Pair Arc Ultra with one Era 300?

Setup: Arc Ultra + 1 Sub 4 + 1 Era 300 + LG G4 TV (using eARC HDMI).

Goal: Connect everything to the TV in one Sonos room with synced volume, without relying on my phone for adjustments while watching TV.

Issues Encountered:

  • After setup, I end up with two rooms: Family Room and Family Room 2. These can be grouped via the Sonos app, but:
  • Grouping requires the Sonos app every time I watch TV.

  • TV volume doesn’t sync properly with the Era 300 when grouped—its volume needs to be adjusted separately via my phone.

  • The Era 300’s output is slightly out of sync with the Arc audio

Question:

How can I configure my setup so all devices are in one Sonos room with synced volume, eliminating the need for manual grouping or phone adjustments?

I don’t think you can. 
 

If you have a second Era 300 you can bond them as surrounds to your Arc Ultra. For tv input, the volume will then control Arc and Eras. But, you will then lose the potential line-in (via the optional adapter) option on the Eras. 
 

An audio delay is inherent in the way Sonos works and can achieve synchronised multi-room audio. You only notice the audio delay when there’s something to reference it to - like lip movement in a video stream.
