Samsung Frame and Sonos Amp connected to same speakers?

I appreciate you peeps sharing your time and expertise here. 👍

I’m wondering if this would work to play my TV’s sound through all my music zones: one Amp connected to The Frame via HDMI-ARC and driving two external speakers. Then connecting wirelessly to my WiFi network to push the TV’s sound through the rest of my sound system, which would consist of 3 more Amps wired to 3 additional sets of speakers. Is this going to work?

As long as you’re aware of that delay I mentioned above between the ‘room’ that the TV is connected to, and all the other grouped rooms, any source can be played in all rooms. 

I would be upgrading everything to the current Sonos Amp. I thought that would eliminate the delay. No?

No matter what Sonos device is in use, there is always a delay between a home theater room, and any other grouped room, so that Sonos can ‘buffer’ the playing material so that it works across a 2.4Ghz signal. 
 

All speakers in the original room are connected on a low latency 5 GHz signal, but when other rooms are grouped, those other rooms have to be buffered in case they’re on a 2.4Ghz signal. It’s part of the software, it can’t be changed. 

Could we avoid the delay if everything was hardwired via ethernet?

Sorry, but no. The delay is always there when grouping other speakers with TV sound.

Nope, the delay is cooked into the system.

New questions: Let’s say I have The Frame TV connected to a Sonos Amp (current model) via HDMI-ARC. That Amp is hardwired to two speakers near the TV. My understanding is that any sound playing on the TV will automatically play through the Amp and its speakers. Will the TV remote control the sound volume through these speakers?

Now, with the TV off (or in art mode), will I be able to play music over this Amp and speakers via the Sonos app?

Thanks again for all your help!

The TV remote sends commands through the TV set, then via HDMI CEC to the Amp.. As long as the TV is sending sound to the Amp, that remote will control the volume. Once you remove the TV from the equation, I.e streaming music, rather than watching a TV source, the remote will not control the volume.

Yes, you’ll be able to stream music to the Amp when the TV is not being used. Again, you’ll need to use the app to control the volume. 

I have a Samsung Frame and several Sonos AMPs driving passive speakers. I drive TV audio very successfully from the TV to any of the Sonos amps in my home. I use an inexpensive (£20ish on Amazon) TOSLINK optical to analogue RCA DAC to connect the optical out port of the Frame controller box to the analogue RCA ports on a SONOS Port. The Sonos Port can be configured to automatically stream the analogue signal from the DAC to any device on your Sonos network. You configure the audio out settings on your Frame to always send TV sound to the optical “out” DAC connection. The Frame will let you configure a delay (I use 150ms) that compensates for any latency in the Sonos network. It works flawlessly. Hope this helps! Your only consideration is that your TV remote can no longer control volume. For that, you must use the Sonos app - OR - use Alexa - OR use very very funky Apple Watch app called “LYD”
