Fix & Optimize

Have recently purchased the Sonos Arc and am trying to connect to my new Samsung Frame TV wirelessly. Have not been successful in doing so as yet. Tried via the firestick but that doesnt work either. Was sold this product on the pretext that everything can be connected through wifi… Please help.

I have a sonos play 5 gen 1.  It connects to wifi great and works but has a loud humming sound.  It is too old and i won’t be able to trade it in.  is there any advice on what to replace? could it be a grounding issue?  would it be the capacitors?  if so which should i try to replace?  I would rather try and salvage it since it does work well otherwise.  

Hello.I have a question because I could not understand it well after reading the user guide.I currently have a USB DAC and a power amp connected with RCA cables.I would like to connect the SONOS Port between the USB DAC and the power amp with RCA cables so that when playing from the SONOS app, the volume is controlled by the SONOS app, and when playing from the USB DAC, the SONOS Port on the USB DAC side will reflect (not change) the volume .Is this possible by setting it to pass-through?

I recently installed Verizon FIOS Gigabit Internet service. The FIOS diagnostic app shows that the wifi system is being slowed down by the SONOS network running on an outdated wifi protocol. I tried changing the channel on the 2.4 Gig band to i, 6 or 11 as I had seen on another forum but it did not help.I have also heard that one can set up the SONOS network on a separate wifi network, but I don’t know how to use the SONOS app since all my devices are on the main home wifi network.Thanks for any ideas! I am using 2 SONOS Play 5 Gen 1 and 1 Play 5 Gen 1.

You may want to install the latest version of the Apple TV software (16.3.3)See here:https://9to5mac.com/2023/03/06/apple-tv-siri-remote-connectivity-fix/This disconnection issue would stop sending commands to your TV set, which normally passes those on to your Sonos Arc, Beam, or Amp via HDMI-CEC. If the remote isn’t communicating properly with the Apple TV, it can’t send those commands to your TV set.

Hi all!Can anyone compare Arc vs Beam 2, solely for dialogue clarity and loudness? Thank youNeven

Recently one of my Sonos One speakers went dead. Simply won’t power on. Product is about 4 years old. Seems like a rather common problem. And as others have experienced the resolution is a 30% discount on a new product. And I was basically told it’s not worth fixing…likely will cost almost as much as a discounted new product.  I’ve generally been happy with Sonos but this was definitely a bump in the road. 

Hi all,I can’t believe I didn’t find this anywhere on the forums so posting for others. I currently have the LG C2 with the Sonos Arc and Apple TV 4K.Here are the settings you specifically need to get Dolby Atmos to show as an option in Netflix:LG C2Digital audio output > Pass ThrougheARC Support > On Apple TV 4KVideo and Audio > Audio Format > Dolby Atmos On For most people this should be all you need to do. If you notice that Dolby Atmos is showing in other apps or your TVs own OS through Netflix but not Apple TV Netflix then do this: Find a movie you know for sure has Dolby Atmos and start the movie. (It will say 5.1 but start it anyways) once the movie has started select different audio tracks with your Apple Remote. Eventually it should change to Dolby Atmos and when you go back all of your Netflix shows will now be labeled to Dolby Atmos if applicable. You can verify this with your Sonos app that it’s working. Idk if this is a bug on Apple, Netflix, or Sonos but I hop

I generally use the Sonos in my bedroom to play sounds for 15 mins with the sleep timer every night. Unfortunately I can’t just press play on the Sonos because I need to login to the app to reset the sleep timer.  Prefer that the sleep timer remember it’s state (for example, 15 mins) after it turns music off.  I’ll disable the sleep timer if I want to, but having it permanent would allow me to just press play every night. 

I have purchased 200+ song on Amazon Prime. When I access them within Sonos it will only play 48 of them. Anyone having a similar issue?

Hello community, I have a Sonos amp connecting sonance cab cinema speakers for my left and right an a i12 sonance sub. My question is it never triggers the subwoofer on. My use is just a 2.1 system for the garage. Suggestions and thought are appreciated. I usually have to adjust or disconnect the sub to get it on 

I get my Sonos system programed to work with my WIFI router/modem but the next day my Sonos app informs me that the connection to the router/modem has to be reprogrammed. The reason I am told is because my router/modem switches between 2,4 GHz & 5.0 GHz. It has been recommended to buy a new router/modem that is 5.0 GHz only. Do I really need to get a dedicated 5.0 GHz router/modem? If so what 5.0 GHZ router/modem is recommended?

I have been using Sonos for 10 years.  No significant problems. Recently I have been encountering a number of problems with my system.  I am seeing a Boost updating message I have never seen before. I am also having volume problems.  Listening to streaming music then the volume goes way down. Sometimes it goes back up. The system seems to have become very unstable. Is there a fix in the works?

...but especially the Play 3 on the right channel of a stereo pair.Connect, four Play 1’s, two Play 3’s. The Left Play 3 is wired.Sirius and TuneIn had been fine all week.Last night, Amazon music started dropping sporadically.Today, Amazon and Connect both drop sporadically all over the apartment.I have swapped red and white cables on every piece of equipment up to and including the Connect, so I presume the Right channel dropping while listening to Line In is NOT an input issue.I have spent the last 90 minutes rebooting my system.When I try changing channels, every wireless speaker disappears. So I have brought each one from its locations, brought them to the living room, wired them, rebooted, and slowly they’ve been re-recognized by the system. This has happened twice.Right now the Connect and the Left Play 3 are both wired, and the sporadic dropping continues. (Long term the only device that can remain wired is the Left Play 3.)Diagnostic tickets 138353271369349562I believe the firs

Hi I have just bought two new Sonos 5s and there’s a problem .I have paired them and trueplayed them.the left speaker sounds great and the right speakers sounds crap There’s a massive imbalance between the two speakerswhat do I do ?

Is there an open thread somewhere for this suggestion? I know I can use crossfade on Spotify from within the Sonos app. I am wondering why it isn't possible to do this when casting/streaming from the standalone Spotify app (or any standalone app, for that matter) to Sonos. Is there a technical, legal, or other limitation? Or, is it possibly in the works? 

A couple of One SL can add to Ray as front L/R speakers instead rear speakers? Is yes, this configuration work well in movie sound reproduction? And for music (Airplay) reproduction?Thanks in advance for the answers.Andrea

My boost keeps updating and one have a solution? Thank you

I have the TCL 8 Series Roku Mini LED 65” TV with Sonos Arc, everything is up to date firmware and having issues. First, the sound regularly doesn’t work until I play/pause the show, then it works.  True of many apps on Roku.  I am using the HDMI cable Sonos supplied, with the ARC HDMI.When I play Xbox Series X, the dialogue is out of sync in the game by perhaps 1 second.  Why would this be?  Does the HDMI cable matter?  Or the length of it?3rd issue is that no sound comes out of the optical port, perhaps bc the ARC HDMI is now being used? I used headphones with the optical out of the TV but now they won’t work.  Any way to get this to work again?  A lot of tradeoffs so far for the Arc--would I have all the same issues with the Bose 600/900?Thanks

Why is this suddenly not available in this country 

Hi everybody!I wanted to share something about my Sub. Yesterday my wife, while in the kitchen, decided to kill a insect on a vaulted ceiling using a two pound flour bag. Little that she knew, the bag bursted (just a tiny split, not all the way) and some of the flour got on the top of my Sub Gen2 and around it. I did not see anything in the Sub. After I experienced a tiny stroke :-), I grabbed the vacuum cleaner and cleaned the mess. Then I’ve put Master and Commander, Sub setting plus 10 and told my kids to go into their room. We did laugh about it how a split second moment of anger or simply not thinking things through could give you some not needed work. Now for the serious part.Do you think anything could have happen? How is the Sub constructed, Where is the opening (besides the obvious rectangular one)? Do you think that flour can compare to dust in consistency and the ability to enter the SUB? Is it wise to turn the Sub upside down and try to shake it or vacuum some more? P.S. My

It would be nice to be able to configure the delay on the 12v trigger. I'd like to set it to zero, so it turns off immediately when someone hits pause. I'm using it to control an audio crossfade from my TV.
