We’re building a new house, and in the living room will have a gas fireplace on one wall, with ledge-rock-looking tile around the fireplace up to the ceiling.  We have a large thick natural-edge walnut mantle above the fireplace and plan on mounting a Sony 65” AH8 above the mantle with enough room to either put the Arc under the TV, mounted to the ledge-rock or hung from the TV mount.Any thoughts on how to mount the Arc using the wall mount sold by Sonos over the rock, or are we going to have to mount the wall mount to the drywall, then tile around it?IF possible, we’d like to hang the Arc under the TV mount, but, have not been able to find a mount that has such an option, or any kind of a third-party hanger for the Arc.Thanks!

Am I able to pair a Bluetooth microphone to the sonos arc for karaoke purposes?

all of a sudden, when we change the tv to another hdmi port that our gaming system is plug in the sound does not work-  we have to go to the tv settings, switch audio to tv audio then switch it back to external speakers and it works-  I have a sony tv model 850, connect the beam via digital audio cable .  so same thing happen when we open up apple tv,  had to fix it the same way-  but when we turn it back to the tv hdmi for the cable box  sounds is perfect-   I have no problem streaming music to any of my sonos products.  just cant figure out what happened..  anyone have ideas ..  thanks for you help

I’m using 2x symfonisk speakers setup as stereo pair as AirPlay target for my AppleTV. I was planing to use them as rear speakers in 5.1 setup down the line but current issues don’t inspire trust (yes I’m aware that 5.1 settup is different to this).Everything works fine TILL I pause the video for more then 10-15 seconds, after that audio doesn’t come back upon resuming. I need to deselect them as audio output and select them again to get the audio back. This is extremely annoying.From what I can google, I’m not the only one with this kind of issue. I’ve tried power cycling everything, connecting the speakers with cable, everything’s updated to latest version. Only workaround I read about is playing an “empty” audio stream in the background.  Is there any fix for this issue?

Can Arc deliver Atmos sound in an open room with 20 feet high ceiling?

Hi,Trying to replicate a “home theatre” type of sound on main floor.Would I be better doing:sonos arc, 2 rear ceiling speakers, sub 2 front ceiling speakers, 2 ceiling speakers, sub other?Currently own 2 pairs of ceiling speakers, amp, subThanks in advance

I really enjoy  Concert Hall. But could we be given more information about the piece please, the Composer, Piece Name, Movement  and Artist would be nice. Thanks

hi all,just got my sonos home theater setup and am very happy with the system.  my question is about the surround sound speakers...sonos one.  i’m thinking about using speaker stands but i’ve read all the reviews/posts and it seems that there aren’t any speaker stands that keep the ones very secure.  anyone have any experience or make a recommendation on stands that would keep the ones secure on a stand?  i have kids and dogs and i would rather not take the chance.  thx!

I have a paired set of Sonos Ones.  I have my itunes library on MacOs.  I have added the drive to Sonos through Manage and gone through the update process which took over an hour.  All I see is “No Selections are available” on each of the categories in the music library.  I have 30,000 songs in my library, that should be acceptable right?  What can I do to get my library showing up?  Are there any log files or diagnostics I can look at to see what the problem is?

OK, so I fancy a stereo pair of Fives as my main system, but as far as I know the Five is not Alexa enabled, so if I also have a Move, could I ask Alexa on the Move to play through the Fives? I know I could do this cheaply with an Echo Dot but I fancy a Move anyway, as a portable

Hi everyone,I own a Move. If I buy a Five and plug in a device using the line-in, will I be able to play music from the device in different rooms on both products (or while the Move is in wi-fi range)?I do not want to play in stereo (I've already found that info) but just need to confirm multiple Sonos products will work hope I hope they will.Thanks!

Hi,I am trying to build a 7.1 Home Theater system for my basement.Following is the kind of system I am trying to build (Link at Dolby site). Also see the picture below: I was wondering, if we have an Arc as mid, can we setup a 7.1 through Sonos? Any idea? Moderator note: We updated this article in October 2023 with new information below. With the introduction of the Sonos Arc and the Era 300 we now support Dolby Atmos surround sound. If you want to know more please check out this article on our community or The Ultimate Guide to a Sonos Home Theater on our blog.  

I have a SONY 5 CD player with optical out. I connected it to my Sonos Beam with the HDMI Sonos adapter. When I play a CD on the SONY no sound comes out of the Sonos. What else do I need to do? Thank you

Hi -- I have two connect:amps and am interested in upgrading them for the newer amps. For some reason, one of them shows up as upgrade eligible and the other doesn’t. Is there a way to find out why this or, and/or to get my currently non-eligible one added to the upgrade program? Thanks for any help you can offer!

I have always been able to key an IP address in that sonos gave me and that gave me a colour chart representation of how all my speakers are working - that no longer works - I’ve submitted a log - went to Twitter to tweet the support and that’s gone also - anyone any idea how I can view my system info myself ? I’ve just moved my boost hence why I was checking -Thanks 

My primarily way to play music on my Sonos system & speakers is using airplay.  I have 9 different rooms setup..  is there a way to play all or create a button to play all rooms with out having to select each room individually. 

Hi allI am going to be mounting my LG OLED TV over my fireplace (pellet stove insert).  I have an old Bose 3-2-1 system i’ll be retiring and looking to go to the Sonos Arc for obvious reasons - my main challenge/concern is that space between the mantle where I would need to place the arc and the TV will be very tight due to the space available from mantle to ceiling.  I have read through some of the forums about the required space on either side of the unit - I am wondering if I will be severely limited if I place the arc on the mantle close to the wall so it sits just behind the TV so as not to block the bottom of the TV (as the TV has little to no bevel).  with the bracket, there should be room for the arc to sit just behind the TV - appreciate any advice/suggestions to make this work (or if this an alternate sonos sound bar that may work better with the space I have to work with.

Hello folks!I just ordered an arc + sub to replace my play base. I live in a 1200 sf apartment on the corner of the building and my living room is to the outside so there are 3 walls between my living room and my neighbor next to me (bedroom wall, 2 closet walls, and bathroom wall) I don’t think the sound from the sub will travel through all that at reasonable volumes but I am worried about disturbing my downstairs neighbor. Would an isolation pad under the sub help? Or would that not really do anything because of the force cancelling drivers in the gen 3 sub? Any apartment dwellers with the sub have any insight?  

Hi all,From my quick search this question hasn’t been answered in over a year - apologies if I’ve missed the most recent discussion.Has Sonos adapted itself to be a airplay 2 sender yet?Cheers in advance

Hi!  So I suck at setting up home audio. My question may sound elementary for many but I wanted to see if anyone had a solution here.  I own the following Sonos items: (1) Sonos Amp and (2) Sonos Play 1s.I recently purchased a home that has 2 wired outdoor speakers installed.  What I would like to do is setup my living room TV with my Sonos Amp and 2 Sonos Play 1s WHILE also connecting the 2 wired outdoor speakers to the living room amp. What I DO NOT want to happen is when I watch my living room TV for the sound NOT to play on the 2 wired outdoor speakers.  Rather I’d like to operate the outdoor and indoor speakers separately (i.e., music being played outdoors while the basketball game playing indoors) but I’d also like to have the option of playing all rooms together if I were to listen to music.  Hope that makes sense. Is there a way to do this without purchasing more equipment?     

I’m a Canadian that has a Qobuz subscription, and recently jumped onboard with SONOS for my multi-room audio setup. I prefer Qobuz over Tidal for sound quality, as well as for their music library. I was frustrated to find that I was unable to connect my SONOS players to my Qobuz account. Qobuz doesn’t even show up on the list of available services to connect to! I know Qobuz isn’t officially available in Canada, but I don’t see why I can’t select it from the list, and log in if I have an active account. Does anybody know a workaround? Would having a VPN solve this problem?

Looking to get the SONOS Arc and Sub. I’m a little confused/concerned about hooking it up to my system. Currently I run the following into my Pioneer receiver:Cox Cable BoxSONOS Port (to stream music into current home theatre speakers)Blue Ray disc playerApple TV The receiver then controls the sounds that are sent into the speakers via wires. As I understand it, setting up the ARC, I would connect the ARC to the HDMI (ARC) connector of the TV. My TV, Pioneer Viera VT30 has just one HDMI (ARC) connection. This requires that I connect the Cox Cable box directly to the TV, presumably to one of the other HDMI connections.Would I then connect the Blue Ray player and the Apple TV directly to the TV? If this is the case, it seems that my receiver would become unnecessary. Thank you for your time to review my questions.

good day all so i just upgraded my PC speaker system.i have a Sonos beam to my asus prime x299 deluxe MB by the optical out (using the sonos optical to HDMI ARC connector) and its working well. i then figure why not get surround sound. so i just got 2 oneSL's. i hooked them up and its not working. they out put sound (extension of the 2.0 sound from the beam) but not true surround. if i fly and play something with dedicated rear channel sound i get nothing.i have gone into the settings in win 10 to see if i could get it to push 5.1 audio. but i cant find anything. is this even possible?? is there a way to get HDMI ARC output from my 2080ti??i want full 5.1, but have yet to order a sub, and probably wont until i figure out how to get surround working. any help would be awesome. cheers,
