Fix & Optimize

Does anyone know if the auto EQ adjust that lowers the bass output on the Arc Ultra when it’s mounted in the Arc Ultra wall mount can be defeated? I have the Arc Ultra  mount and there does not appear to be any magnets under the adhesive cushion strips. It seems like the entire mount is magnetized.This does matter from an SQ perspective in my mind. If you suppress a frequency and then boost it with EQ the boosted frequency will not be as clean in comparison to the unsuppressed source frequency.

Is it possible to add a Wiim mini to the line-in on ERA 100 stereo pair?  Looking for an alternative method to get Tidal connect working through my system. Any advice welcomed. 

Hi ,I have just downloaded Sept 18 iOS app update with improved queue management which is better thank you. However when I add a track from my music library it just shows just a blank entry. Any ideas anyone ?   

I purchased a Sonos Arc (OfferUp, $450).  It works great but I was unhappy to find out it only works on the S2 app.  I have older Play 5s that are on the S1 app (not in the same room as the Arc). What Sonos Sub can I add to the Arc with the S2 app?

I have a Beam + Amp + Sub home theatre setup. I also have a mixture of other speakers throughout the rest of the house - another Amp, a couple of Era 100s, a couple of Play 1s and a One. They’re all running on wireless on the same network via multiple Unifi WIFI APs.Generally speaking, everything is working ok after several months of chaos, but there a few remaining niggles. The most problematic is that I can’t Airplay to the Beam. It immediately fails with the error ’Unable to connect to “Living Room”’. The behaviour is consistent and exactly the same from a wide variety of different Apple devices. I can successfully Airplay to all the other speakers/Amp in the system that support Airplay, including  some on the same WIFI AP as the Beam. The other day I finally got round to trying to sort this out, and I factory reset the Beam and re-added it. I was happy to see that after doing so Airplay now worked, and I thought that was the end of the matter.Sadly, a day later, it’s back to doing

I have a small vacation home.  When I go between the vacation home and the main house I have to update the network and add the speakers to the app everytime since Sonos released their new app.  With the old app I never had to do this.  The app still sucks and is not getting any better.  Does anyone know how (if possible) to not have to go through this process everytime I switch homes?

How do I change wifi to new server

How can i convert a dts master 5.1 audio from a blu ray Panasonic ub820 > TV LG G1 > sonos arc in a PCM multichannel 5.1? Actualy i have a outpout in PCM stereo 2.0

I have Arc 100 speakers in the theater mode. I accompanied the Tru sound operation. I have a problem with one of the speakers not being loud enough. Do I or can I increase the volume on that speaker?

Hi, I have Sonos AMP hard wired to celling speakers in living room. I have sub min connected to power outlet. Also have Samsung Tv connected to SONOS Arc via HDMI cable.  question : when I play YouTube music on SONOS app it works, it plays the sound in celling speakers and my Arc. But when I play tv the sound only comes from Arc.. I tried creating a group and playing it didn’t work.

I have been a Sonos proponent for the last 12 years.  It has been a beautiful thing with superb   sound quality….. until lately.   I feel like Sonos has taken a beautiful thing and just completely turned it into a lump of shit.    one problem I have is that my speakers are constantly disconnecting while playing the the skipping moves around from speaker to speaker and then all of the speakers will go out and then one of the speakers will come back on and then a few more will come on and it’ll go off on some others. It’s just literally a nightmare.  I will add that I have a boost set up so this should not be a problem since that is the exact purpose of a boost,… to stabilize playback.    but that’s not even the worst problem. Tonight all of a sudden, the audio sounds terrible. I like a lot of good Rich deep base.  I just cranked up my music on my sonos to do my Friday night house cleaning and it is as if none of my setting for base (equalizer, sub volume, etc) are prevailing.   There is

My tv sits on top of a tv cabinet. I placed the Arc sounbar about an inch in front of it but still on the tv cabinet top so it’s maybe an inch below due to the tv stand - not 4 inches. What will that affect? What is the purpose of the 4 inch rule?

Hi,Does anyone know if I can continue to dual wield the Sub2 with the Arc Ultra if I own a Sub3?

I have four 'new to me' ZP100s. Three of them set up no problem and have been working fine. The forth keeps dropping off the Connect  app. If I run CAT directly to the switch the ZP100 still drops but the network port lights still flash. I've tried factory resetting  and re-adding the product several times but it still does same thing. The other oddity is that the white status light on the front of the ZP never lights up - even during factory reset. I've gone into settings to make sure it's set to on and it is.No support from Sonos since I'm not the original owner.Anyone experienced this? I don't think it's power supply since the network port lights still flash. 

Anyone have a solution for slow loading of the Sonos app. Mine seems to take about 90 seconds. Already tried the suggestions from the chat.  

Hi, I was wondering if the placement of my Sub 4 could damage or alter the performance short or long term?My Sub 4 currently is placed between the couch and the wall. The wall has a socket where the Sub 4 is plugged in - while the plug and cable itself are placed inside the Sub’s opening, between the two drivers. Could this be detrimental to the performance of the Sub 4?Ideally it would be totally between the two drivers to hide the plug and cable completely. 

Can someone help me? I’ve tried and tried to get my 100s and my playbar to reconnect. This problem has persisted since the now infamous May ‘24 software update Sonos pushed out.My 100s will appear, if and only if, I delete and reinstall the app on my IOS. However, within minutes they disappear again.My playbar just won’t show up.To set the stage… I’ve been running my Sonos system, which consists of several components beyond those mentioned above, via Starlink. I know Sonos claims they don’t support Starlink connected systems (stupid!), but mine worked fine for several years prior to the May update and haven’t work properly since. I’ve read and tried all I can find on the Sonos support community and the Internet, to no avail. Though, I could probably test out of an IoT Masters at this point.If someone can help me resolve this, I’d be eternally grateful. Hell, I’d pay someone to come to my home and resolve this if I could find someone that new how.

I own a Sonos ARC and a sub mini. I just bought a pair of Era 100’s. When I was trying to install the Era 100’s, it wouldn’t recognize the sound for the pin. I had to add them manually with the S/N on the bottom of the speaker. Now I want to run the Trueplay to set it all up and it fails every time. I can get it to the point where you turn your phone around and it starts to play the sound and fails right away. I am using an iPhone 13 Pro Max and it is upgraded to the latest IOS 18.0.1 software. Is there a problem between IOS 18 and the Sonos app? It worked perfectly when I ran Trueplay on the Sonos ARC setup. Anybody else having a problem? 

So many issues going on. Any insight would be helpful. What I have:sonos bar & subwoofer (2) Sonos play 1’s(1) Sonos play 5Issue 1: cannot find bar at all. I’ve tried unplugging/replugging. I’ve tried factory reset. Cannot find it at all. I have a new tv and I think it’s too new to connect the bar to use the volume. I’d like to at least use my phone for this. Any ideas? Issue 2: I finally managed to get my (2) play 1’s found through the Sonos S1 app, but iTunes (my main music stream) does not see them. I usually connect these to my play 5, as they are in adjoining rooms and have music playing through all. Sonos is not seeing my streaming through iTunes so I can’t play anything through these. ?? Issue 3: cannot find play 5 speaker over the S1 app. It is however seen through iTunes. Again, cannot join this with the room my play 1’s are in.  Help!! I just want music in my house again. 

Changed my network and 10 days later having tried everything still can’t connect. Absolutely useless  

I am trying to replace my Beam gen 1 home theatre with Arc Ultra soundbar.  The two surrounds (gen 1 ones) and Sub Gen 2 will not connect to Ultra, yet have no problem connecting to Beam. I have reset the speakers, connected via ethernet to router and still no luck. Any suggestions? I have contacted tech support and still no luck.

I am currently building a home and have the prime opportunity to put my favorite sound system in the ceiling but am struggling to find the information needed to power them. Am I understanding this correctly that for every 2 passive speakers I need 1 amp or is there another device that I am unaware of that can tie all of these together?? I am currently looking at 14 - 16 speakers throughout the home. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Is it possible to connect a jbl spinner bt turntable with a Arc and two Sonos one speakers and a sub 3 ? I tried it but failed. I clicked on the Sonos look for device but does not find the turntable 

In my Sonos system I have a Playbar, Sub and 2 Play 1 speakers, all in the same room and all on the latest firmware. On a Synology NAS drive I have my own music library.  The NAS is running the latest version of DSM.If I remove the Sub from the system or room, then I can access the music library from my Android app and play songs from it through the Sonos system.  When I connect the Sub back to the other speakers, I get the unhelpful message “Something went wrong” as soon as I try to open the music library in the Android app.  However I can open and select songs from the music library using the Windows application.I contacted Sonos support about this problem today and they told me it’s a known issue affecting multiple users.  I asked when it would be fixed and was told there is no estimated fix date.I did not have this issue before the May update.  However I first became aware the Sub was the cause of the problem at the start of October. Until then I thought accessing the music library
