First before we start, buying another amp is not in question.Current Setup:1x Amp 1x 3rd party Sub, FYI it does work in 4.1 2x 3rd party ceiling, 2x era 100.Problem is the front and back audio need to be swapped I can not find it in the mobile app. Anyone know how to get this working correctly.  

Hello, I’m wondering if this is the expected behavior for changing the surround level slider while listening to Apple Music in Atmos through the Sonos app on an Arc Ultra + Era 300 surround setup. When adjusting the slider, only the volume of the Era 300 outer-facing side drivers get louder/quieter; the inner-facing rear drivers do not have any audible volume change. In essence I can’t actually adjust the volume of the surrounds completely, as half of the surround drivers are at a fixed volume. I also want to clarify that I’m not referring to the height drivers — those are affected by the height slider as expected.

Bonjour à tous,J’ai une question concernant le Sonos Amp. Actuellement, j’ai une télé reliée à ma Sonos Beam, mais je souhaite passer à un vidéoprojecteur. Ma question est de savoir si le Sonos Amp peut relier ma Sonos Beam et mes deux Sonos Play:1 de manière non filaire, et si cette configuration fonctionne bien. Merci d’avance pour vos retours et vos conseils !Thomas

I have a Denon AV receiver with fabulous L & R wired front speakers. I also have a spare SONOS Beam. I want to combine the existing Denon L & R front speakers with the Beam, and two new SONOS Era 100’s for the rears and a subwoofer. Is this possible? If so, is there a schematic posted somewhere of how to do it? Thx…

Hello, I’m interested in using these components in my living room.What’s the best way to hook them up?I’m assuming it would look something like Apple TV > HDMI > Frame TV Connection Box > arc HDMI > Sonos Beam … but then what? Would the Beam and Amp be able to somehow sync wirelessly over WiFi?I’m new to Sonos, so I apologize if this is a dumb question 😂Thank you in advance for any advice!  

Okay, I bought a Beam Gen 2, 2 era100s to be used as surrounds and a Sub Mini. I set it up under my wife’s account using our wi-fi system. So, I go to Setting> your system, products & it shows the Beam, Era 100 Left surround, Era 100 Right surround and a sub mini. If I watch something in Tubi which I know is only in stereo in the Sonos app TV HDMI it shows Dolby Atmos. Same with YT. And there are no sounds from the surrounds but when I do True Play they play a sound. Have I got something set up wrong here?

Since the Arc Ultra has slightly elevated dialogue with speech enhancement off, I propose adding a speech enhancement category called “true mix” or “enhanced mix” in which the volume of the left and right channel audio matches the real-life mix. Or lower the speech and surround volume to match l-r channel volume.  Leave the other speech enhancements in their current form so if people like them they can still use them as is. 

Is there a way to make night sound come on a timer?Like make the surround sound speakers turn off, turn the base down, and really amp up speach enhancement.  

Hi!Im going to build a small cinema in the room you can see on the picture. Its not an ideal room size, but it is what it is. My problem is that i want to have a reflective surface for the era 300 which currently dont have a reflectice surface to the left, just a open space that i want to “remove”  by putting up a “surface”, which can not be a full wall from floor to ceiling. Can i use a cabinet/closet (ORANGE in the picture) to create this “wall”, and hosw tall and big should it be to work? is it enough to be a little taller than the higth placement of the era 300? (I gave bougth the original Sonos stand)Thanks! 

Hi All, need some help please. Would this space below be a problem for era 300s? As you can see, the wall juts out at the window and I was going to place one speaker there and one the other side where the wall also juts out. The couch will be in front of it. Just wondering would this impact on surround sound and if 100s would work better here? Thanks

Connectivity:New to the community but wondering if I can get help. I have 2 Sonos Amps - 8 Sonance ceiling speakers - sonos arc ultra and Bravia 7 tv.Doing a reno and have all the wringing set up to connect 4 speakers in the entertainment room to one amp.  The other 4 speakers will be connected to the second amp (kitchen/dining room).  The arc ultra will connect to the tv with HDMI. Assuming another HDMI connection from the entertainment AMP to TV will work to have the tv sound for bar and the 4 ceiling speakers?

Hi, My playbar seems to have developed an issue with decoding audio coming in over the optical connection. Not constant, develops after about 30s of working fine, then stutters for 2-5 seconds every minute or so.  so far I’ve tried:changing all output settings from pass through/pcm.changed input settings through all of the options.have tested each possible combo of input/output.Swapped optical cableschanged to an external ARC to Optical converterremoved surrounds (they weren’t stuttering as it was only playing 2.0 audio, it’s all on the playbar, but others had suggested it as a fix) All of the above still resulted in regular stuttering. It reduced if I used PCM but did not disappear. I have tested the optical out with an old digital/analog decoder and had no problems, I have also plugged the arc into my Sonos amp and have no stuttering with that (that was previously plugged into the external arc/optical conv

I have an Epson videobeam and every time I try to integrate it into a Sonos system via the HDMI cable between the videobeam and the Beam speaker I have trouble when I switch sources of sound at the Beamer. What is the seamless way to do it

Hi, new to Sonos Home Theater and Home Theater in General.I am building a house where the 65” television will be in a space that is 20’ wide by about 20’ deep with a 15’ flat ceiling.  The rear of the space opposite the television is the kitchen so the actual room is much deeper.  The furniture used for television watching (sofa and chairs) will be arranged in a U shape approximately 15’ x 15’ to rear of sofa’s and chairs within the larger living area space.  The floor will be tile with throw rugs.  There is a large glass sliding door on one of the side walls.  My question is whether the Sonos Arc Ultra Home Theater setup will work well within such a larger volume.  Will there be undesirable echo’s, will the 15’ ceilings be a problem?  With the planned furniture layout the rear speakers will have to be place in the rear corners of living area space, or about 20 feet to rear and off to the side of the television on cabinets or small table. Will this be a problem?We have

Just purchased a Sonos Ray and got it in mail today and went to setup and it’s giving no indication that it is powered. No light, sound, and not showing up on the app. How do I fix this issue or is it defective. 

Hello everyone and welcome back! Greetings from Rome, Italy :-)I have a question for the experts, because surfing the internet I've always found conflicting answers.On the right wall, I have a door with a glass panel in the center, so I'd like to eliminate the problem...As you all know, our Sonos systems "reflect" the side channels of audio and the Atmos effects onto the walls.For this reason, I've always thought that curtains weren't a good idea, because they would absorb these reflections, ruining the audio experience.But obviously, a surface like glass isn't a good one either...On the internet, I've found confirmation that glass isn't good, and they recommend "closing the curtains." But that seems contradictory to me! Or am I wrong? Absorbent curtains shouldn't be good for Sonos audio, since they could then affect the side reflections...Can any experts clarify this for me?And then, more importantly, how do I solve the door g

Hello, I have an issue where my Sonos system, a Beam, 2 Era 300, and a sub are not able to play.I have a Sony A80K OLED, the Beam is plugged in via hdmi to the Earc input. I also have a 4k apple TV and a PC for gaming. Prior to having the PC I had a PS5 and don't remember having any issues, but currently no matter what input/device I'm using I will get a message stating the external audio system is unavailable the only thing that seems to help is unplugging the TV power cable, I have tried many different settings on the TV, the PC, etc. I can probably provide specific answers to specific questions but I'm getting so tired of not being able to enjoy Sonos sound with my TV and gaming. Please help.

We just finished our basement and added a stone fireplace and hung our LG OLED evo 77” tv above. We are wanting to add some kind of additional sound system for watching movies. Are there any Sonos options out there that we don’t have to get a soundbar? 

I’m planning to set up a Sonos Arc ultra with two Subs(gen 4 and 3) for my great room and am debating between adding in-wall speakers powered by a Sonos Amp for a more immersive experience, or using a pair of Era 300s as surrounds. A few questions: If I go with the in-wall + Amp option, are there any limitations in terms of audio formats (e.g., Dolby Atmos, TrueHD, DTS)? Will the in-wall speakers only handle surround channels, or can they contribute to Atmos height effects? Does the Arc + in-wall setup provide the same level of immersion as using Era 300s with spatial audio? My hesitation with the Era 300s is that I have small kids (3 and 4 years old) and nephews who might knock them over. Any thoughts on stability or mounting options for the Eras? 

Hey folks,So I recently got a Sonos Arc (super happy with the sound 🔥), but I’ve been noticing something weird… every now and then it just disconnects randomly from the app. Sometimes it takes a minute to reconnect, other times I need to restart WiFi.I searched a bit and found a couple of similar reports, but not sure if it’s a common issue or just my setup messing up. Using Arc with eARC on LG TV WiFi is mesh (TP-Link Deco) Everything else works fine on the network Anyone else facing this? Or maybe some hidden setting I should tweak?Would love to hear your experiences 🙏

Awhile back, the Arc Ultra surround was changed so as to increase only the rear speaker volume with the TV level slider. I propose an option in which you can choose whether to increase the arc ultra surround and rear surround in tandem if you wish. This would maintain the balance between front and raar in certain mixes.
