Hello everyone,Two-part question.  I previously posted that I have a dated TV (Sharp) that while equipped with ARC, does not deliver DD5.1 to my Beam (neither first or second Gen).  I am interesting in replacing the TV, but have noticed some issues cropping up with LG to ARC.  My questions are:Is there a comprehensive list of SONOS compatible eARC TVs?  The closest I came to was off RTINGS.com, but that is not necessarily geared to SONOS compatible products.  Save for going to a big box store and trying to fiddle with things, there has to be a more efficient way to achieve a truly clean solution is the ARC a good surrogate measure for the BEAM Gen2?  I am asking the question in the context of ATMO so basically, if the TV works with ARC, does it stand to reason it will do similarly with BEAM Gen2?Many thanks for all opinions.Thank you.

Hi! I have a problem, that I try to solve for some time, try to search for information on the Internet but can not ... I have a projector that I want to install in the bedroom, and wifi speakers that are already installed in the room, the speakers have no additional connection in the device itself. I want the projector (or rather the streamer connected to the projector) to transmit the sound to the wifi speakers. Can't find any device that would give me such an answer. The streamer itself can only broadcast on Bluetooth. And I only find devices that broadcast on Bluetooth, and the speakers do not support it as I said. Maybe an app that will actually be installed on the streamer? Something else? Hey thanks! The speakers is from Sonos company, only wifi available...the streamer is mi box s, there's HDMI and aux available, and the projector is a cheap one, Blitzwolf bw-vp6.I need product that connect through aux and transmitted to wifi. Some adapter... i think that it needs to connect to

Good morning I hope you can help please? I have purchased a Sonos beam 2 to go along with my LG c1 telly and was wondering what settings I need to have on my LG to receive Dolby Atmos?I have been on Amazon and Netflix on my virgin V6 media box and I am only getting Dolby digital 5.1 plus when it should be atmos . Could you please advise as I am not sure if I have my settings wrong on my LG.thanks in advance for your help  Matt :) 

So my Sony XBR55 X900E will only send audio through the built in speakers. I have a HD Fury setup with AppleTV 4K, Nvidia Shield, & Firestick all work like they should. Is this proper or did I mess something up? 

Once I get my Beam Gen 2 setup, do I need to do anything to remove my original Beam from association with my account to free it up for another happy home?

Can i make this setup working Center Speaker  - Arc Rear Speaker - One SL - R/L Subwoofer - Sonos Sub Mid Above Sound - Sonance in celling speaker - pair Rear above sound - Sonance in celling speaker - Pair    Can I make this setup or not ? or do I have to use 3rd party AVR like Denon or ?if yes then I have to use 2 Sonos Amp for in celling speaker or just 1 AMP.   Please Suggest

We have 4 in-ceiling speakers and 2 Sonos Amps.  After connecting the surround speakers we are no longer receiving sound from the left and right front speakers.  I’m not sure where I went wrong.  Any help is appreciated!

Hello SONOS community,I have a BEAM Gen2 w/ S2 app, Sub Gen3, Apple TV 4K (first generation), and a Sharp LE832 42” TV.I have tried connecting the BEAM to the TV’s ARC and messed around with the TV’s audio settings.  At best, I can get Stereo PCM when connected in this way.  If I ‘force’ the ATV to use Dolby Digital 5.1 output, this configuration does not produce any sound.I have invested in an HDMI splitter and connection via digital optical out DOES give me Dolby Digital 5.1 (again, when forced from ATV).  For sure, a first world problem, but I would like to take advantage of ARC but I am beginning to think I am resigned to accept that my TV’s ARC does not carry a compatible Dolby signal.  I realize a simple solution would be to buy a new TV, but I am hoping to hold out a bit longer.I appreciate any observations/suggestions.Thank you.

After nearly a year of ownership on our Arc SL we’ve decided to get a new TV. I’m looking at the Vizio M65. According to their site, the display has HDMI 2.1, but according to some reviews its really only HDMI 2.0b or something like that. From a previous discussion I believe someone said that on HDMI 2.0 you can get Atmos but its only Dolby Digital Plus, not True HD, so its compressed. Is this true? Or will True HD Atmos play through eARC on HDMI 2.0? Also, I’ve read elsewhere that the Apple TV 4k (5th or current generation) will not support True HD Atmos, only compressed DD+, regardless of the HDMI connection. Is this true?

Tengo un equipo sonos 5.1 compuesto por beam, sub y 2 sonos one. Mi pregunta es la siguiente: ¿Es posible ampliar el equipo con 2 altavoces delanteros symfonisk al lado de la barra para que suene más fuerte delante?? ¿Sonos lo permite?? ¿¿Funcionaría bien? Muchas graciasUN saludo

Hi there :) Last year I upgraded from Beam to Arc, and I absolutely love it <3 However, this year I was thinking on either upgrading the system with the Subwoofer or buying a turntable and use it with the Arc...(which I’ve already seen it would be difficult/expensive and the best option would be going with Sonos Five) But, what if I can do both? Would it be possible, or a good choice, to buy 1 Five and….Use it as rear to the TV system - Would I be able to use Atmos still? Connect it to a turntable, I understand I could create a group with Arc to listen to music right?I know 2 Five would be the best, but maybe I can start with 1 and later add the second haha Thanks!!!!

Subject says it all - Beam (Gen 2) what comes in the box?I would like to shop for optical cables (etc) before it arrives.thanks!~P

So I have a sonos beam connected to my Samsung smart tv via hdmi arc and I have a chromecast connected to the TV via hdmi. I stream movies using apps such as Netflix and others. Using this setup I only get pcm stereo sound and no 5.1 dolby digital with chromecast. When I use native app netflix installed on the TV 5.1 dolby digital works. We all know this by now. But my question is, if I buy a TV with built in chromecast, will 5.1 dolby digital work with my sonos beamthen?

Not sure how accurate this is, but according to this video from Audio Advice, DTS support is coming on November 21.Start at the 4:05 mark:

Sonos likes to hear what people want, so I’m asking the question (Yet again?). When will Sonos finally support DTS decoding for the soundbars? Seems to me that there appears to be a pretty reasonable user base (& lost sales) that is continually asking for this. Given the Arc has now been released, it would be an opportune time to support these codecs, even if they user has to pay a little more for the licensing cost involved (Via the Sonos App). Pretty sure its not easy to transcode DTS:X tracks to Dolby? (DTS is a different story)

Good Day,Have an intermittent issue with momentary audio blips from NVidia Shield 2019 Pro - Plex, Netflix, Prime etc. Setup is LG OLED B8, Monoprice HDMI cables, Arc. Previously had exactly the same issue with a Playbar. This happens once in maybe 10 mins, and is a blip - milliseconds. All is via TV apps, but they are poor in comparison to the Shield. As far as I can tell everything is up to date. Any assistance appreciated.

Hi, just connected new LG OLED TV to new Sonos Arc . All connections and set up verified by Tv and Sonos app. I can’t get anything to play with Dolby Atmos through the Arc even if I try Apple TV4K with movies featuring Atmos. Any assistance would be appropriated. TY 

Before the latest app update, i was getting dolby atmos with hbo max on firestick tv 4k but not anymore. Does anyone here having the same problem?

Hi,Client has 4 x B&O amplified active speakers in his set up. Front L/R and Rear L/R.He wants to add a Beam or ARC, but will the 2 x Ports FL/R and RL/R) if all WIRED by Ethernet cable through a gigabit switch connection run the front & rear speakers active speakers and work as 5.1 or full for music?If not, is the alternative to get him to throw away his several thousand euro B&O speakers and add Play 1’s? Cheers   

I am a contractor and I am unfamiliar with Sonos equipment. I have a client that recently moved and he has a sound bar and surround speakers that seems to have used cat five cable to make the connection to the rear speakers. Is there a solution available to eliminate the need for the cat five cable for the rear speakers? The model he has is called play bar

Does anybody know what the upfiring drivers in the Arc do, (if anything), with a stereo or 5.1 signal?

I've had a Beam in 5.1 configuration for a few years and recently upgraded to the ARC. I've noticed that the system is much louder in Dolby mode than PCM/LPCM. This is probably just down to the way Dolby is encoded. But in practice the experience is jarring when switching between sources - you find yourself reaching for the remote to adjust the volume as needed. It's especially apparent when flicking through Sky channels - some of them have a Dolby track and some don't. I'm also reading some people are also having issues with low volume LPCM on PS5.What might help here could be a background option/switch/slider, to automatically boost the volume when a TV PCM source is detected.

We had a Sansui s-x1200 driving a set of Cerwin Vega D9s growing up. I still have the Cerwin Vegas but I would like to find the Sansui for sentimental value. Anyone know where to find one in the USA? After buying my Sonos gear (Arc, Sub & Ones), it has really brought me back into a love of music. Refoaming the D9s and picked up an Amp to drive them. If I can find the Sansui, I think I’ll be forced to get a Port too lol. 

Can’t figure this one out. I only get Stereo PCM from my Spectrum DVR and PS5 but I get Dolby 5.1 from my Apple TV.Setup: Older Samsung plasma TV capable of decoding Dolby 5.1 connected to the Arc via Sonos’ Toslink adapter to HDMI. Apple TV and PS5 connected via HDMI to an HDMI switch to the TV. Spectrum DVR connected directly to TV via HDMI. I have the Sonos Arc and two One SL’s for surround All devices are capable of decoding Dolby 5.1 yet I can only get Stereo PCM, not even Multichannel PCM, from PS5 and DVR. Apple TV is the only device coming in as Dolby 5.1. I’ve tried every setting I can find on both DVR and PS5 in terms of audio compression settings and nothing changes no matter what setting I use. My app is updated and I’ve read a few posts about Stereo and Multichannel PCM but nothing quite explains my situation.Even with Stereo PCM 2.0 coming up in the app, I’m still getting audio in the surrounds. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Hi.I have a Sonos Arc.The Speech enhancement function seems not working.I cannot hear any difference with it turned on or off.I asked some friends to check it in my home, too, and they also cannot hear any difference.What is the problem?My Sonos App is version 13.3.When I check for Arc soundbar updates it says it’s updated.What can I do?
