Home theater

Hi allI was wondering if someone can help. I'm considering buying the official sonos stand for my Era 300 and need to know the distance from the back of the Era 300 to the back of the stand base. The reason why is because I have my sonos stands against the back wall and want to know the distance of the back of the era 300 ro the wall. Thanks so much for your help 

Long thread on Reddit here Tl;drAffects iOS and Android, ie OS agnostic Affects variety of iPhones and Android devices ie device agnostic Affects multiple combinations of Sonos devices and firmware Affects multiple routers Steps to reproduce Use Spotify connect on Spotify app Actual behaviour The Spotify app thinks it's successfully connected to a Sonos speaker. The Spotify app thinks it's playing. No sound comes from the speaker. The Sonos app doesn't think anything is playing to the speaker, and doesn't show the Spotify connection (it'll either show the last thing the Sonos app thinks was playing on that speaker, or "No content"). Temporary workarounds include removing Spotify account from device and re-adding it, reauthenticating Spotify account from Sonos app, starting to play music via Spotify on Sonos app and then opening Spotify app. The problem always recurs, unsure exactly how quickly after.  Can a ticket be opened for this pretty please? ps For me at le

Good day to the Sonos Community!I can happily say that I have been influenced to buy the entire Sonos Home Theatre setup, with the Arc Ultra, Sub 4 and two of the Era 300s.Now, the room intended to have this setup is given below. I took some pictures for you to have a look:The Era 300’s will be installed somewhere on this wallApprox seating distance to the TV.Use of wide lens to show a little better the layout.So, I was wondering if you guys had any advice for the best possible placement for the Era 300s to give the best possible home theatre experience. Also, if you had any good advice on placement of the Sub 4 as well, that would be awesome. Thank you for your attention!!

I moved into a new house and ordered four Sony TVs and three Arc Ultras and one Beam. One set up (Sony + Arc Ultra) works seamlessly.  I can turn the TV on and the television’s audio routes through the Arc Ultra. Or I can switch over to the Sonos App and stream music to that Arc Ultra. I can switch back and forth with no issues. Simply works as one would want. The other three however require adjustment each and every time. When I turn the TV on I have to flip the audio output in the TVs menu from audio system to TV speakers and then back to audio system to get the television’s audio to route through the arc ultra (or the beam).  I checked the settings to ensure they’re consistent in both the Sonos app, as well as in the television audio menu system. anAny advice, please?

Has Google Assistant been added ? Otherwise I need to return this soundbar.In fact I might just decide to switch to a different ecosystem. 

For years been looking up answers why my SL one left surround sound keeps disconnecting. Did all the troubling shooting, unplug, reset, move the speakers closer, get a WiFi boosters. I may figured out a partial solution. I haven’t added the Apple Music account and haven’t lost the speaker since. So reboot the system and don’t add the Apple Music. 

I like that the dialog is very easy to hear without having to turn on any dialog adjustments. The problem is I barely hear the left and right channel audio. Background music is barely audible. I’ve tried it with both Trueplay turned on and off and there isn’t much improvement. I know the left/right channels are working because I hear music. Anyone else have this problem?

Anyone notice difference from 10/8/25 update for Arc Ultra, Era 300s, and Sub 4?Only asking since the patch notes are incredibly cryptic in what changed or attempted to improve. Very disappointing Sonos chooses the mystery approach.

I have spent over four hours on the phone via text chat and phone call with Sonos support trying to get a Sonos Connect to actually connect. It is hardwired through ethernet, everything else in my house works perfectly including all my other Sonos products, and yet their only “solution” after multiple calls was to tell me to contact my internet provider. The agent was polite but had no real understanding of the product, simply reading lines from a script with no technical insight.This is not my first attempt either. I bought the Connect four years ago and it has never worked properly. I gave Sonos another chance and they completely failed to stand behind their product. No acknowledgment that the unit might be defective, no replacement option, no escalation, just “call back again.”For a premium audio company, this level of support is unacceptable. I am truly disappointed and will not be purchasing another Sonos product.

Hello,I have a TV model LG-55LA620V, Google TV Streamer and Sonos Arc Soundbar with 2x Sonos Play:1(surround) added. The problem is that I can't get Dolby Atmos sound to work, only dolby digital 5.1. The cables are HDMI 2.1 and connected as follows: - Google TV streamer -> Tv HDMI 3 (MHL) - TV HDMI 1 (ARC) - Sonos Arc soundbar. What should I do to get Dolby Atmos sound?

I've just noticed that there's no sound coming from my Gen 2 sub, the lights are on but nobody's home!It appears in my app and says it's connected along with my Playbar but it's definitely not producing any sound. I've tried rebooting the router, turned the sub off then on again. Factory reset the sub and added it again and it tells me that it's been added successfully but it's still not working. Any suggestions? 

Why do I really have to crank up the volume on my ARC listening to Bluetooth versus something right from my TV

Hello all! I thought I was fairly tech savvy after working in the tech industry for 22 years. However, I’m having one heck of a time getting my Sonos arc SL and two era 100 surround speakers to speak together to create a home theater environment.  I have the Eras paired as a stereo pair in a system called ‘Living Room’my Arc SL is in a different Living Room system that is Living Room Arc SL error message:Two compatible Sonos speakers are required to add surrounds. Make sure your products are powered on and joined to the wireless network (which they are)

Buongiorno ho una barra beam collegata tramite cavo HDMI alla TV Samsung, adesso se compro altre due casse più u sub sonos. Le casse che sono lontane dalla TV si collegano alla TV e alla barra e al sub tramite wifi?, cioè senza collegare nessun cavo HDMI?  L' unico cavo che hanno se ho capito bene e quello per la corrente o hanno le batterie che si ricaricano? E il sub alche lui e wifi oppure ci vuole il cavo HDMI? Grazie in anticipo.  Moderator Note: Translation by Google Translate- Good morning, I have a beam bar connected via HDMI cable to the Samsung TV, now I have to buy two more speakers and a Sonos sub. Will the speakers that are far from the TV connect to the TV, the beam bar, and the sub via Wi-Fi? That is, without connecting an HDMI cable? Is the only cable they have, if I understand correctly, the power cable, or do they have batteries that recharge? And is the sub also Wi-Fi, or does it require an HDMI cable? Thanks in advance.

I’m looking for advice on where to put two Era 100s for a surround setup. You can see in the image below we have a strange, bi-level house. The TV, beam (gen 2), and the sub-mini are on the right side of the image below. The common TV viewing points are the sectional and the kitchen table and this setup would be used for movies, TV shows, sports, and music. There’s a railing right behind the sectional where the stairs are and the back wall is about 6.5 feet behind the couch. I’m considering either mounting the era 100s to the railing posts (this wouldn’t look very clean), adding a skinny table behind the sectional for the era 100s, or running some outlets up the back wall and mounting the era 100s to the wall (this feels like the rear speakers would be too far away and might lose sound to the basement). Does anyone have any better ideas or any thoughts on the existing ideas? Any advice would be much appreciated. 

Arc Ultra and Era 100’s  Anyone else have this setup and noticing that the Era 100’s as rears are doing less work with the Arc Ultra when compared to the standard Arc? I’m barely noticing any audio coming from the rears even with the surround volume turned up to maximum.  I swapped my original Arc back with the Era 100 surrounds and tested the same Atmos movies on the Arc and the Arc Ultra, and there is a significant difference/reduction in the signals being sent to the Era 100’s in the rear channels with the Arc Ultra.  Increasing the “TV Level” setting for Surround Audio in the Sonos app increases the front surround volume coming from the Arc Ultra but the signals coming out of the ERA 100 rears are almost non existent.  Is this behavior the result of how the Arc Ultra processes surround channels, and should be considered normal operation?

I am building a new space.  I plan on having an Arc Ultra under the TV and a pair of 8” in ceiling speakers slightly behind the viewing couch. I also plan on dual sub 4s.  Is it better to have them up front on either side of the TV, or on either side of the couch, or behind the couch on either side?  As I need to plan outlet placement and some other features in advance, I can’t test this out after the room is built.

Is anyone else experiencing a crackling noise with their Arc Ultra? I upgraded from the Arc to the Arc Ultra, which is connected to a pair of Era 300s and two subs. The crackling sound has been intermittent, mainly occurring when streaming movies.

Hola, Tengo un salón en L. En la parte más estrecha de la L tengo el comedor y en la zona más ancha tengo la TV (pared opuesta), que está colocada en una zona de doble altura. Me gustaría poner un sistema Sonos para tener música en las dos zonas. Qué me recomendais? Moderator Note: Translation by Google Translate -  Hello,I have an L-shaped living room. The narrowest part of the L houses the dining area, and the wider area houses the TV (opposite the wall), which is located in a double-height area. I'd like to install a Sonos system to play music in both areas. What do you recommend?

One-week-old Sonos Arc Ultra makes a noticeable popping sound when navigating in/out of content. It’s not the loud pop reported earlier this year, but still audible and annoying. Factory reset twice with no change. Happens with all content types (stereo, 5.1, Atmos, YouTube, Netflix, etc.). Setup: Apple TV 4K, LG C1, bitstream input, passthrough output, eARC, Sonos HDMI cable. No speech enhancement enabled. What are my options/next steps? Example captured on video:  

Hi, I lost sound the other night from my beam. I turned the TV on and off and it came back for 5 mins but has now stopped again. I have checked all settings, factory reset the TV and beam. Changed the HDMI cable. The TV is seeing the beam as I have the icons when I turn it up and down there is just no sound coming out. The TV works through internal speakers and the beam works if I stream to it. It is also seeing the TV as in the volume it says HDMI TV. I have turned everything on and off and now I am just at a loss. Could the TV just not be putting out sound? 

I have a “problem “ with my Sonos arc ultra : every time when i turn off my tv I still hear on the soundbar the sound of another tv channel for  30 seconds, every time its the sound of same tv channel , I don’t understand what is the problem, where I’m wrong, can someone tell me what to do? Regardless of which TV channel I watched, after turning off the TV, the sound of the same channel can still be heard 30 seconds from my Sonos arc ultra sound bar , after 30 seconds sound it’s gone and silence. 

Hi all. I have just got my new 4k player, having looked at the back of it, it has holes for putting the audio straight into the back of it, is it better to connect my sonos setup directly to this or not? It is currently setup via the tv so would it make any difference changing it to the 4k player? Thanks for any advice all much appreciated 😊👍
