LG OLED C1 + Sonos Beam

Hi everyone.I have an issue each time when I turn on my TV, because I lost the sound. The Sonos beam is connected to HDMI 2 (eARC/ARC) port, however It seems the TV doesn’t recognize the system. Simplelink on the TV is On and in the Sonos app TV Autoplay is On.The only way to solve this problem now is activate eARC compatibility, TV automatically move audio settings to internal speakers, and then I need to change again audio settings to HDMI and deactivate eARC compatibility in order to beam works.Its important to say the sonos app doesn’t recognize that beam is connected to an HDMI ARC port.Have anyone the same problem and found a solution?

New Arc Sound bar release date??

Does anyone have any info on when the new sound bar is coming out? I’m sure Sonos hasn’t said anything official, just hoping for some decent speculation. Remodeling the crib and I need to make a move purchase soon.

era 300 center driver

I’m new to the family of Sonos, and I went all out much to my wife’s dismay lol Bur the dismay quickly turned to be mine when I discovered that I can’t use the center driver when listening to music. I don’t watch TV, and this purchase was exclusively for music.I feel like it should have been made clear to music only users that the center drivers won’t work. I didn’t see that anywhere when I first started looking in to buying them. im finding it so hard to wrap my head around that we, the buyer and user - are not given the freedom to choose if we want to use the center driver for music! this feels very controlling and is not fair to us lovers.  I see many topics have been made about this issue, but all of them have been closed, this sucks :(

Sonos Beam grouped w/ 2 Sonos Play:1s gives surround sound for music, but not TV

I have a Sonos Beam Gen 1 that I bonded via the Sonos app with a pair of Sonos Play:1s positioned at the back of the room for surround sound. When I stream music from any source, the 3 speakers function as a surround set, as they should. But when I play sound from my Samsung TV, it only goes to the Beam (via HDMI eARC), as if the pair of Sonos Play:1s didn’t exist. Can someone advise how to get the TV sound to play through not only the Beam, but also the Sonos Play:1s that are grouped with it?

Network Matrix OFDM ANI level: 9

Found the Network Matrix just recently; looking first time last night everything was green except the Beam (LF, RF).  Checking it just now the Sub and the surrounds (LR, RR) have also gone red.  All in line of sight of the main mesh router.Anyone make heads or tails of this?

Does anyone know if the Samsung UN43NU6900B 42 inch tv is compatible for this Sonos beam soundbar attachment that goes directly under the tv and is moveable with the tv? And if not, what would support Beam attachment on Samsung tv?

Arc volume increasing and decreasing on its own

I have the Sonos Arc as part of my surround set-up.  Lately the volume will either mute or shoot up to maximum volume on its own.  There is a bleep which proceeds this.  Sonos customer service is no help, all they say is unplug it for a few minutes and then plug it back in.  For a nearly £1000 sound bar I am really not happy!
