Can you use 1x sonos one and 1x sonos one sl as your rear surrounds with an Arc?

Hi,anybody knows if I can pair ARC with two ONE (no ONE SL) to create a surround set up?Additionally: if I setup two ONE (or two ONE SL) to work with ARC, will I be able to continue to use them as direct output devices for, e.g., spotify or Apple Music or do I need to reconfigure them every time? I mean: once linked to ARC are the ONE still available for streaming from my phone? thanks a lot, nice regards

When is Sonos going to update their software to sync in L&R front speakers to their surround set up? 

Hi all - browsed really old versions of similar threads but none of the options work for me - I have a 2021 LG 55” OLED TV - I follow all the instructions but obviously cannot push the “power” button on my magic remote to configure it as it switches off the TV - hitting the volume buttons brings up the mute sign but the volume does not change. I do have different menu options to what are described here but more or less I can get to choosing optical blue tooth sound bar and then philips (I do not have sonos as a choice). Anyone else that has struggled have a magical answer?

Purchased a Sonos Arc, Sub and two Sonos Ones for surround sound to add in addition to my Vizio 75” V Series TV and the Apple TV 4K (latest edition). Since I purchased this I have had intermittent sound issues with different apps on Apple TV (Hulu, Disney+, HBO, Netflix, etc) that has the sound stay on for a bit and then cut out for a period of time then come back in. I called support and they were no help. It’s discouraging as I paid almost $2k for the Sonos products and am not able to get the full impact of it. To give some information, the Sonos ARC is hooked up to the TV via HDMI not through the optical cable option. I have switched out the HDMI cord and that did not help. Latest support diagnostic is: 841974370

Hi all! I’ve had an Arc for a while now and it’s grouped with a 1 for music in another part of the house. I recently bought a Move. It works great for music, grouped with the Arc and the 1. However, when using the Move grouped to the Arc for TV, the sound on the Move cuts out for 5-10 seconds every minute or so. I’ve tried all of the troubleshooting tips and nothing fixes this idea. Any ideas? Thanks!  

Hi everyone,a few days ago I bought a Sonos Arc and I completed my 5.1 setup (I already owned a pair of Ones and a Sub). I am very satisfied with the general quality of the audio and I have already performed the TruePlay procedure using an iPhone 13 Pro. The only problem is that the central channel, relative to the voices, is always a bit low. I tried to redo the TruePlay tuning with another iPhone (7) and also to redo it focusing on the area where I sit to watch TV, but the situation changes little to none. Arc is connected to the tv via eARC and the tv passes the dolby digital signals correctly. Why Sonos, despite all the requests from the community, does not allow us to adjust the center channel volume?The NightMode and Speech Enhancement functions improve the situation, but they are only palliatives that "ruin" the overall equalization. With the old system I owned, I could adjust the volume of the center channel. It was enough to set it to +3 to solve the speech comprehension probl

Hello:This is my system…ARC + 2 FIVES (as surround) + SUBThis is issue:I can’t use/see FIVES LINE IN available in app to connect my turntable.Of course if I remove surrounds from the bundle I’m able to use them.So how to do it without modifying my setup. 

It’s very frustrating that I’ll pause a movie or something to then go grab a snack, answer a phone call, and do a few other quick things and like 10 minutes later I hit play and there’s no sound for the next 5-10 seconds while the sonos stuff turns on again. I understand there’s people like me that want things to stay on forever or at least for like an hour or so, and there’s other people that want it to turn off after 1 minute of inactivity, so a setting is certainly the way to go here.

Hello all! I current installed an Epson TW7000 projector (https://www.epson.co.uk/products/projectors/home-cinema/eh-tw7000#specifications) and purchased a Beam soundbar for the audio. To the projector I've got connected through HDMI a Playstation and the TV cable box.Because I've learned the hard way there is no Bluetooth built in the Beam, I'm at a loss as to how to connect the Projector to it. The Beam should be placed above the projector screen and so wires would be a bit messy.I need your help please as to how I can connect the Beam via Bluetooth to the projector... Or if that's not an option and the sound quality will be horrible, what other ways are there to make the connection work? Thanks!! 

Samsung TV (2019 series8) connected to Sonos ARC via HDMI arc.  The Netflix native app on TV shows ATMOS tag but it’s only Dolby digital plus 5.1 on Sonos app.  When using Prime (again native app on TV) shows Atmos on Sonos app.What am I missing?Changed HDMI cable.Tried already reinstall Netflix app on TV, logout/ login in, used friends account etc no change.Reinstalled, updated Sonos app from Apple store to latest version.  Removed and added arc, again no change. It’s still shows ATMOS on Netflix app on TV and 5.1 on Sonos app. It’s really frustrating, can someone help? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Is a Beam (x1) + One SL (x2) capable of true surround sound? Hello, I have the aforementioned Sonos equipment, and am not sure I am able to get true surround sound (speaker isolation). I have a Samsung TV (probably around 2015 model), and have my Beam wired with the HDMI to Optical to the TV set. My sound output on the TV indicates that it is outputting DTS Neo 2.5 (there is no way I am able to highlight the DD option, it is greyed out all of the time). I have setup the system in the Sonos app correctly, and have the surround pair setup so all 3 speakers are connected and working. I am using a surround test file on the Pirates of the Caribbean DVD. My Sonos app indicates it is receiving DD 5.1; however, when running the test and the test indicates that the only speaker that should be playing is a rear, sound is somewhat quiet from that speaker and still coming out of the front. It doesn’t appear there is any speaker isolation. I have ran the Beam directly into my DVD player (PS4) with

Hi, I’m about to receive a Sonos Arc and wondering what the  set up for Home Theatre needs to be. I currently have Sonos Amp connected to my TV witch HDMI Arc Port + 2 Sonos SL used as front speakers. When setting up Sonos Arc, I was planning to use the 2 Sonos SL as rear wireless speakers, can I? What needs to be connected to the TV, the Amp or Sonos Arc? Will I need to connect the Amp at all? Sorry for the many questions!

Hi  I’ve read a lot of other posts and fixed up and tried different methods but can't get sound out from my connected surrounds using the Playbase.I have a playbase connected with an optical cable to the TV with two play 1’s and a sub gen 3.The TV is set to DD sound out and can see in the app I'm receiving DD 5.1.I've connected the Ones and Sub in the app. I get the Chimes that it's connected. When I go to play anything TV, Netflix, Spotify no sound comes out of the Ones or Sub. I can pause the Playbase though through the Ones. When I try trueplay it doesn't work as it says one of the speakers can't be found. If I disconnect and set up the sub with the ones as a group without the Playbase just to play music they work fine. This leads me to think it is something to do with the Playbase and not transferring in surround. Lastly I have done a factory reset on the Playbase and reset my router. Other issues along these lines seem to have been with the Playbase connected by ethernet. Mine is

Hi Everyone!I have two Beam immersive (surround with a beam, 2 one’s and a sub) in two different rooms.  The family room and the bedroom.   The bedroom sounds awesome.  The family room, not so much.  It has very high vaulted ceilings (probably 20ft at least) and the sound just gets lost in that space.   Should I get more one’s? another sub?  Maybe try a five??  To describe the issue, I would say it has less bass, less treble and even not enough direct sound coming from the center speaker (the beam).  I wanted to try the Arc, but it is so long, it really doesn’t fit anywhere.  Any suggestions are appreciated!Also, the lip sync gets off a lot in that same room.Thanks in advance!

Envisioned Living room set up: 2 Sonos in ceiling speakers - rear2 Sonos in wall speakers front on both sides of the TV1 Sonos Sub1 - Possibly the Arc under TVLooking to set up 5.1 with Sonos.  With the ARC I know it will be 5.1.2 which is cool too.  Questions: Can the above 6 speakers be powered 1 Amp? I know the 4 in-wall / in-ceiling speakers and the sub can be powered by 1 Amp but what about the ARC?  Is there another speaker besides the arc to give me that 5th speaker? And if so can it powered by the sam amp. If there is no other option besides the ARC to get me that 5th speaker and can’t be connected to the same amp then what is the best way to set this up?  Will the 5.1 or 5.1.2 be that much better than a 4.1 Sonos set up. (Yes I know this is subjective but would be curious on other’s opinions) 

Hi all , I'm still having an audio issue that I've posted about on the community , I just wanted to ask , I want to bypass my TV for the audio , so I currently have ....sky+ hd box to TV via HDMI Optical from sky+ HD box to beam TV speakers on zero volume I take it that even though the sky box is connected via HDMI the beam is now not connected to the TV because it's connected via optical to the sky box ? 

Greetings, I could use some help or ideas on why I cannot seem to achieve Atmos delivery. Here are the specs I am working with:TV: A80JAUDIO: Sonos Beam (Gen 2) w/sub and two Play:1 surroundsMISC: Running Netflix/Disney+, etc. via the apps within GoogleTV. Also have a Sony Blu Ray Player, but this is not yet part of the equation.PROBLEM: Films marked as Atmos on Disney+ are still playing in 5.1 according to my Sonos app. I see the Atmos icon next to/under the title of relevant content. Netflix films which are listed as being available in Atmos only list 5.1 next to the title of the film.INFO:-I do have a Netflix premium sub, which should provide Atmos on content that feature this Codec. -I have flipped the Sony "Netflix Calibration" to "on" -I have used the HDMI cord that delivered with the Sonos equipment, as they suggest, and this is connected via the eArc port #3 -I have tried every sound & output setting I can think of with no success. I've just restored audio settings to the f

Well, Sonos delivered on their promise to bring DTS Surround 5.1 support to the Arc. Below is what I got with the following source and equipment. Maybe DTS:HD will come later.

Hi, I had the problem that dialogs were extremely soft on my Sonos Arc + Sub + 2x One surround. I already tried:Enabling Speech Enhancement Enabling Night Sound Tuning via TruePlay Disabling the 2x One Surround Disabling Loudness Manually tweaking EQ Resetting to factory defaults and trying these things once moreThe problem remained. I found several threads with people reporting the same problem, some even returning their Arc:https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/ocsxnw/arc_dialogue_too_quiet/ And they all provided the same tips and strategies that I already tried and listed abive. Some of the tips would help maybe 20%, but dialogs remained extremely soft to the point where I too considered returning the Arc. I was coming from the Playbar and never had such issues.Then I found this post:  which explained that the Arc does not support LPCM which my Apple TV 4K was sending out. In the Apple TV 4K’s audio settings, I had to explicitly opt out of Dolby Atmos and let it re-encode all

Please can we have hi res audio for play bar?  I can’t see it on the list of supported products and plan on keeping it for another couple of years yet. Thanks, Duncan

Samsung 8K Television Antenna audio stops in Arc soundbar. DirectTV and Apple TV Sound never quits.Talented home owner and installer unplug electricity and Antenna audio works again. Looking for help.

Just purchased an Arc to go on my 2013 Panasonic Plasma,  The TV has ARC HDMI but obviously no eARC.  I see that I could buy the Fury splitter, but at that price I’d rather wait and get a 65”C1 at some point.  Just not ready to depart with my Plasma yet.   

Hi all,Adding to the pile of people with sound dropout issues.  I’m using a Beam Gen 2 (brand new and fully up-to-date) with a Panasonic TX40JX850BZ (also brand new and fully updated)I’ve been getting an issue through the TV audio where the sound cuts out every hour or so, for about 10 seconds.  It happens on all sources (standard TV through aerial socket, Netflix, YouTube, Chromecast) when connected to the HDMI eARC port.  The issue seems to be resolved when connected via the optical converter.  I don’t think using optical is a satisfactory solution as I bought the Beam to take advantage of my TV’s Dolby Atmos capabilities.I’ve been around the houses with both Sonos and Panasonic customer service.  Sonos says it’s an issue with the TV, Panasonic says it’s likely a compatibility issue and will likely charge me if I send it to them for investigation/repair.  I’m at my wit’s end as this combination was quite an extravagant purchase for me. Has anyone else managed to properly resolve an i
