Fix & Optimize

If I use Apple Music or Spotify I have to constantly adjust the volume of songs. Very annoying. I never had that on my Sonos units at home but do at the office. If I connect via bluetooth it seems to be more consistent but via the Sonos app it’s ridiculous. I have a lot of older Sonos equipment so still using the original App. Don’t know if upgrading the equipment would make a difference. Again, same equipment at home and works fine. Any advice is welcome. Thanks

Hello All,am new to the Sonos Family and currently very impressed with speakers. Everything seems to operate correctly with CEC control but i can’t seem to play Dolby TrueHD audio from Plex using a 2019 Shield TV pro. The video plays fine with when using the TrueHD track, does not pass through the audio - there is no sound. The specs indicate that the Arc Ultra can support TrueHD tracks.What am i doing wrong?Also, i believe that the Arc Ultra does not support DTS-HD or DTS-X. Is there a way to trick to system to play those tracks by modifying the HDFury VRROOM setting or are those formats just not compatible with the Arc?Again… thanks for any help or suggestions here.Connection - Shield TV pro - HDFury VRRoom to Arc Ultra and Epson LS11000 separately.Tony  

I’m new to Sonos.  Took the dive with theatre completion: Sub4, 2xEra300s.  Now I have 45 days to see if they are worth the $$$.  I’ve deep dived many conversations here, but still cannot achieve Dolby Atmos.  This reminds me if building my Jeep… all the mixed info and dependencies on component and OS providers - ugh - my head hurts.First Impression:  Adding the sub and surrounds, moving my Arc out from under my TV which may have been blocking drivers and trying to establish Dolby Atmos, but getting from Dolby 2.0 output to Dolby multichannel PCM 2.0 -- the Arc came alive.  Much better, but not good enough to keep the Era300s yet.My system:Samsung QN85QN85BDF- Arc input to HDMI 3 eARC, Sound Output set to same.- External Devices:  Anynet+ (HDMI CEC) on- Expert Settings: HDMI-eARC Mode - Auto,  Digital Output - Auto, Dolby Atmos - on, (Pass Thru not active)Sonos:  Arc, Sub4, Era300 surroundsSource:  Xfinity StreamingI’ve tried “The Voice” broadcast in Dolby WAV to allow Atmos, MNF on ES

Hi community! Since I have a Sonos Arc soundbar and a pair of Sonos Era 300 speakers in my living room, I'm looking for a solution to easily switch from a Music configuration (era 300x 2 in stereo) to a Movie configuration (arc + era 300x2 in surround), without having to do the tedious and time-consuming manual configuration. For example, is it possible to create a room for the first configuration and a room with the second configuration? Knowing, of course, that it's the same pair of Era 300. Thanks for the help ! 

Hi Sonos Loves, I recently got a pair of Sonos Era 100 speakers, and they worked perfectly for about a week. However, AirPlay has stopped functioning. While Bluetooth and the Sonos app are working fine, the AirPlay issue has been quite frustrating.I have an iPhone 12 with the latest iOS, and I’ve updated all firmware and the Sonos app. I’ve also tried several community-recommended tips, but nothing seems to resolve the issue. Appreciate any tips

I just bought a Sub 4 to connect to one of my two rooms: living room or Basement tv.  the sub easily connects and disconnects from the living room but I cannot get it to connect to my Arc Ultra in the basement tv room.  any suggestions?

SONOS app on Apple iPadBrightspeed Fiber with GigaSpire BLAST u6.2 Router I have used SONOS for years with both DSL and Spectrum cable. Today I had Brightspeed Fiber installed. The router has one SSID for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Sonos products are not found on the network and of course will not connect. Have tried …Disabling the 5GHz radio in order to make ONLY 2.4GHz available Disabling the router firewall entirely so there was no filtering of traffic in or traffic outAnd assistance would be greatly appreciated. I’m all out of ideas to make SONOS work. Thank you !!!

I recently upgraded from arc+ play 1's to arc ultra + era 100I made a quick trueplay with my android app , but i don't know why we can't set manually surround distance ( greyed After the procédure) after that.I doesn't make sense since quick trueplay doesn't adjust listening position ( Don't tell me to do advanced trueplay, it never sets a good listening position between surrounds since years....)

First of all, I’d like to clarify something: Can I have multiple homes linked to the same Sonos account?For example, House 1 with one system, House 2 with another system, and House 3 with another system, all connected to a single email account for Sonos?This would allow me to control the systems by connecting to the Wi-Fi of each home without the need to have three different accounts with three different emails.That said, here’s the issue:I have a Sonos system with a Move 2 at home.I purchased another Move 2 for the office. When I try to connect it by creating a new location in the app, the application detects the Move 2 and proceeds with the setup process. However, when I select the Wi-Fi and enter the password, it says the network is not recognized.The Move 2 for the office has been reset multiple times (even though it’s new), but the connection still doesn’t work. If I create a new account, the Move 2 connects without any issues and completes the setup.The problem is that managing t

Hi,  I have an Arc and sub and I was thinking of adding my 2 Sonos Ones as rear speakers. The issue I am having is that the power cord does not reach the wall plug. I need a 3 meter power cord and I can not seem to find any. My wall plug is just a 2 pin power point, so I can not use an extension lead. Any suggestions or know where I can buy a 3 meter power cord for the Sonos One?

Hi, my Sonos-App on iOS shows the following under Settings → Switch SystemSonos System (1) [5 Rooms] Sonos System (2) [5 Rooms]So if i switch between the systems, nothing obviously changes in the app. If run “Forget System” in the app and “Join an existing system”, it shows “Multiple Systems found” and then lists all my Era 100s and Arc Ultra in System one system, and my 2 Sonos One SLs in another system. When i join any of them, my app is like before (i.e. i see all rooms and speakers and can control them)If they are split, some things can be only done by actively switching the systems, for example if i want to unpair or pair my One SLs into a Stereo set, that only works if i switch to Sonos System (2) (which contains only the One SLs i believe).I already tried factory resetting one of the two One SL and before re-adding it to a system and i made sure i’m in Sonos System (1) before adding the One SL, however, after forgetting the system and rejoining, it still shows them listed in Son

So the replacement battery is still OUT of stock??Is it ever going to available again?Has anyone purchased a generic version?

Hi there, I have a Foxel iQ4 box, a Sony KD-49X8000H and a Sonos Beam (gen 2) soundbar. I currently have the Beam connected to the TV using the HDMI-ARC output. This configuration appears to work well, but I’m interested in getting the best performance from my system.Q1. Is this the best way to conect the soundbar to the TV?Q2. I have the option of sending audio from the TV to the soundbar in either PCM or compressed Dolby format. Which is the best option to use for the Beam to optimize sound quality?Thanks, Andrew

We have two devices in adjacent rooms…… and Need to change the wake-up Word on one of them. Found several older threads stating that this wasn‘t possible.Is this still the case today? 

Hi everyone,I recently purchased a Hisense Canvas 65 Frame TV during the Black Friday sales, it was a great deal! However, I’m now trying to figure out if it will work with my Sonos home theater setup to get Dolby Atmos sound streaming.Here’s my setup:Hisense Canvas 65 (being shipped) Sonos Beam (Gen 2) Era 100s (as surrounds) Mini SubI don’t plan to connect any external devices (like a gaming console or Blu-ray player) to the TV or the sound bar, I stream content directly from the TV apps (Netflix, Apple TV, etc.)When I checked the specs for my new TV,  it has two built-in speakers and it says the surround sound supported is DTS Virtual:X and not Dolby Atmos. If I conenct through eARC, will my sonos equipment enable Dolby Atmos content? I’m getting mixed answers online - some people talk about audio passthrough and connecting devices straigh to the sound bar, the Dolby Website says the eARC connection should do it - but does not say if the TV's surround compatibility matters, etc.Can

Sonos Location PossibilitiesHi there Sonos folks,I just purchased 2 era 300’s to accompany a Arc Ultra, but I’m having trouble figuring out the best placement and angle. In the photo there is a representation of a couch which will be facing the TV (we are replacing this couch with a U shaped couch). The room is a bit tricky because it’s vaulted in a unique way, my guess would be for the red circles I would want it facing down, but I’m not sure if it would work well. The couch is relatively close to that wall as well, probably 4 feet? It seems like the downward facing driver wouldn’t hit your ears at the right angle? I believe I read that the upside down orientation is now supported via true play and Atmos content, but would love confirmation. Would blue even be a realistic option? Any other ways to do this? Thank you so much for the help!

I have , Optoma HD146X  projector and it has  output Audio  (stero) 3.5 mm jack how to connect to sonos arc ultra sound bar... 

HelloI cannot see any recent threads on this but about 10 days ago my alarms have just stopped working altogether. have tried setting an hour before, radio, Sonos chime, set playlist etc but nothing seems to work. The time comes and goes and no music whatsoever from the Sonos. So frustrating as this used to be perfect before all the problems. Then the set timings had to be an hour before but it was at least functional. Now nothing

Hi! I have a playbase and a new house. I have a router and I first connected the playbase to the network generated by the router. Then I installed a mesh network in the house because the router did not cover the whole thing. Now I am resetting the playbase to set it up with the mesh network. However, in the setup it only offers to connect the playbase to the old network generatesd by the router. The app offers to connect to another network and it shows the neighbours networkw but not my mesh network.i first had this problem with my other sonos products (one and symfonisk) but then they connected to my mesh network. I can only use the mesh network because it is the only one covering the whole house and I have sonos «all over». How can I connect the playbase? Also tried to type in the mesh network name and enter password manually but no luck.

Hi Sonos Community, I’m running into a persistent issue with my setup and would appreciate any advice. Here’s my current setup:• Sonos Arc (Ultra): Hardwired via Ethernet, WiFi disabled.• Sub (Gen 4): Also hardwired via Ethernet.• Two Era 300s: Configured as rear speakers, currently connected via WiFi. I’m experiencing consistent stuttering or audio skipping from the Era 300s, which is frustrating. Here’s some additional context:1. WiFi Setup: I have a robust whole-home UniFi system with excellent signal strength throughout the house, including the living room.2. Troubleshooting Steps:• Re-enabled WiFi on the Arc while keeping it connected via Ethernet, but the issue persists.• Ensured no interference from other devices or sources. I’ve ordered the Ethernet dongles to hardwire the Era 300s, but I was hoping to avoid additional cables and keep them wireless if possible. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Are there any recommendations for further troubleshooting or adjustments to th

We have 6 original Sonos play 3 speakers;2 original play 1 speakers; a Boost;  2 soundbars; 2 base speakersand a Move portable  speaker. The eight are identified  as 4 rooms.     ON the Sonos app  all of the rooms have disappeared, the only one visible is the Move.Any idea what's  up? 

Hey everyone,after the (terrible) Sonos system update, the (e)ARC connection between my TV and my Sonos Amp stopped working. No sound is played at all and the TV setup in the Sonos app just states, that no (e)ARC connection is possible. As it worked before the update, of course the TV is set to output the sound to the (e)ARC-HDMI-port. Tried turning it off and on again, reconnected the HDMI-cable a couple of times, rebooted the TV and the Amp and even set the TV to factory settings and reanabling (e)ARC-output. No dice.Does anyone has a solution to this? Or do I just have to wait until Sonos fixes this problem? It’s so frustrating...

Why remote went work on been further than 3feet!

We’ve moved house and got all products up except Sonos 5. I got this on via Ethernet to the router but as soon as I move it off Ethernet is says no connection
