Hi - I’ve just invested in a Sonos Beam and am unable to get a connection using the HDMI Arc socket on my Panasonic TX-40DX700 - launched in 2016. Following advice from other posters I have:disconnected all other HDMI leads from the TVunplugged both TV and Beam for five minuteschecked cable is secure both endsensured that I connected using the correct HDMI socket (middle of three)only connected the cable when the TV was switched on (when I do this the tv sound is muted)set the Viera Link to ‘on’ in settings on the TVset TV sound to Home CinemaWhenever I use the Sonos app to link the TV to the Beam I get the following message ‘HDMI ARC not detected. Make sure the HDMI cable is connected to the ARC port and your TV is on’. To check that the Beam was working I connected up using the optical lead. Immediately the TV’s sound came out of both the Beam and the TV. I tried to change the sound setting on the TV to Home Cinema rather than TV but that option was unavailable.I’m starting to run ou

What is the loud switch in eq on the app for. I have a Sonos BeamNew to Sonos sorry if this is a daft question 

The beam is installed and wired to the TV (ARC). But it still says that the ARC-connection still is not set up properly….. I already use the beam to play Spotify from my iPhone but now I want to add the TV.

I'm about to upgrade my Play 5s (gen1) to the new FIVEs.  Will the FIVEs still pair with my gen 1 Sub?  Moving all, hardware to S2 environment and note Sub is still supported by S2.   Hoping I can keep existing Sub.  Any advice?  

Hello, I’ve problems with Spotify playlist on the alarm. It does not start. I’ve a premium account, so i pay for Spotify with a family account.Streaming is no problem from devices. I’ve made several diagnostics and contacted Sonos (in the Netherlands).I’ve no issues regarding no network connection or whatever. Radio does work. Spotify does not work on a alarm, always the chime sound instead of Spotify playlist. Tried on Play3, AMP so no device related problem.Situation: Everything is S2 upgraded.on bottom floor: cable connected Boost (prime router, ASUS imesh network), Arc, 2xOne SL, Sub (gen3) second floor: two separate Play3 third floor: cable connected Play One on cabled imesh ASUS network, Play3, AMPI’ve no problems with Wifi, no problems with Sonos. The’ve checked the network and everything was within “safe” connection zone (all green). Can someone please tell me why doe the Spotify account not start in the morning? It had been working fine before. The problems started round june/

Can i not use my own sonos login when connecting to sonos system on my work or at my friends? 

So I was listening to music in both rooms then all of a sudden it stoped connecting to the sonos 1 through wifi and I can’t get it too connect. I done a diagnostic ( 65327139). I’ve reset it disconnected and reconnected with the Ethernet cable etc and nothing works 

My S2 app suddenly will not connect to the speakers but I can still play music through Alexa. 

So on the App on my PC I can see my 'Sonos Playlists' as an option to select a music source. However, on the app on my iPhone that option isn't available? I can select 'imported playlists' , Artists, Albums etc. but not Sonos Playlists?

Hi, I’ve been owning a Playbase for a bit more than one year and I’ve just bought 2 SL Ones to augment the sound experience for my TV.The Playbase has been set up with the previous version of the app, but the new SL Ones have been set up with the new S2 app. I want all these speakers to be configured in the same room but for some reason it is impossible for me to see the Playbase in the new S2 app. When I try to set-up new product, it just never shows up. When I open the old app, it just direct me to the new app, so I’ve kinda lost any ability to control my Playbase, even though it still shows up in AirPlay.Any thoughts?Thanks

I have 2 Play1 speakers, sound bar, and sub set up for surround sound in my Den.  I purchased 2 more Play 1 speakers and added them but it created a Den 2?  I can manually activate both sets for music but it will only play 2 speakers for surround sound.  Is there a way to have them play automatically for both music and TV surround sound?  Appreciate any input!

I have the Sonos app on both my iphone 11pro and my iPad Air 3rd generation.  I am running the latest IOS software and have an up to date Sonos app on both devices.  Whenever I try to launch the app on my iphone when the app is already open on my ipad, I get a greyed out screen (I have a screen shot).  This does not change, unless I close the app on my ipad.  Once I do that, it takes about a minute for the app on my iphone to adjust to the normal screen (again I have a screen shot), but this screen is then frozen.  The only way to get the app to work on the phone is to close the app on the ipad and close the app on the iphone, then restart the app on the iphone.  

I have a Playbar, Gen 2 Sub and Play:1 surrounds.  If I want Atmos, I know I need the Arc but will my sub and surrounds work or do I need to scrape the whole rig?

Greetings,Does anyone know if it’s possible to set up a 4.1 system *wirelessly* with a Sonos Connect and a Sonos Amp? To clarify: The Connect would be wired (through a separate amp) to my tower speakers, sub, and TV. The Sonos Amp would be wired to my surrounds only (i.e., not wired to TV). Can the Connect and Amp coordinate surround sound for TV wirelessly in this way? Would be grateful for any guidance.Many thanks,a sonos newbie

I'm having difficulty connecting my Sonos to my Music Library. My laptop is on and the network can see all Sonos devices. However, when I put the path in (\\mycomputer\shared\music) it simply says my computer is not responding. The folder 'Music' is shared to Sonos with full permission but it's just not responding

Hi Sonos community,I have a Spotify Family account. I’ve added our spotify accounts (2) into the Sonos app by using the tutorial here: https://support.sonos.com/s/article/2757?language=en_USMy wife listens to music in the living room via Sonos Port and her spotify account (through Sonos app).  I want to listen to music on my laptop directly using the Spotify app (on my spotify account of course)Impossible. Music stops on one side everytime one of us try to play her/his music.Any idea? Bests, Mathieu

Hi, the Sonos controller recently said I needed to reauthorize Apple Music. When I followed the instructions and input my Apple id the Sonos app screen just blanked and stayed like that. I tried removing the Apple Music service completely and re-adding it. At the point of selecting ‘I’m already a member’ (of Apple Music), same outcome with screen just blanking out to white. Help please Sonos - I’m so bored of having problems with your system... 

I am on a pure S2 system, using the S2 app. A bridge is no longer shown as a system component when I am looking at the system in the app.Yet, when I go to the website, a bridge is still shown as registered with my account. I can checkmark it, and it is even eligible for an upgrade. I do no longer have the physical device, though.How can I remove the bridge from the website?---Website sonos.com → https://www.sonos.com/myaccount/system/households/devices/About your systemYou have 1 products in your system that are not compatible with the new app, Sonos S2.

I have a brand new setup with two Sonos ONE SLs, Arc and Sub. My room is quite large and the surround (Sonos ONE SLs) are 20’ apart and 15’ from the Arc. The Sub is also about 12’ away from the Arc. I spoke with a technician who said they should be closer, but that’s not easy to do. Is there a way to keep the speakers where they are but improve the connection?Also, rather than use the two Sonos ONE SLs as surrounds, does anyone use them as Front Left and Right speakers? Thanks.

HiRecently purchased a beam alongside an existing play 1. New app installed and beam working however from app can only see one of my two devices (both in same room currently). Interesting point is both at one stage do appear and work in app. Almost feels like they flip flop. Both on my network and both using WiFi Any thoughts

I had a Sonos system made up of 9 connect amps in a central rack powering ceiling speakers in different rooms. 3 of those rooms also have subwoofers. Everything worked flawlessly for 5 years and then I stupidly made the decision to upgrade 4 of those Connect Amps to the new Amp…… 3 of those “Amp upgrades” were in rooms which has a subwoofer. Unfortunately now 2 of the subwoofers no longer work as no sound comes out of them. They show up on my system but when I play something there is no sound and the room status in the Settings>System menu switches from showing Living Room (+Sub) to Living Room (+?).  I have been on the phone to Sonos Support for nearly an hour. In a nutshell the subwoofers no longer work as they are too far away from the Amps in the rack. The new Sonos Amp only operates at 5Ghz frequency and hence its range to connect to the subwoofer is much more limited than the old Connect Amp that operated at 2.4Ghz. The Sonos support professional was pleasant enough but the on

I am not very familiar with Sonos and I have a technical question about how speakers can be grouped.I’m wondering if it is possible to have different components part of multiple groups, and how that would or wouldn’t work with Airplay 2.Essentially I am designing a system for a room with a TV, and I wanted it to be possible to have the system set up as EITHER a 2.1 or a 5.1 (which includes the 2.1).So say I have the following components:(1) Arc (2) Five (2) One SL (1) SubIs it possible to have:Group 1: (2) Five + (1) Sub Group 2: Group 1 + (1) Arc + (2) One SLIdeally, I would like to have two groups both in Sonos and available to Airplay as “Stereo” and “TV”.

Hi just got my first Sonos product, a Beam. I’ve got google assistant speakers (Google Home and minis) set up a group to play music all together. I’ve tried to set up my Sonos Beam into this group to play music etc… all together so Google home Max, Nest minis and Sonos Beam together but cannot seem to include my new Beam. Can I please get some advice, this was one of the key reasons for me purchasing the Beam so that I could add it to my existing Google Home group of Speakers. I’m really quite disappointed now. Thanks 

a greeting to all I wanted to buy the arc soundbar and connect it to my 48 inch tv unfortunately I have no space under the TV but I have a shelf just 10 cm above the TV. there are listening problems leaving it on otherwise as an option I could place it behind the TV but weigh it worse for the sound let me know thanks

I have a SONOS Playbar, and am running SONOS 2 controller for Mac.  Version 12.2,  Sonos OS  S2,  Build: 61182310  Sonos ID: 114287825.My problem is that I can not establish a connection to my Music Library(iTunes Music) on my iMac without getting an error message.  Therefore I cannot play music. The music library does NOT appear in window, and the error message states:Sonos was unable to add the music folderAccess to the shared folder ‘//Michaels-iMac/Music’ is denied - check the username and/or password.Last week I called the Sonos technical support and attempted to resolve this problem  for over an hour to no resolution.  The Tech elevated this problem to a higher level and he sent me an email to establish an appointment.  My appointment with higher level Tech resolved the problem after several minutes, with this Tech accessing my ‘screen’ and typing in the path to my Music Library which established the connection and I could see all of my playlist and music.  The remedy to my probl
