One of my Beams stopped responding to my IR remote, tried a second remote, tried turning off all the lights too, still no joy.Both remotes work fine when a spare Beam is configured to use them.Can’t reconfigure the problem Beam as it sees neither remote in the setup steps.Took a while but I found this old topic and a quick power cycle got it working again.I’ll watch for this and if it happens I’ll submit some diagnostics.Old topic: 

Hi guys,I wonder if it’s possible combine a Devialet Dione Soundbar with 2 Sonos ERA 300 in the front and a Sonos Sub 3Gen. I have a Denon AMP pretty new and 2 bookshelf speakers what i would like to use as a rear sorrounds.Is It possible integrate this or have such a configuration with Sonos Port or Amp???Thank UJoanC

Our arc volume has suddenly decided to slide up to max and it can only be held at a lower place by sliding it back on the phone screen and holding it there. Take your thumb off and it slides right back up. On the tv screen the + sign is jiggling up and down. Turning the system off then back on hasn’t helped. Adjusting by tapping the arc sound bar volume controls directly doesn’t hold it either.Has this happened to anyone else?

Hello,I bought a new LG OLED C2 (OLED65C2PUA, 2022) and new Sonos products including the Arc+Sub+One SLs, and a Beam (Gen 2) for another room. The firmware for all the products have been updated to the latest version.However, I noticed that there would not be any sound with eARC enabled, and while there would be sound with eARC disabled, it would skip every other second. This happens whether with the Arc or Beam. The only time it would not skip is when I turn on PCM, but PCM has no Dolby Atmos or surround sound capability.I have followed every advice I could find, including ensuring that SIMPLINK is enabled, ensuring passthrough is enabled, disconnecting and reconnecting the sound bar (I don’t have any other HDMI devices), and even factory-resetting the TV.I’m at the point where I think the TV is the problem, and I realize that the community’s experience with LG TVs have been spotty. I’m a step away from initiating a return of the TV to Amazon. But before that, has anyone tried anythin

My SKY satellite box is connected to my projector via HDMI so no HDMI output available to connect my Beam Gen2 soundbar. Currently my only option is to connect Beam via Optical direct to my Sky Satellite box.I would like to connect sound using HDMI and interested in how others have achieved this. I have tried HDMI splitters at the SKY end but no success. 

I have a decent centre speaker but wondered if I could use two Sonos One speakers to replace my current Tannoy front pair in my 3.0 setup ?

I currently have the following components in my Living area:ARCSub Gen 2Two Sonos OnesI just ordered a pair of ERA 100’s to replace the Sonos One’s and realized I dont know how to change them out. The Sonos Ones are currently set up as Rear Surrounds for the ARC/Sub and when playing music are set to “FULL”. Is there a way to remove the Sonos Ones, and replace them to be used in the same way that the Ones are being used? Also, can I then use the Ones in a different location?  Thank you for any help! :) 

BonjourJ'ai un système Sonos composé de 2 hauts parleur Play One et d'une barre Beam Gen 2. J'utilise le système pour la radio et mon téléviseur.Après plusieurs manipulations de ma part je me retrouve avec plusieurs pièces identifiées dans mon application et avec un mélange de sources de diffusion (haut parleur avec et sans Beam), ce qui occasionne que la radio joue en même temps que le téléviseur causant une cacophonieJe voudrais pouvoir repartir à neuf mon système, identifier une seule pièce car pour l'instant il n'est utilisé que dans une seule pièce et regrouper mes 2 Play One et la Beam 2 gen. de façon à faciliter l'utilisation pour les autres personnes de la maison et empêcher le mélange des sorties.Comment dois-je procéder By Google  translate Good morningI have a Sonos system consisting of 2 Play One speakers and a Beam Gen 2 bar.

I have a Samsung Q 90 connected by Earc to my Sonos arc.. I have my hue play out connected to HDMI 2 on my TV. Cable box, Apple TV, and Xbox connected to hue play ports 1,2 and 4, respectively. These are the best instructions for set up I could find on the Internet… The picture comes up, but it flickers… it doesn’t seem like you can plug three different devices into one HDMI port on the TV. What if you have two of the devices on? How does tie TV know which one to go to? I think maybe that’s causing the problem. I  used a brand new 4K HDMI cable to connect the Hue Play device and TV. I had previously gone through a Marantz receiver, and it worked perfectly. Wanted to upgrade to Sonos thinking it would work better with new technology like hue lights.  Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?Thanks! 

Hi, is there a way for me to easily switch between my sony neckband (when I do not want a Sound bar experience - late nights, early mornings) and the Sonos Arc?I have an older version of the sony neckband (SRS-WS1) and it currently plugs into my Sony TV’s A80CK optical out. I think I can switch the output on the TV to either the sound bar or the TV( which then works with the neckband), but the TV  always switch back to the sound bar.Short of unplunging the Arc, is there an easier way to switch between the two? -Andy

I am wondering to build an immersive system if I can add 2-Era 300’s to a system that already has a Sonia Arc/Gen 3 sub with 2 rear channel surround speakers?  If I could do that to get true Dolby Atmos, what is the configuration of the room?Thanks!

With the older Bridge now incompatible with S2, is there no affordable Sonos solution to connect an existing home stereo (amp, speakers, etc.) to the Sonos system? 

Hello, Similar to a lot of people I’ve been having trouble getting Dolby Atmos to work on an LG TV native app, specifically an OLED55G16LA TV.  It does work on the limited Amazon Prime content so not sure what the issue is but sounds like a software or setting issue rather than hardware. And I do have a premium ultra HD Netflix account. I’ve got an Arc linked to two Era 300s and a sub gen 2.  eARC is selected in the sound menus, and I have tried either ‘auto’ or ‘passthrough’ as suggested in some of the other threads.  Dolby Atmos in the menus I believe should be greyed out as that is for when using the TV internal speakers only. The solution suggested else where of unplugging the HDMI, re-plugging and selecting eARC makes to difference.  There are two options I’ve not seen mentioned inn other models ’TV sound mode share’ or ‘sound bar mode control’ but switching these on or off doesn't make a difference. At best I’ve improved the output from checking the app audio currently playing fr

Hi Everyone.I have 2 Sonos devices, which are a Sonos Beam (2nd Gen) and 1 ERA 300.I know that I´m not able to make surround effect by now, but I have a few questions:Which is the best configuration for this 2 devices when working together? I was able to control my sonos beam with my Samsung Q80A remote controller, but now, ERA 300 is not responding when I turn up/down the volume, only beam is responding.. any way I can control both devices volume? Which is the best configuration of parameters for each device? I cannot add ERA 300 to Homekit, do you know how can I do that?Thanks a lotReally appreciate your help! 

Hello. I am looking to add to my home cinema set up and keen to get some advice from the Sonos community. I currently have a Sonos Arc and was thinking about adding a sub and x2 Era 300 speakers in addition. I was thinking about locating the x2 Era speakers either side of the Arc approx 1 metre distance on side boards, in a front left and right configuration and the sub on the floor adjacent. Has anyone configured / set up in this way please and if so what is your experience of the sound quality? Thank you in advance.

I had made a post months ago on my sub disconnecting from my system and not being able to get it back but I ended up resolving that via leaving it unplugged overnight and it connected fine the next day. It seems to have been fine since but then last night I noticed I wasn’t getting any bass so I looked at the sub and it was flashing white. So I did the whole remove and readd and it claimed it was readded and working in the app however the sub was flashing green and when I played music or TV there was no bass. Now the REAL kicker here is when I turn the sub off in the app, I get bass out of it but the bass is low?I get no difference in bass response when adjusting the slider when on or off but I get bass when off vs on.I tried unplugging the back speakers & just leaving the Arc connected via ethernet but made no difference. Any ideas?

Hey all!  I am upgrading my Beam Gen 1 to the Arc and got the Sonos One speakers ~1.5 years ago and was curious if Dolby Atmos sound will still play even though I have Sonos One speakers as my surround speakers?? 

Hi, we just moved into a new house that has pre-wire for up to 5 in-ceiling speakers. This is a typical setup of 3 in the front and 2 in the back just behind listening position.I am trying to design a system that uses 2 dedicated in-ceiling speakers for atmos and 2 more for rear surround and use a sound bar for center, i will be adding a sub for this well.The issue i’m having is trying to designate Atmos channels for a sonos setup, as my ceilings are high in the front (around 14-16 feet). Here are a few setups i have considered: Setup-1:Use the Arc (or even the beam) for center and use a amp for all 4 or 5 in-ceiling speakers (given the ohms are right) and add the subThis is probably the easiest to setup but im basically designating all my in-ceiling speakers as surround and having a couple in front and couple behind the seating position might not sound ideal for surround. And Arc might be by only atmos here which is not great cause i have very high ceilings. Or am i over thinking this

Is it possible to have a single Era 300 speaker as a Surround Rear and simulate the left and right channels? Would be nice to have the option, especially considering the price and also space limitations ...

Dialogue sync doesnt work,“fights with the TV speaker”alexa “can’t turn off” the TV. It’s the whole point of getting this speaker over any other fine quality speaker.doesnt generate enough volume. (when connected to tv and you;re playing content from a computer.cant use the S2 app for “all” features from the computer, need to do some from a phone… sorry, but that's ridiculous.The Beam is a failure. I want my money back or have it replaced with another product.Dont buy this product.

Buenos dias, ayer ínstale my nueva barra sonos arc, con mis era 100 y sub mini, casi todo lo reproduce en dolby digital plus, que es atmos, pero el problema que tengo, es que al poner una película comprada en mi apple tv 4k y que es compatible con dolby atmos no me la reproduce con esta calidad de sonido, en cambio en el apple tv 4k la música que tiene dolby atmos si que la reproduce con atmos, sabéis a que se debe? gracias!

Recently my playbar stopped working, it was part of our home theater surround sound in our media room.  I have called Sonos support quite a few times without getting to a solution.  The Sonos app would show the room as playing music however no sound was coming out of any of the speakers including the sub.  I removed the surrounds and sub from the room and they will work and play sound now through the Sonos app.  This led me to believe it was related to the Playbar, which is when I tried a factory reset.  All attempts to add it back to my system have been unsuccessful, i have tried both wireless and connected via ethernet cable, on the last call the rep asked me to reboot my phone and try again.  Is my Playbar dead or is there something else I can do to troubleshoot? Is there somewhere I can take it to confirm? 

 I've been using Sonos products for a while, and I must admit, the iPhone app and recent speaker syncing issues are quite disappointing. This is meant to be a high-end product, yet I can't even get the system recognized on the app, even after resetting everything. And the endless "Not connected" desktop app messages are baffling, as my router has been in the same location for the past 3 years. Could someone assist me with this? I would greatly appreciate it. iPhone APP: DESKTOP APP (Mac):

I currently have a playbar and 2 Play:1’s that make up my general media setup. I am buying the EPSON LS11000.  My goal is to go from Xbox Series X to AV Receiver, then from AV receiver to Sonos and projector.  Currently I don’t have the AV receiver. I’d prefer to spend under 2k on any new components (av receiver, port, etc) Can someone tell me the cleanest setup to accomplish the above?  TIA

Can I connect my TV and PC to my Sonos connect wirelessly. I'm using S1 app. Signal is send out via RCA cables to amp.
