Why tidal play Dolby atmos on my arc with my google chrome device but not Apple Music with my Apple TV ?

I can’t find the specific answer to my issue.  Can both inputs on the Sonos Beam ARC and Optical be plugged in at the same time and used for separate sources or does one cancel out the other? Cheers. 

Hi all,I’ve seen a number of threads around this (quite old) but can’t figure it out.Is there a way of adding 320kbps streams of BBC Radio stations on to Sonos?I assume the standard TuneIN and Sonos Radio streams are all at 128kbps?Thanks!

Hey all,I have a pair of sonos one’s that are connected to the boost’s network. I can verify this by seeing the WM: 0 status for both in the sonos app.I track wifi usage with my eeros set-up, however, and can still see both one’s actively downloading data from the wifi network when in use. I was under the impression they’d be off the wifi network and completely on the boost’s network. Is this normal behavior?

Hi,I’d love to use a Sonos Move for my projector setup, but supposedly it won’t work because of SCMS-T. Would what I suggest in the title be a viable workaround?ThanksLars

Hello all,I used to have a Sonos S1, and I loved the sound. It used it mainly to listen to music, but I really missed being able to play music from my laptop's browser (running MS Windows). So, now that I see that the Sonos Move includes the possibility to connect by Bluetooth, I am seriously considering to buy it.The move seems to tick all my checkmarks: enough sound for a room, possibility to carry it around the house (including kitchen, 2 rooms, bathroom and balcony), and multiple wireless inputs. However, I see that it cannot be connected directly to the TV via a wired connection (I have a Samsung QLED 65Q74T, 2020). On the other hand, the TV can use Bluetooth external speakers, and also has Airplay 2. So, I have the following questions:If I watch a movie on the TV and sync it via Bluetooth with the Move, will I have lip-sync delay? If the answer to number 1 is yes, should I buy a Sonos Beam, to connect via wire to the TV, and sync it with the Move? I have seen around contradictory

I cannot seem to find anything online or through Sonos about how to airplay from the Sonos app?  Or oi that not possible?  I can airplay from something I’m playing on my phone but not from the app.  My use case is when I’m playing something and I want to play it on my home cinema speakers via apple tv.Thanks

LG55 GI EVO with Arc installed, just HDMI to correct TV HDMI.After setup the Arch was the permanent sound output device. Attempts to select TV speakers would switch back to HDMI Arch.One solution suggested was disable simple-link on TV. This works. It appears this new TV may not be full compatibility with the Arch. If anybody else has experienced this, or just smart enough to know a work around and solution it would be most welcome.

I have a Sonos Move, One SL, and Port and a Brennan B2 music server with my CD collection that has been working perfectly for almost a year. However, three days ago I noticed that some songs can not be found by my Sonos in the Brennan server. The most puzzling thing is that the “trouble” songs play in my One SL when it is the only speaker but not if I make the Move or Port the sole output. I notice that the problem songs have characters like ñ, accents, and/or question/exclamation marks in their titles. I reset all my Sonos components and that by itself does not fix the problem neither does re-indexing. The problem goes away only when I remove the offending characters from the name of the songs in the Brennan B2 music server. I have not made any changes in my system to have caused this problem. Has there been lately an autonomous update in the firmware of my Sonos components? How can I fix it? I would prefer not having to go through my full library in my server removing offending chara

I have external Sonos speakers hooked up to my amp. My wifi is about 50ft away through multiple walls. There's an area of my yard that we frequent often where the wifi doesn't go to, so, once there, I often can't control the volume or the music through my phone because our WiFi doesn't extend that far, often disconnecting us and requiring reconnecting to Sonos.Knowing that, it would seem I DON'T need a Boost, but rather a wifi extender so I can control Sonos, BUT wifi extenders aren't compatible with Sonos.Would this solution work:* Wifi extender to extend regular WiFi* Boost so that the Sonos speakers still function on their own networkWith this setup would my phone be able to communicate AND would the speakers still function correctly?

Is Sonos planning to offer any type of battery replacement for the Roam?  Maybe a significant discount on a new one with trade-in?

I get really teed off that SONOS in their high and mighty way disable my system if I don't apply the updates immediately. Whatever happened to user choice? There used to be a LATER option, (although SONOS admitted it didn't work), but now there is no choice whatsoever - install or don't have a sonos system…. have we really entered the big brother era where SONOS simply won't wait? Just as well Apple don't take the same approach.I’ve heard all the excuses about my system won't work without them, but it’s is such a basic set up that all the new add ons are completely irrelevant and do not apply to my system… and even if they did SONOS can wait until I’m ready to install, and not be forced to like a big bully who won’t wait

I have Deezer HiFi for a year now..... Recently, songs have started dropping out or skipping two, then the next song plays...... Repeat.I have two Play 1s.....and a preorder roam.Both play 1s are hard wired, with static IPsInternet 150mbTried the delinking of Deezer, unplug sonos, restart router. No change. Any other suggestions?  Has anyone downgraded to Premium and solved this?   

Alexa responds to a 'play music command' but it does not actually play anything. The Sonos One works fine from the app. Alexa also will tell you the weather etc... just fine. When music is playing if you ask Alexa to turn off music it says 'I can only do that when music is playing' . Alexa connects to tunein and my amazon account but doesn't end up playing anything even though it says it is.

Hello,I’ve spent three hours today calling between LG and Sonos Customer Support and know one can really help. I tried everything from turning off the TV/Soundbar for 30sec. Adding a new device in LG even using Philips instead of Sonos. Deactivating eARC in the LG setting, and I'm super frustrated as you would think a 1700 USD dollar TV and 400 USD soundbar would sync properly, and instead I get no tone over the Soundbar and the TV remote setup for Sonos does not work.. Does anyone have the same issue or is it just me???

Moved from US to Europe and Sonos hasn't worked in over a year living here (during COVID lockdown, so even more angry).  App won't connect to my system over wifi, and only connects to one speaker when hardwired to the router. Stops working as soon as Ethernet connection removed. One, Sonos is supposed to be a wireless system, two, I have more speakers than ports on my router, and 3, no way in hell am I running Ethernet cable all over my house for a multi-thousand dollar system.  Have factory reset the speakers, no change. VPN or no VPN, same issue.  Beyond frustrated with the many wasted hours spent trying so set up a system that is supposed to be nearly plug and play.  Internet is Belgian Proximus. Router is a b-box 3V+

I have:Zyxel router where Wi-Fi has been disabled. From zyxel goes a cable to DECO M9 PLUS. From Deco goes a cable to Sonos Boost.All Sonos products (2*five, 1*3, 1*symfonisk, 1*Arc) are connected via Boost (WM: 0)I have tried to connect Sub (gen 3). In the end of the setup it says the “Sub has been added but might not be shown. Turn it off and on again”.…But nothing happens. It will not connect. Find missing products does not help. Diagnostic: 179467386 Wi-Fi on Arc is enabled, and I have tried both the resetting, unplugging, and rebooting of all devices. I never get to the point where I should add Sub to Arc. It never shows on my system.I have tried both “add product” from System and  “connect sub" from the room where the Arc is installed. No luck 👎 

Randomly stopped working would say try again in a second when giving any command. so i unlinked removed google assistant and then re added the sonos to google home and it will not find my devices. none of the forums topics etc that ive read through have fixed this issue and im seriously sick of having spent thousands of dollars for it to barely work. its absurd how expensive these products are for such terrible service. If anyone has a solution please let me know.

Ok, in theory I love Sonos but in practice hate it. I am unable to connect to any of my products (two ports and three amps) on the app but when I open Apple Music I can select any of the rooms I have set up and successfully stream music. Why won’t the app recognize any of my hardware that it previously would show on the app?  I use a Yamaha receiver. 

I am hoping you can steer me in the correct direction with my setup.We have Apple, Foxtel and DVD inputs. And want to run them on TV or Projector.We have the Sonos Arc, Boost, Amp In ceiling speakers and the sub woofer.Could you let me know if this can be done with a HDMI Matrix switch.

Whenever I switch to a different channel, the sound is lost. I have to use the TV remote, not cable remote to go into sound settings and switch to external speaker. I have a Sony bravo TV and we use Verizon cable. I contacted Sonos support and they couldn’t fix it. Help!

Does anyone have suggestions on how to make my Sonos less patchy. I currently have the below setup. Office - Connect (network cable extension from router -> tp-link splitter)Around 11 feetHallway (in between office and living room) - Boost (network cable into router)Around 20 feetPlay:1 (living room) (wifi) Laptop -> Connect (line in) Currently set as Automatic Audio Compression, but have tried Compressed and Uncompressed myself. When using my laptop using the Connect line in, the Play:1 is so up and down it’s very annoying. Sometimes just stop, play via the app wakes it up, but sometimes it doesn’t. I do live in an apartment so there is other wifi noise, but using wifi detectors, my wifi is generally at least twice as powerful as neighbours wifi. I realise the Connect is not supported anymore, but I don’t really want to upgrade everything, if everything is the same patchiness. I’m currently trying to stay away from getting cables across my hallway to the living room but surely t

Just awful harsh sound on all S sounds from the TV and Music. Almost painfully bad. No depth to the sound. I’m using Trueplay and it doesn't help. Its embarrassing to have people over to listen to this garbage. On the “EQ” of only bass and treble. I have treble at -10. Still sounds likes like crap. Dialog is impossible to understand because the volume is so low because the SSS’s are killing my ears.Tried all the suggestions no luck. Might have to go back to a proper stereo system. Sonos fix this ****.Any other suggestions out there? *Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.*

Hello All!!!I was hoping someone can help me with info on speakers for a projector. I own an Epson Moviemate 62 and am looking for other options for speakers, wireless or semi-wireless. I’m currently using a Sony digital audio/video control center with 5 speakers. I don’t mind things being wired near the unit but trying to get “surround sound” leaves me with yards of speaker wire around my patio for a rear set of speakers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This unit has been a staple in my home for about 8 years and would love to update with new speakers. Below is an image of the back of the moviemate showing available hook ups. I typically use DVDs but am also hoping to use a firestick pending speakers setup.
