Home theater

Hi, I am having trouble getting my surround and sub connected to my playbar. The setup consists of a playbar, two play ones, and sub. I can setup up all the devices individually and even connect the sub and two play ones in stereo together. But when I try to connect them to the playbar it goes through the whole process and eventually fails at the end. There is a question mark next to the playbar where sub should be. Diagnostic report: 376772923I have already reset and restarted everything. Went though a interference diagnosis. Connected the playbar directly to Ethernet. Etc. Any help most appreciated.  

I, up until very recently have had virtually no issues with the arc, sub Gen 3, and dual One SL's. My television is a Samsung MU6500 curved 4K 65" TV. For the past week or 2 it just suddenly stopped working and I have been very disappointed not being able to enjoy my theater system. I have done everything to restarting speakers, reconnecting HDMI's, factory resets and resetting up speaker assignments... the only thing is, the system keeps asking for "set your Samsung TV to "arc" mode" but there is no arc mode in the settings. Never had that prompt before... never had that issue before, it was working previously to this. How do we fix this issue?

I realize this has has been addressed in another post, but the solution there didn't help, so reposting.  First some background:1. Been using Sonos since 2008. What attracted me (despite their high price) was their robustness2. In 2021, while my fellow Sonos users were complaining about Sonos' new products not being backwards compatible to their older products, I replaced all my Sonos S1 products with new S2 products (again because Sonos products are reliable, robust and always just work) Now my issue:1.  Since my upgrade on 2021, my Arc/Sub and Port have been working flawlessly fir months. However in the last few weeks, my Arc/Sub intermittently disappear from the app.  My Port *never* disappears from the app. What is specific about the Arc that isn't applicable to the Port?2.  I've tried factory resets to the Arc, reinstalling the app and going through the entire setup process and everything works fine for like 30min or an hour. Then the Arc disappears again3. My Arc is connected via

Hi everyone,I have a sonos beam and two sonos one SL which are part of the home teather in one group in the sonos app (Home Theatre: + SS + SD + beam).Also I have several amazon echo products purchased before sonos products.In Alexa I have a group called “Home Theatre” inherited from Sonos and if I ask Alexa to play a song on this group I hear the audio coming out of the sound beam and the two "Sonos One SL (SS, SD)".I would like to be able to have sonos all over the house by buying other "Sonos One SL" and removing the old amazon echo, in the bathroom for example I would put the Ikea Symfonisk.I wanted to know if buying another four "sonos one SL" and a symfonisk the Sonos system allows me to create a single group so that when I ask alexa to play a music the audio is reproduced from the Home Theater, from the 4 new Sonos One and from the new Symfonisk at the same time.Thanks everyone for the reply

Dear friends! Need advice to fix issue with Arc and Samsung Frame. Arc and TV connected via optical adapter. In TV Menu - Sonos like Home Theater system with IR control. When we turn volume up slowly by little increment, everything is ok. But when we try to turn volume up faster (by holding vol up button) Arc turns volume to max and do not respond on any controls during some seconds.Video - https://youtu.be/_zqX_NencgY

I have Sonos ARC, Amazon Fire Stick with 4K (using Tomorrow War as a test which is Atmos content), and LG 65UP8000 (2021 model with eARC). In LG audio settings, Sound Out = HDMI (ARC) Device, eARC Support is toggled on, Digital Sound Output = Pass Through (other options are Auto and PCM). In FireStick 4k Settings, i have Surround Sound set to Best Available (Plays best audio format based on your connected HDMI device and content being played. Support Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, and PCM). When i play Tomorrow War, the S2 app shows the Audio Format is Stereo PCM, and i don't know why. I called Sonos support, and they basically said the issue is on the TV side. But, I enabled the audio settings to allow me to stream Atmos content. Does anyone know why I am not getting Atmos audio? or why im not even getting Dolby Digital but rather Stereo PCM?

I have a Sony XR A80J that I’m trying to connect with Sonos Arc. The HDMI cable is in place and connection is detected. But this cryptic message comes up, which I don’t understand - “Use your TV remote to turn on Audio System in Home” - what’s expected here? When I tap Test Connection, it says - “Audio System not connected”. Try again doesn’t help. 

All the home theatre master players contain two radios: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. The 5GHz radio is only used to connect its satellites (which is also why the HT master can’t connect to a 5GHz WiFi). The private 5GHz connects the satellites in both modes -- Ethernet/’wired’/SonosNet or WiFi/’wireless’ -- unless both the master and the satellites are wired.  Hi, I have a question about connecting my Sonos Speakers. Here you get an overview which Sonos devices I own:Living Room (Surround): Sonos Arc, Sub Gen. 3, 2x Symfonisk Lamps Gen. 2 Bedroom (Stereo): 2x Symfonisk Lamps Gen. 2 Kitchen: Sonos One Gen. 2 Bathroom: Sonos One Gen. 2 Office: Sonos One Gen. 2 Hallway: Sonos One Gen. 2 All devices are capable of 5GHz Wifi, except the Arc as stated by @ratty, because of it’s master role.I also have a well operating Ubiquiti Unifi network here at home with 5 Access Points and managed switches:UDM-Pro USW-Enterprise-24-PoE USW-Flex-Mini 5x U6-ProAt the moment I have two different SSIDs for the same ne

Hi Guys - so I have 2 zones in our Sonos setupTwo play 1’s 1 Arc and 1 subI have Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio as services on the system, when I try playing any of these services on my Play 1 pair they play perfectly but when I try to play them on the Arc + sub combination they keep saying ‘Unable to play, connection is lost’. All the devices are on the same Unify / Ubiquiti network. Even when I try to airplay to the arc, it plays the song for a bit then stops as if it’s buffering. I have enabled Static IP for all the Sonos devices. Let me know what else I can do to fix this. Maybe my ARC is faulty?Thanks!

Hi I have a Sonos beam, 2 plays and a sub in my room and just recently one of the plays is out of sync with the beam. I have reset the whole system which seemed to do the trick but it’s gone out of sync again, any suggestions please? Thank you 

Hej,  Finally, after more than a year i finally pulled the trigger and ordered a Sonos Arc as a christmas present to myself. Now when i have it installed i’m wondering why i’ve waited so long, mind-blowing sound compared to the intern speakers of my LG CX tv.  now to the thing that makes me wonder. As like everyone (i guess) i’m starting to save upp to invest in 2 sonos ones and a SUB for my serounds. the thing i can’t find an answer to… is there a proper way for daily use to your seround system? In which i mean... we often watch the news, have a partner that watches girly shows, and small children that watched cartoons.  you leave it on during these occasions? feels some what meanlingless to have seround sound during these times? but in the same time it feels meaningless to go into your tv settings / sound and switch back to internal speakers? what do you sonos fans do? thanks :) and have a great holiday

I have a Sonos Arc and am using a Harmony elite remote to control it.  I would like to also use my Tivo remote to control the volume on the Arc.  I have read in several places the Sonos will only allow 1 remote.  Is that correct, and if not how do set it up?

Hey guys! I just bought some products of Sonos. But the only question I have is how the system turn off once we stop using them. It’s automatically? Or I need to do something on the app?  Thank you very much! 

I have the 2021 Samsung QN85Q70AAFXZA Smart TV I am trying to connect to my Playbar.  The remote is either RF or Bluetooth, but as far as I can tell does not have IR.  The web, and an older SONOS post, implies that you can indeed do this, but I cannot make it work.  I have tried everything I can find, but no luck.  I’m unsure how it would even work, honestly, since I don’t know what would emit the IR signal the Playbar needs to work.I’m looking for any options that would get me to an answer.  We like the style of remote that came with the TV, but we’d even be ok if there was another genuine Samsung remote (or one that style) that worked.Any help is appreciated. 

Hello! I bought a Sonos connect for Christmas for my husband in hopes that he could then play his vinyl collection through our Sonos system. We have a One SL, One, Beam and a roam that we use through the Sonos 2 App.  is it possible to connect the Sonos Connect to the receiver so that vinyl can be played through our Sonos speakers? If so, how? Do I have to use S1 to make this happen? Can my other speakers be used through S1?  thank you so much! 

Hiim building a media wall and wanted to build a recess/ niche to put Sonos beam into , leaving approx 50mm gap all around it will this work ok?

I had to reboot my internet router and now my Arc is having issues. I always have problems with this thing and no other devices.So, I have a room set up with the Arc, subwoofer and two rears. I have rebooted the arc… reset it and still have this problem. It was a pain to re-connect the rears and it took several attempts. I set up the system and the arc comes and goes. It’s there sometimes, then disappears and the other devices are in the room but the arc is missing (shows the question mark).It’s not my internet. I have no issues with any Sonos devices in my house. I have two other speakers in another room. The arc is literally 2 feet away from one of mesh points. Has anyone encountered this? It’s totally frustrating. System worked great until I had to reboot my router. 

Hi, I’ve been having constant issues trying to update my beam and can’t use it for many weeks now. She will work alone with TV, but can’t use in 5.1 configuration or send music through it, she’s not part of my system anymore as I can’t do this update.I have the 1013 error message code. I’ve been through all the proposed solution, I’ve factory reset my system several time, nothing will do, can’t update.Here is my diagnostic report : 1410586573 Hope someone can sort this out as it is super annoying… Thanks!

J’ai déjà reçu ma barre de son Beam 2, mais je suis incapable de la connecter! J’ai toujours un message me disant qu’un appareil interfère avec la connexion HDMI.Pourtant, j’ai seulement le décodeur qui est branché dans le HDMI 1.Je dois faire quoi pour me débarasser de cet interférence? 

I have an original LG oled B6 TV which does not have eArc.Currently I am using a Denon 5.1.4 setup and have my sources plugged into the Denon and my 2nd HDMI out into the Syncbox, everything works perfectly.Is the HDMI on the Arc bi directional?Would this workSources-SyncBox-Arc-TVAs from my understanding going this other route loses me Hi Res audioSources-SyncBox-TV-Arc as wouldSources-TV-SyncBox-ARC which would also render the syncbox useless

Beam has been connected to LG tv, ARC input for about 3 months. On about 1/12/21 there was a Virgin Media tv outage, which appeared to coincide with an LG software update. The TV & VM box had to be powered off to reset. Since then the Beam cannot be reconnected. Error msg “A device is interfering with the hdmi connection” - But nothing is connected, all is as was before the VM outage 

Arc + SL surrounds + gen 3 sub. loud pop then loss of sound while on Apple TV. Had to come out of the source and then went back in and it worked. happened 3 x today in total. Each time with Atmos audio. Concerned about damaging the speakers.  my diagnostic confirmation number is: 1582558006.

Salve,vorrei rifare l’impianto audio del mio salotto comprando una soundbar arc, il relativo sub e le 2 casse satelliti One. Vorrei inoltre comprare anche il giradischi pro-ject versione sonos. E’ possibile sfruttare l’impianto Home TV per sentire i dischi? se si in che modo?

Hi, all. Would appreciate any support on this issue. I have a brand new Beam Gen 2 hooked up to my Sony XBR900 TV via eARC. I have an Apple TV 4K hooked up via HDMI to my Sony TV. I am using all high capacity HDMI Cables. When I listen to music via my Apple TV using Apple Music service on the ATV, I get a loud popping noise and then the playback stops. I have to hit the select button on the ATV remote to get the playback to work.I have unplugged the Beam Gen 2 for a few minutes and reset it - still get the popping sound.Anybody else have this problem? Any solutions? Thanks,Paul
