Sonos music system

I recently changed some settings on my local network which resulted in the Sonos app not being able to find the devices on my network, so I took the opportunity to reconfigure it from scratch.

Powering the Sonos down

The first thing I did was to go around the house and turn off the individual devices which would allow me to bring each device back online one item at a time. When powering on the first device I did a hardware reset which involves pressing the + and play/pause buttons keeping them pressed until the light flashes white and orange.

Using the app you should be able to re-add the device as a new device. I found that this didnt always work and after powering the speaker off and on several times I had to use Force Stop within Androids Apps & notification settings.
