Please somebody help me! I have my beam connected to my Panasonic TX-L50b6b with sky Q. I get sound when sky q audio is set to normal but when I select DD I get no sound at all? It is really frustrating as I’m not sure what else to do???? Thanks

I’m so disappointed, I just bought the beam today and have had major issues getting the audio to link up to the pictures ie. lip syncing issues. I bought this to have Dolby Digital and better emery’s I’ve sound and yet the only way I can get them to sync is to change the signal on Sky Q to normal loosing then DD. I have a Panasonic DX900 series so new tv. What’s the solution or do I need to return it as it’s not going to be fixed?

I just purchased an LG OLED B8 (OLED55B8PUA) and a Sonos Playbar. I’ve had a Sonos Play:1 for over a year and was excited to add an additional Sonos item. I’d done extensive research about TV and Soundbar selection and went with the Playbar over the beam because of the superior audio quality in a large room. After installing everything - including mounting the Playbar to a brick wall - I discover during setup that I won’t be able to use my LG remote to control the volume... that every volume adjustment will have to be made through the Sonos app. Annoying. Even more annoying to dig through support articles and discover that I could use my LG remote with the Beam. Suggestion - update the comparison matrix to indicate what specific TVs are compatible. If a product isn’t keeping up with the newest TVs - please note that a different product may be more suitable. I could probably have gotten over this if there was any volume to control. All connections are properly connected

Hi. I have Beam, Sub and 2 Ones as surrounds. Connected via HDMI to my Sony 4k TV is a Sony BDP S1200 blu ray. I've changed the Blu Ray settings to convert "DTS Audio to Dolby Digital audio for output" and set "Digital Audio Output" to "Auto", not PCM. According to the Sonos phone App, the sound I'm getting when the movie chapters are displayed is in Dolby 5.1. Certainly sounds like it. However, as soon as the movie starts playing, there's no sound at all. Change the settings to "convert "DTS Audio to Dolby Digital audio for output" and set "Digital Audio Output" to "PCM", and the intro still plays in Dolby 5.1.....But the movie plays in Stereo. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I recently purchased both the Sonos Beam and Sub after a lightning strike bricked my old sound system. My TV is an LG OLED55B7A. I have a Roku Premiere+, Nintendo Switch and a PS4 connected. Everything sounded incredible and having Alexa turn my TV off is the greatest thing ever. However, when I replaced my PS4 with a PS4 Pro, I lose sound to everything and the Sonos app is saying Simplink is not detected. This only occurs when the Pro is conntected, even if it's powered off. I haven't adjusted any settings from when it "worked" and have even tried factory rebooting the Beam and Sub.

Hello, I have a playbar, sub and two play 1 As rear surround. The play 1’s work when the TV is on however they are not working when playing music through the playbar from the app. On the older version of the app there was a setting under room settings to have the surrounds on when playing music from the app. This appears to have disappeared... any ideas?

This is hard to explain, but I will try. I have searched to the end of the internet and have not found anyone with our same issues. ;-/ We just purchased the Sonos playbar, two play1's (for rear channels) and the Sonos sub. Configuration: Pioneer Elite VSX-45 (currently set to HDMI Pass-through to TV - does not have an optical out) Pioneer Elite TV 60 inch (only passes DD5.1 through its optical out if using an internal app...everything else goes to stereo, so I need to be able to get the audio to the Playbar a different way) Comcast cable box (optical out direct to Playbar seems to work) LG Blu-Ray player (optical out direct to Playbar works when selecting Dolby Digital DVD track) Roku Premiere+ (no optical output, this has the option to select Dolby Digital as the output, however, no settings have an effect...) I purchased an audio extractor (J-Tech Digital 4K 60HZ HDMI Audio Extractor) to split the audio off of the HDMI and send it to the playbar First...it does n

I have a Roku Streaming Stick+ and I am not seeing it output Dolby Digital to my Sonos Playbar. My setup is as follows: - Panasonic Plasma 50" HDTV (not used for audio, video only) - Panasonic Blueray Player that has built in streaming capabilities, model DMP-BDT220 - Cable box = Google Fiber Set Top Box (STB) with HDMI out - Roku Streaming Stick+ - Sonos Playbar w/ 2 Play:1 and a Sub that gives me the ability to listen to 5.1 surround sound. - Monoprice or KanexPro HDMI Switchers (Monoprice MD-415ARC or KanexPro SW-HD4X1AUD4K) In order to get the 3 different HDMI devices to connect to the TV and surround system, I am using a 4 port HDMI switcher with a Toslink output. The STB, Blueray player and Roku SS+ are all connected to the switcher inputs via HDMI, the TV is connected to the HDMI output and the Toslink interface on the switcher is connected to the Sonos Playbar. The reason I listed 2 switchers is because I was trying to see if the switcher was the issue and it wasn't.

TV: Samsung UN55D7000 (2011 model year) Sonos: Playbar Streaming Stick: Apple TV 4k Hi all - hoping someone can help me with my current situation. We recently cut cable and picked up Apple TV 4k to watch Youtube TV, along with Netflix, and on occasion Amazon Prime. My goal here is to accomplish the best possible sound for my current setup - and assume that's DD 5.1? When we watch Netflix, we can get DD 5.1. However when we stream YouTube TV and Amazon Prime, I only see "Stereo" on the Playbar. Is there a way to get DD 5.1 on these as well? What I've done - in the Samsung TV Audio Settings>SPDIF Ouput>I can only select PCM and Dolby Digital is grayed out. - in the Apple TV settings, I changed the audio setting from Auto to Dolby Digital - Purchased a Monoprice HDX-401TA but had no luck. - currently I have the Samsung TV connected to the Apple TV from the HDMI DVI port. - Sonos Playbar is connected to Samsung TV's optical port. In closing, is there is a spec

Playbar volume control using LG Magic Remote and Sky remote

Hi! If I have set up Sonos Beam and two rear speakers (Play One, Play: 5 or even Connect with third-party speakers) for surround sound, what will reproduce each speaker if I watch stereo movie or youtube video with stereo sound (not 5.1)? Will rear speakers play regular left/right channel and if no is it possible to make them play it?

i have recently purchased a Sonos Beam and a single Sons One Speaker. I have connected both Speakers, but when i group the Sonos One (i only have the one speaker) with the Beam to enjoy TV sound, there is a distinct echo from the speakers - almost as if the Sonos One is slightly delayed. How do I balance the speakers to get a rich sound, I plan to (when i am able) to buy a second Sonos One, but in the interim I was hoping you could advise how I best balance the TV sound with the Beam and my single Sonos One?

I have a Sonos One, NON-smart TV, and a TaoTronics Bluetooth 4.2 Transmitter and Receiver. Does anyone know if I can stream the audio from my TV to the sonos one through the TaoTronics or something similar? How?

I have a Beam connected to a Panasonic via HDMI-ARC & Viera Link. Sometimes I want to use just the TV speakers but the the Beam won't relinquish control. I can select TV speakers in Viera Tools and they start up briefly, but then the Beam re-asserts control. I understand that if I've shelled out for a Home Cinema setup, I might be expected to want to use it, but I'd like to have the choice

Thinking of getting a sonos beam. Will it work using my tivo bolt remote and if so do i use the Denon code ? Thanks

Hi there, my tv is too old to have ARC or optical out so I brought an analog to digital converter and the sound cuts in and out. I tried different sound inputs and get the same issue. Please advise. Cheers

I have two Play 1's and one Play 5. I am wondering, how can I connect my existing TV to my Sonos system so that I can play sound from Netflix through my Sonos speakers? My TV is not a SmartTV. Is this possible or do I need to buy something else to connect them?

TV: LG 55LM7600 Sonos: Playbar + Sub + 2 Play Ones Cable Box: Xfinity Xi5 (wireless box) I'm not able to get 5.1 audio recognized in the Sonos app from my Xfinity box. When using the same HDMI port/cable, I'm able to get Dolby Digital 5.1 from my Xbox One. I've tried all the settings on my STB and TV and am still not able to get 5.1 with any program I try. Is this an issue with the cable box or is there something else I should try? I just don't understand why the Xbox One is capable of delivering 5.1 and my cable box is not.

Is there a fix for Samsung NU7100 HDMI ARC lag (video/sound not syncing)? I fixed it by using the optical cable.

Is Sonos planning a Playbar refresh in 2018? It'd be great to have a Playbar with updated look matching other Sonos speakers.

Hi, I have an older 2013 Samsung - UN55F7500 that I do not believe can passthrough 5.1 via it's HDMI ARC port (I know for a fact it can't with optical). I know that there are HDMI switches that can extract audio from HDMI sources and send it to an optical connection - and plan to use this as a backup option for my upcoming Beam purchase if necessary (with the included adapter) - but what I'd really like is some solution that can keep HDMI working across the board so CEC works correctly. Is there a switch, splitter, or something in place that could extract audio and send it to the Beam via HDMI, while sending the video to the TV? My theory is something like: Beam --> HDMI Switch (which would also have PS4, Apple TV, etc. all hooked to it) --> TV HDMI ARC port Any thoughts on a device that might work this way - or am I going to probably be sticking to optical until I upgrade my TV?

Hi. I have a Playbase that was working fine for awhile. However, the past several weeks, I've been trying to figure out where a vibrating/rattling effect was coming from, particularly with certain types of dialogue. I discovered that the vibration stops when I lift the TV off of the Playbase. It is difficult for me to reposition it very much, because the footprint of the TV stand takes up much of the surface of the Playbase, although there is a little bit of wiggle room (maybe an inch or two, front-to-back). Does anyone have any suggestions? Perhaps a way to "cushion" it or something? Thanks!

I made a decision to buy a sonos beam, but if i read the futher details i see that the beam onl works with the apple tv gen 4 ?? So is there anybody wo can tell me if the generation 2 apple tv also works?

I am moving into my new house in a few weeks and I am buying the TCL 65' 6 Series that just came out and I want to get a Soundbar for it in my living room since I don't want wires running all over. Guy at work recommended it so I went to BestBuy to listen to it and it sounded awesome with the Subwoofer. I have a few questions though. My room is 14X10 rectangle shape with tv and couch on furthest walls. I am assuming this will be enough? I want it to be loud and crisp. I typically just watch tv and listen to music from ITunes and occasional movies. ITS Roku tv so I will be streaming YouTube Tv for my cable needs and Netflix from the Roku tv as well. Will I have any issues with Dolby or DTS or any of that stuff? Thought I read somewhere here that if you run a show with DTS you wont any sound from speakers??? any help for a newbie would be appreciated. thanks

Hi. I am running a playbar and a sub, and obvisouly I cant get true 5.1 sound, but I was wondering if they receive a 5.1 input does it do some processing of the sound to try and emulate 5.1, or will it sound exactly the same as if it receives a stereo input? Reason I ask is the sound quality is noticibly best when I watch netflix in 4k (and I can see that sonos is receiving a 5.1 signal), but maybe this is just because it is 4k? When I used my Humax PVR or Xbox it only receives a stereo signal as it's passed through the TV and out to playbar, so never receives a 5.1 signal - but as I'm only using a playbar and sub would it sound any different it I could get it to output in 5.1? Thanks
