Currently my is setup is a Sonos arc, two Sonos subs, a Sonos amp, and two Sonos ceiling speakers being used as surrounds.  I am wanting to connect a record player to my system, but understand that I need a line in device (era 100 or era 300).  Can I add two era 300’s as front corner speakers?  or do they have to be used as rear surround speakers?  If they are used as rear surround speakers am I able to still utilize my exiting ceiling speakers as well?

I have a Sonos AMP, bought new in october 2025. Last couple of months I have noticed the sound is quite harsh and fatiguing, especially for TV sound through HDMI ARC. Both Stereo PCM and Dolby Digital coding give the same problem.For example, some voices tend to be too sharp and slightly sibilant. Other sharp sounds also feel too harsh.Here is what I have tried without success:Adjusting treble slider to -10 Experimenting with Loudness on/off Turning on and off Night mode and Speech Enhancement Factory reset Tried 2 different speaker pairs (Dali Oberon 1 and Dali Kupid) Changed to higher quality speaker cablesIs anyone else experiencing this? I found some threads about similar issues but they were pretty old. Could this be a hardware issue on my device? Or could this problem have reappeared with a recent firmware update?

Hi, my family has a house filled with at least 15-20 sonos speakers in the ceiling, amps, connects, arc, etc.  I was surprised when we didn’t get a 25% offer email like everyone seems to be getting.  Any idea how we can get the 25% offer as I just moved out and now want to fit my house with a few thousand $ in speakers for an awesome gaming/movie setup. I have a 20x20 family/media room in my new place, with one wall for the tv completely shelved (not sure if that’s good or bad for speakers). Help me decide what speakers to get and where to put them? From an aesthetics standpoint I was thinking arc ultra right under the TV, sub in the front corner of the room.  I am new to background speakers, but see people tend to have two. So thinking two era 100s or 300s on stands in the back corners (aesthetically better for us than right behind the couch). I was hoping to get the sub era 3 open box and then use the 25% off to get the rest brand new.  Let me know if my thoughts are foolish before I

Hi, I recently purchased a sub mini to connect to my beam gen 1.  The bass on my beam was very distorted, sound like a blown speaker when any bass was present.  I bought the sub mini to take on the bass the beam couldn’t handle anymore.  I currently have the bass on the EQ at -10 so that I don’t hear bass coming from the beam.  The only way I can hear any bass from the sub is when I turn the bass on the sub up to +15.  My question is, is it worth keeping this set up having to keep the bass on the beam off and the bass on the sub all the way up.  I feel like the two should be working together to produce clean bass for movies and music.  Contemplating returning the sub mini and going a different direction all together.

Hi, for years when I open Sonos on my Macbook I have been getting the dreaded “Your Computer's Firewall Setting Have Changed” In my firewall setting I have Sonos added and “Allow Incoming Connections”. This is permanent and never, ever changes.But every few weeks I get this warning and I can’t open Sonos. Sometimes I quit and reopen and it’s fine. I have called Sonos a few months ago and they said there is no way to play Sonos on my Mac right now…. but I have been using it on and off since then. Tonight quitting doesn’t help. So my question is, why doesn’t this just work? Like all the time. Aren’t there Sonos executives with Macs where this comes up?Does anyone have a permanent fix? 

Hi,I use my Sonos arc ultra with Amazon stick 4k and Panasonic Tv.IVe seen multiple Atmos content as Monarch legacy of Monsters. When the épisode is running, the Sonos app display the Dolby Atmos tag.  But today Ive lunched an episode and the app display Dolby Digital 5.1 tag. I’ve tried with previous episodes, and it still displays Digital 5.1. Any explanations ?cheers 

We have 11 Sonos devices in our home and group 9 of the together virtually every day. However, each morning, the group has dissolved—no group is present. Why does this happen?

When using the About My System functionality in the Sonos App, some speakers have “<Number>” instead of the correct version next to them.  The build number is always displayed correctly.  

Greetings all, I have arc, sub3 and 2 One SL in my home entertainment set up. Will adding 2 Era 300 enhance my home entertainment experience?

I have a SONOS PORT connected to a traditional 2-channel system along with two SONOS ONE remote speakers.  I cannot find a way to get turntable music to run through the PORT and out to my remote speakers while it plays through my 2-channel system?  Anyone help?

Fed up with Apple Music not re-authorising after latest S1 update. Until, after wasting a lot of time  I realised that as one of my devices was more up to date I could just airplay from Apple and the link it to the older devices. I now discover that it is a better experience as quite frankly the interface to Apple Musoc from Sonos App was extremely truncated.

After lots of investigation and comparison, in January I decided to select Sonos for my whole-home music system speakers, to be controlled via my extensive Home Assistant smart home system via the Music Assistant subsystem (HA/MA). The purchase timing was influenced by IKEA discontinuing their Symfonisk line, with the remaining speaker inventory available for half-price, plus a Sonos 25%-off sale.I first bought a pair of Symfonisk Picture Frame speakers, and after onboarding them with the Android Sonos app, they were instantly discovered by HA/MA after adding the MA Sonos Provider. Aside from lacking the TruePlay feature, these speakers were everything I hoped they would be. Great sound for just $150 each.So I immediately bought a pair of Sonos Era 100 speakers (for BT and aux-in support) and a pair of Roam 2 speakers (for initial outdoor support), which also were onboarded via the Sonos app and were discovered by HA/MA.The system performance was even better! I especially liked how I c

Hiya, I currently have a playlist with songs for both Apple Music and Amazon both of which I’m subscribing to, if I only used Amazon subscription going forward will Sonos still play the full playlist including the songs from Apple just switching providers to the same song but from Amazon?  Or is it a case of laboriously making a whole new playlist from Amazon music ?  

Når jeg giver en kommando til Sonos Voice Control bliver svaret fra SVC sagt med alt for høj lydstyrke. Hvordan kan jeg regulere lydstyrken?

I have an Arc Ultra, Sub and ETA 300 set up. Until recently I was getting ATMOS with supported content via my 2017 Apple TV 4K, however I have noticed under TVOS 26.3 that titles that formerly played ATMOS content are now only Dolby Digital 5.1. My PS5 and Xbox still play content in ATMOS including movies over my Sonos setup.I updated the Sonos system in the app and also installed the new TVOS beta, but neither has helped. Also the usual reboots. Any ideas?

Hi, I have a Sony Bravia 8 and have my Sonos Arc Ultra with Sub 3 and 2 Era 300sWhen I watch a movie doesn’t matter the audio format Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus etc, I get intermittent audio dropouts/glitches throughout the movie randomly and happens for a second around every 15-30 mins during the movie. Very annoying I have contacted Sonos support and after being through 6 people the 7th person finally knew what I was talking about and they said they are aware of the issue but have no information at this time. hopefully this gets sorted and they fix this issue in the next update.

Hi everyone,I’m writing because I feel my Sonos Arc Ultra isn’t performing as it should. I’ve noticed a few specific issues: EQ adjustments: Sometimes, I don't notice any change when I increase or decrease the Treble or Bass (especially the Bass) through the app. I don't have an external subwoofer; I'm only using the one built into the soundbar itself. Subwoofer testing: To verify that everything is working correctly, I’ve been using the test samples found on this thread: [Link]. When I run the test, the subwoofer channel doesn't produce any sound. However, if I play YouTube videos to test low frequencies, it responds well down to 30Hz (which is quite good). Could someone else without a standalone Sonos Sub run the same test and let me know if the subwoofer channel triggers any sound for them? Volume fluctuations: I notice significant volume imbalances when watching movies that are not Full Dolby Atmos 5.1. There are constant peaks and dips, especially with dialogue—voices feel too

I have a ROAM network at home, however I’m in the South Pacific on a cruise right now. I brought our ROAM 1st gen speaker with us. My iPhone connects fine to the ROAM across bluetooth. Just prior to our departure, I bought a new iPad. The iPad did not have the Sonos app loaded, which I’ve now done.The iPad cannot “see” the ROAM as it was never connected to the home SONOS network.Is it even remotely possible to use the ROAM Bluetooth settings buried in my iPhone, and manually create a connection from the new iPad to the ROAM? Many TIA!

I have Amazon music set as my default music provider on my speakers but when ever I ask via Alexa for music to be played it defaults to Spotify free and invariably just plays something random or related to the artist requested.I have reauthorised Amazon music, rescanned for speakers and even removed Spotify as a service provider in the Sonos app, and set Amazon music to default again, yet somehow my speakers still defaults to playing from Spotify free, not sure how or why.

Sonos playbar ultra not connecting to lg tv. I’ve used the below lead and plugged into e arc on tv and selected that for sound out. Lead I purchased is attached. 

My Sonos Amp has been running well for several years. In about Feb 2026 two issues arose - that may or may not be related.The existing alarms after working flawlessly for years started to behave eratically, either not turning on at all or turning on and then off again well short of the preset time. I have deleted and recreated the alarms but this has not resolved this first issue.   When streaming a radio station the output, (at various times seemingly at random), jumps back to where it was about 3 minutes earlier. (if I had to guess I would say the control of the buffer has become unstable)  I have (a) restarted my NBN modem, (b) restarted  my wifi router and (C) factory reset the Sonos Amp and readded it back to my system and recreated the alrams but these have not resolved this second issue.How do I resolve these?  Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted.
