Hello,I just bought the new Sonos Amp.  I want to use for our tv surround system with 2 pairs of in wall speakers, a Sonos sound bar and the Sub.The room is quite large (20’x24’) with cathedral ceilings.  Two (2) speakers are located on both sides in the lowest part of the ceiling, a few feet in the back of the sitting area.  I plan to have 2 other speakers (Canton) each sides above the tv set.Is that a possible and interesting setup for our tv surround system ?Regards.

Currently have my TV running into a Sonos Amp, running a 2.1 setup with a third party subwoofer.Just ordered a pair of One SLs to act as rear speakers, but have since read that this would cause the subwoofer output to be disabled - although the information seems unclear, as a lot of people with this issue seem to be using the amp itself to power generic rears directly along with something like a Beam up front (the argument being that in this setup, the amp isn’t getting sent the sub signal, which is fair).However in my case, the Sonos Amp would be getting directly fed a full range HDMI signal, and passing the rear signal on to the Ones. I can’t see any reason why it would need to disable the sub output in this scenario.So to clear up:If I have my TV running into a Sonos Amp, which is wired up to a pair of bookshelf speakers, and a third party subwoofer on the sub out, will the subwoofer output be disabled if I add a pair of Sonos Ones to act as rear speakers?

I have a Sony X950-h and a Sonos arc. I set the eArc mode on the TV to auto. Now whatever content I play through streaming services it says in the Sonos app that it is playing in Dolby Atmos, even with shows that I know for a fact are not in Atmos. Does anyone know why that is? If I turn the eArc mode off it then displays in the app the true audio however it will only then play Atmos content with Dolby digital plus. I just want to make sure that I am truly getting Atmos with Atmos compatible programs. Thank you!

We have a Humax that feeds our Samsung TV which then feeds via optical our Sonos Beam.  We are finding that gradually day-by-day, we have to turn the volume on the Humax higher and higher. Eventually we can go no higher and so we manually adjust the sound level using the control on the Beam to raise the volume. Then we can then reduce the sound level from the Humax.  So it seems as if the Beam gradually decides by itself t become less and less ‘sensitive’.

Hi,I opened this topic to know how to connect a turntable to a sonos home teather consisting of sonos beam and two sonos one SL ( later I will also buy the sonos sub ).It seems to me that I can connect a turntable to both an Sonos Port and a Sonos Amp but it is not clear to me which one to buy.I have this questions.If I decide to buy a third-party receiver ( such as Onkyo, Denon or Yamaha ) and connect the turntable to the receiver, then how do I connect the amplifier to my Sonos products?If I bought a Pro-Ject Carbon turntable instead, how do I connect the turntable to my Sonos products?Kind regards

I’m a proud new owner of a Sonos Move, an iPhone owner and am having questions syncing it with my original HomePod:1. I am able to have them sync together under the HomeKit app. I have them both under the same “room” in the app. But I have to manually toggle airplay 2 every single time to get them to play together. Is there an easier way to get this done (without having to go through the annoying steps to turn both of them at the same time?)2. Any hope of getting them to play a stereo pair yet or in the future?3. is it possible to get a subwoofer and have all 3 synced together?

Has anyone tried upgrading from the Arc hdmi cable supplied by Sonos as a way to achieve Atmos signal through the Arc?

Bonjour, j'ai une barre de son Sonos Beam connectée en ARC à ma télé Samsung.J'ai ajouté pour le soir, des écouteurs bluetooth en périphérique de sortie de son, mais lorsque je choisis cette sortie, cela permute automatiquement sur la barre de son après 3 secondes. Il ne reste donc jamais sur les écouteurs, et se remet tout seul sur le son de la Sonos.Ce que j'ai déjà tenté : - désactiver "lecture automatique" depuis l'application sonos, pour la barre de son, mais ça ne change rien.Si quelqu'un a une idée ? merci 

New to the Sonos game. Currently have a beam and 2x ones in a surround set up in my living room.  wondering if it is possible to play audio on just one of my ones in the set up individually? Or does it have to play in the full set up. 

I bought a Sonos Beam sound bar two days ago.  I love its robust sweet sound and voice clarity.  I was disappointed when I brought it home and connected to my television.  I am using an HDMI arc cable for connection.  I chose not to load any apps on the sound bar because all I watch/hear is on my internet driven television.  As you know, the sound bar’s’s volume is driven by the television remote..  Here is the issue:  When I open Netflix, Prime Video and Disney Plus apps, and watch a movie, I need to turn the volume on the tv almost all the way to the max to get almost adequate sound coming out of sound bar.  When I open my You Tube, Apple TV, ABC News Live, CBS All Access and Spotify, I get a range of adequate volume depending on the app.  Spotify plays perfect at a volume level of 20 out of 100;  You Tube needs to be upped to about 40/100; Apple TV and the news apps need to be in the 50 out of 100 volume range.  I also have a Sony Blu Ray player that is connected to the television v

Hi,is there any cheaper alternative for hdfury arcana. I am using an old 2010 model sony tv which has an ARC port but unfortunately do not support dolby digital plus. My amazon fire tv stick which supports dolby digital plus hence i can enjoy atmos content on my sonos arc. Not in a position to spend money for a new tv hence looking for a cheaper option. Even an ARC output with dolby digital plus support is fine fo my requirements. Hdfury arcana is not locally available in New Zealand and its too expensive for me. Thanks in advance.

I’ve had an odd problem for just over a week now in that when I turn the LG 77CX on there’s a split second of sound from the Arc and then the volume immediately goes to “0” and the Arc volume has to be turned up again after which everything is fine. This happens virtually every time the TV is turned on, playing audio/music only, the Arc works fine. It’s definitely a problem with the Arc as unplugging the TV to Arc EARC cable and then turning the TV on works fine as audio reverts back to the TV internal speakers without the need to adjust the volume. I’ve had the Arc since release and not had this problem before, any helpful advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, just bought sonos arc last week and have already started getting sound cutting out issue. I have a Sony XH90 TV with eARC port and I connected the HDMI to eARC port. I frequently keep getting sound cutting out. I noticed this so far while watching on Netflix.I reviewed there are related topics on this forum but none seems to be helpful for me. Please help.

Hi, All-Waiting for my Arc/Sub/OneSLs to arrive and am wondering: Instead of a Port or 5, can I connect the turntable via bluetooth to my iPhone, then playback via Airplay to the Arc? Or...connect the turntable to my Samsung TV then HDMI(ARC) it back to the Arc?

I have by Beam connected to an LG CX via eARC HDMI, and while the audio is controlled via the TV remote, there is no numerical value for the sound level.It makes gauging the volume very difficult for some member of our family.Why do Sonos think this is a viable operation?

Hi! I am designing a new cinema / sport room set-up as part of a major renovation. I have a 65” LG OLED being recess / flush mounted above a 100cm bioethanol fire. I have rear ceiling speakers and a sub to connect as well. My question is - Sonos Arc surface mounted below the TV OR in wall hidden speakers below the TV? I am worried that a surface mounted Arc will look stuck on the wall and ruin the design. Recessed amp powered speakers will look smarter, but will they give good sound quality?  Thanks! 

I am an owner of a Sonos Beam and I am curious about the support of Dolby Digital plus (DD+).  The only surround codec that is supported by the beam is Dolby Digital 5.1 (DD5.1).At the moment the beam doesn't support DD+. Nowadays the standard audio codec within streaming services is DD+. Streaming services like Netflix and Amazon prime only use DD+ as audio codec for surround sound. Sonos profiles itself as a company targeting on  delivering good sound for streaming services.In my opinion it is the Achilles heel of the Sonos beam not supporting DD+. The beam wil produce no sound or poor quality PCM stereo using Netflix or Prime on older TV's that can not transcode DD+ to DD5.1. In the reality it will often result in no surround sound and the beam is preforming under its ability.Adding the support of DD+ wil solve this problem and make it up to date with nowadays standards.So my question will DD+ be added in the future as supporting audiocodec for the Beam?  

In short: I have an issue where my Beam keeps loosing it’s connection to my TV requiring me to reconfigure it (disconnect all other devices on the TV and run the Sonos app) every time I turn my TV on. In more depth… I’ll start with my equipment: Sony XBR-65X900E TV has 4 HDMI ports, two of which allow ‘enhanced 4K’, and one of those two is the ARC one).   Bravia Sync is enabled sound is set to output to Audio System running latest firmware (v6.6520) Beam - connected to the HDMI ARC port (#3)  also have the Sub and two One’s attached for 5.1 SGEYR SGHD501 4K HDMI Switch - connected to the second enhanced 4K HDMI port (#2) switch iis connected to a Vero 4K+, PS4, PS3, and Xbox 360 All HDMI cables are from Monoprice (Ultra Slim Certified Premium High Speed HDMI Cable, 4K@60Hz, HDR, 18Gbps, 36AWG, YCbCr 4:4:4) just in case it might have an impact My issue is that my Beam keeps loosing its connection to my TV every single time I turn the TV off. So, here is my process: I turn my TV on. I

Hi there,I just purchased an Arc and am planning to use it with my 4k projector setup. I’m concerned about positioning. Our 150” projector screen hangs from a rafter and is about 5 feet out from the back wall and comes nearly to the floor (we can’t move the screen any closer to the back wall). So, our only two real mounting options are:On top of the rafter that the projector screen hangs from (so the Arc would be about 12’ off the ground and 4-5’ below the A-frame roof. Low on the wall behind the projector screen (so about 5’ behind the screen, and 1-2’ off the floorWhich of these is best / any other ideas? FYI this will be part of a surround system with a Sub and 2 rear Ones. Thanks!

I thought I had this problem taken care of but it still seems to be happening and I am tempted to switch back to Optical connection instead of HDMI Arc connection. Sony Bravia TV keeps reverting back and forth intermittently watching Cable TV from Arc to Internal TV Speakers and I thought I had this taken care of by turning off Bravia Sync and Auto Audio Recognize but evidently that did not take care of this issue. The Bravia is still dropping off from using Sonos Arc and switching back to TV Internal speakers at times and its annoying and interrupts DVR shows etc. Some type of update needs to happen here since Bravia is still not recognizing the sophistication of using a sound bar on the HDMI 3 ARC input. This is not that old a Bravia, its a 2017 OLED and is fully updated. Any help on this?

Hi,Has anyone experience if the combo Sony TV A8H and Sonos Arc will work flawless together ? Any known issues ?ThanksFrank

Just picked up a Sonos Arc soundbar and before I connect the surrounds and sub I wanted to make sure that I'm able to get Atmos output on the soundbar from my Nvidia Shield that is connected to my Marantz Receiver.Here's my equipment:TV: Sony XBR65Z9F (eARC compatible)Receiver: Marantz 6014 (eARC compatible)Media Player: Nvidia Shield TVSoundbar: Sonos Arc Here is how things are connected:ARC is connected to Sony TV via HDMI 3 (eARC enabled)Marantz is connected to Sony TV via HDMI 2Shield is connected to Marantz HDMI 5 Playing apps directly from the Sony TV result in Dolby Atmos being output on the Sonos ARC. The issue like many people have is that I have multiple devices connected to my Marantz and prefer to use the Shield to launch my streaming app (netflix, prime, hbo, plex, etc).If i connect the Shield directly to the Sony TV via HDMI 2 then I can get Dolby Atmos to play on the Sonos. If I then connect it to the marantz then I will only get PCM. Here's the kicker....I enable HDMI p

Was using my Xbox series X with my Sonos ARC when it made a really loud bang/pop noise and I lost all Audio to my ARC. It’s reconnected however the sound is way quieter than before, I have to put the volume up to around 50-60 to get it to a normal volume when in the past I could have it at 20. I ran a diagnostics dunno that would say if a driver was damaged? 1651538776. Any body else had this and needed a replacement ARC?

Hi, i have a “problem” with my setup, that i can read many people have.   My setup is: TV: Samsung UE49KS7005 Nvidia Shield 16gb 2017 version Sonos Beam+2play:1 rear speaker. Cable: HDMI ARC between TV and beam Shield connected to HDMI port on samsung tv HDMI input. When ever i play Netflix, plex movies on the build in app on my TV, the sound is decoded fine to Dolby digital 5.1.   but everything on my shield i play is mainly “Stereo 2.0” when i look in my sonos.   i know it has something to do with the sonos beam dont support DTS and whatever more.   first i thought i would look for a new soundbar setup, that could handle almost all codec from the shield, but before i do that.   Could this be solved by buying a media player, maybe apple tv or whatever, that can “decode” or transfer the signals to Dolby digital plus?   i just want a setup where everything i play isnt being downgraded to stereo, but either DTS / dolby dependent on what i watch on plex / netflix.   or a sma
