Home theater

Hi,Earlier today I was playing with the placement of my sub mini to get rid of some unwanted boominess around 50hz.After finding a spot that sounds better, I noticed that if I lower the subwoofer level to the minimum (-15), the bass boominess at 50hz is back. And… it seems to be coming from the arc ultra!! In other words, it seems that adjusting the subwoofer level seems to affect how much bass is played by the ultra vs sub.I'm pretty sure this is not how things worked in other sonos soundbars I tried, or the sonos amp I own. In those cases the crossover frequency is set at a fixed level - anything above is sent to the soundbar and anything below to the sub. And the sub level is just a gain control for the sub output.But my feeling is that, for the ultra , sub level is controlling both the gain AND the crossover between the bar and the sub. I find this is making it harder for me to integrate the sub in my system (in fact, my usual sub placement no longer works, as it sounds too boomy f

I have a TCL 55c745k TV and just purchased a beam 2. I am unable to get the soundbar to output to Atmos with Disney plus or 4k blu rays? My Xbox series x shows that without the soundbar, it can process Atmos, but with It plugged into the EARC with HDMI 2.1  cable, it says I can't output it anymore.  Please can someone help me with this, otherwise I may just sell it and find another way to output atmos

i recently bought a Sonos arc ultra with a sub gen 4. i hooked it up to my Sony a80L tv, went through setup. when i play Dolby Atmos content regardless from what source whether its MAX, Disney, ETC the audio will cut out for a split second (very fast but annoying) every 3-5 seconds. i have gone through my tv settings and made sure eArc is on auto, audio is set to passthrough, etc. nothing seems to fix the problem. the issue does not happen with non dolby content.

I have the Arc Ultra/Sub 4 and Era 300 I have just removed the Era 300s from surround sound as it is so bad I can’t bear to listen to it any more. I think it is something like a synchronisation issue but the sound is horrendous. Anyone experienced this?

Hi,I currently have in ceiling speakers powered by a multi zone amp using a Port as the source. The speakers are in the perfect place to be surround speakers for my TV, to which I am considering adding an Arc Ultra and sub. That TV currently has a different sound bar.If I do this, I would want to use the in ceilings as surrounds. First, I dont think the port is capable of this, so I would have to switch that zone to a Sonos Amp…. frustrating, but fine. I sill have a few issues and questions…The amp is in a downstairs audio closet but I am able to hardwire ethernet the Amp and the Arc to the same switch if necessary. Is there any issue that they are in different rooms? The sub would be in the same room as the Arc. In this configuration, my 4 in ceiling speakers are now bonded to the Arc meaning they are somewhat permanently “surround” speakers. In movie mode, no big deal, but in music mode, will they be “secondary” to the arc? In music mode, I prefer to have the in ceiling speakrs doing

Hello, I need Atmos theatre sound for a portable projector - it has e-arc I believe  I have  a play base which works but isn't used much any more -  not sure if that has e -arc or if there is a work around  any advice how to bring the  play base into use ? Also  how to  “add”  to it ?  Or do I buy a beam 2?   I  dont want to buy an arc ultra as  this all has to be positioned within feet /  meters of the projector (cable length ) and put away  after the holidays until next year ?  Any advice please ?   

I have just bought a Sonos beam gen 2 which I’ve added in to my home set up paired with an OLED LG C2 tv and a Roku 4k steaming stick.I have the beam connected by the arc port on the LG and then the Roku stick by an additional HDMI port.i can get Dolby atmos and Dolby 5.1 fine on the LG’s native  apps but only get stereo PCM for the same content on the Roku.  have tweaked all the relevant settings on the LG  ie pass through etc as well as custom digital output to Dolby digital on the Roku stick.I had read that the Roku stick was capable of Dolby Atmos so I’m presuming there must be some setting on the LG which I’m missing. It’s not a deal breaker having no Dolby atmos on the Roku as I can get it on the native apps but would be better if I could.

When I play Spotify from my Sony tv the volume on my ERA300 surrounds is very low but if I play via Bluetooth the surround volume is fine, any fixes for this? Thanks

Hi, trying to connect our new sonos arc ultra to our 10 years old Samsung smarttv. Using the hdmi cable that came with the sonos.The soundbar works, but connecting with the smarttv doesn't. It says "interferes with another HDMI device.I removed all other devices and tried other hdmi cables to connect the arc.I shut down and restarted the wifi router. I can't find the sound settings in the tv menu, to check for the CEC settings.Don't know what to do more.The soundbar works well with the mini woofer and another sonos speaker.But we want to use is as tv soundbar ofcourse.Can anybody please help me any further?Thanks!   

Hi there, here is my tiny home cinema space, and I need some advice please :)As you can see, one side is closed and the other one (where I stand to take the photo) is open to a large room, next wall (behind me) is 4m20 from the end of the couch.The wall of the tv is 2m50, the couch is 2m60.Left wall and TV wall are 3m30 away.I intend to switch my sennheiser ambeo max + B&W sub to a sonos arc ultra, mainly to use my ace headphone and avoid disturbing my daughter’s sleep.I plan to add later a sub (maybe a mini so it could fit in my TV bench) and some surround speakers.My choice would be the era 300 because I watch a lot of atmos content, but how to place them...There is no more other half so I can do whatever I want :)I was thinking about move a little forward the couch (maybe 30cm and improvise a home made thin shelf to fill the void), use stands or wall mount.But if it’s ok I can just wall mount the era 300 without moving the couch.Unfortunatly the era 300 would be very close to th

Sonos should consider integrating Dolby Atmos FlexConnect into its set-top box as it would mark a major advancement in delivering superior sound quality for home theater systems. This cutting-edge technology would enable users to expand their setup effortlessly by adding more speakers while maintaining distortion-free audio, regardless of where the speakers are placed in the room. 

Hi,I’m building a new house and am planning on using an arc ultra, sub 4 and 2 era 300s in my media room. The media room is 4m x 4m.  Ceiling height is 3m.  The tv will be mounted on one wall with the arc ultra below it.  My question relates to the era 300s.  The sofa will be up against the opposite wall from the TV.  The room isn’t big enough for this to be spaced away from the wall.At what height and how far from the side walls would you mount the era 300s?  They can’t be at the recommended 80-100cm as it would be too close to ears (or you’d hit your head on them). Many thanks.

Is it possible to use a remote control when move is connected to my tv via Bluetooth as the tv remote doesn’t alter the volume and I have to manually adjust or is there another way to connect to my tv

I’m pretty good with computers however, it took about 7 hours over a 3 day period to get my system updated and back up and running.  This just isn’t right…Along with an hour and 10 minutes on the phone with Sonos support who were unable to help…Very disappointed… 

Hey all,I recently upgraded to the Sonos Arc Ultra in my living room, hooked up to an LG C1 OLED via eARC, and with an Apple TV 4k (newest model) as my main source for streaming and Apple Music. I’ve recently noticed that when I group my Sonos Ones that are in other rooms with the TV audio, it’s VERY choppy, to the point where I find it unlistenable. This problem does not happen when I stream music from the Sonos app or Airplay via my phone, so I think it has something to do with sound coming into the sonos via the Apple TV. I had my previous Sonos Arc hooked up via ethernet to create a SonosNet connection around the house and never had this problem, so I’m wondering if that’s part of the issue (I know the Ultra does *not* support SonosNet). As for if it’s a network issue, I have a relatively small house (about 1200 square feet) with AT&T Fiber and have a few internet range extenders so coverage should not be an issue.  Is anybody else experiencing this issue? I haven’t reached out

Alguien sabe si mi sonos beam es compatible con pantalla Sony?? No reconoce el cable HDMI y el cable de fibra óptica 

So I’ve got a pretty consistent problem with my new setup. Sound tends to pulse. Like half a second every second. It does this for a bit, then seems ok, then does it some more.It sounds like sound is shifting back and forth between Arc and Era surrounds.Super annoying.Any ideas?

HiMy current setup is an Era 100 in my bedroom and a Beam 2 in my living room with my LG tv.I live in an apartment building, so my couch is flush against the wall in my 230 sq ft living room.I was planning on upgrading my living room setup during this Black Friday / holiday season for an improves sound..Would you guys say that having a Beam 2 paired with 2xEra 100 speakers as surrounds with wall mounts would significantly improve the listening experience, as opposed to buying an Arc Ultra (after selling the Beam 2)?I am not too fond of the idea of installing wall mounts next to my couch due to aesthetic reasons. I'm also aware that the ideal surround speakers placement would be behind the couch, which is not applicable in my case. I will however prioritize an option that will yield a better listening experience over aesthetics. I know the Arc Ultra is a significant improvement over the Beam 2, I am just not sure how well it can mimic a surround sound  experience.Adding a Sub Mini to my

After connecting my era 300 to my new Sonos arc ultra and updating firmware and app I have now noticed that surround formats aren’t being rendered properly through the era 300 speakers. During 5.1 content the surround effects are coming from the top speakers only and in 7.1 the surround rear effect speakers do not make sound only side surrounds and top make any sound. Is anyone else noticing this?

My Sonos surround sound sl speakers ain’t producing any sound but my sub mini  and gen 2 beam is 

Is the Sonos Arc + Gen 3 Subwoofer + Amp & architectural series speakers all combined not a true Dolby Atmos experience?  The architectural series add on is not Atmos, yes/no? If not why?? It’s supposed to be the high end combo package

I have a Sonos Ray soundbar that I have recently purchased, and it is not connecting to my Xfinity cable box remote control. I have set up the speaker on the Sonos App. I could not connect the speaker to the remote control using App prompts. I called customer service, sent photos of remote control, supplied identification numbers from remote control battery compartment and the cable box console, and was told that Sonos is unable verify compatibility. The Xfinity remote operates the TV and cable box without line of sight, so I believe It works using radio frequency signals. A quick Google search shows that most Xfinity remotes operate using RF signaling. The Sonos Ray does not come with it’s own remote, and is apparently intended to operate through the customer’s remote or TV. Another quick Google search shows that Comcast Xfinity supplies more than 40% of the United States with broadband and cable, so I suspect that an extremely large population of the U.S. has the same remote control

Just purchased an arc ultra when assigning my subs gen 3 and a gen 1 to my living room. The gen 3 has no problem assigning to the living room but the gen 1 won’t assign to the room.

My TV group (Playbase, Sub and 2 Play1’s) has periodic audio dropouts during streaming of audio when grouped with other speakers. It works fine when not in a group and when playing TV audio.  This is new with the latest update, but did occurred in very early updates.  The Playbase is wired to my router, but WIFi is turned on. 

HiI’ve read a few threads related to this topic and most of them are over a year ago. I wanted to ask this question again to see if anyone experienced this with the newer TVs using HDMI eARC on the Sonos and the Apple TV. Setup:LG OLED C4 + Sonos Arc + Apple TV 4K Apple TV 4K connected to HDMI 1 Sono Arc connected to the HDM2 eARCIssue:On the TV, when trying to switch the sound output to any other types other than HDMI eARC, within seconds, it automatically switches back to the HDMI eARC. I have a set up to use the digital audio PCM to connect to the mixer for at home entertainment karaoke. In my previous LG TV LED, I wasn’t using the Sono at the time and able to switch between the TV Speakers and Digital Audio without any issue while using the Apple TV 4K connecting to HDMI 1.  From what I’ve read, this is not specifically to LG, but it I more specifically to the HDMI eARC CEC Simplelink setup. Temporarily Workaround:I’ve read a suggestion on one of the thread, they connect the Sonos
