For my family room I have Beam + Sub tied via eARC to my OLED TV. Nearby is a Sonos One in the kitchen and a Sonos Five that I often “group” via the app so I can hear the TV in these other areas. Trouble is when we mute or change volume using the TV remote, the other devices remain independent and don’t change with Beam + Sub. 

Is there a way to get all these to be controlled by the TV remote? This is mainly for convenience, not having to open the app and manually adjust the grouped speaks.  

I’m not interested in surround-sound bonding, just main audio from TV being controlled by TV remote. 

No.  It has been requested in the past, but no sign of it happening any time soon.


Use Sonos Voice Control on the Beam. Voice commands act on the entire group. 

For a physical control you’d want to use something like the IKEA sound remote, for which you’d also need an IKEA hub.
