When will Sonos release rear speakers (one sls) that have upfiring drivers for Atmos? Samsung has dropped the Samsung Q990B which has this AND DTS support.  Sonos needs to step up on this because the samsung set is cheaper and better quality Atmos now. Ive been pricing it out all year to purchase at christmas but if they don’t come out with at least upfiring rear speakers before boxing day Im going with the samsung.

I am trying to run my Amazon firestick through my LG TV into my Sonos Arc and still have the ability of using my audio receiver. I can pair my TV with the arc and plugging in my firestick into the back of the tv. No problem but then i have nothing with my receiver. I plug the firestick into the receiver and lose the tv connection with my Sonos arc. Is there the ability to use both? Any help would be appreciated

Hi, there.I have a Beam gen2 and one Play3. I want to create surrounding system and I’m thinking i need another speaker to do it . can you guys give me some advices about it? I’m considering to buy another Play3 for the surrounding, but it cost a little bit much. Thanks

Hello,I have a CD transport connected via the Sonos optical-to-HDM adapter to the HDMI input on my Sonos Amp. This works great (and allows me to control the Amp volume with the CD transport’s remote control) but it’s odd to see this input called ‘TV’ in the Sonos app. I understand this is the primary intended use case for the HDMI input but I can’t be the only person using the optical-to-HDMI connection to get a digital audio input into the Amp. Please Sonos: Could we have an option to rename the HDMI input to a custom name in the app, like you can with the RCA input?

I’m looking to create a home cinema set up, I already have two play 1’s, a Roam, and a Play 5. I’d like to mount the projector on my ceiling if possible, so ideally I’d be able to broadcast video from my laptop to the projector wirelessly, and audio from the projector/laptop to the sonos system. Two questions: Which product I can purchase (playbar?arc?beam?) to use with a projector in this manner?What properties would the projector need to have? Thanks for your help.

As stated, I'm just trying to add the Google assistant to my Sonos arc. When I'm in the app, it has me sign in, then redirects to Google home. Cool. Google home wants me to sign in to Sonos. Ok? It redirects me to the website. I log in and the Sonos website says the Sonos app needs to update with 2 buttons. Go to Sonos App or I've fixed the problem. The first option does what it says, the Sonos app comes back up but it's currently trying to link with Google. I can try again or cancel. If I try again, please start reading this paragraph again. If I cancel, I can go check for updates. Checking both the devices individually and the system itself says there's no updates available and the versions appear to be the latest version. Back to where the Sonos website tells me I need to update, if I choose I've fixed the problem, it just refreshes the page. So. That's where I'm stuck.Everything else works fine, I can stream music via the app itself, I can use Bluetooth, I can use the HDMI with my

Just ordered a Pro-Ject Debut Turntable and I have TWO fives and I’d like to connect them both. What’s the best way of doing this? Do I connect the cable from the turntable to one of them and then link the other by Bluetooth?

I have been reading a lot of comments about vibration on a Sonos beam. I was watching 6 Underground yesterday & yes the rattle/ vibration started. However it was nothing to do with the beam, it was the cables I had put under the TV stand that were vibrating against it. Removed them away from the stand & problem solved, thanks to my wonderful wife Wendy for spotting this. So check this first, you never know it might not be your brilliant beam.😃

Has anyone updated yet any idea what it does?

Hi- Amateur at bestI have an existing Beam Surround Set working on my HDMI-ARC input on my tv. Love it! I am considering upgrading to a projector and am looking at HDMI Multiview Switches to be able to watch multiple games simultaneously sometimes. The video part is straight forward; the audio I’m having problems.I haven’t found a multiview switch that would support surround sound from Sonos- I haven’t seen anything with HDMI-ARC. I believe that is needed for audio (is it even possible to get Atmos?), then an HDMI from the multiview switch to the projector.Open to all suggestion on products, thanks!  

Hi all!Using Playbar, Sub Gen 2 and two Play 3s. If listening only 5.1 (no earc on TV), would be the same setup with Arc instead od Playbar be an upgrade?Thank youNeven

Hi,I’m delivering some training this week in a location with only basic facilities (projector onto wall) and the presentation has some audio files.Can I use the Sonos One I have at home as the audio for my pc laptop?If that’s impossible/horrible I will also have an ipad/iphone with me, so would a kludge be to run the powerpoint on ios at the same time as from my pc laptop and just airplay the audio at the relevant time? There’s no video to worry about being in sync with, the relevant slides are audio-only. I’ve no adaptor to *just* run the whole thing from the ipad.

There are a couple of old topics relating to this issue with several hundred views and no solution. I am sharing my fix for it. In the tags on the files, I replaced the space after the word The with a unicode non breaking space.  This has done the trick for me.  It makes the index show the band under T and all the search functions still work as you would expect.  Changing the tags in MP3Tag is fairly quick if you have the files set up by artist.  Just select the artist folder and change all the Artist and Album Artist tags to replace the regular space with the no-break space.  After the changes are made run the Update Music Library Now function.The unicode no-break space is created in notepad by holding down the alt key and typing 0160.  When the alt key is released the no-break space is created.

I can successfully connect to my Sonos system from my iPhone via Spotify but when I try to connect the phone’s current general audio output via AirPlay to Sonos, I get an AirPlay error “Unable to connect” with no other details. This has only started happening recently. I have tried all of the obvious things such as power cycling the speakers, modem, router and iPhone but this has not resolved the issue.

Yesterday, my daughter set up an alarm with a music playlist for the speaker in her room, to play on weekdays. But both this morning (a Saturday) and this evening the speaker started playing an alarm (the chimes).It’s a Saturday (not a day for which her alarm was set), and it played at 7am and 9.45pm, not the time for which her weekday alarm was set. This makes no sense. How did the alarm get there? I obviously deleted them immediatly. But we don’t want this issue to come back.

Hi, I have sonos arc, sonos sub and two Sonos one speakers in my setup. I want to add two more sonos ones in the exisiting setup. I want to add them as surround for the rear sides. If I buy two more will I be able to add them to the exisiting setup or will it have any problems adding all of them in one group. Please suggest. TIA. 

Hi all,There don't seem to be that many posts about specific Sonos Amp & speaker combinations, so I thought I would briefly share my impressions of the Sonos Amp in combination with the Bowers & Wilkins 707 S2 loudspeakers.I ended up with this combo after half a year without a Sonos (or any real) stereo system following a move to a new, somewhat smaller, home. Having finally got my modestly sized living room in order with furniture placed and (just) enough room for a pair of compact loudspeakers, I went shopping.The 707s were not actually on my initial list of potential buys (I had intended to try their larger sibling, the 706, among other speakers) but upon hearing that my listening space was quite small (effectively a quarter of my living room, putting my usual listening chair less than 2 metres from the speakers) the sales person suggested trying the smaller 707s and they pretty much blew me away, with a remarkably full range sound for such a small speaker. Of course, they a

We are writing summer 2019 and still Sonos only supports SMB version 1 for the Music Library share. This is not acceptable. A file share running SMB1 is extremely vulnerable to all the variants of cryptolocker virus that exists today. File share servers (NAS, Windows, Apple OS) can only support one version of SMB - so you cannot from the same box have one file share (for Sonos) using SMB1 and the other file shares using SMB2 or SMB3. This way Sonos puts each and every file share at serious risc - just because they don’t update their file share protocol to comply with this century. And for the record - the “solution” through PLEX is not a solution. Unstable at best.

Afternoon all, first time posting and could use some help please. In advance of moving into a new build house, I bought the home theatre system from SONOS including the ARC, Play 1’s and Sub. Honestly cannot wait to get them set up. As part of this I have purchased a Samsung QN90B 85inch TV which will be paired with the SONOS system. My wife purchased a TV unit which has also arrived, she wanted to pick the decor hence I gave her requirements for width etc on the TV and she has purchased a Next Bronx 2m Superwide stand, so far so good. That was until I looked at the depth of the TV stand combined with the depth of the ARC. I may have made a reasonably large error. The stand for the TV is a centre stand, 43cm wide to support the TV’s 40-odd kg weight.The tv stand depth is 40cm, the TV Stand is 36.5cm and the ARC is 11.5cm deep which means the ARC will have to sit over the stand. My question is - can this work? Does the ARC have feet on it that would mean it would sit over the stand? Or

I have a Beam (Gen 2) set up with my TV.  It's in a lounge approx 10m long with a flat roof and a glass roof lantern.  Unfortunately when it rains it creates a lot of noise and I have to have the soundbar really loud.   Can I add the Symonfisk bookshelf wireless smart speakers (From Ikea) to the system.   I am looking for something to place behind the sofa that just amplifies what is coming out of the Beam.   I'm not looking for the surround sound where it only plays certain times.   I hope this makes sense as I'm not technically minded I'm sorry.Thankyou

Any news on Sonos adopting the Matter standard?

Bonjour 👋Je souhaite raccorder un SONOS ARC + SUB et deux ONE sur un TV SAMSUNG ancien UE55C60000RWXZF( sans arc). J'ai bien compris qu'il faut utiliser l'adaptateur Optique/ HDMI mais rien ne fonctionne pour autant. J'ai mis les HP sur ext. : toujours rien.Merci pour tous renseignements utiles qui devraient me permettre d'utiliser mon équipement pou le moment obsolète.CORDIALEMENT 

Hi Does anyone else have an issue with the Sonos beam power cable being loose and not fitting snugly into power socket ? If I move the beam the cable falls out !  

Dear Community,I just moved into a new flat and I am looking to buy a new sound / HiFi system for my bedroom.As you can see below, I have a 1-and-a-half bedroom, divided by a semi-wall and a glass door which will remain open the vast majority of the time. I will be spending more time in the “big room” that the picture is taken from - but also a good chunk of time each day in the smaller room that you can see after walking through the door in the picture.What SONOS do you recommend? I was thinking to buy the SONOS Five and have it in the big bedroom  - but do you think that the sound will be bad when the music is playing from the big bedroom and I'll be in the other, smaller room?What do you think of getting a SONOS Five and a SONOS Move or ONE to play simultaneously, one in each room? Or will that sound strange if I can partially hear both at the same time?I look forward to your advice. We are now standing in the “big” main bedroom, looking through to the smaller room which contains a

Ok SO I am an Avid Sonos User. I have a house with 3 Beams, 5 Subs, Six Fives, Four Ones, An Amp and a Port. I also have a High Output DJ system in my theater area. My question is my basement/theater area has a beam, Sub and 3 fives. The Fives are not setup as surrounds. When the theater is in use I have a beam and sub as my main TV sounds but from time to time I have a port that uses my DJ equipment as an input and outputs to a mixer with a mic that also runs to two 15” Active Ev Speakers and an 18” Ev Sub. Yes, I like it loud. So the issue I am having, and curious to see if there is a workaround for, is a delay. Sometimes I use the port to stream the TV audio to the PA setup for a very loud movie experience. But there is a delay. It seems to be more than the app is able to compensate for using the various delay correction options. I am trying to figure out where the source of the delay is coming from. The TV is connected to the Beam Via ARC. There is no DSP in the Mixer or the PA spe
