I have an ARC and Sub 3 in my living room.  My wife and I purchased it to maximize vocal clarity for TV and movie viewing.  Plus, I purchased it to enhance action movie viewing.  If I purchased 2 ERA 100s and used as back surround speakers, will these speakers improve or retard vocal clarity?  I can’t afford the expense of ERA 300s at this point.

Following up on this thread - ​@Corry P - Any update here?My kids don’t have phones / the sonos app, but they want to listen to their own music in their own rooms. Considering getting them each an era 100 for their rooms so they listen using voice control.I like that SVC processes voices locallyI dont want to set up Alexa or google voice.reviewing that thread above I see there’s limitations using SVC streaming different songs to different speakers using spotify, wondering if that’s been solved? Might it behave differently with Apple music?Has this limitation of SVC been addressed?   

I have a new Samsung TV that does not have an optical out but does have an HDMI earc. How do I connect the audio?

Hello,I have a Panasonic tv with Arc hdmi but not eARC one and I mainly use the Amazon Firestick 4k plugged into my tv to see movies. Is there any way to enjoy the sound quality of Dolby atmos movies with my Sonos arc ultra with this configuration ?  Best,Xavkyo

New Arc Ultra owner here. Is the Upgrade / Trade Up program still a thing? I can’t find anything in my account on it. I’m in Canada.

I have a stereo pair of legacy Sonos One SL’s in a room called “Computer Room”. I cannot use Sonos voice control to control those speakers from other rooms in my house that have voice control enabled Sonos speakers and soundbars. I've tried changing the room name but still no luck. I have no trouble controlling the other rooms remotely. This should work. I am running with the latest firmware update on all speakers 92.0-71170. Any ideas?

Hi everyone,for the past couple of months I’ve been experiencing a strange issue with my Sonos One with Alexa built in. It looks like Alexa has automatically enabled Follow-Up Mode (the mode where, after a command, it chimes again and keeps listening without saying the wake word).The problem is that there is no option to enable or disable Follow-Up Mode on the Sonos One, and I never turned it on.This is what happens:after giving any command, Alexa plays the chime again and stays in listening mode, as if waiting for a second command.I’ve tried everything:• Factory reset of the Sonos One• Resetting the Alexa app• Removing and re-adding the device• Various reboots, network resets, etc.Nothing worked.Has anyone experienced this or knows how to fix it?It’s getting really annoying because it keeps listening after every command.Thanks!

The app is on Iphone. Pretty sure it never used to do this.

… and yes I have reinstalled the whole system and yes it’s all on one wi-fi network.  It’s better than it was a year ago, but it still poops the bed regularly.  Is it going to get any better, or is this Sonos now?

If I change the audio and playback settings in the Android tidal app does that also change the bitrate of Sonos playback when using Tidal connect? My understanding is that it doesn't and that Sonos will use the highest bitrate file available for the Tidal subscription being used; but as for some bizarre and unhelpful reason Sonos S1 (does S2 still do this?) keeps the bitrate of a playing track a secret, it's hard to know for sure? Anyone know the answer to this?

No one seems able to help me with this on a Sunday, but I’m trying to migrate all my Sonos speakers from one WiFi network to another.   I’ve been on the Chat with several agents for hours.   Evert time starting the whole sorry tale over- Chat Bot to real person.  One agent told me to unplug the router.   Great! So the chat disconnects and start and I over yet again.   I live with both dyslexia and dyscalculia, but no alliance is made for this.   We are changing our broadband provider from Sky (due to cost and poor speeds) to Pkusnet (will be full fibre etc).  To take advantage of the speeds from day one, I have purchased a TO Deco mesh system (3 units)  I have the first plugged by Ethernet into the Sky (for now) router.    The new WiFi network works perfectly.   All WiFi tech is able to join (desktops, iPads, android and Apple phones etc).  Now comes the problem.  In the Sonos app I was able to get the Beam to join the new network and a SL in a different room.   However, very long stor

Hi folks,I have had a bit of a saga with my Sonos Connect working with my Sonos system. Quick Summary:Upon purchase, successfully added Sonos Connect Gen 2 to system that includes 2 Play:1s, one Play:5, and a Roam.  After some time, the Line In showed as Disconnected, and ultimately the Connect needed a system update that it could not execute. This was resolved with Sonos Support after successfully updating while connected via Ethernet.  Several weeks later, the Sonos Connect Line-In again showed disconnected and needed a system update that it could not execute via Wi-Fi. This time nothing worked (all the flavors of reboots on the phone with Sonos Support).  Out of curiosity, I took the Connect to another house and connected it to my in-laws’ Sonos system, on which it successfully updated and added to the system via Wi-Fi, When I took the Connect back to my home, hard reset, and tried to add to my system, it still shows as Not Registered (which it didn’t on my in-laws’ system). It no l

What is the optimum speaker setup as to Sub distance from soundbar and surround speakers. Does it matter where they are placed?

HelloMy sonos arc is new . It fonction for 3 days then today no tv sound only music by Bluetooth but impossible to have tv sound. Can someone help me pleased Ty

Looking for a 2025 response - I have managed to use an extender to have one room in my kitchen while the rest connect to the router.  For a variety of reasons I am considering trying a Powerline Extender (Netgear to be the same as my other devices).  I would switch the extender into Access Point mode.  I should then have the same single network SSIDs (not new ones from the Extender).  I am thinking this should help if the Powerline works.  Live in a cement house so can add ethernet easily.   I read many posts from years ago and wondering if anything has change or any views on this in today’s world with the current S2 app etc.      Thanks in advance.

One of my era 300 is set up, it  works fine, the sound is ok, but the indicator light flashes very quickly (green and orange) randomly, also when this happens, it happens with a sound like a click when the color changes.

As of a couple days ago I can no longer connect to PLEX.   I get“Something went wrong. Try Again” when click on artists from my favoritesand“No content items available” when clicking on Plex iconI can cast to my sonos speakers from the Plex app (not plexamp) on my computer.If gone through all the suggested steps I could find from the internet.  I guess my question is to see if anyone else is experiencing it or if it's just me (and for how long).  If its everyone, then hopefully its (another) screw up and they’ll get around to fixing it eventually. super frustrating that something that has worked for years just stopped working especially when its the reason I went with Sonos.

Hi all, I bought an Arc Ultra about a month ago and hooked it up to my Hisense TV. I have it plugged into the eARC port, CEC and all that is turned on. The only other thing plugged into the TV is an Apple TV 4K which is how we watch everything on the TV. About once per day the TV shuts off. The audio comes through the soundbar but you can’t actually use the TV again until you unplug it and plug it back in. Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks. 

Hi as per title - Is anyone having problem with Apple Music Recently Added? I'm getting Something went wrong. Try again.I normally use this ‘feature’ a lot I add new music in Apple Music app and then switch to Sonos to play it. I’ve been away a few days and just got back and I’m now getting this error. Everything else is OK. I tried removing and re adding service but same error. I’ve log the problem with Sonos support. Thanks

Hello, I have a problem with my Sonos Arc. After resetting it, I can't add it to the app. I've tried everything and nothing works. Could you please advise me on how to do this? 

This problem is new to me. When I either scan my NAS library for more music, or remove the library and reattach it, I get two or three albums which index incorrectly. Specifically:The album appears 3 times in the album list Each instance contains the SAME single track (not different tracks, as would be the case if there was an AlbumArtist tagging issue) The other tracks in the album aren't shown anywhere The album can be seen in full and played from the folder navigation No changes have been made to the folder structure or tagging on the original filesI've attached screenshots. The key point seems to be each instance contains the same single track, not different tracks as happens if the tagging on a compilation album is incorrect. This usually corrects itself if I go into the underlying file structure and move the MP3 files into a newly created folder (a tip I saw elsewhere in this forum). But when I rescan to get that change included in the music library, another album or two will go

I have a speaker group in 3 rooms. I use AirPlay to send audio to the AirPlay-compatible speaker in one room (bedroom), and then have the other two rooms (living room and office) in the same group.  For some reason this group does not stay in place. Every time I play music, I see that Sonos has undone the group and I have to configure it again.   Is there a trick to getting the group to stay configured as such? And keep it permanently?

I used my upgrade credit a while back for my play 5. Still have the device, am I able to give to someone else to use or can it only be put in the bin?  

As the title says. When using a wired (usb c - c  the one that came with the product) the rocker button on the headphones will only turn the volume down. I can turn the volume up and down with the phones (Pixel 10 pro) physical buttons and also when using Bluetooth. But can't raise volume when wired.  Anyone else?
