Spaces & Setups

Hi Everyone!I have two Beam immersive (surround with a beam, 2 one’s and a sub) in two different rooms.  The family room and the bedroom.   The bedroom sounds awesome.  The family room, not so much.  It has very high vaulted ceilings (probably 20ft at least) and the sound just gets lost in that space.   Should I get more one’s? another sub?  Maybe try a five??  To describe the issue, I would say it has less bass, less treble and even not enough direct sound coming from the center speaker (the beam).  I wanted to try the Arc, but it is so long, it really doesn’t fit anywhere.  Any suggestions are appreciated!Also, the lip sync gets off a lot in that same room.Thanks in advance!

Is there a limit of NAS drives that can be connected to Sonos?

Envisioned Living room set up: 2 Sonos in ceiling speakers - rear2 Sonos in wall speakers front on both sides of the TV1 Sonos Sub1 - Possibly the Arc under TVLooking to set up 5.1 with Sonos.  With the ARC I know it will be 5.1.2 which is cool too.  Questions: Can the above 6 speakers be powered 1 Amp? I know the 4 in-wall / in-ceiling speakers and the sub can be powered by 1 Amp but what about the ARC?  Is there another speaker besides the arc to give me that 5th speaker? And if so can it powered by the sam amp. If there is no other option besides the ARC to get me that 5th speaker and can’t be connected to the same amp then what is the best way to set this up?  Will the 5.1 or 5.1.2 be that much better than a 4.1 Sonos set up. (Yes I know this is subjective but would be curious on other’s opinions) 

Sooooo… It’s been a few years since all the last conversations on this. Any word on a way to connect sonos to PC that isn’t super sketchy?? Im using amazon music. Yes, i can buy songs, put them on a server, bla bla blah… But as it is, i listen to hundreds of songs and don’t want to have to buy them all. Anybody come up with a workable solution yet? I can try stream what you hear… but don’t know if i trust it.  I’m running windows 11 btw

I have a really nice new 65” LG OLED and I want to add some nice surround speakers to.  I do not have the option to run wires so I decided to add to my Sonos collection and pick up a Beam 2.  I likely would have bought an Arc if they were available right now.  My question is this...should I order an Arc or should I just add two 1 SL’s to the back of my room to compliment the Beam 2 in the front of the room?  I will use this setup for music sometimes but primary for watching movies.

Is the feature in the backlog?

Hi all , I'm still having an audio issue that I've posted about on the community , I just wanted to ask , I want to bypass my TV for the audio , so I currently have ....sky+ hd box to TV via HDMI Optical from sky+ HD box to beam TV speakers on zero volume I take it that even though the sky box is connected via HDMI the beam is now not connected to the TV because it's connected via optical to the sky box ?

Greetings, I could use some help or ideas on why I cannot seem to achieve Atmos delivery. Here are the specs I am working with:TV: A80JAUDIO: Sonos Beam (Gen 2) w/sub and two Play:1 surroundsMISC: Running Netflix/Disney+, etc. via the apps within GoogleTV. Also have a Sony Blu Ray Player, but this is not yet part of the equation.PROBLEM: Films marked as Atmos on Disney+ are still playing in 5.1 according to my Sonos app. I see the Atmos icon next to/under the title of relevant content. Netflix films which are listed as being available in Atmos only list 5.1 next to the title of the film.INFO:-I do have a Netflix premium sub, which should provide Atmos on content that feature this Codec. -I have flipped the Sony "Netflix Calibration" to "on" -I have used the HDMI cord that delivered with the Sonos equipment, as they suggest, and this is connected via the eArc port #3 -I have tried every sound & output setting I can think of with no success. I've just restored audio settings to the f

I have two Western Digital My Book Live NAS units installed similarly in two locations. As of several months ago, I am no longer able to index the library for both. The error message: “The [drive name] is no longer available.” On one, I deleted the music library hoping I could add it back in, and am unable to do so, displaying the same error message.  On the other, I am able to run my FLAC files with no problem, but cannot index. Sonos tech support has not been able to resolve - they are still working on it. The firmware has not changed for the NAS since 2015. I’m running S2 at both locations. Because of this situation, I am looking for current year 2022 recommendations for replacement NAS units in case I have to do so.

Hi All,Can anyone recommend how to stream high quality Grateful Dead?  I have SiriusXM but can’t figure out how to get the higher quality internet/app version to stream over sonos.  Satellite is understandably lower quality but there is a higher quality over the internet and over the phone app.  Has anyone dealt with this and have input?An altogether new GD streaming source would be great to learn of also.  Any input?thanks,Dave

I am building out a home network and Sonos solution at the same time. I am planning on having a couple of amps wired via ethernet in a closet, but I also want to add one by our pool area. The SonosNet wifi definitely won’t reach there, but our home internet will, which would mean I’d need to go with a wireless setup, right? If that’s the case, will ethernet work on the ones inside the closet despite being in a wireless setup?

The 13.4.1 S2 update added hi-res (Ultra HD) and Dolby Atmos audio support from Amazon Music Unlimited. With this update, Sonos released this great article about hi-res audio and how you can listen to it on Sonos. It’s a very detailed and well-written article:https://blog.sonos.com/en-us/hi-res-audio-guide

How can I listen to BBC local radio when the Winter Olympics are on ?

I purchased a Sonos Roam - it did not work. I have returned it and purchased another is the hopes that the first was simply defective. How do I remove the original Roam product from my account - as I have returned it to the store.

i have a sonos amp connected HDMI to my TV and line-in to my peloton. When using LFE to my 3rd party subwoofer, the line-in removes 75% of the bass which means i have to increase the gain to hear it at the same level when just using the sonos app. When using HDMI from the TV, or the sonos app, the subwoofer is way too loud which means each time I use the line in, i have to adjust the sub gain in the app up and then move it back down when watching TV or listening to music.Is this a known issue? How can i either set the equalizer unique to each input or have the bass output be the same across all inputs?

I’d like to take my pair of Sonos Moves to a friends house for a visit. What’s involved in hooking them up to a different wifi (while the rest of my sonos gear remains home) and then hooking them back up to my wifi when I get home?

Moderator note: Newer Sonos products do support Bluetooth. Please see our support article Use Bluetooth on Sonos for more information. Hi All,I am aware that Sonos beam does not support Bluetooth, but has anyone tried using any kinds of converter that helps to enable bluetooth connectivity with Sonos beam ?I have an LG HU70LA projector with firestick, which I want to mount on ceiling. I don’t want to run an HDMI cable from ceiling to Sonos beam since its an hasstle.I am looking to connect Sonos beam to firestick from projector.Anyone aware of solutions?

Well, Sonos delivered on their promise to bring DTS Surround 5.1 support to the Arc. Below is what I got with the following source and equipment. Maybe DTS:HD will come later. DTS:X is a long shot IMO.Disc: Alien 40 Anniversary / 4K Ultra HD Video / DTS:HD AudioSonos Equipment: Arc with Sub x 2 and Sonos One x 2 /  Sonos S2 app v13.4.Transport: Panasonic DP-UB9000 Ultra 4K Blu-Ray Player > Audio Settings: DTS HD to DTSMonitor: LG OLED 65 inch C9PUA > Audio settings: HDMI eArc / Pass-Through  

Would you PLEASE add Scribd to Sonos Services?I asked this 2 years ago and still nothing and I have not been the only one, I reached out to Scribd and they said it has to come from your end, not theirs.I also requested the add to queue option for audiobooks like there is for music, would love to know where this is in development as well.

Hi, I had the problem that dialogs were extremely soft on my Sonos Arc + Sub + 2x One surround. I already tried:Enabling Speech Enhancement Enabling Night Sound Tuning via TruePlay Disabling the 2x One Surround Disabling Loudness Manually tweaking EQ Resetting to factory defaults and trying these things once moreThe problem remained. I found several threads with people reporting the same problem, some even returning their Arc:https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/ocsxnw/arc_dialogue_too_quiet/ And they all provided the same tips and strategies that I already tried and listed abive. Some of the tips would help maybe 20%, but dialogs remained extremely soft to the point where I too considered returning the Arc. I was coming from the Playbar and never had such issues.Then I found this post:  which explained that the Arc does not support LPCM which my Apple TV 4K was sending out. In the Apple TV 4K’s audio settings, I had to explicitly opt out of Dolby Atmos and let it re-encode all

My local university radio station is cjsw.com. I can use my Sonos app to listen to the station with no issue. On the web site they have all the programming available to listen to after the fact. I can go back a month or two and listen to a show I may have missed. I can find no way on the Sonos app to open and play previous programming. Does anyone know if this is possible? If not possible it would be great if Sonos added this as a feature. And if it was dependent on the Radio Station allowing it I’m sure CJSW would be more than happy to oblige if a donation was made.

Hi Folks,I noticed today that below Sonos Radio stations have disappeared:Glide Path Drum & BassI’ve been unable to find an announcement about their removal.Are they missing for everyone?Does Sonos publish release notes for radio station changes? Many Thanks 

After my Samsung Galaxy S20 updated to Android 12/One UI 4, I have lost the Sonos controller as a lock screen widget. The latest OS seems to group lock screen widgets in categories, such as “Music.” All of my device music/podcast app controls work as lock screen widgets in the music/media output category. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the Sonos controller working again on the lockscreen - never fully recognized how useful it was until it was gone.
