I have a SONOS S2 system and I would like to use the Soundboard app to play a custom MP3 sound. I have installed the Soundboard app and uploaded a MP3 file. If I hit the play button, I can hear Homey playing the MP3, so I know that the MP3 has been uploaded to Homey correctly. But when I create my flow, and select the “Play a Soundboard sound”, SONOS will not play the custom sound. Even if I hit the “Test” button, nothing gets played. Homey only shows a green tickmark that the command has been executed. Is the Soundboard app broken? FYI, if I use the “Play a Sound” option and select one of the predefined sounds, it works as expected. ---

Works for me without any problems: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/c/ac97d9053091817e465bfdce35b9d4e25eb57796.png) But of course, you have to choose the MP3 file: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/d/ddc784818c59181688f85697d7399f540120d9ab.png) If no sound is available, maybe it helps to restart the Soundboard app. Sonos App: v6.2.1 Soundboard App: v3.0.1 ---

I have the same versions of those apps. I can see all the uploaded MP3s on the Soundboard app, and I can also select an MP3 file. So the flow looks fine. Except that it does not play any sounds on my SONOS. I have restarted the Soundboard app, but still nothing is being played. It looks like something is blocking Homey from playing a sound over my network… ---

No problem here also, did you look at the volume? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/f/af2318d1a927873c5e00cf5eb0e285648d5ee4b9.png) ---

Yes, I have tested it with different settings of the volume, nothing is being played (no sound). ![Homey_SONOS_Soundboard](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/7/e768a3606fd5c4c79df3da6f20b59f274c9dc076.png) ---

I had same problem that some MP3’s didn’t play. I re-encoded the MP3’s and can play them all now. ---

If I use the “Play URL” on the same MP3 ([https://homeycornelisse.nl/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Countdown-10-sec.mp3](https://homeycornelisse.nl/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Countdown-10-sec.mp3)) then SONOS will play that MP3 without any problems. If I download that MP3 to the Soundboard app, I hear nothing ☹ ---

Are you sure the Amp is a S2 device and not a S1. I have an older Play-Bar (S1), and that one can not play from Soundboard, while the newer Play-One can. ---

The AMP is listed as S1 and S2 compatible. I will run some test if I can play something on my Arc. ---

Hi @Hamster, there is a test version of the Soundboard app available ([Link](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.athom.soundboard/Soundboard/test/)). Changelog: Version 3.0.2 — Fixed an issue for Sonos. So maybe this version will fix your issues. ---

v3.0.2 fixes the problem, I can now hear the MP3 being played on my SONOS! ---

The same problem with these: Soundboard v3.0.3 Sonos v6.2.5 SOME files will play. other not. EDIT:Converted them again, all 9 .wav-files is OK as .mp3. Bug or feature? ---

Hi Dirk, thanks for your reply. No pattern which can be to help. Deleted the «old» .wav-files when .mp3-files worked. Sorry… 🙈 ---
