is it possible to use a Sonos ACE connected to an ARC Ultra;hearing through the ACE but still having the Utra working (sounding the film)?

When I use the Sonos app on my iPhone to play music, does the app display the music format?  Dolby Atmos is displayed on the Sonos app when Apple TV is the music source.  But I can’t tell the format when the music source is the Sonos app (or at least I don’t know where it is displayed). This came up because music played with Apple TV sounds different.  Clearer. Thanks,Tom Morris

I have a upper and lower deck wanting to add a new zone for lower deck. Their is a JBL2210 sub powered by bridged crown 1502 for the upper deck mounted to ceiling of lower Deck.Will the sonos amps allow me to use a Y cable from both sub outs to a common 1 channel crown amp?Or will it require a type of autosensing RCA switch to flip the sub from (upper deck sonos amp zone 1) to (lower deck sonos amp zone 2)? 

I am in the process of moving into a new home that needs to be wired with a whole house speaker system. There will not be the opportunity to install volume controls in each room.I would like to use my Denon Receiver that has two zones for Multi-Sourcing to other amps with RCA cable to split the signal and power 12 pairs of speakers I currently have in my home.My question is can the Sonos Amps connect to my receiver and daisy chain with other Sonos amps so one music source can feed all the Sonos amps in sync? My Denon receiver Is the main source for my home theater and multi-sourcing thru-out the house and in need to somehow control the volume with each set of speakers. Complicated question and I hope it makes sense.  

Hi, can you let me know the best recommended set up to connect an Arc with a PC for listening to video (no TV available unfortunately to connect HDMI-ARC cable) streamed through a PC - eg. SkyGo - I think there are various set ups, but want the best without delay on the video content. Thanks for your help

Hi, I need your help setting up my Beam gen 2. In the end I think my tv is to old (I hope I’m wrong).  LG OLED55C7V (launched 2017) Apple TV 4K (latest) Sonos beam gen 2 What I understand, my tv only have ARC port for hdmi and not eARC. When having the Apple TV set to Dolby Atmos, I can’t have the sound to be synced because I don’t have earc ports. So I tested Dolby digital 5.1. But then I can’t get the sound synced properly and it did also get a little pulsing sometimes.  Last try I set it to Stereo. Now the sound got synced. But the sound sometimes sound like it’s in a pipe / tube. Really weird.  Other settings on my Apple TV are: 4K SDRYCbCr4:4:4Match dynamic range and frame rate On my LG TV it’s set to: Bypass/pass throughDTV is set to autoSimplink onOutput PCM When turning Dolby Atmos off in Apple TV and let it use standard surround and also set the Output in LG to Auto instead of PCM. Now it sends Dolby Digital 5.1 and the weird “pipe”-sound is gone. But, the sound gets a little

There should be a further option in the ‘Queue Management’ dropdown; that is ‘Add To Front Of Queue’.Isn’t that how Sonos used to work?Correspondingly the user should be able to specify a default setting for this to avoid having to visit the dropdown at each visit.

Hello everyone, and happy summer!I'm looking for support and help from experienced users!I'll try to be as brief as possible to focus on my biggest concern: I'd like to improve the audio experience by installing sound-absorbing panels!My biggest concern (and the questions I've been asking myself) is this: as you know, panels can usually be placed on the wall just above the TV, on the wall behind us, on the side walls, and on the ceiling!But since our Sonos systems are designed with audio that "reflects" and "bounces" off the side walls (like the ERA 300, the ARC) and on the ceiling for the Atmos effect, would it be incorrect to place these panels on the ceiling and side walls? I think the audio that should "bounce" off the walls and ceiling is "absorbed" by the panels, and therefore it would be a mistake to install them! Is this correct? Perhaps the only ones we can place are on the wall in front of us, right above the TV and soundbar?Thank you to anyone who will be so kind as to clari

Greetings from Rhode Island.My question is whtat hardware (and how many?) do I need to upgrade to the latest platform which i believe is Sonos 2.I have Sonos one hardware driving Sonos One Speakers. There are 8 outdoor speakers in four locations and 10 indoor speakers in 5 locations. I assume I can use the Sonos one speakers I have with the new Sonos 2 hardware. Many thanks for any insight. Paul

App just gets worse and worse - slowly replacing all my 6 with smart speakers of another brand

Era speaker won’t identify any songs from Services or library.   Gustavo only replies. “Nothing is playing”. Doesn’t matter if I’m using the app or the S2 on the Mac.  Anyone else have this issue and how did you resolve it?  Not using Google or Alexa assistants 

Hi. Curious if folks are using conduit and, if so, what type - e.g., PVC? I’ve seen mixed feedback when searching online. Thanks!

Does anybody have a recommendation for purchasing CD quality FLAC files? I’d like a legitimate site as I have no plans of pirating my music.ThxMarty

Three related requests.When selecting a recently played entry that is no longer valid Sonos offers to remove the associated Favorite, it would be good to also remove the recently played entry.As many recently played entries are useless, just a generic name that is of no help, or are something you want to avoid playing/being again a delete option would be good.As above since some entries have generic and useless names, allow us to rename them something useful. I don't need multiple "Top Songs" entries with no clue as to who's top songs shown.  

After housing for a week or so when it worked fine,  some reason Sonos could not find 3/5 pieces of kit and says “this kit is part of another system, reset and add to new system” - a real pain to have to force the reset on each and add - using “Sonos network” when it asked.however for 1 piece, this doesn’t work - it says created temp Sonos network “ but my phone cannot find it to connect to. Have tried adding it to system via Ethernet network but when I try and access it it disappears from the system and needs readding - any suggestions ? 

Hello all, After some advice regarding my current setup, and potential upgrades. The system is in my pizzeria - simple setup, a pair of OneSL’s with Sub, and a Five in a seperate room. I stream music from my macbook air all day long, works great.I’m looking to add a TV. Would like to be able to airplay video/audio from my macbook to the TV, and obviously have the Sonos system take care of the audio.Was thinking of adding an ARC Ultra to the setup.Just wanting to make sure this is technically feasible before purchasing. Thanks! Larry  

Hello - I just bought my first Sonos speaker (Era 100) and was going to use it as my alexa mic.  For some reason - I ONLY see Sonos voice assist as an option when picking voice assist.  I’ve linked and relinked the alexa app and tried pretty much everything suggested.   Can I even use the Era 100 with Alexa voice assistant?  I will be returning this speaker if not.  

So I have a arc ultra 2 era 100s and a mini sub as my living room set up. I just recently bought another mini sub and 2 era 300s. How do I connect all of them together to for one living room system using the 300s as the surrons and the 100s as a stero pair. Is this even possible. I can't seem to connet everything together.

When using connected apps or services the time length of songs/tracks is not shown.  Am I missing a toggle in settings to display this or can I make a request to have this information added to UI? Thank you!

I have set up a new Sonos system and I am connected to it. The problem is that I cannot add music services like Spotify and I cannot update my music library. I can pick Spotify to add then I click on “connect to Spotify” then when I click on “Authorize” nothing happens. I restarted everything. I changed my password all the things that are suggested then I called Sonos and they said that this was a known problem and their engineers are working on it. This pertains to the S one app.

Quando non si usa può  stare sulla base di ricarica o bisogna toglierlo? Moderator Note: Google Translate- When not in use, can it stay on the charging base or do you have to remove it?

(I may have originally put this question in the wrong place...so my apologies for the dup)Can i sync 3 wireless Sonos’s...with one in the front yard, back yard and inside?  If so, what do I need to do that and what would the least expensive wireless speaker/system solution? Thanks

Dear all Just ordered four Era 100 devices and quickly detected the issue, that the Alexa voice is compared to played music way too loud. I don’t see any option to reduce specifically Alexa voice, also reading of a bunch of issues in this forum - but mostly years ago and seemed to be fixed.  Any idea how to fix this? Otherwise need to return the order.  Much appreciated,Marco

Looking to purchase and install GARDEN SERIES SGS 8.1 OUTDOOR SYSTEM (8 - SATS, 1 - SUB).  I see that these systems include an optional SOnance Amp.  Would I need to purchase the Sonance Amp as well as the SONOS Amp, or will it work well connecting direct to the Sonos amp
