Hi all. I’ve recently purchased era 300s coming from Sonos ones used as rear speakers for ARC ultra. Yes they are great with Atmos content but I had much better sound coming from ones with other content, can there be option so we can use the 300s in different sound modes so a correct sound output, full sound coming out of all speakers (centre speaker) as well so it’s all up mixed. Just  think there should be more configurations for the era 300s. 

I have a Sonos Arc in Black. I plan to get the Sonos Arc Ultra in White…but I’m wondering if I can use the black power cable I got with the Arc?I notice on the website it shows this power cable is compatible with the Arc, but doesn’t show Arc Ultra.Can anyone from Sonos look into this and confirm if the Arc power cable in black is compatible with the Arc Ultra in white?Thanks!

How can I balance the sound better, when I watch a movie most of the time in an action scene I have to turn down the sound and then I don't hear the dialogues loud enough and vice versa, if I turn up the volume to hear the dialogues then as soon as there is an action scene I have to turn down the sound

Does Trueplay™ still work with Beam (Gen 2) with the latest iOS and S2 software? I can no longer find the menu item in the app?

Can there be a third option for loudness (specifically base) other than just toggling night mode on and off? I have the beam with surround (sonos One’s) and the sub. I love the loudness and extra bass when night mode is off but my wife not so much. I feel like there should be an inbetween mode. 

For a more immense experience, I would like to add two Era 100 on the side, combined with my system made with Arc ultra and the two Era 300. This will make the listening experience even deeper. I specify that I am not interested in high volume, but in the intensity that can be received by adding two speakers l to the side of the system. Has anyone done it or can give an opinion?

I have been using the Playbar with BT box for several years. I used the BT remote to adjust volume on the PlaybarI recently bought a new Pansonic TV. The TV is connected to the BT box with an Hdmi cable; the TV is also connected to a DVD player via HDMI. the TV is connected to the Playbar with a cableI can change channels etc with the BT remote so that is functioning fine but I cannot make any volume adjustments using the BT remote. I have tried to get the TV remote to adjust the volume of the Playbar but also with no success.How can I adjust volume on the Playbar?  

I am an old guy so have mercy.  I finally retired my Playbar and bought the Arc Ultra and I am having trouble hooking up my older Sub 2.  I can add it to the system and I get the chime but no sound at all from the Sub. I have tried all the usual things I can think of, update the speaker, Wi-Fi on and off, Ethernet cable plugged-in or not, remove the sub and reconnect, etc. Nothing brings the sub to life.  I would appreciate any suggestions anyone can offer me.  Ill try anything once and if it sounds or feels good, more than that.Thanks

Hi,I became unable to play music through to my Living Room setup - and upon further inspection discovered both of the Sonos One SL’s had somehow disconnected from the system. After power cycling multiple times, and trying to remove them as a pair (I got an error saying I was unable to), I factory reset them.  now:The unpaired live in parallel rooms. However, checking the original room;They’ve magically “reappeared”, both existing in the original room, and outside of them. Trying to add them as a pair gives me the error they’re already in use, trying to remove them as a pair gives there error:  I can’t play music to the room anymore, but the Arc and Sub function through my TV. So now I’ve got schroedinger’s surround speakers, both existing and not at the same time app, iOS, everything is up to date. If anyone can give me a suggestion that doesn’t involve me having to factory reset the entire system like it seems I have to once a quarter?

Hello everyone,Hoping to get some help here as I think I’ve tried everything I can to be able to add more surround speakers to my surround.  I have the Center (Arc), Sub (Mini) and 2 (Era 100s).Id like to have just 2 more additional Era 100s for more rear sounds but I can’t get them to add and sync up.   Any advice/help on this?  Thanks in advance.  Setup looks like this currently:                                    Center  Era1                     ((      Couch      ))   Sub Mini            Era1                   **Era1                       **Era1             **Are what I’d like to add to my current setup.  

Every day I have to shut down my playbase. Otherwise only one Speaker is playing. What can I do. is there a german support, I can contact? Moderator Edit - Fixed Typo

Got a sub gen 4 as a gift.  I have a Playbar (2018) and 2no Play ones set up as stereo set up. sub is compatible with the One’s but not playbar. There’s nothing wrong with the playbar and don’t really want to change it.  any recommendations on how to get the sub to work with the current setup.  I’ve tried grouping already. 

The other day one of my Era 300's started doing the strangest thing, beeping randomly and status light flashing all different colours. So just turned it off. Just reset it and selected the room where my Arc and other Era 300 and sub is but it just sets up the Lounge 2 and doesn't add the speaker to Lounge.I tried to change the room but then end up with 2 rooms called Lounge. Unable to connect stereo pair as it says no other speaker available. Hoping someone can help, surely this is a simple thing to fix, just can't seem to work it out. Thanks

Hello,while reading about the possibility to connect speakers to a video projector (via the HDMI of a computer), I understood that a built-in delay in the Sonos system would result in a gap between image and audio (about 70ms). I have 2 questions :Would adjusting the synchronisation video/audio in VLC by 70ms solve the problem ; basically delaying the video by the same 70ms ? That issue affects only the speakers 100, 300 and Five, or is  it the same with the Arc ?thank you very much for your inputSébastien

Hi, i have a Xgimi Halo + projector and 2 Era 100 connected via bluetooth. Any solutions for the lag?Thank you

The Bean 2 comes with a HDMI cable from factory. Can I use an 8K high speed cable instead knowing the quality has to be better?

Hi,I have a question I have a Sonos Arc in the living room and a Sonos Beam in another room; now the first one is showed in my router with ip address but the second (Beam) is not showed.The soundbar it seems to work but, even rebooting the router, it is not showing in the router address table.Can you please advise why this happens?Thank you

I have a Sonos Beam Gen.2 hooked to an LG TV and I use an nVidia TV Shield Pro for streaming. Everything works perfectly when I’m watching regular TV or playing on the Playstation 5. I can see in the Sonos mobile app various TV channels operating in Dolby Digital 2.0 or Dolby Digital 5.1. On the PS5 the sound is DTS Surround 5.1. Both TV and Playstation sound work flawlessly. The problem starts when I watch Netflix, Prime Video or Plex from the nVidia TV Shield. Occasionally, about once or twice per hour, the sound just stops working out of the blue while the video keeps running. The temporary fix I found is to cycle the sound output of the TV back to internal TV speakers, then after 1 sec of sound on speakers, the TV switches automatically back to Audio Out (Optical/HDMI ARC) and, magically, the Beam sound works again. Until it happens again 20 min later. I also detect sometimes a bit of skipping or small cracking or popping, but it’s very mild. Usually these smaller things happen mor

If i have a splitter earc and arc i can have a home cinema from sonos with tower speakers.Dual subs and eras 300 and arc ultra, but with the sonos amp i can have towers programed in front home cinema? or i need to create a home thetaer in the app with era 300 as back speakers surround and amp with towers fronts? 

I had my system for several years.  Has been working fine.  I had to replace my router and had to reset all speakers except Move and player 5.  These works fine not in the surround sound system of Sonos.  After resetting and installing play bar, sub and two rear speakers, 2 player 3s, now only sound comes from the playbar but none of the other speakers: 2 player 3 and sub. They are connected to a tv which was not changed.any ideas I can try?

I have a Beam gen 2 and 2 One speakers. I used to configure them as a surround system, Beam connected to my TV via HDMI ARC.Then I found the two Ones are mostly idle as I don't play enough surround-sound content. So I recently removed the surround setup, and grouped the speakers, hoping to listen to the same sounds from different speakers, immersive in a different way. I found a way in the Sonos app to configure the TV output to all speakers there, which is great.The problem is when I change the volume on my AppleTV remote control, only the volume of the Beam got changed, Ones' volume stay the same unless I use the touch buttons on the speakers or use the app. Is there any way to sync the volume control across all speakers?

Setup new insignia fire tv and Sonos beam 2 is not finding tv. HDMI’s cable is connected to hdmi1 (ARC). Mot finding. I can use the speaker to stream music from phone. any suggestions?

I have a Playbar and a Play:1.If I add another play:1 and a Sub will it work fine as a hifi syatem? Please suggest what combination of the old sonos can I do to have a better hifi music system starting from my set up. Also, is it possible to purchase the old speakers? I have seen them around on the web. Thanks! 

Good morning allI have I’ve recently purchased Sonos Arc, mini sub and Ikea Symfonisk (2 speakers). (I have connected all speakers in TV room setup along with surround sounds) I have connected the Sonos Arc with Ethernet cable and others  through Home wife. I have two WiFi routers placed side by side and I have only connected Sonos to 2.4 ghz my question is if I turn off the surround by mistake why does it take so much time to get connected to the system again? (Sonos app is also very slow in responding, I’ve to close the app numerous times and open it.) Does have having two routers create any interference? since buying the Sonos I enjoy the sound but it’s a nightmare when someone in home turns off the Sonos speakers by mistake and I cannot connect it back that easily.  I will be obliged if someone can help in addressing the problem, so that I can find where am I wrong. Thanks in advance 

I’ve just updated to Apple tvOS18 and now my 5.1 movies are only outputting on my Sonos Arc in Stereo PCM. Atmos movies are still playing in Atmos. Is this a bug with the new software?
