Hi everyone, I am considering getting a Sonos AMP to work with my existing Beam (Gen 2) soundbar and would like to clarify my intended setup.Question 1: Is it possible to connect all of the following to the Sonos AMP?Beam (Gen 2) One passive subwoofer Two passive speakersIf not, is it possible to connect the Sonos AMP with the passive subwoofer and the Beam (Gen 2)?

 Turned on the TV this morning, no sound from Arc. Pressed TV on IOS app and got volume control but still no sound.  Diagnostics sent.  Would like IP:1400/reboot back.  Getting too old to do the hands ‘N’ knees unplug. Some time back this was a common occurrence.  Lately though it’s been better until today.

Soblad ich über meine ARC App Radiomusik z.B. WDR 4/Antenne Bayern oder Dergleichen anhöre, klickt bzw. pfeift die Anlage. Ich vermute es ist die ARC. Sobald Ich etwas anderes höre oder TV sehe nehme ich dieses Geräusch nicht wahr. Was ist dies nun schon wieder?

Hi everyone, First, let me introduce my setup.- Hisense C1 Projector- Apple TV 4K- Sonos Beam Gen 2 - Connected on the HDMI Arc with a 2.1 cable. Since 3 or 4 days i'm experienced some sound delay. Here my experiments : I try only the Projector with Beam, no problem.I try only the Projector’s built-in speaker and Apple TV, no problem.And the full setup Projector, Beam and Apple TV, sound delay close to 1sec after the image appears. I discovered through these 3 tests that only the 5.1 codec was a problem. No sound delay in Stereo or Atmos. (I didn’t try Beam in Airplay but this is not a solution). So i asking please some help cause i’m in a dead end. In case its help, the delay became after i try the Sonos Ace with Beam. Maybe the next 1 or 2 day. Since my tests i remove the Ace from my Beam.

Hi everyone, I’m having trouble with my Sony TV and soundbar setup. The soundbar occasionally stops producing sound when switching between different HDMI sources. Initially, it would only occur when switching from an HDMI source like my gaming console to a streaming app. The problem was temporarily fixed by toggling the TV's sound settings from HDMI to TV speakers and back. However, now the issue persists even when watching content directly from the TV’s internal apps. Sometimes, after an episode finishes, the sound doesn’t come back for the next one, and switching the sound source setting resolves it. I’m using HDMI ARC and passthrough, and have verified that all settings are correct. Despite following suggestions from both Sony and the soundbar manufacturer, including disabling various power-saving options, the issue remains unresolved. Has anyone else encountered this

Sonos Arc soundbar connected to LG HDTV, in use for over two years.  Within the past two months, when I play Spotify via iPhone to the soundbar, TV comes on with still pictures portraying the music (artists, album covers), or some unrelated screen saver pictures.  Prior to ths, TV did not energize, music simply played through the sound bar using Spotify.  I am unaware of any change that I may have made.  Would someone please coach me through What to check?  TIA

Seit einigen Tagen spielt Sonos das Radio zeitversetzt ab, d. h. das Radio sendet Nachrichten ca. 4-5 Min. später. Das irritiert natürlich. Was kann ich tun? Moderator Note - Translation by Google:For a few days now, Sonos has been playing the radio with a time delay, i.e. h. the radio broadcasts news approx. 4-5 minutes later. This is of course irritating. What can I do?

I plan to mount my new Arc above a gas fire place without a mantle. Does anyone have experience with this? I realize that the mantle would help disipate heat. What is the distance reccomended between the Arc and the top of the fireplace?

Hello everyone, I just got gifted a Beolab 8 (Bang and Olufsen) and plan to buy a Sonos multirom system.I would liek to use the beolab 8 for the TV and connect it to the Sonos multi room system.I have two questions, please be kind my technical knowledge in sound system is limited : How do I connect the beolab 8 to Sonos ? From my understanding, to connect an other loudspeaker to the Sonos system I need to connect it to the Sonos port device using RCA cables. What I don’t manage to understand if this is the only right method and if beolab 8 has an RCA input (input or output I’m not sure what’s the right one) How do I connect the beolab to a TV ? I’m not sure but seems like I need to connect a beoconnect core device to the TV using HDMI ARC cable and then either connect beolab 8 to the beoconnect core with a cable or using wifi if the beoconnect core is connected to a wiza device.  Please connerct me if any of my sta

Why does the Home Theatre configuration keep dropping my 2 (L/R) sonos One speakers and the sub?

Not sure what happened but it take way to long to finally Develop a connection with Bluetooth to my home system been a couple years. It has never been this difficult. Are usually try to connect to Apple Music on my phone.anyone else experience issues like this?

When streaming music at advanced volume levels the output level drops in sympathy with sibilant sounds, similar to severe compression. The effect isn't apparent on any other Sonos speaker in my system.

I am trying to connect my sky glass remote to my gen 1 sonos beam. The beam is connect via the admin arc socket. I have two ones and a sub connected as well. How do I get the beam to recognise the sky remote? Currently using a One for All remote for the volume which is frustrating.

Hallo allemaal, Een tijdje geleden is mijn sonos one sl kapot gegaan. Deze was maar 5 jaar oud wat ik vrij jong vond maar goed ik beschouw het als pech. Ik heb toen een nieuwe sonos era 100 aangeschaft zodat mijn systeem van een sonos one sl en een beam weer surround te maken. Alleen nu probeer ik deze weer bij mij systeem te voegen alleen ik krijg deze boxen voor geen mogelijkheid bij elkaar. Kan het zo zijn dat de era 100 niet te combineren valt mijn beam en one?Zo ja. Is het dan de bedoeling dat ik elke box weer moet resetten naar fabrieksinstelling of moet ik het in de app omgooien?  Groetjes bauke Moderator Note - Translation by Google:Hello everyone, My Sonos One SL broke down a while ago. This one was only 5 years old, which I thought was quite young, but I consider it bad luck. I then purchased a new Sonos Era 100 so that my system could be conv

Dear Sonos team,i noticed this aspect with soundbar Arc: in music or films, every now you have to exceed half the volume to hear well and i have to increase the volume up to 60/70. If i set it to 20 for example, you can hear very little and it is too low. I believe that it’s essential to improve this aspect correcting the volume scale. Is this improvement expected in future updates?Thank you and good work.

Hi all!Before this big update, when TruePlay was activated, Surround speaker distance and Sub phase control got automatically grayed out, as they were set by TruePlay.Yet, after this update, even though with TruePlay is activated, Surround speaker distance and Sub phase control are also available, which seems to defeat the purpose of having TruePlay activated.Is this still to be fixed? Did anything changed regarding this, and from now on it is supposed to have these settings available?Hope I can get some faeecback, specially from the Sonos staff.

Hi, I just purchased a used Sonos Sub gen1 to connect with my system. My system can find the the sub but says an update is required. OK so I start the update process and it has now been going on for 3 hours with 25% still not done !! What's going on here ? I already have a Sonos Sub gen 1 in my system connected to player working perfect. why's is this new “old” sub so hard to add/update ?  

Hello Everyone,I am an avid fan of Sonos since beginning thanks to my father but now I'm getting real frustrated over a matter. I have TCL 43c645 tv that I bought last year and just bought Sonos Beam (Gen 2) with my first paycheck after university.Tv recognizes Sonos when I do the setup via app and connect to an Arc HDMI with no problems but there is simply no sound.I have factory reset the soundbar, plugged everything off from the TV (the Nintendo Switch, PS5 etc.) tried to do it again only with Sonos connected to TV. No result.I have checked the CEC and also approved it so that should also be fine.I am running out of options and this is simply very sad for me as I am losing my trust in Sonos :'(P.S. The initial setup with the app to my phone was already a nightmare but that's something else, that one got fixed :)Funny enough I have no problems playing music from the Sonos app (Spotify) to my Beam Gen 2 Soundbar.

I have a first generation Beam. Can I use either 2 Play 1 speakers with the Beam or 2 Sonos one speakers? I presume that I cannot mix them. 

I have setup a surround with Arc, Sub, and a pair of Play:1.    This is connected to the TV via HDMI to the TV eARC HDMI port.   The TV is a LG Nano99 65 inch 8K NanoCell TV (Model: 65NANO996NA.AEK) My problem is that the rear pair of Play:1 does not have sound come out when playing movie from Netflix or from my own movies from Plex.   The rear pair of Play:1 has sound when playing music from Spotify playlist “SONOS Dolby Atmos”. This works intermittently.   It has been working for some length of time when the surround was first setup last week.   Then, the rear pair of Play:1 is turned off and on (because I need to place them on stands).   Then, I have this struggle thar the read Play:1 plays no sound from Netflix nor from Plex.   I have tried power cycled everything.   Tried removing the surround and re-created the surround.   This has been done several times.  Of course I have tried playing music on individual Arc+Sub, each Pl

Hi, I am planning to but a ARC S19 system as I found a good price for it. I know it is the older version but my question is, will I be able to connect it to other speakers / Sub in the future? does it support it?
