Home theater

I'm a recent purchaser of Sonos products, after being impressed with them in holiday rentals.My first purchase has been the below:ArcEra 100 x 2Sub Gen4 The interesting, not to mention frustrating, thing I've found is the fact Trueplay is missing from the Arc settings. The Era 100s both show the option to run Trueplay (when not paired as Surrounds with the Arc) but the Arc is completely missing it even when not paired with any other speaker. I've tried the below to rectify this, based on other posts and videos: Rebooted all speakers - issue is still presentUnpaired everything, including the sub - issue is still present Reset the App - issue is still presentCleared all App cache and data - issue is still presentCleared all App cache and data, then uninstalled and reinstalled the App - issue is still presentPaired the Eras back to the Arc - issue is still present but now I obviously cannot Trueplay the Eras as they are in the Arc 'system' I'm using a Samsung S21, I've seen lots of report

I have a large room (26’ x 26’) with couch in middle of room facing tv. Current setup is beam soundbar paired with (2) sonos ones as surround and also (2) sonos ones beside the beam facing the listener. The (2) ones adjacent the beam soundbar are paired and make a considerable difference when watching movies.Current Large Room (26’ x 26’):Beam Soundbar (2) Adjacent Sonos Ones facing listener (2) Sonos Ones paired with Beam as Surround I am debating purchasing an Arc Ultra and moving the beam and (2) adjacent ones to a smaller room to make (2) surround sound tv setups. Two room setup would then look like this:Large Room (26’ x 26’):Arc Ultra (2) One’s paired as surroundSmall Room:Beam (2) Ones paired as surroundI am concerned that the Arc Ultra as stand-alone with (2) Ones as surround will not be as powerful as the current setup. I know I could also buy (2) Era 300’s but I’m not interested in spending that much currently. Thoughts?

New to the group…….so please be kind.  I am keen on buying the Arc Ultra. However I understand the Arc Ultra does NOT support Play 1s as surround speakers.  is there any chance Sonos will change this limitation or is it a technical issue?

My questions:What decides whether surround bonding uses 2.4G vs. 5G? Is there any way to control or force to one direction? Are there any other options I have here other than hardwiring all my devices in rooms that have surround bonding?Full context:I’ve been chasing some wireless issues on my home network in my 2.4GHz channel space, I previously had my living room Arc hardwired to my home network, and that was making a SonosNet network for the rest of the home.  Two days ago I unplugged that Arc from my home network, and then all my devices went from WM:0 to WM:1, and everything seemed to work really nice, and the other non-Sonos devices on my 2.4GHz wireless network that were having issues, started working much better. One of my rooms has a Beam 2 with a pair of One SLs as surrounds.  I decided to add a Sub Mini to that room, and now one of the non-Sonos devices that was having 2.4G issues is having issues again.  After Googling, I see online that surround bonding typically uses 5GHz

Jan 19th '25. I used my satellite volume controls and EQ last night whilst watching a film. Today, after an app update they have vanished. This happened a couple of years ago as well and I remember they disappeared for about a week before Sonos sorted it out and they reappeared. Does anyone have the same issue? Or have they just moved them to a silly location that is difficult to find?  

I’m using surround sound at home for the first time. I think on some 2.0 video content an attempt is being made to upmix to 5.1 or similar somewhere in my chain of devices but it’s patchy and I would personally rather just have my left and right Era 300s also playing the L and R channels. Is this possible, either through Sonos or from particular devices? I’d consider buying a replacement streaming box that does this.  AppleTV4K ——> LG C4 —(eARC)—> Sonos Arc Ultra/Era 300s/SubMini This is what I’m currently using. 

Hi I'm just wondering if these two are compatible? The TV didn't have a optical port so I bought an adapter to connect optical port to HDMI but it still won't connect

HelloCan i use a LAN câble to connect m'y sono one to a vidéo projector?

should i use a 8K Arcana VRR 40Gbps arcana2 with the sonos arc ultra?  I am trying to connect a ps5 pro and a projector.  I want to be able to use Dolby Atmos.  Not sure how to split the audio off from the projector.

I used to be able to listen to Spotify, Netflix, etc., on a single Sonos speaker and then connect to additional speakers with the Sonos App.  I would initiate the listening session with my iPhone 15, or a Macbook Air.  Once I selected other speakers, they would all play whatever was currently playing.  But since the last major downgrade to the Sonos App, whenever I select additional speakers via the Sonos App, the speakers go silent.  I can only select multiple speakers after selecting a music streaming service via the Sonos App.The only work around that I found was to walk to each additional speaker and press the play button until the currently streaming service is heard.  Is this Sonos App issue going to ever be resolved or is there some other solution?  I cannot see any Sonos groups available in Airplay from either an iPhone or a Macbook.  And the Sonos App only allows you to stream music to multiple speakers if the streaming service is initiated from the Sonos App.  And I can’t ver

Sonos Arc Ultra. TV sound fades out when audio clip is being plaid.

I know this issue is addressed from various angles. I have the Beam 2 and it was a huge improvement over a Vizio soundbar. Clarity of dialog was the biggest issue watching TV, movies etc. I am talking exclusively TV, not music. I am considering adding 2 ERA 100 speakers to get to the next level. I assume this will create a Surround Sound environment and generally improve clarity and dialog/sound. I keep reading about a short lag between the sound bar, speakers and TV. Is this a big issue or are we splitting hairs? It’s $400 dollars or so and there is no reason for a false start if it’s not going to work right. It’s a big room, 15x15 and opens into a kitchen and front room. No doors.

It happens randomly multiple times per day. I have a Samsung TV. It happens no matter which streaming app I use. I have to cycle the tv off and on by holding down the power button. Super annoying and frustrating, especially with little kids whose patience level is non existent. Seen other posts but absolutely no answers.  I am connecting through HDMI and when I toggle the volume it says e-arc. It’s starting to not be worth the frustration even with the sound quality being so high.  does anyone know why this happens. Is it a Samsung thing, a Sonos issue? I am using the hdmi cord provided by sonos. The tv is only a few years old. 

Considering buying the Sonos Arc Ultra. Would like other’s experience with setting up the system. With just the soundbar? Soundbar with two rear, wireless speakers for surround sound?

I am at a loss. I have the BenQ projector with the Sonos Arc Ultra + two surrounds Era 100. First of all the surrounds are really quiet even when I turn them up in the app. Can barely ever hear them even though they are closer to me than the Sonos Arc Ultra. The main issue is that the Arc keeps cutting out and making some static popping noises every few seconds. I tried to play with the sound formats but nothing helps.  Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello. Yesterday during watching a Transformers on SkyShowtime 5.1, no Dolby Atmos, At some moment I heard a loud single crack sound.Could be of course just some quality jump or signal issue.Just wondering, if there is or will be added in the future option, when all the speakers can be tested one by one as now I am bit worried if all is playing as before and was it just glitch or speaker by itself.Tried rewind immediately and wasn't there anymore.Did someone experienced something similar? If does already exist something to test speakers one by one, let me know please :) Just don't ask me to check by putting my ear close to speaker as 9.1.4 speaker... I am not doing it :D Thank you for any respond and have a nice day. :)

Hi. Are these Sonos surround sounds have an equalizer that I can adjust like before?

Bonjour,  je viens d’installer ma beam 2, j’ai l’impression que l’image est en avance sur le son. Surtout sur les service de stream de l’Apple TV (netflix, Apple tv….)télé Philips 55oled854apple tv beam 2 (Arc)une idée?  merci à vous 

I found a solution by getting a cheap universal remote and pairing it to the Sonos soundbar then adding the universal remote to the Apple TV.  the Apple TV then controls the sound. 

I’ve spent a total of about 5 hours on the phone with Sonos tech support with no good results.I’m installing a Sonos home theater for my customer in a room with dimensions of 36’ X 25’ X 18 ‘ ceiling and cement slab floor. Using Arc Ultra, Sub 4 and an Amp for existing hardwired surround sound speakers to be used with their TV.It seems that Sonos has decided that when the Amp is used for surround sound speakers only, that they are going to decided what proportion of the audio signal goes to the Arc and the surround sound speakers. That is  . . . . . there is no individual volume control for each of the surround sound speakers. Now I know there’s a “Level” audio control and a speaker distance control but there is no “individual” “volume” control.My issues is  . . . . my customer has paid almost a thousand dollars for a 125 watt per channel stereo amplifier, which when used to power two stand alone floor standing speakers, will knock your socks off, yet when used to power two small 5 inc

HelloI recently purchased a Sonos Arc Ultra and 2 Era 300s. Everything works very well, but I'm noticing for the second time a problem with the bass on certain Dolby Atmos films. The sound starts skipping when the base level is too high, as if the system is unable to deliver it. It usually cuts out for half a second, but it can be much longer with choppy sound for several seconds. So I'm wondering if the problem comes from the bar or if it's something common when you don't have a subwoofer. I noticed the problem in the films Civil War and Sicario, especially with the helicopters.

Hi, i’ve just updated my Arc including 2 play 1’s which are my surrounds, just 1 of the play 1’s will not update, keeps failing, tried all the obvious, any help appreciated as this is really annoying me as you can imagine.kind regards Jamie.

I recently bought 2 stands for my Sonos One speakers. In order to put the speakers on, I had to unplug them. I rebooted them and they show up in the app. I did the sound test where you move your arm in circles etc to tune it. At the top of System settings it says estimated time 1 minute to tune the speakers with True Play but the time never disappears. I’m using them with a Beam. Any suggestions on next steps in problem solving?

Hi,What's the best way to adapt my coax output from my Tv to the HDMI earc input of the Beam gen2 and still get good sound quality from my soundbar?Any suggestions on the product I should get? Thank you
