Home theater

I have the Sonos Beam currently connected to my TV via eARC for PS5, Netflix, movies etc. I am switching out my TV next month for the LG C1, and as this is a top gaming TV, I will also use it for PC gaming at 4K upto 120hz.For my PC to detect my Sonos as 5.1, I need a new sound card that will encode and decode 5.1 Dolby Digital. Then I will plug in the beam via optical to my PC, using the HDMI to Optical adapter. However this means unplugging the HDMI from Beam -> TV.If I buy a HDMI Switch, then have one HDMI cable to the TV, plug the HDMI to Optical adapter in the other slot, with an Optical cable to my PC, will this allow me have the Dolby Digital 5.1 sound for my PC gaming while also controlling the volume with my TV remote?

Any plans to add true 7.1 setup capabilities to the beam or arc?I would love to be able to add 2 more speakers as Front Left and Front Right Sourrounds turning the beam into a center speaker 🔊 Would be great if we see this coming in 2022

Just got my Sonos Arc. I have a 2020 Samsung Q8DT Tv from Costco. I’m planning on setting up my arc in next few days.I have read on here that a lot of people have had connectivity and sound issues with the Samsung TV…weather the sound cuts out or they are not getting the Atmos sound. I called tech support for Sonos and they say issues have been fixed.Does anyone have any info or update on this situation as I’m hoping not to have any problems when I set up the speakers?  I have an eArc HDMI port 

I want to add a 2nd Sub to my Arc (Gen 3), 2 SL (Gen3) and Sub Gen (3) system.  I know I need a minimum Gen 3 Sub to add a 2nd sub (which I have) but could I buy a 2nd hand Gen 1 Sub and add that in ?

Hi. hope someone can help cause this is driving me mad.I have a Sony Bravia tv, I have a Sonos beam attached to it via arc. Everything was working as it should until last week. I had to take tv off the wall for decorating to be done. I’ve reconnected everything today and I’m having some serious issues.Initally I was unable to get the beam to see the tv despite the tv recognised the arc was attached.so I reset the tv and beam, the beam then connected until I plugged in something else ie sky with an hdmi cable. Then the sound drops out of the beam despite being connected on the app.  Ive replaced both hdmi cables from the sky box and the beam, still no sound from the tv when connected to the beam..I feel like I’m going mad. Particularly when it was working perfectly a few days ago..please help….

Which setting should I use for ps5 or Xbox is multi channel pcm the better of the audio formats or do I change it to compressed

I have set up an Amp with a set of tower speakers and sub to a secondary TV, and I am seeing Stereo PCM in the Sonos screen.  Is this the correct audio output I should be receiving?  Dolby Digital and DTS are greyed out on my TV, so all I am able to click is Auto.  I am assuming that since I only have two speakers (plus sub), that stereo is correct?  Or am I missing something that would allow DD?

deseo saber si sonos AMP ha tenido diferentes referencias con el paso de los años o si es única el modelo y referencia actual. Esto con el fin de no ir a comprar un producto obsoleto 

Hello.  I have a Sonos Arc, Sub and 2 ONE rears.  I have no problem with surround sound coming from the rears using the TV (2.0, 5.1 or Atmos) and other devices eg mobile phone.  However, when I play a DVD through my Sony 4k Blue ray player, I don't seem to pick up much sound through the rear speakers even when the DVD I'm playing says 5.1 surround etc.  Am I doing something wrong?  Thanks. 

LG CX with latest update; Arc/Sub/Ones setup 14.0.4; and Apple TV 4k 15.3. All of these had recent updates. I now get no Dolby Atmos everything is MC PCM 7.1 not even with Apple Music anymore. I never was able to get any 5.1 Dolby versions. Any ideas what happened and how to fix? LG has pass through and eArc with Apple TV hdmi being bitstream and eArc hdmi 2 blanked out showing pcm with me unable to change. Apple TV settings haven’t changed but I am unsure if I am missing something there.  also it is really soft, like everything. I have to turn up volume to 70/80% to hear anything. 

Has anyone noticed a metallic/tinny/robotic sound from their Beam since the recent update?

Hi team , quick question , the Sonos hdmi cable I have for my beam 2 is too long , the beam sits in front of my TV and basically goes under the TV  to the hdmi socket , is it possible to coil up the hdmi cable and secure it with a velcro cable tie Or can I use any other shorter hdmi cable ?? Thanks 

I can hear the sound effects when playing Dolby Atmos music on Amazon Music Unlimited or on movies that support Dolby Atmos but that is only on the horizontal plane.I think that the 2 upward firing speakers only become operational when Dolby Atmos audio is being played?If true I can't seem to be able to hear the upward firing sound i.e. in the vertical plane no matter what level I set the Height Level bar from -10 to +10Anyone else experience this?By the way I can't use the Trueplay feature as I only have Android devices, a smartphone and tablet.Would this have anything to do with it?Cheers 🍻 

While watching a Viaplay serie today the Sonos Arc started to translate the spoken stream to russian with a small delay. Anyone else experienced this issue recently.

Hi all , the hdmi cable that comes with the beam gen 2 , is it an ethernet hdmi cable ?? The eArc hdmi input says it needs a hdmi cable with ethernet , thanks 

I got Samsung QE65QN85A paired with new ARC. I have to set the volume at around 60% for a normal listening.Is it normal for the arc? my previous samsung soundbar was much louder. submitted diagnostics 2090418864

I have read that Stereo PCM is a uncompressed stereo channel and therefore I am curious as to how the Arc soundbar sometimes diverts sound to the surround speakers.It also happens when playing Dolby Digital 2.0I thought that only when playing Multichannel or Dolby Digital 5.1 channels was this possible?Perhaps someone could explain 🤔 Cheers 🍻 

Can anyone confirm that the only way to wire connect:amp speakers for surround with an Arc is to have the arc hardwired with ethernet to the router or a connect amp?  it seems to defeat a main benefit of sonos wireless capabilities.  this is from an article on the subject. I am deciding on an Arc home theater and it will require extra wiring if the article is accurate. Thanks Wire your Connect:Amp and home theater speakerYour home theater speaker and Connect:Amp must be wired in one of the following configurations:Both the Sonos home theater speaker and Connect:Amp are wired to the router with an Ethernet cable.   The Sonos home theater speaker is wired to the Connect:Amp with an Ethernet cable and another Sonos product is wired to the router.

Love my Sonos one SL speakers without microphone for security reasons.Is there a Sonos Beam without microphones as well?  If not can you kind folks please add it to your wish list?

Question  withdrawn 

Hi, can anyone please help with connecting a pair of sonos fives to my tv? I know you can plug a 3.5 jack into the back of the speaker but my tv does not have that sort of connection. Is there any way to go around this as I want to be able to play for example youtube videos through my sonos five speakers. 

I'm fairly certain this has been discussed before, but I need a definitive answer.I have an Arc w/ 2 Ones acting as rears for surround sound that are connected via ARC (not eARC - the TV doesn't have it) to my 2017 Samsung Series 6 (model no: UN55MU6290) which is also connected to my PS5.Notably, my Samsung does not have an eARC connection. I think this may be the culprit.On my PS5, I have the following config: HDMI Device Type: AV Amplifier Number of Channels: 7.1 ch (issue also occurs when on 5.1 ch) Audio Format: Dolby On my Samsung, I have the following config: HDMI Input Audio Format: Bitstream Digital Output Audio Format: Dolby Digital The Sonos app is telling me that the Audio In is Dolby Digital 5.1. This is great, but there is a .5 second delay upon input and sound output. All other apps I run through my Apple TV 4K have zero delay and sound great.My question are: Is my TV too old and not powerful enough to process all the data for PS5 audio in a timely manner? Am I mi

I have a Beam 2, couple of Symfonisks, linked to  u65g - 2021 model with eARCUsing Apple TV 4K and the Google O/S on the TV itself my Sonos App says ‘Atmos’ where appropriate BUT the TV does not. That’s pretty condusing. Am I or aren’t I?I have Hi speed HDMI’s, sound is set to ‘pass through’ on the TV and the Apple TV is set to match frame rate, Atmos enabled etc.I think I’m getting Atmos and the above settings are definitely the best for day to day - but can someone tell me why I don’t get a confirmation from the TV? Also - sometimes when ‘turning on’ it is impossible to control the volume bar mute or what it was the night before. I have to perform several ‘on/offs’ before it works??Thanks in advance 

Hi everyone.  Here is my setup: LG C1 (just bought!)Sonos Playbar (getting the Arc later this month)Sony UBP-X700 I tried out a few discs and noticed that I cannot get many of them to play surround sound.  Instead it outputs as PCM. I have changed all of the settings on the player and the TV without any luck.  I am able to get Dolby Digital. I did a fair number of searches and found that this is a known challenge with this configuration. My questions: Will I have better luck with the Arc arrives and I switch to eARC?  Will it be able to handle more of the DTS tracks that many of my discs have? If not, what would be a recommended player to get instead?  I can still return this one. If there isn’t a solution for getting surround sound, are there any ways to at least get faux surround sound?  Will fake surround sound improve with the Arc compared to the Playbar?Thank you! Charles
