: ruclips.net/p/PL4JFjqwQj6dL9UPg-DvGwkFv909Cu4y5s&si=Q5rUqEJ5joEI9RZw
i have a apple account but keeps saying your my account has expired. frustrating sonas since they upgraded the system/ can’t even play youtube music through it yet says connected one would have thought it would just transfer over to sonos/ bad app.
Try removing your Apple Music from the Sonos app, then add it back in again. If this doesn’t work try playing directly from the Apple Music app using AirPlay. This should also work for RUclips music.
Well duh! I’m here because zero of my Sonos speakers are showing up there…
@@samscott9280 just finished making a video that will hopefully fix that problem! It should be ready in a few days. 👍
I have made a new video to help if your Sonos isn’t working. I hope this helps: ruclips.net/video/NZwEqAclzA8/видео.htmlsi=iHvN_pmWhYlsyIST
Nice. Just like that.
Tip #4. DO NOT UPGRADE
@@gnystrom13 you’ve got a point there! I really hope they get this app sorted very soon, their future depends on it!
Wrong. No "Services and Voice" option within settings.
@@coloradoyeti3091 yes you’re right, this video was made for the previous version of the Sonos S2 app. I will record updates soon 👍
My Sonos speaker doesn’t show up on my air play. How can I activate it, so it can show up? Thank you for your time
@@Tru4Life older Sonos devices didn’t have AirPlay. e.g. The Play 1 doesn’t where the ‘One’ does. Same with the Play 5 doesn’t and the ‘Five’ does. Ditto Connect Amp verses Amp. This link shows AirPlay compatibility: support.sonos.com/en-au/article/stream-airplay-audio-to-sonos
Well that was smart. Since getting my voice activated Alexa and Google speakers my Sonos of which I have 2 have been underutilized. Nevertheless I do need to book in time management for certain rooms to keep me motivated and on task. Therefore having a convenient way to double duty my playlists with top of the line audio your tip certainly did that. Thanks.
@@aw3277 great to hear that this feature worked for you 📲 🔊
As I’m getting older, I moved home months ago. My Sonos works for my Sky tv on one long Sonos speaker,but the other 2 behind me play music from Sonos music, the one in the cubed not a specter ? That connects to WiFi can’t just goes from green to red to white then stays in green, iv spent day over six months trying ? IV had my Sonos for years never any trouble, I’m in jersey Chanel islands , thanks guy, I’m on messenger and facebook, as guy derrien I’m going to France next dater day for a month, I do get WiFi in France only when at home, thanks Guy
@@guyderrien8716 I’m assuming you have a Sonos Sub? Try factory resetting, to do this, remove power, press the button on the front of the Sub and keep it held in as you put the power back on. Keep the button held in until you see a flashing orange light. You can now add the Sub back in as a new product. I hope this helps.
ya, if it was that easy I would have done this years ago, however since none of my Sonos spreakers show up in Air Play on my Mac running the newest softwares...this is bunk!
@@mclaughlinmac7241 there must be a reason for this. Either your Sonos speakers are models made prior to AirPlay 2 compatibility, e.g. a ‘Play 1’ rather than a ‘One’ or the settings on the Mac have disabled AirPlay. Happy to help solve this - what Sonos devices do you have?
It stopped working. Now the option of where to play it from is no longer there
This feature wasn't really effected by the recent Sonos app update so it may be something else. To fix, use the Sonos app and check you have the latest software and also make sure 'Update Automatically' is on. If this doesn't solve the problem, try switching off (remove the power) from all of your Sonos devices, then also power down your internet and any Wi-Fi access points. It makes no difference which order you switch everything off - but switch back on in this order: 1) Modem on and wiat for it to be back online. 2) Power on any Wi-Fi access points and wait for them to be working normally. 3) If you have any Sonos devices connected by ethernet cable, switch these on first and wait for them to be working. 4) Switch on all remoning Sonos devices. You can then try to play music direct from your Spotify app - hopefully it is working again :)
Can you do this on the Sonos play one
@@Furry__ yes absolutely, this should work well with the Play 1 and I’ve not had an issue with this feature, even after the new app was launched. If it isn’t working make sure both the Sonos app and the Play 1’s software is up to date. Keep in mind the Play 1 and the ‘One’ are different. Both will work with Spotify speaker connect, but the ‘One’ is compatible with Apple AirPlay where the Play 1 isn’t.
Fuck Sonos man, I'm done with them. Dont need more Puzzle in my life.
It's not working at all with the new june 24 update on sonos. Why this company making people's lives so hard?
Yes the new app certainly has created a few problems! I have had issues with playing Spotify from within the Sonos app, but so far no problems playing direct from Spotify. Try powering off all of your Sonos devices and also go to the Sonos app and make sure the software is up to date, then try again. It should work…. hopefully.
Because they're greedy assholes!
Great, thanx for this tip. My sonos app stoped playin my favorite Spotify list about 3 weeks ago. I can play other lists byt not my main list. Finaly I can listen to my music in my livingroom again. So happy😃😃😃💜💙🩵
Yo tony. Do you have any advice on how How to play your library from the new app. I don't use streaming services
Hi, yes it looks as if they have removed the local library from the new app - for the time being. There is a rumour that the function will make a return later this month. Let’s hope so! In the meantime you should be able to access your local library by using the desktop app on your computer. If you don’t have it you can download from sonos.com from the Support tab. Another option is to use Plex if you have your music on a NAS. If you have your music on the Apple Music app (iTunes) on your iPhone, you can AirPlay direct to the speaker, so long as it’s a more recent AirPlay compatible Sonos speaker.
@@TechWithTonyAustralia i am using plex, then accessing plex with the sonos app. We have had alot of storms lately, and this method does not work without internet. But i went with sonos because of the library feature
Sonos have confirmed the Local Music Library feature will return in an update this month. Great news 👍
@@TechWithTonyAustralia It looks like they were wrong. It's two months later and it looks like I still don't see a way to to stream directly from the Sonos app on the iPhone to the Sonos speakers. I also am unable to add the music folder on my Mac to Sonos. I get error number 1002.
@@rjayt88 yes we are still waiting for some features to reappear. Link here is Sonos's update schedule: support.sonos.com/en-au/article/the-new-sonos-app-and-future-feature-updates
you saved my life today! The new Sonos app is awful.
At this point I’m shocked anyone needs assistance with this. But you can select ariplay first to prevent you from playing through your phone first. Thats an unnecessary step.
Yes you are exactly right, if you select AirPlay first then the music will play to the Sonos speaker straight away. Also, many don't relaise you can use Sonos speakers without using the Sonos app. My videos are intended for people who aren't tech savvy or are new to a particular device. Let me know if you have a subject you'd like me to cover.
Thanks!

Hi Tony, how do you clean up a Gmail account that you want to hold but if flooded (4GB+) with newsletters?
Good question, I'll add it to my list and post a video.
hey tony i having a trouble with my apple tv search where it only search within apple music and apple tv+
Hi, The Apple TV search should search most apps if you use the Siri search or the Search app (grey app). Don't use the search within other apps unless you want to search this app only. After searching, make sure you move down to the 'How to watch' line which should show all apps the movie or TV series is available. I hope this helps.
@@TechWithTonyAustralia yeah i’m doing exactly the same i tried the siri search and the grey search app from both i’m unable to find content for example if i ask siri ‘ squid games ‘ then siri says i’m can’t help you with that one and if a search this in search app it also not showing the show
and can i share you the pictures from which you can understand my problem better
I have just tried the same search for 'Squid Games' and my Apple TV found this title availabe on Netflix. Check the settings on your Apple TV and make sure the 'Location Services' are turned on. To do this, go to the Settings app, then 'General', then 'Privacy & Security', then 'Location Services'. Once you are here make sure 'Location Services' are set to 'On', as well as 'Siri and Dication' are set to 'While Using The App'. I hope this resolves the problem. If this does not work I can reccomend the 'Just Watch' app, this app works well for movie and TV searching. It is availabe from the Apple TV App Store, but I find the Just Watch app works better on a phone or tablet. @@jatanaharman
@@TechWithTonyAustralia this is doesn’t help issue is still the same but i installed the just watch app
