Hi there will my Sonos One Gen 2 pair connect with the Sonos Ray soundbar? I’m hoping to use them to connect to my TV for surround sound.

Hi, I'm a total novice. I'm going to buy a Sonos Beam (Gen 2) and additionally a few Symfonisk speakers. I read on the Internet that they can be used as surround speakers and that's why I had a few questions: - Is it possible to make the symfonisk speakers play continuously, e.g. when I watch something without an atmos track (or also with atmos)? - Is there a limit for additional speakers and can I set their position relative to myself using some equalizer? - Will everything I play on TV be heard by the set I create? - Is it possible to use this set also as a sound source for a Windows PC?

Hi, My brand new Arc is driving me nuts because any time someone touches the TV console the power cord gets shaken loose and the speaker setup stops working!! Has anyone else had this issue? Can you please suggest how I can get the cord replaced as it must be covered under warranty?

Hi! I just added AMP (with ceiling speakers) to my ARC and SUB- )previously had a pair one SLs for Surround so know have to set it all up) but am not getting the AMP to work in the surround- it works along when I separate it and play music to it- but then when I pair it back- it says it succesfully is completed, but then nothing comes from the speakers- any help would be great!!

Just got my Beam Gen 2 and two Era 100 speakers home yesterday, and installed them on out TV.  Obviously, excited about the Plug-and-Pray process I was about to embark on, knowing full well it wouldn't work, but up for the challenge.After 3 hours of constant speaker resets, adding and removing speakers, etc. Etc. - still no surround sound, regardless of the sound source (Dolby atmosphere, etc.)  The speakers go through the process of creating the Surround group, and I get the confirmation in the app (and that great sound to confirm) then when you check the two Era 100 spealers in the System tab in the app, they show as not connected.  No sound, no connection - nothing.I'll close out that I'm not an audio wizard, but I have worked in the IT & AI industry for 30 years, and aside from the app being super not user friendly, I have gone down every rathole there is to resolve, and so far I have a Beam that works, and two expensive book-ends either side of my TV..…

Hi everyone. Since the 16.1 update the volume on my system has dropped a lot. If  I had it on 45/50 now it is 60/65 & the sound is very flat, not happy at all, it was superb before. LG C2 tv, Sonos gen 2 beam, sub mini, 2 era 100. Any one else having similar problems?

Hi,I currently have a Sonos Arc, and I’m planning to buy a couple of Era 100 and a Sub to build a home theater system.I would also like to use that system to play vinyl, and I could buy a Pro-ject T1 Phono turntable, both line in or bluetooth.What is the best way to use a turntable with an Arc+2 Era100 home theater system?

Hello,I've been reading a lot of reviews about the Sonos Sub Mini, every interview have tested the Sub Mini with a soundbar and mainly with one of Sonos' own soundbars (Arc, Beam, Ray). I have Sonos AMP with two bookshelfspeakers (B&W 607) for my TV in a medium sized livingroom. Im wondering if anyone have tried the sub mini in a similar setup and if it works well with that type of setup? Or if anyone have any thoughts on this?

I’m sure this has been asked here before…I moved my Sonos One (paired) from my Garage to TV Room, after adding wall mounts for Ones. In order to use the Ones as 5.1 (with my existing PlayBase/Sub/Fives) I have to unpair the Ones? What happens when I want to play just music in the TV Room, since my Ones are not paired anymore? Do I have to pair the Ones everytime I want to listen to music and unpair them when I want to use them as my 5.1?

I have a Sonos Playbar connected to a flatscreen TV (Samsung) via Optical cable, and also connected to a TP-Link router via Ethernet cable (as shown in my included diagram).I essentially have 2 issues:No sound coming out from the Playbar. I checked that the connection is working fine, by connecting the optical cable to another, simpler set of speakers. There is sound output via the second set of speakers. I am unable to configure the Playbar in any way. I can connect to it via my mobile phone, using the TP-Link router as the ‘gateway’.   I first tried downloading the ‘Sonos S2’ app, which stated that the device is incompatible. I then tried downloading the ‘Sonos S1’ app, which insisted that I update the device. However I do not have a wired internet connection at this location.Hoping for some sugges

Would it be possible in the Sonos app for macOS, to display the Dolby Atmos label as it is in the iOS app? I often listen to music while working on my Mac, and play Dolby Atmos songs through the Sonos app via Apple Music. But often there are multiple versions of an album, and I can't tell at a glance which is in Atmos and which is not.  

hey community, i know it’s an odd question. First of all i have to say i am loving my setup. the only thing i am not feeling 100 percent amazing is beam gen 2 maybe doesnt feel sometimes “full” enough or “expansive” enough for casual tv watching or dialogue for movies. It’s very very clear and clarity is amazing it’s due to size of the bar it feels at times a bit “narrow”. My hunch was wait for the arc gen 2 and either sell my beam gen2 second hand or repurpo in a different room. Having said that i saw samsung q990c system which is a true atmos bar with upfiring bar and rear speaker and it made me question myself a bit. Might sound like i am looking for reassurance and maybe i am :) but i truly love the Sonos system and the flexibility and advantages of modularity of it. I usually watch movies but i also with the quality of system i started to listen to more music in my living room with Era100’s set to Full for music, it’s beautiful.I was just curious if

Working on an outdoor deck project and want to blend 2 types of speakers (LG Soundbar & Sonos Outdoor) through Sonos amp, but not sure if the series of HDMI/wiring schematics will work.Attaching a visual of my plan, but was thinking about the following order:TV would run HDMI (Earc) to LG Soundbar HDMI IN LG Soundbar HDMI OUT (ARC) would run to Sonos Amp Sonos Amp would be wired to Sonos Outdoor SpeakersOutcomesWould be able to play audio through all 3 speakers through TV Would be able to play music through Sonos outdoor speakers from phoneThe alternate thought was running 2 separate HDMI lines (one to soundbar and one to Sonos amp), but was thinking that TV might make me choose between HDMI port for sound to come out EITHER soundbar OR Sonos outdoor speakers VS coming through both.

Hi I have Beam 2 procured in US with US power cable. Can  I directly connect it in India power outlet or do I need stepup dc-to-ac  converter?

Hello! I recently bought an Arc soundbar and i want to get Atmos from my PS5, but I can't. I can get atmos through Fire Tv Stick 4k, but not ps5... I was wondering if this splitter would do the trick. (I can't afford a HD Fury, I'd rather buy a TV) https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKIeoaE

This would be a total of 5 speaker all working together. Beam, 2x play3’s, 2x play1’s and eventually I’d like to add the sub. I’m getting mixed answers off general web searches. Would these all work together? Currently, ive been running just a pair of play1’s and the beam. Just bought a used play3 to make a pair out of the one I have and this is what inspired my question. As I’d always run the play3 solo in another location. Now I’d like to add them all to the same room! Anyway let me know folks that know more than I regarding Sonos!!! thx

My play 3 rear speakers make a whooshing noise on some programs. Other times they are fine. I have to turn off the rears when some programmes are on

I would like too know if I bought 2 pair of in wall Sonos speakers and 1 amp. Could I use a pair for each side left and right and still set up the surround sound off the arc and 2 subs? 

Hi everyone!I’m new to sonos world and loving it overall. I did a test on something today which was quite confusing for me. I have sonos beam gen2 + sub mini + 2 era 100’s for surround. I have a 55” lg tv and apple tv 4k connected via hdmi. Sonos beam is connected via earc hdmi port. When i watch netflix on apple tv 4k, ie the gentleman, i get “multichannel pcm 5.1” but if i watch it on lg smart tv’s netflix app i get dolby digital plus 5.1 which i prefer because it’s louder and cleaner for dialogue weirdly. I have earc on, pass through and bitstream set up on tv and on apple tv 4k - i have audio/change format OFF, dolby atmos ON. Even if i turn on Change Format and keep dolby digital 5.1 i have the same on my sonos app “multichannel pcm 5.1”Help :) 

Is the cable supplied with the arc soundbar earc?

If you still have trouble using Sonos with a projector, I strongly recommend Orei HDA-934 (https://www.orei.com/collections/new-arrival/products/4k-hdmi-audio-extractor-switch-with-earc-and-edid-management-hda-934). It is only $100. I have Sonos Arc, AMP, and they work perfectly. It supports Dolby Atmos and I have tested on my Apple TV, Xbox, and PS5. More importantly, it supports multiple HDMI inputs. Strongly recommend!

My current set up consists of a Sonos Arc + two Sonos One + Sonos sub. I’m thinking about adding two Era 300’s for the backstage, will this be overkill? And would it make sense to move the Sonos One’s to the front?

My Sonos Arc is connected via HDMI eARC to Sony Bravia XR X90J.I have noticed a random cracking/popping/clicking sound in my Sonos Arc while playing audio or sequences with heavy bass. This does not always happen. For example, while playing STRANGER THINGS Season 4 on Netflix with Dolby Atmos, I notice no issue despite the show's excessive bass. On the other hand, playing CLASS, especially the Episode 6 pre-credit intro scene, the cracking/clicking/popping sound is so loud. I noticed similar sounds while playing YOUNG SHELDON season 6 on prime video.The cracking/clicking/popping sound fades away if I reduce the bass to -10. If I increase the bass to +8, the sound gets louder.I have tried restarting the unit, removing the HDMI cable, re-attaching it a

I have Sonos in other parts of the house. Bought a Sonos beam and mini sub for another room. Was working fine for about a month and all of a sudden it now only plays background sounds coming from Netflix and no voices. I use Apple TV gen 4 with Netflix, loaded as an app. Paramount, prime, Apple TV, and other apps have no issue issue. Nothing has changed with my TV or the set up. Voices just stopped coming over the Sonos Beam when playing Netflix. Interesting note my TV is connected to the Internet and has an app for Netflix. Voices work just fine on that. So you would think this may be a Netflix app problem on Apple TV. However, Netflix has no settings to direct sound. So not sure where else to turn. 

I have a 5.1 system with 3 in ceiling channels R-Center-Left architectural and 2 book shelf surrounds. The current amp is a Sony DA4ES from back in 2000. I also have a set of patio outdoor speakers.  I would like to update and gain wireless functionality and still have all the current functions. Suggestions on how to convert?
