Home theater

I just bought the system, I have 2 era 100, arc, and sub gen 3, it's sound amazing, but my question is, I want to use only the era for listening music before I sleep, because they are near and side by side my bed... I thought make another room and put only the eras in ti, but I can't find the way... If hope you can help me with this, 

I have 3 Sonos Amps and am connected to a new Samsung TV (HDMI). When I turn on the TV the Sonos will play in the TV Room but is erratic in allowing me to join the other rooms. When I try to join other rooms the Sonos switches the source to the Music sources while the TV plays silently. I can use the Xfinity remote to get the HDMI TV again but only through one room. I have to restart the TV and Sonos App to have it play in multiple rooms. It is really hit or miss. Not what you want in a high end system. Any ideas?

Hi Can anyone help me with setting up Era 300 to Sonos Arc. I have been trying to set up the surrounds speakers. But errors are remebered. What am I doing wrong. Please help

as of yesterday I was able to consistently use my television remote, which is an LG TV to use volume control for television and from music whenever it was being used then out of nowhere it stopped working not reconnect will not reset up to the television, but yet it is working with the television and I cannot get the remote control to connect it. All am I doing something wrong in the set up process or is there a fault that I’m not aware of 

In past I transferred my TV signal from Playbar to Move via grouping.Since the new app version, after grouping stays my Move quiet.Any settings I need to adjust? App issue?

 I have a Sonos beam (newest generation) connected to the eARC port on my LG oled tv. The sound is perfect when I play media streaming via WiFi to the beam. When I play tv audio, it’s fine for a few minutes then started sputtering, rapidly cutting in and out to silence. I thought it was the hdmi cable so I replaced it (twice, both with cables that advertised eARC support) but the problem persists. Anyone know how to fix this?

The new sonos arc and sub gen 3 doesn’t connect for any new updates.  Also it is unable to connect to my wifi. No matter what I do in the app

Got two Era300 home yesterday and added them with ease to the network and can play music through them with AirPlay for example. The problem is adding them in stereo to my existing TV-room setup. I’ve reset the devices, updated them.They are added to the network in separate rooms (like sonos says they need to be) but I can’t find them when I’m in the room with the arc+sub. I have the option to ad a pair as surround in the room, but when I try to add them the app doesn’t find any compatible devices. I ordered both of the from Sonos directly and updated everything once they arived.  

So .. reading the threads .. appalling situation from Sonos.sonos soundbar + satellite Ones have been working just fine for years.I moved house and changed the wifi network name. Reconnected the soundbar to the new wifi.App cannot see the update server so can’t complete the soundbar install.soundbar will not play tv audio.no settings on tv have changed.half the time the sonos s2 app doesn’t see the sonos devices.this is rubbish. any help please?

What is the next best system to totally replace Sonos with?

I want to buy a Sonos sound bar, but I have seen that the ARC was launched on June 10, 2020, and I don't want to buy it and the ARC 2 will be released next year, and moreover, Sonos is renewing or updating all the devices, only ARC is left... is there information about it?

I see this is a common problem. My first Sanos product, a Beam Gen 2, will not update. I've tried all suggestions re turning stuff off, giving it a dedicated IP, tried WiFi and wired, tried 2 iOS devices and 2 Android devices, same issue on all!!!! WTF won't this work and WTF won't Sanos admit this problem and fix it!!??!! This will be my first and last Sanos purchase and will be returning it Monday 

With the new App Update now released, our thoughts will be turning to the likely upcoming release of the Headphones. Another rumoured new product for Sonos is a Set Top Box.  You might question the benefits of this device with an already busy market of Streaming boxes and Sticks eg Apple, Amazon, Roku etc. What I'm really hoping is Sonos sees this device as the gateway to Sonos Wireless Home Cinema.  What I really would like to see, is for the Set Top Box to allow for wireless connectivity to Speakers for TV Audio (not just Soundbar).  I listen to more music than I do watch movies and I prefer the Stereo Seperation and wide sound stage of 2 Speakers rather than that of what a Sonos Soundbar produces.  And I don't want multiple devices up front to accommodate different needs eg Soundbar for TV, Speakers for Music. This technology already exists, as seen with Apple, Amazon, Samsung etc providing wirele

My playbar(1)has stopped working since the TCL TV has updated it’ software.  The optical setting is switched on but the playbar will not recognize the optical connection.  Prior to this upgrade the sytem was working perfectly along with my two Play 1 speakers setup as a home theater system.  How can i correct this problem.   I have been through the system setup again on the Sonos app but the playbar is not seen by the TV.

I have a Sonos Playbase, Sub and 2x Play 1s for my home cinema setup.  I’ve been curious about Dolby Atmos, which is compatible with my TV but not the Playbase. I get decent surround sound by using AirPlay but I was wondering if it could be improved by replacing the Playbase with the Beam 2nd Generation to get Dolby Atmos. Is it worth the upgrade? Thank you!

TENGO PROBLEMAS AL TRATAR DE CAMBIAR DE SALA MI SUB GEN 3, HAGO TODOS LOS PASO CORRECTAMENTE Y AL FINALIZAR , LA APP SE CIERRA Y NO SE HACE EL CAMBIO. CABE SEÑALAR QUE YA HE HECHO ESTE CAMBIO MUCHAS VECES SIN PROBLEMA PERO QUIZA FUE CON LA VERSION DE LA APP ANTERIOR.  YA RESTABLECI LA APP, LA ELIMINE Y LA REINSTALE Y APAGUE Y ENCENDI MI CEL Y SIGUE SIN FUNCIONAR . Moderator Edit: Google Translate- I HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE MY SUB GEN 3 ROOM, I DO ALL THE STEPS CORRECTLY AND AT THE END, THE APP CLOSES AND THE CHANGE IS NOT MADE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT I HAVE ALREADY MADE THIS CHANGE MANY TIMES WITHOUT PROBLEM BUT MAYBE IT WAS WITH THE PREVIOUS APP VERSION.  I ALREADY RESTORED THE APP, DELETED IT AND REINSTALLED IT AND TURNED MY CELL OFF AND ON AND IT STILL NOT WORKING.

My Sonos5.1 system is composed of playbase, one sl, and sub gen3. All of them are separated and pushed by airplay separately, and each speaker is normal. However, after combining them and pushing with airplay, the sound is trembling. The 2.1 system composed of one sl and sub gen3 is also normal, but it is not normal after adding playbase. I called sonos technical customer service and they said it might be a network problem. After talking for an hour, the problem was not solved. I use spotify connect to push music to the Sonos5.1 system and the sound is completely normal, which means that there is no problem with the network. Now only the sound when pushing to the Sonos5.1 system by airplay is trembling. Is there a compatibility issue between the sonos system and airplay? Have other users encountered this problem, that is, the sonos5.1 system with playbase has the problem of airplay sound trembling?

Hi. I’ve inherited an Amp and managed, eventually, to get it updated and connected to Wi-Fi. Both are showing on the App with the Amp as surround speakers. Because they are in a room far way from the router I didn’t connect both to it using Ethernet. Also the existing (Cambridge Minx Mini 11 - 8hms) speakers are already mounted on the wall. So is the Beam. It would mean physically disassembling. They are both Wi-Fi enabled. The Amp volume controls the Beam volume so there is connectivity.it seems odd in this day and age you have to hard wire products to connect?Needless to say no sound from the speakers. Also I’ve noticed the Music Playback ‘Full’ setting has now disappeared from the Surround setting in the current App update?

TV to Arc via HDMI, Arc wirelessly to Sub, SL’s (one room) and Amp (another room) and passives wired to Amp. The sound is echoey when the Amp is on and grouped with the Arc. Is this because of delay and how do I fix. My network is super fast and the Arc and Amp are within a couple feet of each other. If indeed the wireless setup is the issue, what’s an alternate setup? 

I recently bought a Sonos ARC.It's been absolutely great apart from when trying to play files on my Plex via Apple TV, the files play but there is no sound.When I put the files on a USB and play via that there is sound. So, it isn't the files.All other apps on Apple TV (iPlayer, YouTube etc...) play fine. So, it isn't Apple TVPlaying via Plex was fine playing through my old Sonos Playbar.The Arc uses HDMI eArc whist the Playbar used optical digital audio outThe only thing that has changed is swapping out the Playbar for an Arc.My TV is an LG G3.Had a look in Plex for audio settings but nothing obvious jumps out.Any ideas?

I have in my home TV setup the Sonos Arc, Sub Gen 3, and two Era 100 as surrounds. The front speaker sound is abysmal in the lower mid frequencies. I know now that there is unfortunately no way to extend the system using a Sonos product as an additional front speaker. I am now desperately looking for creative solutions. One idea that came to me early was to use the HDMI eARC output on the TV for the Arc, and then hook up a separate analog speaker using the optical audio out. This almost worked, but audio was too much out of sync. Another solution would be to get a receiver hooked up to the TV that could forward output HDMI to the Arc and analog to the front speaker simultaneously. I’m not sure though if that kills off the eARC functionality, or if this also leads to sync issues. What are your thoughts on this? Anyone with an Arc that solved the front speaker midrange problem? Any ideas welcomed.

What is the reason that I can't do Trueplay to my ARC with this new app now? It's the only Sonos speaker that I can't calibrate with my iPad Air 4. When are you going to fix this situation?Sonos ARC+Sub G3+One SL.I had already mentioned in another post that it would be better for Sonos to sell a specialized microphone to do Trueplay from any cell phone using the USB C port, thus saving the problem of calibrating each microphone that Apple uses on its devices.

I have a surround setup with Playbase, OneSL, One Gen1 and Sub Gen2. Is it worth adding a new second Sub Gen3 to the system? Is it going to make that much of a difference as it’s very pricy.. I understand there are app issues at the moment… I’m not after advise on the app.. just the second sub and if its worthwhile.

I currently own a Sonos Beam and Two Sonos One SL speakers functioning as a surround system for my television and for music.  Currently my Sonos Roam (1) cannot join the group of speakers i’m using at home.  If I upgrade to the Sonos Roam 2, is it possible to add this device to my current Sonos Sound system configuration as an additional speaker?  I would optimally like to use the Roam 2 as a speaker in another room while listening to music.  Any help would be appreciated.
