Hi.I have a Sonos Beam Gen 2 and TCL Series 6 55” Roku TV (55R635) and I have them connected via eARC HDMI cable.I’ve had the Beam for about six months and over the last two months I have to constantly unplug and replug the Beam to get sound going. I’ve tried three different HDMI cables to no avail.I just completely reset everything with a new 8K HDMI cable, unplugged everything and waited ten minutes and reset from scratch. The Beam was found in CEC and everything was fine. Then I plugged in the cable box and xBox and then the Beam drops out of CEC, but the sound still worked. Then after the TV goes into sleep mode and if I want sound when I turn the TV back on, I have to unplug the Beam and then plug it back in and then I have sound.I have a similar TCL Roku TV in another part of the house with a Bose soundbar and have never once touched it after initial setup, so I’m at a loss here.Thanks.

Hi all,I have just moved into a new home and want to get a Sonos Sub and either Beam or Arc to improve my TV audio. I don’t mind paying the extra for the Arc but am worried it might not agree with my room shape with some of the surround effects. Ceiling height is standard at around 8ft, but we are in a room which has been made open plan and we are using half of it for TV/Sofa so while it’s almost perfect square on 3 sides, the left side walls are a lot further away. Will this cause issues with the sound? Have attached a rough sketch of the room shape.Thanks for any help!  

When watching my Sony Tv and listening to the sound through my sonos arc i can control the volume level up or down , by using the appropriate buttons on the TV  or Virgin media Tivo box remote and that works fine.However, when playing music through my sonos arc from, for example Deezer, i can only adjust the volume up or down by using the sonos app on my phone, whereas until recently, I have been able to also control the music volume using the appropriate buttons on the TV and virgin media Tivo box remotes.I just spoke to a Sonos technician/ engineer and he said that the TV and virgin remotes cannot control the volume of music on the Sonos arc and that i must use the app to control the volume…… even though my system has worked like this ever since it was brand new ( maybe 2 years or so old). OK its not a major issue and i can control the volume on the app, but it used to be so much more convenient to adjust the volume using the \tv or virgin remotes.I cannot understand why this has sto

I currently have an Arc and Sub 3 together as I system. I know it will not do surround sound but I have a pair of Move’s coming. I think this will be a good little casual listening system for my upstairs.  My question is how do I add the two new Move’s? I believe that I add each one as a different room and then I pair the two Moves.  I also was wondering about syncronizing volume between the three parts of the system, Sub, Arc and Moves. Is this at all automated so that they are balanced with one another or do I just adjust each volume independently by ear until I have the balance to my liking? Thanks very much for your help. Cheers.

As above.I am not sure if anybody here use Untangle firewall but there seems to be a problem with Multicast traffic from the Beam. I can see the Beam issued with my assigned static IP but other than that, it doesnt to be able to setup properly.Any ideas to solve it?

Help,This is so annoying and it never used to happen. I have had Sonos Speakers in every room since 2018 and no problem until recently. The first alarm is set for 5am weekdays to play LBC on Tunein. The second one is set for 7am weekends to play Classic FM on Tunein. The problem is totally Random, some days it happens and others it doesn't. I had a 46 minute one to one with Sonos on Wednesday 18th May and the alarms worked for 3 days until the problem started reoccurring, again randomly. The case number is 03899693. 

At WWDC’21 Apple announced opening up Siri to third party hardware, are there plans to integrate this and make it an option for voice assistant just like Alexa and Google Assistant?

We have enjoyed the sonos amp with two wired sonance speakers out back for years...now we’ve extended our space with some chaise lounges on the far side of the pool, and a small game area in the far corner of the year.  You really need to crank the music up under the covered patio to hear it in all corners of the yard.  I’m thinking either two roams, or two moves, or one of each so that we can hear the music in all corners of the yard.  What’s the best combo?  Or is it something else?  Thanks!

My Sonos App will no longer play Sirius XM's Channel 13 (Pitbull Globalization). It says no longer available, but I listen everyday in my vehicles. I've removed my XM account and logged in again. Same message. Anyone else? 

I have a single album, about 30 songs that I uploaded on YouTube Music. When I navigate through the Sonos app, it says "Unable to Browse Music"I have removed YT Music several times and re-auth’d but nothing helps. All other Uploaded Albums work fine. The album works fine in the YT app, just not through Sonos. 

Hi,Do you know if it’s possible to connect SONO ONE speaker directly to the electricity power and not on a plug ?We would like to have the speakers set up on the wall and if possible, we would like the cable to go directly into the wall to avoid having a plugThank you,Loic

I have a Sennheiser RS 185 RF wireless headphone system that I have enjoyed for years. As my wife and I are on different sleep schedules, this solution has saved my marriage.Recently I added a new Sonos Arc, existing subwoofer and 2 Sonos One speakers to my TV. The TV and all Sonos components are working fine. However, except for a couple evenings(out of 2 weeks), I have been unable to get sound from my headphones. I installed and charged new batteries and added a new optical cord, but still no sound. Sonos support said that they cannot help because their components are working, and Sennheiser tells me there must be interference from the new changes that is causing the problem. Can anyone help? After buying the new Arc I can’t afford a divorce lawyer!

Hi there,I bought a Sonos Arc directly from Sonos over a month ago at the start of May. I’ve noticed today that there is a dent in the front housing on the Arc, and I’m not sure where or how it has come about. I’m worried this is a defect in the build quality.I’ve attached some photos I’ve taken - would be great if I could get some advice.Thanks. 

I’m super frustrated. I have 4 Sonos Connect: Amps all direct connected to my Nighthawk MR60. This setup has worked for well over a year since I moved to the nighthawk without any issues. In the last 5 or 6 weeks I started getting a message “Unable to play… the connection to… was lost” Doesn’t matter if it’s Apple Music or Sirius or anything. I called Sonos, we did some troubleshooting, and they were unable to even see my hardware online. So what changed? I got a new ISP, which only meant a new modem within the network of my home. Yes, I’ve rebooted every single device, more than once. Tonight I decided to wipe my router and set it up from scratch. No change. I reinstalled the Sonos App and tried to start over from scratch. The App when trying to connect to the “new” network see’s the Network, asks me for a password, and then tells me the password is wrong. Like, cmon, I know the password isn’t wrong. I don’t know what else to do. Has anyone successfully gotten through something simila

Hi,I have an Alexa home theatre set up in my campervan,It uses 2x Echo Dot (3rd gen) and a Fire TV Cube 4k.I can request music from Amazon Music to play in stereo through the Echo Dots and also stream the audio from my Fire TV Cube in stereo to the Echo Dots when I'm watching Netflix. It's all connected via WiFi to my 4G router in the van and works great but I'd like to improve the sound quality, especially if I open the back doors to play music outside.  The Echo Dots work ok but are obviously quite small so can only do so much in terms of sound quality. The obvious upgrade would be to switch to the full Amazon Echo units instead of the Echo Dots, but the full Echo units run on 18v and that would require a voltage converter to get to this voltage. Instead, I noticed that the Sonos Move units have a built-in battery, and are Alexa Enabled.  They look a decent size and would alow me to either put them on the Sonos hook wall mount to watch TV and play Amazon music when inside the van, or

I see that you recommend 10W for the Roam, but how much can it handle? Would a 60-75W be too much? If that is not too much would the Roam change alot faster with 75W or is there a point when more watts would not mean faster charging?

I recently purchase the following:ArcSub Gen 32 x One SL speakersI have set up the system as per instructions BUT I am slightly confused with regard to a stereo pair and/or surround speaker set up. Which would be the best listening experience. The App doesn’t seem to show that the 2 x One SL speakers are a stereo pair and I can’t seem to be able to change or set up. Any ideas ?

Hi all, Long time user, occasional poster. I'm toying with the idea of installing some Sonos speakers in the bar/workshop area at the bottom of my garden (roughly 15m from my house, and it seems heavily resistant to any wireless signals).I currently have a relatively large Sonos set-up IN the house running on Sonosnet with a boost plugged into my router. I have tried just putting a speaker in the bar and hoping for the best, but alas, it is a no go. My question is....if I were to run an ethernet cable from my router in the house to a network switch in the bar, then subsequently hardwire those speakers, would it work?? I get there's STP implications so the switch would need to support that, but beyond that is what I suggest feasible? I've done some searching on here, but nothing seems to answer my question specifically. Thanks in advance, all!!

Hi all, looking for help please.I’ve temporarily connected my Beam Gen 2 tony LG C1 through eArc. All works as it should. The Beam will normally stay in a facility room, but wanted to test the functionality before I dive deeper into Sonos.Took a while to get it to connect, these is a well-discussed issue with this.The issue is that I don’t always want the sound to play through the Beam, and want it to stay on the TV speaker for basic day to day viewing. I prefer to use external sound sources for something specific, like watching a movie and I want a bigger experience.When I select TV speaker in the sound output options on the TV, after 3 or 4 seconds it reactivates the eArc connection and plays audio through the Beam. If I deactivate the CEC link on the LG, it reactivates it. I’ve turned off TV Autoplay in the app.I have a couple of questions: - Is there a way of permanently disabling any automatic reconnection or activation of the sound bar, so it only works on command? - Is there a w

Hi everyone,I am attempting to connect my Sonos Arc Surround sound to a Denon AVR-S960H with my video source being a Sony projector VPLVW715ES. My video source is a chrome cast and that is working fine through the receiver. I have turned Arc on but Sonos is not finding it once connected and I try to set it up in the App. Do I need the Sonos Port to make this work? Is there a setting I am missing?Thank you for your help!

I have an LG TV OLED C1 connected via HDMI ARC to my Sonos Beam, which has worked perfectly. Since recently purchasing a Humax PVR box, sometimes the audio will not play through the Sonos when the Humax box is in stand-by. If I try to turn the TV volume up or down, I get a ‘mute’ icon appear on the TV screen and no sound is emitted from the Sonos.When I use the Beam app on my phone to try to fix the issue, it tells me that a device is interfering with the communication between the TV and the Beam. The only solution that seems to work is to remove the HDMI cable (that comes from the Humax) from the port in the TV, change the TV audio settings to ‘internal volume’, re-connect the Humax HDMI cable and then switch the TV audio back to ‘external device HDMI ARC’.There must be a more straightforward fix. Any ideas, anyone?

Hi all , can I just ask which of these formats is best , you folk will know I'm sure ! Multi channel pcm 5.1 is with eARC on and DD + 5.1 is with ARC on , both using Amazon Prime, thanks  

I have a Sonos Roam that I am attempting to connect to a Project Audio BT turntable. The first time I used it, everything worked perfectly. But now whenever I try to enter BT pairing mode it will connect for a second or two before disconnecting again. I can pair the turntable with other speakers successfully, and I can pair other devices with the Roam, but the two no longer play together properly.I have already tried numerous factory resets but to no avail. Anyone run into anything like this before?
