Spaces & Setups

I’m having problems with my play ones audio kicking out and sometimes the audio sound as if it is coming from a tin can.  (mostly listening to internet talk radio).  I’m wondering if it is because of how I have it set up.   Also the audio sounds much better if I stream via the TV app (YouTube TV) vs playing through the apple tv app Youtube TV.  Right now watching TV I have no audio from my play 1’s.Apple TV 4KLG smart TVBoost- ethernet to Linksys velop router not spectrum modemPlaybar-,ethernet connected to boost.  Optic fiber to TVSub  and 2 play 1’s wifi on sonos boost.I turned off trueplay  because it makes it worse.Music playback fullI’ve considered disabling the whole system and start over,  I don’t think I’m getting the great sonos audio.  I realize this is not a real 5:1 but I expected better audio quality. 

I already have a Sonos system with a Playbar, Sub & 2 x Play:3s, and I’m looking at adding my old turntable & CD player.It looks like my best options are the Amp or getting a second hand Connect:Amp online. And Amp would be about three times the cost, what would I be missing out on if I went for the older options? I seem to remember reading a conversation that for some reason I might even be better off with a connect:amp but can’t find it or work out why that would be? 

Newbie and can’t seem to find the answer, but if I connect a turntable to port, can I stream that output then to the Arc and a sub?

Hvorfor bliver der bare ved og ved med at være så laaaang ventetid på arc’en!? Det er sq da ikke imponerende! 😴

I am wanting to set a sonos sub up in a room where i have ceiling speaker connected to a sonos Amp. The Amp is in a closet where I have a “home run” setup.  It seems the Sub is too far from the AMP to get a signal from it in the room, I can move it to a different room, closer to the Amp and it will work.   Evidently the sub talks directly to whatever its paired to and not separately like other sonos speakers.   Is there any way to get a better signal to the Sub?  current setup is WM:1   thx

I’ve been using Plex with Sonos for a while, and after the time it took to get everything set up I’m loath to change it, but I’m looking for something that doesn’t need to be online to work.Yes, Plex can be configured to work just on the local network, but it’s not how the product is built and isn’t the most reliable of changes.  

Just got the Beam yesterday. Playing soft classical piano and sometimes during a movie there is a fuzzy distortion on the high notes. Is this a hardware issue?

YouTube music took over Google play music which I have used for several years on my Sonos systems. The YouTube music Sonos app is just terrible.When you search for an artist there is no list of top songs, there are individual albums, often with one single song under each album.  There are songs by that artist listed under "songs" that aren't listed under the artist, so the songs are in YouTube music they're just not showing up on the search by artist function. For example, search for “Darlene Love” and several albums show up under “artists”, but not all her songs- you can go to the “songs” tab, and two other songs show up that aren't under “artists”. It’s ridiculous that simple searching doesn’t work.  There are no YouTube music “Stations” or “Genres”. You can't create a radio station based on a song. There is no genre searching. There are  very few playlists from the YouTube music. If you search for Christmas music, nothing comes up even though they have a million stations on the desk

HiI think this LPCM update just completely screwed me up with my small collection of blurays with DTS. I have an LG CX that cannot passthrough DTS I play my blurays on an oppo203 player, before the update I would get stereo 2.0 with its blurays, player was set to bitstream. Since new update I cannot get any audio at all, I tried all the audio settings on the 203, Bitstream, auto and LPCM.I don’t understand where the issue lies.

I have Sonos ceiling speakers for rear surround sound and I’m wondering if wall mounting an arc above or below a TV makes a difference? Also is there a distance from the ceiling it should be mounted at? 

I need to purchase the adapter cable that has HDMI and optical input that the beam system brings

Hello. We are in the process of renovating our older home, and we are going to add an outdoor patio. The patio will be covered. The electronics not be exposed to direct weather, but we do have a fair amount of summer humidity where we live.We are going to mount a tv in a protected area, but I'm looking advice on speakers. I would rather not add an amplifier. We primarily want to listen to tv or stream music, and would like to switch between the two seamlessly. We will be streaming tv via roku or chromecast.My original thought was a Sonos Arc, but I am worried about the humidity. A Sonos 5 is a possibility, but I am unsure if you can direct wire into the tv.Does anyone have any advice?Thanks in advance.

I have a Beam, Sub and two play 1s connected via Hdmi Arc to Sony KD49XF90. The system works perfectly every day until exactly 3 minutes after midnight, then switches to the internal TV speakers. I've seen a few similar posts in the forum but nothing about the time of day affecting the connection. I assume it's something to do with a setting somewhere, but after trying loads of different things, it still switches without fail. Any help would be appreciared.

What can I add to make my Sonos system better I have the Arc,sub, and 2 one sl’s don’t get me wrong it is awesome I am one for always making improvements not that they are needed 

Hi In order to add my favorite radio station I need to add its URL.Where can I find the URL of RSG (http://web.sabc.co.za/digital/player/1.0/rsg/index.html)RegardsMartin

Can the Sonos Arc be mounted flush with the bottom of the tv if the top speaker grill is in front of the tv? I am assuming if the speaker grill clears the front of the tv the upfireing speakers should be fine. If not, how low is needed so that Dolby Atmos will sound good. 

Have the sonos arc plugged into the tv using eARC and I’m having an issue with it not responding to volume control from the cable or TV remote. I also have it connected to gen 3 sub and 2 play one SL. If I’m watching tv on my Sony Bravia X850G for a long period of time and need to adjust the volume, it won’t respond. The volume indicator will show on the screen but actual sound won’t increase/decrease. I have to power cycle the tv and wait about 5 min to turn it on for it to be able to control the volume. Is this an issue with my tv or the arc itself? Had the playbar before the arc and it never did this. 

Hi all,I’ve just got a Beam, and have connected it to the TV via HDMI. All working well, and the app shows I’m sending a Dolby Digital 5.1 signal when the source has one.I’ve added two Symfonisk bookshelf speakers as a rear pair for surround sound. These setup successfully, but then I hear nothing from either speaker.I’ve tried recreating the surround links, checking audio input settings, but nothing seems to make the speakers output sound.Any ideas?

Can i listen to what's playing on sonos in my Samsung S9? I want to send what's playing on sonos into my headphones... 

I have an activity that turns on Sonos Playbase and a Sonos One.The volume controls both, but mute only works on Playbase, which is connected via optical to the TV. Any thoughts on muting?  Goal: Mute both or multiple devices from the Harmony Mute button.

I’ve just sold my play bar, and it appears as a redeemed product, but how do I get the 30% off the beam I am about to buy. As the play bar is no longer connected to my system?

Dear members, Since today I have a Sonos Five (horizontally spreading love in the room). Also activated Tidal hifi a while ago and am a long time Spotify user.  So I tried both music services (since the S2 Sonos now supports “hifi”) to see if the difference is substantial and worth the double monthly fee of Tidal.  In short I have a real hard time hearing any difference (maybe with some of the Master quality songs it’s slightly improved).  Can anyone tell me if there is an actual difference between both sound qualities on a Sonos speaker. I’ve red the “facts” - the lossless support - but I’m not that impressed..  Many thanks for any advice or experiences!

Hi,I already did some research on matching amplifiers and speakers, but there’s a lot of contradicting information on the internet. I hope I can get a more conclusive answer here.I’m looking to buy a Sonos Amp, but I’m not sure if it will be compatible with my speakers. They are very old, from the 70s, KEF Concertos.I know the Amp has 125W/channel at 8 ohms. This is the information I found concerning my speakers:Nominal impedance: 8 ohms Rated max power: 50 watts programme Sensitivity: 9.5w into nominal 8 ohms produces 96db at one metre in anechoic conditions Amplifier requirements: 15-50 watts per channel into 8 ohmsAm I right if I say that the Amp is actually too powerful for my speakers, but it will work and won’t do harm as long as I don’t go past a certain volume percentage? Can I use the Sonos app to limit the volume to let’s say 40% to be sure?Thanks in advance for your help!

Is it possible to connect both my Sonos Beam and two hard wired speakers to my Amp for surround sound purposes whilst at the same time using the same Amp to connect to 2 separate hard wired speakers (just to play music through them but not wanting them to play the surround sound from the tv)? Or does they require 2 Amps?

IMac with Big Sur OS; Bluetooth Activated & H’phones ‘connected’. Music source used for Sonos is iTunes Library & PlaylistsSonos Bridge; Play-1; Play-3 Simple question - can I use my H’phones to listen to my Music on Sonos (I can do this by listening directly to iTunes i.e through ‘Music’ option on iMac) & if so how do I set this up? Thank you Keith
