Hi , Looking to set up Arc + Sub + 2x One SL on my Panasonic TV. Will it support your his using the HDMI (ARC) port? thanks, amit

I have a Sonos Beam Gen 2 and two Sonos Ones as surrounds. My tv is a Philips 40PFL5xx6H model from 2011 - it has no optical port, has one HDMI and one HDMI ARC port.Everything is connected with wifi and bluetooth. The surround is set up. Trueplay done and all. . Steaming music from Spotify works wonderfully, but that's where the good news comes to an end. I've spend most of my day today trying to connect Sonos to my tv and it doesn't work.I have enabled CEC / EasyLink on my tv settings, have disabled the tv speakers and enabled the HDMI ARC plug where my Sonos beam is plugged into. (I accudently plugged it into the normal HDMI port first, but that didn't work and I have reset my Sonos and started over since)   I have disconnected everything else from the tv/HDMI ports: both chromecast and the receiver are currently disconnected and only Sonos is connected to the to.   The TV is set to use this HDMI port as source, and I see some close ups of Sonos products on my tv - so the TV and Son

How do I exit a Pandora account and enter a new Pandora account number?

My Sonos move that is synced with my Sonos home audio bar/speakers to my tv keeps cutting out for 5-10 seconds

Hi,i bought the Sonos Arc SL 2 weeks ago. Just the past 2 days i start noticing that the sound bar keeps getting disconnected from the TV for a few seconds (switch back to TV speaker), and then connects back itself. I did some research online and in the forum, it looks like i’m not alone. But i can’t find anybody has provided a solution yet. I’ve submitted a diagnostic report right after the issue has occurred: 710197482, can someone help me take a look whats going on, and how to solve it?i’ve tried power cycle the arc, turn off the “auto power off” feature on the HDMI port on the TV, made sure all firmwares are up to date. nothing helps my setup: Sonos Arc + Hisense projector TV(eARC HDMI) Thanks a lot

I have almost no playlists on my itunes so I don’t understand (max 10,15 playlist with something that 1000 or 2000 songs in totalà.

Hi my TV is above my fireplace and arc sitting on fireplace,  rears behind my couch in each corner close to ceiling. Is it + or - I use for the height audio settings? Thanks 

I have 1,000s of songs on a stand alone hard drive (no power). I want to play them on my Sonos, utilizing either a music source, an app, or hardware (3mm input jack).  I would like the functionality to search songs/albums/artists (just like an iPod).  Any suggestions?

My S2 app says our Sonos Port needs a software update, but after downloading the update, it says “finishing up,” and then repeatedly returns an “Update Problem” with an “Error Code 1” under “Update information.”   I’ve been unable to determine what this error code indicates.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, unplugged the router and Port, moved closer to the router - nothing has made a difference.  Our other Sonos products (Beam and Ray) are working fine.   I’d appreciate any suggestions on how to proceed.  

S1 Android app will not save stations to My Sonos.  When I go to the Stations section of My Sonos, the only stations appear in the list start with the letter “A” to “M”.  It seems to allow saving stations that start with the letter “A” to “M”, but not “N” to “Z”.  I have tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling, with the same results.

Hi, my playbar makes a continuous high pitched noise whenever plugged in. But, if I plug into a socket in a different room in my extension it doesn’t make the noise. But it does everywhere else. None of the rest of my set up is affected. Any ideas of how to solve out there?

I just got my Sonos Sub gen 3. At closer inspection the panel gap on the back of the sub differs between 0-2mm. (See images) Is this to be expected? Should it affect the sound in any way? If it’s only cosmetic I can live with it. Even if I’m a bit disappointed with the craftsmanship for such an expensive product 

I have 25 port in basement all connected through wird .i want to add 1 sonos port in my pool area where is no any wire connection and no any sonos zone player to connect on sonosNet . i ahve only Wifi coverage there. can i travel new player to my Wifi and to add my system?

Hi there. We recently built an open-air outdoor structure next to our pool, we’re planning to mount a TV and are looking for recommendations for sound. We currently run our house on all sonos products (arc, playbars, play1 &3, subs,etc) and outdoors we have Bose landscape speakers connected via sonos connect. I was planning to purchase the outdoor architectural speakers and amp to connect to the tv for sound but was sure if that was the best option. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there  -   I have a Connect that I use only to Line-in a turntable; there are no speakers attached to it. So I’d like to keep Line-in as a music source, but remove it’s destination ‘room’.   Anyone know if this is possible on the S2 app?  Thanks. 

Bonjour Est ce que les ampli sonos amp connect avant 2015 fonctionnent toujours correctement. quels sont les fonctionnalités en moins?  Apparemment ca ne fonctionne qu’avec l’application sonos 1? Qu’est ce que ca change par rapport à l’application sonos 2?   peut on encore écouter de la musique en ligne via l’application? quels sont les différences?CDT

Help. Going bonkers have had sonos many years and all been perfect. Recently set up new surround system in another room. Beam and 2 one’s. Plays music and Netflix perfect through tv. Sky, however is a different story. Many occasions have sound and many not. Have reset everything tv. Sky. Sonos   Reconnected sonos to tv many times etc. changed HDMI leads and the best I can get is tv sound on some channels but very few. Have gone through sky set up God knows how many times and all is as it should be. PS5 plays through tv in surround also. Connected by HDMI ARC (have tried optic lead and same result). Has anyone come across the same or have any ideas?   I have spent a week testing trying and changing everything 😬Any advice would be appreciated  CheersMartin

I have an Echo+ in my Kitchen and a Beam in my front room. Anytime I asked the Echo+ to play music it defaults to playing on my Beam. It used to be intermittent but happens every time now. It's the same for both Radio & Spotify 

Hello! I would appreciate so much your knowledge and support about this issue. I use to have my sonos one wired to my ISP router and I was using S2 app with it with no problems. I recently purchased a new wifi router (Tp-link AX20) to use its WI-FI connection. This TP-link router is conected to the ISP router to get internet and now I use the new wifi network  (2.4Ghz) to connect to it. (5Ghz wifi is disconnected). The problem is that now the app won't detect my Sonos one wired to the main router. I run a test connecting the Sonos one wired to the TP-LINK router and it worked so I guess there must be a parameter in the TP-LINK that im missing?-I have the TP-Link with auto channel and same WIFI SSID, even copying the MAC address of the ISP router.I have attached my config. Thank you for your support. 

Hello! I am completely stumped by issues with getting my sonos beam to be the default speaker when I stream content through my apple TV 4k. I feel like I am going crazy and I definitely think I am overthinking the solution but I would be very grateful for any input! I guess this is more challenging due to the AORUS FO48U being a monitor rather than a TV.The Tech I have available:AOURUS FO48U, apple TV 4k, Sonos beam gen 2, Skycrop HDMI switch extractorThe challenges:AORUS FO48U has an integrated soundbar which the apple TV 4k auto selects (I have it muted the integrated soundbar but not disabled it not sure it can be disabled) The sonos soundbar is able to be selected via airplay and used temporarily AORUS FO48U does not have an HMDI ARC or eARC port or optical out portThe Goal:To have the apple TV recognize the Sonos soundbar as the default soundbarCurrent Set Up:I have used a HDMI Switch Audio Extractor (that has optical out and HDMI arc port) but plugging the soundbar into either th

Just bought a Beam 2 gen and set it up for my Samsung TV.  Using Apple TV 4k.  Nice sound everywhere except when I go to the Viaplay app, the sound farts over to TV sound...??  What do I do about it?

After four years of perfection, one of my Connect (GEN2) started lagging behind all the other Sonos speakers. Happens regardless of the source (TV, PC, Sonos App using Spotify, etc.). Have always used Sonos Net. Unplugged the Connect, waited 10 minutes, plugged it back in and made no difference. Tried the same with the Sonos Boost (ethernet connected to the router), then the router itself, and still the same lag only in the two B&O towers connected to the Connect (GEN2). The other Connect (GEN2) still in perfect sync (also connected to two B&O towers). The only difference between the two is the one out of sync has Hardware Version 1.22.1.4-1.1 and the other is 1.22.1.5-1.1. I’ve also tried changing wireless channels, to no avail. I have the app on three phones and a PC, all using version 14.18. Any ideas?
