Hello.Devices in discussion:Playstation 5Sonos Arc Ultra + Sub Gen 3 + IKEA Symfonisk rear pairPhilips 65OLED705/12Problem statement:I have recently bought Sonos Arc Ultra. I was blown away by the Atmos sound when playing some movies on Netflix. I decided to also turn on Dolby Atmos on my PS5. Unfortunately, since then whenever I use the console and then go back to use any TV App like Netflix or HBO the sound stutters for a second every minute or so. The only way to bring it back is to unplug all HDMI devices, turn off TV for a minute and same for Arc Ultra. What happens and how can I prevent that?Desirable solution:I want to use both TV apps and PS5 without any issues, still using Dolby Atmos on PS5 and also in my movies.

Sonos arc works thru the app when I play music but when I switch to TV it doesn’t play.  Just started happening.  I was able hear Sonos both thrust and music app via Sonos now nothing on the tv. 

Cannot get beam 2 to connect to 2 play ones for surround sound 

When will u add more then 2 speakers sounds 

Recently got an ultra and era 300s coming from Arc and Sonos ones. mostly do movie watching but on occasions like to play some music. Arc and ones sounded pretty good but I’m disappointed by the era 300s for music playback, find them very tinny sounding and don’t sound as good as the ones I had. Don’t quite understand why they sound so poor, for the cost of them I thought they would excel at all content thrown at them. I’ve tinkered with settings but of ended up setting them to ambient rather than full play back. Has anyone experience of this? Know why they are so poor. 

HiSo i got a new router yesterday and tried to set up my Sonos system again. But My playbar and sub wont connect. I can see both of Them in the app and when i try to set them Up it says preparing and then the message a problem occurd unplug and try again comes up.I've tried to factory reset them both but that doesnt help. And tried to use a cable between Them and the router too but that doesnt work either. Im wondering if anyone has any ideas or could provide any help on how to proceed.My 2 One SL installed without a hitch.

Hi,  I am looking to upgrade my TV to match up with my Arc Ultra and I wanted to make sure there are no issues connecting these two together. 2024 Sony Bravia 8 and the Arc Ultra. plan is to use the E-Arc connection as I have done before so I really don’t expect an issue, but thought I’d ask before I spend the money on the TV

I have a Sonos Ray connected to my tv and attached to the tv on a mount to hide all wires. I’d like to get a cd player to connect to the ray so I can enjoy the sound via the Sonos Ray. What are my options that don’t include purchasing a Sonos dock which is out of my price range? Is there any way to connect to my Sonos Ray via Bluetooth and avoid messy wires up to it? or use a blue ray player that plays CD’s and somehow mount that to the TV as well to avoid messy wires coming down from the TV to a player?

Since the new Arc Ultra has Bluetooth, would I be able to play spatial audio tracks from my iPad directly to it instead of using Apple Music? I would like to play my own produced tracks, not Apple Music songs and there wasn’t a way to do it with the original Arc.

I recently purchased an Arc soundbar & Sub(Gen3) and wanted to connect my existing speakers to the Arc. Suggestions greatly appreciated. 

I recently purchased a Sonos Arc, which came with an HDMI cable. I have a Rockefish $30 HDMI cable, “ultra high speed”, and “Dynamic HDR”.  I assume that the cable included with the Arc is already optimized, and I can return the Rocketfish cable.  But thought I’d check in with the community first; any benefit to using the fancy-pants cable over what Sonos included in the box? 

Would adding a 2nd sub to the front of the room right under the TV make any sense? I already have a sub right behind the couch. The reason why it’s not in the back corners is because I wanted to keep the base down for my neighbors. It can’t be in the corners up front because there is no wall. It’s a weird room.  

Hi,I’m building a home theater setup. I have a 9.2.4 setup in the room (arc ultra + 2 gen4 subs + 2 era300 ). I want to do some acoustic treatment to improve sound since the room walls are empty and have too much reverberation. I’m looking into getting some acoustic panels maybe also some diffusers. I’m trying to figure out how much can I treat without affecting sound channels directionality.I think I can put sound absorbing panels in the whole back wall behind the era 300 since sound doesn’t need to bounce back having back speakers. Also the front wall behind the Arc doesn’t need to reflect sound. Does anyone have experience or can share some advice?Cheers.

I have 2 soundbar (Beam and ARC) when connect it to the TV direct through the HDMI eARC, it work fine and can control the volume through the TV remote.  But when connect any HDMI inputs to TV like setupbox or PS5. the TV convert the sound automatic to TV speakers and I can’t able to use the sonos soundbar.  

Hi, I am new to the community however not new tot Sonos. This week I have set up my Sonos player and a Sonos connect amp als a surround system and it works. However if I remove the network cables the surround cables stop. Is there a way to get the system up and running without the networkcable? Am I correct to think that my subwoofer out, that worked fine when not in a surround set up, is disabled once I have set up the surround modus on the connect amp? I am thinking about getting 2 play one speakers to replace the connect amp and speakers in the surround, Will they both need network cables?Thanks community for any answers David 

Using passive speakers that are NOT purchased from Sonos as surround speakers connected via AMP to a Arc Ultra - Will True Play optimize the passive surrounds?Thank you,-PH

I have very recently added a Sonos Beam gen2 to my Sonos setup - I also have a Sub and two Ones which i’ve had for years and have been very happy with.My problem is that the Beam keeps dropping / glitching audio whilst watching TV - it’s not a complete dropout, but very noticeable particularly on louder sections. It happens regularly every 5-10 minutes or so, but if I rewind what I’m watching it never happens at the same point in the program.I was previously using a Sony Blu-ray/home cinema system with the same Panasonic TV and that never demonstrated this problem.The other relevant info is that the Sonos will not work with the HDMI-ARC output on my TV - I’ve had to use the optical HDMI adaptor. (and I know the TV ARC output works as that’s how I’ve been using my Sony system for many years)It happens regularly enough that I’m thinking of returning the Beam whilst in the returns window.TV is Panasonic Viera 58DX750   

I currently have an arc, sub gen 3 and 2 era 300’sis there a step by step procedure for replacing the arc with an arc ultra?I seem to be blinded by science with all I’ve read concerning resetting the system, disabling speakers etc. etc.surely it’s more straightforward?Thanks

Stupid question perhaps..when using the Arc Ulra Bluetooth function would you be able to pair it with a pair of Bluetooth headphones and use this feature rather like the swop function if using Sonos Ace headphones I don’t possess Sonos Ace but Bower and WilkinsThank you 👍

So I’ve had my system (Arc, Era300 x2 + Gen3 sub) for a year now - thinking if I spend £2.5k on a system, it’s gonna be good right?My old Polk system for circa £600 was much better - I mean it had a remote control right? and audio and optical inputs - amazing! Oh, and Google assistant, that actually worked properly. And I could tune the speakers with actual volume buttons, to suit me! I mean, we don’t ask much right - lol.My buggest gripe with the Sonos Arc system is the awful dialogue enhancement - which does nothing. On the Polk system, I have a separeate volume to turn the human dialogue up and down to suit me.Sonos Arc system is just such a step backwards is SOOOO many ways.Anyway, the sound signal from the TV comes from optical out, with the HMDI converter.QUESTIONS:___Do I spend another £1200 +/- to upgrade the TV, so I can use the eARC output?Will this improve human dialogue?Or do I ditch the Sonos system, to one that actually works properly?Thanks,A very disappointed Sonos owne

Hello,I recently purshased used Sonos system (Port, Arc, Sub and  2 x One SL), I was able to Factory Reset the port and installing it throw the Sonos mobile app in my iPhone.But when I started pairing the other devices (Arc, Sub and  2 x One SL) the app detects the devices and start the setup but after few seconds I get the following message “Your mobile device couldn't connect to your Sub. Make sure the Sub is connected to power.” So I click continue and I get this: Knowing that all my devices are connected to same Network and Router and I tried to restart my router and powering up device by device with factory reset and everyting.Any help please?

With just the bar, I’m noticing a consistent issue with dialogue being too quiet at lower volumes. For example, in Dune, when Zendaya’s character speaks in the opening scene, her voice is almost drowned out unless I crank the volume up. But when I do that, the rest of the sounds become way too loud for my room. At a comfortable level, the scene with Paul & Jessica at the beginning of the movie is inaudible. Similarly, in Gravity, I had to raise the volume significantly to make the voices, especially distant ones like when George Clooney is floating around in the beginning, clear enough to hear, but then the other sounds became overwhelming. Watching The Dark Knight Rises, the dialogue volume discrepancy is worse than with my TV speakers. For comparison, my Bose Ultra soundbar doesn’t have this problem. All reviews and user comments are saying the dialogue on the Arc Ultra is much improved and in some cases overwhelming but I don’t really see this being the case even with the Speech

Can I add 4 surround speakers 

Hi,Running dual subs (one Gen 3 and one Gen 4), and noticed in the app it gives me only one control for both subs.  Meaning…..the crossover setting is there only once, and the phase setting is there only once. So...why wouldnt I be given the ability to set crossovers differently?  and are both subs phased the same?  wouldnt you want to have the phased opposite for best impact? I am no expert, and am open to all feedback. Thinking I might add a second AMP so I can control my second sub the way I want.  Does that make sense? TIA Moderator edit: Changed “One Gen 3 and one Sub 4” to “one Gen 3 and one Gen 4” for clarity.
