    No the only way to have 5.0 surround is a playbar and 2 sonos play speakers as surrounds (or wired surrounds using Connect:Amp)

    Your Samsung soundbar will not work in any way as a front surround in a Sonos 5.1. You could probably hook a connect to it to play music. But for surround you must start with the Sonos playbar.
