Help please. Sony Bravia 7 + arc + Panasonic UB820 4K. Could someone please let me know what the correct Dolby Atmos settings are for these 3 units.I have the correct Hdni cables.Your help would much appreciated. All the best.Greg. $

Would it be okay to mount the Arc above a 98 inch TV I just purchased?  It will be sitting on the floor with the provided legs which I believe have about 3.5 inches of clearance below the TV.  The only option I see it to mount it above.  I keep reading don't but it's always a TV that's wall mounted and would be much higher than my situation.

Hello, I was wondering if it’s possible to play sound through the Sonos Arc and the Sonos Ace at the same time. My friend likes louder sound so he’d like to listen using the headphones while I would listen using the soundbar.

Hi allthe situation with the volume of Arc Ultra when streaming music is getting a bit ridiculous. At a volume of 20 I can barely hear any music. I also have a Sonos Amp, connected to 2 small speakers (Dali Oberon 1), and at 20 the volume there is quite nice, at 40 they blow up the room I’m in. At 40 the Arc Ultra is just getting started.Of course this is streaming specific -- when playing from a TV source, a volume of 20 on the Arc Ultra is more than adequate for my needs. The difference of volume when streaming to the Ultra vs. playing spotify through the TV (either with my TV app, or with AppleTV) is remarkable.I keep hearing that this is partly due to normalization -- but this doesn’t make sense. If Sonos implemented some logic to lower the volume due to normalization, surely such logic would be applied to the Sonos Amp as well.So, unless the “normalization” logic is specific to Arc Ultra, I think this is not a “feature”, but a bug -- and quite an anno

First time using a soundbar. Is it normal to have some delay on lip sync?

The arrangement I have for my 83” wall mounted TV will allow me to either wall mount the Arc Ultra at the suggested 4” below the bottom of the TV or, I can simply place it on top of the console which would be about 7” below the bottom of the TV.  Ascetics, cost, and effort aside, is one preferred over the other for best sound?  In case it matters, the front surface of the TV is about 2.5” forward of the wall.

I set up a small system for my living room that I intend to grow. I loved it so much that bought a second system, this time with the arc ultra with the intention of passing the Beam set-up to my husband for his TV room upstairs. This is what I have:Living Room -1 Arc Ultra -2 Era 100s-1 Mini SubLG C5 TVUpstairs TV Room-1 Beam 2 -2 Era 100s-1 Mini SubLG C4My router is in the living room And it’s the standard router supplied by my cable company and everything is wireless.The controller is on my phone and that’s where I’d like to keep it. The sound bar was originally intended Improve voice clarity for my husband so I could keep buying him at a tolerable range for me when we watch TV together. and also like the option for us to be able to watch TV separately. My first challenge is that audio from his system was playing downstairs in the living room. That tells me something’s wrong and befor

I have a  new Apple TV 4k box along with a two year old LG C2 tv.My Sonos  stuff consists of 1st gen Beam a couple of six year old speakers and a sub thats about 5 years old.All working fine along with Amazon Fire Cube and an Android box.The problem I have is I cannot get 5.1 sound from the Apple only pcm stereo..I have followed various online guides but no luck so far.Hopefully someone on here can help?

Tengo una barra de sonido sonos arc sl cuándo quiero registrarla en la aplicación nó me la detecta si no está conectada al cable Eternet pero cuando la conecto al cable si la detecta la aplicacion cuándo la quiero añadir dice preparando la barra y luego me dice se ha perdido la conexión con sonos arc sl asegurate de que sonos arc sl este encendida le pico volver a intentar y me dice buscando barra arc sl y me sale un mensaje que dice No se ha podido configurar tu Sonos Arc SL. Desconecta el cable de alimentación, vuelve a conectarlo e inténtalo de nuevo. Y el problema sigue saliendo 

Just installed a Sonos Arc Ultra below our TV (77” Sony A80J) in a room that is 20’ x 15’ (TV on the 20’ wall).  Trying to decide whether to add two Era 100s and perhaps a Sub-Mini, and thought I’d check here to see if there is a consensus how much the Arc Ultra benefits from adding Era 100s?  And, would adding a Sub-Mini add more to the Arc Ultra sound experience?  If adding Era 100s, can they be added to the front far left and right corners of the room, or should they go to the rear corners (which would cause them to be mostly in line with viewing/sitting positions rather than behind).Thanks and Happy Holidays!

I have a Sonos Arc connected to my Samsung 4k TV, sorry I don’t have the specific model number.  I have my Arc soundbar connected through the TVs HDMI Arc port.  I have a Metra HDMI splitter plugged into my only other HDMI port.  I have my cable box and previously had an Xbox one through the splitter.  For years things worked great, no issues.  We just got an Xbox series X.  Since setting this up I’ve noticed that my Arc seems to not be recognized by my Samsung and my TV will revert to the TV speakers, at times I will get no audio from the Xbox.  I can fix it by unplugging the splitter from the other HDMI port, then once the Arc is recognized by the TV, almost immediately, then I can plug back in the splitter to the other HDMI port and things work great until for a while.  I’ll come back an hour later and same issue.  I have pass through on and Dolby atmos turned off on the Xbox.  Any ideas for a permanent fix?  I’ve tried power cycling everything.  I can’t seem to find a fix that w

I've connected my Beam and two ERA 100 speakers (without surround, just the two ERAs in stereo). I would like to manage everything as one system. However, when I adjust the volume on my TV, only the Beam responds. Is there a solution to control the entire system with my TV remote?

I am planning to change my setup on the Sony Bravia A80J. Currently, I have signal issues, likely caused by the Hue Sync Box, so I want to remove that and connect my consoles directly to the TV.The problem is that the TV only has two HDMI 2.1 (120Hz) ports:HDMI 3 (eARC) - Currently used by the Sonos Beam Gen 2.HDMI 4 - Currently used by the Hue Sync Box.I need both of these ports for my gaming consoles to get 120Hz. To make this work, I am looking for a specific HDMI switch that has an eARC extractor/pass-through function.My goal is to plug the Sonos Beam into this switch rather than directly into the TV's HDMI 3 port, effectively freeing up that port for a console while still getting audio. I don't mind losing full Dolby Atmos support; standard Dolby is fine, as long as I can still control the volume with my TV remote.Could you let me know if there is a switch that allows this specific configuration?

I want to create a 5.1 surround setup. I have a Sonos Arc Ultra, a Sonos Sub (Gen 4), and a Sonos Amp with two ceiling speakers. When I play regular music, all speakers work fine. However, when I watch a Netflix movie with Dolby Atmos or a YouTube video with surround sound, the ceiling speakers don’t do anything. Only The sub and arc ultra works. What am I doing wrong? Or is this setup simply not possible?

I recently upgraded my bedroom setup with an Arc (thank you to Sonos refurbs on eBay) and Era 100 surrounds (already had a sub mini) and I absolutely love it.But… my old Hisense 4k tv only has an arc, not earc, so no atmos for me at this time.With potential xmas sales on the horizon, I’m looking to upgrade the tv to something that will pass atmos from my ATV - are there any particular brands I should/should not consider (I’m currently considering lower priced mini led or Oled from TCL, LG, Philips or Samsung)?Having read several posts on here, I get the feeling that simply having earc may not be enough? Also, does the tv need to support atmos itself? My guess is no, as it will be routing the audio directly to the arc?Thank you!

Hi folks, I’ve recently upgraded from a Sonos Beam Gen 1 to a Gen 2 and have a query about Dolby Atmos effects. The Sonos Beam Gen 2 is located in our lounge, which has a roughly 10-foot high ceiling with a light fitting on the middle that hangs down slightly. At the moment I can’t seem to hear any rear or overhead sounds when playing Dolby Atmos content. I’ve used Trueplay to set up the soundbar, but does anyone have any recommendations for possible Height Level audio settings, please? I’m not sure whether to go lower or higher in those settings (or leave them at zero) in order to pick up any overhead or surround sounds. Thanks in advance! Matt Moderator edit: Changed Gen 1 to Gen 2 for clarity

I would like to have a feat request for beam gen 2 and Era 100 as surrounds to support true play (quick tune) as per here   Thanks!

Hello!Just bought Arc Ultra and hit a problem, probably, with a broken speaker, producing crackling sound at a certain frequencies on the right side. I've asked Sonos Support and they have, after a long conversation, escalated the issue higher to some technical team. It's been more than two weeks now, and I still got no response, however I have contacted support several times, they never were able to say when that technical team will contact me.The product is quite new, I should have 30 days free return warranty - maybe I should request returning the product instead of hoping on sonos support to do a warranty case?I have a case number, but cannot do anything to check its status. Kind of a weird situation, especially considering that the product already came defective to me.What should I do?The Arc Ultra was bought as a part of a TV bundle with two era 100s, they work fine. Will I be able to return just Arc alone?Any help is appreciate

I have a sonos amp that currently powers, and its situated across the room from where my TV is. All of the inwall speaker wires are at the location of the amp, that’s why its there. I am wondering if I were to purchase a sonos sounbar system, would I be able to connect the amp to the soundbar wirelessly to power my surround sound speakers? Connecting the soundbar to the amp via a cable is out of the question. They are both on the same network, however its wifi. I could use ethernet but I’ve actually had better compatibility with having the amp on wifi due to having several other era 100 and era 300 speakers on the same network via wifi. I read that if one device is on wifi, they should all be on wifi.

recently purchased an Arc and replaced my beam. Everything states the same by using physical Ethernet to connect all devices. However, after I set up the surround sound, I noticed those rear Sonos ones behind me getting cutting sound. Here is my diagnosis code: [redacted] Moderator Edit: Recorded and removed diagnostic number

Hi the problem I have is what is in the title, when I stream music directly to Sonos Arc I can control the volume using the TV remote, but only if the TV is off, if the TV is on but the source is still set to a streaming service or AirPlay the TV remote is not able to change the volume. I have an LG G1 and use the magic remote.

can arc ultra be mounted to TV using same mount as arc first generation

Am I right in  thinking that Sonos Play1 can be used in separate rooms but not as surround speakers with arc ultra sound bar? Connected using wifi not Airplay 

Hi! I’ve bought a new TV (Samsung Q7Fa) which doesn’t have an optical out. I’ve read that I need a HDMI ARC to Optical adapter/converter. I also wan’t to be able to control the playbar volume with the TV remote. Does anyone have a suggestion for an adapter that will work? Thanks in advance! 

Bonjour je vais acheter une arc ultra et je me demande si il y a besoin d'effectuer un rodage ? Merci d'avance.
