Line-in autoplay on Port is flaky with movies

Hi all, My setup consists of two Symfonisk speakers, stereo paired, and a Sonos Port. The Port has a line in from a Behringer sound card. The card is fed by a Raspberry PI and also has an analog line-in signal from the TV.I have set the Port to Autoplay line-in. When I start a film on Netflix (Chromecast connected to TV), the port is activated and sound comes up within two seconds through the Symfonisk speakers, which is good enough.However, if there’s a silent passage in the film, sound gets deactivated and it may take 5 seconds to activate again when signal is detected. Looks like Autoplay gets interrupted after a couple of seconds with no sound. Is there a way to prevent this from happening, other than manually switching input via the Sonos app?

Sonos Beam 2 and Apple TV 4K, 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus

Hey,I have been doing some research and I wanted to run things by people who know much more than I do.The basic setup, Apple TV 2021 (encoding), LG CX (pass-through), and Sonos Beam 2 (decoding).Apple TV set up to Audio Auto, LG CX set up to pass through, and Sonos Beam 2 is the thing that ought to do all the audio encoding.I wanted to make ask if I am right to think it is not currently possible to have DD+ 5.1 when using Apple TV 4K as the source. 1.It is my understanding that using pass-through on LG CX so that Sonos Beam 2 does the decoding is the only way I can get full uncompressed Atoms to my Sonos because it is the only way to Get Dolby TrueHD.If LG CX is set to Auto under digital audio out the Sonos still encodes Atoms but it is somehow not the full experience because it lacks the Dolby TrueHD.Am I correct on this?2.And this one is the rabbit hole, or so I think. It has to do with Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 vs Multichannel PCM 5.1 and 7.1.First things first, the Apple TV product pa

Mac refuses to let Sonos iPhone app connect to it - running Monterey

After not using my Sonos for an extended period, I tried to hook it back up to my system. I upgraded the speaker and my iPhone app, then spent hours trying to get it to find my music library, but no luck. Finally I went to my laptop and upgraded the Mac App there; it immediately found my library, then all I had to do was reboot the iPhone app and now both work. Note if you have multiple networks you have to be on the same network as the speaker, and it appears to only work on a 2.4Gb network.

Nas drive

I’ll be setting up my WD My Cloud PR2100 this weekend. I’ve transfered all my files from my old-n-slow Mac to an external hard drive. I have a new laptop that I’ll be setting up this weekend. So my question is after I set up the Nas will I be able to transfer my music & photos over to Nas using the external hard drive? Or do I need to transfer them from ex hard drive to laptop first? And how does Plex come into play with the transfer?

Samsung UE55RU7400 Apple TV App updated to support Atmos

I regularly check the built in Smart apps to see if Atmos support has been added, The built in Apple TV app now supports Atmos over Dolby Digital + which is good news. Apple Music app hasn’t been updated to support Atmos as yet. also tested AppleTV 4K (gen 1) still does not seem to support Atmos over DD.+

Connecting Sonos Port to JVC receiver to play TV/CD/etc sound on Sonos speakers

I want to play sound from multiple sources on my Sonos speakers using the Sonos Port. I have a JVC RX-702B receiver (link to manual: http://resources.jvc.com/Resources/00/00/90/LVT1437-007A.pdf). Would it work to connect the Port's line-in to the receiver's DVR out/record? Will the digital connection from the Port to the receiver's digital in 1 (DVR/DVD) still work to stream from the Port to my non-Sonos speakers? It's there a better way?

archive.org streaming- need a coder familiar with sonos SDK

Those who are archive.org fans….write them and ask them to find a coding team to create a Sonos service app to link and browse through the Sonos app.  I’d gladly pay $10 to have that service and catalog on Sonos.  Relisten is great but is only maybe 20 pct of the archive.org content.   This needs to happen, people will pay archive.org for the app, they are always trying to raise money.

how to connect any powered subwoofer to the Sonos ARC

As per the title, I came across this YouTube guide and it's quite useful. Using a simple tool you can get a powered sub to sync and receive audio from the ARC/other Sonos stuff too  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Bvof0hF4LE

audio jitter still

Hi all , I'm still getting audio jitter whilst watching sky+ hd , it happened yesterday , whilst it was happening I paused the programme and immediately played the programme again and the jitter stopped !! Then audio was fine , this issue hadn't appeared for 10 days , it could be another 10 days before it does it again ! It never did this with just the TV speakers , it only started since I got the Sonos ! I've found an audio clip on line that is 99% how mine sounds when it happens , unfortunately the guy who posted the clip didn't state a fix , 10 seconds in the issue starts .I have a diagnostic number 1154286223 guy at Sonos didn't seem that helpful tbh , here's the clip https://www.dropbox.com/s/34qcz19xg8dbab9/20180922_214658x2.mp3?dl=0

Play 1 is detected by Sonos App but does not connect to wifi.

I have a standalone Play 1 in my bedroom that does not connect to my wifi anymore. It worked fine for years, the problem started when I changed my wifi from 2.4 Ghz to 5 Ghz, and then after back to 2.4 Ghz (because I learned Sonos does not work well with 5 Ghz).The Sonos system in my living room is still working perfectly.I tried everything to make it work again without result:unplug power and restart reset to factory settings connect with ethernet cable to update sofware  reboot my routerEverytime when I try to connect the Play 1 to wifi using the steps in the Sonos app, I get the same message: “we could not connect the play 1 to your wifi”.The 2.4 Ghz frequency (active) and 5 Ghz frequency (inactive) have separate names in my router, so there can be no confusion in the system about that.Thank you very much for your suggestions :)

Beam 2 + Apple TV 4K + projector - how to use it ?

Hi,I am interested in jumping into the Sonos eco-system with the purchase of a Beam 2 to enhance my home theater experience. For now, I only plan to get the Beam 2 for financial reasons, I hope it will be great already (without subwoofer or surround speakers).Here is my projected setup:Epson projector ceiling mounted (HDMI connexion through ceiling/wall ntegrated plug/wires) Apple TV 4K (not the 2021 gen.) Beam 2Since the Apple TV 4K has no sounds output and the projector is far away from the sound bar, I will not have the option to use the HDMI eARC input of the Beam, which is the way the beam is designed for.I understood the will be 2 turnaround options:Using Airplay 2 Using a HDMI extractor with eArc outputFor the first option (Airplay 2), here are my questions:Is it actually possible to connect the Beam to the Apple TV 4K using Airplay 2 and then have a wireless connexion ? Is that still true that it will require to switch to the Beam each time the Apple TV is switch on ? Is there

because sonos does not allow to increase the volume of the center channel - porque sonos no permite subir volumen canal central

tenia una samsung q90r y estaba muy contento , pero cuando salio sonos arc quede impresionado por su forma y su calidad, asi que compre una , el sonido me inpresiono pero las voces de muchas peliculas quedaban tapadas hasta con la mejora de voz activada, porque sonos no permite subir el volumen de las voces y haria feliz a mucha gente , cuando lo haga comprare otra sonos arc , tuve que venderla .graciasI had a samsung q90r and I was very happy, but when sonos arc came out I was impressed by its shape and quality, so I bought one, the sound impressed me but the voices of many movies were covered even with the voice enhancement activated,because sonos does not allow to raise the volume of the voices and it would make many people happy, when it does I will buy another sonos arc, I had to sell it .thank youMod Edit: Added Google Translation to English, as this is an English-language forum.

Best TV for Sonos setup (with working eARC for TrueHD Atmos)

Hi!I have Sonos Arc + Sub 3rd Gen. + 2 Symfonisk as surrounds and now trying to buy new 65'' TV that works without issues with Sonos so I need advice what to buy (or what’s works for you for uncompressed Atmos).This is what's important to me:- TV has working/stable eARC, no issues, sound does not cut out etc. when playing uncompressed (TrueHD) Atmos from external source (HDD via TV USB OR HDD via nVidia Shield..., content is 4K TrueHD Atmos)- must be 4K, price around or up to 2600$/EUR- preferably not OLED (afraid of burn-in, I'm using subtitles all the time/alot), but if you know/have that kind of combo and it works ok please do recommend anyway :)- VA panel if possible, good/great contrast and picture quality (good black levels, minimum blooming...)- TV will be used in moderately lit room with some possibility of controlling room lighting- streaming is not important because my internet connection is not so great- only models that can be bought in Europe (or will be available soon)Tha

Which brand TV works best with ARC?- Vizio is problematic

So I have the sonos Arc and decided to get the new 65" Vizio Quantum P Series TV.  Read some tv re iews that showed it had great brightness and it seemed to support all audio formats via eArc (from what i saw on rtings.  I'm not an audio expert, but I just wanted a good TV to hook up to my Arc and that would support whatever audio was sent to it.. Well, everything seemed to work well, but about once a week, the TV would start acting weird..   I could see the picture and sound, but the input and settings button wouldn't be responsive...  when this happened, I couldn't even turn off the TV (even using the physical power button on the TV)..   the only solution was to unplug the TV for about a minute and then plug it back in...  This got annoying fast considering the TV plug is in the back of my entertainment stand.. I'm returning the TV and looking to get a new one..  the Vizio only cost about 1k on sale, but I'm not opposed to spending up to 2k on a tv.  I wax considering the LG oled c1,
