Talk Sonos Products

Hello everyone,Two-part question.  I previously posted that I have a dated TV (Sharp) that while equipped with ARC, does not deliver DD5.1 to my Beam (neither first or second Gen).  I am interesting in replacing the TV, but have noticed some issues cropping up with LG to ARC.  My questions are:Is there a comprehensive list of SONOS compatible eARC TVs?  The closest I came to was off RTINGS.com, but that is not necessarily geared to SONOS compatible products.  Save for going to a big box store and trying to fiddle with things, there has to be a more efficient way to achieve a truly clean solution is the ARC a good surrogate measure for the BEAM Gen2?  I am asking the question in the context of ATMO so basically, if the TV works with ARC, does it stand to reason it will do similarly with BEAM Gen2?Many thanks for all opinions.Thank you.

I’m having an issue which with the Sonos controller not reading my audio files from my NAS drives; I have had no issue with this until the most recent update version 13.2. Looking on this forum and the wider internet there is clearly been a number of instances of this happening in the past.So after painstakingly going through as many forum responses as I can I’ve tried the following to no avail:Removed said folder from Sonos app and tried re-mapping to the library (this is where I’m now stuck as the Sonos App will not allow the folder to be added due to Access to shared folder is denied message)Restarted everything - Laptop, Router, NAS multiple times.Turned off firewalls on all devices still no change.Changed permissions of various folders to allow full access from anywhere, again no change.Opened a number of Ports on my PC/Router which where suggested by the Sonos help FAQ’s, no change.Ensured my computer had the correct NODE type set up (it does).Checked the date and time zone both

Has, anyone tried streaming Dolby Atmos music in one room with apple tv then streaming in simultaneously with another sonos dolby atmos set up?planning to buy beam gen 2, but dunno if i need to buy another apple tv 4k. thanks!

Hi, I am moving house and looking to upgrade my Sonos system. I am thinking of an Arc + Sub + 2 x Play1 to compliment my existing 2 x Play 1’s. The system is to be largely for music but also for movies. I am thinking of having a surround set up in the sofa area with 2 of the 1’s on stands adjacent to the sofa with two further 1’s in the kitchen and dining areas. One concern with the Arc is the shape of the ceiling and that the TV and Arc will be closer to one side wall than the other. Is this an issue or does the addition of the sub and surround 1’s negate any potential problems? Happy for people to suggest alternate options but I am quite keen on this set up as get 30% off from upgrading my old Play 5 which saves a whopping £600 on the set!!  

I have a mix of new and old devices currently all running on single S1 system.Now I find that if I want to add a new device such as the FIVE I can’t.I have a Play:5 (Gen 1) that lowers the volume without me doing it. Randomly does this and I can not solve the issue.So I thought just buy a new FIVE to replace it but if I stay on S1 I will be prevented from adding the new FIVE to my system.But if I change to S2 so I can add the FIVE then 9 of my original devices will stop working on the same system which basically kills my entire system. (I first got SONOS with the CR100 controller, that is how old it is. They killed those off ages ago.)So it seems this policy PROHIBITS me adding or replacing devices to my system and effectively STOPS me buying anymore of their products.What a great business model, piss off your early adopters.

I have a superb LG CX 65inches TV that works with my Sonos beam. I would like to have better sounds but without throwing infinite amount of money.Is adding rear play 1 to my Beam would be overall better sounds investment than switching to Sonos ARC? Going the play 1 route would be also cheaper.Atmos content for me seems to be poor yet so it wouldn't be a good reason for me now.What do you think guys?

Hi! I have a problem, that I try to solve for some time, try to search for information on the Internet but can not ... I have a projector that I want to install in the bedroom, and wifi speakers that are already installed in the room, the speakers have no additional connection in the device itself. I want the projector (or rather the streamer connected to the projector) to transmit the sound to the wifi speakers. Can't find any device that would give me such an answer. The streamer itself can only broadcast on Bluetooth. And I only find devices that broadcast on Bluetooth, and the speakers do not support it as I said. Maybe an app that will actually be installed on the streamer? Something else? Hey thanks! The speakers is from Sonos company, only wifi available...the streamer is mi box s, there's HDMI and aux available, and the projector is a cheap one, Blitzwolf bw-vp6.I need product that connect through aux and transmitted to wifi. Some adapter... i think that it needs to connect to

Hi, just wanting to check as I’m considering a Beam which needs S2 . All my components are on the S1 app at present.I have only got a bridge that’s not compatible with S2 - The rest (connect,play5 2nd gen and play 1) are.The bridge is used solely to get the play 5 working in a remote room.I think I’m right in saying I could have the bridge on S1, and the rest on S2?My concern is that the Sonos mesh between the bridge and any other components won’t be affected by being on different apps? i.e. the play5 will still work by being close to the Bridge (which is hard wired via cat cabling to the router)Or should I change to a boost??ThanksJohn      

Fixed. Turned router off & on

Hello. I bought my Sonos system in 2015, and in 2018 they went with our household belongings into storage.  I have resurrected them and have gathered that I had to reset it.  Then it asked if I wanted to update to S2, which I did, but my play one wasn't compatible so I reset it again.  Then I didn’t get Spotify on it, so reset it again.  But this time I get the message at the top of the app “not connected to the internet” when it is.  I turned the router off and on.  Is it possible I have reset it too many times.  And why could I not see the “add services” button so I could get iHeart and Spotify onto it when I did have it connected.  It’s all very frustrating

Hi,I use the sleep option on my iMac Sonos app, is there a similar sleep timer option for Sonos for the iPad? regards….Simon

It would be very nice if the Apple Music plugin for the Sonos app in iPhoneOS allowed better control - for example, if you’re browsing albums by an artist, there is no way to sort alphabetically, date released, etc. Also, when an artist has a ton of releases (usually a lot of singles), the process is a big mess - it would be very helpful to allow sorting by album/single/live release, etc. There should also be a shuffle feature to play all the music by an artist randomly.

So my Sony XBR55 X900E will only send audio through the built in speakers. I have a HD Fury setup with AppleTV 4K, Nvidia Shield, & Firestick all work like they should. Is this proper or did I mess something up? 

My mini-controller sits atop all open windows on my Mac.  Is it possible to have the mini-controller more transparent so it doesn’t obscure other windows?  Or is it possible to have the mini-controller float or appear underneath other windows?

Once I get my Beam Gen 2 setup, do I need to do anything to remove my original Beam from association with my account to free it up for another happy home?

Can i make this setup working Center Speaker  - Arc Rear Speaker - One SL - R/L Subwoofer - Sonos Sub Mid Above Sound - Sonance in celling speaker - pair Rear above sound - Sonance in celling speaker - Pair    Can I make this setup or not ? or do I have to use 3rd party AVR like Denon or ?if yes then I have to use 2 Sonos Amp for in celling speaker or just 1 AMP.   Please Suggest

I am thinking of buying the new Beam but also getting 2 extra speakers for surround sound. I’ve read the document on how to , in general, setup surround sound speakers. It states that they need to be in line of sight to the device (Beam it would be in my case). However I was planning on tucking the extra speakers down and to either side of the sofa. They won’t be in line of sight. Is this going to cause me a problem? What may not work?

Kan ik naar de radio luisteren met Sonos? 

We have 4 in-ceiling speakers and 2 Sonos Amps.  After connecting the surround speakers we are no longer receiving sound from the left and right front speakers.  I’m not sure where I went wrong.  Any help is appreciated!

Hello SONOS community,I have a BEAM Gen2 w/ S2 app, Sub Gen3, Apple TV 4K (first generation), and a Sharp LE832 42” TV.I have tried connecting the BEAM to the TV’s ARC and messed around with the TV’s audio settings.  At best, I can get Stereo PCM when connected in this way.  If I ‘force’ the ATV to use Dolby Digital 5.1 output, this configuration does not produce any sound.I have invested in an HDMI splitter and connection via digital optical out DOES give me Dolby Digital 5.1 (again, when forced from ATV).  For sure, a first world problem, but I would like to take advantage of ARC but I am beginning to think I am resigned to accept that my TV’s ARC does not carry a compatible Dolby signal.  I realize a simple solution would be to buy a new TV, but I am hoping to hold out a bit longer.I appreciate any observations/suggestions.Thank you.

After nearly a year of ownership on our Arc SL we’ve decided to get a new TV. I’m looking at the Vizio M65. According to their site, the display has HDMI 2.1, but according to some reviews its really only HDMI 2.0b or something like that. From a previous discussion I believe someone said that on HDMI 2.0 you can get Atmos but its only Dolby Digital Plus, not True HD, so its compressed. Is this true? Or will True HD Atmos play through eARC on HDMI 2.0? Also, I’ve read elsewhere that the Apple TV 4k (5th or current generation) will not support True HD Atmos, only compressed DD+, regardless of the HDMI connection. Is this true?

HiNew to Sonos and looking to get the Sonos Beam Gen 2 to go with my LG C1 and PS5. How would this connectivity work for sound? 1. LG C1 to Sonos Beam Gen 2 via the eArc HDMI 2 (port 2)? 2. PS5 to C1 via HDMI 2.1 (port 1)Simple as that? How about the atmos setup I see a few threads about trouble with this?Thanks in advance!

I’ve been holding off updating to S2 because I expected it to be painful, buggy, and a mess to set up, and I wasn’t disappointed. I was finally forced to it in hopes that it ould solve the inability for Sonos to add Apple Music on Android. No luck with that BTW - it’s broken with the S2 app as well,So I installed the S2 app, and first it tells me it can’t find my Sonos system (Sonos One stereo pair), Then it decides that it did find them after all (same bug on a 2nd Android 11 device). Then it tells me that my speakers are incompatible. No further information or suggested course of action. Guessing that it wants me to update the speaker firmware (and why wouldn’t it tell me that?}, I dug down until I found a System Update option. It then logged me out and I had to log in again. But finally I got it to do the speaker update. It then recovered to match the original S1 functionality. No improvement I can see, and Apple Music remains broken.And of course now I discover that my Windows 7 de
