Spaces & Setups

El tocadiscos Pro-ject T1 phono SB no suena bien atraves del Five, muy grave y distorsionado. Además el tocadiscos tiene una aguja muy endeble.

Hey,I have been doing some research and I wanted to run things by people who know much more than I do.The basic setup, Apple TV 2021 (encoding), LG CX (pass-through), and Sonos Beam 2 (decoding).Apple TV set up to Audio Auto, LG CX set up to pass through, and Sonos Beam 2 is the thing that ought to do all the audio encoding.I wanted to make ask if I am right to think it is not currently possible to have DD+ 5.1 when using Apple TV 4K as the source. 1.It is my understanding that using pass-through on LG CX so that Sonos Beam 2 does the decoding is the only way I can get full uncompressed Atoms to my Sonos because it is the only way to Get Dolby TrueHD.If LG CX is set to Auto under digital audio out the Sonos still encodes Atoms but it is somehow not the full experience because it lacks the Dolby TrueHD.Am I correct on this?2.And this one is the rabbit hole, or so I think. It has to do with Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 vs Multichannel PCM 5.1 and 7.1.First things first, the Apple TV product pa

HelloI am an owner of the old gen Play 3 and Play 5 speakers and thinking about upgrading to a home entertainment system with surround sound in my new home.Wondering what the best configuration would be for a relatively small room? Livingroom is basic rectangle shape with patio doors, dimension 5.7x3.7m approx.In the process of getting a media unit built above a fireplace so TV and sound bar would be mounted (similar to attached picture - note this is not my livingroom!). Have space for a 60-65” TV.Would my room be big enough for the complete Arc, sub woofer and 2x Sonos 1s? Or is this overkill?Also - would the Arc sound quality be compromised by mounting it as shown in the pic? Sounds like positioning is a key factor in sound quality.Apologies for the basic questions - relatively new to TV sound systems and want to optimize it as best I can  

Was just totally enjoying the chill of smooth jazz and an obnoxious holiday song came on.  When I tried to forward past I was notified that I had to sign up for Sonos HD.  So that's the choice, horrible holiday music long after the holidays are over?  No thanks 

Has any one bought a Maclean floor stand for One SL speakers - for example this one hereThey seem a good deal cheaper than the better known stands but, as far as I can tell, Maclean seems to be a recognised name. 

Hi, For those of you who are looking to try and control Sonos from Siri I thought I’d stick up how I managed to do it with help from a couple of articles that this one simply glues together. I wanted to play a radio station without having to click on anything so I did the following. This assumes you have set up the radio station you want to play as a favourite. Go to IFTTT.com and set up a user. Create an applet with a Webhook and name it something like play_radio_station_name - just remember what you called it. Then for the ‘Then’ bit select Sonos log in and select Play Favourite. Select the radio station and where you want it to play. Save and name your applet. Now from the home screen click into your Applet and click on the web hooks logo. Then click ‘Documentation’. Enter into the URL where is says event your name from step 2. Down below where it has the CURL - copy everything from https to the end of the request. This will include your applet trigger name and your private key. Now

Just posting this for those who may experience a similar problem.I replaced my Sonos Beam with a Sonos Arc.My typical TV viewing is FUBO, Netflix, Prime, and YouTube.  We mostly watch FUBO during the day for news and sports and the other services for movies and series at night.The Beam was connected to a Samsung QN90A HDMI eARC port.  The Beam worked fine.When I connected the Sonos Arc to the same port, FUBO audio was cutting out for 5-10 seconds every minute or so.  Netflix and the rest were fine.I spent two hours on the phone with Sonos with 3 different techs and got nowhere.  They tried, but in the end, did not fix the issue.  One solution they had me do was to connect the Sonos ARC via an Ethernet cable to my router. I complied but as I thought about, it made no sense.I finally solved the issue by changing the setting on the TV so that the HDMI ARC port was set to regular ARC and not eARC. If I watch anything but FUBO, I switch it back to eARC to get the full sound.I contacted FUBO

I’m looking for a new set up in my living room. It’s quite large at around 7.5m x 4.5m  I already own the following;x2 gen 1 subsx1 playbar x2 play 3s x2 ones x1 play 5 the playbar and sub will be moved into the master bedroom now, the x1 ones will go into the kitchen.For the new living room I was thinking… The play 3s  mounting up each corner of the living room as surrounds and buying a new gen3 sub and having two subs in the living room. (I’ve read you can link a gen 1 and gen 3 sub together) buying a Sonos arc as my new playbar and then buying a new Sonos 5 and having both the play 5s in the living room to for music listening  (I’ve read you can link and gen 2 and gen 3 play 5 also) would people approve of this set up for a living room of this size …     

So, WD have been sending emails saying support is ending for their MyCloud for the past few month with this line in it: After April 15, 2022, your device will no longer receive remote access, security updates, or technical support.I’m guessing that remote access means that I won’t be able to access my music libraries stored on it via my Sonos system? If it helps, both my WD and Sonos devices are connected to the same router. Any ideas? WD said they would be sending a discount voucher this month, but the devices on offer come with way more storage than I need and also way more than I want to spend on a new device that I don’t really need to buy as the current one was working fine. I swear manufactures do this just to get more revenue for themselves.  

Every time I turn on my TV, the Sonos Arc doesn’t switch to the TV input (it is set to do so automatically). When I try to do this manually in the Sonos S2 app, the following error message shows: Connection Issue We’ve detected an issue with your HDMI connection. We’ll help you fix it. Cancel | Fit it When I click “Fix it”, the TV connection wizard starts with the following steps: Please run on your TV è It is on already so I click “My TV is on” Connecting with HDMI-ARC è Continue Look for the ARC port on your TV è I found the ARC port Connect your Arc to ARC è I’m connected to ARC Connecting… è We are not getting a signal Try again starts over with step 4 resulting in step 5 Try again, but now I set my TV’s output to HDMI2 (i.e. my HDMI-ARC port). I see the Sonos groovy 50’s lines and when I now click “I’m connected to ARC” the message shows “TV setup complete” Click done Set my TV to any source to play some content and the Arc plays music (and the Sonos App shows it’s co

I have 3 Play 5s (gen 2), a Sonos One and a Connect. Everything worked fine. I decided to add 2 SLs to a couple of other rooms, fill out the sound in my house. What an idiot. I’ve tried 2 PCs, 2 different phones, keep getting bounced between S1 and S2. Managed to add one of the SLs to a now new network but now nothing works. PC doesn’t see the new system, phone seems to find the system but doesn’t play. Didn’t even take the second SL out of the box, figured I’d get the system working first before I tried to add it. (Yes, I know the Connect is not compatible. No way to remove it from the app.) Try to open S2 on my primary phone, tells me to open S1 Controller. Do that and it tells me to update my system. I finally got something to play using my spare phone but not my desktop PC and not my main phone. iPhone 12 Pro. No access to my library or saved music sources. Windows 10: “Sonos system not found.” Of course, no one in tech support is available. Who would need help with a music system

Hello everyone and well found, I hope you are all well ... given the period …Greetings from Rome and Italy :-)I have a home theater system consisting of Arc and One SL. Now I would like to add Sub Gen. 3I have a question, certainly trivial for you ...Regarding the Sub Gen 3, what is the ideal location for its installation. Is it better "front" (but on the side of the TV), or can you put "side"? Or "oblique"?I know that with the Trueplay setup then it fits the room acoustics, but I would like what the guideline or recommended is.I made some screenshots on the fly numbered from 1 to 4 (forgive the banality, but you should guess the purpose anyway ...), in order to facilitate the discussion to understand what you are referring to Again, I know that the configuration via the App helps, but I would like to know on a technical level what is the ideal position that this Sub should more or less respect in your opinion of Sonos.Thanks a lot for the support! Hello everybody. 

After many years of brow beating, I have sacrificed my amp and 5.1 set up, the Mrs is now much happier, but on the understanding a more discreet soundbar will be forthcoming.I have a couple of 1’s and a 5 in other rooms, so the Arc is top of my list as a replacement.My problem is my TV, isn’t bang up to date, so connection wise I’m at a bit of a disadvantage when bringing my other equipment into the equation. At some point, I will upgrade my TV, which should make everything much more compatible, but in the meantime, what I have is still pretty decent, as it was quite a high spec TV when first released.So, my Panasonic TX-58A802B has only one arc hdmi that will handle 4K. (hdmi4)Hdmi 2 is arc, hdmi 1&3 are standard, and we also have a digital out available too.I need to connect Sky Q, a Panasonic 4K BluRay player, and a 4K Firestick.The TV is wall mounted, so can somebody suggest the best connection route to maximise the Arc, until I upgrade my TV? Thank you in advance.

Is there ever going to be decent Sonos applications on macOS and iOS ?Take a search - i put in the the name of an artist, click the artist then it just shows me a long list of random crap. Why cannot it be show as separate areas for Songs, albums etc as the search for any other streaming service does ?Getting to a specific playlist in Apple Music takes 4 clicks of the mouse !There is no view to show the bitrate that the stream is playing at.I love the sound from my Sonos Amp, but wondering if it’s time to start moving onto something else.Anyone know of any alternatives ? 

I received a Sonos Roam for the holidays. Upon setting up, the device was malfunctioning. I contacted support who guided me through the exchange process. i received the email stating I would get another email from a logistics partner giving me the return shipping label to get the product back to Sonos for exchange. It took contacting Sonos support 5 times to actually get the shipping label. When I finally received my replacement Roam, the new one that they sent was also defective. Doing a little research, it seems that the Sonos Roam is NOT a reliable product as many many people have had to return it for the same reason. I first contacted Sonos support to exchange the defective Roam on 1/7/22. Since then, I have been told FIVE different times by s support agent through chat that my return shipping label would be to me by the end of the day. All FIVE times, the label did not arrive. Currently, in another tab, I am waiting in line to, once again, complain that I do not have a shipping la

Hi there,It would be great if there was a way in the SONOS app (for iPhone) to output announcements via certain S2 speakers without changing the saved playlists. The speakers should then continue to play your program if possible or be off again without losing their playlist.That would be super practical, for example, to be able to call for breakfast, lunch, ... .

Hello, I have a Mastercard gift card that I would like to use in addition to a Visa credit card to purchase a Sonos Move, however there is no option to do so online. Can I call in the order and pay using the 2 cards? 

Hi, I would like to request a widget option to be added to the Sonos App, I think there was a thread created about 6 months ago asking on for ios 14 but nothing materialised and the thread got closed.I think it would be a great addition to the sonos app to be able to see whats playing, sound format etc without having to go into the app.

Hi  First time I have experienced this, my LG cx seemed to drop the TVs arc connection, the tv remote was not working to control volume, the Sonos app still was so it wasn’t an internet issue.I tried power cycling tv with no luck.I then power cycled Sonos and arc connection was established again.Do you think this could have just been a random Arc connection bug?  

Is the new arc worth the money?

Hello everyone, I have a Beam 2 soundbar with a 4K neo Qled TV. When I watch Netflix, I am told many movies with the Atmos logo. On the other hand, when I read the film I see that on the application I am in: PCM MULTICANAL DOLBY 5.1. I tried with several movies and the only one where I see Dolby ATMOS appear in the sonos application is for the series The WITCHER. I don't understand what the problem is.. can you help me please 🙂🙂

I have the same issue as described by this chap - But when I look at the setting mentioned (HDMI Input Audio Format) it’s greyed out? Should the TV be prepped by changing a setting before the Beam is plugged in or could there be another setting somewhere that needs tweaking before the above setting becomes available? If it provides a possible clue….when I select the speech enhancement option in the Sonos app, it doesn’t appear to make any difference, well, if it does then it is very, very subtle!Thanks

I have a Connect:Amp that shows a 30% discount available through the Upgrade program. I want to use this offer to purchase an Arc (£899-£629). However, upon adding this to my basket- where it appears to cost the discounted price of  £629- a discount of only roughly 15% is applied to my basket. It is the only product in my basket and I see no reason as to why only a 15% discount is applied when it says i’m eligible for a 30% discount. Any suggestions as to why this isn’t available?

I have had nothing but problems with using Google Home and Sonos since Google lost to Sonos in court the beginning of this year.  I can’t get my sonos speakers to properly respond to voice commands given to google home.  I can get the sonos speakers to work using the touch screen which is not very convenient.  On one of my google home max devices it will adjust the sonos tv speaker volume when I ask google to adjust the volume on the home device.  I have used them together for nearly two years and it is quite frustrating.  I have tried everything - disconnecting, resetting, uninstalling, reinstalling, swearing, praying, medication, etc and nothing works.  Anybody having luck fixing these problems.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get DTS discs to multi-channel using LG UBK90 - 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray Disc Player, LG OLED 55C1, and the Sonos ARC +Sub+play1’s??
