Home theater

Hi Community!I bought a house with pre-wired, semi-surround speakers in the walls.  I was thinking of connecting the wired speakers to a Sonos Port and adding a Sonos Arc but am not sure I can ‘synchronize’ them when watching TV or playing music. I would like to create the same experience as using the Arc + 2 ones this way.  Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how would I set it up?Thanks!

Will there ever be a smaller, more affordable sub? The price is the equivalent to 1000 usd😅

I have a beam and two One SL as surrounds but the surrounds don't work with my TV but do with music. The audio output from my TV is Dolby digital.

I have my living room set up with a Beam, two Ones for rear channels and a sub. The beam is in a TV armoire with the tv. When we are entertaining, we have the armoire closed and playing music. However, since the beam is in a closed armoire, is doesn't sound great and is muffled.  Is there a way to bypass/turn off the beam so music is just played through the 2 Ones and the sub? 

Hi,i have an arc sound bar installed on my fireplace under the tv.  about ten feet back I have passive ceiling speakers wired to a new Amp (not connect amp) upstairs in a media closet. They sound fantastic but I would love a way to connect the Arc with these Passive Amp powered speakers. Right now I can only see an option to add Play 1s as surrounds on the arc.  any options here to link everything together?

I have a roku remote that is not an IR remote control.  I paired it with my Sonos Beam when I first bought the Beam and used it for a couple of months.  One day, the remote no longer controlled the volume on my Beam and sonos system.  Can someone please tell me why this happened and what can be done to fix this problem so I can continue to use my Roku remote to control volume? Thank you,  

I am replacing my Sonos Playbar with a Sonos Arc. The Playbar is currently mounted under the TV using a Sanus Universal Soundbar Mount (Model SASB1). Can I use that same mount for the Arc ? Mod Edit: Changed Play to Playbar for clarity.

I have messed with the app and searched the forum and can’t find a clear answer. I see a lot of talk of Zones but in the app I don’t see any option for zones. I am using the new app. My normal setup is all speakers, Arc, Sub and Play 1’s as home theater surround sound. However when we are outside I would like to unplug the Play 1’s and have them just be a stereo pair for music. I have found I can remove them from the room, then create a separate stereo pair but this is very conversion. Each step takes a while for the app to update so you can do the next. Is there a better way? How do Insetup zones in the new app?

I have a new Beam and have set it up with two Play 3s - works fine.We also have a Sonos One - is it possible to add this to the surround sound so that it’s volume can be controlled when we use the Beam?

I'm wondering how to solve my challenge.The setup is:Apple 4kTV HDMI to Optoma UHD380x optical out with HDMI converter to SONOS BEAM (Sonos beam paired with 2 play one and SUB)I guess the reason why I get STEREO PCM as listed input is that the conversion through the Optoma beamer or the conversion from the Optoma optical out to beam HDMI in port. Would there be a solution to get both the image onto my OPTOMA and the sound to my BEAM with 5.1 instead of Stereo PCM?! thank you so much!I guess the Optoma is the issue because the SPDIF only supports - SPDIF Out (2 channels PCM).beamer: https://www.projectors.co.uk/optoma-uhd380x-projector/Is there something like an HDMI splitter so that I directly after the Apple 4K tv split the audio from video into two HDMI cables; one going to the beamer and one to the Sonos Beam?

Hello, I have spent the last few months trying to sort out the best new sound system for my living room. Sonos ARC + sub + 2x One SLs seem like love at first sight for me but I didn't get it yet because of 1 reason:I want dedicated front left and right speakers for a wide sound stage.I know I am not the only one asking for this.Can we gather enough people to convince Sonos to do this?If they would announce this, I would get the whole package without a heart beat. Cheers!

Sound cutting in and out on my Sonos Arc after playing Dolby Atmos content on Apple TV 4K I’ve had my Sonos Arc and Sub Gen 3 for about two weeks now and I’m very satisfied with the sound quality, but I’m having some very annoying issues with audio cutting in and out… I have the latest LG OLED TV, a LG GX (same as the CX, just wall mounted). The only two boxes I have hooked up to my TV is an Apple TV 4K and a PS4 Pro, but I’m having sound issues on my Apple TV.Before I explain the problem, yes, I’ve pretty much done all the troubleshooting I can do. Plug everything in and out, check that the cables is properly connected, updated everything, the Arc, TV and Apple TV, everything should be up to date as I’m writing this post.  Okay, so here’s the issue, with a half ish solution. My issue: If I play any content that supports Dolby Atmos on iTunes, Apple TV+, Netflix etc. and try to play some music through the Apple Music app or watch any video on YouTube on my Apple TV after that, the audi

Hi all,After last week’s software update on my Sonos Arc, my Arc does not play any TV sound anymore unless I physically remove the power from it. I am, however, able to play music through the Arc just fine (via the Sonos app).Here’s my setup:Apple TV 4K LG C8 OLED HDMI ARC linkThe problem occurs after the TV has been switched off and then switched on again. Nothing else changed in my setup or device firmware except for the Sonos software update.Anyone experiencing this as well? Any tips or ideas? Thanks!

After receiving the new update, I noticed using the arc, that when i switch sources mid playback, I end up losing all sound and have to unplug at least one device for a brief moment to regain it. my setup is the arc connected to my 2018 qled tv, and the nvidia ShieldTV as a media playerin order to get the atmos features i run that system with the hdfury arcana in between, and i think it might have to do with this setup, but as it worked before and is now broken after the update, I blame sonos.The error occurs whenever I switch from regular TV from the built in sat-tuner to the external source that is the ShieldTV, I lose all sound. Can someone else confirm?I read from users over at reddit, that experienced the same, but need to mention it here, so that it gets seen by moderators and developers. 

I am looking to update our TV to 32” Smart TV. I have seen an LG tv that fits the bill but it has HDMI 1.4 ports, not the latest iteration.One of the Ports is labelled ARC. Am I correct in thinking the BEAM will be compatible or do I need a TV with HDMI 2.0?

I’m looking to attach my Sonos Beam to a MantelMount 540, and am curious if others have a particular mount they found works best with this configuration. I know of the highly regarded Sanus one, but am not sure this would allow for the use of the MM handle.Thanks in advance!

I have a 65x900b Sony series with and Sonos Arc connected in hdmi arc port. Also I have an amp for rears. Built-in Netflix tv app play 5.1 with no problem but none of the third party streaming devices play DD+ or Atmos, only stereo. I tested Roku ultra, google tv, PS4 and apple tv. 

I have an eArc TV with 3 HDMI input to it with a eArc receiver, and 5.1 surround from it. All of this is tucked away in an AV cabinet with a single HDMI in-wall cable between connected to the wall mounted TV. I’d like to replace my 5.1 receiver & speakers with the Arc + Sub + Play for surround. I am wondering how to best connect my 3 HDMI video sources to the TV + Arc without running 3 HDMI cables in the wall between the AV cabinet and the TV. Is HDMI splitter the only way ? Any recommendations ?   

Super keen to get the Sonos Arc + Sonos Sub for my 82" TV which has earc output.QHowever, the only thing stopping me, is I have a Popsical Remix karaoke device, that can only output audio through a 3.5mm analogue port. My question is if I can add on a Sonos Amp (I know a lot of folks use Amp to power additional speakers, but I wanna use it to connect legacy audio devices), then connect my Popsical Remix using a 3.5mm to RCA cable to the Amp, and have the Amp pipe audio wirelessly (or wired via ethernet cable to my Sonos Arc + Sub.  Would this setup work? If it doesn't.. Then it's a deal breaker for me and I'm stuck with my Jbl bar 5.1 which has an AUX 3.5mm input port :(

ARC looks great and comes in 2 colors - black and white.  However the white Arc comes with a black power cable only. It ruins the design experience for me. What were the design department thinking?  

First of all, I have been doing some research but I did not find any answer that satisfied me, if there are any similar questions I apologize. I have a Beam and two One’s in surround. My problem is that I have a Wii U, which transmits audio in Dolby Pro Logic II, however, the Sonos app only shows PCM Stereo, the Wii U is connected directly to the TV via HDMI and the Beam by ARC.The first question is: does the Beam supports Pro Logic II?I have tried to change the input of my TV to Bitstream and it removes all the sound from the back, but when I switch to PCM, I have sound back, but however, I do not know if it is “fake” surround or is it really working in Pro Logic II, since the app only shows PCM Stereo.Is it in Pro Logic but by the nature of Pro Logic, the Sonos app shows me that is Stereo?I would like to add that the Wii U is not compatible with Dolby, however, they released an update where the original Wii games (which are the ones I play) will work with Dolby, so I do not know if i

Hii have played around with the height audio on atmos content. But i am not hearing any difference. does anyone hear a difference?

Anyone else had issue with the quality of the finish with their Sonos sub? I ordered a sub from a reputable retailer and noticed the side panel wasn’t flush at the top. The sub was returned for exchange but the replacement was just the same plus generally poor finish with the paint job i.e. spot marks in the painted finish and a couple  of chips in the case that were obviously present prior to the case being painted.  I’m aware I might be considered “picky” but for £700 I think I have the right to expect the Sub to be manufactured to a high standard?  i’ve included a photo showing the side panel not sitting flush.  thanks in advance to anyone who replies

I recently bought the Sonos Surround Set. Just bought Apple TV 4K. My TV is a Sony Bravia from 2015. I’m aware that I won’t get True Dolby or Dolby Atmos until I upgrade my TV or get a Fury Arana. However, some stuff is odd. For example, I get Dolby Digital 2.0 on iPlayer when viewed through my TV, but I get Stereo PCM on iPlayer when viewed on the Apple Box. I could understand this (because the Apple Box isn’t connected to the Arc) but I get Dolby Digital 2.0 or better on some apps on the Apple Box. To me, this suggests that I *can* get DD or better through the Apple Box, so why isn’t it working on iPlayer? I tried the same TV shows for the comparison. 

We have problems with Beam and TV Sony KD49XH8596. For only TV audio ( no music streaming, no control by App ), we found that the problem is solved deactivating  wifi from Beam. Anyone else had found this method working?
