Home theater

I have changed nothing, have always been able to control volume on arc ultra through my nvidia shield remote and tv remote now after update i can only adjust it from the app when I use the other remotes I get the white light like usual on the soundbar but nothing changes, I hope this bug or issue gets solved quickly as it's annoying to go into the app everytime especially when youtube has a different volume than everything else and I have to adjust a lot

Hi guys. This isn’t a query regarding the arc ultra as such but I’m wondering if anyone is playing MKV files from Infuse Pro. I can get audio via airplay from my MacBook Pro to my Sony Bravia tv/arc ultra but it’s not Atmos. Video will not play at all. I’m obviously missing something (apart from the knowledge what to do) but it’s getting increasingly frustrating. Without getting too technical (as I won’t have a clue) has anyone had similar experiences and/or solutions. Many thanks. 

I have a Sony Bravia 8. At first my tv remote was syncing with the Sonos Arc Ultra, but now it is not.  

I bought a new tv, Samsung the Fram Pro 2025, and connected it to my Beam 2 using eARC. I also have a Connect:Amp in my system that connects my back speakers to the system plus a Sonos Mini sub. I can´t get Atmos whatever I play on the TV. In the Sonos app I only get Dolby Digital 5.1.  I use the HDMI-cable that came with the Beam 2 and it is connected to the eARC-port on the wireless one connect box.  I have tried Netflix with a Premium account, a Prime and a HBO account and no Atmos. Any ideas what I can do to get it to work?

Hi, hopefully you can help me out here. I was able to connect my Arc, 2 Era 300s and the sub 3 in my network having 2.4ghz with WPA/WPA2 authentication as it is the bare minimum requirement. First step was connect my sub to a room, which is with my Arc. after connecting, it says that the Product is not connected. which is weird.I tried to setup the surround with my 2 Era speakers and Arc, still ended up with the same error message on both Era speakers. I have also added their IP & MAC adresses as dedicated devices under the DHCP list and still got the same error messages and result of not having all of them turned on.. except for the Arc itself.  Basically I did the LAN cable thing and yes it worked but I cannot affort to have my cable running across the floor as it was only a test. I rang up the support which they said its a DHCP issue, which I never had before after their upgrade of my sonos products recently.  

I’m a very satisfied user of Sonos, having a surround system with a Beam and two Era 100, plus two other Era 100 in other rooms. BUT… there is one thing that annoys me very much with the TV surround setting. There is no way to choose for a setting where the sound would come out in the same way from all the speakers. This means that when you look at TV shows, sometimes the sound comes only out of the front center Beam speaker when there is mainly speech, and then all of a sudden there is some background music in the show and then only it comes out of the rear Era speakers. Even worse when I listen to a music concert on TV, the speech (singing) comes only from the front center speaker (with some music) and only music is coming out of the rear speakers. Sorry but for me this is very disturbing and not at all the right music experience. So my simple question is to Sonos: just foresee a setting for TV sound where the sound comes out of all speakers unprocessed or unfiltered in the same way

Hi allehat settings on the equaliser would you normally have?currently treble is +9 and bass -3 I know it’s personal preference but is there a rough guide for tv, music fiilms etc please 

Roku tv remote will not charge volume on my RAY soundbar 

I have a complicated issue. I have a 65” Samsung TV that is connected to my Sonos whole-house audio system via ethernet and a BINARY B-260-ARC adapter. When connected via HDMI eARC port to the Binary component, the resulting sound cuts out every 2-3 seconds. (Sound works fine when using TV speakers or when connected directly to a soundbar.) I have replaced all connected components and cables. Samsung has verified that TV is working properly. One tech told me that Samsung has a known defect that often causes intermittent issues with Sonos (unverified). Any thoughts on how to overcome this problem?

I have a Sonos Arc system, two Era300s, and a Gen3 subwoofer. I'd like to have a button within the surround sound speaker options that allows me to set it to full surround sound mode for TV sources when they're PCM stereo 2.0. Just like with music, this is disabled if it detects a 5.1 source, Atmos, etc. This way, we could play any YouTube content or Spotify music on the TV in full surround sound. It would just need to be added to the Sonos app, and users could enable it. Disabled, it would work the same as it does now.Thanks!

I currently own the first generation sonos arc and sub 1 paired with two(2) SL ones.I am planning on replacing the SL ones with a pair Eras 300 and add a sub 4 to use a dual sub, will this be possible.

I wanted to gauge from the community as to whether or not people are experiencing bad sound quality through their arc ultra speakers as I have had two units and both have produced a slightly distorted/fuzzy sound specifically from the right side of the speaker. I don’t know if it’s bad luck or not but wanted to check with others to see if they’re also experiencing this and what they did to fix it? My arc ultra is connected to my Samsung tv through the eARC port with the cable provided and use my Apple TV 4K Gen 1 to watch content. The fuzzy noise is present when watching any kind of media through the Apple TV as well as when I’m streaming music through the Sonos app and even when adding the product to my system through the chime it plays as well as during the trueplay tuning. I have even changed the settings on the Samsung tv such that sound is output via pass through rather than automaticAny help would be much appreciated, I will try get the product replaced but wanted to see if this

Recent upgrade sony bravia 9. Sound out put in sonos app always show dolby multichannel 2.0 or 5.1 . Earlier sony 950G, i used to see dolby atmos if dolby content played. Is this expected ? Any thoughts plsSorry abt mispelled titleSONY BRAVIA 9

Seemingly 9 years later….I set up my Beam, Era 300’s, and 3 Plays.  Is there a way to group all of those together? My TV remote only controls volume for the beam group. I do not see a way to add the Play’s to the beam/300 group.  I see the same comments from 9 years ago. With responses that are a bit alarming. Paraphrasing, “Sonos usually takes a significant amount of time to update things in their system if there are a plethora of requests. This is not something that many request.”Interesting.My response to that thought. Not many typically want excellence if it costs them three to five times the average amount of money.  If there is no easy way to control the volume on my system with a TV remote, am I not living in the 80’s with several remotes in front of me? A good point is when the phone rings and I merely want to mute or lower the volume. In today’s world this happens to most of us often.  Why is it I cannot group my speakers in custom groups any way I see fit and control the grou

I’m raising this issue yet again.   I can confirm that that Sonos Arc Ultra displays the same issue with the very latest LG C5 TV.   So this problem is not confined to some older TV’s or some small subset of manufacturers.  Sonos seems to be intent on completely refusing and ignoring the problem.  This is a bug.  When is Sonos planning to fix this? Once you have Sonos Arc connected through HDMI ARC connection, you can no longer use built-in TV menu to route the sound to whatever output you want - be it internal TV speakers, headphones connected to TV or anything else.  After a few seconds the sound is again routed to Sonos.  I have previously confirmed on Samsung TV, that this was not a problem with the Samsung soundbar or Sennheiser sound bar.I already raised it previously reporting it for other TV model and it was closed: Also found similar issues reported here:https://en.community.sonos.com/home-theater-229129/conflict-between-arc-and-bluetooth-headphones-6890718https://en.community

Please please please add the ability to schedule night mode and enhanced speech mode on my Sonos. This request has been made so many times I can't believe Sonos has not implemented this yet.  If this is too hard to build into your app then please build a native integration with Slmartthings that allows me to set a routine to do the same. 

Hi thereNo doubt a similar question has been asked before, but I can’t find the exact scenario so I would be grateful for any input.I currently have a Samsung 85” frame TV which is connected to a Sonos amp (using HDMI).  This is powering two in-wall speakers which are at the front either side of the TV.  I wanted to create a surround sound/home theater setup, so a smart home guy I know said to buy a sub and two Era 300 speakers.  However, having messed around with it you can’t seem to do Sonos surround sound unless you have a Ray, Beam or Arc.If I used grouping to group the amp and two speakers together, you get an echo/delay with the audio which is not nice and I think, having gone on this journey, is to be expected.So the question is without completely writing off my amp and in-wall speakers is there any way to create a surround sound/home theater setup using Sonos?  I could buy a Ray, Beam or Arc but then I’ve read you can’t have that doing your front speakers as well as the amp pow

Arc Ultra -adding 2 Era100 as surrounds.  Added to system no problem.  Select setup surrounds - seems to work but when finished  the 2 ‘100s show as ‘not connected”if I remove the surrounds they don’t come back into the system and I have to restore and add to system.   is this normal? Surrounds are not available for music and only for television maybe ??Router is a sophos and part of my work from home system.  Maintained by my IT guys and not something easily configured.   

Hello fellow Sonos people,I am considering purchase of Sonos Arc Ultra and the Ultra Wall Mount.  The plan will be to wall mount the Arc below the TV say 2 - 4”.   I am in process of building new home and planning with the builder/electrician for power and cabling but ran into a snag so need help. Anyone have suggestions on what I can share with the electrician on suitable wall mounting such that both power and HDMI are concealed from view?  The electrician was suggesting standard size wall plate with pass through brush, fishing cables after drywall or install power outlet plate and separate pass through brush plate flush with drywall.  My concern is the Arc Ultra profile is so thin at 3” that a standard wall plate, even rotated horizontally, will still be visible and unsightly on the living room wall.  Not to mention flush with wall there is no space in back for power (the HDMI cable could sneak through the brush plate but standard plates again are oversized compared to Arc Ultra).  I

I have a new ARC Ultra and a new Sony Bravia XR8C TV.  There are no other HDMI devices connected to the TV, only the ARC ultra which is connected to the ARC input (HDMI 3).  CEC (Sony Bravia Sync) is turned on and working on the TV and Sonos ARC Ultra is listed in the Bravia Sync devices list.  Both the TV and the ARC Ultra are updated to the latest software.  Both the TV and the ARC Ultra have a hard wired network connection.  In the Sonos App, TV Autoplay and Ungroup on Autoplay are turned on.  The only other Sonos in the system is a Sonos Beam connected to the Master Bedroom  which is working good.  The problem is with the Sonos ARC Ultra.  It works fine for playing music.  If I have been watching TV and turn it off, when I turn it back later, I have no sound.  If I go into the App, it says TV (HDMI) is what is selected for the ARC but there is no sound.  The only way I have found to make it work is select Music then change back to TV in the App; after that the TV sound is fine.  I

Hello,juste upgrade to last update sonos arc ultra, bass cut in e half, its already + 4, music its flat i don’t like how it sound!Thank youNetBlue

My installer says I won’t get surround sound with my setup of Arc Ultra, the newest Amp just purchased, and two surround ceiling speakers. He claims I will only get sound through the ceiling speakers. Any insight?

I have a Sony AF8 TV, a Sonos Arc soundbar, and I use an Apple TV as my only source.The issue is not the soundbar, but the audio handling of the Sony AF8.When I start or switch apps on the Apple TV (Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, etc.), the TV often loses the HDMI ARC audio connection.This leads to problems like:no sound when an app starts sound randomly disappearing sound coming only from the TV speakers audio sometimes coming back after returning to the Apple TV home screen frequent audio / format info pop-ups on the TV Video is always fine, but the audio connection over ARC is unstable.The Sony AF8 seems to struggle with modern Apple TV audio formats (LPCM, multichannel PCM, Dolby Atmos over DD+/MAT) when passing them through ARC to the Sonos Arc.In short:The ARC implementation on the Sony AF8 is unreliable with Apple TV → Sony AF8 → Sonos Arc.The TV works as a display, but fails as a stable audio hub. What I already tried to mitigate the issue:Forcing Dolby Digital 5.1 instead of a
