Speech enhancement on arc ultra problem

HiI’m flicking between low, medium and high on the arc ultra as well as off and I’m struggling to tell any difference.I’m happy with the dialogue with it off but to me speech enhancement doesn’t seem to be working when I enable it.I haven’t yet tuned my arc ultra via true play, unsure if that’s the reason.Anyone else find speech enhancement not making any difference to the dialogue?

Sound Surround Help

Hi,  I recently purchased a Sonos Arc Ultra, a Sonos sub-mini, and two Sonos Era 300 speakers. Although I purchased them together, I had to wait for the Eras to be delivered. I set up the Arc with the sub during that time, and it all sounded fantastic. I was really looking forward to the Eras arriving so I could set it all up as a Dolby Atmos sound surround system, obviously all in the same room. I have followed as many guides as possible regarding setting it up. I realize that I must be watching films and music that support Dolby Atmos, I stream music from Spotify and Amazon Music, as I was looking forward to listening to music with this complete music system. I listen to music all day, so it is important for me.  Here's what I don't understand and need help. When playing music from Sonos radio it comes out of all the speakers front and back. However, when I play through Spotify or Amazon Music I can barely hear a thing from the rear speakers.  And when watching a football game last n

Import playlists: song limitations

I see this is an old (+6 yrs) issue in this community, but is there ANY way to import playlists with more than 50-60 songs?? This limitation is very annoying since my last added songs can never be played on my Sonos system (unless I split the playlists, which isn’t really a good solution). Thanks for any help in this! I’m using Youtube Music when importing to my Sonos system.

shockingly misleading marketing

What a waste of time! Bought this specifically because it was advertised to work with Google home. You cannot pull a feature like that and hope nobody notices! It seems that the fallout has been handled terribly by Sonos. This gives me zero confidence in these products even if they restore the feature. Will return immediately and avoid like the plague. You cannot treat customers like this who have burned thousands of hours combined on this nonsense. Good riddance

Wrong Song Plays After Amazon Prime Music Content Service Artist/Song Search and Track Selection

When using Sonos Voice or Sonos app to select a song from Amazon Prime Music, a different wrong song is played and displayed in the now playing window. This is not an issue with other content services such as Apple Music or Spotify. That was tested by clicking on the service in the Sonos app and filling in the search field and further selecting the track from the results of the search. For Amazon Prime Music content service in Sonos, a completely different song from a different artist plays every time for any search entered. It is also an issue with the Sonos web player. I picked an album and it played a song from a completely different artist. If I click the three ellipses and click “Play Now”, it will play yet another incorrect song from yet another artist and that repeats itself every time “Play Again” is clicked. It is not an issue when using the native Amazon Music app on my phone. Can’t be a cache problem because it’s a problem on multiple devices, iPhone app and web page using c

WiFi connectivity

Hi, I am just trying to understand how the WiFi setup works when sonos is on home theatre mode. I have an Arc, sub gen 3 and 2 era 300s.When first set up the were all showing as separate speakers on my WiFi network. Now that I have set up the home theatre the Eras are showing as offline, I assumed as the Arc is doing the connection to the router. The sub is still showing up as a separate speaker on the WiFi hub, even though it is part of the home theatre. Is this normal?Strange thing is that the eras, when they were separate showed as connected by ethernet even though they were not.The Arc is showing up as on 2.4ghz band but the sub is showing as 6ghz (even though I thought 6 was not in the spec).I am just wondering if this is all as it should be. It seems strange that the sub is still separate.

Era 300 surround audio coming out of height driver

So I just ran some tests on my Ultra, gen3 subs, era 300 (surrounds) system. I’m getting what’s supposed to be rear surround audio out of the height driver on the Era 300s. I am getting height audio out of the height driver but I’m also getting rear surround audio out of it too. I used an Atmos Test app on my Apple TV 4K.  Anyone else seeing (hearing) this as well when 300s are being used as surround speakers?  Has Sonos addressed this anywhere?

Sonos arc ultra - losing sound

Sonos arc ultra - losing soundHello, I replaced an old playbar that never failed with a Sonos Arc Ultra.My new current settings:Sonos arc ultra TV sony xf9005Apple TV 4K first generationConnection Sonos arc to tv - hdmi ARC, Apple TV to Sony TV - hdmi cecUnfortunately, this is the beginning of my problems.As I change the channel there are no sound. Then I change the channel again and the sound comes back. When I pause what I’m watching  it loses sounds when I resume. Sometimes help me pause and play again and sometimes i must restart movie. I have reset the system, unplugged, changing hdmi cable, update firmware etc... (all recommended things by sonos chatbot)I contacted sonos support with chat and they told me that the problem is known and caused by the last update and that it should be fixed but they don't know when.I am very disappointed, I wanted to enjoy the new equipment and not wait for an update that will come who knows when.

Sonos App Refresh: Seven (7) Months Later

HelloJust wanted to pass along my impression of the Sonos App (fka S2) seven (7) months later. Before I continue let’s get this said and out of the way…The initial Sonos App release in May 2024 caused a significant amount of pain and anguish for many loyal Sonos customers. It most likely cost Sonos new customers as well. 🤔I’m sure you can find many threads in this community attesting to the debacle Sonos brought upon themselves by releasing an unfinished product. It’s going to take time for Sonos to regain the complete trust and confidence of its customer base (as well as attract new customers) regarding their commitment to provide an outstanding product in both hardware and software.Having acknowledged the above I can say unequivocally that the Sonos App; TODAY is performing as well as its predecessor and brought along some welcome improvements. I have installed three (3) Arc Ultras with subs and surrounds using Era 100’s or 300’s without incident. I have used Advanced Trueplay on al

Optical connection to Playbar

Quick background. Watch movies maybe once a month if that. Cut the cable long ago. Had Amazon Fire Stick connected to Sharp HDTV using playbar, mini-sub and play:1’s for rear sound as home theater setup. Had worked flawlessly for 10 years. Fire Stick started acting up and lost TV audio thru playbar around same time at some point earlier this year.  Assumed it was issue with Fire Stick. Finally purchased new Apple TV and was excited to set up but that quickly evaporated once I realized I was still not getting any audio from tv to playbar. Since the only physical connection is via optical cable I purchased a new one just in case. No matter what rabbit hole I went down I cannot get the Sonos app to recognize my optical cable. No settings on the tv have changed and if they had its a simple switch from fixed (internal speakers) to variable sound (external). This has consumed me for 2 weeks now and I’m at the point of giving up hope  I plan to call support to see if they can help but am not

Sonos Arc Connection Issues on Sonosnet – Help Needed!

Hi everyone,I’ve been facing a frustrating issue with my Sonos Arc and am hoping for some advice.Here’s my setup:Multiple Sonos speakers at home, all connected via Sonosnet (Beam in the Master Bedroom, which is hardwired to my Orbi RBK760 router). My home theater system consists of a Sonos Arc, Sub 3, and 2 Sonos Ones as rears. All other speakers in the house, including the Sub and Ones in the home theater, connect and work fine – except for the Sonos Arc, which frequently drops connection.The problem:The Arc regularly loses connection, even though the Sub and Ones (located right next to the Arc) have no issues. When the Arc is disconnected, it often blinks white, and after restarting, it might alternate between white and red before (sometimes) reconnecting after multiple attempts. The nearest Sonos speaker to the home theater is about 8m away, if that matters.Things I’ve tried:Restarting the Arc (results are inconsistent). Ensuring the Sonosnet setup is working (since other speakers a

Arc Ultra: Popping Sound Across All Content Types

One-week-old Sonos Arc Ultra makes a noticeable popping sound when navigating in/out of content. It’s not the loud pop reported earlier this year, but still audible and annoying. Factory reset twice with no change. Happens with all content types (stereo, 5.1, Atmos, YouTube, Netflix, etc.). Setup: Apple TV 4K, LG C1, bitstream input, passthrough output, eARC, Sonos HDMI cable. No speech enhancement enabled. What are my options/next steps? Example captured on video:

Android App

I’ve been in the software industry for 50 years now. That’s a long time. A very long time. I have seen many applications, utilities, services, and products come and go. I have built many of them.This new SONOS Android app? One of the worst re-versionings I have ever seen. Two cardinal rules have been broken:Never release a product that is not fully baked. If you present functionality to your users that doesn’t actually work as the UI suggests it should, you will feel the wrath. Never release a version update that removes functionality from earlier versions without very, very good reason. Doing so, after setting the self-created standard, takes away a considerable amount of your goodwill you worked so hard to create.We all know how depressingly awful this new version is and how much has been lost in the process so I won’t belabor the painful details.I really just want to know what you, SONOS, are doing about it? This sub-standard garbage has been all we have had for way too many months
