Spaces & Setups

I have used the Amp connected to a TV via HDMI to act as the front of a surround system, left, right and phantom center channel, sub out and support Sonos speakers as rear surrounds.With the Amp set up in this configuration, running a powered sub from the sub out port, is that sub receiving the actual decoded subwoofer channel from Dolby, basically the .1 of 5.1 or does the Amp just use its crossover to feed low frequency from the left and right channels to the sub out port as it would in a stereo set up?Likewise, is the phantom center channel derived/created from the decoded center channel of Dolby 5.1 or is it purely simulated from the left and right channels?   

I have old Play 1s and want to add new Arc -- but Play 1 dont work on S2 -- will that work for surround? 

Hi,I have read so many different answers so here is my question: I got the new Beam with Dolby Atmos + SUB and i wonder how to setup my PS5 with it.I have HDMI from my Samsung Q85R arc to the Sonos Beam and from my PS5 to Samsung Q85R HDMI port 1.Which settings i choose for the best sound?TV, Soundbar or AV reciever?PCM, Dolby or DTS?My second question is when i shall choose Dolby Digital+ on my Samsung Q85R audio settings it jumps back to PCM but with Dolby Atmos setting active, is that normal? /Marco

Hi,The latest update brought some significant UI bugs. When I move mouse over UI controls they disappear (see attached screenshot). It works for all controls including menu and text boxes. Items may reappear if I move mouse very slow. But it’s unpredictable. I tried to reinstall the app with no success. I must mention that I’ve been using the Windows app for quite some time and it was always working fine. I use the latest (fully updated) Windows 10. Please help.Thanks,Dmitry 

On the web it says yes, but the application tells me that it is not available in my country, do I do something wrong?

Hi,I just started using Sonos Speaker One Gen 2 than i made quick research for the Dolby atmos and so and so than i remark i need buy Sonos Beam Gen 2 or Sonos Arc products but i have a complicated problem :(As i understood Sonos Beam Gen2 or Sonos Arc doesn’t provide Dolby Atmos via AirPlay 2 so i have projection setup at my home and it’s cell mounted with no ARC Support ? as i understood i can connect my apple tv4K directly to sonos beam 2 or sonos arc than as a out to my projection hdmi ? even my projection doesn’t support ARC hdmi ?Isn’t it any solution for Wireless Dolby Atmos AirPlay 2 or something like that ?

Since installing my Beam 2 I have found that there is a slight, but annoying, delay between screen picture and voice sounds.  This didn’t happen before. Is there a cure?  Thanks for any advice you can give. John. 

I have an Amazon Fire TV Cube with a HDMI connection to a projector.  I would like to connect my Playbar (which has an Optical Audio) but the Amazon Fire TV Cube does not have an Optical Audio connection.  So from the Fire TV I would like send the video to the projector and the audio to the Playbar. Is that possible?Thanks in advance. 

What happens to components that are “upgraded”? I notice people are selling them 2nd hand, but is it even possible to connect an upgraded component to a S1-system? I thought they would be rendered useless, as CR100 a few years ago.Or will they work on every other system but mine since I made the upgrade?Or will they still work, even on my own system if S1?There was a long text if I clicked “upgraded” but nothing on this as far as I could tell so I clicked cancel again.

Hi All,I have some oddities with my two setups. One is NVidia Shield 2019 connected to LG OLED B8, and then to an Arc. The other is a 4K Firestick connected an old Samsung LCD, and then to a Beam.I have a load of movies on Plex, and generally all good other then AAC 5.1 sound tracks not playing as 5.1 on the Arc; playback will only go through as 2.0 PCM. This is consitent from the Shield and also a 4k Firestick. All AC3 soundtracks are fine. DTS won’t play at all.On the Beam the AAC 5.1 plays fine as Dolby Digital 5.1 and also plays DTS as the same (transcoding).Other than convert the files from AAC to AC3, is there a way to sort this out for the Arc? I can play from the Plex app on the TV and all is ok, but the LG TV apps are clunky and slow and I’d rather avoid using them.Thanks

It’s a weird one but in the last month or so the surrounds and sub connected to my arc, keep dropping and I end up with “?” Listed in the system  its ONLY the ones connected to the arc, no the ones connected to a beam. The system is near a Google WiFi mesh router and is set to connect via WiFi as opposed to SonosNet. if I reboot the speakers, they work again, if I restart the WiFi, they work again too. I have tried dhcp reservations for the arc, surrounds and sub… same issue. Arc always works fine, it’s just the surround and sub that drops. I don’t have any issues with any other WiFi devices, it’s very odd. only started a month or so back. nothing has changed, that I am aware of. diag 1981386366 any ideas.

I have a Play 5 I think it’s Gen1, never really used it and wanted to sell it, is it even worth doing so?

Hello Community, Sonos,I was wondering if other people would find it usefull that you would recognize a full album vs a single in the Artist overview.example; you see 10 items below the “artist radio and Top Tracks. it would be handy if you could navigate to the full albums by recognizing them or if they were grouped? Thanks,first time question-askerToni

Can you listen to Sonos HD Radio over bluetooth or Airplay 2 with a Roam speaker? Do you still get the best quality or is that only when it’s part of your home system?

Hi everyone -I am looking to refine our home theater setup with a full Sonos surround sound system, and I could use a bit of advice.  I’ve seen pieces of this in other threads, but hoping someone can validate my plan here before I start ordering equipment.Currently I have a BENQ TK800 projector with a Chromecast with Google TV, wired to the line-in on a Sonos Connect feeding to our vintage Macintosh stereo receiver.  I want to go full surround and as wireless as possible. I also have a sentimental attachment to the Macintosh.Here’s what I am thinking:Chromecast 4k plugged into HDFury Arcana Arcana eARC → Sonos Amp Sonos Amp Speakers → Macintosh AUX inputs (stereo phantom center) Arcana HDMI → Wireless HDMI transmitter (OREI WUHD-PRO100-K ?) Wireless HDMI receiver → BENQ projector + Sonos Sub + 2x Sonos One SL for surroundsHere are my questions:First, I assume I can’t use my old Connect as any part of this and need to replace it with the Amp, right? Will this setup give me Atmos or just

I have 3 Sonos amps that are dedicated to 3 separate rooms.  As of now, my speakers are hardwired to the amps.  I can’t figure out how to play different musical tracks via Spotify Premium in separate rooms.  I can play a track in one room or a group of rooms, but not two different tracks in two different rooms.  This should be easy.

Looking to enhance recently acquired Arc with a sub.System version 13.3.2Just checking if it’s compatible

How can i listen to my own recordings saved on Google drive in my sonos?

Can the ARC upmix a Dolby 5.1 sound to use up firing speakers to create a pseudo Atmos sound?  I know it will not be as defined as true Atmos but I would want the ARC to use all the available speakers for the fullest sound possible.   

Hi all , hope you can help , I'm looking at buying a beam gen 2 bar , I only have sky HD , as the Sonos has 3 channels theoretically will I notice a difference in sound in the Sonos from my 2 channel Yas 306 Yamaha bar , Sonos will be connected via HDMI , Yamaha connected via optical , thanks 

What are the requirements of a HDMI cable that is used to connect Sonos Arc (HDMI Port - i suggest eARC HDMI 2.1) with a Beamer (S/PDIF Port) through the Sonos optical Adapter?

Hi everyone, does someone knows if there´s a Sonance small aperture speaker? Like de VP40 but for exterior, I’ve look’ed the VP6XT but not the VP4XT. Does someone knows if those exists?

Hi - I have just ordered a new TV Philips 48OLED806.With my old Panasonic TV I have an old Yamaha soundbar which has multiple inputs - I have for example a Sky Q system and also Apple TV and bluray player.  It’s currently wired so that each of these devices goes directly to the sound bar and I have to select a sound source for whatever I am watching.I am looking at BEAM2 - it appears to have only one input port?Does this mean that the sound will pass through the TV and then from the TV into the soundbar so I only need that one conneciton?If so, does this work and what do I need to watch out for there - I got the impression I have to look for something called ARC?Apologies for the silly questions but I really haven’t looked into this at all since the last time I bought a new TV about 8 years ago! 

Is there a way to order a replacement grill for a Sonos Play:5 Gen 2 speaker?
