Can anyone help me with optimising the sound on the arc where it is not positioned under the tv?because of space I have had to place it to the left hand side thanks 

I have mac mini + projector(LG HF85LS) connected with hdmi.I'm wondering if I could connect sonos amp with mac mini(I have passive speaker which connect with sonos amp). If I could connect by airplay2, then could I watch Netflix with no delay between sound and movie?Any help would be appreciated.

I want to use an ARC as front with the TV, hooked up with ARC hdmi cable.Use AMP unit designated as rear amp to drive ceiling mount surround speakers.In this set up can the AMP sub output drive a slave amp and a in-wall sub?Will it be putting out the proper bass information?Will I be able to control the level?   

I’m considering the Beam Soundbar for my covered patio TV. On both side of the TV I have  Polk Audio speakers run by a Sonos Connect Amp. If I install the Beam to my TV, will the two Polk speakers group with the Beam giving me center channel in the Beam and left right channels on the Polk speakers?  My TV does not have an ARC output so I will be using the optical audio out to the Beam.

Hey guys. I´ve been reading many topics about this issue, but none of them could help me get through my problem. I have a LG GX plugged to My Sonos Beam (with paired Sonos One stereo pair) via HDMI ARC port (the HDMI port 2 on TV). The first time I plugged them together it just worked, the TV told me a sound output was found and offered me to use it. It was all great, until I´ve turned the tv OFF. From that moment I had no sound at all (using HDMI ARC, with Airplay 2 it´s all OK). I´ve unplugged it all and restored tv to Factory Settings, but this time I´ve disabled the “quick start” option of the tv (as mentioned for a user in a forum). It worked the first time, then the issue came back, no sound at all. My cables are HDMI 2.1, and just to make sure, I´ve used the original one provided with the Beam. I´ve unplugged everything from the wall, waited 30s, plugged it back, still no sound. The ouput on TV is set to HDMI-ARC, on Connections Menu the options to auto detect devices, enable Si

I’ve been having a bit of an issue with my LG CX + Apple TV + Sonos Arc and have been searching for solutions to no avail. Every recommendation I’ve come across has been to set the Digital Sound Out to “passthrough” to receive Atmos unprocessed to the Arc via the TV from the ATV 4K. But when this setting is selected, the image clears out momentarily and the Dolby Vision notification disappears from the screen and the HDR logo appears in it’s place. The screen also appears much brighter.Changing the Digital Sound Out to “Auto” fixes this. But I’m not sure why selecting “passthrough” for an audio output is impacting the video at all.I thought this might be an issue with the Apple TV, but an Xbox Series X performs in the same manner. Oddly, the internal TV apps can be set to “passthrough” for the Digital Sound Out and the Dolby Vision works fine.I’m trying to get the highest quality sound to the Arc without also compromising picture quality. The audio settings for the LG CX are:Sound out:

Is it possible to have the TV sound coming through an Arc, auto group to a Sonos Amp that is not connected as surround? I would like for my TV sound to play through the Amp connected to the kitchen ceiling speakers, when I turn on the TV.The issue is that when the news is on the TV, there is no surround information, therefore there's no sound when using the Amp in surround mode. Also when listening to the cable music channels through the TV, only surround sound effects come out of the kitchen ceiling speakers. 

Hello,  I have a old 2018 Samsung forgot which model but I’m getting Dolby 2.0 and not 5.1?I have the Sonos Arc, 2x SL for the rear and Sub3. Connect with HDMI on arc connection.I was streaming movie on the TV with Netflix and HBO with Dolby 5.1 etc… but still getting Dolby 2.0 and I have switch to pcm and bitstream and still get Dolby 2.0.  It sound great but just wondering if i did something wrong.

I've got to admit, I'm a little disappointed with the Atmos performance of my Arc. My room seems like it is perfect for the way that the Arc bounces audio to simulate height speakers, but I don't really hear any discernible difference between 5.1 and Atmos sources - certainly not in terms of height and the sound bubble effect that Atmos is meant to bring.The room is 3.8m wide, and 3m to the back of the couch, with a ceiling height of 2.6m. Arc is on a tv unit, at about the same height as the seats (45cm from ground).I'm playing Atmos sources via the AppleTV+, Disney+ and Netflix apps on a 4K Apple Tv, using a HD Fury Arcana to split this out to the Arc. The Sonos app shows the Atmos logo when playing back the appropriate sources, so I'm confident its definitely Atmos content.I've tried several things to try and improve the height effect, but have had no joy so far. Every time I've tweaked positioning, I've re-run Trueplay. What's the ideal placement for the Arc in terms of distance giv

Hi,I have a question. I just installed a Sonos Beam in my leaving room. Works well but I already had two Sonos Play 5 paired to play music that I wanted to use them as surround speakers as well. Unfortunately, when I go in the app and try to set up the surround options, the only choice I have is for Play 1 that are in other rooms but no option to choose the two Play 5.any advice on how to do this?thank you!

I have a playbar, gen3 sub and 2 one sl set up as a surround sound in my living room. I loved is and the gen 3 sub is very powerful and just how i like it. So i bought the arc, gen 3, and 2 more one sl to put in my man cave. I figured it would be amazing in the smaller room but the sub sounds weak and nothing like the same sub in the living room. What could be wrong

I am trying to see if there is a way to split the signal coming out of a Roku Ultra to send one signal to my old Samsung TV and a separate signal to the Sonos arc.  My goal is to get Dolby Atmos sound out of my Sonos Arc.  My old Samsung TV doesn’t support Dolby Atmos pass through.I’m sure this is a common problem for many people with older TV’s.  I think there are only about 5 TV’s on the market right now that can pass through Dolby Atmos to a Sonos arc.

Hi all, I have heard all about HDfury Arcana. I have an old Samsung TV from 2013 with Sonos Arc + Sub + 2 Ones SL. I am looking to push Dolby Atmos out from the setup.Arcana is good, but expensive. Am looking at a 4K HDCP compliant HDMI splitter (not HDMI switch) to split the source to 2 HDMI out, one for TV, one for Arc.Can this work? Thank you in advance.

I have an existing 5.1 Non Sonos in ceiling surround home theater system wired to a Yamaha A/V Receiver. I would like to eliminate the receiver and add an ARC for Front Speakers and use the in ceiling speakers for surround speakers. I was planning on using a Non Sonos amp to power the ceiling speakers. Is this possible?  I was also planning to add a Port to this system to listen to music services. thx 

Hello,My Sonos Arc until Now,Respond perfectly to my LG oled gx Magic Remote Control.Why it Stop Working Suddenly,Without touching/changing Nothing?Please help Me.Waiting to your help…Best Regards.Yossi.

Setup:TV: Samsung UN60H7150 -- Doesn’t support DD passthrough, and app support is old enough that I don’t use.Sonos: Playbar, Sub, (2) :1 rearsInput: FireTV through an HDMI switch w/ an integral optical splitter. Also a PS4 connected to switch. The FireTV actually has a version of Netflix that outputs Dolby Digital, not +. I’d like to upgrade to something less clunky than Fire TV, I frankly don’t like the Amazon interface, and lately the device seems to be restarting on its own multiple times a day. But it seems everything out there only supports Netflix in DD+. Is there anything else out there that can output DolbyDigital Netflix, without requiring either a new TV or an Arc??

I understand that you can group together other pairs of surround Sonos products to a existing 5.1 setup. However I would much rather be able to pair four ones to a beam as a single group so it’s a genuine surround in comparison to grouping others to imitate stereo and surround together. A 7.1 system update in the app to allow this I believe  everyone could get behind.

Hi All, I have recently purchased an iPhone 12 mini. I have true-played with the iPhone 2-3 times now. My ARC just sounding very tinny now, has anyone else had this issue? are the newer iPhones an issue when true-playing?     

I have a Bean and two Ones for my TV. A lot of the time the voices on the TV program are quiet but the sound effects are loud. I find myself having to constantly turn the volume up and down.is there a way to even them out?

Hello, My TV has ARC, but not eARC, so I’m getting the HDFury connector to pipe ATMOS from my AppleTV to my ARC.  My TV has other sources, and the room has the ARC and the Amp, is it possible to have BOTH my tv ARC connected to the Amp HDMI input and the AppleTV/HDFury connected to the ARC (for ATMOS)?

Recently purchased Sonos arc/sub/2 one SLs paired with samsung QN85Q60T. Dolby atmos reflects for Netflix movie (El Camino) & Prime (Jack Ryan). However, all other shows/movies do not display Dolby atmos? Further, movies on Disney +, Apple TV, HBO max (justice league) which supposedly supports DA, Sonos app only displays Dolby 5.1?!  anyone experiencing the same? Is it related to Samsung TVs? 

Hello,I have a very annoying and disapointing issue with my Sonos Arc.First , with streaming services like Spotify, I need to put the volume up to 50% for earing music with good quality (loud and clear), whereas  20% were enough with my previous soundbar. I am a little bit sad about this. Second, the tv sound (lg cx 55’) is much louder and clearer without the sound bar. I need to put the sonos arc to 70%. (dolby 2.0) On Amazon Prime, directly from the tv : 30% is enough (dolby 5.1) , on netflix 40% (dolby 5.1 or pcm 2.0), spotify and youtube 20%. With the PS4, LPCM is not a fairy tale, i can’t passtrough 5.1 correctly , the app indicates 7.1 and the sound is very quiet. On dolby the sound suffers from a brief delay and it’s not very clear. I am very annoyed and disapointed, i wouldn’t recommend sonos. I can’t return my soundbar to my local supplier now, but for me it is just not usable. My tv is up to date, my soundbar is up to date .. I’ve tested many combinaison (arc → earc, passtrou

I have a Sonos Beam with [2] Play:1’s connected to a Toshiba Fire TV, with the Beam connected through the HDMI/ARC input.  Any time the TV is turned off/ it does not start up with the Beam as the audio output - it always defaults to the TV’s internal speakers.  The CEC is turned on, PCM is turned on.  No other HDMI inputs.  DO I need to unplug everything any time I want the Beam to be the audio output???  All firmware is updated for TV and Beam..  Autoplay is on and obviously not working.  

I absolutely love my current Beam + 2 Play-1 surround setup, and have gotten proficient with the available EQ, TruePlay, Speech Enhancement options. My only issue has been when watching live television musical performances where the singer(s)' vocals are far less clear and muddled with higher musical instrument and crowd cheering sounds. I recall during the Grammys and the lile tinkering with the TV EQ bass/treble volume levels on-the-fly and the speech enhancement option but this approach is very inconvenient and wasn't ideal. It kind of ruined an otherwise pleasant surround sound TV experience. Am I doing something wrong? Could this be a new feature for live tv musical performance vocal enhancement?I also have two One SLs in other rooms. Should I switch out the Play-1s for the SLs?

I have a TCL TV with roku built in and I used it with my Sonos beam with two One SL speakers as a 5.0 set-up. I connect the TV to beam through HDMI-ARC. I realize I can only receive surrounding TV audio when the output is dolby digital (e.g., the Dolby roku app), but not dolby digital plus (e.g., all other apps including netflix, hulu, disneyplus, etc.). How should I correctly set up my speakers or TV?
