I recently purchased an ARC Soundbar to replace my Sonos Soundbar in my main family room. I plan on using the old Soundbar in my bedroom as my TV sound is horrible.  I would like to place it where my cable box is currently located (see picture). Any issues with that placement?   thank you for your feedback!  

Hi all, I’ve set up and tuned a pair of Sonos One speakers as Surround for our existing (working) Playbar/Sub. During the tune process, I heard great sound from the surround pair of Ones. Once I began to watch TV, ther was no sound from the Ones (surround) but normal sound from the Playbar and Sub. Anyone know what to do next?

I have a Sonos Arc with 5.1 in my living room. I also have one Play:1 in the bedroom and one Play:1 in the bathroom.  I like to have them all grouped when watching TV. The only thing what is a bit annoying is that when I change the volume with the TV remote only the Arc gets louder/softer. The other grouped speakers don't change.  It happens all to often that I decrease the volume on the TV and the sound comes from bedroom and bathroom what is not what I want and it sounds strange. Is there a possibility to synchronise the volume changes for the entire group when using the TV remote? I know it works when using the app.

I just bought a Sonos Arc, Symfonisk Lamp and Symfonisk Wall Art speaker. I will add a sub soon. Does anyone know if I can use the Lamp and Wall Art as my L and R surround sound speakers? I have the Arc and Wall Art and the Lamp is supposed to be delivered in a couple days

I’m not sure if this is the right place. But, when I turn on the power to my PS5, it turn on as well as the apple TV. Same if I turn just the apple TV on. It will turn on my PS5 as well.Did I connect something wrong from the sonos arc speaker?

It seems that my question is hard to find an answer to, so i try here.I have an LG UHD 58” TV and my Sonos Playbar attached to it. When i play movies with Atmos Dolby i do not get any sound. Is it because the TV cannot scale it down or is it because my Playbar is to old? If it is because my TV is to old an not able to scale it down, it will have no difference if buy an Sonos Arc?

Anyone else having this issue? My Sonos Arc (with 2 SL and sub) sometimes does not play dolby digital or Atmos with my Samsung TV. It happens randomly as a sudden drop in sound (no sound at all). When it does, I have to select the PCM mode if I have to hear any sound. Both the TV and the Soundbar system are updated with the latest software. Also, the Arc is connected to the HDMI eARC port of the TV using the HDMI cable which came with the Sonossystem 

Seven months after purchasing a Sonos ARC and two Symphonisk rear speakers, I was very annoyed by the impossibility of easily activating or deactivating the rear speakers as needed.We're not going to lie to each other, but :Touch the gear icon Go to System Choose Sonos Arc group Then Audio Surround Toggle On or Off Surrounds optionis not really what i call ergonomic.But with the iOS Soro application, what was very painful on a daily use, now becomes super simple.Thanks to the integration of these functions in iOs Shortcuts app, I can finally activate or deactivate my rear speakers with a simple tap when watching a movie or listening music .I just think it’s a shame that it is an external developer who offers this solution when Sonos should have already allowed it.

Cual sería la distancia ideal entre el escuchante sentado y la barra Arc What would be the ideal distance between the seated listener and the Arc bar?Mod Edit: Added Google Translation to English, as this is an English-language forum.

It looks like the Sonos Beam is now supporting Dolby Digital Plus or EAC3 now. Can any else confirm?

I just bought a Sony A80J, and need some guidance with the audio settings. I’ve got the Beam connected through the ARC port. It works but I’m not sure if I’m using the optimal settings. I assume I should have eARC mode on. On digital audio out I’m not sure if I should use one of the two Auto settings or use PCM. I’m not sure if I should have Pass Through Mode on. Finally, Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus? Any guidance would be appreciated. 

It’s all there in the title. Did 13.2 do anything for this issue? We just got the “bug fixes and improvements” rhetoric and because it was a big number update (.x) instead of a .x.x update maybe their would be something substantial. 

I currently have an Arc with gen 3 sub and two one SL surrounds. The only way I can setup the  room is with the couch against the wall. I have the surrounds mounted and turned inward, but I don’t get the true surround feeling. I’ve seen that you can’t add more surrounds, but is there a work around with another speaker or two to put behind the couch to get the surround feeling? Ideally the speaker would be running the surround audio and not main audio. 

I guys,I like to know if it possible to connect my Sonos Play 1 to my Smart TV and listen the sound of TV in Sonos Play 1? José Batista 

Hi. I’m having issues with Beam’s IR sensor where it will stop responding to Sky remote via IR. This issue was only fixed with a power cycle. It followed the same pattern. Would work perfectly and then just stop responding after a week or so. I’ve tried all usual fixes and just gave up. Today I’ve updated the firmware to 13.2 and it’s working again. Anyone know of this issue is included in the update? TIA

HiI just bought a beam soundbar and to ear correctly TV sound I need to raise volume to 60+ and the sound not very good. Then when I ear from an other source (DVD player, google assistant, …, this setting is much too highIs there a problem of configuration ?Note : the connection between Beam and TV is HDMI Arc. TV provider is OrangeThank you for help

I bought the playbar,2 play 1 speakers and the sub almost 2 years ago,I noticed a few weeks ago that the sub is no longer connected to the rest of the speakers,it was blinking red and white,I went to all the troubleshooting recommended and nothing,I called sonos support twice and they were not able to fix anything,they offered to replace the sub since I'm out of warranty but they want 425$...plus my cost of shipping...and a new gen 3 sub is 700$...any other way to fix or any advice is more than welcome 

I used true play to set up my surround system. Now, if I go to the Sonos app>System>TV Speakers (+Sub+LS=RS)>Sound>Surround Sound> I see TV Level for each surround speaker which you can adjust the level of each from -0 to +15. If I change the sound level of the right speaker nothing changes. However; if I move the Left control it changes both speakers not only the left one. Do I have something out of wack? 

I have the Sonos Arc, with two rear “one” speakers and a sub. Everything plays well and I get adobe atmos through my Apple TV. My PS5 however has a audio delay (sound behind). The only way to fix it is to switch it from “dolby” to “PCM” which then takes the sound away from the rear speakers. I’ve scoured the internet with no luck. I have a LG tv with ARC not eARC. LG TV: OLED65C8PUASome say to change the option in the tv to say, “passthrough”, but mine only has “auto” or “linear pcm”Some day to buy this: https://hdfury.com/product/4k-arcana-18gbps/ But I don’t feel I need to purchase a $200 product to fix the lip sync. All the audio sync adjustments make the sound worse. Any thoughts would be helpful. 😃

New to Sonos and just want to confirm if I can use 1 amp or need 2?  Looking to setup a 5.1 with soundbar/amp and 2 ceiling speakers in living room. Then in kitchen/dining room use 4 ceiling speakers.  From what I read you can connect up to 6 ceiling speakers to 1 amp. Not looking to use both systems at same time, but can I utilize the 5.1 and then the 4 other speakers separately with 1 amp? Hope this makes sense. thank you, David

Have an LG CX, an Apple TV 4k and Full Sonos Arc 5.1 setup with all the latest software. Keep getting that for virtually everything that’s supposed to be Dolby 5.1 and cannot figure out why I am not. Viewed multiple forums and still can’t figure it out. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. 

I’d like to get a sound bar, but I have a “dumb“ TV with no ARC input. Is there a workaround?

Hello!  I  recently purchase a Samsung smart TV. Can I    pair my S2 speakers to the TV via bluetooth? I  tried doing it through the TV but nothing was showing up.

Hi,I’m not sure this is possible but are there any plans to introduce the ability to add more surround speakers to cinema set up?  Currently running with an Arc, 2x Subs (gen 3 & gen 2) and 2 x Ones. Really like the looks of the new Ikea\Sonos frame speaker and would love to put a pair behind us.  Thanks in advance,Paul.
