Spaces & Setups

I recently added 2 Symphonisk speakers as rear surrounds for my Beam 2.  I placed them on the floor in upfiring position so as to reduce visibility.  So far this sounds pretty good to me.  Has anybody else tried this and what do you think?

I have two systems set up. One for home theater. This consist of Beam 2, Sonos sub, and two Sonos Ones for rear. Perfect…For music I have the Sonos Amp connected to two Klipsch floor speakers and two Bose shelf speakers, with a Klipsch sub. Very nice, I usually set the music system to full, however I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to add two more Sonos Ones for the ambient effect as well. This new system of music is meant to replace my old system where I enjoyed full surround sound for my music. Music matter a lot to me. 

I am new to Sonos. I wanted to setup Sonos Speaker. Can I play Sonos Speaker through Bluetooth. Help me with guiding steps. 

starting a thread for all Arc and LG OLED TV owners that have the sound cutting in and out issue. there’s a thread with Samsung TV owners that had the issue resolved with the latest update released on 3/9. Can LG owners get some support?

Hello   I recently noticed that music quality when listening thru spotify connect is better than airplay. I normally prefer to use original streaming app than Sonos S2 for listening.  Anybody else also noticed the difference when listening thru spotify connect vs airply?

The fireplace is 76” wide with frame and the TV is LG GX 77” OLED. To maximally lower the TV for viewing height we placed everything as close to floor as safe. There is 10.5” below fireplace (fireplace to floor) and there is 10.5” inches between fireplace and bottom of TV. Ceiling is 12 feet total height with 5’5” between top of TV and ceiling. I need advice where to place ARC and if at all possible. Problem is if it is between fireplace and TV then it will possibly have too much heat from fireplace. Arc above TV is only safe option to me but has anyone tried it? Thank you for your advice.

Hi there,I have a LG TV and use a Google Chromecast with Google tv to stream tv. I recently bought a Beam gen 2 and 2 Sonos one that I set them up as a surround system. The Beam is connected to the ARC port and Google tv to standard HDMI.When I watch Netflix using Google tv the audio output is Stereo PCM but if I watch the same movie using the Netflix app buildin the LG TV the audio output is Dolby Atmos 5.1 . My tv only support Netflix and Prime so this is an issue for me. Does anyone else have the same issue and or a solution or suggestions? Thank you! 

Hello everybody, I have been using the Sonos arc with my LG TV for 4 months now and I have to report some of the issues, that hopefully will get fixed sooner or later.I hope this could be useful for other people too and please let me know whether you have found any fixes. #1 Selctive sync issue:External Source: No issue with PC audio No issue with Nintendo Switch audio. Internal apps: No issue with Netflix No issue with disney+ Big anticipation on you tube Big anticipation on Prime video My major problem is that the “sonos app” lip sync tool is not so precise.It would be nice to add a sytem where we could input the “exact millisecond”. The “+1, +2 or +3” system add either too much or too few delay.I am not sure what’s happening though, the signal is supposed to be pass through (I set it like that), so I am not undestanding why the TV is so much slower to show the pictures. Probably an LG problem, but it is super annoying.At least, add the millisecond option.#2 HDMI-CEC simply link

One of the things I regularly use Sonos for is listening to Audible before I go te sleep. Of course the audio on Sonos is waaay better than when I listen to audible on my phone, but there are some downsides when using Sonos instead of my phone for this, especially when it comes to sleep mode:In the Audible app (when using my phone/headphones instead of Sonos) there are 2 sleep mode options I really like:choosing a custom time for sleep mode (they give some standard options, but you can also select after how many minutes you want it to stop, whereas Sonos only gives some options (15 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.) choosing the option “end of chapter” for sleep mode; it will automatically stop after the chapter. (Even better imho, would be if you could choose after how many chapters/tracks you want it to stop).Is there any way to get the above on a backlog/wishlist?

Hi all - I’ve got a new Arc connected to an LG CX (eARC HDMI port, eARC enabled, pass through enabled).I’m having MAJOR issues with dialogue (and Trueplay). For example, when watching a talk show or the news via digital terrestrial tv and the sound is dialogue only, it sounds like the voices are coming from a small muffled box. I held my ear to the Arc and during these kinds of scenes the vocals are only coming from the central speaker(s).As soon as there is additional sound, say background music or effects, the vocals are boosted and sound perfect! When I hold my ear close to the Arc during these scenes I can hear that the dialogue is now coming out of the centre and also the left and right speakers. In a show where it switches from dialogue to dialogue with additional sounds though, the voices keep going from muffled to perfect. It’s awful. What’s worse is when I try a Bly-ray (in this case David Copperfield DTS-HD Master Audio (via a Sony UBP-X800M2) ALL the dialogue sounds muffled!

I am successfully importing playlists into my desktop Sonos app with a *.m3u extension.  I would like to be able to also import playlists with a *.m3u8 extension, which is an updated version of the older one.  Sonos will not import these.  Am I missing something or is this “normal?”  Both versions are pretty old, so I’m surprised Sonos doesn’t recognize the latter.  If this is normative, will you add it to “new features” in a future release?

Tv autoplay not switched on in Sonos 2 app but matters not on or off anyway. The tv will not budge of receiver in sound settings. Cannot get tv speakers or Bose bluetooth headphones as clicking on them in sound settings gives a few seconds play then jumps back to Receiver sound. Never saw these problems in reviews prior to purchasing beam gen 2. Sonos should give automatic refunds to unhappy purchasers. Also noticed tv off during the night. Sonos left on. Switching tv on in morning Sonos connects but sound defaults to 0. Had HDMI-cec sound problem as well. App said switch on  cec on tv settings. It was already on. I've only had the soundbar for a few days. Sonos sent me a welcome e-mail with tips etc. Unfortunately one was tapping with phone to set up well my Samsung A40 isn't new enough to do that. What about Trueplay sorry that's a no no no my phone is Android. These details are not easy to find when making purchase. The sales staff do not even know. Nevermind a refund should be comp

Hi all, new Sonos setup starting in my LR with Arc, Sub and 2 Ones for surround.  The location of the TV and the Arc (and maybe the Sub) are capable of using a wired Ethernet connection.  I have a 3-node Linksys Velop Tri-Band mesh system shown by the crude blue symbols.  Wondering if I should start by trying the Wifi and see how it goes.  I have good Internet (stream video to multiple sets with no issues) and never have issues with Wifi connections.  Fallback would be to wire the Arc and use SonosNet.  Thoughts?I forgot to add that the Internet (cable) comes into Bedroom 3, that’s the location of the router main node as well.  To get to the TV/Arc connection, I’d need to connect Bedroom 3 to the wiring panel/switch in the garage (house has Cat 5 wiring) and then back to the TV alcove.  The reason for the location of the node in the MBR is to get wifi to my telescope computer when in the backyard.OB 

We love our Sony XBR55A8G. I had a Sonos Playbar and after reading so many reviews on the Sonos ARC, I bought one. I was disappointed when I found that I did not have the ability to make use of Dolby Atmos. Then I just came across two youtube reviews on the HD Fury. I purchased one and then ordered new cables from the suggested vendor. They are 2.1 compliant.When I put everything together, I confirmed that I had the latest firmware. I get video, but get no audio. Further, there is no reading on the screen of the HD Fury. Even after unplugging and replugging in everything as suggested in other queries, It does not give an indication that I am feeding a signal in.Any suggestions? Should I just send it back and ask for a refund? MEP - RFGroup

Hi, all.I am torn between the Arc and Beam Gen 2.I have a high vaulted ceiling. I understand the Arc has two upward firing drivers that may not be suitable to create the atmos effect.Was wondering will Beam Gen 2 be a better choice as it does not have upward firing drivers?

Hi everyone, I received my Sonos Roam yesterday and I am quite concerned by the battery drain on standby mode.My roam is losing about 10% every hour on standby, which brings us to 10hours but I was expecting 10 hours in playing mode.Should I be concerned by those stats are it was the expected consumption?Thank you !

I’m pretty set on my home theatre setup for my living room, but I’m looking to have a full main floor setup for music listening. I’m not really familiar with sonos like could I connect my home theatre setup with separate sonos speakers for the sub and music listening. Here is a layout of what I was thinking. I’m open to suggesting for the dining room/kitchen. The area is not huge and budget is unlimited. Ideally I’d be  playing music through an alexa or something like that. Thanks 

Hiya. I currently have a older connect amp (white one) and was wondering if I got the latest black one with 125 amps. Would it play louder.It’s hooked up to a pair of Celestion Ditton 25 speakers. Plus when using an old I pod with line in the volume is crap even with everything on max.  I’m not too good with Tech so simple replies please.  Help please.  

Hello, I know Sonos beam does not have bluetooth. I would like to know if it is possible to connect directly (wireless) a Sonos Beam via Airplay using Netflix, Prime or Flex in order to have the sound from the Sonos Beam speaker ? Best,
