Can someone explain to me the logic behind the annoying “feature” S2 app has that wakes up my PC every time a new piece of music starts playing?I explain. I have S2 running on my PC. I select a station I want to play. Then I put my PC to sleep (so it turns my computer and the monitors off so it doesn’t use energy) and go downstairs to do my stuff or to stay with my friends. The music plays and the moment a new song comes on, my computers comes out of sleep mode and is “ready” for something. I was told once by support guy that this is so in case you want to change the music, it’s already there. Why on Earth I want this to be ready if I’m downstairs (or far away) from the machine? Do they know that people can do the same from their phone app?It’s just plain stupid and a waste of energy. My PC has some LED lights so I can’t use it when I want to have a relaxing nap. I have to make sure that I shutdown the app first before putting my PC to sleep.So annoying.Anyone has the same problem? 

I'm fairly certain this has been discussed before, but I need a definitive answer.I have an Arc w/ 2 Ones acting as rears for surround sound that are connected via ARC (not eARC - the TV doesn't have it) to my 2017 Samsung Series 6 (model no: UN55MU6290) which is also connected to my PS5.Notably, my Samsung does not have an eARC connection. I think this may be the culprit.On my PS5, I have the following config: HDMI Device Type: AV Amplifier Number of Channels: 7.1 ch (issue also occurs when on 5.1 ch) Audio Format: Dolby On my Samsung, I have the following config: HDMI Input Audio Format: Bitstream Digital Output Audio Format: Dolby Digital The Sonos app is telling me that the Audio In is Dolby Digital 5.1. This is great, but there is a .5 second delay upon input and sound output. All other apps I run through my Apple TV 4K have zero delay and sound great.My question are: Is my TV too old and not powerful enough to process all the data for PS5 audio in a timely manner? Am I mi

I have a Beam 2, couple of Symfonisks, linked to  u65g - 2021 model with eARCUsing Apple TV 4K and the Google O/S on the TV itself my Sonos App says ‘Atmos’ where appropriate BUT the TV does not. That’s pretty condusing. Am I or aren’t I?I have Hi speed HDMI’s, sound is set to ‘pass through’ on the TV and the Apple TV is set to match frame rate, Atmos enabled etc.I think I’m getting Atmos and the above settings are definitely the best for day to day - but can someone tell me why I don’t get a confirmation from the TV? Also - sometimes when ‘turning on’ it is impossible to control the volume bar mute or what it was the night before. I have to perform several ‘on/offs’ before it works??Thanks in advance 

Is there a way to have SL Ones startup when I turn on my Samsung TV and Beam Gen 2? Or do I have to physically turn on the SL One each time I turn on my TV/Beam?

I am running on S1 system 11.3 version.I am being invited to update automatically which I usually do, but I like to know the nature of any updates before updating so as to avoid any reduction of services either hardware or software.Sonos never offer details of updates.How can I find full details of updates before accepting the update.

I just wanted to add my experience to what has been posted before.  It took some time to get to the bottom of this and the previous post was a little short on detail.Inputting from Sonos Connect is relatively simple, using one of the RCA input socket pairs and relabelling the Input on the Denon to Sonos. It was the output that I struggled with and at one stage Denon staff told me that this was just not possible.  I have used the Zone 2 Pre Out RCA sockets and the Connect RCA input sockets as the connection route.   The problem which I had failed to detect was that the signal coming from the Pre Out is very weak.  This can be fixed using the following steps on the Sonos App:- Go into Settings/System/Products and the Room where the Connect is used. Within this there are a number of sub headings including Line In.Within Line In there is something called Source Level.   As the Denon acts as an AV component I used this setting which is Level 2 when in fact the signal is so weak it needs to

Hi.I have a Sonus Arc soundbar and Sonus Sub (Gen 3) and I was wondering if buying SL surround speakers would be worth it?In general, I find that most TV channels seem to be broadcast in stereo in either Dolby Digital 2.0 or Stereo PCM.What actually happens to the sound from a stereo broadcast regarding the surround speakers?Does the sound just get directed to the surround speakers anyway (even though it's not Dolby Digital 5.1) or are the surround speakers disabled and only in use with DD 5.1 sources?I would imagine that when playing music the surrounds are just used as additional speakers?I am new to the concept of surround sound so I would appreciate some advice!Cheers 🍻   

Hi everyone.  Here is my setup: LG C1 (just bought!)Sonos Playbar (getting the Arc later this month)Sony UBP-X700 I tried out a few discs and noticed that I cannot get many of them to play surround sound.  Instead it outputs as PCM. I have changed all of the settings on the player and the TV without any luck.  I am able to get Dolby Digital. I did a fair number of searches and found that this is a known challenge with this configuration. My questions: Will I have better luck with the Arc arrives and I switch to eARC?  Will it be able to handle more of the DTS tracks that many of my discs have? If not, what would be a recommended player to get instead?  I can still return this one. If there isn’t a solution for getting surround sound, are there any ways to at least get faux surround sound?  Will fake surround sound improve with the Arc compared to the Playbar?Thank you! Charles

Can you use 1x sonos one and 1x sonos one sl as your rear surrounds with an Arc?

Hi,anybody knows if I can pair ARC with two ONE (no ONE SL) to create a surround set up?Additionally: if I setup two ONE (or two ONE SL) to work with ARC, will I be able to continue to use them as direct output devices for, e.g., spotify or Apple Music or do I need to reconfigure them every time? I mean: once linked to ARC are the ONE still available for streaming from my phone? thanks a lot, nice regards

Hi all, I am currently looking at sonos as a solution for my audio sound, just want to make sure it can do what I want it to do before I purchase. Forgive me if this is naïve question. Can I have my turntable (with built in amp) connected to 2 Five’s, so I can listen in stereo in one room and then have a third speaker (possible another Five) in another room and have the music from the turntable play at the same time? So in stereo in one room and from one speaker in another room? Thanks!

When is Sonos going to update their software to sync in L&R front speakers to their surround set up? 

I know most of the people will say , get harmony remote , use the Denon app or even smart plug but i want to be able to turn on my sonos port via the sonos app and make my denon turn on and set it up to the right input (CD in my case) automatically . trying to convert 12V trigger (from sonos port) to IR command (to Denon receiver) seems to be challenging and the only project i saw requires you to be an engineer. I finally tried to look into HTTP commands and saw that Sonos support IFTTT but only as “That” part in the code and you can’t create any macros or scripts that will trigger if the Sonos port is on. Here is my question: Anyone here knows how to build raspberry pi server which will be able to “listen” to local network and once the sonos port turns on it will execute a simple HTTP command to turn on the Denon?

Hi all - browsed really old versions of similar threads but none of the options work for me - I have a 2021 LG 55” OLED TV - I follow all the instructions but obviously cannot push the “power” button on my magic remote to configure it as it switches off the TV - hitting the volume buttons brings up the mute sign but the volume does not change. I do have different menu options to what are described here but more or less I can get to choosing optical blue tooth sound bar and then philips (I do not have sonos as a choice). Anyone else that has struggled have a magical answer?

Purchased a Sonos Arc, Sub and two Sonos Ones for surround sound to add in addition to my Vizio 75” V Series TV and the Apple TV 4K (latest edition). Since I purchased this I have had intermittent sound issues with different apps on Apple TV (Hulu, Disney+, HBO, Netflix, etc) that has the sound stay on for a bit and then cut out for a period of time then come back in. I called support and they were no help. It’s discouraging as I paid almost $2k for the Sonos products and am not able to get the full impact of it. To give some information, the Sonos ARC is hooked up to the TV via HDMI not through the optical cable option. I have switched out the HDMI cord and that did not help. Latest support diagnostic is: 841974370

Hi,i want to setup:2 speakers in dining room2 speakers in living room 1 2 speakers in living room 22 speakers in kitchen 2 outdoor speakers.  How many amps do I need? can I play the same music on all the speakers even if there are multiple amps? if 2 speakers from living room 1 and 2 speakers from living room 2 are connected to the same amp, can I have 2 different zones? So I could play the same music in both living rooms AND play the same music in living room 1 and turn the speakers in living room 2 off - is that makes sense?thanks  

Hi all, my first post before buying a Sub. I was just wondering what happens to midrange when adding in a Sub. Will the Beam handle it differently than it does on its own or would it be best to add in a third Sonos unit? Or, and I suspect will be the answer, does the Sub and Beam share the responsibilty perfectly well?Thanks Martin S

Hi all! I’ve had an Arc for a while now and it’s grouped with a 1 for music in another part of the house. I recently bought a Move. It works great for music, grouped with the Arc and the 1. However, when using the Move grouped to the Arc for TV, the sound on the Move cuts out for 5-10 seconds every minute or so. I’ve tried all of the troubleshooting tips and nothing fixes this idea. Any ideas? Thanks!  

Hi What is the best/simplest way to play local files on my sonos system, without having to turn on a computer? I have 10-15 CDs (mp3s) stored on a usb stick. My current router (Deco x60) doesn’t have a USB input. Can I upload my files somewhere and access them from the Sonos app? I have Spotify premium. Install  a (virtual) media server? Any ideas?  Thanks a lot! E

I’d like to see the ability to switch to a more basic controller interface. One where you can simply select the room and music on one screen. I never look at the screen, don’t care about the skins and all of the rest of the stuff. I made my playlists already so I know what’s on there. All I want to be able to do is pick a room(s), select a stream and set the volume. This would just be the ability to switch between a basic remote and a full controller. 

Is it possible to run the Sonos amp with a pair of One SL’s as the mains? I have a setup where I have existing power close to both speaker locations but won’t be able to run speaker wire due to existing construction. The reason I’m looking at the amp instead of the port is that I want to get a turntable and HDMI ARC into the system. Sorry if this has been asked before but I’ve searched the forums for a while and couldn't find anything.

Hi everyone,a few days ago I bought a Sonos Arc and I completed my 5.1 setup (I already owned a pair of Ones and a Sub). I am very satisfied with the general quality of the audio and I have already performed the TruePlay procedure using an iPhone 13 Pro. The only problem is that the central channel, relative to the voices, is always a bit low. I tried to redo the TruePlay tuning with another iPhone (7) and also to redo it focusing on the area where I sit to watch TV, but the situation changes little to none. Arc is connected to the tv via eARC and the tv passes the dolby digital signals correctly. Why Sonos, despite all the requests from the community, does not allow us to adjust the center channel volume?The NightMode and Speech Enhancement functions improve the situation, but they are only palliatives that "ruin" the overall equalization. With the old system I owned, I could adjust the volume of the center channel. It was enough to set it to +3 to solve the speech comprehension probl

Hello:This is my system…ARC + 2 FIVES (as surround) + SUBThis is issue:I can’t use/see FIVES LINE IN available in app to connect my turntable.Of course if I remove surrounds from the bundle I’m able to use them.So how to do it without modifying my setup. 

Having upgraded S2 to latest versions the EQ icon is not appearing in now play window.  Any suggestions?

I can't add Sonos Roam to my network. It asks me to update the App, but it is already updated
