Talk Sonos Products

Hi all, i have bought Sonos Arc ultra. I have been using only AirPlay so far. I have a standard projector and Apple TV. And I wanted to know if I get Sonos Amp would i be able to get Dolby Atmos output ?  please note the projector doesn’t support HDMI Arc output. It’s just a standard HDMI connection 

When trying to adjust the distance on surround sound feature, it will not allow you to adjust. It’s not highlighted like normally. 

It is not a network issue. Have actually had a professional in to check everything out. New update has left app unable to function on Android devices. Apple iPad functioning very well. Why can't you people leave things alone. After last year's debacle, I thought all that crap was behind us, but once again. Final straw for me.

I’m just wondering why I went through the trouble of adding all of my downstairs speakers to a zone, but now I can’t add the sub to any speaker nor to the zone. This seems… silly. Please explain the logic.

In another post (which has been closed) the op asks about using a streaming player like wiim or eversolo with sonos.  The op asks if apple music can be streamed lossless.  A response post says that any sonos device with a line in can take 48bit music from the streaming device via the line in.  Since my arc doesn’t have line in, i’m trying to wrap my head around this.  I have arc and era 300s.  So in I route the line in into one era 300s, it will play the music over the entire room? (arc and eras) or just the 300 (s). If the music is spacial audio (or atmos), will it play it as such?

I can no longer access Newstalk radio (Ireland) on my Sonos system. selecting the station either under Tunein or via Sonos radio just plays the intro adverts in a constant loop… FRUSTRATING!!

So many frustrating things since the Sonos app debacle.  While some aspects of the S2 app have slowly gotten better, on my iMac using the Sonos Desktop Controller I can call up and play Sonos playlists (all of which were created on my iMac), however they will not play using the S2 controller on my IOS or Android devices even though the playlist icon shows on the S2 controller.  It spins for a while and that’s it.  Note if I search the music library for songs within the playlists I can play the individual songs.  Do others have this same experience and what, if any, remedies exist for this problem.  Please note that I do not use any Sonos speakers.  My system is composed only of Ports, Sonos Connects, Amps and Connect Amps.  Thank you.

What I realized after playing the 7.1.4 test tone is that, despite the fact that the Sonos Era 100 has two tweeters facing opposite directions, it outputs sound from only one same tweeter when playing the side-channel and rear-channel test tones. The other one tweeter is not used... This is why playing the 7.1.4 test tone sounds like playing a 5.1.4. This is a waste of potential. If the side-channel and rear-channel were played from different tweeters, the channel separation would be much clearer. I suggest this. (The surround speakers of the LG S95TR and Samsung Q990 series soundbars also have separate tweeters for the side channels and rear channels.)

I have a 5.1 receiver with a connect amp connected to listen to music through the  receivers speakers.  I have a new kitchen with 3 dual channel ceiling speakers.  I’d like to be able to listen to music through the existing 5.1 system as well as the new dual channel speakers.(x3). This might be a simple fix, but I’m not sure how to add these new speakers, as each speaker takes 2 channels for the stereo experience. (L n R x 2). Another receiver?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  McMac 

When watching Dolby Atmos videos, this configuration operates as 7.1.4, but the problem is that the soundbar's side-firing speaker output is so weak that it actually sounds like 5.1.4. https://download.dolby.com/us/en/test-tones/dolby-test-tones_7_1_4.mp4In fact, when playing Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 test tones and listening to the side channel test tones, the side-firing speakers are so weak that the side channel sound sounds like the rear channel sound. Not only the test tones, but also when you watch various movie contents, if you place the Era 100 behind the sofa, the sound that should be heard from the side does not come from the side but rather sounds as if it is coming from the rear. Therefore, I have the following request to the sound engineering team: When combined with the Era 100, please increase the volume output of the side-firing speakers.

So I bought a Beam gen 2 for my bedroom mounted on the wall on a Sonos wall mount. The soundbar is updated trueplayed and connected to a 2022 Apple TV. When testing the soundbar I immediately noticed that the voices are balanced towards the left side of the tweeter in the middle. There’s a midrange speaker on each side of the tweeter and this array I assume is responsible for the center channel. Not talking about the far left and right speakers. Now getting up close to the soundbar the “issue” becomes a lot more noticeable and when you’ve first noticed it it’s hard to ignore. I talked to Sonos support and told them about the issue and we decided to replace the unit.  New unopened box. I installed the unit hoping that the issue would be fixed but lo and behold the issue still exists. So now I start thinking that this is by design and that voices and main effects are played by the midrange on the left side of combined with the tweeter in the middle and the right midrange is somehow used

Setting up a Yoga Studio and need a system that can handle using a microphone and listen to music at the same time. What is a good setup for this?

Where is the promised Android widget?I am fed up of being told it's coming, it's been over a year, it's ridiculous to have to open the app up just to skip a track or reduce the volume etc.I want my Widget back!

I manage my local music with Apple Music.  I then copy the entire music directory to a NAS so that the tracks are always available.  In the past, Sonos could harvest the playlists out of the .muscilibrary database but that recently stopped working.Is this a know bug?  Is there a work around?  I’ve attempted to use .xml and/or .m3u playlists as a tactical solution but Sonos flat out ignores the .xml files and the .m3u files show up as playlists but the list itself is empty.Thanks for any guidance.Charles.

My HT system comprises a Sonos ARC, ERA 300’s and a SUB 3. TV is a new LG G5 77”. I am looking for a BR player to be used mainly for audio playback of Atmos and DTS discs.I have seen that the Panasonic  players are highly rated especially the ub820 and ub9000. The 9000 is a better constructed unit featuring superior audiophile-grade DACs and offers balanced XLR analog audio outputs. But as I am connecting my ARC using eARC then the analog section is not needed.Any comments or suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you.

I have simple setup where my Sony TV is connected to a set of Klipsch speakers as the main audio output, and I also have an Amp which is connected to the speakers. I noticed that when I listen to Spotify on the tv/speakers, the sound is much louder and clearer than if I played it directly from the app and amp. Does anyone know why? This is puzzling me since if anything I should expect better quality from the amp. TIA!

I have high end stereo equipment and I have also used Sonos for years (since Sonos debuted).  I am looking to move all of my existing music which includes vinyl, CDs, and iTunes (from an old iMac) into a single, centralized location).  I have seen where some companies claim to be Sonos compatible streaming equipment that would allow me to upload all of my music into a single stereo component (some of the music is not found anywhere else to stream).Has anyone chosen to do this and, if so, I have 2 questions: Q1: What equipment did you use?Q2: Did you have a good experience  with streaming from that equipment wirelessly / bluetooth to play on your Sonos device(s)?

Hi There, I’m about to take on a small yoga studio (would fit 22 people max) and it has a relatively low roof. Wondering what the best set up would be, which model, how many speakers etc? Thanks in advance 

Bonjour, J'aimerais acquérir une nouvelle enceintes pour pouvoir écouter ma musique en Bluetooth. J'aimerais savoir si en utilisant le Bluetooth sur era 100 era 300 et move 2 on peut écouter la musique du téléphone sur le reste des enceintes ( one, one sl, arc, sub ) sonos via le Wi-Fi ?Merci. 

I recently bought a pair of SONOS ERA 100.I created a group for Sonos ERA 100 called “FrontERA100”I would like to know if I can include the sub on a seperate group? Is this possible when the sub is already assign to a different group called “TV Room” with a Beam and Play 1(2 rear) configured?OrI need to purchase another sub? Caused my end goal for music is just to listen ther SONOS Era 100 and Sub.

Hi everyone,I’ve got a TV mounted high up in the corner of my room (photo attached). I’m looking to add a Sonos soundbar, most likely the Beam (Gen 2), and possibly one or two Era 100s behind me for surround.Because of the corner position and the curtain/window nearby, I’m wondering: Would the Beam work well acoustically if mounted under the TV with a bracket? How much would the corner affect bass/Atmos? Are Era 100s behind the seating area a good idea for surround, and how should they be placed? I’d love to hear what others with similar setups recommend — whether I should stick with just a Beam, go Beam + rears, or even consider Arc instead - maybe even a sub? Thanks in advance!

Is there any plan to improve the Sonos App.  It just constantly does not work.  I have spent so much money on these speakers and the App has progressively gotten worse as the years go on.  It’s super frustrating building a system throughout your house using the Sonos platform and service getting worse and worse.  Awful. 

Hi!I just upgraded my old Playbar with an Arc Ultra. I learnt the hard way ☹️ that my old Play:3s cannot be used as surround speakers with the Ultra. Poor research; I only blame myself… So, I will buy a pair of 100s or 300s. Of course, I crave the better Era 300 with Dolby Atmos and am leaning towards buying those. In addition to films, series and watching sports, I frequently listen to music in this setup. However, the part of the living room where these will be placed is not very large; 3.5m from sofa to TV and approx. 2.5m between the sorround speakers. I think I will need to wall mount the speakers and there are not that much space around them. See attached picture.  Any thoughts on whether the Era 300 is «overkill» in this setup? I can afford them, but am of course not eager to throw away the money if the 100s will give more or less the same sound experience given the rather small space I will use them in.  

Hi!My speakers system right now is Arc, 2xEra 300 and Sub gen 3. I’m want to buy Arc ultra, and i thinking it is worth to take Sub gen 4?Someone know how it will be play with Arc ultra, 2xEra 300 and Sub gen 3 and Sub gen 4? Or better sell sub gen 3, and leave only sub gen 4?

I get this error even after uninstall/reinstall of controller version 90.0-67300. I’m running Windows 11 25h2
