Spaces & Setups

I’m buying a receiver that has Sonos capabilities and I need to know where the wireless signal comes from?  Does it come from the Sound Bar or does it come from the Sub Woofer?

is the first gen soundbar eARC compatible?

I use a playbar with a modern Samsung TV and am looking to upgrade to Arc. The eArc means the TV remote will then control the Sonos properly. However, I also use Bluetooth headphones at the same time. Will the TV remote still control the Sonos, or will it only control the headphones? Will the TV with eArc connection mean that, cleverly(!), the Sonos switches off when I use Bluetooth headphones, which is absolutely what I don’t want!

2014 living in a camper:Bought a Play-bar, sub, 2) Play 1, Play 5 2019 bought a house and added a Beam I now want to add a bar, sub, and 2) Play 1 to have a whole house sound system House is only 1,120 sq ft and I currently have no delay/echo issues Should it be simple to add as I have done in the past? Purchase, plug, play? Thank you!Travis

Is it possible to use 2 Sonos Amps with passive speakers whereby 1 Amp is the left channel and 1 the right channel in a stereo set up ? Thanks in advance for any replies..

Morning all! I think I need to take back a tv. After installing a 65” LG OLED B2, I found it is not pairing with my Arc SL. Neither input is labeled with the HDMI(ARC). LG’s website says the first HDMI is usually the HDMI(ARC) input. I also found a review stating it worked. Anyone else able to connect an LG B2 series OLED to an Arc SL? If not, I am afraid I’ll have to take it back

I’m purchasing a Sonos speaker and I saw when trying to pay with Apple Pay on the website it offers 5 shipping options… free Ground 1-5 day, $15 2 day express, $25 1 day express, FREE 2 day express “CSR”, and FREE 1 day express “CSR”. When I look at paying without Apple Pay it just offers the normal 3 options, free ground and $15 and $25 express options.What is “CSR” shipping, and if I select it will I really get FREE 1 day shipping? Thanks!

Can Sonos beam be paired with in-wall speakers (architectural) to create surround sound effects?

There are a number of conversations regarding problems with TV set-up, especially with Samsung TV’s not playing nice. Rather than troubleshooting problems, I’m interested in successes.Specifically, has anyone combined a TV+AppleTV+ARC or TV+AppleTV+AMP (for ceiling speakers) where the TV remote controls Sonos Volume AND the volume level displays on the TV?  If yes, please share the details of your setup and TV make/model.Thanks

Hi there,When I Open the windows APP, no speakers are showing and it asks to update.I click update.On the PC (Windows 11) the update says it has failed.I check the IOS app and it says there is no updates available.I have uninstalled and reinstalled the PC app. I still get the same issues. Any ideas ? Many thanks.

I have 2 Sonos Amps, can I use one of the amps for a 5.1 surround sound with built in in wall speakers and sub woofer. Or do I need to get a receiver and connect my Sonos Amps to it. I’m moving into a new house that has built in surround speakers 5.1, speakers for outdoor patio and speakers in main bedroom. I currently have 2 Sonos amps and 4 SL ones. How can I connect them all together?

Three months is all it took for Sonos Move to stop working. 3 MONTHS for a $450 speaker. Well they Sonos team replaced it with a refurbished speaker. Good job, Sonos team!My question to community is - Do you feel comfortable paying $450 for a brand new speaker from SONOS website and within 3 months getting your product replaced by a refurbished one. Are you okay with this customer service. I am not, and would appreciate your feedback.

I have 2 Sonos Amps and want to connect them to my Onkyo TX-NR6050 7.2-Channel AV Receiver. Do I need to buy a port to connect them all and control on my speakers?

I just bought a Hisense U6GR TV (with Roku built in). I have an existing Sonos Playbar that was connected to another TV previously, with paired remote. I connected the Playbar to the new TV and the IR signal light blinked whenever I hit the volume buttons on the remote, but it didn’t control the volume on the Playbar. I went through the “Remote Control Setup” process on the Sonos S2 app and the app indicated the pairing was successful.As soon as the pairing was done, the Playbar IR signal light no longer blinked, indicating it wasn’t receiving an IR signal from the remote (and the volume isn’t changing). However, the TV is still being controlled by the remote. I then went through a factory reset on the Playbar. After the factory reset, the IR indicator light still doesn’t blink when using the remote, and I cannot complete the “Remote Control Setup” process on the Sonos S2 app. The remote still controls the TV just fine.My three hypotheses that could explain this behavior are:The IR rec

Hi groups, hope you are all well. I am looking for some advice if it is worth inserting a sub in my system. Now it is composed by a playbar and 2 SL.The main topic is where the sub will be installed (see pictures - and don't judge 😅 I just moved )  does it make sense to install a sub in a niche? (removing everithig of course) thanks in advance to anyone willing to answer !  Andrea  

I have an arc grouped with two five's The arc out of the blue volume starts to increases and I know it is the arc as I hear the clicks sound coming from the arc. Even after using the remote to lower it continues to increase. The remote I fine including the batteries. It is only after unplugging the arc it clears.Has anyone run into issue.

Hi, Have an old iPad that I would like to use the XM streaming app to play over my Sonos system. It works on my newer iphone and 3rd party app but because the iPad is so old the Sonos app refused to run on it and thus can not connect to the system with that iPad. Is there a manually way to get the iPad to recognize the system? Thanks

I’ve tried to play such file as described in the title, and it says in the app it’s playing Multichannel PCM 7.1 I know sonos isn’t a 7.1 system, so in this case am I losing ATMOS or other audio content?  I’ve played 5.1 atmos files just fine

Hello all, I know this question has been asked in a variety of ways, but I can’t seem to find my exact answer.  I’ve listed the components of my system below: Sony Bravia x950HApple TV 4kPlaybarSonos Sub I have the apple TV going into the Bravia via HDMI.  Optical out to the playbar and wirelessly connected sub.  No problem with this setup to date.I recently moved into a location that has built in rear speakers that I would like to connect to this system as dedicated rears.  It seems I can purchase the Amp to accomplish this.  I have 2 questions: 1.)  Will I notice any latency in connecting the rear speakers with the Amp?  If so, is there a way to avoid this with my current setup?2.)  What would be the best way to setup?In my mind, I would just add the Amp wirelessly to the group.  However, I have access to all the “guts” very easily, meaning, the location of the amp can connect to the same ethernet as the Playbar, and I also have access to the HDMI-arc from the TV or apple TV if neede

My daughter likes to put her hand on the actual subwoofer speakers while a song plays with big bass. Could that potentially damage the sub or is that okay? We have a Sonos Sub Mini.

I’m using the latest version of the Sonos app on my iPad and my iPhone. My Sonos system is up to date as well. I’m logged into my Sonos account on the app. I have Apple Music as my main source, but also Amazon Music. If I search for an artist, like CAIN and from Apple Music choose the station, “CAIN & Similar Artists Station”. It plays just fine and like it should. If I come back another day and select that choice from the list of Recent Searches within the Sonos app, it always shows “No results” or doesn’t even show Apple Music as an option. If I then delete everything and just search for “CAIN” and then select stations, the “CAIN & Similar Artists Station” appears as available and under Apple Music.I don’t understand why a recent search wouldn’t bring up the exact same results as what I originally selected for that search. Could this be a bug since it does it on both my iPad and iPhone? Here’s a screen recording showing how Apple Music doesn’t appear even though it was the or

Hey Sonos community,I'm wondering if I can pair a SUB mini with an existing home theater system. I know we can add a second sub but can that sub be the Mini ? Existing system is:1x ARC2x Sonos one1X Sonos Sub Thanks

Is it possible to enter your own URL? It would be nice if you can play a radio station that is not in the list!

Ever since updating the app on ios (iphone 12), whe i touch/tap the volume and it makes a significant jump down in volume without me sliding it.  For instance, I am listening at a volume of 20 and want to adjust it upwards a bit,. I tap on the volume and it immediately jumps down to a volume of 14.  What gives here?  This is not a one time thing , it is now happening constantly , on all my sonos speakers. starting to get pretty annoying
