Sonos Arc won’t allow other audio

Sonos Arc is connected via HDMI ARC. When my family is asleep and I want to watch quietly I try to switch to Bluetooth headphones/earphones. Seconds later audio switches back to my Sonos, causing me to not be able to use my other audio devices (e.g. AirPods). How do I fix this? My AirPods aren’t compatible with my game systems, so I use to connect via Bluetooth through my TV (Samsung). Any help would be very appreciated.

Sonos One SL doesn't play music when the Beam and Sub mini are off

So I recently moved from house and had to do the setup over again, and must’ve done something wrong. Before the move, I used to be able to play music one the one SL even the sub mini and the beam 2, now, whenever those are off I’m not able to find the One SL even though the light is on and it’s configured to the internet… What should I try?

arc cutting out on sky stream with samsung tv

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.

Sonos Arc with Google Chromecast flickering

Hi, I have a Samsung Smart TV with Google Chromecast 4K. Since I connected the Sonos Arc to my TV (and therefore with Google Chromecast) I have a lot of flickering/black screen when I turn on the TV and chromecast. When I disconnect the hdmi of the Arc, then the flickering stops. So it has something to do with the Sonos Arc/Chromecast.Does anyone has a solution for this problem? Thanks in advance!

Beam Gen 2 - vibration from inside

Just bought a Beam Gen 2. Sound quality is incredible but at high volume (> 55%) and bass-heavy tracks there’s a distinct rattle/buzz coming from inside the unit. It’s definitely the Beam itself because it continues if you pick it up. Stops if it’s rotated onto its back. My guess would be that it’s a ribbon cable that connects the touch panel on the top, but I’m not sure if this is a design issue (at which point swapping it out won’t help) or a fault with mine.

Two ARC connections to Amp for home theater

Hi all.  I would like to install a projector screen and projector for my pergola that points to the pool. I currently have a television in the Pergola that is connected to an Amp through HDMI. I would like to keep this connection but also connect the projector to same Amp.  The ultimate goal would be for the amp to play audio from whatever source is sending audio.  At any given time I would only be using either the projector or the television, but not both.  Is this doable with some sort of HDMI splitter?  If so, do you have any recommendations for a splitter?

Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc in uneven room

Hi, Was thinking about buying the Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc as I’m amazed with it’s sound, but my room configuration would mean that my left wall would much further away that the right wall, like 4m to the left from the rear left speaker and 80cm-1m for my right speaker.Would this cause a major drama in atmos effects etc?I’m assuming it’d be a major problem, but is Sonos smart enough to cope? Oh, and also the ceiling is 3.5 meters high.

Arc + 2x era 300 or 4x era 300

First question is can I use 4x era 300 to make home theatre with 3D and dolby atmos. If yes what is better - 4x Era 300 + Sub or Arc + 2x era 300 and sub? Thank you ☺️

Connecting a TV via ARC HDMI to Amp Gen 2

I have an outdoor TV with and HDMI cable run through brick to my current receiver.  Trying to connect a Sonos Amp Gen 2 with this cable.  I am looking for a converter to connect to the opposite end of the HDMI cable and plug into the Sonos Amp Gen 2 Analog Audio cables.  It will be next to impossible to just feed audio cables through this brick.Can you recommend a splitter/converter in order to make this happen?

Apple TV 4K 3rd gen - NEDIS ACON3455AT/OREI HDA-935 - Sonos Arc sound cutting in and out

HiI see that there are several people with different issues on Apple TV 4K → Sonos so sorry if this has been answered elsewhere.I have an older LG OLED that only has ARC and not eARC support so that is why i bought the Nedis product which seems to be the same as the Orei one.When I connect my apple tv through this box the sound cuts in and out a couple of times per second it seems and app shows PCM 7.1. I also have a chromecast ultra 4K and a nvidia shield pro and when using these as inputs for the same sources Netflix/Apple tv+ etc sonos arc performs perfectly with dolby atmos displayed in the sonos app.Is there a general issue with apple tv 4k directly communicating with a sonos arc ? I know the common setup would be with an eARC supported tv in between but I would think the box would do the same job as the tv - transferring lossless Atmos to the Sonos Arc.I have tried having the Apple TV connected to the Tv and the Arc connected to the tv then I get sound not cutting in and out but

Gen 3 sub not paired with Sonos account

HiI recently had to update my home cinema composed of 1 Arc / 1 Sub Gen3 / 2 one SL. as the update would not go through, I reset all products individually, reboot my router and trued adding back each product to the same Sonos virtual room. The 2 one SL paired correctly with the system and updated correctly as well. I could pair them together as a stereo without problem. The Arc paired correctly and did not require an update. the Sub Gen 3 pairs corrctly with the system, connects to the wifi, but fails to be « added to the system » or to the « sonos account ». Can anyone help out?

Beam 2 with videoprojector

HelloI would like to connect a Sonos Beam 2 soundbar to a 4K TV decoder and an Optoma H100 video projector. Can I connect the Beam 2 optically to the decoder with the HDMI/optical adapter provided and connect my video projector to the HDMI output of my decoder? Or if I use the HD Fury Arcana will it work? Thank you for your answers!
