Is an Arc SL or 5.1 Surround set with Beam and One SL compatable with my Sharp LC-90LE657U?It only had HDMI ARC, not E ARC

Hi I don’t know if my issue is related to the 14.6 update but I noticed today that I had no sound from my surround (play 3) and my sub (Gen 2), only the Arc is working They are still present in the app under the my System view but now sound which every sourcesWhen I reboot each of them, the sound comes back temporary, but when I switch to another source or audio format, thé Sound disappears again. Tried several times, same behaviorThanks for your help 

I have two Play:5 speakers and a Sub in my living room and I recently got a projector for that room. Right now, I’m using a Bluetooth receiver device connected to the 3.5mm TRS jack on the back of one of the Play:5s, but the Bluetooth connection is unreliable and due to the nature of Bluetooth, there is a slight audio delay. It would be great to be able to connect the projector directly to my Sonos system without Bluetooth. The projector has an HDMI-ARC port, and a few Sonos devices support ARC. A device that connects to an HDMI-ARC port and only acts as an “input” for a Sonos system would be very useful for my configuration. It’d be even more convenient if it had an option to be powered over PoE (but I won’t be holding my breath on that).

Settings with Arc?Settings on C1?

I have an older Sonos setup, consisting of three play:3 speakers, a connect: amp and a bridge. I want to upgrade my system so that I can use the Sonos app v. 2 as well as use airplay. I would like advice on whether to buy an Amp that I can use together with my play:3’s or, if it would be a better and longer lasting investment to buy three new Five speakers even though the latter will be quite expensive compared to just buying the Amp.Pros and cons? 

Hello, will this setup work? Am I thinking this right?Thanks

Hi, folks. I have a few Sonos devices and have overall been very happy with the system. But I do find one bug/limitation extremely annoying. It seems like if you have “too many” files in a local music library, Sonos just can’t cope with it, and shows “No selections are available” any time you try to use it. You have to delete some files to make your library usable again.I don’t use streaming services. I only play my own music, that I own. It’s pretty ridiculous that I have to delete parts of my library or move them to places where Sonos can’t see them (and so I can’t play them on Sonos!), just because Sonos can’t write proper database code or something. I've seen discussions of this problem before, for years, and always assumed this would get fixed with a regular update because it’s such a ridiculous limitation. But I’m starting to lose patience (and would like to be able to buy more music!)My library isn’t even *that* huge, anyway. I’m sure some folks have more music than me. I seem t

Need some help! Getting ready to move into a new home where I will have a “man-cave” with 3 TVs (all going to be Samsung - don’t yet have the model numbers) on one wall. TV left and right will utilize Apple TV to stream YouTubeTV while the center TV will use a Verizon box. I’ve got a Beam (Gen 1), Sub, and (2) Play 1’s that I currently have set up in my home. I will be using the same system in the new home.  My goal is to have the ability to choose what TV plays the audio… If we have three games on the TVs and TV 1 and 2 are on commercial i want to switch the audio to TV 3. If TV 2 is the only one that’s on i want to be able to tell the sonos that i want the audio to come from tv 2…   I’ve been told that i should purchase this receiver (https://www.denon.com/en-us/product/av-receivers/avr-s650h) and have the three televisions connected to the audio inputs and have the sonos connected to the output port. I’d then be able to just use the remote to choose the audio output. Will this work?

Hello, i just buyed a sonos move, i read that the battery might be changed after 3 years..on the sonos web site the battery kit is out of stock. Does anyone knows if they’re still producing that one or it just ended here?? otherwise i will just give it back :(

After I retune my Sonos system, I notice less bass. I checked my EQ and I set it up like I have them before and I still hear less bass. I don't know if the last updated has something to do with it. Cuz I got a notification on my  S2 App telling me to retune my Sonos system. reason Cuz, it reset it with the updated. does anybody have the same problem?

Hi, I am hoping someone can help.We have recently purchased the Sonos Ray sound bar and we have only just realised that the optical on our television doesn't work.  We have a spare HDMI port on our television,  is there any other way of connecting the sound bar to my television without using the optical port? Our TV is a smart TV with WiFi if that makes any difference.  Thank you. 

Hello, I recently bought a Ray bar and I’m using it mainly to listen to music.  During summer nights, we set up in our garden a projector to watch old movies. I plug an Apple TV 4k to it and until now I used an old set of wired speakers for the sound.  Can I replace the speakers with the Ray? Will I be able to use Airplay for the movie sound? The only HDMI port is used to connect the AppleTV to the projector.  Thanks for the assistance!! 

I know the shelf is technically not a Sonos product, but there is no one to contact at Ikea.   Basically, the Wireless charging on the shelf is horrible!  Takes me like 2-3 minutes to find the right spot to charge the phone even though they put a big plus on it where the device is supposed to go.  

Hi, I can get either my Arc and Sub to show up on the app, but not my three amps. If I delete the app and reload then I can get the three amps to show up, but not the Arc or Sub. I have tried wired individually and daisy chained and wireless, nothing seems to work. I have wired speakers connected to the amps, then work on individual TV’s, but not with the ARC and Sub. Is there something, I am missing?

Hi,I’m trying to setup a network firewall with multiple VLANs. I found the page telling us which ports that we need to open up for sonos to work with a firewall in place. Currently the page only tells us what port and protocol (TCP / UDP) that sonos uses.I would like to know the source and destination for the firewall rules. Could we get more clarification in a format that also tells us the reasoning, source, destination, port, and protocol? Possible example below:Music Services Source: Sonos Device Destination: Internet Port 80 and 443 Protocol: TCP Sonos App Control Source: Client (iOS, Android, Mac, etc...) Destination: Sonos Device Port: xxx Protocol: UDP Casting Music: Source: Sonos Device Destination: Client (iOS, Android, Mac, etc...) Port: 30000-65,535 Protocol: TCP  Reference to the page that lists all the ports that sonos uses:https://support.sonos.com/s/article/688?language=en_US

Hi all,My current system is a Beam (Gen 1) connected to a Sony Bravia 55” and two Sonos Ones used as rear speakers.I have inherited from a relative a Project turntable / Arcam Amplifier / 2 B&W speakers and 2 x Play:3.Firstly I would like to integrate the turntable into my existing system and just use the Sonos speakers. I was looking at an eBay Connect Amp (Gen 2) and hooking the turntable into that. Would that then play through my existing speakers and what about when I want to listen to the TV?Secondly with the combination of Beam / 2 x One / 2 x Play 3 what would be the best setup / placement for TV / music listening?Hope that all makes sense! many thanks.

Hello, just wanted to share something i 3D-designed and then had 3D-printed in Nylon 12 black for my Home theatre project.I had the idea to hide all components/wiring unless i needed them in sight such as XBOX, PS5, Record Player, Blu-ray, etc… Therefore i thought about hanging some of it on a wall behing a panel where i could then start drawing the furniture with a false back space, etc… etc… From this idea spawned the Port Wall Bracket next to it’s Boost component. The Philips Hue Sync Box and all it’s components,drivers, etc... shared the same faith :) This is what i came up with if anyone else wants to see or maybe use it in their own system setup : [link removed] Or on YT right here : https://youtu.be/I9e5YPL773A Any thoughts, feel free to share. Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

Can you please advise im perplexed and not sure what to do.

Hello, I have a CD transport that I want to connect to a Sonos Five.From what I understand I will need a DAC between the CD transport and the Five, right?Or could I just connect the CD transport to a Sonos Port, and stream it to the Five?I’m also afraid to loose some sound quality but using the line-in on the Five.Thanks

Have a whole home Sonos installation including one Sonos Move. I've just added a Roam to use in my bathroom. It's off the charger and has gone to sleep, and appears that way in the app.  Do I really have to hit a button on it to wake it up? Can't I wake it from the app like the Move? (Slightly worried I've accidentally bought something I don't want)

Sonos app seems to be draining a lot of battery while my iPad is idling. It says 2 min on screen but 23h 19m background. Weird thing is I disabled the background app refresh for Sonos specifically.this has both happened while the iPad was at home at same Wi-Fi as Sonos and away on another Wi-Fi. I have submitted a diagnostic at number 412593457. I need my Sonos app to not kill the battery while idling. 

Hi there, Have got a couple of Play 5s for the lounge. Would you recommend stands or wall mounting?

I am renovating my house and trying to decide whether to use ceiling mounted speakers for the rears (using Sonos AMP to drive them).  I plan to have ARC soundbar in front and Gen2 Subwoofer that I already posses, if possible.This should result in 5.1.2 configuration but my question is related to having the rears in the ceiling instead of ear level.  According to Atmos, the rears of a 5.1.2 system should be at ear level for proper 3D sound.  if they are in the ceiling what will the end result be?  seems to be it won’t be accurate Atmos representation.  Non-3D 5.1 playback will probably sound about right I suppose...but just wondering how a Sonos 5.1.2 Atmos will make sense out of the rears being in the ceiling instead of at ear level.Its not impossible for me to place a couple of Sonos Play1’s at around ear level in addition to or instead of the ceiling mounted rears.  But it will mean setting them on counters where I would rather not have a speaker with a cable running to power, etc.  

I have the Arc w/ 2 gen 3 subs and 2 One SL’s and a Beam in another room. I don’t have access to an Apple product for Trueplay anymore and wanted to know what is the best Apple device to buy for Trueplay? Thank you.
