Home theater

Trying to connect Fire stick 4k connects to HDMI2 port of my TV 43UP77006LB. Sonos beam (gen 2) in connected  via HDMI 1 (ARC). All works fine. When I replaced the Fire stick with Panasonic DBM-BD75 blue Ray dvd player, all I get is the Sonos screen. Selecting home screen on the TV reveals home screen for just a few seconds then returns to the Sonos screen.Since the TV has effectively only one spare HDMI port my plan was to connect the firestick and dvd via an hdmi 4k auto select switch, but first I need to see that the dvd plays video through the TV, and sound via the Sonos beam. Any tips on fixing this? 

I currently have a samsung frame above a fireplace. The wire for this is very well hidden down the side and under the carpet about 3 metres to the samsung one connect box. I’d really like to add some more speakers for films/music to the room and possibly a turntable. My predicament is that I can't start moving sockets etc as the room is wallpapered.I wondered how it would work if I had the following set up:Sonos Amp with HDMI into samsung one connect boxSonos Arc/Beam under TV ( can this connect via Sonos app as the tv one connect box will be connected to the amp? or do I need to directly connect the Soundbar to tv box via HDMI?2 Sonos Play 1 as rear speakers Sonos subwoofer My hope is that the Soundbar doesn't need to be connected with HDMI and can use the amp...but I don't know a great deal about these things so any advice would be  gratefully received

I have a sonos beam and two sonos SLs that I am trying to connect to my Sonos App. Whenever I need to reset my wifi router they seem to lose connection to the app. I have tried repeatedly unplugging my router, then the speakers, and then plug back in my router then once the wifi is back up and running I will plug back my speakers. I have done the hard resets on the speakers as well. Sometimes I have luck connecting all of them and then I’m not able to set them up as a surround sound speaker. And then the next second none of the speakers are showing up in my app. Any help would be much appreciated!

I have accidently damaged (dented) the front body of sonos Arc. is there a way to mend it

Audio cuts out and comes back while I am playing a game on the Xbox Series S. I am playing on a Hisense U8G tv. I have the Xbox plugged into HDMI port 4 for the 120hz. I have the Sonos Beam plugged into HDMI port 3 with the eARC. My setting on the xbox are HDMI audio Stereo Uncompressed (I have also tried dolby digital). The xbox is set to 1440p 120hz. As for the tv settings, HDMI Format Enhanced, audio output eARC, and digital audio out is PCM. I have tried different settings and different hdmi cables and keep getting the same issue. Is there something I am missing or is something wrong with the beam. Thanks

I’m trying to connect my Sub to an Arc and it’s not working. Been through other threads and troubleshooting steps (rebooting router, factory resets, connect via Ethernet, etc) without success. Summited a diagnostic (845368739) hoping to get some assistance.  As some background the sub was connected and working for a week with a new Arc. (It had been working for a year prior with a playbar.)  At some point last week sound stopped coming from the sub, which led to the attempts to get it working again with the arc. Wi-Fi is enabled on the sub and arc and they’re 4ft apart when I try to connect.  please let me know any additional info needed. 

Can I connect the Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable to the Beam Gen 2?

I’m having some issues with the sound on 2 separate TV’s.  I have an Arc with a Samsung QN90A and AppleTV. My problem occurs when transitioning from episode to episode. For example, I watch an episode on Disney Plus with perfect sound. When the episode ends a new episode will automatically begin. When the new episode starts there is no sound. I have to exit the episode and restart it 2-3 times for the sound to work. This same issue occurs with Netflix.  Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on how to resolve?

Sounds great in general but occasionally with dialogue there is a buzzing sound--typically when a young woman is speaking at a specific pitch, or when someone is talking over the phone or a police radio in a movie. This was happening with The Guilty (Jake Gyllenhaal) on Netflix which was very annoying since he was a 911 operator always on the phone. When I switch from Dolby sound to PCM the buzzing goes away. Beam is about a month old and since this is just an intermittent problem I may be able to live with it but thought I would see if there were any easy fixes to check out. Connection is HDMI from Hisense H8G.

 I have a Sharp Aquos LC-52D64U Could you please advise how to turn the internal speakers off on this model so that I can attach a sound bar.  (If this is the problem).  The sound bar is connected to the TV through the digital audio output terminal but will not play sound.  (in absence of HDMI-arc.)  The only audio adjustment is the variable or fixed option mentioned in previous discussions and changing to variable doesn't get me sound on the Beam.  There is no other setting on the TV menu.  SONOS has determined through diagnostics that the Beam is connected to my TV properly through the digital optic output but I still get no sound from the beam

I used to have my Sonos Amp connected to my Pro-ject turntable (debut III with preamp). I moved my Amp away and recently also got a Sonos Port. I connected my turntable to the port and want to use it as an input for the record player. But the audio keeps dropping, at some point my system goes total haywire. Most Sonos devices totally drop out and are missing from the system and after a while come back. Today it even when they came back claimed two S2 products (Ikea speakers) where incompatible with S2 and after a few more minutes they did show up normally again.This is my setup:Pro-ject recordplayer line into Sonos PortSonos Amp Sonos Arc + Sub + 2 Sonos Ones SL2 Sonos Ikea speakersSonos OneSonos Play:1Sonos RoamSonos Boost The port is NOT connected to any receiver and just functioning as a line in for the turntable.I try and play the line in on the Arc, Play:1 and/or Amp. Lots of drops of the sound until it all goes haywire.When it goes haywire it seems like mostly the products who us

Hi there, I’m trying to set up surround sound using 2 x play 1 and a beam. It works great when playing music but if I stream Netflix I only get sound from the beam. I’ve checked and the beam is receiving Dolby digital 5.1 audio in but there is still no sound coming from either play 1. 

I have just taken the plunge and ordered a Beam Gen 2 to replace original Beam in a Home Theater setup with two Play:1 providing surround.  This will release the original Beam to be used with our bedroom tv providing much needed sound improvement.  Will I need to reinstall all from scratch or just add the new device and associate the surround speakers with it and then just change the romm for the original Beam?  No real clarity for such a move in support search

Bonjour,J’utilise un ensemble Sonos Arc + Sub + Play One sur une TV Samsung ue55nu7405 depuis pas mal de temps.Aujourd'hui, j’ajoute un casque Bluetooth à cette configuration mais en le sélectionnant, l’audio revient systématiquement au bout de quelques secondes sur la source HDMI ARC. Il semble que cela soit dû à la fonction Anynet+, activé pour le fonctionnement des Sonos.Est-ce que l’un de vous aurait une solution, à part désactiver systématiquement la fonction Anynet+ pour l’écoute au casque et la réactiver pour l’écoute avec les Sonos ce qui est assez fastidieux ?Merci d’avance.

Hi, I have placed Sonos Arc above my gas powered fire place and below my TV. Is it safe at this spot?  And what are the operating conditions for ARC?  Appreciate your feedback! thanks  DN  

I have had my 2 Play:1s connected to a Playbar for several years with no issues. The system used a Bridge wired directly to my router. I recently removed the bridge and switched to the Sonos2 app (the Bridge is not compatible with the S2 app).Now I have no sound from the Play:1s. There is a Warning in the System Info under the Playbar listing which now states “Your wireless network will not support the use of a Sub or surrounds with your Playbar”. As stated, when using the Bridge and S1 app I did not have this problem.Can anyone please help?

Connected my sonos beam 2 and sub gen 3 to my tv. Sound plays via beam 2 but sub is not playing sound.  ive tried multiple things, resetting router, connecting play 5 to router with cable, turn all sonos products off and on, connect sub to a different sonos (play 5), it’s still not working. I have submitted diagnostic information 1095816000

I just received my new Sonos Home Theater (Arc, Sub, and 2 ones).  I have an LG 65 OLED C9 that sits on a TV stand, where the stand is in the old school TV niche and the TV spans the front of the niche so that it is flush with the wall.  The bottom of the TV is at 19” and the top of the TV is at 51”.  My seating position is 11' from the TV at about 40” high.  I have 18’ tall 2-story ceilings in this room.  Because of the upward firing speakers I can’t put the arc on the TV stand below the TV, but I could mount it on the front of the TV stand below the TV where it would clear the front of the TV.  If I did that and had the top of the arc 4.5” from the bottom of the TV, the bottom of the arc would only be 10” from the floor.  Alternatively, I could mount the arc above the TV.  If I mount it 5” above the TV, the bottom of the Arc would be at 56”.  Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. 

Hi folks - I’ve recently purchased a Sonos Arc + two Sonos 1 speakers, and set them up with a Vizio P659-G1, and a Roku Ultra 4800R.One thing I noticed was that the I couldn’t hear the surround speakers very well when watching any content on the Roku. I also noticed that if I played Spotify via the Sonos app I could hear the surround speakers really well, but if I play the Spotify app via the Roku, I’m only getting Stereo PCM sound through it… And whenI play Netflix, or Amazon Prime, I see “Dolby Digital Plus 5.1” on my Sonos app.I started reading some threads here about Roku devices, and encoding, and what not, and I figured it might be easier to just ask a question here.Should the Spotify app on my Roku only output Stereo PCM sound? Or is that a limitation because of Roku or my TV?

Hi, I have just recieved the beam gen 2, and after only a couple of days usage I am getting a really annoying buzz at certain sound levels from the right hand side of the unit. I have looked this issue up on the net, and someone else had what sounded to be a similar issue. They reported that if they applied pressure by pressing down on the right hand side of the beam then it didn’t happen. This appears to be the case for me as well. Is this a known common issue? Is there anything I can do about it, or is it a return job, which I really can’t be bothered doing lol.Many Thanks

Hello Just received the sonos arc. I am replacing a samsung curve ms6500 sound bar from 2016. My problem is the sonos sounds like utter garbage even compared to my ancient samsung.  Theres no bass, depth, or i dunno how to explain it. It sounds tinny or metallic, empty. Does anyone know whats going on and how this supposedly unreal sound bar that cost me over 900 sounds like garbage? The only thing im hoping is its my old samsung 55un8500 tv and crappy arc one connect box or something but im not hopeful. Im 2 seconds away from returning this thing but i want it to work. I did go buy another tv , 2021lg oled c series and its coming in Tuesday so Im going to wait and see how it performs on a new tv vs a 7 year old one.  Tv isnt because of sonos arc, more of an excuse. I wanted it lol. I dont have iphone and certainly not buying one as they are just as much money and lets be honest that shouldnt be a fix. Theres no true play android i assume? Thoughts or comments? 

Hi,About 2.5 months ago I bought a Sonos Arc to go along with a Sony A80J. Everything is great except one very specific situation. When watching on HBO MAX and the show is in Atmos the sound will cut out every few minutes. In my case, the sound will not come back unless I turn the television off or switch the audio source back and forth. However, once it is back it will cut out again a few minutes later. I can watch movies/shows in Atmos on HBO Max with the TV speakers without any issue. I don’t have any issues watching shows in Atmos on any other app (e.g., Netflix, Disney+) or in 5.1 on HBO MAX or otherwise. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? It is really frustrating because I want to take advantage of the Arc when a show is available in Atmos. Thanks for you help.

Hey guys  Super excited to get arc for Xmas. Setting it up and had issues with it not being recognised etc etc. Googling sorted this and managed to get it set up.  When working through the menus etc I came across this, I think we’ve been sold a return, what do you think? It cabs from a well known high street store.    

I currently have an arc, sub gen 3 and two 1 SL’s setup for home theater in my family room, Sonos 1 in adjacent kitchen, Beam gen 2 in  master bedroom, boost and Move in kids playroom and a Five in the garage. I will be setting up my pool house and outdoor sound this spring. I have already purchased sonos Amp, sonos sonance outdoor pair for under pool house eaves, a second gen 3 sub for inside the pool house, and a Sonos 1 for inside the pool house for the convenience of voice control for wife and guests. My question is this, Will I be able to group the sonance pair and amp with the Sonos 1 and sub as one “Room” OR will the amp, and sonance be one “room” and the Sonos 1 and sub be a seperate “room”? Reason I am asking is I have found google assistant voice control to be finicky when selecting “rooms” to cast to. S2 in app experience is straight forward and easy to use, but I am more concerned with voice control and “Hey Google”. Thanks for any input!

Hello everyone, I am interested in purchasing a Beam (Gen 2). My TV has ARC support through HDMI. I utilize my laptop as my entertainment center. I am currently using a low quality Bluetooth soundbar that provides sound for my laptop. I own a PlayStation 4 and of course, I cannot connect, so I am utilizing TV speakers for that sound. I would like to have my PlayStation 4, TV and Laptop utilize the Sonos Beam (Gen 2). My laptop does have HDMI, but does not have a SPDIF port, I have no problem investing in a USB type device that will provide me one. My issue is that I do not know how to make sure I will receive audio through my laptop onto the Sonos. I am ready to purchase the speaker, but I am at a loss for establishing the laptop connection, which is used by me daily.
