I have a playbar connected to sonos boost and play 1s with sub gen 2 in my living room and a play 3 in my bedroom, I just got a Samsung 77sc95 OLED tv and playbar is showing its age now, I'm wondering if the sub gen 3 is necessary or worth it? Or are they functionally same, Would I still have best quality sound from my sub ?  I also have a sonos boost I use I'd rather keep speakers on their own network and not clutter my home. I considered samsung q990c and I use the sub next to my tv wired to the playbar and got no connection issues, But is atmos and all surrounds etc same quality on sub gen 2 as it is on 3? 

Hi everyone :)i have a question.i have sonos boost, Arc with sub gen3 and i upgrade surrounds to ERA100 . Q is:When wizzard add era100 to my system show connect to my 5ghz wifi. I add second era 100 wizard 5ghz to add speaker to 5ghz wifi. After complete wizard app ask for surround pair. I press ok surround done. I check in router sonos era 100 ip´s. Router show era is connected on 2.4ghz wifi. Why? I add era to 5ghz, 2.4 is differend ssid name with prefix 2.4ghz. Sonos era100 on about my system show:WM:3 ERAarc, boost, sub: WM:0 sonos era not support sonos net. But i see arc use special tunel for wifi and comunication with era ? Or how its work? Arc:   sub:era left: era right: Boost: 

Please help me with speaker positioning. I currently use Beam Gen 2 and Sub mini with my 43” Sony TV. My wife watches TV series and movies daily. I’m more in music, both streaming and vinyl records, from a vintage Thorens TT connected to basic Yamaha speakers. I would like to emphasise more the music reproduction and keep the HT functions. I added a plant of my room. First option:Should I go separating HT and music reproduction, still keeping in Sonos ecosystem, for example adding a pair of Era 100 or 300 connected to the turntable?In this setup, could the HT part be used to reproduce music at the same time (especially the sub mini)?Will this be beneficial giving the fact they will sits in the same room?Could the Eras be in use also when watching TV? Would it make sense? Would be an issue if the speakers will be placed close to the turntable, so both will be on the left side of the TV? Second option:Add a pair of Era 100 as surround, keeping the music reproduction only from streaming o

Quick question (I double posted this as I added to the original to the wrong forum, so now in Home Theatre). My wall/windows where the Sonos Era 300 speakers will be placed is at an angle (30 degree angle vs the 0 angle couch) so I would have the left rear channel closer to the corner of the couch and the right rear channel further away from the other corner of the couch. So essentially they would be the same height and length distance from the couch/listening spot but one rear speaker would be 3-4 feet behind the other one.Can true play tuning accommodate for this to create the proper surround sound bubble?Link to Floorplan 

Hey guys, Current Sonos setup - Arc & Sub Mini. Thinking to get Era 100s by 11/27 (great deal going on) Do you think surrounds add a lot of value? I would have loved to buy Era 300 for Dolby atmos but I feel they are super overkill and having middle drivers disabled when in surrounds, not worth it. Oh yes, an average apartment/condo living room. Thank you Sonos gang!

HiTrying to work out where the issue lies, with my LG oled or the Sonos ARC. Those that have an LG OLED and Sonos ARC and use passthrough / eARC settings on the TV when you play any Dolby digital 5.1 content via a device like the ATV4K does your Sonos app report multichannel pcm 7.1 ? If you have your xbox audio set to uncompressed 5.1 does the sonos app report multichannel pcm 7.1? Those that don’t have an LG OLED does your sonos arc output as multichannel pcm 5.1 for the above configurations? I’m just trying to work out where this issue lies once and for all, so I can report it. Thanks  

I have a soundsystem with arc and sub and two era 300, I have tried EQ in every possible way, manually and even several trueplay, but metal music sounds quite dissapointing i this system. It lacks of drum kick power or clarity, drums barely distinguish. It  feels like a plastic void sound. I find airpods sound better than a system that cost me thousands euros. Furthermor I have two Hércules monitors and a sonos move that sounds better. Now I can’t return my equipment because I bought few months ago, but experience so far is quite dissapointing. I invited some friends home to help me twitching EQ, but they have same opinion, sound quality is very dissapointing for the price.

Bonjour,Dans mon salon, j’ai une arc+sub+2 one pour le surround.Je m’aperçois que le sub ne fonctionne plus (il est bien connecté au système salon et couplé, en fonction..., il est bien allumé, l’appli le voit mais il ne fonctionne pas physiquement c-a-d il ne vibre pas).Je pensais qu’il était en panne et je l’ai donc couplet avec ma beam qui est dans une autre pièce et là, il fonctionne.Pouvez-vous m’aider car là je sèche?D’avance, merci.Belle journée. 

i have samsung tv that connected to beam 2 by HDMI to Earc until yesterday every thing work fine.after the update to 15.8 the beam refuses to connect to the tv. i talk with the support and we tried everything. the only way to get the beam to connect is unplug the power cable and plug it back every time i turn my tv this is the only way. since yesterday that what i do every time i turn my tv.its a nightmare sonos have to fix this issue.

arc microphone constantly turns off and off by itself with alexa and smart lg tv eARC connection.arc volume control always works with tv. 

Hi I have Sonos arc and sub and 2 ceiling speakers wired to connect amp. Ceiling speakers have been working no problem with music but since grouping them as surround sound on the app there is no sound coming from them. I have a Samsung frame tv and I don’t see any settings there to adjust. I saw a post earlier that suggested removing the Ethernet cable to the arc which I did.  thanks. 

The mega thread for TV info and suggestions is more than dead. I'm looking for people's experience with recently purchased TVs available at Costco that are ballpark 77" and have and success with the Sonos arc systems, cec, dolby atmos, etc. Anyone that has recently purchased one and has had success without all the problems we here about, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Was just wondering if it was possible to pair 4 era 300 speakers together with my arc and gen 3 sub. I already have 2 era 300s and was thinking about 2 more in the near future but wanted to know if 4 will play in atmos or in stereo

Hi, I have an Arc already setup. I purchased a Sub from eBay and I'm trying to set it up. When I try to reset, it blinks white, then white/orange. It is not turning to blinking green. I connected Ethernet cable and left it for like 15 min but same situation. I see the sub in my app but when I continue setup it says not detected. Does it mean it's not working anymore? Please suggest. Thank you. 

I see others have requested this several times.  Support says they sent it to the development team for consideration but no real reply on the status or if a consideration has even been discussed. I see you can do this via voice but not with ease for some users.   The problem is I turn on night sound and then forget that it's on for months reducing the quality of sound and my experience.  It would be great if you could schedule during the week Monday through Friday at one time and on the weekends for family movie time at a different time.  Simple feature like this would not only improve the entire family's experience but also improve quality of sleep for some.   Cheers!  

Hi ,  I connected my Philips 43PUS8848/12 through the optical spdif to my Sonos RAY.  When the TV is “Off” ; standby ; I just listen to the Sonos ( over Ethernet or WiFi) … and after a few minutes the RAY get’s  ( I think) an optical signal and switches to TV .. which is actually “off” . Very annoying.  what’s wrong ? Why the RAY switches to e optical TV while the TV is “off” ?  seph

I have the new Beam, play1s and a sub working with the LG TV. All generally works well, but I have found recently that if I turn off the TV, or if it goes into sleep mode, that the volume is set to zero on the beam (surround sound system) and needs to be manually turned up again using the TV remote. I am actually using an Apple TV in the setup, but the Sonos beam is connected to the HDMI ARC port. Like I said all works well, except this little niggle.. Anyone else seen this? Any ideas Sonos support team? thanks

Question regarding the rear speakers surround sound.Will there be any noticeable difference between using Sonos in wall architectural speakers vs in ceiling Sonance Mag6r’s?I initially planned on placing the architectural’s in wall behind the couch however, plans have changed and they need to be mounted in ceiling. I haven’t found any reason the rectangle in wall architectural’s can’t be placed in ceiling instead of swapping out for the circle ones meant for in ceiling? In searching I found the Mag6r’s are heavily discounted right now, so I’ve thought about switching to those. Any thoughts? key pointsroom has cathedral ceiling that’s about 10.5’ at peek, 8’ walls. room is 100% shiplap. room has several large windows as it overlooks a lake. rear speakers will be used with Sonos Arc and Sonos Amp.thanks

I just bought the Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable.  Can I use a wireless Sonos home theater system to listen or will I always need a line in speaker for this product?  

Bonjour, quelqu'un peut il me dire s'il  est possible de transférer le son sortant de mon projecteur à l'arrière de mon canapé, vers ma barre de son arc gen3 sans fil ?  Merci d'avance 

So I'm curious if anyone else lost Dolby Atmos ONLY in Prine Video after the 15.10 update? I have spent time wirh Prime and they claim nothing has changed on their end with the content or Apple TV 4k app, but I can play Dolby Atmos on every other service (apple TV 4k, Netflix, Paramount. Etc). Yet after the update all the content on Prime labeled Atmos is being played as multichannel 5.1. Anyone else experiencing this?

If your Sonos Arc and LG TV are not playing Dolby Digital Atmos, go to All Settings on your TV, then Sound, then Advanced Settings. On the respective input (e.g., HDMI 1) change it from the default PCM to BitstreamWhile you’re still on the screen in your Firestick setting screen for Audio and Video Diagnostics, you should see all the Dolby capabilities immediately change from No to Yes. 

My Playbar randomly cuts out. Internet signal is strong, but it happens with both Google Mesh and Eero mesh. I moved it from my upstairs to my basement and it seemed to work fine. Moved it back upstairs and it worked fine for a bit and then started cutting out again. Note that all areas of my house are on the same channel, so it’s not like moving from upstairs to downstairs should’ve changed anything.Neither the google mesh or Eero can change channels. The Eero automatically chooses the least cluttered channels, so this shouldn’t be an issue.I have four Sonos speakers on my upstairs floor - 3 play:1s and 1 Playbar. The former work fine and never skip. The latter will skip even though it’s only about 8 feet from the surrounds that do not. I could try to create a Sonosnet but CS told me that wouldn’t help because I’d need at least three wired devices. The only Sonos I can reasonably wire is one on my main floor since that is where the internet comes in. The eero hubs don’t have Ethernet
