I’ve recently both two One sls and used them for a week. I was really happy with the sound and decided to add an Arc (not knowing that there were bass issues). After installing is was disappointed with the sound especially  in comparison with the two One sls.  After fiddling around with true play (4x) the highs and mids sound fine. The bass however remains bad. Muddy/ clipping or something even at low volume. As I am a techno/ deephouse listener I expected deep bass. I was quite impressed with the bass the two small ones already displayed and expected more of the arc. TV/movies bass sounds better.It seems that there was already a software update (which I’ve done) but I can’t hear any improvement on heavy bass tracks. Does anyone still experience the same issue?( I am new to this forum so maybe already covered on another thread) If not, I am returning the Arc to the store. 

I have 8 Boston Accoustic HSi 270 in ceiling speakers that I am looking at powering with 2 Sonos Amps - i.e. 4 speakers per Amp, wiring 2 Speakers in parallel per channel.  These are 8Ohm speakers and It seems that they rated at 90watts.  Is the power rating of the speakers an issue for this configuration?Many thanks.

We have arc, 2 one sl and a sub as home theatre. Does the arc work noticeably better if it’s not enclosed on a shelf in a tv stand…or will we notice a difference if it’s freestanding on top of the tv unit? Thanks for any advice

Hi all.  I have a Sonos One and I assumed I could pair it with my Win10 laptop but I can’t see anything in the app to help me pair it.  My laptop can see it in Bluetooth but I can’t connect.  Any advice?

Hi,I have a Sonos Beam and (independently) two Sonos Ones set-up as a stereo pair. All speakers are in my lounge and both use the S2 app on my iPhone.The Sonos Ones play fine and the Beam plays content from my TV with no problem.I wanted to use the Sonos Ones as surround speakers for the Beam, but when I try to do this in the S2 app (using the app’s set-up Wizard) I get the following error message,“Two compatible Sonos speakers are required to add surrounds. Make sure your products are powered on and connected to wifi.”All my speakers are on and working fine (independently) on the same wi-fi network. One of my Sonos Ones is in fact directly connected to the router by an ethernet cable (I get this error message whether this ethernet cable is connected or not - I’ve tried both ways).I’ve tried re-booting the Sonos Ones, and this hasn’t fixed anything. The only thing I haven’t tried yet is turning the Beam on and off.Any help/ideas are much appreciated.Many thanks,Stu

I’m interested in purchasing an Arc but have read several reviews wherein owners of certain Samsung TVs are having issues with compatibility.  I have a 2019 65” Q80 TV.  It has no eArc HDMI port, but does have an Arc HDMI port.  Are there issues I should be aware of and can I be assured that I can experience ATMOS?Thanks,ZJS 

Can someone please explain why there are constant and unending reminders to check for S2 compatibility on the apps? I am not a moron. I understood after the first check I cannot run S2. No matter how many times I am asked to check, no matter how many times i see a ridiculous notification, I will never discard perfectly good hardware. All this has done is provoke me to seek alternatives to Sonos which I am now implementing rather than make any further Sonia investments. But back on point, does anyone understand the reasoning behind this offensive behavior? Thank you.

Hi all, A couple of weeks ago, yousee musik stopped allowing multiple streams to the same Sonos system (at least for my system).Have anyone else experienced this? And  do you know, if this is a bug or a new limitation from Yousee musik?BR Torben

Do Trueplay settings reside on the iPhone itself via S2, or in the speaker itself?  Reason for asking is if I set Trueplay up through one iphone but actually use another when listening. 

Hi! Recently bought a TCL ep685 and have connected my Beam to it. Audio is good, but have some sync issues here and there. If I turn the TV on/off it’s usually back to normal. Seems like if I set the “Digital Audio Out” to PCM instead of auto, the sync issue is gone, but audio is way worse. With auto it’s a lot better. Also it says DD 5.1 in the app with auto.Does anyone have experience with this or any solutions that doesn’t result in worse audio?Thanks

If you unplug one or both Sonos 5’s in a stereo pair or loose power, do you have to redo Trueplay?

Can I connect a Sonos Amp to 1 pair of L/R and 1 single stereo ceiling speaker?

Is it possible to create 5.1 SS with Sonos Arc, 4 Polk in-ceiling speakers/sub already installed, and a Sonos Amp? 

Hello, for the past month, my Sonos doesn’t respond as it used to. I am unable to instantly control the volume or change a music track or radio station. I have 2 x Play3s and 1 x Pkay 1Any ideas ?ThanksSonal

Can I play what I am listening to on the Arc and on the Roam simultaneously?

This is strange!?I have a HomeKit home and Apple Music.The symfonisk are visible in home app. If I make a shortcut to play music directly to my symfonisk speaker and run it, then Apple TV hijacks that and stream to my speakers. If I then wants to watch a show on my tv, then the music pause, and plays the sound through my speakers. I can not watch a show with audio on the tv speakers and play music on the same time on the symfonisk. They are not in the same room !???If I play directly to the speakers from Sonos app, then I can watch a show on Apple TV at the same time.  

Hej. Har et underligt problem. Jeg kan se symfonisk og Apple TV i Home app. Hvis jeg spiller musik fa Apple musik og vil se Netflix eller andet samtidig, bliver det jeg ser sat på pause og lyden kommer ud af symfonisk. Ikke så smart når højttalerne ikke er i samme rum. Så hvis jeg prøver at sende musik direkte til symfonisk fra apple musik, så overtager Apple TV pg sender musikken til højttalerne. Inde i apple musik app og jeg vælger airplay hedder det nu alrum - stue og ikke alrum. Stue er Apple TV og alrum er højttalere. Det er som om alt skal gå igennem Apple TV. Kan sagtens streame direkte til højttalerne fra sonos app. 

I’m selling my Sonos Play 5 Gen 1. What do I need to do in order for the new buyer to use it?

Hi, my Sub Gen 3 is making a very distracting clicking noise (similar to a spinning Hard Drive) every time something is being reproduced by the audio system. My diagnostic info is: 1963654690 Thanks

Still having issues with my play 5 gen 1 music stops for a few seconds sometimes longer then plays again, only through Spotify though. Tried everything even had a new router still same reauthorised Spotify account from last community contact still same. Been like it ever since sonos decided to change their software and make older products discontinued. Any other advice would be brill. thanks in advance 

So over a couple years I have collected several Sonos products. My current setup is a Sonos beam (my first Sonos purchase) in front, two play 5s as rears and a gen 3 sub.  I want to upgrade my system again but I’m not sure if it would be better to replace the beam with the arc or just get 2 play 5s up in front with the beam. What do you guys think? What will sound better?

I talked him into spending almost $2000 on a Sonos system (Arc and Sub). He’s been having problems since the beginning. It works fine with his TV, but then he goes to his app to play music, and his system is not connected to the app, he has to run through the set up again, the app finds his system, and works, and then after he watches TV again, he has to do the same thing again, go through the set up to find his system to play music because once he’s watched tv his system is no longer found with the app.  he has submitted a diagnostic report and is not getting help
