I have an Arc/Sub/One/One SL setup. Because their is no bluetooth function in Sonos Arc to stream, I use my laptop to play music and stream to my Roku which is the only way to connect. I want full stereo coming from the speakers I paid for and not ambient. Since the signal is coming from Roku/TV and not some Apple/Google device, Sonos thinks it’s a tv signal when it really is a music signal and I want full stereo in my two One’s which are my rear surrounds. It’s been quite difficult to play my flac files and such, but this is the perfect work around with a Roku until I purchase a NAS.
If you know how to force a music or tv playback let me know! This should be an option. What about live music shows for a party and you are stuck with a weak ambient signal coming out of your surrounds when you really need full playback in stereo? I know Sonos just wants you to buy more speakers but I’m not putting multiple sets of speakers in the same room, except maybe another sub! Don’t get me started on the fact that you can’t use the same speaker for two separate room configurations without going through an entire hassle of setups. Why they have selectively just begun to incorporate bluetooth. The data collection has been too good for them.
