Spaces & Setups

I just upgraded my controller to 12.2.2 (OS S2) and the iPhone app is now super slow, and sometimes freezes, any ideas or fixes out there?App tells me it’s also 12.2.2.I have done all the usual, reboots, resets etc - no changes. Other iPhones are also slow, also does not mater what source i am trying to play !!any ideas? And Happy New Year !!!!  

I have a turntable and intend to retire my whole stereo sound systems, replacing it with my recently bought Sonos ARC which is connected to my TV now. However, I have a turntable which I am not sure if I can connect to ARC. I assume I need some equipment to connect to the TV and out to Sonos ARC but it would mean I need to have my TV on when I use the turntable ? I was looking at AMP and I suspect it is not the system to do it, as it connect to existing speakers not to ARC. Any advice out there ?  

I am trying to install a Sonos Arc right above my motorized projector screen. Please see digram. There is a hanging decorative box in the middle of my middle room which is ideal to install an in-ceiling flushed motorized projector screen,  ~16 feet throw distance to the projector.  This room also has vaulted ceiling.  I am planning on using HDFury Arcana to split the 4K+Atmos from Apple TV 4k and send audio to Sonos Arc and 4k Video to projector. Since there is nothing in the middle of the room (no walls) to install the sound bar, the only place I can think of is above the screen , right at the edge (see digram).  Atmos requires upward angled speakers to drive sound with an angle to the ceiling so they can reflect back to the listening position and create the feeling of fully emerged sound. In order to get the front facing speakers in Arc to point to the sitting position, I have to tilt down the arc about 28 degrees. This means the already angled speakers on top of Arc will be pointing

By now everyone has heard about the HDfury Arcana: eARC Adapter that is now available for pre-order.  It’s touted to relieve lip-sync issues associated with the Sonos Arc among other things. Read about the proposed benefits of the HDfury Arcana: eArc Adapter here. This information is not intended to deter anyone from ordering the Arcana (I’m contemplating ordering it for testing).  However, my expectations are not that it will be a “cure-all” for every situation regarding Sonos. Below are two things regarding the HDfury Arcana: eARC Adapter you should know: The Arcana may negate Alexa/Google voice assistance between your TV and the Arc (as well as the Beam). Things such as on/off, volume and input switching via voice. Note: The Stretch Goal for the Arcana claims it may not  The Arcana will not bring Dolby Atmos to the Beam; although it may improve DD5.1 interoperability with some sources and reduce lip-sync issues While the above may seem obvious...experience here in the community h

Hijust set up my new Arc with my Sony A1 oled tv  I have done plenty reading here about atmos/arc/earc etc  sony a1 does not have eArc which I knew !but maybe I read too much here  about this so maybe someone can clear something up for me ! set was easy and  arc sounds beautiful …now I have upgraded from a pretty old home cinema so any upgrade would be better ..doh !! anyway while playing a a good example of Dolby 5.1  I tried “6 underground” on Netflix, I seen that this was in Dolby atmos …so expected it to play in Dolby 5.1 while playing through the Sonos app the sound says on the app Dolby atmos !!if I do not  have an eArc on Sony a1 should this not say Dolby 5.1 Iam  sure i read here that the app will play/decode only what it receives from tv    

I received my ARC today and my immediate impression is that it is a major step backward from the sound quality of the BEAM.  Anyone swapped out the BEAM for an ARC and achieve positive results?  Same iPhone 12 phone used for Trulpay tuning of both setups.  Anyone regretted not returning their ARC within the 45 day window?   I really want to love this thing but it doesn’t sound as good as it’s little brother IMO. 

when will my roam arrive

I have an  Sonos Arc connected to a Samsung TU8000 television via EARC. I am unable to watch DTS encoded blu rays because my TV won't pass through LPCM, but rather only passes through stereo PCM. What is my least expensive workaround for this issue? I don't understand why it was a benefit for Sonos to issue a firmware update to support LPCM when according to rtings.com no television can pass-through multi channel LPCM. Thanks for any help.

So I have a Playbar, and 6 other Sonos One speakers around my house…(trouble is they are all pre-Airplay2)If I were to buy the Roam and Airplay direct to that and group all the speakers to the Roam, does that mean I can effectively have Airplay2 from my iphone Music app throughout the house?

I am planning to set up Sonos Sub + Sonos Amp + HiFi bookshelves. Is there a possibility of purchasing a Graphic Equalizer and via Amp EQing the system's sound? Most importantly frequency range of 1k-9k, mainly treble. If I can EQ the Sub that's great but my main goal is EQing the speakers. Thanks. 

I currently have a projector with an Amazon Firestick and a BluRay player plugged into its two hdmi inputs. Stereo audio out from the projector goes to a stereo Bluetooth speaker (JBL Extreme) via a cable.I've just moved house and now have a dedicated cinema room. I want to use a Sonos Arc to give me a Dolby Atmos capability but need to be able to stream videos (from a 4K Amazon Firestick), play BluRay videos and also play Xbox games. The Arc only has a single HDMI input so what's the solution? 

Can you add a bluetooth device like a turntable and use the Roam to play on your system?

Contemplating purchasing the Sonos Amp, with 4 new Sonos ceiling speakers to replace some low end ones currently installed. Can I run the wireless Sonos sub whilesimultaneously playing with the music in the 4 ceiling speakers ??

Hi everyone,I was very excited to hear that Qobuz now supports Hi-Res streaming on Sonos S2 devices. However my excitement rapidly changed to dissapointment I realised that most of Qobuz’s catalogue is higher than the 24-bit/48 kHz which Sonos supports. Anything higher is played 16-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC which defeats the purpose. I have asked Qobuz if they could make their entire catalogue of Hi-res available in 24-bit/48 kHz but it is  a big ask and I don’t hold that much hope that it will happen. I wonder what the community thinks about this.Thanks 

Can I use 2 upgrade discounts on the one new product purchase?

My question, does the Sonos Subwoofer output uses the 0.1 LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel from Dolby 5.1? And where/how can I verify or test it?If it is not there, you will loose low freq special effects in the audio.I own a Onkyo A-9050 (stereo amp with subwoofer RCA out), but when it broke I used schematics to repair it. Then I noticed that the subwoofer out was just a 80hz lowpassfilter and the 0.1 LFE channel was not used at all even when the amp had a Optical input.My setup is a B&W DM605 S2 and I now use a Optical TOSLINK from my 2019 LG-TV but I will change to HDMI ARC with a new 2.1 Amp. (maybe the SonosAmp).hopefully someone can help me.  

I’m looking for advice on which Sonos product I could use with ViewSonic X10-4K - a wireless connection doesn’t seem to work, so I believe I’d rely on cable connection? I’d appreciate any help, thank you.

Hi everyone, I am a developer and Im building a .NET app in order to play music from Sonos ZP100 using Spotify. Or alternatively with music plugged into an USB. I tried using the UPnP protocol but it doesn seem to be the right way to reproduce songs. I am only able to play pause stop seek next previous and volume controls but nothing else. Do somebody know how to do something similar?The perfect example is the SONOS S1 app that after linking spotify account can reproduce songs

It would be great to have the connection in the SONOS app to Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE’s app YLE Areena. This way we could listen to all the national broadcasting company’s radio channels plus all their audio material. https://areena.yle.fi/audio So far the YLE channels have been broadcasted via MyTuner radio, but now it has stopped working with Sonos for some reason.

LMS offers some interesting features which you can use alongside the standard Sonos setup.  Using LMS requires that you install the server software on a networked device (eg. a PC running Windows, iOS, or Linux, and even some NAS) - a popular choice is the Raspbery Pi (even including the ultra-cheap Pi Zero at 20 USD).   Installing the software is a task for an average user (and is largely accomplished via a web-browser interface).  Once installed, Sonos devices are seen by LMS as squeezebox players, and have full access to all the features which the server software offers. Why might you consider this as an addition to your Sonos system?   Here are some pros:  LMS is complementary to the native Sonos setup.  You do not lose any Sonos features.  LMS is multi-platform.   Media control is also multi-platform (via web--browser access).   Apps are also available for both Android and iOS (either free or at low cost. There is no limit for local music libraries Offers access to Spotify, Qobuz,

Hi my Sono’s one’s keep disconnecting.My Beam is fine but no sound from the one’s.The App just says no system found and I cant access anything on the app.I don’t understand the technical stuff and don’t know what to do :(

I have 10,000 songs on my mp3 player, what's the easiest way to play these on my Sonos beam and One SL? Can I put them on the app or cloud to play through the app? Cheers! 

Since you can’t choose the order that your streaming services are listed, the next best alternative is to just go to the Browse page where they are listed and then hit the star icon at the bottom of the page. That’ll take you to My Sonos where your most Recently Played places are. I listen to SiriusXM a lot and so it’ll show the channels that I’ve recently listened to. 

Hi all, I was looking for some confirmation that my potential plan will succeed before spending my money.  I currently have a Playbar and 2 Play:1 attached to my TV and work really well. I have a separate turntable (denon dp-45f) attached to its own (old) hi-fi system (pioneer vsx-425) and 2 x Jensen speakers and sometimes headphones plugged directly into the amp.  My hi-fi system is on the way out and the pioneer is starting to fail so I was looking to attach the turntable to my sonos system. I understand ill need a pre-amp and then either connect to a port/five/amp. Planned sequence would be:Turntable → preamp → port/amp → bluetooth receiver/headphone amp + wireless to sonos Now this is where my question is: - I would like to with the option of either listening to my records with the wireless/wired headphones OR via the sonos system.  - If I set up the port or amp as a ‘room’ for the headphones (likely will use a bluetooth receiver plugged into the port), can I still ask the sonos to

Does anyone have a way to measure or test the bass output on the Arch or can explain why there is so much difference in the bass of the Play:5 vs Arc? I bought the Arc SL last week and trying to see if it’s defective or not, i.e. a feature vs a bug!Much appreciated!
