Hi Guys i have installed ceiling speakers and an amp in my ceiling space of closed in patio. we use it for airplay streaming and it works perfectly. Just wondering the best way to connect the TV in that area to those speakers as we didn’t run a HDMI from the TV have read people have purchased a Sonos soundbar and connected to a TV and then the soundbar and amp/ceiling speakers connect wirelessly.  would like to check this is correct and if so can we purchase any sound bar or is there only specific ones this will work with

Treble adjustment not working on S1 app for 'old' play 5 systems.   The 'Bass' slider and the balance slider as well as the loudness knob do have a clear effect but the moving the 'treble' slider has no noticeable affect at all.

Sonos, After all this waiting. And after multiple articles. And after multiple phone calls to your service reps (including today), I’m now being told that you cannot group your Sonos system devices with your Google Home devices (after being told for months and more than a year that the aid be able to group them). Even the rep I spoke with today tried to help me and didn’t find out it wasn’t possible until he spoke to a system engineer. You can do it with Amazon devices, but STILL not with Google devices In all honesty, what is the point of adding Google assistant to Sonos if you can’t even use Sonos speakers with Google Speakers together in a group? It’s pretty useless for me to be in living room, have to get up and walk to my kitchen to say “hey google, play x in my Living Room” and then walk back.

So I just set up the Sonos Arc soundbar that supports eARC. It works with my 2020 65" Frame TV until I change the eARC setting on the Frame TV to Auto. The sound mutes and I can't get it to play until I turn eARC off. Anyone else have this issue? I’ve messed around with this for a few hours to no avail. 

I would like to purchase the Sonos Era 300 stands but am concerned about their stability on carpet, given the speaker’s weight.  I know Sanus makes a version with carpet spikes but the speaker height is too low for my setup.  Does anyone have experience with using the Sonos stands on thick carpet? 

Hi all, Adding my hat to the ring for this already existing topic...I’m this close to going back to a Bluetooth solution for my audio needs because this issue is super lame … I used to think my older MacBookPro running MacOS Mojave had something to do with my problems, but I’ve just upgraded to a brand new 2023 MBP running the latest MacOS Sonoma 14.2 and the same problem persists… _ I stream my video to a projector and send audio through AirPlay to an early 2023 Beam, two SL One’s for surround, & a Sub Mini - WHEN it works, it works great._ I use Safari 17.2 for my video stream_ I briefly tried Firefox but did not see an improvement so went back to my go-to Safari._ I’ve tested with Amazon Prime, ATV+, Hulu, and Netflix and the problem is there. The issue is not with the content providers._ If you pause the video stream for ANY duration then upon resuming video, the audio will have dropped out… every single time. The ONLY way I have found to re-establish the audio connection is to

TV remote and group control issue. Limited high frequency sound reproduction. My Sonos system consists of a Beam (Gen 2), two One SL speakers, and a sub mini.  All are connected for sound to a Samsung LED TV (QN65 Q60 series) via HDMI e-Arc).  My internet connection is wireless.  Using the Sonos 2 App on an iPhone 12.I just purchased a pair of Era 100s, hoping to add as additional surrounds, so I would have 4 surround speakers in total.  However, the Sonos 2 App apparently will connect the Era 100 speakers only in separate rooms. So, after going through the automatic set up routine, I now have Family Room 1 control for the Beam, One SL (LS), One SL (RS) and the sub mini. The set up routine creates Family Room 2 for one of the Era 100 speakers and Family Room 3 for the other. I cannot find a way to add the Era 100s to Family Room 1.  I have been connected all the components to the Sonos 2 App using the group option by including Family Rooms 1, 2 and 3 in a group.  But this causes two is

Hi - would love to buy a Sonos speaker to connect to my Bluetooth record player and then handoff via WiFi to my pair of Play:1s in another roomIs that possible?! If so would a Roam work ?Many thanks

Hello! this is a two part question(1) I am looking to install an Arc + Sub Gen 3 + In Ceiling Speakers (+ amp), but I am uncertain how many in ceiling speakers would be sufficient for my living room. The room size is 24”x13” (322 sqft or 30 sqm). Would you suggest 2 or 4 speakers for this size room? (2) I spoke to someone on the phone at Sonos and they said that given this set up, the in ceiling speakers could not be used as “true surrounds”. He said they will produce sound but cant be set as dedicated surrounds and would only play the normal left and right as the tv would. However, everything i have read online suggests that he might be incorrect. Can anyone confirm if there is an option to set the in ceiling speakers as dedicated surrounds in the Arc + Sub Gen 3 + In Ceiling speaker set up? Thank you for your help!Joe

Dear community members,I’m living in a 2 floor house in wich I have several SONOS system. Same Wifi available on the 2 floors.1st floor : ARC, SUB, 2 One + 1 One in the kitchen. ARC + kitchen are connected to ALEXA2nd floor : 1 Move connected to Alexa, 1 ONE connected to ALEXA, 2 “old” ONE (not connected because not possible when they were launched) When I’m in a room in which the SONO is connected to Alexa and request Alexa to lauch radio or Music, Music starts in another room sometimes on the other floor ! I get crazy ! And often when I then request to stop, ALEXA doesn’t understand or stops music on another SONO.Another frequent issue : when I ask a question to ALEXA, it takes sometime more then 30 seconds to get an answer, often nothing happens ! More then one year ago, I never faced these issues, even with the same configuration !Does someone face the same issue ?

I’m about to install Logitech Circle View Doorbell and Camera. I’d like to utilize one or more of my Sonos One Speakers through AirPlay on Apple HomeKit. Is this possible?  I’d like to avoid buying Apple’s Home Hub.

HelloI have a Sonos Amp. I have connected it to my Firestick 4K on my Benq HD Projector via Line Out, and on the Sonos app I have set the audio delay to 75ms. It is working brilliantly, the lip-sync is spot on.However, the two speakers in the room are wall-mounted and are not in the desired location for the projector screen (they are from an old hi-fi). They are good speakers. Moving the speakers to the right location would be very disruptive, I’d have to cut holes in ceiling and walls.So….I am looking to buy a couple of Era 300 or a pair of Five speakers, and using these with my projector instead, pairing them, and using the line-in. This would allow me to place the speakers on stands either side of the projector screen (so in front of and facing the people watching the films). HOWEVER everything I read says this setup isn’t really suited to TV.I’m not using a TV, I’m using a projector, and the room setup means a soundbar isn’t possible (the projector screen drops down in front of a d

Question:Does the Move 2 actually join a Wifi 6Ghz band or is just compatible with a router that supports WiFi 6 and will default to 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz?

So I have a Playbase and happy with it and still works, but wondering what could works best with it when thinking of todays updates. Would it be able to take advantage of anything the 300’s offer? Wondering if it is worth reconfiguring it…. I can connect:Sub-MiniOne’sEra100sEra300s 

Hi team, I just got a Sonos Arc and two Era 100s to use as surrounds, but as I’ve been using it I've noticed that the only sound I’m getting is Stereo PCM. While this does still sound 100x better than what I used to have, I would like to get as much quality sound as I can out of this system. Here’s my set up as of now: Sonos Arc → HDMI 3 ARC Port (no eARC port, old plasma tv)Apple TV 4K → HDMI 2Era 100s as rear surrounds (back left and right)I have it true tuned and everything as well. Is there any way to get a higher sound quality than base Stereo PCM with only my ARC Port and no eARC? Also, as a side question, Should I keep the Eras behind or should I move closer to the sides or the front as front left and right channels? Thanks in advance for any and all advice!!

I have discovered the craziest thing—I have lossless apple compressed songs in my local music library that I know are supported bit depth and sample rate—but when I try to play them by using “Music Library” as the source, it says “unsupported”. However, when I use Plex as the music source and play the same exact song, it plays it just fine. Does anyone here hasve any explanation or fix for this?! I REALLY do not want to re-encode these into lower quality files, and my major playlists are all in my itunes/apple library (which is how many of the songs are accessed)Thanks!

Sometimes the audio stops working on Beam Gen 2 when streaming Netflix or Amazon Prime. The audio will still work on Direct TV when this occurs. The Beam is connected to a Samsung TV with Dolby Atmos capability via HDMI eARC. 

I have the two AMPs and SUB playing house music via Ethernet in the main bedroom. There is a motorized screen with projector in the headboard and four ceiling speakers. No place for a soundbar. What is the easiest way to autoswitch the audio source from Sonos music to HDMI Roku streaming stick? I have gotten the two AMPs to sense and switch the line out stereo from the projector but want 4.1 surround. Do I need an HDMI ARC Audio Extractor? Will each AMP get its own HDMI feed? Can the surround AMP be configured to play only the surround HDMI signal? Will this gizmo help:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BNSY3VKW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A28K0QBH3Z1QKZ&psc=1Again, no place in this room for a soundbar (I own two ARCs for other rooms). The two projector HDMI ports do not say ARC. I now have the Roku stick connected to one of these ports.This is the closest thread but its 2-3 years old: 

When watching tv I use a group of speakers. I don’t want Era 100s to be surround, I want them to play full audio. The next day when I turn on TV, only the Arc plays and I have to find my phone which is usually upstairs on charger to add other speakers (group). Is there a way to make system resume playing the same group without having to re-group them daily? 

 I cannot add my music files to my Music Library. The files are on an external T7 4TB APFS- formatted SSD-disk, and I am running the Sonos S1 Controller App. My Mac OS system is Ventura 13.3. What can be wrong?

Hi guys,We have purchased a ARC and a Song A80L TV and was wondering if we can play the Sony featured inbuilt speakers Sony highly rate along with the ARC by using the HDMI(ARC) input?  any advice would be appreciated Joe

I've been experiencing an issue with my Sonos Arc where the Alexa voice assistant keeps turning off. Despite multiple attempts of uninstalling and reinstalling, the problem persists. Additionally, there are instances where the Arc spontaneously turns off and on throughout the evening. When this happens, I'm unable to turn it back on through the app and must resort to using the controls on the Arc itself. Notably, I previously had a Beam set up in the same manner, and it worked flawlessly. I'm wondering what might be causing this problem or if there's a potential issue with the Arc itself?

I have 4 Connect: Amp units - one of the four suddenly stopped working - it shows no power lights when plugged in. Moderator Edit: Combined thread with reply of OP.
