Hi there.  My Arc is connected to the HMDI ARC on my tv, but no matter hwat i’ve tried i cannot get it to output 5.1.  Netflix/prime/tv etc. Sound works fine but the app keeps saying its playing in stereo.  I have tried using the optical adapter as well - same issue. the DD option in the TV menu is greyed out and “PCM”  is the only option I can use.  I’ve even tried using an hdmi switcher which changed nothing.  TV and Arc and the app are all on their latest software version.  Tried multiple HDMI cables, sources, etc.  Thoughts?

I am so disappointed by the fact that I can’t have a single system (fitting my apartment size) that allow me to take full advantage of both home theatre as well as music playing capabilities of the devices I own.I would argue creating a toggle shutting down the soundbar is doable in this time and age, but from what I have read in the forums. It clearly is not. having gone over a vast number of threads these solutions seem like an amazing option to create an alternative for those of us who either for financial is logistical reasons cannot afford to keep additional 2 or more speakers at home.Please, consider this an upvote to what’s most likely has already been posted. Since it’s time to push ALL OF THE Company’s ENERGY INTO FIXING - AND ENHANCING, APP interface and overall experience for those of us who have trusted Sonos with their money, I wish to make it a point to remind the engineers and management about these ideas. thank youI think a toggle that's a shortcut for unpairing them an

Hello I want to buy Sonos move2 in china. Is it possible or not ? Because this is not available online in china. 

With my Sonos One, I can call out for Sonos or Alexa. When I ask either of them to play a song, they say  okay, but nothing happens. If I ask for FOX News they say okay, but nothing happens. What’s wrong with it? Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

I am playing an Apple Music playlist on my Sonos.  On the now playing screen it shows the song and that the source is Apple Music, but, it does not say what the playlist is.  It’s not one that I’ve created or else I’d be able to identify it.   Does anyone know how I can possibly identify the playlist? UPDATE: I tried looking at my recently played and although the playlist is playing right now, it does not appear in my recently played. Moderator edit: Combined posts

I’m trying to help my senior with poor eyesight to control her TV (with Bell Fibe service) using voice commands with an ARC capable Sonos speaker.  I understand that Alexa or Google voice commands can turn the TV on or off and control the volume output but I’m looking for more control.  Channel selection, TV Bell Fibe guide display, input switching, etc.   Possible?   

The serial number is 1706 ************Thank you.Moderator edit: Serial number removed

I don’t pay for Apple Music but have a large library within of my music. Sonos won’t let me play it.

I intend to connect my current 3rd party amplifier and two passive speakers to a Sonos Port. If I connect a Sonos subwoofer to the Port and place it in the same room with the passive speakers will there be a latency/delay issue between the wired and wireless speakers?

Hi, I use a Connect to stream a playlist from my Plex Media Server to a legacy speaker system (B&O 6000’s and a set of ceiling running off an Ashley amp) and also a Sonos Arc.I actually have two questions:Is there a way to normalize the volume of the playlist in the Connect? Most tracks are fine, but occasionally they’ll be quiet tracks. I’d can use a hardware compressor between the Connect and DAC, but then the normalized audio would not reach the Arc. I wish there was a normalize setting on the Sonos app like there is on PlexAmp.  Is anyone else having trouble with Alexa routine? I’m just trying to pause playback at night and restart it in the morning, but I’m seeming to get anywhere. Alexa does not seem to find the Connect at all, and the Arc is set, but it just doesn't work. Many thanks in advance 

era 100 does it need a power connection

I have  2 home theatre set ups.  1 in basement with Sonos arc, Sonos sub and 2 era100s. The other is the family room with sonos soundbar and Sonos sub. Can a different show/movie be watched in each zone at same time with Sonos sound ?thx Gordo 

It has taken a while for me to start using my Move 2.First it would not update (before first use). It kept saying there was a problem connecting to my Wifi. Even though the other 50 products in the house work properly. I had to go to someone else his house to use their Wifi which worked immediately.  When I got back home the Move 2 needed to be added to my account. Which then also failed at my home. After creating a new account (and multiple tries) it finally added the Move 2 to my second account.  Now the Move 2 is visible in the app and can be used, BUT it keeps saying “Not registered”. This way I can’t see the battery level or access the settings.  It did work for a brief moment (after using a method from another user = logging out in the app, resetting the app and logging in again). But after a few minutes it said “Not registered” again and the previous method does not help anymore.  I’m out of ideas because I have tried literally everything (reboots, resets, factory resets, app re

Roam needs wifi connection before switching to bluetooth ? Why does it not connect by using mobile internet. Confused. I want to use in caravan but wifi not always available. Any assistance woll be appreciated. Thanks .

Hi everyone, and apologies in advance for my stupidity, but getting very confused…We have just bought a new house which has ceiling speakers installed in the kitchen. The previous owner of the house advised that you needed an amp in order to play them. Thinking I was being smart, I took a photo of the amp (Sonos Connect:Amp Gen 2) that the previous owner had, and bought one thinking that would do the trick!However, I am mystified on how to connect it. The speakers have loose wires that go into the cupboard that the amp is housed in, but there is no way that I can see to connect to the amp. I read on the Sonos site that they should connect using banana plugs so I ordered some off the Sonos website but they are too big for the holes at the back. What am I doing wrong and how do I connect my speakers and play music?!? Grateful for any advice any of you can offer!  

I have a Beam 2 connected via HDMI(eARC) to a TV and a single Era 100. Both are on the same wireless network. If I group the speakers together, I only get TV audio out of the Beam. If I play music on the Sonos app, they both play flawlessly in sync.I've tried associating them in the same room and as separate rooms. The app acts like it's playing on both speakers when I group them. Is this just not possible in this configuration? 

Hello, im currently trying to connect my SONOS ARC, not SL or Ultra to my desktop, not my monitor. I have tried everything but nothing seems to work. HMDI from soundbar to gpu with and without optical cable. No sound it coming out and i cant even seem to find the sound setting on the soundpanel. What can i do?

I just. purchased an Arc Ultra Sound Bar.  How do I make this first set up for Blue Tooth use?

hi,can you can use a Sonos Era 100 Pro on Wi-Fi and use PoE (Power over Ethernet) only to power it, by using a PoE injector, which provides power but not data?

Hi I have a Rega Planar 1 plus turntable which is connected to the left of a pair of Era 300 speakers. The speakers are set up in a stereo pair (which works fine for streaming) but when playing from the turntable only the left speaker works. I have tried connecting the white cable to the red and the left speaker still works. If I just connect the red cable to the red, or red cable to the white no sound comes out. I have tried another cable so I don’t think this is the issue. I have tried connecting the turntable to the right speaker and this works, but then the left speaker does not work. I have tried setting the Audio Delay under the Line-In settings to MAX, and have also tried setting the Audio Compression setting in the Sonos app to Compressed. I have disconnected the stereo pair and reconnected a few times but no resolution of the problem. I cannot see a balance slider when I look at the room.  Any other ideas? Many thanks.

A feature of the Sonos Ace is “Multipoint”, when I enable this in the App, it says “Connect 2 Bluetooth devices and easily switch between them”I have connected two devices, mobile phone and BT transmitter.I can’t find a way to switch between them? Is there a secret button press or similar that I don’t know about?

I have no interest in streaming services at all.  ALL I want to do is use my voice to get my sonos to shuffle play all the music on my NAS.That’s it.  Simple.  or it should be.I created a play list of all my music.I say ‘Sonos play [x] paylist’It bitches about not having a service connected?WTF?

Would it be possible for you to allow the user to rearrange and change the order of the various stations that I have saved in my “Sonos Favorities”?  It is currently defaulted to alpha-numerical sort and some of my most used are at the end of the list.  I’d like the ability to customize the order that they are listed.  Thank you!-Tom

Hi. I’ve just purchased a Beam 2 and Mini Sub to add to my existing setup.  All is working fine for movie content etc - sounds great.  When I playback music, either via an app like Spotify or in the Sonos App, the sound only comes from the Beam 2 and nothing from the Sub. Is there any way I can change this?  Thanks 

Hello, I would like to order Sonos products for our office and was wondering if I could purchase and pay for the products by invoice / BACS?
