Home theater

I am not able to get my Phonak Virto Hearing Aids with the Phonak Bluetooth TV Connector (HA Streamer) in the Optical Out connection in my LG UN 70 inch 4K Smart UHD TV (LGTV) to stream simultaneously with my SONOS ARC audio system in the LGTV HDMI ARC connection. If I switch to TV Speaker/Optical Out, the HDMI ARC automatically switches back and drops my HA connection almost immediately. Switching off the Smart Link in the LG TV and then switching to TV Speaker/Optical Out is not a solution because I need to simultaneously stream to my Hearing Aids and also use Closed Captioning so that I can understand speech, without blasting the eardrums of others in the room, who can hear normally. Has anyone come up with a solution where we can use the SONOS in HDMI ARC simultaneously with an HA Streamer in Digital Out on the LGTV?Note: I use Android and not IOS.

After months of accepting sound cutting in my Sonos Beam 2 + Samsung Smart TV finally I found today solution by coincidence. I was digging into options and changed only one setting: All Settings/ Sound/ Expert Setting/ HDMI-eARC change to Auto and that’s all.

For those of you who already replaced Sonos One:s with Era 300:s for surround speakers, what is your experience? Was it worth it?

I have a TV with an Arc connected by HDMI, then two wireless speakers, an Era 100 and a Roam. They’re distributed around an open space, so my goal is to hear TV on all three speakers.This works great with non TV, such as Spotify. But for TV audio, the wireless speakers are slightly delayed. It creates a bad sound similar to a school assembly in an echoy gym.I’ve found audio sync features to make it worse, but none to make it better. For example in the Sonos app in settings there’s a Group Audio Delay, which _adds_ delay to the Era and Roam speakers (though doesn't add delay to the wired Arc).I think what this really needs is a TV feature to delay the video, and then for the Sonos speakers to coordinate with each other and stay in sync.I’d like to add a Sub to my system, but since that’s wireless too, I’m worried that it won’t work.What confuses me is that I see you can use wireless speakers like the Era for surround sound. Is the delay in that case

I have my home theater setup downstairs and playbar and other play ones upstairs.   I was wonder if the sub was placed next to the open stairs on first level if that would improve upstairs (everywhere settings) bass without out losing home theater quality.  The sun would be place far right in the 20’ room with The beam and surrounds (center of tv) 10’ away.   thank you.  

Hello.First of all sorry for my english because I’m italian.I try to explain my needs..I have looked at similar questions in pther discussions, but they don’t fit with my needs. I have some sources (XBOX, Computer, phone) which I connect to TV or projector by a switch with two output. The problem is that i can connect this switch to Sonos ARC if I want to hear the sound of these sources, but if I want to hear TV I have to unplug the cable of the switch and connect to Sonos ARC the cable from eARC HDMI of my TV.I have looked for solutions long time and also in this community someone suggested this product:

Are you able to connect blue tooth capable hearing aids to the Sonos system? Arc Sound bar? Era 300’s or gen 3 sub woofer?

Anybody else still dealing with the issue of the volume slider not responding to touch input? Every time I adjust the volume inside the app it takes 3-4 attempts before the slider will acknowledge input and move to the desired level. I commented on a post about this issue a month ago and am curious how many other people still experience it.

Hi,I am just checking how best to connect a Sonos Beam 2 to my TV. The TV is pretty new and has an eARC HDMI port on HDMI 3 which I think I need to connect the Beam 2 to. However I also have a Sky Q Minibox which I am planning to connect to the HMDI 1 port on the TV. I want the audio from the TV apps and also SKY Q to come out through the Sonos Beam 2. Whereabouts would I configure this please? In the TV? In the Sonos Beam 2 on the app?Thank you,Sam

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 co

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 r

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.
