Spaces & Setups

I’m swapping out my full-sized, wired 7.1 Klipsch to Denon AVR system, looking to know how upscale a Sonos system I can build as wirelessly as possible, eliminating the receiver and using an HDMI Arc or HDMI eArc connection from the TV. The only other connections to the system would be a Blu-Ray player (ideally routed through the TV via HDMI) and my phone (via the Sonos app).I'm guessing an Arc, 2 Subs, and 2 Play 5's for the rear channel would be the ultimate system achievable under currently available Sonos products? Or can Sonos do a 5.2.2 without an Arc or other soundbar? Or are there other Sonos soundbars that would be an improvement to the Arc if another pair of speakers were used for the upfiring Atmos channels?Can you use other, better Sonos speakers as the upfiring/height and FL/FC/FR channels? Or is that too many separate devices to work within the Sonos ecosystem? What’s your in-the-realm-of-reality dream Sonos system for an Atmos home theater set up using existing Sonos har

Swapping out my full sized Klipsch 7.1 + Denon AVR and wondering if it is possible to create a 6.2 4 Atmos system with one wired Arc connection to an Atmos-capable TV, 2 wireless Sonos subs and a 2nd Arc wireless connected to the rear for a 6.2.4 Atmos setup.Is this viable? Has anyone done it? Specifically, can 2 Arcs be connected to the same Atmos setup if only the one is wired?

Hi all,I have a Play:5 and I was thinking of getting a portable projector with screen mirroring capabilities (e.g. https://www.viewsonic.com/us/m1-1.html). My question is can the projector mirror the video on my iPhone (for the viewsonic at least it is a wireless network connection) and be able to play the audio through my Play:5 (using AirPlay)? If so, would there be an audio delay?Hope I am not duplicating any questions. This was the closest one I could find but it has been closed: Thanks in advance.

I’ve been successfully using the S1 app for a couple of years to control my Play:5 but after adding a Play:3 I want both me and my wife to be able to control the speakers. My wife downloaded the S1 app and can use it fine but ever since she did I keep getting a message in my S1 app that it can’t connect to Sonos and no speakers are visible. It clears when she moves out of wifi range then i can control the speakers again.I always understood two people could have the S1 app in the same household and control the same speakers. Is this not the case? This is a showstopper for us if we can’t get it to work for both of us.Thanks

Morning everyone,For a few years I’ve had a Sonos device in my kitchen, that has been monitored by a script on a Raspberry Pi.  If the Sonos is playing, it turns the amp on & sets the input etc.If someone turns the TV on, that overrules Sonos and sets the amp accordingly.This morning, Sonos was playing as usual - but the amp wasnt.A bit of digging and it looks like my Sonos had an update (now on S1 / 11.2.7) and the info that was used by my script  (http://w.x.y.z:1400/MediaRenderer/AVTransport/Control) is no longer available.I tried https to 1443 with the same path and that fails with the same UPnP 401 error.Is there somewhere else I can pull the current status from via a url or similar?Thanks 

Hi,Trying to get help with adding Sonos one to the app. I have already added arc + sub + Sonos on Sl- but I’m trying to add my second one Sl and keep giving me the message “your Sonos one Sl has been added, but may not appear on the system tab, if so unplug the power cord and plug it back in to finish setup from the system tab” I’ve disconnected and reconnected, reset it at least 5 times, even tried to connect using a hard wire to the router (even though the actual router is only 15 cm) just in case it helps - but for what ever reason it doesn’t appear on the Sonos app (with the hope of getting the surround sound sorted). I submitted diagnostic (no 1745441989). now, just as I was writing this it did recognise this eventually but now now when I go to set up the surround sound the error message “there was an problem adding your surrounds. Cheack your network connection and make sure your products are powered on” which I can confirm they are all working individually on the network. Again

Hi All - I was thinking of buying the Sonos Arc to go with my new Samsung Q90T TV.  Reading the  community views it seems there are some compatibility issues.  Does anyone know if these have been resolved?  Thanks 

Hello all, I’ve been looking through many different threads and trying to compile information, could someone please reply if this is correct, as I suspect at least some of this is not accurate.  Note this assumes a TV equipped with eARC or something approximating (e.g. HDFury Arcana):Audio Input Xbox Setting Sonos output Locals source/Blu-ray w/Dolby Atmos TrueHD Streaming source w/Dolby Atmos (Netflix) Game w/Dolby Atmos Bitstream → Dolby Atmos Dolby Atmos (lossless for local sources) Local source/Blu-ray/game with DTS-HD Bistream → Dolby Digital Plus Multichannel 5.1 (lossy due to format conversion) Local source/Blu-ray/game with DTS Bistream → Dolby Digital Plus Multichannel 5.1 Local source with DD+/DD 5.1 Streaming source with DD+/DD 5.1 (Netflix, Amazon) Games with DD+/DD 5.1 Bitstream → Dolby Digital Plus Multichannel 5.1* Local source with DD+/DD 5.1 Streaming source with DD+/DD 5.1 (Netflix, Amazon) Games with DD+/DD

hey sonos - when r u going to get your supply chain filled? ... making your customers wait two months is an opportunity for them to leave u behind.. given the number of substitutes available these days. Also, u are killing your custom installer market..  our distributors have no status on product shipments.. naddaI have 12 items all on  back order  now..ordering a SONOS AMP thru your own store shows a shiopment date the end of MAY- really? 

Completely revamping my home theater, formerly wired 7.1 Klipsch to Denon AVR- S730H supporting a 55” non-Atmos Samsung. Looking to go smaller and (as much as possible) wireless (minimal wired connections going back to a central location) --- and definitely want to go Atmos (at least 5.1.2, but optimally 7.2.4 or 9.2.4, with Atmos channels firing up rather than emanating from ceiling speakers or true height channels).So, do I even actually need a receiver at this point? If I were to upgrade to a 2019 or 2020 65” OLED/Atmos LG with a single Blu-Ray player, do I even need a receiver? Or can I just go full Sonos with the TV as the Atmos processor for itself and the Blu-Ray player? Is there any real reason to go with an Onkyo “works with Sonos” receiver if audio sources are only LG TV/Blu-Ray/iPhone?Yes, we listen to music through our system too, and the Denon allowed multiple different sources to play through without being “forced” into a Denon format (so - my iPhone playlists were useabl

I’m currently looking to begin my outdoor landscaping project and that comes with installing my outdoor speakers. There is no doubt these speakers will tie in to my home system as it currently has 9 amps. 2 arcs, and a port powering various different areas throughout my home. That being said I am tossed up and quite frankly not educated enough to make the right decision. Best Buy is currently packaging and selling the Sonance MAG series with an Amp at some pretty great prices. My confusion comes with the pricing. To the naked eye, the Mag 4.1 system and amp is $2,700 while the 6.1 system is $1,500. My fear comes that the power on the 6.1 will not be sufficient and being that the yard is very large, and there are no neighbors nearby, I want some good volume. The 4.1 system is rated for 250W @ 8 ohms while the 6.1 is 150W @ 5ohms. Can someone shed any light and knowledge on this for me? Which is the best system for me? Should I forgo the amp and use a port with a more powerful amplifier?

Both Sonos Arc and Apple TV only have HDMI port. Since Dolby Atmos does not seem to work with Airplay (correct?), I would need a HDMI splitter to connect both the Arc and my old projector. Would that work? What kind of splitter would I have to buy for DolbyAtmos to work? Or is there another possibility? A Toslink splitter for example? Thanks a lot for any advice!

Good watch, pretty much nailed it on the head of what I would like to see introduced this year. I am still not completely satisfied with my ARC yet.DTS6&7 channelupward firing speakers on surroundstraditional' home theaterChromecastpassthroughs24bit from streaming service360 speakerShowing audio format on main menu for all sources not just ATMOS

I have seen many threads on backing up your Sonos playlist.  One guy indicated why would Sonos want to provide this feature.  For one it has been asked for a million times and I would think that Sonos buyers would want to have the capability.  Only thing I can think of is that there is some interest and financial benefit to Sonos to not provide that feature.  Seems simple enough.  I am building a playlist (2000+ songs) on one Sonos device at home.  I would very much like to export that playlist and import to another Sonos device at a vacation home. 

I can’t control my Sonos system volume from my Galaxy 3 watch. Has anyone figured this out? I can control the Sonos Pause and Skip functions from my watch. I have the Sonos S2 app on my Samsung Note 9 phone. To enable Sonos control on my watch, I followed these instructions: On the phone, open Sonos App Settings > App Preferences and turn on “Show Notifications,” “Show Lock Screen Controls,” “Control From Other Devices,” and “Home Screen Volume Control.” This worked, and the music app on my watch now has a Sonos option. It shows the title of the current song playing and the Pause and Skip functions work. The volume control is changing the Media volume on my phone, which would normally work, but on my phone there is a new slider labeled Sonos in my volume control. Its icon is a little box with the wireless lines in the corner, similar to the “Cast” icon in Chrome and YouTube for casting the display to a TV. Adjusting the Media volume slider on my phone (or from the watch) doesn’t cha

In the past it was not possible in a 5.1 setup to have the TV audio be in full stereo mode, it was stuck in surround sound mode. Does the new S2 app or the ARC Soundbar allow TV audio to be in full stereo mode?

Hi all, I have had the Sonos Arc and HDFury Arcana for 6 months and absolutely love both products. I have not had a problem until recently.Now when switching inputs between Live TV and the Apple TV via HDMI, I receive the Picture, but no Audio. For example, If I turn on the TV with Live TV as the input, then switch to Apple TV. I receive Video, but no Audio. It doesn't seem to matter which input is selected on start up.I have a Samsung Q75R, ATV 4K and Sonos Arc, connected via HDFury Arcana for eArc. I have tried fully resetting and reconfiguring absolutely every component, purchased all brand new HDMI cables.The only way to restore both Audio and Video is to unplug the Arc from the Arcana for a few seconds.To stop my daily frustrations was to remove the Arcana from the equation. I contacted Sonos Support yesterday and the lovely chap thought the Apple TV was a separate TV Display and couldn't understand why I was connecting the Arc to two separate TV’s. Needless to say, we didn't get

Sony is offering a new subscription-based streaming service “Bravia Core” with the purchase of its new 2021 Sony XL tvs providing access to its titles in up to 4k HDR quality.  I like the fact the emphasis is on getting the best video quality possible (“streaming at up to 80 Mbps, delivering lossless 4K UHD”).  And for a limited time (promotion ends February 23, 2022), it will be free when you purchase one of the eligible tvs.https://www.sony.com/electronics/bravia-coreHere’s the wrinkle: It features an IMAX® Enhanced collection, which will be optimized for BRAVIA XR, and will deliver the remastered IMAX® picture and immersive sound in DTS.DTS is also noted as the sound format used for the service in the following article:https://www.tomsguide.com/news/sony-bravia-core-what-you-need-to-know-about-sonys-new-streaming-serviceSigh.  It will never end, will it? 😂

Hi - I have got a Sonos Move and want to connect a  SONY PS-LX310BT bluethooth turntable to it. When I put both into pairing mode nothing happens. The turntable doesn't automatically connect and has no screen to make it happen.  Anyone have experience of this? Or been able to make them happen. Thanks so much!

I have a Beam, 2 Play1 wireless speakers, sub for my SONOS system. My TV is a Sony X940E Bravia and my 4K player is a Sony UBP X700. I’ve just discovered that unless I turn my audio output on my TV to PCM, most of my 4K discs will not play sound. Unfortunately playing PCM on my SONOS Beam is underwhelming. Streaming Netflix in Dolby 5.1 sounds better. I’m wondering if I have any options. Would it be better to purchase a different 4K player or dump SONOS since this has to do with their refusal to obtain DTS licenses. Is there a converter of some sort I can get? Thanks!

i realize that most of the community has moved on from the Sonos Controllers.  I still have two and regardless of the fact that they are slow, I still like them.I have two ZP100’s and a ZP80 and I’ve often wanted to add another amp to my existing system without upgrading to S1.My system is on what I believe is the last firmware that supports the CR100 and that is 8.4.  When I go to the Admin Panel, or whatever it is called, I can see the software version listed as 41.3-50131 which appears to match the build number listed in the screen capture above.  There is a ton of gear on Fleabay and many of the items are ridiculously inexpensive.  I’d like to try and find something that is on the same Firmware version as my system. So, here’s my question…...if i find a unit that is on the same Firmware version as my system, will it be pretty straight forward to add it?  Thank you.

I have the Sonos app on my iPhone & iPad Pro. Last night when I went to use my App on my iPhone I get a blank screen on all screens. And on top it say Unable to connect to Sonos: Learn more. But I am still able to use the Sonos App on my iPad to control my music. Both are on the same wifi network. I can check in Settings > About My System and all my Sonos looks to be reading fine. The WM is 0 except for Move > 1. I have sent a diagnostic check. And I wanted to ask here before I try the several steps in the app for troubleshooting.So why is the app working fine on my iPad and not working on my iPhone?

Move - no blue light will work as it used too so no pairing

I quite happy using my Playbar for films etc. and intend to eventually buy the Sub.Can i use a pair of Play Ones, placed either side of my TV for music or can i do better with a pair old 3’s or even a pair of 5’s?  I’m setting up a TV/HiFi system in my new Mancave and I’ve read that i can’t have the 2 music speakers playing when watching films etc as they will lag?  Correct? Not too bothered if i can't but just want the best music sound, bang for buck. Thanks 

Hi why is it not possible to control the volume on my Sonos devices using my Galaxy watch 46mm? I can change tracks and see the artwork for the track playing. When I adjust the volume via my watch it has no effect on Sonos.I have set the Sonos app volume control to control via other devices but still no joy. Adjusting the volume on my watch only changes the media volume on my Samsung S7 edge. Is there a setting I need to change somewhere?
