Home theater

hello. I am using beam generation 1.I don't have a TV at the moment, so I'm connecting it to my xbox via optical output. As you know, Disney Plus doesn't support 4k on PC. I wanted to use the sonos beam through my computer's optical output for Game, so I bought an optical output selector, but it didn't work properly. I wondered if this was because I was using a sonos optical output adapter, but the retailer said it worked fine with their product. Can anyone recommend a optical  output selector that is compatible with the sonos optical output adapter?  Thanks in advance .

Hi there,First of all my setupSonos Beam 2 Sonos Era 300 x 2 LG 55C8 Tv (with Arc port, no eArc) PS4 (thinking of getting a PS5)I would like to get this Bluray audio disc and play it in at least surround sound, the end goal is to hear it in Atmos.https://shop.pinkfloyd.com/product/X3AMPF1239/the-dark-side-of-the-moon-blurayIf I play it on the equipment I currently have, via the PS4, will I get 5.1 surround?If I replace the TV (or get an HDMI extract audio thingy) to get an eArc port and then also get a PS5, will I get Dolby Atmos?Many thanksJason

Hi, I am thinking about purchasing a SONOS sub adding to my only Arc, but it needs to be next to a window which exposes it to direct sunlight some times. Will this be an issue for it to function properly in the long-run? Or what can I do about it? Thanks. 

Puedo hacer un sistema de Homotheater con una barra ARC, SUB y 2 Move?

I’ve connected to my Sky Glass today using earc. Dolby Atmos sounds better (tested using Top Gun Maverick). Two problems 1. I can’t get the remote to change the volume. If I pair the remove to the beam it will change volume but all to controls are gone.After getting Alexa to play Radio 2, I asked her to stop but then TV connection was lost until I unplug the Sky glass and turned it back on.

I can't sync my sonos surround sound to the lips.  

Hello, In my lounge I have an LG OLED TV and connected to it are@Sony X800M2 that plays DVD-AudioSonos Arc In another room where I listen to a lot of my music I have an Era 300 Is there anyway I can get the Sony to play to the Era.I tried grouping the speakers together in the App but then that wants to play the music selected on my phone. I am sure I had this working tonight as I received my order of DSOTM in Dolby Atmos, started to play it bu then the phone went and it was my sister. Half and hour later I went back to DSOTM and once again the phone went and it was my daughter. An hour later to late for music I am working my way to get two more Eras. Then I can have a pair hooked up to the Arc as rear speakers but I am financially a little way off that at the moment  Ta  

I have an ArcSL and Sub, connected to a Sony XBR TV via HDMI.  Once in a while, my TV will think the Sonos system is unavailable although everything is on, connected to the TV and to WiFi, no apparent issues at all.   No red status light.  First time it happened, I cut power to everything by turning off the power bar and rest it, TV and all.  That took care of it, but the issue then was that I couldn’t get my Sonos system to connect to wifi manually.  This time, I just tried unplugging the Arc and Sub.  Nothing.anyone have any thoughts?

Tengo problemas de sonido con Netflix, de vez en cuando salen pitidos como interferencias por tidos los altavoces, tengo que resetear. Moderator edit:Google Translate- I have sound problems with Netflix, from time to time there are beeps like interference from the speakers, I have to reset.

I currently have surround sound with a Sonos Arc, a Sonos One and Sonos one SL. Is it possible to add a Sonos Era into the mix? If not, is it worth it to swap the two Sonos one's out for the Era? Any advice appreciated.

How do I use my amplifier with Sonos Beam

I have a Beam gen 2 and 2x SL one with a sub mini as a surround home theatre set up. Just purchased 2x era 300 for a complete surround experience. BUT, I can not seem to connect the era 300 correctly. Can someone please help? Moderator edit: changed all “arc” to “era”

Anyone having issues with a Sonos arc skipping (sound skips for 1-2 seconds?, not having any internet issues with speed or other products. It happens across all streaming platforms. 

Hi All, I have a question for my future setup. currently I am having a surround set. Which is connected with Xbox, Apple TV, TV receiver etc. this than goes to HDMI out which I then split to my TV and Beamer. Depending on which one I want to watch I can watch all inputs and have the audio. how can you achieve this with a sonos setup removing the surround set? Maybe a hdmi arc switch? Looking forward to your input. 

Why isn’t system showing Dolby or pcm?  Not showing any type of description 

Hello, we added a Beam 2 and a Sub Mini to our system this week. Have had the Amp about a year and love it. Last night when watching a movie on Prime there was a loud scene with folks yelling in a court room and suddenly the Beams volume dropped to around half what it was and then returned to where it was. Was 1-2 seconds so I didn’t have time to look at the App. I can’t find any settings or issues in the app. Do I need to exchange the Beam for a new one or anything I can do to be sure it is ok and not a bad unit?

Sometimes, not often, I turn on my TV and I have no sound from the ArcI check the volume and then change sources, turn off the TV, turn it back on again, press a few buttons on the Arc and eventually it clicks but on. I think what actually gets it working again is the Sonos Arc volumne button. But surely the Arc should continue at the same volumne as it was last used or a pre-defined volumne.Also if my TV remote control can adjust the volume why does it not work when I have this problem? TIA

Dear All, I am planning to buy used sonos playbase and wanted to check if it is compatible with my Sony Bravia 49xd8305 TV.Could you please help me with this.BTW I have sonos play 5 connected to my TV and wanted to check if playbase adds any benefit over my play 5.Thanks in Advance

Hi.  I have an arc connected to a Samsung QE60b and sky stream puck connected to tv. I am having issues where the audio cuts out for 2-3 seconds every 15-20 mins. I have tried every different combination on audio settings on both TV and sky puck and retuned via trueplay but the issue is still there and gets worse on different settings. I’ve read a few similar posts but haven’t found any workaround.  anyone have similar issues and found a solution. 

Hello,recently I started noticing degradation in sound quality on certain frequencies. The problem is it happens on a very certain range, usually sounds like outside traffic, rain or similar. The sound at those frequencies seems to be very compressed, turning almost into white noise. I am still not sure if this is a new problem but I haven’t notice it before. So I would like to test it somehow and wonder if there are any ways to test it so I can pinpoin it and be sure the problem is trully on the speaker side and not in the source. Do you know some good sources that will let me test the sound range and its quallity?

Can I connect Sonos arc direct to Apple 4K TV, or does it need to connect via TV using HDMI/arc?

My volume goes in and out randomly not sure why. Both music and tv. Except the soundbar

Hi all, I'm having problems with my sub mini. It is connected via my beam gen 1 which is connected to ehternet with the WiFi still enabled. I also have 2 one sls connected as well. Everything stays connected no problems or issues apart from the sub mini.  It goes offline with a red/orange coloured light. Having watched it tonight it runs and works fine and then all of a sudden the white light starts flashing then eventually goes to red.  I don't think it is over heating etc as I had it running for ages via YouTube off the TV and it ran fine.  I've spoken to sonos support today and they seemingly reset it so everything needed updating and said there was nothing wrong. The sub didn't work after this but it was connected and then started working after I updated it.  It always seems to coincide with watching the TV for some reason, but it's just a Samsung smart TV running emby via an internal app.  In terms of locatio

Hello there, I want to set up a movie theater in my big room. so far, I have Arc, two sub and two Era 300 for surround.the question is: what If I want to add the ceiling speaker into it. will it be better included the ceiling speaker?  Looking forward to get the best answer from all of you. thank you!  

So… I’m new to Sonos. I bought an Arc, a Sub Mini and 2 ERA300 6 months ago. The 300 are used as surrounds, in the back wall. I love what I’m hearing. In fact, I had a very good hifi system before and this set up comes pretty close to it. No complaints.But I’m wondering if adding 2 ERA100 on the front wall would give an even better spatial sound for music reproduction. My room is 12x16 and is optimized (treated) for sound repro. Would it be worth the investment to add the 100s?Thanks.
