Home theater

I have just bought a new Samsung TV and it connects and works ok with my Sonos Playbar, connected via an optical cable. The TV smart remote will not however control the volume on the Sonos Playbar. I think that the only way for this to work is via the HDMI/ARC connection. The Playbar however doesn’t have an HDMI connector. Can anyone suggest any way of solving this, (other than upgrading to a Sony ARC!)? Is there an Optical to HDMI adapter out there that might work to solve this?

As the title says - I am having issue getting ATMOS to passthrough Samsung QN75Q7DRAF to SONOS Arc from Sony - UBP-X800M2 The Samsung does NOT have eArc only Arc - I had an AppleTv 4K which I discovered will not pass ATMOS through to reg arc only eArc - anyone know if the Sony has the same issue?   I have searched other threads and made the changes on the Sony Blu-Ray and still no luck Built in TV Apps like AppleTV/Disney etc DO send ATMOS mix to the Sonos Arc, and if I use Sonos App, I get ATMOS from both AppleMusic or Amazon Music. This all frustrating because I am trying to go more minimalist and got rid of a Denon AVR3500, Polk floor standers & center channel and an Outlaw LFM-x1 sub to go all Sonos - Really going to suck if the TV is the now the weak link in the chain! I don't see any updates that were made by Samsung to upgrade the ARC port to eARC (if even possible) Is there any kind of adaptor that could fix this? 

I have an XGIMI horizon pro 4K projector and newly bought a Sonos Ray. How can I connect my connector with the Sonos Ray sound bar wirelessly?  I just did some research, and it sounds like Sonos Ray doesn’t support bluetooth. Is there any alternative way?

Are there any plans to add more than just two speakers to surround? This feels really limiting for some rooms. 

I have just swapped over from a LGTV C9 to a LG TV B3 I thought the setup was the same but Ive got no sound to Sonos beam on the optical port has anyone else had the same issue 

Hi allI recently purchased Samsung S95c which has the OneConnect Box.I have a combination of Sonos Arc and 2 Sonos One for rear sound.I have Sonos Arc connected via HDMI 2.1 AUDIOQUEST Pearl 48 cable to the HDMI 3 eARC port on the Samsung OneConnect box. I enable the eARC function and it works at the beginning. After some time, sound drops out and TV goes to TV sound. After a couple of seconds it goes back to eARC. If I disable eARC, this does not happen.TV is running latest SW 13.10.3 and Sonos Arc is running 15.11.I have also tried with HDMI cable that came with Sonos Arc and it had the same issue.Has anyone been able to resolve this? Thanks

I just received the Ray bar. My television is an older Samsung that does not have an optic cable connection. Does anyone know of any solutions? I’ve found an optic connector with RGB connectors and wonder if anyone is aware of something similar as a solution? Thanks!!

I have an Arc and the mic turns on and off without warning at random times. It makes a tone every time this happens. It does it with music or the tv. I called sonos and got a replacement, but that didn't fix the issue. How is this happening with a capacitive touch button when nothing is touching it? Is the device just designed horribly and there is no fix?

Recently hearing static noise through beam especially bad on BBC channels through Sky Q box. Diagnostics ********** Moderator edit: diagnostic number recorded and removed

I have seen this issues in many forums where Sonos ARC is not able to play Dolby Atmos content from Apple TV (3rd Gen) or other devices like roku, xbox etc. Not that there is a sizable population struggling to find a solution this problem. Has anyone been able to get any resilution ?My Setup: Apple 4K → Epson 1100S (HDMI In) → Epson eArc Out → Sonos eArc InAppleTV Setup: Video HDR10+, Audio Dolby Atmos (Or No HDR)Issue: Sound Skips to almost NO soundHigh Quality ethernet enabled HDMI cables (24Gbps) used for all connectionsI have been waiting for 5 months now to find some resolution. We paid for Dolby Atmos would like to get 100% out of our cost. This seems to be some cheating on SOnos side that they are not addressing the issue.

I just bought 2 Sonos play:5 gen:1 and I wanna use it as stereo for my tv setup.  but i don’t know how ….😅

what is the function of TV Autoplay and why would i want to choose it or not?

With the rumours building of an upcoming Video Streaming Set Top Box or Stick, I'm really excited about the potential this device could bring.  My feature request is, if Sonos do launch a Set Top Box or Stick, that it enables Wireless connection to Sonos devices (no need to connect Soundbar by HDMI). I also really hope it opens up the option to not have to use a Soundbar at all for Home Cinema and be able to wirelessly connect Sonos Speakers instead.egFront Left One/100/300, Front Right One/100/300Rear Left One/100/300, Rear Right One/100/300 I use Sonos for Music so prefer the stereo separation of 2 Sonos Speakers over a Sonos Soundbar. But would like the option to use the Speakers for my TV Audio aswell. Currently not an option. Please Sonos, utilise your introduction of video hardware to its full potential and provide us with the above functionality. 

Hi,We want to gather some details from people experiencing issues with playback of 7.1 LPCM audio streams on a Sonos Arc or Beam (Generation 2), via an LG television set. Specifically, when channels are playing from the wrong speakers - for example, but not limited to, if you hear dialogue only coming from the rear speakers, consistently.If you have experienced this channel mis-mapping, please provide, in this thread, the following details:Your LG TV model numberYour media source device name and model number or TV app that the issue was noticed on, and the name of the movie/show that was affectedModels of any other HDMI devices connected to the TV (if applicable)The confirmation number of a Sonos system diagnostic submitted while the affected media was playing and 7.1 LPCM was reported in the Sonos app.Thank you for your assistance.  

Hello, I'm a noob (ie.clueless) when it comes to audio.Sonos have 30% off upgrade offer and I'm tempted to get a Beam 2 to replace my Beam gen 1. The arc is out of my price range :(So, I have a LG TV with eARC, but I watch all my movies via streaming with Apple tv. Streaming means there would be no eArc difference on that front, right?I also have PS5 and Xbox Series X and I'm wondering would the Beam 2 give me much improved audio over the og beam for the consoles? Would eARC make any difference there?What, if any others advantages would the Beam 2 give me?I have two rear Sonos ones for surround in my setup, as well. If that makes any difference.Thanks for any advice!

Hi everyone. I have two Sons Play:1 speakers and a Sonos Beam. I want to connect these to my Samsung Smart TV and use them as a surround sound system. I have been able to set them up as surrounds on the Sonos app but can only get the Beam to connect to the TV. Is it possible to get all three of my Sonos speakers to connect to my Samsung TV?

Can I connect Sonos Era 300 and Sub Mini on Apple TV 4K?

I want a small back speake to fill in the sound from my soundstage and will connect to my network easily !

Hi, my setup is: HDFury Vrroom, Panasonic UB820, Sonos Arc, Epson Projector. The settings on UB820, under “Digital Audio Out”: 1) Dolby: bitstream, 2) DTS: bitstream or PCM (same result), 3) Secondary Audio: Off or Auto.  When I play DTS-HD bluray, I get no sound.  On the Sonos S2 App, it says “silent 7.1”.  If I switch the Secondary Audio (on UB820) to ON, I get DTS Surround 5.1.  However, if I play Dolby Atmos bluray, I only get Dolby Digital 5.1, and no Dolby Atmos.  I can only get Dolby Atmos, if I set the “Secondary Audio” to Off.Any help is appreciated.Thanks!

Hi there,I have 7 pre existing ceiling speakers spread out through my upstairs floor. 2 in a screened room. 2 in kitchen. 2 in living room. 1 in master bathroom. Each are has wall mounted volume control with all 7 speakers feeding to a receiver in the living room. I’m interested in connecting through Sonos but unsure what unit or units I would need to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Se podría conectar mi Sonos one a una android tv or escuchar la tv por el altavoz Sonos!?

How do I get these to work? No matter what i do I can not get any luck. No luck with being a Sunday and customer service being closed

Ok so my setup has several network SONOS AMPs and speakers throughout the house. i also have Samsung TVs I’d like to have the TV’s playing the videos Spotify delivers while audio is provided by the Amps. I’m I just too far ahead in terms of what’s possible?

Hi guys, are you able to add the Sonos Arc and Sub Gen 3 speakers to an AV Receiver?I have an Onkyo TX-NR626 which seems to have a lot of functions. I am not looking to simply use the Sonos app via the amp, my objective is to use the Sonos Arc Soundbar as centre speaker and the Sub Gen 3 as a Subwoofer as surround speakers with the AV Onkyo amp instead of buying traditional Speakers.Thanks,Kens.

Setup:  LG OLED C2 TV + Arc SL + two One SL surroundsProblem:  Within 2 seconds of changing sound output from the Arc SL to the TV Speakers, automatic return to the Arc SL.Sonos App → TV Autoplay → OFF No other external devices to simplify debugging Unable to disable SIMPLINK (HDMI-CEC) on TV.   Automatically Turns ON within 2 seconds of turning OFFWorkaround:  Pull power cord off the Arc SL and then switch sound output on TV
