Long shot but any help welcome. I plugged my new Beam into my LG C9 HDMI 2 port, flipped the option for EARC in TV settings, hit the button to set up my TV in the Sonos app… and immediately got the HDMI ARC not detected screen. After a lot of googling I disconnected all other inputs, power cycled the TV and Beam, played with turning eARC off and basically everything any AI Overview or forum post suggests. Anyone got anything to suggest beyond setting to fire to both devices? I naively thought this should be easy 

Hi all! I have the most odd “issue” (complaint?), and wanted to see whether others had the same experience. I recently bought a Sonos Beam 2 and the audio is weirdly biased leftward. This is particularly interesting since I previously bought (and returned) an Arc and Arc Ultra for the exact same issue. But my daily driver has been a Playbase which has no directional bias and sounds fantastic. I also have a Playbar which has no bias.I searched around and saw that others had this observation, too. Are the tweeters on these speakers somehow left-oriented or left-positioned?For context, I am in a small room and sitting about 6-7ft from my TV. There is a wall about 5-6 feet to the right of my TV when facing it, and the wall on the left is far away.I am having the issue regardless of TruePlay or input source, or surrounds. But again, the Playbase and Playbar are perfect! (I only swapped them out because I am getting a weird ~5-20ms audio delay over optical with my TV’s latest update).Any adv

I have 8 devices and mostly the system is robust.  However, for parties I may take a couple of speakers from upstairs and place them downstairs to provide full house ground floor coverage and play them grouped together.Never seems to work.  Some of the speakers seem to play for a minute or two and then stop and then randomly start and stop again.I am all Wi-Fi and all updates been donePay 5 Gen 2 Stereo pair with Sub, Era 100, Move Gen 1, Play 1 and 2 x Sonos 1 Are there still app issues with grouping? 

Bonsoir. Je possède actuellement deux enceintes sonos play 3 dont je suis très satisfait. J’envisage l’achat d’un sonos Amp de tel sorte à pouvoir connecter ma platine disque et mes enceintes passives. Est ce que mes enceintes sonos actuellement présentent seront compatibles et toujours accessibles avec cet ampli ?sera t’il possible de diffuser de la musique provenant de ma platine disque également sur les play 3 au travers le sonos amp ??merci beaucoup pour vos réponses bonne soirée olivier

Help please. Sony Bravia 7 + arc + Panasonic UB820 4K. Could someone please let me know what the correct Dolby Atmos settings are for these 3 units.I have the correct Hdni cables.Your help would much appreciated. All the best.Greg. $

Would it be okay to mount the Arc above a 98 inch TV I just purchased?  It will be sitting on the floor with the provided legs which I believe have about 3.5 inches of clearance below the TV.  The only option I see it to mount it above.  I keep reading don't but it's always a TV that's wall mounted and would be much higher than my situation.

Hi. I like to use my Move (first gen) to connect via Bluetooth to my projector. It sometimes works fine and I can watch all night with no issue but often it will connect, works for 10 seconds, then cuts out. On these occasions no amount of disconnecting and reconnecting or even removing completely and re-adding will work. My question is, what changes on the occasions it works?! I often resort to using a Roam which always works but would obviously prefer the extra oomph of the Move. I have 2 move 1s and both have the same issue.  any ideas? 

Hi everyone 👋I’m looking for some advice on which HDMI audio extractor to use with a simple home theater setup.My setup is: Sonos Beam 2× Sonos One SL (rear surrounds) Sonos Sub (Gen 2) Apple TV Projector (not 4K) I don’t need Dolby Atmos — I only need Dolby Digital 5.1 and I’m not trying to pass anything more advanced than that.Up until now I’ve been using a Nedis HDMI audio extractor between the Apple TV and the projector/Sonos. It worked fine for a long time, but recently the audio suddenly drops out after a while when watching content via Apple TV. If I restart my Sonos Beam the audio comes back, but then disappears again after some time.If I play audio directly via the Sonos app there are no issues at all, so it doesn’t seem to be the Beam itself.So I’m just looking for a stable extractor that can: handle Apple TV → projector pass Dolby Digital 5.1 to the Beam doesn’t have to support Atmos, TrueHD, etc. doesn’t need to be fancy — just reliable Thanks in advance! 🙏

When watching TV - how can I resolve the popping and clicking noise from my Era 300?.

Hi!  I bought my dad a couple of ERA 100’s an a separate cd player for Christmas. His old Bose cd player had stopped working. I used the Sonos inline adapter to connect to the cd player using an aux cable. Sounds great on the songs, but in between each song or when you do anything with the cd player remote the era 100 makes a super annoying popping noise. I’ve tried calling the customer support but haven’t gotten any help. I’ve ordered a replacement inline adapter, a couple different cd players, and a ground loop noise isolated to try and trouble shoot this.  Super frustrating trying to get something to work for my dad that was super simple with his old Bose stereo. Anyone else have this issue or suggestions?

Always when I change volume of tv by my tv remote control it appears text on tv: "the volume of the sound is constant" + warning sign.  It is just annoying 

I have a Ray and 2 Sonos speakers. The Ray is connected with an optic cable to my TV and my Sonos speakers are connected via wifi. I never have any issues with the Ray, however, my Sonos Era speakers constantly go out. I’ve invested so much time and money into these just for the sound to be miserable.I have upgraded my router to a high-end one that is supposed to be great for distance and wall penetration. I’ve also moved my router in hopes that would help. I have tried buying wifi extensions just in case it was a signal issue, but all signs say the signal is fine. I feel like I’ve done any troubleshooting step there is. Can anybody help? 😩

Hej jeg har problemer med at forbinde min sonos sub til min sonos arc efter jeg er flyttet. Inden jeg er flyttet virkede der helt perfekt. jeg kan godt forbinde sub til mine play 1 højttalere, så den virker som den skal, men ligeså snart jeg forbinder min sub til min arc, så virker min sub ikke.  er der nogen som kan hjælpe? Moderator Edit: Translation by Google Translate- HiI'm having trouble connecting my sonos sub to my sonos arc after I moved. Before I moved it worked perfectly. I can connect the sub to my play 1 speakers so it works as it should, but as soon as I connect my sub to my arc, my sub doesn't work. Can anyone help?

I have 2 x sonos One (different rooms) that respond to voice command ok EXCEPT they will not play/cease/change music input. They announce the new station, but nothing changes. I have spent 2 days on this following a router replacement, and this is the only remaining problem…. other kit is play 3 and a Connect, now all fine again. System has been in place about 6 years with no problems. Alexa enabled as voice assist on Sonos…..sonos skill added to devices.music sources required are amazon music, bbc sounds,( radio 4, radio 3.) 

Can anyone hjelp? I have a "line in" audio signal on my Sonos Port. Now, I don't find the line in as an option in the Android app. What is wrong? Another "update" by Sonos?  

I have my Sonos system wit my beam and surround plays and two bookshelf speakers. However, my Sonos Play seems trapped on a second system. Nowhere on the app am I allowed to delete the second system or to merge them so I’m unable to use my PLAY. I’ve factory reset it a number of times but it says it’s added to the WiFi but not the system. It’s the speaker I use for music and I’m getting nowhere with it.  any help or advice would be much appreciated! thanksChris

Why is it not possible to see the battery left on the roam 2 on an android device when connected over bluetooth(without using the app or asking vc)? I feel like much cheaper speakers are able to do this, it shouldn’t be a problem.Also, it would be nice to have a battery health page, that shows the maximum available capacity compared to stock.Otherwise pretty satisfied.

Have seen numerous comments on setting up a record player but need to add a receiver to the mix for signal boost. I have Kenwood KD-3070 turntable with RCA jacks and a Onkyo TX-SV444 receiver with many input/output ports. See pictures. I am guessing I connect the turntable to receiver (RCA) then receiver to ? to connect to my SONOS 100 speakers. Looking for guidance please with clear non-audiophile description. what connects to what description. I would assume that the connection from the new SONOS device would connect to SONOS speakers via WiFi? Thank You very much for input.

Hi Everyone,I have been using YouTube music on my Sonos Move 1 for a very long time. Recently google assistant and YouTube Music stopped working - Say around either later 2025 Dec or Early 2026 Jan. I have had a few issues in the past using YouTube music on Sonos and familiar with the standard fixes like remove accounts and re-authentication google etc,. Som after the remove/add accounts, the Google Assistant works but not YT Music. So this seems to be down to YT Music this time.I use Google Premium family. The Google account I have linked to Sonos is a member account. This account works perfectly on one of the iPhone’s YouTube Music App, so I know YT Music and this account have no issues. This is the same iPhone I used to setup the Sonos App and authenticate YouTube music Services to Sonos.This time around I can’t even play any YT music from the Sonos App. Says “Connection to YouTube was Lost” But YouTube music Apps works on the same device no issues.I found this troubleshooting link

My Sub Mini has never connected to Arc.  I have a red flashing light and it says Sub not found.  I do a factory reset and get a flashing white light, but still the same. 

My Play:5 Gen 2 was flawless for years, then suddenly started to drop streaming music a couple of years ago.  It’s frustrating as I see lots of others experiencing the same thing.  This is happening regardless of of the streaming music service; except when I use shuffle on my Pandora Stations!?  When a single station is selected (Pandora or otherwise), then it starts cutting out again.  Is that a clue? What’s different?  We have a 1Gbps internet, and Wifi mesh system to extend coverage.  I can’t believe it’s solely due to my network as Sonos keeps saying. Maybe Sonos reduced buffering a couple of years ago? Is there a way to increase buffering?

I am trying to stream from the Apple Classical app on my iPhone via AirPlay to Sonos Connect. Doesn’t work at all.

 Hi,Came back from 3 weeks vacation and wanted to listen to some nice music while unpacking. But my Sonos app did not show any of my speakers. I had to reboot the router and reinstall the app to make it work again.But: a day later same problem, all speakers gone.What is going on here?

Is there a plan to improve the volume control on app?
