Home theater

Added Beam to my list of products but every day I have to unplug my router to RE-ADD the beam to my list of Sonos products. As you can imagine this is a real pain and it fouls up my other (non-Sonos) devices too requiring login on those devices as well. Once added, why doesn't the Beam remain on my list of products?

Hi, I’ve recently purchased a Sonos arc sound bar, sub and two SL speakers. However i am not connecting these to a TV. I have a projector. I may have overlooked this detail. Is it possible to connect these to the projector? Thankyou 

Hi There I recently purchased a Sonos play 5 and want to play audio on my projector through wifi or bluetooth. I have a fire stick i use on my projector - so i purchased a blue tooth receiver for my sonos speaker. Fire stick is able to recognise it and connects to it - but it gets added as a “headset” not a “speaker” and I can’t hear any sound. Any suggestions on what i am missing ? thanks 

Hello,I just go an Arc and have connected to a Sony Bravia XBR-65x930D TV, to which my Apple TV is also hooked up. Audio from both the TV and Apple TV plays on the Arc. When I connect PS3 (with/without being powered on) to the TV with a HDMI cable, however, audio plays on Bravia speakers, instead of Arc, and reverts to Arc when the same HDMI cable is disconnected from the TV. Need help resolving the issue. If not, I may have to return the Arc and a couple of Sonos One speakers. 

I have 2 new One speakers and have added them to my sonos system as a pair. I am trying to add them as surround sound to my playbar but the app does not recognize them for surround sound. They work fine as a pair of stereo speakers in the room but I got them to add for surround sound. Any suggestions?

Just have my first sonos speaker, the move.  Thinking of buying a sound bar, a suband another move. Can I play 2 move speaker as seround speakers in 5.1?

Audio: Sonos ARC SLTV: TC-55FZ950CConsole: Xbox Series XHello All,I cannot seem to get my Series X to detect the Sonos ARC SL as a Dolby Atmos device. I discovered a workaround where if I set my resolution to 1080p I am then able to set the audio to Dolby Atmos. Now that's fine and dandy, but I'm not willing to accept lowering my resolution to have this work. Can anybody please help me out? Thanks in advance.Regards,Chris       

Hello community. I'm excited to join the Sonos community having recently purchased the Arc, Gen 3 sub, and a more recently 2 x Play 1 SL. I have set everything up and it is playing excellent. My setup is the usual home theatre setup with the 1 SLs’acting as rear surround speakers. But what I wanted to also do, but can't seem to find a way to do it, and after searching the forum/google still no clear answer. Currently, all products are allocated to one room and they appear as arc+sub+rs+rlWhat I want do is in addition to using the SLs as surround, I also want to be able to use them, and them only as stereo speakers where they are placed. ie If I want to play music only through them and not the arc or sub, then to be able to do that. I have tried to create separate room, adding/removing different products etc, but to no avail. If I chose another room, and then chose "remove sub", it removes it completely from my system, and it doesn't even appear in the original room where everything was

I have Sonos Arc, Sub Gen 3 and 2x SL for surround sound. When I play sound through my TV its not that good but when I play through the app on my phone its brilliant!same song through TV and same through phone got huge difference in quality!!!does anyone know, what to do??? TV- Samsung Q80T- 2020 (Using e-arc)

I was forced to buy a Beam for my TV as I couldn’t readily connect my TV to my pair of Play1’s and Sub in the same room. I’d like to be able to automatically (or very easily switch) to have my Sub connect to whichever setup I’m using at the time, the TV and Beam or Music on my Play1’s. I realise I can go into the Sonos app and switch the sub but this is slow and awkward. Is there an easier way?

Had it working but apparently not with my email account, added 2 SL’s and can’t get the bass and playbase to play in sync

Hi. Started to get a crackling sound on loud scenes on my Sonos ARC, which is a few months old.Happened a lot today when watching ‘Journey 2 The Mysterious Island’ on Netflix TV app. Dolby Digital PlusSubmitted a diagnostic whilst it was happening - number 835660432Look forward to your help

I am messing around with my new Beam and decided to try them with a pair of Play3s that I have in my Kitchen.  I added them as surrounds, and set the music playback to “Full”.  It seems like they are both pushing out the same mono signal.  Is this by design or can I make them play in stereo without uncoupling them from the Beam and setting them up as a pair?Thanks people.

The beam is installed and wired to the TV (ARC). But it still says that the ARC-connection still is not set up properly….. I already use the beam to play Spotify from my iPhone but now I want to add the TV.

Hi everyone,  I've recently added two ones to create a suround sound for my television (I already had a beam and sub). First week it's been fine and then last night I settled down to watch The Mandalorian and to my horror only the beam was working. I have tried connecting all my speakers through an ethernet, I get the system working and as soon as I unplug, the other speakers disconnect. This is what I see.  Any suggestions would be welcome!  Thanks  

Hi, I have just purchased and set up a new Sonos Beam to my Samsung smart TV. I have linked the Samsung remote to the Beam and this seems to be working OK. I have also linked my two separate Sonos Ones to the Beam as surround speakers and they are also working OK, but only with the Sonos app.However, the Samsung remote (BN59-01315B) only seems to work with the Beam and has no effect on the One’s at all which stay the same volume, irrespective of whether I increase or decrease the Beam volume?I appreciate the Ones are primarily for a ‘surround’ effect but this means I that either I can’t hear them at all (when the Beam volume is increased), or they remain on when when the Beam volume is muted or turned down.Is there any way to resolve this, either via the Sonos app or via reconfiguring the Samsung remote.Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi! Help! I am starting to loose my mind here.For approx. the last year, I have had the same problem with my surround setup. Every time I try to add the 2 play:1's, it says there were a problem adding the surround speakers, and I need to check my internet connection, and that the products are turned on.But after this message, it seems in the app like it has been paired. But there isn't coming any sound from the rear speakers at all. When I disconnect the rear speakers from the surround setup, they both play music just fine. I have tried this a bunch of times, and it seems to work once in a while, but then the rear speakers stop playing after some weeks.  My setup is the Beam with 2 play:1. My router is in the same room, and the brand is "Tecnicolor".The diagnostic number I created is 1266293371. I hope you can help 😊

Hi,  just picked up a new Arc SL.  I already control my TV and do all my streaming via Amazon Fire TV cube, so didn’t see the need for built in voice assistant.  I got the Arc set up and it works well when I am streaming video via my Fire Cube from Netflix/ Disney/ Hulu.  However, when I try to stream music via my Fire Cube, there is suddenly no sound from the Arc.  I was under the impression that the Sonos Arc would play anything that was was input over the HDMI arc connection (I.e. if it’s on my TV and outputting via HDMI arc, it should be playing on the Sonos). Is this correct, or is the Sonos arc actively determining which input material it will play (I.e. it will play sound for streaming video, but will deny sound from streaming audio).I understand I can play Amazon music via the Sonos app, but want to understand why the Amazon Music which is on my TV is not playing over the Sonos. 

I don’t know when it started to happen but I only started realizing 1-2 months ago that the playbase’s sound is lower than my Samsung TV speaker at max volume by 1 or 2 clicks(using clicks as measurement. Each clicks represents you tapping the volume up or down on the playbase physically). I don’t think my TV is supposed to be louder than my playbase at max volume… can someone please tell me what I should do? I tried AirPlay on my phone too see if it was the TV’s fault and the playbase produced the same level of volume as when I test it through the TV… I am not sure

I have playbar sub and two Sonos one’s. my question is can I add two more Sonos one’s to my setup, and will they be surround or main speakers….

I recently purchased the Sonos Playbar at the Costco Store. I have a question when I click the remote “off” to turn the TV off will it also turn off the Soundbar.

Greetings,Does anyone know if it’s possible to set up a 4.1 system *wirelessly* with a Sonos Connect and a Sonos Amp? To clarify: The Connect would be wired (through a separate amp) to my tower speakers, sub, and TV. The Sonos Amp would be wired to my surrounds only (i.e., not wired to TV). Can the Connect and Amp coordinate surround sound for TV wirelessly in this way? Would be grateful for any guidance.Many thanks,a sonos newbie

Is it possible to setup Beam with Denon receiver wirelessly or bluetooth ?I am looking for options to avoid HDMI connection since the receiver is in different room and I trying to avoid wires running around the hometheater setup.

Do you have a delay?if so how would you resolve the issue?
