Hi Folks

I have a two year old Gen 3 Sub connected to Arc and Two Sonos 1 surrounds in my lounge.  The Gub has started to emit a cracking/electric noise intermittently.  It also sounds like running water - it’s the most bizarre noise.  I have rebooted, disconnected, etc, etc.   I can see others appear to have similar issues.  I’ve tried the Sonos virtual assistant but that was just infuriating.  I intend to call Sonos next week, but would value any advice.  Thank you, Mike.

Hi @Mike_Wright_411 

Thanks for your post!

As the Arc is in charge of what the Sub plays, I recommend giving it a reboot too. Removing the Sub from the Arc and bonding it back again may also help. Settings » System » Lounge » Remove Sub.

If the issue persists afterwards, I recommend you get in touch with our technical support team - getting a report from the Sub will be the best way to move forward.

I hope this helps.

Hi Corry

i have made the suggested changes and so far so good, although I haven’t watched much TV since.  
 

I’ll give it more time and let you know of the problems prevail.

 

Meanwhile, thanks again.

 

kind regards

 

Mike
