I ordered a Sonos Arc from Best Buy on February 17, 2021.  Any idea when his will ship?

HI EveryoneI am wishing to create a media wall similar to the ones in the picture attached, where my ARC is mounted in a housing above or below the TV.Searching through the forums and chats that have already been created there was much discussion about the up firing speakers in the arc and the distances that the ARC required around at each end and above and therefore its placementMany of the chats are over 6months old and SONOS community was wishing for updates as time progressed. I was wondering if there is any further comment or success stories of the ARC in a built in unit or whether people had tried this finding poor results Many thanks

Hey all! I’m wanting to remove some clutter and am thinking about mounting my one SL’s to the wall. I was curious if anyone had tinkered with some of the mounts. Ive been seeing people say really good things about the Flexon. I love the Sonos mounts due to the design and magnetic ball on the back. However the sanus mounts look for appealing as well. Anyone got any experience with one or both or all three?

Hi,  We are renovating our new house. We’re looking to install Sonos in ceiling speakers in 3 rooms. We would need 4 speakers in Kitchen/lounge also one in main bathroom and 1 in the main bedroom.I know i need an amp but unsure if i need 1 or 2. Could you advise me on what i need to do this please? Some questions:Do i need a wire from my wifi to the amp/amps? Do the amps have to be near or can i put them in the office or a cupboard? Can i plug 4 speakers into the 1 amp? Can i switch off one speaker/room and use the others or do i have to use them all together? I am planning on getting a sound bar for 2 tvs also, what wires do i need for this? And where from and too?  Do i need 1 or 2 Amps for 6 speakers and 2 sound bars What speaker wire is best to use? am i best buying the speakers etc from the Sonos website? Sorry for all the questions, I have no idea, my electrician is trying to convince me to buy £50 bluetooth speakers rather than Sonos, so he isn't helpful.I’d really appreciate so

Hi Folkscan someone kindly help me please?i was considering buying a gen 3sub, the reviews I read about the ARC playbar suggest that a sub may not be necessary as the bass response from the ARC is supposed to be very good, the question I ask is as followsi don’t have EARC on my Samsung tv only ARC hence I won’t be able to play in Atmos 😥what sound formats will the playbar be able to play using the ARC output from the tv?Many ThanksMartin 

Hi,Sure this will be an easy one, and thanks in advance for the info.…I recently bought a beam, 2 x ones (will get the sub soon) I have one “one” in the lounge, other on the kitchen bar, as open plan / linked rooms….I like hearing the TV whilst prepping dinner, but I am going to put the kitchen one in the lounge so the surround is being utilized and sounds better. But here’s the question…..I want to buy another “one” for the kitchen, but will I be able to listen / hear the TV output even though it won’t be part of the beam 5.1 surround set up? Thank you in advance.

Bonjour,J’aimerai pouvoir encore profiter de ma platine CD (j’ai l’ampli qui va avec si il est encore utile ?)Mais j’aimerai que le son sorte sur mes enceintes sonos (plusieurs “Sonos : 1” et “Sonos 1 SL”), quel est le sonos le mieux adapté : AMP ou PORT ?Merci d’avance pour votre aide

Did Sonos discontinue the background imags/screensaver on TVs? I used to have it on my beam but when I select that HDMI it doesn’t show anything amymore. Can you re-enable this setting somehow?

We have two Sonos ones with a Sonos sub in our kitchen  (zone 3) and a pair of smallish Paradigm speakers in our living room with a sub (zone 2) now running off a sonos amp in lieu of Zone 2 on our avr as it is easier to launch from the phone and we use it more--especially the wife.  We stream amazon music in those zones more than anything but can use the Sonos amp to play CD’s etc from our Library/HT/main listening area (Zone 1).  I am getting an Apple TV for the Library and that can stream amazon music to the AVR and then to the two other zones but it is a bit clunky.  I had some help with fishing wires by an electrician who also helps with HT and he said best to get a Sonos port and use the digital coax out to the avr to keep it simple.  I suppose I can run everything form the Sonos amp then but still need to trigger the avr and have the correct source chosen.  I am confused by the choices and appreciate any comments. 

For some reason this amp has garnered a reputation for being “bright.” I’ve seen it mentioned in reviews, and I’ve seen it come up on these forums. What follows are a few thoughts I have on the matter and my own experience with the Amp.There’s a good thread on here comparing Amp’s freq. response to a Peachtree Nova 150 (known for being warm/musical, tube preamp, etc.) and the responses are nearly identical, with the Sonos Amp showing slightly less high-end output over 10k. So from a technical comparison (and granted these are only one user’s in-room measurements) the amp is not showing any sort of high-frequency emphasis. I’ve been using the amp for a bit over a year now, and in my personal experience it’s never sounded overly bright or fatiguing. Neutral, clean and clear, but not bright. Paired with some Elac Debut Reference bookshelves, it delivers a nice even-handed, rich and dynamic sound. Compared to my Yamaha HS8 powered monitors, the AMP/Elac setup is actually much smoother soun

Hi, I would like report a bug with the way that Sonos devices handle HTTP Live Streaming URLs. I oversee the streaming for this radio station URL:https://stream.jpbgdigital.com/CJZN.m3u8 It includes 4 audio segments in the playlist, and uses this header to indicate that stream playback should begin from the very first segment:#EXT-X-START:TIME-OFFSET=0 However we’re hearing from listeners that Sonos devices are consistently starting the stream from the 2nd segment in the list and missing the first few seconds of audio. I’ve also been able to reproduce this on my Sonos One. There is more information on this header within the HLS RFC spec here:https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8216#page-36 I’m happy to do any testing to help facilitate a fix here. Thanks,Andrew

So, I’ve ripped out my very dated entertainment center builtin and and rebuilding it.  I’m strongly considering an Arc/Sub/Surrounds solution for cleanliness, and frankly, the cost is appealing.  However, I have an 18ft steeply angled ceiling.  Can Trueplay compensate for this?  My other option is to stick with an AVR receiver and install pendant speakers so I can normalize the height of left and right. Anyone using an Arc with angled ceilings?

I have a LG CX and what to mount it to my wall.  But I have a lot of questions?  I am using this mount fo LG https://www.vogels.com/en-us/c/thin-505-extrathin-fixed-tv-wall-mountI have read this:When wall-mounting, it is recommended to have a clearance of at least 5.5 inches between the TV and Arc. As per important safety information one of the lists states; Do not block any ventilation openings. Leave a recommended space of 4“ (10cm) around the unit.How high should I mount my LG to the wall? How high should I mount my arc? Which mount for ARC?  Should I get the mount that can extend 2 inches?  https://www.sanus.com/en_US/products/mounts/wssatm1/ or get the flat mount?  I want the arc to be as closed to wall as possible. Do I need a mount that has magnet? Once I get my TV Mounted, I should mount arc 4inch or 5.5 inch below TV?   it is recommended to have a clearance of at least 5.5 inches.  Any hints or suggestion would be great.Thank you!

Hi AllI Have a Sony Bravia and Sonos Home speaker setup.I have my own music that i like and listen to and have no particular interest in other types of music.So i don't want to pay Deezer Spotify Amazon etc etc for the privilege of listening to the music i already own….!I was using Google Play and this was working great then we were all forced in to YTM and now the Bravia does not show any of my playlists albums artists let alone plat anything so you can imagine how unimpressed i am !!There are no other apps that support upload of music (iBroadcast being the one exception but that does not have an Android compatible App at the mo..)So i'm thinking of setting up a very small NAS box (only need a single disk) The Music app on the Bravia detects the Beam and looks for a music library on its IP address (of which i dont have one right now) Can anyone recommend something that works is compact, small (1-2 drive bays) and relatively inexpensive !!Does this plug directly in to the back of the B

Possiedo due casse Symfonisk Ikea Sonos in configurazione stereo, ho ordinato un Sonos Sub 3^gen. Se acquistassi un televisore Samsung o LG compatibili Airplay 2, utilizzando le App del televisore quali Now Tv, Netflix, Amazon, Apple tv, etc. posso trasmettere il suono (senza aggiungere altri dispositivi tipo soundbar beam che tramite il cavo hdmi arc potrebbe farlo) al mio impianto Sonos. I televisori con Airplay 2 “a bordo” sono in grado di trasmettere l’audio o possono solo ricevere con Airplay ?

Hi i have a requestas a userI wish to move my sub from one room to another without losing the settings I made for it in the first placeso I do not have to set it up the sub level every time i move it to another room.Background:our Living room is big I have a soundbar where my sub normally is connected to, but when i want to hear Music i normally move the sub to my 2 play5s. I do this a lot and i found that it could be nice i there where an option where my first settings for the sub was remembered(make it optional) hope you understand my request Else feel free ti contact me.     

Can’t control volume from the plus minus buttons, re speakers. Frustrating but can control from the slide control. Come on Sonos sort your app please. 

Along with or Instead of the current charging base option that is all one connected piece. The Sonos Move should have an extra option for purchase that receives power via USB type C and an accompanying 45 watt USB-C PD charging block also preferably detachable form the cord). Type C to Type C cord preferably for future proofing.This would help stream line the product as it can be charged via the USB type C when being transported or use on the go. This was almost a deal breaker for me when trying to decide between the Sonos Move and the Bose Portable Home Speaker. As the Bose PHS has a type C charging base and can easily be charged with an ordinary android or apple type c charger 

I have a wonderful pair of Play 5 gen 2’s with the Sub…...I would like to add “one” Play 5 for a rear chanel ambient effect,but obviously,it would have to be the Gen 3….Is this doable? Thanks

Hi guys in the community, so I understand why Sonos played it safe and went with a mid-woofer for the overall sound quality on the Sonos play 5 and the Sonos move but see Apple didn’t play it safe and it still sounds fantastic and like I say the Apple HomePod just factually sounds better at max volume. Now I like the treble on my Sonos move better but I definitely much preferred the bass on the Apple HomePod over the Sonos move. I mean the Apple HomePod has a larger woofer in a smaller box. And I couldn’t figure out how it’s like a year and a half older than the Sonos move but yet it managed to output deeper cleaner bass boom/bass bump from a smaller box? I feel like the Sonos move could of definitely had closer to the bass power of the Sonos play 5 (Gen 2) if it would of had a woofer instead of a mid-woofer because the Sonos move and the Sonos play 5 both run mid-woofers. I definitely think the Sonos move could of had maybe near quite as much bass as the play 5 but it could of had dee

Hi, Will the Connect gen 1 be unsupported in the near future? Kind regardsKristian

So my set up is 4 Sonos One's in various rooms in my house. Aso have a Sonos Beam in the Living room. In one other room I have a Marantz PM6006 Amplifier which has a Marantz CD6006 CD player, Project Essential turntable and some Monitor speakers all connected to it. I've now bought a Sonos Port. Connected the Port to the Marantz Amp and streaming Spotify through that and all synced up with music playing throughout the house including the Monitor speakers. So no issues there. My issue is connecting the Amp so I can play records and CD's through my Sonos system. I've connected some RCA cables from the Aux Line In on the Port to the only Audio Out in the Amp which is referenced under Recorder. Although I am able to play a record on the turntable and hear it on the Sonos One's and also the Monitor speakers the Sonos One's are about a second behind the Monitors. I guess my question is have I set that up right? If I haven't what should I do so all speakers are synced? If I have set up right

I just recently bought the beam for my small apartment and I’m looking to expand to the 5.1 surround setup. Should I get the Play:1s or Ones for my rears first or the sub first? I want to gradually get to the 5.1 because of the cost.

I have a Sonos gen 1 playbar and 2 play 1s gen 1  the playbar is linked via fibre optic to a Samsung smart tv. The sound is really good 👍1st question. Do you think the addition of a gen 3 sub would be beneficial in a room approx 4metres x 4 metres to this setup?2nd question. What are the best settings on tv and Sonos to get 5.1 sound? Maybe arc into a hdmi / fibre optic converter or just fibre optic?what streaming apps work best for 5.1i guess this may have been asked before so apologies if so 😢Thank youMartin
