Hi, favor to ask the community as i’ve been searching for the last hr but no luck. 

I have a Samsung Frame TV and just installed an AMP + 4 sonos ceiling 8” speakers. 
I do not want a soundbar. 

So i’m curious how to get the sound working? 

 

I’m assuming HDMI-ARC from the FrameTV box to the AMP via HDMI cable? 

cheers

Hello @triplem, welcome to Sonos Community!

I’m assuming HDMI-ARC from the Frame TV box to the AMP via HDMI cable? 

You are correct, connecting the Sonos Amp with your Frame TV via and HDMI cable would work.

I should mention though that you won’t get Surround Audio that way. You would need a second Sonos Amp which would connect wireless to the first Sonos Amp for the two back in-ceiling speakers to play Surround Audio.

To explain it better:

  • Your current scenario:
    • 1 Sonos Amp → 4 in-ceiling speakers → HDMI to Frame TV. Two speakers would play the Front Left while the other two would play the Front Right on a Stereo setup.
  • Scenario for Home Theater Surround setup:
    • 1 Sonos Amp → 2 front L/R in-ceiling speakers → HDMI to Frame TV
    • 1 Sonos Amp → 2 back L/R in-ceiling speakers → wireless connection accomplished via the Sonos App for Surround Audio.

I hope this helps.
