Spaces & Setups

I have just bought a new Samsung TV and it connects and works ok with my Sonos Playbar, connected via an optical cable. The TV smart remote will not however control the volume on the Sonos Playbar. I think that the only way for this to work is via the HDMI/ARC connection. The Playbar however doesn’t have an HDMI connector. Can anyone suggest any way of solving this, (other than upgrading to a Sony ARC!)? Is there an Optical to HDMI adapter out there that might work to solve this?

As the title says - I am having issue getting ATMOS to passthrough Samsung QN75Q7DRAF to SONOS Arc from Sony - UBP-X800M2 The Samsung does NOT have eArc only Arc - I had an AppleTv 4K which I discovered will not pass ATMOS through to reg arc only eArc - anyone know if the Sony has the same issue?   I have searched other threads and made the changes on the Sony Blu-Ray and still no luck Built in TV Apps like AppleTV/Disney etc DO send ATMOS mix to the Sonos Arc, and if I use Sonos App, I get ATMOS from both AppleMusic or Amazon Music. This all frustrating because I am trying to go more minimalist and got rid of a Denon AVR3500, Polk floor standers & center channel and an Outlaw LFM-x1 sub to go all Sonos - Really going to suck if the TV is the now the weak link in the chain! I don't see any updates that were made by Samsung to upgrade the ARC port to eARC (if even possible) Is there any kind of adaptor that could fix this? 

Some providers services such as Tidal provide 24 bit support but Sonos don’t implement it.It appears that currently Sonos only provides 24 bit support for Amazon Music services, when will other suppliers be supported?

I have an old Quad 33/303 set up that I love and works very nicely with my turntable and Sonos Port as sources. It has a line-level output that I connect to the Port’s Line In so that I can listen to the Turntable in other zones. However, I have to turn the volume up on the other zones WAY higher than from other sources. The 33/303 Line Level output is adjustable, and I’ve set it to it’s max (“H” in the table below). The Port’s input settings are set to 1 (low) and it’s still too quiet. Not distorted, but just too low.What are the actual line-in sensitivity levels of the Port? I can in theory change the component values in the 33/303 to output more than 100mV, but I’d like to know what the Port’s inputs are in order to choose correct values. 

I have an XGIMI horizon pro 4K projector and newly bought a Sonos Ray. How can I connect my connector with the Sonos Ray sound bar wirelessly?  I just did some research, and it sounds like Sonos Ray doesn’t support bluetooth. Is there any alternative way?

Are there any plans to add more than just two speakers to surround? This feels really limiting for some rooms. 

Is it possible to migrate compatible Sonos units one by one from Sonos 1 to Sonos 2 systems?  Most of the incompatible units I have are in hard to reach places and so would be much easier if could keave the Sonos 1 system as is and gradually move the compatible  units one by one to new Sonos 2 system (which I have in one room). Thanks for any suggestions. 

How would I play my Chirp audiobooks from iPhone to Sonos? (I only saw an answer regarding non-Apple products.)

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to connect the Sonos Play 5 to the TV.  If you can connect a turntable via RCA cable, it should also connect to the TV. If anyone can give me some clarification.  Thank you

I have just swapped over from a LGTV C9 to a LG TV B3 I thought the setup was the same but Ive got no sound to Sonos beam on the optical port has anyone else had the same issue 

Do the various SONOS RADIO channels have corresponding playlist available to listeners

Anytime I attempt to play a podcast through YouTube Music, I receive the error "Unable to play (podcast) - the connection to YouTube Music was lost." I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting the service but with no luck. I'm able to play music, just no podcasts... Anyone else experiencing this?  Thanks!

Hello Sonos Community,I'm exploring small business ideas in Dubai with a focus on audio technology and am interested in understanding how Sonos products can play a role in my business venture. What are some creative ways that Sonos wireless speakers and audio systems can be used in a small business setting in Dubai? How can Sonos's technology enhance the ambiance and customer experience in cafes, restaurants, or small retail shops in this region?Looking forward to your creative ideas and suggestions!

Is there a chance of implementing a feature for access control on the Sonos Amp so that individuals can only access it with permission granted by you?

I am looking for recommendation on speakers and placements for my room. I’m only interested in music as there is no tv in this space. There is a design layout of the room below. I can imagine a lot of different configurations from speakers on the 2 cabinets on the shorter walls to 1 speaker in the corner radiating  out to both and have even seen suggestions for 2 speakers at the end of each leg. Speakers on the cabinets or floor or wall mounts?  If multiple speakers I want them to work well together not cause sound interference if you move across the space. A variety of music could be listened to depending on the occaission from classical and jazz to pop, rock or blues or anything really.  What is your ideal set up or what compromises would you make depending on the details. Thanks!

I have seen this issues in many forums where Sonos ARC is not able to play Dolby Atmos content from Apple TV (3rd Gen) or other devices like roku, xbox etc. Not that there is a sizable population struggling to find a solution this problem. Has anyone been able to get any resilution ?My Setup: Apple 4K → Epson 1100S (HDMI In) → Epson eArc Out → Sonos eArc InAppleTV Setup: Video HDR10+, Audio Dolby Atmos (Or No HDR)Issue: Sound Skips to almost NO soundHigh Quality ethernet enabled HDMI cables (24Gbps) used for all connectionsI have been waiting for 5 months now to find some resolution. We paid for Dolby Atmos would like to get 100% out of our cost. This seems to be some cheating on SOnos side that they are not addressing the issue.

I am trying to set up Sonos system in each of my 4 bedrooms. What I would like is each bedroom to have ceiling speaker(s) with ability to play a different audio in each bedroom.What would be the cheapest Sonos solution?Thank you

As a new owner of a Beam Gen 2, I'm happy with the purchase, much better than what I had.  That said I was expecting a little more to help my older and abused ears with television voice audio.  I was thinking the addition of more speakers could help.  I was contemplating the addition of a pair of Era 100's or one Era 300 (about the same cost).As mentioned they would be for television/video streaming.  Home theatre benefits are great but my priority is voice audio especially at lower volumes.Thanks for any advice

I just bought 2 Sonos play:5 gen:1 and I wanna use it as stereo for my tv setup.  but i don’t know how ….😅

Hi question: My living room size is 10'6"x8'10". It opens up in a kitchen (8'8"x9'8") and dining (7'3"x7'1") area. There are no walls between the living, dining and kitchen. Which set-up I should go for? 1) Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc or 2) Immersive Set with Beam? Or anything else? I will use it to watch TV (movies/sports) and music. Thanks in advance. 

what is the function of TV Autoplay and why would i want to choose it or not?

I am planning to install Sonos system in our basement. I have a media room which is 325 sqft (18’x18’) and open basement which is roughly 1300 sqft. my questions- should I put an Arc, 2-Era 300 and 1 sub (gen3) in media room. Is that a lot or less? Media room will have 85” tv and we usually don’t watch movies too loud.and for the main open area is Arc, 2-Era 300 and 1 sub (gen3) enough or do I need more.And say I want to play just plain music in both media room and open basement. Can I connect both to play same music?is there better option for me than stated above. All suggestions welcome.Sorry for so many questions. A newbie here!  

My two Era 100 speakers are suddenly not pairing up...each plays some different and trying to group them isn’t working...please help!
