Hello,With the recent 14.12 S2 Update there is a bug in the sub settings when using Trueplay, and I've pinpointed the problem.  I wanted to pass along this information to the company to ensure that the specifics of the issue are known.It’s likely that most people may not notice this, or bother asking Sonos about it, but this is a real difference between 14.12 and the previous versions.My current setup has an Arc, Sub(Gen1), and 2 Play1's.   Using a white noise generator to review these differences.   I'm controlling the sub settings on my iPad Pro while recording on my iPhone 12 Pro Max.   I've run Trueplay twice since the update, and get the same results both times.   Both Trueplay runs were with my iPhone as my iPad Pro does not have support yet. Once updated to 14.12, you are prompted to re-run Trueplay.  But Trueplay has a bug in this new update. I tested the frequencies with

Hi All,When I first purchased my Sonos system, I remember I could hear a simulated surround sound coming from my rear speakers when playing PCM Stereo on my TV.I realized a few months ago that now, when I play PCM Stereo content, my surround speakers stay completely silent. The sound only comes from the Beam and the Sub mini.When I play music or Dolby Digital 5.1 content on my Apple TV, the surrounds work perfectly.I recently read a thread on reddit and this article made me realize that this situation is not normal. I should hear a simulated surround sound for ambient audio. I’ve tried to chat with a support representative and the person

New to some of the newer Sonos products, and couldn’t find the answer anywhere.  I have an Arc, Sub (gen3), and Amp running two third party ceiling speakers.  My question is can I add two Ones as rear speakers and connect them all to the same TV arc source and it works with Dolby Atmos?  Arc, Sub, ceiling speakers, and rear Ones?  Thanks! 

When I go to “add surrounds” it says I need a compatible product, for some reason it is not seeing them. They used to be paired but I needed to factory reset everything. 

Hello,I have a Beam Gen 1 that connects perfectly fine with my LG OLED from 2017.I just got a Beam Gen 2 and when I connect it to the same LG OLED, I get an error message saying HDMI eArc not detected. My TV also doesn’t detect anything is plugged into the eArc port when the Beam Gen 2 is connectedHowever, when I swapped it back to the Beam Gen 1, everything works fine with the HDMI eArc (including the tv noticing something is plugged in). Do I just have a bad Beam Gen 2 or is there something else that might be going on? Thanks. jkl

SystemLG G2 TVApple 4kARC + Gen 3 Sub, x L + R ONE SLSI just updated to the lasted firmware 14.18 and when i stream Disney Plus with certified ATMOS i only get Dolby Plus 5.1. When i entaille update, it was just saying i have Dolby PCM 5.1 until i closed the app, restarted the TV and checked Digital Sound Output option on the TV was set to Auto. I changed to passthrough and there is an issue with LG where this option then only produces 7.1. So after reading this forum users recommended setting it to Auto which then enabled ATMOS before i update to 14.18. I switched back to Passthrough and it had the same effect, so i switched back to auto and rather than it being Dolby 5.1 PCM its now Dolby Plus 5.1 instead of ATMOS? eARC is enabled. I can only think its something to do with the update?

I understand that the Sonos Sub is currently having bass issue when Trueplay is enabled, can we confirm if this issue is known to be on all setups like a stereo pair of Ones/SL, Play:5s/Fives, with a Sub or just on TV setups in a 5.1 with the current sound bars and also with older units like the Playbase in a 5.1 setup?

Hey there,My beam is not visible from the android app, but it’s still working, if using the TV the audio comes from it, and if I use the Mac app or group it via the Sonos voice assistant, it connects and plays music.I have unplugged the beam both from the TV and power, but I still have the same issue. I’ve also restarted my phone and nothing.any ideas?

I had this issue before and I gave up on the product but after a few months, replugged it in and it worked fine. My sound system had been working fine for many months and I got the Sonos Sub which I loved but now randomly this issue has appeared again.Sonos beam keeps flashing a white light even though I have it connected via ethernet cable to the router. I’ve tried unplugging the router as well as the Beam. I can’t even factory reset the beam (doesn’t matter how long I hold on to the join/infinity button, it keeps flashing white). Very frustrating as I got the subs + 2x SL ones to pair and now none of them can connect to my TV.Diagnostic number: 197347082

Can I not pair a sub mini with a gen 3 sub to an Arc with a pair of One SLs?

Hey Sonos gurus! I’ve read through all of the outdoor TV wiring setup topics and couldn’t find a solution to my current setup and what I’d like to do. I’ve got a home with a detached garage that is about 100 feet from the house.Current Setup:HouseLiving Room - Playbar with 2 surrounds (Play:1’s) and SUB Attached to the back of the house: Connect:Amp + 2 Sonance Outdoor Speakers 1 Play:1 in master bedroom.GarageSonos Connect attached to an AV receiver with Left/Center/Right speakers. The connect is “hardwired” via a mesh access point. I am adding a TV mounted inside my garage with an extra long-arm to swing out via a second interior garage door for outdoor movie nights. My garage is a 1-car garage with doors on either side to allow for a second car to be parked inside the fence line. Ideal Setup: I’d love to be able to use the Connect setup (Left/Center/Right + Receiver) in combination with

My Sonos Beam will not connect with my network anymore. I changed the password so when it says “Did you change the password” I say yes.Do you want to add a network? Yes.Find system...Sonos not found. I rebooted the system and the router. What do I do next? 

I’m getting the feeling I can’t add the Sub mini, because it won’t pair correctly with Gen3 sub? Is that correct?

We’ve inherited a Playbase and two Play 5’s (first gen) to add to our two s-one and play 3 having not used them for a while moving house etc. we cannot get these to show as reset and able to set up, they say we need S1 app but that insists we need to move to S2 app, the base cannot be found even after holding infinity button in. Any ideas?

Hello there, need a little help finishing my setup.My setup includes:Sonos Beam gen2BenQ tk700sti eARC supported 4K projector I read a few articles online and follow the troubleshooting steps but nothing help.Running out of idea and would need some help. I went as simple as I could and ran an HDMI cable from the HDMI 2 slot of the projector to the Beam but the speaker won’t detect it for some reason ?

I have a surround sound setup with a Sonos Beam and two Sonos One speakers. It has been working great for the past year or so and just recently the Sonos One speakers have been disconnected from the system. I reset my router, performed a factory reset on all three speakers, reconnect everything, and then when I try to setup surround, I keep getting a message that “There was a problem. Check network connection and power.” Network has no issues and all speakers are connected to power (I’ve tried this process a number of times as well). I’m thinking the WiFi receiver in one (or both) of the Sonos One speakers is having issues. At one point, I was able to reconnect the surround setup (doing the same exact process), but then the next day speakers weren’t connected. It’s frustrating because I can connect all speakers to the network, and listen on each speaker individually or together. But when I try to “Setup Surrounds” it has an error and my only option is to exit th

Hi allSame issue here like described in the related topic below: Any ideas how I can get an advanced replacement with a new (not refurbished) Sonos Arc? (My Sonos Arc was ordered the 10th October 2022 and was delivered yesterday the 14th) Thank you in advance!

Any ideas when I setup my Sonos Mini sub I have to use the code at the bottom of the Mini Sub.  The NFC ( Near Field Communication) fails to recognise my iPhone or iPad.  Thanks  

I’ve just set up my Arc, One SL speakers and sub.I’ve got the volume on the Arc working with my virgin controller, but the TV standby button is no longer working. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks

Hey Sonos Users!I love my Sonos speakersThe sound is greatI was very excited to set up the new Ray product to my Sony TVBut after 3 hours (including 1 hour with the VERY NICE Sonos help gentleman) I was left with “you need to call Sony”Anybody else having trouble getting their Ray to connect to their TV Super frustrated Sonos fan,John

I have a Beam (gen 2) sub mini and 2 One SL's acting as rear surrounds. i had to power off one of the one SL's and when i powered it back on it appeared in a new room (living room 2) not paired to the other One SL. Has anyone else seen this ? or knows why it has happened ? In order to get everything back to normal i had to remove the "surround pair" from “living room” and then remove each One SL from the room it was in. then readd a "new" pair of surrounds and go through the setup process again.  i'm concerned this is going to happen every time i turn off a speaker or if there's a power cut.

Hi all,I have Playbar and just purchased a sub mini to pair with it.  System is using SonosNET.I successfully connected the sub to the network, updated the software and paired it with the playbar.  Unfortunately very shortly thereafter, the sub seems to have dropped from the network.  In the system setting section it shows as Playbar (+?) rather than Playbar (+sub).  If I restart the sub, it seems to connect briefly but as soon as I try playing sound from the TV, it drops again.I have tried 3 factory resets and moving the sub to different locations with similar results.  In one case, I was able to get music to play from Spotify through the Playbar which engaged the sub briefly but it eventually dropped again.Any suggestions?thanks in advance,Kevin 

After running Trueplay on a stereo system with a Sub or Sub Mini the amount of bass decreases and noticed that it's not as heavy feeling/sounding even after adjusting the Sub Audio.I know there is nothing wrong with my system, but I do feel like Trueplay does dampen the bass the Subs output.Is this normal behavior and do I need to adjust the bass level in the EQ along with the Sub Aduio settings?

Sonos sub feels more pronounced from right side of it ( right frame). so I’m wandering why do I feel the bass less pronounced when standing to its left ( facing it) ?I have done auto tune and tried with and without it. Flipped the phase control to the other setting (than the auto tune set it to) and it was worse.so the autotune got it right.. Anybody had this “issue”?
