Spaces & Setups

Hi,i have an arc sound bar installed on my fireplace under the tv.  about ten feet back I have passive ceiling speakers wired to a new Amp (not connect amp) upstairs in a media closet. They sound fantastic but I would love a way to connect the Arc with these Passive Amp powered speakers. Right now I can only see an option to add Play 1s as surrounds on the arc.  any options here to link everything together?

I have a roku remote that is not an IR remote control.  I paired it with my Sonos Beam when I first bought the Beam and used it for a couple of months.  One day, the remote no longer controlled the volume on my Beam and sonos system.  Can someone please tell me why this happened and what can be done to fix this problem so I can continue to use my Roku remote to control volume? Thank you,  

Hi Sonos Imvery satisfied with your product , I could be even more satisfied if you could add 977 hitz channel daytona to your channel , thank you

Is it possible to stream internet audio from a MacBook through Sonos? Specifically, is it possible to stream audio from a website accessed on a MacBook, through either a PlayBar, or a Sonos Connect? When I open AirPlay on my MacBook, it shows another set of Sonos speakers I have (Play 5), but it doesn’t show either a PlayBar, or a Connect system I also have.If this isn’t supported directly in the Sonos app, are there any third-party apps that might do it?There are a number of old, closed threads on this topic, but I couldn’t find answers in any of them. Thank you!

My Move will not make a sound. None of the button sounds or any music through either source.Rest of the system works fine.Is there a solution please?

I am replacing my Sonos Playbar with a Sonos Arc. The Playbar is currently mounted under the TV using a Sanus Universal Soundbar Mount (Model SASB1). Can I use that same mount for the Arc ? Mod Edit: Changed Play to Playbar for clarity.

hi,if I buy a Sonos Five can i add a external bluetooth adapter by using jack 3.5mm cable to the in line port?thank you

Hello! Can someone confirm whether a Sonos Amp will be compatible with a pair of Polk Audio L100s? The Sonos documentation for the Amp says “Your speakers’ power rating should be at least 125W for 8 ohm speakers, and at least 200W for 4 ohm speakers.”The Polk L100s are 4 ohm speakers and the documentation lists the Steady State Recommended Amplifier Power as 30-160W.I would think that would mean the Sonos Amp would be too powerful for those speakers, but I’ve even seen this combination recommended before online.Can anyone confirm whether this combination will work?Thanks!

Apple Music in June comes with hires sound, I read in various post that the native app in Sonos S2 is not available. With Airplay 2 from iPhone to Sonos Port I can stream lossless? Thanks Stefano

I have a new Beam and have set it up with two Play 3s - works fine.We also have a Sonos One - is it possible to add this to the surround sound so that it’s volume can be controlled when we use the Beam?

Hello, I have connected my youtube to sonos but I cannot see any else except the auto playlist. I have created a new one but it does not appear in the sonos. Can you navigate me, please?

I'm wondering how to solve my challenge.The setup is:Apple 4kTV HDMI to Optoma UHD380x optical out with HDMI converter to SONOS BEAM (Sonos beam paired with 2 play one and SUB)I guess the reason why I get STEREO PCM as listed input is that the conversion through the Optoma beamer or the conversion from the Optoma optical out to beam HDMI in port. Would there be a solution to get both the image onto my OPTOMA and the sound to my BEAM with 5.1 instead of Stereo PCM?! thank you so much!I guess the Optoma is the issue because the SPDIF only supports - SPDIF Out (2 channels PCM).beamer: https://www.projectors.co.uk/optoma-uhd380x-projector/Is there something like an HDMI splitter so that I directly after the Apple 4K tv split the audio from video into two HDMI cables; one going to the beamer and one to the Sonos Beam?

I can’t get the swipe feature with the Move speaker to skip songs or go to previous songs when playing from the Spotify app or Sonos S2 app. I have a paid account with Spotify. Move is up to date. Play/pause and volume buttons work fine.  Is this a “when applicable” situation? Or am I overlooking a setting?

Hi all,I’m after a bit of guidance here, I’m buying a house that has two wired ceiling speakers in each of 4 rooms that I would like to make use of. I believe they are Sonos speakers, they may be a good few years old, but I see no reason why I cant install an up-to-date setup that enables these four separate zones to be used. What would I need to buy to do this?I’ve done some research, but struggling to get my head around this. Do I need a multi-channel amp? Do Sonos even make one? Or do I simply need to buy 4 x Sonos Amp’s (one for each room/zone) and stack them? I think it might be as simple as that, I buy 4 x Amps, connect them to the internet and name them appropriately for each room/zone, control them from Sonos app on my phone?Is that it? Or is there something better I can do?

Hello I have a question,I currently have a Sonos Arc, sub and 2x Sonos one in the living room.in addition one Simphonysk in the bedroom.If I will add a port with a turntable (with its preamp of course), do I need specific speakers (pre-amplified of course) to connect directly to the port, or can I cast the vinyl directly to the other existing Sonos speakers that I already have?In general, would be better to connect the turntable to a sonos five or to a port?Any differences in the DAC between the 2 components?thanks

Apple have just announced CD quality and 24bit high resolution lossless playback for Apple Music coming in June 2021. Is Sonos going to be able to play these lossless files direct from Apple Music like Tidal?

I have been lurking on these forums since I pre-ordered the Roam a month or so back. In the last few weeks I have been watching the threads about battery drain closely. I, like others, am experiencing what I consider sub-par battery performance.Since the software update last week (13.1) I expected improvement, but the device appears to still wake itself up (white light on at random times) and thus drain battery.I saw a suggestion that the device was designed to constantly be sat on a QI charger when not in use. I have several Native Union QI charger’s around the house (rated: AirPods up to 5W, iPhones up to 7.5W & other Qi compatible devices up to 10W). I have been leaving the Roam on these chargers when not in use. Upon placing on the pad the white light will turn on, I assumed by design, but whenever I lift the Roam off these pads the battery is usually very low.What’s going on? This device is very close to being returned.(Ps. We have no other Sonos products so I only have the ap

[Solved: see 4th post] Hi! This is quite odd: My Roam in Bluetooth mode allows me to adjust the volume, no problem.My Move doesn’t. The volume slider on the phone changes, but it has no effect on the actual volume. That can seemingly only be controlled when I hit the touch buttons. This is quite ridiculous, given it should be very similar firmware and adjusting your volume in Bluetooth mode seems like a very common use case for a speaker that’s supposed to be used, on the move, without available Wifi. When is a fix for this coming? Should be trivial, given it already works with the Roam. Thanks. L

Hey for all I am looking to buy Sonos arc but I am curious about something and my question is when using arc while watching for example YouTube will the arc decode that as stereo and if so , will the Sonos arc work only like a 2.0 soundbar meaning only the left and right channel will work ? thanks so much for everyone .

Hi,Long-time SONOS user here but now considering expanding and upgrading my system to include a soundbar (Arc or Beam), sub, and upgrading my old Play:1s with One SLs.The problem I have is that I’m not sure I have space for a soundbar. Got a Panasonic TX58DX902B here, which we like and unlikely to upgrade any time soon. On the supplied stand, the bottom of this TV screen is only 40 mm above the surface of the unit on which is sits.The height of the Beam is 68.5 mm.The height of the Arc is 87 mm.Both of these soundbars would be higher than the bottom of the TV screen.I don't want to wall mount the TV, but I suppose I could consider getting a plinth on which it could sit.The other alternative is that the soundbar could sit on the metal base, below the cabinets or I could wall mount the soundbar behind the TV.Any good suggestions on what to do here, please?Thanks,Steve

Hi all,After last week’s software update on my Sonos Arc, my Arc does not play any TV sound anymore unless I physically remove the power from it. I am, however, able to play music through the Arc just fine (via the Sonos app).Here’s my setup:Apple TV 4K LG C8 OLED HDMI ARC linkThe problem occurs after the TV has been switched off and then switched on again. Nothing else changed in my setup or device firmware except for the Sonos software update.Anyone experiencing this as well? Any tips or ideas? Thanks!

Hi!The music streaming service “KKBOX” currently launched high res. music streaming and just would like to know if this work with the SONOS speakers? Hope someone from SONOS can help to advise, thanks!!

Why the trueplay is not YET supported on my iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd génération). It’s unacceptable.

I’m looking to attach my Sonos Beam to a MantelMount 540, and am curious if others have a particular mount they found works best with this configuration. I know of the highly regarded Sanus one, but am not sure this would allow for the use of the MM handle.Thanks in advance!

I have a 65x900b Sony series with and Sonos Arc connected in hdmi arc port. Also I have an amp for rears. Built-in Netflix tv app play 5.1 with no problem but none of the third party streaming devices play DD+ or Atmos, only stereo. I tested Roku ultra, google tv, PS4 and apple tv.
