Home theater

Hello! I feel like my sound system lacks of bass. Is it only me or anyone else that what a bigger sub by Sonos? like a 12inc?

Hi, this is Bart from PolandI have the set of speakers mentioned in the titleI would like to have two set ups - one for movies and one for musicNow I have set the pair of SYMFONISK speakers with SUB  as stereo and ARC as another set up for moviesI realized that actually I can play music or movies on both sets at the same time (with not a bad result)I know that the recommended set up in this case would be ARC + SUB + SYMF (as surround in the back)However my concern is that if I will use this set up, the “stereo experience” will be poor with ARC as the main front speaker and SYMF moved to the back. Or if not poor then at least worse than in case the two SYMF are the main stereo speakers in the frontDid anybody compared both set ups and have some experience or thoughts on this? 

Hello, is there a way at Sonos to connect 3 or 4 devices (arc ultra, sub 3gen, 2x era 300) simultaneously to a source (TV / Video projector) that will emit sound via Bluetooth? The idea is to be able to use my Sonos sound system as a "home cinema" with a source that emits via Bluetooth. Thank you for your answers and feedback. Arnaud

Hey, I’m desperate for help….This was my original set up and i had it named as “Family Room”Sonos Beam2 x Sonos One surround speakers. All worked perfectly. Yesterday I bought an Arc Ultra, a mini sub and a new tv. My plan was to move the beam and the existing tv to one of the bedrooms, name the room “Bedroom”. And then use the Arc Ultra, Mini Sub and Sonos One’s in the original space with the new tv and new Apple TV box and change it to “Living Room”. For the life of me I cannot get the existing Sonos Ones to connect to the Arc. The Arc and mini sub are working perfectly and they are in the “Living Room”. Additionally, I now have 2 “Family Rooms” and they are both showing in the app as “not connected” even though the beam that I put in the bedroom is working perfectly. I want to delete both “Family Room”, and then add “Bedroom”. My goal is to have two completely independent rooms (I bought a second Apple TV box). I’m having so much trouble navigating the app and getting it to where I

I have a Sonos Amp and an Audioflow switch with 6 speakers in the ceiling and 2 outside. I have them wired so that two of the ceiling speakers on their own switch are directly behind the sofa, I was hoping to use them with the TV. Unfortunately the wiring for all the speakers is nowhere near the TV so I cannot connect the HDMI. Is there any way to still connect those speakers to the TV?

I can successfully connect Era100s separately in the Sonos App. Whenever I try to connect these Era 100s to my Beam Gen2 it will connect for few seconds then disconnect. 

Have a Playbar and 2x Play:1 set up for surround sound system. Has been working fine for years but about 2 months ago it stopped working. Everything is set up as it's own room but not connected to each other. When I try to  "set up surrounds" it says there is an update needed. I press update, then it scans for updates, then the update screen just dissappears. This is just keeps happening. Have been onto Sonos support chat and on phone and they haven't a clue how to fix it. Not great.

I’ve been trying to solve this problem for my in-laws for a few weeks, and I’m making no progress.They have a Sonos Beam connected to a TCL 735 (Google) TV via HDMI/eARC. My father-in-law has Oticon hearing aids, and there is an Optical cable running from the TV to an Oticon “Box”. The hearing aids connect to the Oticon Box via Bluetooth.I cannot get sound to output to BOTH the Beam and the Oticon box (the hearing aids are connected) so that they can watch TV at the same time. I bought an “HDMI eARC (CEC) audio extractor" but that’s not working either - sound DOES come out through the hearing aids, but nothing through the Beam soundbar. At a guess, Sonos is fussy/strict over the kind of signal it receives and doesn’t “trust” it from the audio extractor. The TV sound option is set to “ARC”. There is an Optical option too. Can anyone offer any advice on this topic? I realise the issue is equally a TCL and Oticon issue, but I can't believe that I am the only person who has tried to set th

I am looking to connect two pairs of Era 300's to my Arc Ultra & Sub 4 for a complete 5.1 surround sound , is this even possible??? 

Alright folks. I’m new to the Sonos universe and have some equipment setup questions.  I have a 82 inch Samsung QLEs TV, Apple TV 4K, (2) Sonos Amps and (4) Sonance 8” in wall architectural speakers (2 fronts/2 rears). Sonos sub is on its way…I also have a Eufy camera system that is POE. Everything is wired to a router in a closet approximately 6 feet away. (Amps are hardwired to the router with the WiFi turned off)I’ve tried to set the system up but couldn’t get audio coming to the in walls without either airplay from my phone or directing the audio from the Apple TV to the speakers by selecting it from the audio setting in the device (when this is done I cannot control the speaker volume from the Apple Remote and have to go through the Sonos app to control the volume). I’ve turned the anynet+ off/on, unplugged components and self help topics from this forum. I had one of the amps wired to eARC and still had no luck. I ended up going to BestBuy and purchased a Rocketfish - 2-Output HD

Every time there’s a power outage my Sonos Arc does not play any sound with my Sony Bravia TV.It says it’s connected and “Audio System active” but I cannot hear anything from the Sonos Arc.I have tried disconnecting, restarting the TV and Sonos Arc, unplugging its power but nothing seems to fix the issue.Help?

Just wanted to share some useful information. I found a post in this community suggesting a HDMI ARC Audio Extractor made by Tohilkel and sold on Amazon. I had tried everything up to that point and I’m a HT technician for Geek Squad. It worked like a charm. Sound immediately started playing as soon as I plugged it in with zero issues. Idk about other TVs but this TV in particular definitely works. More than likely it will work on other TVs, especially other Samsung TVs. Ordered 2 for the 2 of the same model TV listed above. This is what I used. https://a.co/d/2T2ww3p

Hi, I have a Samsung QE65S95FATXZT connected to a Sonos Arc through HDMI port #3 (ARC/eARC).When I use the native Disney+ app on the Samsung TV to play Dolby Atmos content, the Sonos app only shows “Multichannel PCM 5.1” instead of Dolby Atmos.TV Settings:Audio Out → Auto Anynet+ →  Active Dolby Atmos → Active HDMI eArc → Sonos ArcCould you please help me?Both Sonos and Samsung support keep blaming each other.

Hi folks. I'm new to Sonos and by turn the community. I have a Beam gen 2 and mini sub. The speech enhancement keeps switching off. I've read a community thread from a year ago discussing the same issue with the Arc ultra. That didn't appear to have been remedied. Has anyone got any further info/ideas about how to fix this.  TIA.  Jay. 

I am totally lost, I have two surround systems that are working fine. Surround 1 is with an Arc ultra and ceiling speakers with AMP and surround 2 system is with a ARC and ceiling speakers with AMP.After rewiring one set of speakers to the surround 2 system it still worked fine. Now out of the blue I have no more surround sound. The speakers by itself make sounds but as soon as I add them as surround they are gone.I have been through the complete forum and tried it all. Factory reset, music level to 15, music from Ambient to Full.I think I reconnected the AMP like 20 times now but still nothing. What puzzles me is that it worked fine and now it doesn't.Honestly, I have no clue what to do next, what am I missing here… Been working on it for hours now and just have no idea what is going on. Especially since the other surround system is working totally fine...Maybe some interesting items:Speakers has not been moved no new internet or router Both ARC and AMP are connected to Ethernet, not

With tvOS 26 on Apple TV 4K can I connect a Sonos soundbar via Airplay instead of HDMI? Thanks,Tom

Bonjour,Avant d'acheter la barre  ARC ultra, j'ai besoin d'info sur la connectique. Je suis équipé d'une playbarre avec entrée optique, je n'ai pas la possibilité de tirer un câble HDMI car tout est encastré et il n'y a plus de place, j'ai juste le câble optique de la TV vers la playbarre.Il n'y a pas d'entrée optique sur la barre de son ARC ultra c'est bien dommage et l'adaptateur optique/HDMI se branche côté TV. Il faudrait un adaptateur inverse à brancher côté barre ARC ultra.HDMI mâle/ optique femelleMerci pour votre aide Bien à vous  Moderator Note: Translation by Google Translate- Hello,Before purchasing the ARC Ultra soundbar, I need information on the connections. I have a Playbar with an optical input. I can't run an HDMI cable because everything is recessed and there's no more space. I only have the optical cable from the TV to the Playbar.There's no optical input on the ARC Ultra soundbar, which is a shame, and the optical-to-HDMI adapter plugs into the TV. I need a reverse

Hi,I did several tests but I can’t getting rid of an issue. My setup:beam2 + two ERA300 as surrond in one room 2 symfonisks placed in other rooms  amp connected to a turntable and a wired speakers in another roomIf I group music (Apple music, turntable…) everything sounds great. If I group the tv audio from the home theatre (beams2+eras) to any other room, audio comes out from the home theatre alone. From the app point of view the groped rooms are fine, I can adjust volumes etc, but audio don’t comes out.  Any suggestion?

How do I connect my Sonos Amp, with 2 6inch ceiling speakers, arc, sub, and 2 era 300 to a projector and get the best sound in the room

Hi all,Apologies if this has already been asked (I couldn't find it from a quick search)Got a beam and watching a movie the dialogue is a reasonable volume, but the loud sounds (such as explosions) are so loud is off putting. Any recommendations of what to do or change?

Hi everyone, I currently have 2× Era 300 and use them mainly for music. Now I’m planning to add a Sonos Arc + Sub, and move the Eras behind the couch as surrounds. I also have a turntable connected, and I don’t want to listen to music primarily through the Arc — I’d like to keep music playback just on the Era 300 stereo pair, but when I play movies through Apple TV, I want the full setup (Arc + Sub + Era). 👉 Question:How can I set it up so that, for example, when I play something on Spotify it only plays through the Era 300, but when I start a movie it plays through the full system?

I have a Samsung TV - model number UE 50 MU6120 - I’ve had the beam connected to this for a number of years. It’s recently lost connection between the TV and the speaker - I’ve tried resetting the unit and running through the set up process again I get one of three errors I) “ARC connection not working” or ii ) “devices on the network are interfering with the ARC connection” or iii) “switch on ARC mode” when I try to set the expert settings - there’s nothing available saying ‘ARC’ or ‘CEC’ mode. The best I have is ‘HDMI input audio format’ saying whether you want to have it as ‘PCM’ or ‘bitstream’. Neither options work I’ve disconnected all other devices connected to the TV (removed the Roku stick, unplugged the DVD player) and removed all external device connections from the TV. Important to note that the WiFi connection is via a WiFi extender. This was working previously. The TV and Sonos system are both connected to the WiFi extender network. I’ve yet to try going into the admin set

Arc Ultra at a customer's home, but the speech enhancement settings in the app show the three "old" presets instead of the new five.The app and ARC are updated.

Good morning, Just purchased the e Sony Bravia 8 Model XR-65A80K.  I have a pre-existing SONOS Arc, Sub Woofer and 2 ONE-SL.  The ARC is attached to the SONY TV via the audio Fiber port.  The  4 HDMI ports have connected: Cable TV provider set top box; Apple TV 4K; HP Google Chrome box; and Sony 4K disc player.  The remote for the Cable TV set top box is able to change the audio volume of the SONOS ARC. The Cable TV set top box is a Xi6-T Model TX061AE1. The issue I’m experiencing is the SONY TV’S remote and the Apple TV’s remote is not able to control the SONOS Arc’s audio volume.  The TV responds with “Adjust Volume on Audio System”.  With 4 HDMI connected device, I would prefer to use the Fibre Audio port for SONOS connectivity.  I have tried contacting SONY Support.  They telephone IVR system keeps hanging up the call before getting to a Tech Support Agent.  Chat was not very helpful.  Thoughts?
