HelloI bought an ARC and a SUB one year ago. For 6 months the pair of them sounded amazing.  It could be a coincidence, but 6 months ago I updated my broadband deal and got a new router. Since then the sound from the ARC and SUB have deteriorated. Previously I had to have the SUB volume set below 0 because the bass was too powerful. When watching a film on Netflix the wardrobe doors used to rattle due to the power. Since the change of router, I can turn the SUB to maximum volume with no real change. When placing my hand inside the SUB I can feel that it’s working, but the sound is terrible to what it used to be.  I have had both the SUB and the ARC replaced by the store they were bought from. The sound is still the same. Not great. I have phoned SONOS support on many occasions and they can’t find any faults when I’ve submitted diagnostics. Their advice is that it could be a software issue and I should wait for a software update. I was told this in July and on Thursday (24/10/24). I’ve

I want an setup with AMP connected to my projector(HDMI arc), and then connect wireless to front speakers and back speakers( FIVE or ERA).Is this possible, will there be an delay with the picture and sound?

One of my Sonos play ones was flashing green and when I reset it now it’s in another group and I can’t get my surroundsound in the same group. Now after screwing around with it, I can’t even get it to work like it used to with my TV and everything else, how do I Get it back to where it was without deleting everything. 

I want to play on my mobile and connect it to beam 2. Is this possible?

When I got to my Sonos app and try to activate speech enhancement it will not allow me to do so, the icon won’t even activate.I run Apple TV with my Arc, two play 1’s, and a sub.  It worked before but now it’s not even a option to turn on.

Yesterday I upgraded to IOS 80.09.09 + executed the speaker update in S2.For years I have 2 sets of speakers grouped and connected to the TV set. Set 1 with 1x playbar, 1x sub, 2x play 1 in livingroom + set 2 with 2x play 3 in diningroomafter the upgrade to 80,09,09 the audio on the TV is severely distorting when the 2 sets are grouped together.when I deselect set 2 out of the grouping, the audio on the TV works fine.when playing music the grouping of the 2 sets works fine too.Question: what may cause this issue?Appreciate your feedback  

If i pair the two play 1 i have with a sub mini will i get to play using airplay 

I have 2 1SL speakers for rear, a Sub (gen3) and a Beam (gen1) connected to my TV via the panasonic HDMI port 2 (as per the manual).  I can get Dolby Digital 5.1 showing on the S2 app when playing through the TV apps (Netflix, Prime, etc) and also from 5.1 sources from my NAS but not from any other source connected to the TV.  Tried Netflix through my Virgin box app and 2.0, same program via TV app on Netflix 5.1DD.  How should i connect the Sonos setup to my TV to enable other sources such as Virgin box, blu-ray player, etc to also pass the 5.1 sound to the Sonos setup, thanks in advance 

The Playbase is blocked and won't turn on.Therefore it must be unplugged. When I plug it back in, it does not turn back on at all. I noticed that it blocks following a shock.1st time: a very loud explosion sound in a movie2nd time: a little screw dropped on it3rd time: the plug of an alimentation cable droped on it. So, i have tested something : a small deliberate shock and right after that, it turns back on. Why ?

I have Philips TV 58PUS8545/12 and Beam Gen 2 which are connected via HDMI ARC. HDMI CEC is enabled and I’m able to control volume level on Beam using my TV Remote.However, when changing volume, I don’t have any indication on my Philips TV Screen. Neither sometning is changing nor volume level. Tried with standard procedures, power-off - power-on, using different HDI ports/cables, etc. Is there any workaround how to see it?

I am using the Arc, 2 subs with 2 Era 300. Using Apple Music as recommended by Sonos. When playing ATMOS content I get a better special experience compared with my Sonos One’s which is expected.Era 300 is not doing a good job in my opinion when playing stereo content and I figured out that Sonos disables the front firing driver when the Era 300 is setup as rear surround sound. Why? I pay for all speakers and have not even an option to turn the front driver on :-(.  It would be better to give user an option and similar to the heigh volume adding a front volume and control the volume. Any help is appreciated.

My playbar and sub continually lose connection- it has nothing to do with the network - I can manually control the volume but I’m tired of factory resetting 

Hello everyone, new to Sonos and having some issues with mt new Sony Bravia 7 and Sonos Beam.I can only intermittently get it to work via the Bravia Sync system. Normally for it to work I have to complete a full power off cycle then reconnect. After a short time it drops out again and nothing at all shows on the Bravia Sync connected devices. This includes my Sky TV, Fire Cube as well as my PS5. I can still switch to them via the output button but my sound very rarely works and when it does I can't control the volume with my Sony remote, only the Sonos App.Sony have offered ZERO help, only stating they can't guarantee the compatibility of Bravia Sync with 3rd party products 😡.Apologies for the length of this but I'm stumped 😥

Connected my 2016 player, base and 2 play one speakers to a new Sony Bravia 8 tv. Worked great for 30 minutes then when I adjusted the volume down using the phone app sound became a choppy clucking noise. 

Recently the sound on the Apple TV cuts out, but only music and background sounds, in movies/series. Works ok if setting the sound to Stereo on ATV. I have a set-up with ATV 4K, Arc, Sub (gen3), Amp (connected to in-ceiling Bose speakers). It’s not all shows or movies that have this issue. Netflix works ok. Appe TV+ not. How can I fix this?

How does one Connect a DVD player to Sonos Beam 2. currently the DVD players connected to the TV. I would like to paly my music CD’s and hear the music on Sonos beam 2.Also in case I am watching a movie can I redirect the audio to Sonos Beam 2 Regards,Pat

I currently have a Sonos Arc, Roam, and a Boost - all of which worked seamlessly and consistently priori to the big app update last summer.The Arc has become particularly unreliable, and I’m hoping that this community may have a process to put it through which will resolve my issues.Note, I have troubleshot with Sonos team members and removed, and re-added the Arc multiple times.Sometimes, the Arc will simply not appear in my system. seems to be random, and resolve itself randomly as well Songs will stop playing from the Arc, but also when also playing from both the Arc and the Roam - however when playing the Roam alone, it never suffers from these issues The assistant listening mode will happen without anyone saying the hot word prompt. I’ve even disabled the mic in hopes to resolve this issue, but the listening mode still happensLots of issues here - could all be related or just individual items to resolve.

Hi,I have a Sonos system since 2010 and I have friends who asked me to recommend them an audio system and a TV sound bar.  They bought an Arc, Sub mini, Play 5 and one Era 100.  I have ripped all their CD collection and it works well.  They group all their speakers including the Arc and Sub mini when listening to music and when they turn on the TV, the ARC automatically starts playing the TV audio and the ARC drops off the group playing the music.  This works well, but it would be even better if the Arc software could detect when the TV is turned off and reconnects to the group it was originally part of.  This was previously asked 3 years ago on the forums by somebody else.  Maybe it could be an addition to the new software?  Is there an easy way to regroup the ARC to the original group if this cannot be done automatically? I am still on S1 with my personal setup, so I am not familiar with the new options available… Thanks 

I’ve experienced something strange with my sub and arc speakers recently. Whilst watching TV, a loud cracking sound is emitted from my Sonos speaker, one that resembles a loose connection in a conventional speaker. If first happened with my sub two days ago then again today but on the arc. My speakers are wired using WiFi except for the arc which has an Ethernet cable. I’ve recently moved houses and thus had to redo my network connection. The shift seemed seamless and I was able to connect the tv and speakers without much of a problem. Has anyone experienced the same? 

I am no longer getting audio from my One SL surrounds or our Sub. All audio from the TV comes through the Arc only. Oddly, streaming music directly to the Living Room setup plays audio through all devices. Same with using our Port to play records. Everything works. It’s just TV audio that will not play through the 3.1 system. This only started recently. Nothing about our setup has changed. Everything is connected to the same network. Everything shows as connected in the Sonos app. Any ideas?

Why will my Ray not connect to my network.  It shows Not Registered in my app, I go to register, go through the set up but it fails to connect to my network every time. 

I have a Sonos Beam , 2 Play 1s and a mini sub in my living room . When turning on the TV the Beam works fine but the two Play speakers and the mini sub don’t put out any sound. They show as connected on the app and are all on the same strong signal wifi network . I have to disconnect the whole setup from the mains and power back on for them to start working . This is obviously not ideal . I’m at a loss as this has been happening for several months , but wasn’t an issue when the system was put in three years ago,I have an Arc system with two Play 5’s and a mini sub in the cinema room that works absolutely fine , none of the same issues . Samsung TV is connected to the beam via  HDMI eArc Any suggestions ?

I setup my era 100 speakers as surround speakers with my arc bar. After setup, neither speaker has sound coming out of them.  any solutions or tips?

Hi. I have an LG 65" TV with eARC, a sonos arc soundbar, and a PS5. I have played some UHD Blu-ray movies (Logan, Thor Ragnarok), which are supposed to be Dolby Atmos, but only PCM is showing in the app. I have Dolby Atmos as preferred sound on PS5. What am I missing?Thanks for the help and support. Manny

Yesterday I  downloaded Macbook 15.0.1 to my macbook and now the sonos sound bar cannot be connectd to tv output.  Any ides,  It was fine before downloading this latest version.
