Home theater

hey everyone. i got myself a refurbished era 300. it came with a good discount and considering the 100 days return policy, i wanted to give it a shot. i love it overall! i was just curious about one thing. I only have 1 unit (not stereo) and i think music gets loud and room filling after 50 percent more like 65-70 range. is that normal? i guess the only reason i ask this silly question is my home theatre setup which is beam gen2, sub mini and 2x era100’s get very very loud. it’s probably a output total watt kind of thing but i wanted to check. thanks

Here is my scenario which i need to explain to hopefully have someone understand my issue and help with my a solution.  So my home is setup with ceiling speakers in every room with their own dedicated amp. The amps are all set up in my basement far away from my tv. I just bought a new Samsung frame tv and wanted to connect the tv to the ceiling speakers in the living room that it’s in, but i don’t have the option to run an hdmi from the living room to the amp in my basement. So what i did was buy a Sonos Ray speaker, connected that to my Samsung frame tv via an optical digital audio cable, and then i was able to add the Ray speaker to my Sonos system via its WiFi and was then able to link the ceiling speakers in my living room with the Ray speaker. So now I’m able to play my tv volume through both the Ray speaker and the ceiling speakers in my living room.  Here is where I’m having an issue. I want to be able to control both the Ray speaker and my ceiling s

Before this latest version of LG’s TV OS...I had a Sonos Arc setup with my LG G2 and there was just one sound control and the TV’s speakers were not used.  Now...the TV sends sound thru its speakers and the Sonos ARC.   Is this expected? How can I make it so I can manage both sources thru the Sonos app? Am I missing something ?

i have a silly question :)i have a portable projector. Halo xgimi+ which has an aux port. Due to my room layout i can only place the portable projector close to my rear speakers which are era 100’s. So the question is, if connect the projector via aux cable to my era 100 via sonos cable (usb-c to aux) would that allow me to use the whole home theatre system?

My sonos arc  not work with alexa, Sonos Skills not showing in alexa app, Problem face last few days, 

Hello,I have the problem that my Sonos soundbar suddenly starts humming. This happens when I use it while watching TV. Is there a reason for this or should I assume that it is defective? Thank you!

Hi there. I’m just wondering, if there is any chance of Arc gen.2 are coming this year.Thx.

Can I use my playbar as a Bluetooth speaker from my phone?

Our home theater resides in our Condominium living room. The system includes Beam Gen 2, 2 One Sl surrounds and 1 sun mini.We’ve seen multiple YouTube that recommend having 2 Sub’s and begs the question if the current S2 App can connect a 2nd Sub Mini?We opted away from the much larger Sub Gen 3 given its cost & our shared wall Condominium space.Thank you

Yes I know Arc is not compatible with S1 but I’ll explain why I have what I have. I have a total of 6 Sonos Connect Gen 1's, each powering 2 Sonos In-Ceiling Speakers in 6 separate rooms, including the Living Room. When we moved into this home, all that was already hooked up.   The Sonos Connect Gen 1s are of course only compatible with the S1 app   In my living Room, I have a Sonos Arc as my flat screen TV external sound system. The Arc is only compatible with the S2 app. The Arc is currently connected with a Sonos Sub (Gen 3) as the subwoofer. There are currently no speakers configured as surround sound speakers for the Arc. I bought these when I first moved into the house. I am new to Sonos so I didnt know about the S1 / S2 divergence/incompatibility.  The problem: For my Arc, I would like to be able to configure the Sonos In-Ceiling speakers in the Li

Hello everyone,I recently upgraded from an Orei UHDS-202 HDMI switcher to an Orei UHD48-EX230-K, and I'm experiencing issues with syncing my Sonos Arc sound bar with my main LG TV. Previously, the audio setup worked perfectly with the Orei UHDS-202, but now, I can no longer get the Sonos connection to appear on my LG TV. Here’s my current setup:- **Devices Connected**: TV box, Amazon Fire Stick, and PS5, all connected via HDMI.- **Outputs**: Two TVs connected.- **Soundbar**: Sonos Arc, which used to connect through HDMI ARC via the old switcher.With the new Orei UHD48-EX230-K, the sound bar isn’t recognized by my LG TV anymore. I’ve tried checking the HDMI ARC/eARC settings on my TV and ensuring all cables are high-speed and properly connected, but nothing has worked so far.Has anyone faced a similar issue or does anyone have insights on how to resolve this? Is there a specific configuration for the Orei UHD48-EX230-K that supports audio trans

Hei! I have a sonos beam gen 2 connected to a Philips 50PUS616/12 through Hdmi Arc. I have an apple tv conected to other hdmi and despitethe fact that most shows have dolby atmos, i never experienced it since the sonos app says that it is streamed in dolby digital 5.1any hints? Can i ever see dolby atmos on the app?

Hi there, i did everything to be able to listen to movie in atmos, i cant seem to be able to do it. I am able to listen to music in atmos but i cant with movies. I dod all the setup on the tv but i still cant. It always say Stereo Pcm. I am out of idea honestly.

Good morning.I'm in the process of building a house. and I want to build a home cinema. Should I wait for new sonos product launches in 2024?Will there be a possibility of Sonos making tower speakers one day?or with the new sonos2 app I can have the possibility of individually defining each place on my speakers, for example (1 pair of sonos one sl as surround another pair of sl as surround back, sonos amp and two tower speakers like monitor audio or triangle borea as left and right, sonos five as central speaker.....Thanks

HiI had a sonos arc installed with my samsung PN50B850 I have PCM stereo soundHow to get 5.1 soundI still love my TV but my sound is horribleThank you very much for your knowledge

The surround sound setup instructions with Arc and Amp (to utilize my existing passive speakers for rear and sub channels)  say that when the surround feature is activated for Amp, the Sub output in the Amp is deactivated. So I can’t utilize my existing non-Sonos sub in a surround setup? If the sub output would work for a music only Amp setup I don’t understand why it would be disabled for a surround setup. Am I missing something? This is a pre-purchase question so i don’t have hands on experience with AMP and ARC yet. Thanks,

I have connected my SONOS Playbar to my iMac via the former’s optical connection. I bluetooth (and have the option of hardwiring) the iMac output sound to a receiver that converts it into a digital optical signal that then inputs into the Playbar. I have the SONOS App both on my iPhone and my Desktop. The Playbar is configured and set up on both platforms. When selected to ‘TV’ the iMac sound output works on my Playbar, however after a while the SONOS App defaults to ‘Music’ and prevents the iMac sound output reaching the Playbar. Why does this happen and how can I stop it?

Does Sonos provide warranty in India for products which are sold in the Indian market ? Also does Sonos provide services which are out of warranty in India ? 

Dears, I noticed severe quality degradation since system was updated to 16.1.1. Sound is breaking every 30-60 sec. Any solution here? My set: Beam 2 + MiniSub+ 2xOne

Hi all, So I have 2 front and 2 rear in wall architectural rectangular speakers and 4 in wall architectural ceiling speakers. This is for a TV setup. Originally I wanted a 5.1.4 setup but wanted to stay with Sonos for ease.I know I can set up the front and rears with 2 Amps and surround, making a phantom center. Is there any solution to add in the ceilings with another amp or two into this setup? Do I need to just get a receiver, and if I do will the phantom center be less effective? I'd prefer not to add an Arc because of the crowded look between the TV and mantle… but would consider it if it was the only solution.

I have two questions: I recently purchased a samsung the frame tv and have a Sonos beam sound bar. The sound bar is connected to the One Connect box and produces volume, but there is no way to control the volume using the Samsung remote. Can I change this?   I have two Sonos One speakers that are connected to my living room. I tried adding the beam to the same Sonos group, but I get an error that my app is not the right one. I’ve uninstalled the Sonos 1 and Sonos 2 apps about twenty times, and I cannot get the app to recognize the sonos beam at all?

I am a long term customer of Sonos. Currently I own more than 20 devices. In my home theater I have an Arc, two 300's, and two Subs, one of them is a Gen 1 and the other Sub is Gen 3. My Gen 1 Sub shows as "Not connected", and for a couple of years now… I tried resetting many times, changing positions, etc. I don't know what else to do. Any recommendations? 

I would like to disable my Beam and only enable the 2 Five and my sub while playing music.an option should be added.a similar option is already available for the sub and the surrounds.

A few months ago we added a Sonos Arc to our LG G3 TV.  It worked great except that volume control only worked on the TV remote, but not the cable remote.  Then one day the volume control suddenly stopped working on BOTH remotes. So I can hear the volume but I cannot adjust it except by getting up and doing it by hand.  I’ve tried the LG Magic Remote specific instructions listed elsewhere, but they make no difference (when they even match what’s on my tv).   I’ve tried resetting the remote, making sure CEC is enabled, and changed just about every setting on my TV, but none of it makes a difference. Getting increasingly annoyed.
