Hi, i have an older LG tv. No HDMI ARC on this one.  I have an OREI HDA 912 set up. Have my tv receiver connected to HDMI IN. I have HDMI OUT connected to the tv. I have an optical cable plugged into the Beam and OREI.   I can get picture, but no audio.  That said I have had audio before, using another audio extractor and it worked consistently. That set up was using an amazon firestick instead of the tv receiver.  Since exchanging the firestick for the tv receiver i have had audio working using both the old extractor and the new OREI i just got. However i loose the audio eventually. For example, turned the tv off last night, beam audio was fine.  This morning i have no audio. I have no idea how to test for audio and can’t seem to reverse engineer the set up that produces audio. last night was the first time i used the OREI. It didnt work at first but i slowly changed from TV to Bitsream to LPCM. I gave up after a while and left it on bitstream and it magically started to work several

Greetings all… This topic may have been covered, but i haven’t been able to find a clear answer. I have an Onkyo receiver connecting to a Samsung TV. I have multiple HDMI sources (Firestick, Sony Blu-ray DVD and DirecTv) connecting to the receiver. I understand I cannot connect any wired speakers to the receiver, I would like to use it as a AV switch.What would be the best way to connect these devices together? 

The only thing I can find for searching for atmos content is to manually scroll through every atmos recording ever made.   I can't find a way to search for atmos recordings from for a specific composer or artist.   Have I missed something or is this just the state of things?

I'm just trying to listen to music.   Suddenly Sonos is making me reauthorize all of my accounts.   Every time I try to search for something I have to reauthorize another account.   Is this what I'm paying for when I buy a Sonos product? 

Hello all. So I am new to the whole ‘soundbar’ game. I recently went to Best Buy to get their advice on what kind of soundbar and receiver to get for what I was trying to do, and they recommended getting a Denon receiver (AVR-S650H) and Sonos Arc soundbar. My goal was to have the soundbar connected to the TV and also to the receiver (because we use the receiver to play the radio through, and when we turn on the radio on the receiver, we’re wanting the radio to play through the soundbar). So, I have successfully connected the Arc soundbar to my TV (which I did via the HDMI Arc cable) to play the TV’s sound through it (and there have been no issues with this). But I am also wanting to connect the soundbar to my Denon AVR-S650H receiver (again, to have the radio come through the soundbar), but I am having difficulty on how to do this. How can I connect the Arc soundbar to the radio receiver without disconnecting it from my TV? Thank you

Can you separately control volume of each speaker in same room.?Arc → eras → sub

I strongly object when wanting to listen to a newscast at the top of the hour, to miss the headlines etc. because a long commercial is heard.  I do not accept this. Further the application (at lleast on iPhone) has no parameter to switch this off. I admit I no longer use Sonos or less and less because of this. I would like complete explanations. Regards 

I just bought a one sl and already had four Play:1,’s.  I want to stream from airplay to all five speakers, I thought I could do that.  So far airplay on my iPhone only recognizes one sl not all of them

hello, everyone! i just bought my very 1st Sonos, Beam (Gen 2) last year. everythings went well except my TV’s remote can’t control the volume, so i always using the app to turn up/down the volume. i’m using Sony Bravia VU3 with RF remote and i’m kind of tired with this problem. can anyone help me here? maybe another device could solve this? oh, and i already tried to setup my remote via app thousands of time and never succeed.

I’ve downloaded a 12 hour white noise playlist on Spotify, every night I notice that it gets about 3 hours in and then just stops playing. I know the songs are not corrupt because if I play the playlist on another device, it plays all the way through. I changed broadband providers (not because of this issue) and issue still happens. I have good internet connection so wouldn’t have thought this was why. System updated.  Why does it happen?! I always wake up to the silence! 

I have two One SL’s running on wireless.  Both connected to the same router and on the 2.4ghz channel.  The cast button within the Pandora app has disappeared.  Pandora within the Sonos app still works.  Downloaded Spotify and it casts to either device.  The cast button appears and is functional if I power down either One SL.  I’ve rebooted everything and did factory resets on both units.

I needed to delete and reinstall the Sonos app cuz that’s the only way to get it to update. Deleting it was easy but when I went to the Apple app store, I can’t find the app. What am I missing??Marc

I have tried resetting with fast forward/pause button and join button neither effect speaker. I am trying to move it into another room

I have purchased the Era 300 but sonos won't let me set it up up due to an update required on the system. It says my play 5 is incompatible I think it's missed some updates as I have had it switched off for six months. I can't remove update the play five I get error 30. I have tried updating with network cable still not working I'm stuch help would be much appreciated. 

Hi!I am trying to find a way to play a web stream which is in flac. I’ve read that it is distributed in some sort of ogg container. According to this article tunein in Sonos does not explicitly support flac: Add an Internet radio station to Sonos | Sonos Is there a way to play flac web streams in Sonos? The link I am trying to play is this one from the Swedish public radio:edge2.sr.se/p2-flac

I am not new to home theater, but I am new to Sonos.  We having a custom build started and I will be meeting with the low voltage supplier in a couple of weeks and I am trying to see what Sonos system would work for my needs.  In the loft upstairs (22’x18’), we will have a TV on one wall and a sofa on the opposite wall.  What Sonos system would work best for that room?  We are also thinking about having a few other Sonos speakers around the house so I want to know what’s a good setup to have Airplay2 added in the system as well.  Thanks in advance! 

We have a Beam and Play:3 speaker in the same large room. When they are grouped together playing music, (streaming spotify for example) both sound perfectly in sync and great together. If you were to play the TV audio through the same speakers, all of a sudden are not in sync anymore and it sounds like an echo in the room where you have to make a point to turn off one of the speakers. This isnt set up as surround sound either, all speakers should just be playing the same.Why does it work perfectly on music but not when playing TV audio. I don’t see anything that you can do to fix it in the settings, am I missing something? 

I have a large music library on my iMac and playlist on my iPhone.  How can I set the library in my iMac to a shuffle from my iPhone?

I have an SVS SUB LB PB-16 Ultra.  I want to continue to use this Sub but the Arc does not have a sub out of course.  Can I Connect(Bond) the Arc to the Amp wirelessly and use the Sub Out on the Amp JUST for my Sub?thanks

I have a Beam soundbar and a sub mini. It shows both as connected on the app but there is no sound coming from the sub mini. 

I have been using the Sonos app with Pandora, Amazon, and Sirius music services for a long time. Recently. I cannot connect to the services via the Sonos app. I receive an error message “Unable to browse music there was a problem connecting to [music service].”  Has anyone run into this issue?

To simplify all the cabling and get rid of my giant space hogging AVR, I’m contemplating switching from my existing discreet 5.1.2 system to a Sonos Arc, Sub Gen 3, and a two Era 300 setup.  But my living room is long and shallow so I don't have room behind the sofa to mount the era 300’s (the sofa is against the wall).  My current surround speakers are on stands facing the sofa from each side and the AVR knows that position and accommodates accordingly.My question is when you set up Era 300’s as surrounds does the Sonos software know where they are in relation to the listener?  or maybe this is handled using Trueplay and the built in Mics? Would angling them at 45 degrees on their stands about 1.5 feet off the rear walls 3 feet or so on either side of the sofa work.

Hi, I connect 2 100era and mini sub to Ray and everything is working perfectly but if it’s connected that way I can’t control volume individually to get perfect sound where I’m sitting  i understand if I connect them individually I’m able to control volume on all 4 and I have filing that music is coming from everywhere (full room filing or whatever is called) but I don’t get filing like surround system can I make 1 group surround systems and one group to connect them separately basically if I want surround system I have to add everytime  all my era100 + mini sub to Ray and then later when I want to play music from all 4 of them I have to disconnect them from group to be able to control volume individually
