Hope I can get some help, I just bought a new Sonos play bar and sub. It was working fine but now I'm getting sound hickups with playing audio from my TV and Xbox one X. If I stream music from the play bar it sounds fine. I also noticed If I change my apple TV from 5.1 Dolby sound to stereo sound the issue goes away. I take it if I do the same on my xbox that will also fix the problem. I have a Sony 950g TV playing all the sound from the soundbar and sub. TV speakers are not on. I have tried a number of trouble shooting steps like change wireless channels, disconnect the sub, unplugged the soundbar and powered back up, unplug the optical cable and connected it back up. Not sure how to fix this. Changing it to stereo sound feels like i'm missing out on great sound quality. Any Ideas on how to fix this?

Hello, my Beam and two One's work fine but no sound on a UHD channel. Regards Terry

I have a two year old Sonos Connect. I use it to run the speakers in different zones throughout my house. I use the Sonos Connect, a Receiver, Insteon, Google Assist, and a modem to run everything. They are all located together in a closet. Can I run the sound from a new Samsung Smart TV through the Sonos Connect somehow?

I appreciate your feedback. I've a Epson 4010 4k projector and I would like to connect that to Sonos soundbar via using "Sonos - Female-To-Male Audio Adapter". Would this work? If not, do I need to get a HDMI switch box? what is the most easiest way to connect soundbar with epson 4010 projector?

I can’t connect 2 Sonos one speakers as surrounds to my beam. I keep getting an error. I’m able to pair the speakers together and group it with the beam but I can’t add them as surrounds through the app process.

I have success controlling Playbar volume with my Samsung remote except that the Mute function appears to be disabled. Volume is controlled on the Samsung remote by pushing what I will call a “paddle” switch up for increased volume and down for lowering the volume. Muting with the remote using TV speakers is achieved by depressing the “Paddle” (not up or down). Depressing the “Paddle” to mute the TV when the Playbar is engaged has no effect. The Mute function is critical for immediately silencing highly irritating commercials! Otherwise, it takes 3+ seconds to silence them on the Playbar by merely lowering the volume.

Music works just fine but when using the tv there is no sound. What can I do to fix this problem?

Hi All I have Pioneer AV (non-ELITE) receiver . I would like to integrate my 2 SONOS one speakers also to the existing AV set up. I'm not sure on what SONOS product would help me do that . Can you please help suggest if I need to go for SONOS CONNECT or SONOS Amp for integrating the systems? Thanks Logan

Hello, my sonos beam ARC cord is not quite long enough to properly plug into my TV. Is there an extension available?

Dear All, I am trying to use my newly bought Sonos Amp with an Philips TV (42PFL6805H), KPN decoder (Arris VIP2952 V2) and a google Chromecast. TV HDMI ARC out to Sonos Amp with a high speed cable. Unfortunately there's an delay between video and audio. Sync tool of the Sonos won't fix it, and no adjustments in the tv possible. Please, anybody ideas to solve this problem? Talking heads in talkshows are strange to look at, Blockbuster movies not much dialogue in a long shot so, then its acceptable. But Want to get it right.... Does a splitter HDMI matrix with two HDMI outputs (1 to tv, one to sonos) will solve this problem? Any help very much appreciated!

A frustrating thing: after a loud action scene I find myself having to turn up the volume top hear anyone talking. Apart from the enhanced vocal setting, how does one do this an easier way?

Hi Sonos fans. Does anyone know if Sonos will be launching a less expensive SUB in the near future? I have read that there a plenty of people who would buy a cheaper SUB, surely it's a no brainer for Sonos to release one?

I want to beef up the sound of my tiny 22inch Samsung smart tv as we live in our newly extended kitchen watching all our tv and listening to music I’m here and it doesn’t cut it. Is it a crazy idea to mount the beam vertically for space reasons?

Are there any plans to release a new Player/Playbase with HDMI ports?

Our new house is getting build and it now up to doing the internal wiring and we are reviewing our TV Surround Sound setup. Do we stick with the Sono Playbar, or replace it with the Sono Amp and put in in wall speakers. If you were starting again, would you just have your Playbar under your TV, or swap over to the Sono Amp with in wall speakers?

Is it possible to have my Roku player communicate with my Sonos amp so I can hear the Roku through the outdoor speakers? Both are on the same wireless network.

I have a 5.1 Playbar sub + two play5 I want to ask if something it’s coming I heard the speakers Dolby Atmos for make 7.1 that’s true ?

My Sonos Beam (attached to my Philips 55OLED803 via HDMI) had been randomly making screeching beeps (very short and randomly occurring). During one 50min Netflix episode it has been occurring some 20-30 times. So you can imagine this is very annoying. While googling it seems to be related to Alexa, but the Alexa service (nor the google one for that matter) isn't activated because it hasn't been available here in the Netherlands. We just bought it past Friday. We haven't loaded any programs on the TV, we only watch Netflix/youtube/digital tv via a media box on it. Edit: it's not when changing the channel and it's not as loud and long as here: http://youtu.be/6ZzoKlgkx74 Edit2: Diagnostic report 363072178

Hi - I have a Sonos Beam and 2 Play 1's with no sub in my average size living room. I think the sounds is generally great for my room, except for the Sonos Beam sometimes sounds muddled and a bit overworked when listening to bass heavy music or movies - it really produces better mid-bass sounds, especially at volume. I'd love to take some of the bass load off of the Play1's and the Beam. I want to add a sub, but for my space, the Sonos Sub is crazy overkill, I live in SF where our house touches our neighbors house - I don't think they'd love the sub. So my question - can I rig a Play 5 to act as a sub? I am sure if I add it to the mix, it will help with bass for music, but can this also be incorporated into movie/TV surround sound? Thoughts? and Thanks! Zulfi

Hi, just happily bought my sonos amp for my tv living room. My LE40D503F7W samsung tv doesn't have hdmi arc port, so how to i connect the amp to this? Attached a picture to see what is available, what kind of converter would i need if possible? Would like to avoid also having to get a new tv :) Chromecast that is connected now.

Hi everyone! I'm looking to buy a Sonos Beam to get the surround option for my Sonos system. Sonos supports surround in the form of the soundbar doing the FR, center and FL channels, and pairing up with two speakers as RR and RL. They don't support separate front speakers. I was wondering, why has no one grouped that "room" with another "room" consisting of a stereo pair, and then using that stereo pair as "real" FR and FL speakers? Could anyone try that for me, because I would like to know if it just works and if there's any trouble. It should be possible since you can pass along the stereo signal from the Beam to another room, and this would be fitting for the front channels. I wan't to space out the left and right front channels really far, so please don't tell me that "the soundbar spaces it out enough" 😃 That would give me "real" 5.1, but the front left and right would be doubled. Thanks a lot, appreciate your time in advance. EDIT: I contacted Sonos via Twitter,

I've had a Playbase for a while now, and is my only Sonos speaker in the house. I want to channel my turntable through the Playbase using the Connect. Ultimately I'll be adding additional speakers but want to start with the single Playbase. is this possible?

I am trying to solve an issue for a friend. Friend purchased Optoma UHD50 projector and installed it in his basement that has drywall walls and ceilings. Currently uses roku stick for HDMI input and now he wants to use a Sonos Beam. The projector has a 3.5mm audio out. I've found a 3.5mm audio transmitter/receiver kit that can deliver the 3.5mm audio out to the Beam Sonos but I also need to convert the 3.5mm audio signal to an ARC1 HDMI signal to input into the Sonos Beam. Does anyone know if this is possible or if there is a converter out that accepts a 3.5mm audio input and outputs HDMI ARC1? Thank you in advance!

I've a TV that support's eARC, and have already invested in Sonos around the house for music. I'm looking at Sonos AMP as the basis for building an AV solution for my TV. eARC has a number of benefits, however lip sync support might be the most significant. The question is, is Sonos going to update the AMP to support this, like some of the other manufacturers such Samsung and Sony are already doing? Thanks!

Good evening all I am going to be getting a Sonos Beam shortly and having had a trial run with a Panasonic soundbar I am certain that the Beam will assist my partner who does not have great hearing. However she does struggle with the loud crash and bang stuff that goes on in the background and the TV volume is constantly going up and down, so am looking forward to giving the Speech/nighttime options a whirl - but a couple of questions:- 1 - Is there a noticeable improvement in the clarify of speech and reduction in background audio when this function is enabled? The Panasonic soundbar we have tested has a speech function but marginal difference. 2 - I understand the Beam can be grouped with other sonos speakers to play the TV audio (not surround sound) - does the speech/nighttime mode settings get replicated in the other speaker (play 1 in my case)? 3 - Would it be weird to my partner if the grouped speaker was adjacent to her listening position playing the TV audio - so she would have
