DTS HD support

I’ve been growing my 4k movie collection and one of the most frustrating things to have a reference quality audio track but it’s not decoding its full bandwidth. Is this a hardware limitation? Does Sonos have any plans to add this support along with dts x? I know many cheaper less than soundbar systems with dts x support.

Lost Speaker using Trueplay

Hi All, I wanted to revive a topic from a few years ago about trueplay “loosing” a speaker during tuning. I upgraded my family room setup with an arc that replaced a beam. I went through the steps of disconnecting the surround and sub from the beam which I loved to another room. I then added the arc and the associated surround components. When I listen everything seems to be playing. However when I go to tune I get a “lost speaker” as shown on the screenshot attached. I went through multiple total reboots of my WiFi and the speakers per previous suggestions but it doesn’t seem to help. I submitted a diagnostic 137804396. Any insight would be appreciated!!

sonos beam disconnects from phone

Just my IPhone disconnects from my beam at least once a day when I use it.  I have it connected to my tv but it is through wire and is fine.  I have reboot my Sonos many times for this and I shouldn’t have to do this all the time.  I have everything up to date that will allow me to update.

Can Sonos Arc connect wirelessly to an LG TV

I've seen LG are selling a product called WOWCAST which allows you to plug into your TV, out of sight, and replaces the HDMI connection to your soundbar wirelessly. Giving you a clean, clutter-free style, with no unsightly cables between TV and soundbar.Is WOWCAST compatible with Sonos Arc (which i own)If not compatible is there any other product that allows this wireless connection to a SONOS Arc ?

My Sonos Beam (1) misses sound for about 10 seconds repeated for about 2 minutes

I thought it was my tv that caused the error and bought a new one. But the problem is also using that tv. So the error is caused by the Sonos Beam. The Beam is now unusable.

Keep losing sound when watching specific apps on my TV

Hey, I have a strange issue with my sound on Arc when I’m watching/using specific apps on my TV.If I’m watching Youtube on my TV I keep losing sound every cca 30min for a couple of seconds and after that its back on. I can't guess what is causing it, because this happens just in a couple of apps and with others everything works flawlessly.There also no issues when I’m listening/streaming music directly to Sonos without TV.I was testing Youtube app like so that I switched back to TV speakers and after that there were no issues with the sound.Even don’t know if I can submit diagnostics if this happens every cca 30min? Problematic apps:Youtube T2 (local tv programs) Voyo (local streaming service)No problems with apps:Netflix HBO Amazon Prime Disney+TV model: Philips 75PUS8506

Cine en casa

Buenos días. Estoy barajando la posibilidad de adquirir una barra de sonido para la televisión y me gustaría saber si por sí sola supone una mejora notable del  sonido o es necesario adquirir dos altavoces traseros irremediablemente.
