Home theater

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? 

Himy system for home theater is curently a playbar grouped with two sonos one used as surroundscan i replace the playbar with an ERA300 that will be connected to my tv by optical, and still use the two ONEs as surrounds as they are now? thanks

Hi I’ve got a Panasonic oled fz802 with arc hdmi port , I’m streaming Netflix and prime through 4k firestick through my beam 2 era rears and sub mini , sound is great and showing 5.1 dd plus , should I be bothered about not getting full atmos showing on the Sonos app with atmos movies ? I can get atmos when streaming Apple Music not sure what difference I would hear with a upgraded tv or a Arcadia fire etc 

Sonos has a lot of home theater setup guidance and with an Arc + Sub (3rd) + rear speakers; they state whether the system is 7.1 or 5.1:  For 7.1 you need an Eras pair, and for 5.1 you need the Ones.  Where do the In-Wall Sonance speakers (with TruePlay) fall?  Would they fall in to the 5.1 category like the Ones?I’m debating the In-Wall.  I have existing in-wall (2015 episode speakers with very comparable system specs as the Sonance) however the cut out is 12”x8” vs. the Sonos required 10.75”x6.93”, so I think the hole is too big and would cost (dry-wall) a bit to remedy.  But I think I’d only be missing the TruePlay option.  If you have a similar setup, I’d like your opinion on how well it works.  What I don’t want to do is buy a pair of speakers and then have unused in-wall speakers.p.s. I did search many prior questions and did not see my specific question but several similar ones.

And attempting to mute the sound of the arc sound bar I’m not having any luck. connected via eARC HDMI PORT. I have Gone into the television settings, TV sound only, mutes the sound bar for five seconds but then the sound bar comes back on?  any suggestions?

Just bought an arc soundbar and trying to connect it to a Samsung Q series via hdmi arc port and system thinks the soundbar is a now tv device. Soundbar works fine as a speaker but can’t connect it to tv.  Any ideas anyone?

Hi,I have a Samsung Q70AA 65” TV and recently upgraded to ARC, Sub and ERA100 in a home theater setup. I have connected the ARC using the HDMI cable to the eARC HDMI on the TV set and ran through the normal setup process. However, now the audio is skipping out for a few seconds every few minutes which is really annoying. Does anyone have any ideas?

HiLooking to replace my existing Yamaha 5.1 system with an Arc.  Doing so to de-clutter the room.  I already have in-ceiling Yamaha rear speakers (wired) which I was hoping I could utilise.  From what Ive read, looks like I need to get an Arc and a Sonos Amp.  Some questions I had: Are there any known issues with using Yamaha in-ceiling rear speakers? Am I correct in assuming I need an Amp for the rears?  Any way to connect them to the soundbar directly? From a sound perspective, is it worth buying an Amp just to connect rear speakers?  Not using any other Sonos product.  Just want good surround sound. Does the Arc have google home inbuilt?  I have a dedicated good home speaker.  Was hoping  to sell the existing google home speaker and use google home via ARCAll my TV shows/Movies will be coming from a Apple TV device connected to my Samsung TV..  We mainly watch shows on Netflix and ABC iView.. Thanks

Hola,Os escribo para ver si me podéis echar una mano.Primero os cuento lo que tengo:TV Lg C2 AppleTv 4k 2023 Sonos arc con sub mas dos One conectados al puerto eArc de la Tv.El motivo por el que os escribo es que en algunas ocasiones al reproducir desde el AppleTv contenido en multicanal PCM 5.1 o 7.1 no se reproduce la pista de audio principal por la Arc y se reproduce por los One, para que se reproduzca correctamente tengo que salir de la reproducciones y volver a entrar varias ocasiones hasta que se reproduce correctamente.Por mas que he tocado la confirmación de la Tv y del AppleTv no he conseguido que deje de hacerlo y solo cuando configuro la Tv en modo transferencias parece que no lo hace pero no se reproducen todos los sonidos como cuando está en automático. Todas las configuraciones de la Tv los tengo en Automático y Bitstream.La gente de Sonos estuvo analizando los logs de diagnóstic

Hi, I have the arc,gen3 sub I'm thinking of getting the era 100's for surround sound.My room is oblong 17ft by 8ft my settee is up against the wall)17ft so my seating is 6ft away from sound bar and TV, the eras will be roughly a foot behind me, will I still achieve suround sound or am I too close to sound bar, in other words will the sound bar drown out the rears?

Hi everyone !i finally bite the bullet and got a sonos sound system. I ordered beam gen 2 first and in my 18 sq meter living room i was a tad underwhelmed. I read so much about it and also checked it myself in department store and i was waowed but… at home it felt a bjt underwhelming. Clarity was amazing but almost i can say it was rich enough. I got sub mini and that was a game changer. Dverything elevated! Sound was fuller and richer. I can genuinely hear the difference and felt what everyone was saying (sub mini will help beam to offload the low frequencies). anyway, after my long winded entrance….lets talk about surrounds. Era 100 s were next to order. They havent arrived yet but i am already regretting a bit my purchase since i feel like it wont be that different for a surround speaker compared to sonos one. I know there is an extra tweeter and mid woofer bigger etc. But… i wondered if i am gonna be still ok with a second hand cheaper sonos one for rear.

I’ve a reasonable Sonos system consisting of various One’s Move, Playbase, Sub etc. I quite often do a full group play around the house while doing stuff. It’s not that often though I sit in from of my Mac and listen to music on one individual Beam. I had been aware though with YouTube that the sound of definitely around 70/30 to the left in pan. Made more aware of it this evening while listening to some actual music.  I’ve tried various sources, Mac via hardwired HDMI through a CALDigit TB3 Hub (normal setup)Tried airplay from my Mac, iPhone, iPad but all with the same pan issue. I do however have a second Beam connected to a TV in one of the bedrooms. Quick swap out and the issue persists.Double checked the stereo on the Playbase and that’s perfectly down the middle.  Any advice please?

just hot a sky glass tv, The sound plays ok through the Sonos system but I cannot control the volume, a quick Google seems to show this is a common issue. Just wondering if anyone has found a solution?The soundbar is connected to the tv via HDMI-arc 

My Sonic Beam occasionally cuts out, I have to power off by socket and restart.
