I have Play 3, sub and playbar in the lounge and the same set up upstairs, except the rears are Play 1. For months the sound in both rooms has been unstable, with songs cutting out for about ten seconds and the sound returning, sometimes stopping completely or the sound stopping in the rears and only coming out of the playbar, only to revert to normal a few seconds later. I use the S2 app. If I use the back button to start a track again it usually plays normally. Wireless has been checked in the house and is working as it should. Any suggested resolutions welcome. Thank you. 

I have my ARC connected to my TV. Is there a way to mute the TV sound, and stream music to my ARC? Essential looking to listen to music and have the TV on with no volume. TIA

When I look at my sono, I Can not turn on the microfon. It doesn’t turn Blue or give any Sound when I pres “the buttom” 

I must be missing something obvious.  i have added all sorts of playlists, etc to “My Sonos,” but “My Sonos” does not appear in the iOS app. It’s on the desktop app, but not iOS. 

HiI recently installed have a Sonos Arc and Sub setup with two one SL surrounds. Is it possible to connect one Sonos play 5 to the system. Will the app allow it to be paired with the arc. If so possible how can it be done?  I recently went to a friends place and he had two sonos sub and two fives as surrounds which gave awesome sound for music. I was hoping to add one 5 to the setup as I cant return my one SL now and so that I could get more sound especially for music.  

I have a surround setup on my TV (Arc, 2 x Ones and Base). I recently bought a Sonos Move.When playing music on YouTube via my TV i would like to ability to add my Sonos Move as its positioned another part of my open plan kitchen and living area.I know i can select each Sonos device and group when playing via my mobile but how can I do that when playing through my TV? BTW: I am aware Move cannot be connected to surround setup.

I recently purchased the Pro-Ject 1 turntable and Sonos Five.Frankly, I am disappointed in how loud the system is…it’s in a rather cavernous room. Would adding a Sonos sub and another Five make it “louder” or do I need to abandon ship and get some standing floor speakers to get the sound I’m looking for?

REPOST of a previous thread, but after all it was not resolved.Hi, I have an issue with my Sonos soundbar setup.I have a 2021 Samsung AU8000 TV, Sonos Beam Gen 2 (Sonos HDMI cable) and Apple TV 4K 2022 (connected via HDMI 2.1 cable).I have just upgraded from Apple TV 4K 2017 and I started having a strange sound issue with eARC, Pass-through and Dolby Atmos enabled. The sound is distorted - high pitched and out-of-sync.If I disable any of the mentioned options, it goes back to normal. Also, this applies only to content from ATV, all internal Samsung apps sound fine.I’ve upgraded my ATV HDMI cable (no change), updated Sonos to 15.10, re-adopted my Sonos System and tried myriad different options on the TV or ATV.So in conclusion, the only change was upgrading Apple TV from 2017 to 2022 model and the issue appeared. Additional findings:Tried resetting via @GuitarSuperstar method. It now sometimes works fine (multi-channel PCM), other times switches back to Stereo PCM, other times glitches

Hi all,I have a question. We are constructing a new house which has a medium/large kitchen area. I want a stereo setup in this kitchen. The speakers will have to be placed close to the ceiling (cannot do in-ceiling), the ceiling is quite high at 3,30m.I’m considering a pair of ERA 100’s (mounted at around 3,20m height) combined with a Sub Gen3. However, I cannot find any info online about this setup. Is this not a suitable setup? Or will it work? Or what other setup would you advise?Thanks in advance. Job 

The Sonos app seems to become more unstable by each update. Almost weekly I need to uninstall the app and reinstall. I cannot connect to my existing system as it cannot find any speakers.For example today it could not find my Arc so I setup a new install, waiting for the green light, it found the Arc, connected, connected to my network (2.4 ghz) and then I selected DONE. I go back to look at System and it is still greyed out. Nothing there. I have checked and restarted both my phone and modem 3 times. I repeated setup 3 times and the same process of finding and adding the Arc occurred by then System greyed out and cannot select it.  My setup:Samsung S23 UltraSonos Arc with Sonos Sub Mini2 x Sonos Move2’s set up as a stereo pair I tried Sonos support and they don’t have a clue -- rarely can they fix anything from my experience. I am at the end of my rope having to reinstall and run setup so many times (i think I am at around 15 times now) and I have had to do the same on the Move2’s 6 t

Hi - I am considering purchasing the ARC soundbar to set up surround sound for my TV.  I already have in-wall wired rear speakers as well as in-wall wired third party subwoofer.   I had a couple of questions on set up:1. I think I can set up the rear speakers using a Sonos AMP that will connect to the ARC, but then how do I connect the third party subwoofer - do I connect it through that the Sonos AMP that the rear speakers are connected to or does it somehow connect to the ARC?I’ve read elsewhere on these blogs that if I use the TV remote to control the sound of the TV, that the ARC volume changes but the rear and subwoofer volumes need to controlled separately on my Sonos App.  Is that true? Is there a workaround for that? For the subwoofer, if the setup in #1 doesn’t work for the TV, would this set up work for music at least? 

I want to connect a Sonos 5 to a legacy hifi amp which has a turntable and cd player connected to it. The cd player has an optical connection, not RCA. The speaker wire terminals on the amp are spring loaded not RCA. Is there a way of connecting this to the 5's 3.5mm input? 

Today's issue: Have a beam and 2 Ones, connected beam to router via ethernet and HDMI to arc HMDI on TV. Things tend to work BUT I have 2 issues that keep happening. 1) TV box (android box from Bell) keeps resetting and/or picture and sound stop for a second or two before coming back on OR TV box resets and produces a solid green screen and sometimes a nice bright magenta colour. 2) when listening to music via sonos app all of a sudden the sound will stop playing music and TV will start all on its own. Had Bell technican (I am in Toronto) here this am to trouble shoot new router with direct fiber connecting 1GB service and still having the issue.

I have recently bought an ARC and have it connected to an LG TV.This works fine, but when looking at the instructions to switch on Speech Enhancement. I do not get the box at the bottom of the screen to then select the Speech Enhancement option. The app is on IOS, which is 17.1.1 and the Sonos App and the Arc and sub are both at the latest versions.I can see what is playing on a PLAY 1 and open the similar box to what is being suggested here:https://support.sonos.com/en-ie/article/make-dialogue-easier-to-hear-with-speech-enhancement?language=enAny help would be appreciated.Thanks. 

I was using my sonos roam by bluetooth to play an audio from youtube video and all of the sudden it’s broken. It let out a loud sound and i can’t even turn off the device. I tried pressing and holding the power button for sometime and it’s still not getting off. The device shows a blue light but it is not blinking like when it was when we want to connect through bluetooth. This happened around 1 hour of using it. I had this speaker for around 3-4 weeks already. How to fix it?  Moderator edit: combined posts

How can I connect my play 1 speakers  to a play 5 ? It's not compatible or what ?

Hi,I’m currently having this issue in which my lg hu70lab projector can no longer play sound to the era 300 using bluetooth even when connected, which has worked before. Both devices are able to connect and play sound to other devices such as my phone, earbuds, and other speakers. I’ve also factory reset both the projector and era 300 with no fix. From the little I’ve gathered from other forums; the only reason left can be the new 15.10 sonos system update messing with some bluetooth connections. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! 

Hello all - S2 App IOS / Version 15.5 / Build 73042060The past few weeks, under SiriusXM, when I choose the “Live and Xtra Channels” option, I receive an error “Sorry, something went wrong.  Please try again”.  It will not load the channel line up.However, I can at times still pull up channels based on recent or favorites and play successfully.Thoughts on the issue and/or resolution?

I purchased a Sonos Move so I could listen to podcasts that are on the Patreon app, but the Sonos app does not offer Patreon as an option. Am I out of luck? If so, I’m going to return this item. 

I was able to get my Sonos Move back online, but I can’t get the rest of the system back online. I have unplugged the playbar, reconnected and plugged in an ethernet cable. It flashes white, then goes to solid white, then I go through the Product Set Up and select Playbar, press and release the two buttons that make it flash orange, and then it finally goes to solid orange. I just don’t know how to get my system back online and I’m so frustrated. Any advice is appreciated!

This is a silly question but I will ask.Which way around should the pole end cap face for the Sonos ERA 300 Speaker stands.There is a notch for the cable to pass through. Does the notch go over the cable channel or does it face the direction of the rear of the speakers.Also does the wide part of the cable fit into the channel or does the thing edge go into the channel.Thank you to everyone who can provide me with the answer.

Good day all. Can you help us. I’m 70 years old and struggling to get my S1 to work/connect to my new WI-FI. We have 3 other units which do work ok. All I get is Orange, Green Or White flashing lights but can not get past this. I have done full resets but no joy. thank you. 

About 2 days ago while watching a show, my Sub Mini and both One SLs just seemed to lose connection. The Arc was still working fine so I went into the app and sure enough it said there were 3 issues. Cool, so I went in to "fix it" but I kept receiving an error that no products could be found and to try again later. Fine, we were about to go to bed so I tried again yesterday, same issue. I attempted to research and troubleshoot this for hours yesterday and have started back this morning.. I'm becoming exhausted. This has never happened before and NOTHING has changed with my network. The Arc still shows "Excellent Connection" in the app.At this point, I've tried resetting the router and modem and even factory resetting the speakers. When I factory reset the sub for example, I do get a message that prompts me to set up the sub mini. So cool, its definitely being recognized. It connects to the wifi! Getting excited I proceed thinking I'm making progress.. then I go into my settings > sy

I didn’t save the box my Sonos Move came in and I have to return it?  Any suggestions for a secure box?
