Home theater

I have the Beam connected to a brand new Sony UHD TV… it’s fantastic, but the volume increases and decreases in increments of two, regardless of whether I use the TV or Sky remote control. I’d like it to increase and decrease in single increments ideally… can this be adjusted?

I’m having some very annoying issues using my Samsung One Remote from a Samsung Frame 2020 TV with the Arc. It worked perfectly basically out of the box for the first 3 months and now all of a sudden the Samsung remote won’t change the volume for the Arc. When pressing the volume up or down it will still display the (HDMI-eArc) notification on the TV but no + or - signs and doesn’t adjust the volume. I’ve seen threads suggesting to go to the universal remote settings and add a new home theater device as Panasonic, that’s been hit or miss for me and when it does work it’s only been for about 24 hours then I’d have to set it up again. I’m just looking to get the remote working how it worked out of the box on day 1. The Arc is connected via HDMI to the eArc input on the Samsung Frame. Hopefully someone has some ideas. Thanks.

I have a new Samsung NEO 8k tv and connected a new Arc to it using the HDMI/Arc port. The audio works but is several milliseconds behind the video. I’ve noticed that I can use the Sonos software to delay the audio which, as expected, makes matters worse. The tv also seems to have a digital audio delay - a slider bar that defaults to 100. There is nothing available in the tv documentation saying what the 100 is or whether sliding it left or right increases the delay. I have tried moving the slider to both extremes and honestly saw no noticeable difference.  I have seen numerous articles about different audio formats that can be processed faster, but let’s face it, we pay a premium for the arc to get Dolby Atmos sound.  I also read an article suggesting different HDMI cables can make a difference  I will give that a try but not sure I am buying that one.Has anyone experienced this and can suggest a fix?  Thanks!

My setup is an Apple TV 4K 2021 version with an optima UHD50 4K projector, 2 homepods in stereo setup with Dolby atmos and wirelessly connecting to a sonos beam and sub via airplay 2.    On the previous gen Apple TV 4K I was able to use my stereo homepods as the default speakers and then select the sonos beam and sub through the Audio menu of the streaming content.  However the newest version creates issues whereby when I use the homepods as the default speakers it doesn’t allow me to add the sonos beam and sub like before.    I called sonos and they said it isn’t an issue on their end because when I select just the sonos beam and sub for the sound and remove the homepods the sound works.  I also contacted Apple support but they indicated that there might be a new kind of spatial sound update that may conflict with the sonos beam.     I have tried to connect the Apple TV to a hdmi splitter and use optical cable directly to the sonos beam but these splitters reduce the quality of the vi

Hello,Does anyone know if the Sonos Beam uses the auto lip sync protocol over ARC. If i understand correctly, the protocol is only mandatory in HDMI 2.1/eARC, but companies can choose to support it over ARC if they want. I’m keen to know because I have some minor lip sync issues with my 2017 Apple TV 4K, LG B9 and Sonos Beam surround setup. If the Beam does use auto lip sync then im probably experiencing these problems because the Apple TV doesn't support the feature (apparently all devices in the chain need to support the feature for it to work). As such, I may upgrade to the new 2021 Apple TV 4K since that has HDMI 2.1 and im hoping there’ll finally be an unbroken chain that fully supports the HDMI automatic lip sync feature. Many thanks.

I have an Arc, sub and 2 play 1s setup. For a month now the setup was fine. No sound issues at all. No changes made to my network either. Since yesterday my arc keeps dropping out intermittently.  For no reason whatsoever. I have tried wifi and ethernet. Same issue. I have had to turn the arc off and revert to TV speakers Diagnostics submitted are 726026310. Please can someone at Sonos help.

As per the title, I came across this YouTube guide and it's quite useful. Using a simple tool you can get a powered sub to sync and receive audio from the ARC/other Sonos stuff too  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Bvof0hF4LE

Hi Guys and Gals.  Since last night I have lost my surround sound capability. Was working perfectly fine. Came through about 2am and notice one of them pulsing white light.  Looked on the app this morning and found this on the app. So with this I deleted them off the system and had to reset to factory settings to see them again of the system. Connected them up again, worked fine individually. But as soon as you connect them to surroundsound and error occurs halfway through the set up and knocks out the two speakers. Thus having to reset them to factory settings again I’ll start the whole process again. 

Hi. I’m fairly new to Sonos, so hoping to get some advice.Currently, I have one Sonos AMP driving four architectural ceiling speakers in an open plan living/dining room (2 speakers in the living area, 2 in the dining area)In the living area, I plan to install a Sonos ARC and SUB.I’d like to use the 2 ceiling speakers in the living area as rear surrounds when watching TV. But I also want all 4 ceiling speakers to play music independently from the HT system.What’s the best way of achieving this?Thanks

Hi,I am very happy to be able to have repaired my Playbar’s and Connect GEN2’s broken optical ports with the methodology described by Dave J1, using Milliput and 90-degree Toslink connector. Thank you very much. 

So I bought a pair of Sonos Fives to upgrade my music and movie experience from a pair of Ones. I already have over 100 cd’s and had planned to use the Sonos Five line in to connect a cd player. I did a little bit of research and found out that if I choose to use my Fives as surrounds then the line in will be disabled, I’m confused and frustrated because Sonos NEVER made this apparent before. So now I don’t know where to go from here, I’d like to still add my cd collection somehow. 

Just bought an Arc and set it up. I was disappointed to see that I was only getting Dolby Digital (not plus) from my new Apple TV 4k (the new model) on iTunes movies with Dolby Atmos. When I switched to my Roku, the same movie showed Dolby Atmos on the app on my phone. The same happened when I switched to the Apple TV app on my LG. So, it’s just the Apple TV 4K that won’t give me Dolby Atmos. The “immersive audio” setting isn’t even present in the Apple TV settings. It’s not the HDMI cable. It’s new and capable of 18gbps and I swapped it to the Roku to test and was still getting Dolby Atmos from the Roku. This seems like it’s specific to the Apple TV. My TV model is the LG UK6570. I guess my question is: Is the sound I’m getting through the Roku really Dolby Atmos? The app says it is, but if I can’t get it through the Apple TV, then either the Apple TV has an issue or the app is lying and I’m not getting it at all. I’d hate to have to use my Roku or my TV apps just to watch movies to g

I realize that there are several threads similar to this, but none towards this exact European Samsung-model.I bought the Sonos Arc surround package a couple of weeks ago. Spent a lot of time trying to sync the audio with my LG 65” OLED B7V, but there was just no chance.Decided to purchase the new Samsung QE65QN95AATXXC hoping this would be a good match. At first it seemed to work perfect. But all of a sudden the sound cutting happend.Been in contact with both Sonos and Samsung supprt today. Neither could or were very willing to help.Sonos says it is a Samsung issue, and that they resolved it with firmware 1462.1, and that I had to contact Samsung for further assistance. Samsung said they didn’t know about a specific issue with this model and that there were no patches in their system to help me.My setup:Sonos Arc connected to Samsung OneConnect HDMI 3 (eARC) with Sonos HDMI-cable Nvidia Shield connected to Samsung OneConnect HDMI1 with new 8K HDMI 2.1 cableMy settings:eARC on Samsung

HiI have Sonos Amp (about 3 years old), connected to TV and two B&W Speakers with Wharfdale passive sub. Brilliant.I had a Samsung Smart TV, and ARC worked well.I now have new LG CX 65” TV, and have issues with ARC.No ARC Audio passes to the Sonos. I have to use “Internal Speaker” on the TV.Sonos is now off/standby, useless, and gathering dust…   :-(It once worked after a power outage, some sequence of power-on may have coincidentally worked.This was only once, till I switched the TV off. After that, I had to go back to “Internal Speaker” on the TV again.I have tried many times, all combinations of settings.Sonos 2 App on iPhone fails to connect to TV.I did a Diagnostics = Ref 2071482316Please could you assist?Thanks 

I’m finalising plans to replace my hifi with a Sonos Beam and Sonos One SL set up. I’ve read that combining these components as a 5.1 set up (bonding the speakers) means the Sonos Ones would not be accessible for Airplay if I just want to play music. My questions are:- In  a TV surround setup with these components, if I Airplay music to the Beam (i.e., TV switched off), will it incorporate the Sonos Ones in playback?  Given that surround uses the Sonos Ones in a different mode to achieve true surround, will this be detrimental to playback of music outside of TV use? Thanks for any advice. 

Sounds cuts off for like 5-10 seconds then come back on. It looks like its a common problem among arc owners. Is there a solution for this?Diagnostic code: 60793805

Hey guys, sorry if this has been asked multiple times but I’m a bit of a noob when it comes to this kind of stuff. I have a PS4 + OLED55BXPTA + ARC.  TV audio output is set to pass through and the PS4 is set to Bitstream (Dolby) but when Blu-ray audio plays, even if the track is 5.1, the app shows at as being Multichannel LPCM 7.1. Is this normal? Or am I missing something?  cheers Steve. 

Setup Sonos Arc with One SL and Sub Gen3 on my Samsung TV. Synced up perfectly with HDMI ARC connection and all working great. However for some reason occasionally after shutting down TV for the night, the next day the audio comes on and then stops for a second or so before starting again. This repeated continuously, unless I disconnect and reconnect the HDMI connection or reboot the Sonos ARC. rebooting the TV has no impact, so the problem looks like the ARC. Interestingly if I go to the Sonos Source I don't get any signal from the Sonos when the issue is present? However when it's all working properly, I get signal okay and see the Sonos curved lines screen.  Diagnostics have been submitted on I'd 1258411113   Any help appreciated        

Hi Sonos.   S2 has been a let down so far for me. Please tell me you are going to add DD+ functionality to the beam?

I have a Roku TV sending its audio output from the HDMI Arc port to a Sonos Beam. Behind the couch, I have two Sonos One’s as surrounds, and a Sonos Sub. We mainly watch streaming services. Surround sound on supported shows works and sounds great. But often times we come across shows where there is only audio coming from the Beam, nothing coming out of the One’s. In those cases, is there any way to force whatever’s coming out of the Beam to also come out of the One’s?  I’ve looked in 3 different places (RokuTV audio settings, Sonos app, and audio settings of the streaming service), and I can’t figure out how to accomplish this.

Hello,I connected an arc sound system with an apple TV4K and an hd fury arcana beacause my TV doesn’t have e-arc only arc..With the Netflix application, I choose a film that offers sound in ATMOSBut on the SONOS s2 application it does not mark me “ATMOS” but "PCM Multicannal 5.1”… ?     I have:Sonos ARC2 Sonos One1 Sub Thanks for your help

My Sonia beam is connected to a Sony TV via HDMI ARC. If I mute the TV for an extended period of time, Beam seems to disconnect from the TV - it doesn’t respond to volume commands through the TV. I can recover by using the Sonos App, telling Beam to play TV, but it’s a hassle. How can I keep abeam connected to my TV during long periods of silence ?

Good morning.  Since the new ATV4K is only shipping next week, I’m  hoping someone will be able to answer this definitively before purchase.Many early adopters of the Arc and owners of recent Sony smart TVs know of the problems re sound that were finally solved after a year by Sony. Very frustrating.  I’ve been reading of problems re Atmos, eArc, etc on older ATVs but nothing seems definitive. Lots of ideas sloshing around.  Im looking for a seemless experience :) after the Sony nonsense.  Basically, plug and play and get the same sound I’m getting now with the smart TV and Arc.  Thank you. 

Hi everyone,I have a samsung 65Q95T and i bought a Sonos beam. The device is simply connected in hmdi to the eARC port of the tv. I have a question about the sound configuration. In the tv should I leave the output format to Auto or change to PCM or Transfert. In auto am I getting the dolby digital ?I am planning to add 2 small speaker for the suround (probably the play one or the one). Do I need to change something in the setting of the Tv ?  Thanks in advance
