Home theater

I just got the arc, 2 era 300s and 2 subs.  Can I add a turntable with a line in to one of the eras? Anyone pulled this off?  

I’ve recently moved and switched wifi’s. Connected my Sonos ARC just fine, and was able to connect the Sub to the app and wifi.The issue comes when I attempt to pair the Sub with the ARC. It will be stuck on “Adding Sub. This may take a moment...” and does not ever finish. I have called Sonos tech support multiple times to no avail. Please help.

Randomly lose sound when streaming through by LG Oled TV.   

I just setup HDFury Arcana, ARC, Apple TV 4K (Gen 3) and LG OLED C6 (2017) and it’s all working with little fuss.I’m on 0.87 Firmware on ArcanaIt’s a little glitchy when it all powers on though, but it’s works so far.Using Logitech Harmony which is hanging in there.I had set “Sonos ARC” under Audio Settings on the Arcana and that caused no sound, when I put it back to Auto it worked. Maybe I didn’t wait long enough, because hand shakes are slow and glitchy.So Everything is set to Auto on HDFury (same as Factory Reset, no changes)Sonos App is showing Dolby Atmos or MultiStream PCM depending on Content.Is there any settings I should change on Arcana for a smoother startup.I’m a Little concerned with comments of users saying it’s too glitchy and they ended up removing it.I don’t mind a bumpy start up, as long as it consistently works.When powering on, I might see Video, no sound, then it goes black for what feels like a long time, then sound comes on, then Video. That sort of thing. Feels

Audio is cutting out like a blip, not completely silent. Just enough to be annoying. I’ve tried resetting the beam. Changing out all the HDMIs. Media PC set to Dolby Atmos for home theater in Windows 11. Shows Atmos in the app. Not sure what to do at this point .

Hey folks. I currently have a Sonos Beam Gen 2 and a mini Sub for a medium sized room. I was thinking of adding a One SL (not a pair). Would this make much of a difference and improve the surround sound? Cheers

Previous setup:Arc + Sub (Gen 3) + Play:5s Room dimensions and layout:20’ long x 13’ wide with an 8’ tall ceilingThe Arc is located on the 13’ wall on a 2’ tall media console. The surround speakers are placed on speaker stands in the corners of the opposite wall on each side of the sofa angled towards my main listening position. My main listening position is a giant Jaxx Saxx (bean bag) in the center of the room about 8’–9’ from the Arc and 8’–9’ from the surround speakers. I can hear the height channel audio from the Arc loud and clear from this listening position. What I watch/listen to:I listen to A LOT of music in Dolby Atmos and 5.1 on both physical media (Blu-ray, DVD-A) and streaming (Apple TV 4K). I also watch a lot of films in Dolby Atmos and 5.1 on Blu-ray and streaming. I own multiple Dolby Atmos and DTS demo discs on Blu-ray to test with. Play:5s as surrounds:I have been using a pair of Play:5s as surrounds with my Arc + Sub setup for the last 8 months and have loved it.

I recently purchased an Epson LS800 projector and looking to pair it with the Sonos Arc Soundbar.  What is the best way to connect it.  

Hello. Running power to my upper back wall in our living room for 2 Era 300 speakers is going to be a bit of an issue. The back of the back wall is an upstairs bedroom so this prevents us from putting the electrical outlets where we want to without ripping out a lot of sheetrock. With that said, can I use only 1 Era 300 speaker for my back speaker and it upgrade my overall sound? It can be set in the middle of the upper back wall. Are there any limitations with configuring this type set up in the Sono App? Thanks in advance.

I have had my Playbar for over eight years. Starting the last few months my playbar stops working and shows a “wrench” on the app. Only fix is to unplug the bar and power cycle it back to life.  It then starts working again.   Nothing happening with my router (playbar is plugged into internet by Ethernet).  Help wife hates troubleshoot electronics while I’m gone. 

I am setting up my home surround system and replacing my 1’s with era 300’s. I will be mounting the 300’s on the back wall at what height should they be for optimal surround sound

Hi. i am about to purchase a beam 2 for my TV. Can i paly TV audio on the beam 2 whilst my other sonos speakers music

Sub and One Sl surround speakers are solid white light but the app is not able to connect

I am having my beam gen 2 wall mounted with my new tv. The standard hdmi cable isn’t quite long enough will any good quality hdmi 2.1 cable suffice without losing the sound quality particularly the Dolby Atmos performance? Cheers 

For some reason my Sub disconnected from my Beam. I tried rebooting both Sub and Beam, I reset both to factory condition and tried rejoining them to my system. Nothing has changed with my wifi or router. I spent an hour with Sonos phone rep who was very patient but didn’t resolve the problem. The app on IPhone shows both the Beam connected and Sub disconnected. When I try to connect the Sub to the Beam I get all the through the steps to the final window that shows “Adding Sub. This may take a moment” and the progress freezes. The window show the progress bar complete, when I tap on the window a second screen shows “You can’t exit Sub setup right now”. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the Sonos app with no difference. My suspicion is this is a problem with the Sonos app. Is any one else experiencing this or similar?

Hi all,i have just purchased the Beam Gen 2 sound bar and Sub Mini and just added a pair of Sonos ERA 2’s that I want to use for stereo sound and surround sound. It appears that if I want to listen to music and I have the speakers paired and set up as surround speakers I have to unpair as surrounds and the re-pair as Stereo speakers! That is insane! Anyone else aware of this and is there any future updates from Sonos that will resolve this?  Thanks  Paul

Just ordered a new Samsung Frame TV and Gen 2 Beam.  After ordering I came across a lot of posts in various forums about the compatibility of using the Frame TV with Sonos. My understanding is that the Sonos beam never really turns off and goes into standby. Also the frame TV basically does the same when in art mode. Is this an issue or has it been resolved?  Should I have just bought a regular tv that turns off?  Also, is there an issue with using the one connect box as it relates to eArc connection?  Are there other setup issues I should be aware of?  Just been seeing a bunch of different confusing things. 

I have a couple of old ZP120s and ZP80s in a system I am finally upgrading.The ZP80 is connected to a traditional AV 5.1 surround sound AMP, with HDMI connections to TV/Sky/AppleTV etc.  The speakers are B&W with separate Sub and I would like to keep these..Could I replace the AV amp and ZP80 with a new AMP, connected to the TV via HDMI and use the Sub and two front speakers from the AMP and, looking at the knowledge base, use one of my older ConnectAMP ZP120s for the rear speakers… set it up in S2 as a surround sound room ?..  if so, how do you deal with the front speaker?..  if at all?..  I you use a sound bar I think that disables the front surround speakers?..  I know one answer is to buy 2 new AMPS (front and back speakers, but it looks like I could use one of my legacy ConnectAmps as the rear speaker amp and save a bit of ££?..  Anyone done this or knows it would work?   Thanks..

I have a Sonos arc connected to Amazon Omni fire TV via earc HDMI connection.  When I play a DVD or blue ray on my sony or lg DVD player, there is intermittent popping noises.  I can pause the DVD and start again and it usually goes away.  I tried changing the channel on Sonos and that worked for a while.  I have changed out the TV with the same model as well.  And still the popping!  This is so frustrating.  It only does this when playing DVDs.  All other streaming apps etc play with no popping.  Any ideas?

My alarms periodically just don't go off (not even the chime backup). I have two alarms in two different rooms set one minute apart. When this problem happens, BOTH alarms fail to go off. It's happened three or four times over the past few years. I used to be on the s1 controller and thought that may be the problem, but recently moved to s2 a few days ago, and it just happened again. Here is my diagnosis number: 1260039986

System beam two ones and sub . Sony tv .  Why do neither the music or tv volume sliders in settings not do anything. 

Hello,I consider to upgrade my Beeam G1 with two speaker. The title of my subject resume my mind. To make this upgrade, could you advice me about correct speaker ? I read Era 100 will replace Sonos One. The news are not my priority but the financial cost is it !What do you think ?In the future, i’ll add a subwoofer to complete my installation.Thanks

I purchased a 50’ optical cable, joined it with a coupler to the Sonos HDMI to Optical converter and plugged that into my Amp.  I am concerned that maybe there is a distance limitation or signal loss from the Samsung TV (new as of 2023) and my amp.  I also selected Optical Out on the Samsung TV for Audio and Auto for Audio Type.  Do I need a booster or should this just work?  I verified that I am selecting TV on the amp as I have this setup working with my DirecTV box to another amp. Moderator edit: removed “Connect” for accuracy

Very frustrated - have the Arc, new sub and new Era 300 surrounds.Going from the Arc to the TCL into its eARC hdmi and the appleTV 4K into another HDMI port on the TCL.On the TV i have the following settings:Audio > Audio Output > ARC (Sonos Arc)Audio > preferred streaming format > AutoAudio > Digital output format > passthrough  (I see no other audio options digging around the menu; I’ve read in other forums that the output needs to be “bitstream”; however i either can’t find or don’t have that option. On the appletv 4kAudio Output > TV SpeakersAudio Format (it reads “auto” on the menu bar) > Change format “Off” / If I turn it “on” I can set it to “Dolby Digital 5.1” - there is no Atmos Option.Audio Mode: Auto (only other option is 16 bit)When I play Atmos music through Apple Music (under its Spatial Audio, which claims to support Atmos) via this set up i get 5.1 listed on the Sonos app. Similarly, when i play movies - either through the Apple app on Apple TV o

Hi,I am a hard of hearing person and I have a rather specific question: when I watch movies and series I can hear the voice of the actors from the front of the room (sonos arc) while from the side satellites (sonos one SL x2) there is no dialogue track there making me understand speech less well. The question is whether it is possible to set the dialogue track so that it can also be heard in the side satellites? Thanks!
