Can I connect 4 Sonos One speakers to my existing Sonos Arc & sub? If so, what is the limit of speakers (Sonos one) I can connect to my soundbar and sub to play simultaneously? I already have two Sonos Ones paired as surrounds to the arc and sub. I just want to know if I can add more.

I have just attached my new Sonos arc to my Sony A1e and the only audio input I see on the arc is Stereo pcm. I have tried testing films from both an Apple TV plugged into the Sony tv and the Netflix app on the Sony tv but I get the same result . I know the Sony only has ARC, not eARC, but I would have expected to at least get Dolby digital into the Arc. Any ideas what connections or settings I can try?
Hello, My currently set up in a medium size bedroom: Beam 2, Sub Mini and 2 One SL’sI want to stick with Beam 2 and Sub Mini as I think it enough for my room, but I would like add more enhances surround sound when playing Atmos content. My question is: Worth upgrading my One SL’s to Era 300’s? Since the Beam 2 does not have Up firing Speakers will the 300’s still work well? Thanks!
I have 2x era 300 as surround speakers with my arc and sub and I understand my system should now be able to generate 7.1 channels. I'm trying to get this out of my PS5 whilst playing games, however the Sonos app keeps displaying 5.1. So is this a bug? Am I really getting 7.1 instead of 5.1? What am I missing here?
Hi have a new Samsung Frame TV in the living room and the one connect box is in the closed cabinet right next to the TV. My Sonos AMP set up is inside my media room which is on the other side of the house from the living room. The Sonos AMP is currently connected to my 5 ceiling speakers in the living room. That is working perfectly.Now I want to get the Sonos Amp connected to my Samsung frame so I can run the TV audio to the ceiling speakers. The one connect is in the cabinet next to the TV and inside the cabinet I have a RG6 coaxial female port and then I have a Cat6 port. Both of these hook ups run directly into the media room across the house where my Sonos amp is stored. I need to use either the coaxial hook up or the CAT6 hook up but I cannot figure out the best set up.Currently I have tried this set up:I plugged an optical audio cable into the Samsung one connect box and put the other end in this switch that I found on Amazon (Optical-to-Coaxial or Coax-to-Optical Digital Audio
I’m considering buying a Sonos Arc, and feeding TV audio to it with the optical connection, but I’d like to get an answer to this question: According to the user manual, you can “program a TV remote to control the Sonos volume”, however it also says that “Only one remote can be programmed to control the Sonos home theater speaker at a time.”. I will need to control the volume with either of 2 remotes; however, one of them is a programmable which emits the same control codes as the other, with regard to raising, lowering, or muting the TV volume. My interpretation of what is going on when you “program a TV remote to control the Sonos volume” is that the Sonos is learning what codes the remote uses for the volume commands, and that therefore any number of different remotes could be used for volume, as long as they send the same volume codes.Are my assumptions correct, and is anyone successfully doing this? Thank you.
I have a Playbar and 2 x Play:1 set up in a surround sound configuration. this has worked seamlessly for years. in the past few months the surrounds lose their connectivity and when the mute button is pressed on the Play:1s just flashed amber. I either have to unplug the speakers from the mains and re plug in or remove them from the S2 app and set up from scratch. This nows happens every 2-3 days.I’ve installed a new wifi router that hasn’t fixed the problem and re-installed my Sonos system from scratch and the surrounds are still losing connectivity.Have any other users had this issue and resolved?
I've just upgraded 2 x One SLs to 2 x Era 300s as rears in a home theatre set up (Arc plus 2 subs). Initially I had stands, but have replaced them for wall mounts, in my opinion way better! The speakers can go closer to the wall physically, and you lose the 'ET' effect.My question: there's lots of wood in this room, and I wondered whether a larger rug, or even a rug with some acoustic absorbing material underneath will improve sound. What does everyone think? Thanks!
Hi there,I have just replaced my Sonos One SLs with two Era 300s. In the setup I have an Arc and 2 Subs (3rd Generation).I did initially buy the official stands, however both are slightly leaning forward and not 'square'. I also prefer a neater look, and so will wall mount the Era 300s. Is the above position ideal, or should they be wider apart? My listening position is also slightly lower when watching a film, so I'll have them slightly lower than the stands, will this have any downside? I have one Sub sat on the Era 300 stand's base to the right (it sits here perfectly fine), and the other in the opposite corner of the room where the screen is. Again, is this a good position for the Subs? I haven't found any good Atmos demos to test, although they are significantly better than the Ones. Fuller sound, and better connection to the front and rear channels. Thumbs up! Thanks,David
I currently have a Sonos Beam gen 2 with two surround sound Play 1 speakers. I used TRUEPLAY to make sure that the sound was going to be optimum. The issue I am having, and no one seems to be able to help, is that the surround sound speakers at the back cannot be controlled independently. The BACK LEFT surround speaker has a volume MUCH LESS then the volume of the BACK RIGHT surround speaker. I want to balance those two rear surround Sonos Play 1 speakers.
