I set up new Sonos systems from scratch and troubleshoot existing ones that have started dropping connections, losing rooms, or refusing to group speakers together the way they used to.

A lot of Sonos frustration traces back to home WiFi, not the speakers themselves — so part of getting it right is looking at your network, not just the app.

Common Sonos issues

Speakers frequently disconnect or drop off the app
Rooms won't group together for whole-home playback
New speakers won't join an existing system
Audio drops out or stutters in certain rooms
Setting up a brand-new system across multiple rooms for the first time

How Larry approaches a Sonos setup

Assess the WiFi first Weak coverage in certain rooms is the root cause of most "broken" Sonos speakers.
Set up or reconfigure the system Speakers placed, connected, and named by room, with grouping configured the way you actually listen.
Integrate with streaming services Spotify, Apple Music, or whatever you use, signed in and ready across every room.
Show you the controls Grouping rooms, adjusting volume by zone, and using voice control if you have it.

For larger homes, extending WiFi coverage alongside the Sonos setup usually solves problems that look like speaker issues but aren't.
