Can I use a pair of Fives as surrounds with my Arc? Does anyone have that setup? Will it be better than using 2 Ones? thanks

Can I use a AT-LP60XBT with a Sonos Beam + Sonos One SL sound system?

I’m looking to purchase a wireless record player that can connect to my living room audio system. I have 2 Sonos One SL’s and 1 Sonos Beam. Would the AT-LP60XBT connect to this system via Bluetooth? If not is there a wireless record player I could get that would? Thanks for the help! Take care.

loss of tv icon on the Sonos app

Under the music note on the Sonos app I lost the TV icon which had immediately synchronized the TV audio with the Sonos speakers.  Now apparently I have to turn off the TV speakers before  the Sonos takes over. Is there anyway to get the TV icon back on the Sonos app under the music note?

New to Sonos, set up the arc as per instructions, everything seemed to be working, using my remote to turn volume up and down, logged into the app everything seemed ok , until I try and adjust the EQ or height, or night time control and the voice enhancement none of these work. I'm running the correct WiFi networks mobile and arc connected to the same network. I'm using a xomi tv box. Please help. I'm in Norway.

Receiver output + Optical adapter + Sonos Arc = Success?

If I take my Pioneer VSX-21 Elite Optical output, to the Sonos optical adapter, to arc adapter and plug into the sonos arc soundbar I should be able to switch inputs on my receiver and have that audio stream so i can then pair either a couple of play ones and a sub? Simple question but nobody at Sonos can give an answer.

Sonos Arc audio dropout with Sony TV

I originally bought the Sonos Beam Gen 2, but found it too small for our living room. Returned it in favor of the Sonos Arc. The soundbar is connected to a Sony KD-65XH8096 over HDMI ARC (No eARC on this model).With both soundbars I’ve experienced intermittent audio dropouts. It’s not even a full second. But it’s very noticeable.Doing some googling, it seems this is a fairly common “Sony” problem. To test this, I hooked the Arc to my 32” Samsung Smart display. Samsung did not show any audio dropouts while I tried it, so I’m inclined to believe this is related to my TV and not the soundbar. The Samsung did however send audio as PCM, so there’s a bit of a difference there.Anyone got any tips on how I can be sure the issue is related to my TV and not the soundbar?

SONOS Arc: Loud Random and Bone Chilling Noise

Hello,I have an extensive SONOS system throughout my home and an Arc+2-ones+sub in the living room. The issue first occurred 5-6 weeks ago while an Amazon playlist was playing at a reasonable volume with 4 rooms grouped.It happened again 3-4 weeks ago and it was also on an Amazon Playlist with 4 rooms including arc grouped.  At this point, I assumed that it was a song with an issue.  It was annoying and creepy but I'd eventually be able to find/remove the song from my playlist.It happened again today while listening to an apple Playlist and I know for a fact it was a different song.It took me until today to realize the sound is emanating from the arc(because the sound is so loud it sounds like its coming from everywhere including inside my brain).  For a random period of I'd say is 5-8 seconds, a loud metallic, alien, and haunting sound comes out of the living room sonos which has the arc.  The volume of the sound is inconsistent with the volume of the music that was playing.  The musi

Sonos Arc & Sonos Sub Mini

Hi all, Less than a month back I joined Sonos world and started with Sonos Arc. Last night picked up Sonos Sub Mini.  What’s the best settings you guys would recommend for optimal sound performance. Does the EQ bass decrease,  reduce it for Sub Mini or just the Arc? ? It’s pretty confusing and sonos isn’t responding yet.  Additionally, do you guys prefer putting Sonos Sub Mini near couch or next to TV stand?  Thank you!

Sonos playbar upgrade to Sonos Beam?

Hi All,In my 2nd TV room I have a LG C7 connected to optical to a Sonos playbar (with Sonos 1 “surrounds” and Sonos subwoofer). Obviously had this for many years and now with the advent of lots of streaming material being 5.1, Atmos etc. I’m thinking of upgrading the playbar to a Beam to get the full benefit of 5.1, Atmos etc. The listening area is relatively small ~3m x ~3m (dining area just off kitchen).I working on the assumption that the C7 eARC will output Atmos to the Beam (my C9 in the lounge does) and that the sonos 1 (original) / subwoofer (original) will all work? The speakers currently only work with the S1 app but the Beam is S2 - do I need to worry about that?

set up placement question

I own a Beam, 2 x One’s and a mini-sub. Does anyone have a suggestion regarding using whether to position the One’s on either side of the Beam located in front immediately below the TV vs locating the One’s in back next to the couch as surrounds and using the Beam for all of the front sound projection?thanks n advance!

New Sub (Gen3) causing low end feedback.

Hello Everyone,I recently hooked up my Sub Gen 3 to my Arc/One SL system.  It sounds good but every so often it sounds like there is low end feedback.  It’s a low frequency sound that just sort of takes off on it’s own.  When it happens I change the source and it goes away but when I go back to watching a movie it happens again.  I have tried lowering the sub volume and that helps but doesn’t fix it.Any thoughts at all?Thanks for reading!
