Home theater

I know that this has been a pretty hot topic when LG rolled out their major update.   Been looking around on different chats and groups and it seems like there is no true fix on this issue.  Unless i use LG’s native apps and forgo my appletv 4k.  Has anyone else find any fixes to this issue?  Thanks. 

I have two Era 100’s, considering adding a mini sub and Beam.Currently the Era’s are to the side of the sofa that faces the TV. I can establish one Era to the left and behind the sofa but unable to place the second Era on the right side of the sofa, thus restricted to the side placement.If I opt for the Beam, my ability to fully utilize the full system for “theatre sound” is pretty much out of the question I assume.  Would there be any benefit at all in getting the Beam and sub to try and use with the Era’sApologies for poorly detailed question! 

HD and 4k video streaming of live music is becoming standard across many platforms (Nugs.net, LivePhish, etc) and leveraging ERA 300s (or similar) forward facing tweeters should be made available to allow users to take advantage of their full potential. Current setup: Arc soundbar, Sub, Era 300s as surround pairIdeal set ups for various use-cases:TV and video: current configuration with Atmos style surround, where side and upward facing speakers are utilized on the Era 300s and the forward facing speakers are disabledAudio Music via various apps: Arc, Sub, and Era 300s with all speakers firing, especially if audio being streamed isn’t AtmosMusic video streaming: Arc, Sub, and Era 300s with all speakers firing   Potential implementation options (obviously knowing nothing about the code base and difficulties associated with each option...):Room specific profiles allowing various combinations of speakers to be used depending the content being consumed A toggle specific to the surrounds th

Hi I own Beam 2 a pair of Era 100 configured as Surround. If I listen to music from IPad or IPhone or even from Sonos app the music comes out of both the beam 2 and the speakers. If I do the same with my Apple TV 4K I hear the sound come out only from Beam 2 and the surround channels emit almost nothing or very low. While movies have no problems… Why doesn’t the Apple TV make the audio sound like the iPad in Bluetooth? Thanks. Andrea.

will my sonos Ray work with my Digital Audiio Output port on my Mitsubishi Wd-65737 TV if I buy a converter to optical.

My sonos Arc does not connect to wifi anymore. I have try to reset my router many time . And it’s impossible to factory reset my Arc exept if i plug it into the ethernet port .When i try to factory reset the arc wireless ( no ethernet cable ) the light blinking amber and and came solid white but never came blinking green ( pairing mode ) but when i plug the ethernet cable everything is fine.

Until recently when I turned on my TV the Sonos Ray would be muted by default. Now it remembers the last volume setting.How do I set it back to be muted when I switch my TV on?

Hi,I’ve just replaced a couple of old Sonos devices in our house which means I can now use the S2 app. I also have a Beam connected to two Play:1s as surrounds.I’ve managed to get them all set up OK on the S2 app, but when I go into the “surround audio” options, all I see is a “Surround distance” with a “reset” button. So I can’t set the music audio to “full” for the Play1:s.Any ideas why I can’t see the usual surround audio options? Thanks!

I have an LG Oled TV with a Humax Freesat box, Sonos Gen 2 playbar, sub & 2 surrounds, this last week, I have had to turn the Humax sound virtually full power to get a decent sound, the TV itself & any music apps I use are fine are still fine, the sound bar on my mobile through Sonos app is on 95 when I turn the remote up for the Humax. I have turned off & taken plugs out for all, but is making no difference, also I unplugged the cables on the back of the Humax box to see if that would help.

Over the past couple of months the lowest volume isn’t the lowest. What I mean is, in the past, i could go from 0 to 1 and it was fine. Now if I go down to 0 and then bump up the volume just one time on the Beam it shows 4 or 5 on the app. If I manually toggle in the app to 1, 2, or 3, there is no sound till i get to 4 or 5. Is anyone else having this issue? Has there been a fix yet?

I thought upgrading to the Beam Gen 2 would allow me to change the audit output on my Samsung to Dolby Digital+ for Atmos, but it’s still greyed out. Anybody have any solution?

HiHave just tried to reconfigure my SONOS setup after the app upgrade (on iphone).  I’m having a major issue with adding my Play:1s which I have been using in a surround sound config with sub and playbar.  I have done factory reset a few times, the app seems to find the Play:1s ok but when I go into set up, the speakers are nowhere to be found and I have to go through the whole process again, to achieve the same result ie no Play:1s are found.  What have I missed? Playbar and sub are fine - had no issues before the upgrade. Thanks

I’ve been having a pretty frustrating time trying to set up my Sonos system these past few weeks. It works for a bit and then things seem to disconnect and I end up having to reset everything and go through the entire drawn out setup process again and again. I have a Sonos Arc Sl, a pair of 100’s and a sub Gen 2. I know the arc set up isn’t designed for projectors but when it works it’s amazing. My projector has a eARC port but for whatever reason my Sonos arc won’t recognize it and fails to output Dolby Atmos. After buying a new highspeed hdmi cable and trying other things to fix the issue I decided to just bit the bullet and buy an HD Fury Arcana to resolve it. After installing the Arcana the everything was working for a few days, I was able to get Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision and my Apple TV remote was able to control volume of the arc. Yesterday the system decided stop letting my Siri Remote control volume of the system. I tried messing around with a few setting and some quick rese

New home addition completed. I have a mounted TV, connected to a Sonos Amp behind it (in the wall) and it’s connected to 2 in-ceiling NON-Sonos speakers on either side of TV.I am playing music through the speakers and at other times TV through speakers. It’s a large room though, and if I want to have MUSIC extend to opposite side of room without cranking volume, I assume I can add other Sonos speakers (Era 100) to opposite side of room. Can I use same speakers in a surround-sound setup for when watching TV?  Will they function as surround sound even though front speakers are not Sonos (but are connected to Amp)? Can I use Truplay to set up?  thank you.

My Sonos set up (Arc, Sub, several One speakers) always appear as temporary audio output - see Family Room. How can I make them default? I have to update this setting every single time I turn my TV on :(My Apple TV is HD 4th Generation, if that matters.Thank you!   

Anyone else able to get the Sonos app to show Dolby Atmos while streaming on Prime Video? I always get PCM 5.1, don’t have this issue on any other streaming service. 

Hi I will arrive tomorrow the sub Mini. I have Beam 2 and a pair of Era 100 setting as sorround.once I connect the mini sub do I have to redo the trueplay or can I leave the one I did 5 days ago when I activated the Era 100?Thanks. Andrea

Buenas tardes. Es normal que la Sonos Arc, al rato de ver una película, se desconecte de la TV, y se oiga la TV por los altavoces internos? La TV es una LG (Oled 55CX6LA).La conexión de la Arc a la TV es por HDMI 2 (Arc), cable HDMI HD 8K. Moderator edit:Google Translate- Good afternoon. Is it normal that the Sonos Arc, after watching a movie, disconnects from the TV, and the TV can be heard through the internal speakers? The TV is an LG (Oled 55CX6LA).The connection of the Arc to the TV is via HDMI 2 (Arc), HDMI HD 8K cable.

Hi All  After much frustration with the ‘buggy’ SONOS software on my iPad, I eventually got the Ace & Arc functionality working. While playing Dolby Atmos music tracks from Apple Music or Tidal, the max volume is too low to be useful. Movie soundtracks are louder but I would also like to be able to turn up the volume much more. When the SWAP takes place the volume on the Arc is disabled and I have turned up the volume in the SONOS app to the max so not sure if If there is anything else I can do to increase it

I am trying to connect a 2024 Samsung 65” DU7100 Crystal UHD 4K HDR Smart TV, model number UE65DU7100KXXU to a SONOS Playbar.The issue is the TV only has audio out via HDMI (ARC) but the SONOS Playbar only accepts sound in via an optical cable.I assume I need a converter. However there are numerous options on Amazon or similar.Can anyone recommend one that they use in same circumstances and definitely works ?Thanks in anticipation.

Hello Sonos:I was thinking of buying a Sonos Beam Gen 2 and two ES 100 to use as a home cinema. However, I have found that these have a serious problemIn order to calibrate the sound and make it sound as it should, you need to use the TruePlay setting. The problem is that I don't have access to a compatible ios device to do this and I don't know anyone who has one either.I don't know to what extent it is worth getting this system, although people say that without TruePlay it is not worth itDepending on an ios device to do it is actually quite limitingProbably the best thing would be to get some portable device that is not too expensive with a microphone to be able to use it and thus calibrate the home cinemaI don't know what people here think, but I personally don't dare spend what the equipment is worth and then not be able to get the most out of it.It is something that should be fixed in the futureWhat do you people here think?Is the Sonos Beam worth it with the rear speakers without
