Hi all, looked at lots of the discussions but first time asking about my own system.I have recently started getting lots of interference or loss of speakers within home theatre set up (playbar, sub and 2 x play 1).  I two further play 1 in separate rooms but do appear to be affected with the issues.Nothing has been added or changed in the system set up in 4 years so assumed it network related and complained to provider who sent out a new router, only to find i have the same issues, albeit they now appear to be getting more repetitive.I followed lots of the guidelines suggested on here, rebooted, reset each speaker and connected playbar to router. Initial set up appears to work and I'm able to retune with true play. Within a few minutes the sound to sub and play 1 disappear but still show as part of the system in the app, when I reboot same speakers they appear as ? on the app so back to where I started. The playbar and two separate play 1’s show configured as WM0, but even on this I'm

My C7 LG OLED played Atmos from Netflix fine on a Sennheiser Ambeo soundbar. I’ve now swapped for an Arc (as it’s lower profile) and now Netflix will only play 5.1. This perplexes me, as clearly the TV and app can output Atmos.Any thought, anyone?

Hey guys! I just bought an Apple TV 4K, I’d like to learn more about it and use it at is full extent. So I got a few questions what’s your favorite thing to do on it? Favorite apps? Is there a way to watch live tv on it? Any tricks, hacks, recommendations?Thank you!Edit: Thank you all for your answers!  *Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the community guidelines.*

So i’ve had a couple of instances where I would turn on my Sony TV which I have hooked up optical to my playbase and it simply wouldnt work...no sound no nothing.  I would have to reset the tv sound to TV speakers.  After a couple of days I could reset it back to audio out “fixed” and it would work fine.  I could use the comcast remote or the sony remote to control the volume that output to the playbase.   Now this last time the sound went out for no good reason when I reset it I get two problems.  Either I can have the sound set at fixed and then none of the remotes change the volume or I have to have both the tv speakers and the playbase volume on and I get a huge echo….please help…otherwise I have a huge paperweight connected to this TV!!

I have a new Beam + 2 x One SL surrounds connected to ARC (HDMI1) on the TV and an Apple TV on HDMI2.  Setup nicely and playing fine until I decide to play music on my other SONOS speakers being a Move and a One.  I have the Move and One grouped together playing music and connect the Beam and surrounds to the same music group.  This all works fine until I later decide to turn the TV on after I stop the music.  The ARC control seems to disappear and I hear sound from both the TV and the Beam simultaneously.  If I attempt to adjust volume on the Apple TV, I get a message from Apple TV that remote control is not setup ???  The only solution I have found so far is to power the TV on and off to reset the ARC connection.  This is repeatable, ARC control seems to disappear after having the Beam join my other speakers to play music.  I’ve done this 3 times, each time I had to power the TV on and off to reset the ARC. Manually disconnecting the cables doesn’t achieve anything.  Can this be fixe

I have a Sony Master’s Series XBR-65A9G TV running Android TV version 9.  It is connected to a Sonos Arc (with 2 Sonos one SL speakers for surround).The Arc is connected to the TV via an eARC port and everything seems to work well most of the time.  I have verified that yes, I can get Dolby Atmos sound from Nexflix so things appear sane.My issue is… every now and then when I switch to the android streaming app (from my TV/cable box)… the sound cuts out.  Silence.  The only way I can get it to work again is to power cycle the TV.  I manually switch the Arc to use the TV input just to be sure… still silence.  Note that if I switch back to the TV/cable HDMI on the TV the sound works fine.  I suspect this is a TV issue and not a Sonos issue but I was curious if anyone else has seen this issue?? HDMI eARC port is set to “standard” format.  Seems to happen no matter if this is set to enhanced format or not. 

Have many Sonos products and love them especially my Arc. The issue I am having is my TV has limited HDMI ports especially those that are 2.1 certified. I think Sonos would sell a ton of high end hdmi switch that could connect to the arc through the e-ARC port. I have considered switching to a regular receiver and audio setup just because receivers accommodate many more hdmi inputs than most TVs.  Cheers, BG

I know this has been raised as a HDMI ARC problem but no, the issue is design. I want to occasionally listen to my tv via AirPods but Beam requires me to ‘physically unplug’ HDMI. Very 2011. Software update this please - keep internet, keep power, keep Alexa etc but toggle input off. If not give us a simple on off button. 

Buongiorno a tutto il forum.Chiedo se esistono utenti iscritti che vivono in Italia o che conoscono l’italiano, in modo da rendere, almeno per me, la comunicazione più agevole. Ho acquistato una settimana fa Arc + 2 Sonos SL. In merito al suono sorround che questi altoparlanti posteriori dovrebbero emettere...che sensazioni avete? Utilizzate un setup particolare? Siete soddisfatti?Io prima possedevo un sistema Onkyo 5.1, ma non ne potevo più di combattere con i fili che mi passavano lungo tutto il soggiorno e ho deciso di passare a qualcosa di meno ingombrante, ma sinceramente sto ancora cercando di capire come rendere l’ambiente sonoro veramente soddisfacente...

Okay I can’t figure out what the issue is. When I play Jack Ryan in prime video on my Samsung tv it shows the AD logo and in my Sonos app displays the Audio in as Atmos Dolby (DD+) under “about my system”.When I play any other movies or serials in prime video with the AD logo showed, my Sonos display audio in only as Dolby Digital plus 5.1. The same problem occurs in Netflix and Disney+. the atmos logo is displayed but Sonos only gets Dolby Digital plus 5.1 audio in.Apparently I am only able to play Jack Rayan in Dolby atmos. Why??? ps. Netflix is premium subscription!!!   

I have recently added a beam, 2 ones and a sub to my living room and am very very impressed.  I have a dedicated home theatre in a garage conversion with M&K speakers and SVS subs, so I know what a good system sounds like.  I would say for those that don’t want/can’t have a dedicated room the Sonos gets you close enough without having a large speakers everywhere. My first thought was it would be good for Sonos to allow dual subs to the setup which I see they have now added in recent days. The other was a dedicated surround receiver for 5.1 and above.  This would allow you to connect 5 ones or fives for all channels, could also support proper atoms with in ceilings or ones mounted up there.  

Hey guys,Im about to get a hold of an Arc as well. Can I use my two Play:5 (gen 2) as surround speakers? They are compatible with S2 so I’m pretty sure they’re gen2.  thx in advance!

I am only getting Dolby 5.1 multichannel pm on new arc and new 85 inch samsung q90 with ears. What am I doing wrong

I’m trying to get DTS-HD MA streams transcoded to LPCM for my Sonos ARC but all I get are DD or DD+ transcodes which are lossy codecs, unlike the original MA streams. Also, DTS encoded movies with 7.1 channels get bumped down to 5.1, again in DD or DD+.Any way to troubleshoot this? I think PMS and the different players can both transcode and with PMS you can hardcode an XML profile to force it to transcode stuff in LPCM properly right?I got a TCL 635 Roku TV, Shield Pro 2019, and ATV4K. Sonos Arc too.

Will there be future support or should I get rid of it?

After not being able to solve the massive sound delay between ps4->lgc9->playbase and the new ps5 not having a optical out to bypass the problem i have one question: Will ps5->C9->sonos arc via earc have zero sound dealy when playing dolby 5.1/atmos? I am willing to pay 800€ again for a system outdated today but i only use it fo gaming so thats crucial for me

Just bought a full home theater system (Arc, Sub, One sl), very excited for it to arrive, well just got it, installed it, working fine for music.  Got it connected to my Sony oled 55-a8f.  Connected it directly to arc input (the configuration was very dificult, (arc kept saying that another device was interfering with arc system and couldn’t get it to work from TV.  Tried disconnecting all devices from TV and connected just the arc, that worked.  Connected everything back and everything was working fine until I turned off the TV, once I turned it back on Arc got disconnected from TV.  Had to configure it again(remove all devices connected) and reconnect Arc.  Same thing keeps repeating.  I researched online and found out that I am not the only one, tried connecting with the optical adapter and everything seems to work fine now but what about Dolby Atmos??  This was the reason for me to buy this system in the first place.  Is there any update or anything that can be done so that I can c

I set up my new Beam with older Hisense TV connecting with the optical adapter. no problem setting up but after a few minutes sound starts to cut out (prob 1). Next when I add 2 play 1 speakers for surround I lose connection to TV (prob 2) and when I try to reconnect it I get "no signal detected" (prob 3). I've reset and reinstalled multiple times with same results. I've replaced every cable and same results. Any ideas?

Hi All, just want to share my experience with you how frustrated it was to connect my Panasonic Viera TH-L50ET60A with Sonos Beam soundbar. I have HDMI ARC as port 2 in my Panasonic TV, but Sonos app kept saying can’t connect via HDMI ARC to my TV with its original HDMI cable. I had the “Viera Link = On” and “Viera Link set to Home Theatre” everything works on my TV side. At the end, I had to change to a different HDMI cable to replace the one from Sonos and it worked without any issues.Why would Sonos provide a faulty HDMI cable, I cannot expect it for this price. Most people on the internet has experienced the same issue. Hope they can provide a better cable in the future. 

Hi all,I’m now on my second Sonos Beam. Occasionally from dialogue the speaker would buzz, like it was blown. I didn’t get much help from support so I sold it on eBay and bought another one.The second one I’ve had for two months and it’s now doing the same thing.They can’t be this badly built, surely? It’s never been above 50% volume ever and is only used for TV with two One’s in surround.This doesn’t happen every day, but does happen often, where dialogue causes a buzzing distortion sound. It lasts a millisecond or so but is very annoying.Has anybody else had this problem?What’s the solution? 

Hi folks,All of a sudden I'm having all kinds of issues with sound, I can't be 100% sure if it's the tv or the sonos but I'm having issues with no sound at all sometimes, usually fixed by turning the tv off & on, though this morning I had to turn 'pass through' off & on again. Now I'm not getting 5.1 through Netflix, it's definitely a 5.1 source but all I'm getting is stereo pcm, I've tried all settings I can think off but nothing works. The beam is connected by eARC

Announcement of the new Sonos external speakers (made by Sonance for Sonos to be sold as a Sonos branded product) has the hidden tidbit that with this setup Truplay will work to tune the speakers attached to the Amp. There is mention of automatically detecting the signature of the Sonos-specific Sonance speakers. This sounds like a DRM to purposely prevent Truplay from working with any other 3rd party speakers connected to the AMP - including standard Sonance speakers already sold and being sold. Is there any technical reason or is this a marketing ploy to push the new Sonos/Sonance speakers as "better" for Sonos Amp? I think allowing Truplay with any speakers attached to the Amp would be more customer friendly. All existing AVR receivers with sound correction work with any attached speaker since most AVR makers don't make any speakers they obviously assume the customer will be choosing their own brand of speakers.
