My minimalistic setup
Went from a Sonos surround set (Beam gen2, 2x Era 100 and Sub mini) to the A9’s, with the purpose to enjoy active music listening. I am using an AppleTv to stream to sound of movies to the speakers. Active music listening went up from 0% to about 50/50 (music/movies).

Audio balance is weird
When I hear the narration / voiceover, it is mostly quiet and weird, like a background voice volume.
Looks like other people have this issue too?
I have a great setup, Sonos Beam Gen 2 + Sub Mini. LG OLED TV, Apple 4k box….
Never had this issue with anything else.

Recommendations to replace old deviolet sound box
Sonos beam gen 2 is very good. Not an overpowering sound but plenty loud enough. Can add rears if you want to and even a sub woofer.

Windows 11 Dolby Access atmos stopped working entirely
Hello everyone, I am very frustrated at this point. The main issue is that my gaming setup stopped working AGAIN and I have no idea how to fix it. Let me go through my setup first:

Alternatives to the completely useless Sonos beam (gen 2) and surround speakers
As the title says, what alternative brands can I buy where I don't have to worry about the damn useless app that says every other day that I have no products and the next day it works as it should?
I would like to be able to listen to streamed music, preferably from Spotify. I also want good sound

Samsung 5.1.2 soundbar and Pro setting
There is no clearly right or clearly wrong option. AV Amplifier mode allows for specific multichannel config selection, but you run the risk of incorrectly identifying how many channels you have (maybe one thinks they have 7.1, but this is a true 5.1 setup). If you select Soundbar, then you rely on

I purchased 2 (more) era 100s not knowing I cannot (officially) ad them to my beam, sub, rears. DL SonoSequencr. Wasn’t impressed. Am I doing it wrong?
Try playing a test tone track and make sure the channels are coming from the correct speaker. Also when playing audio check the Sonos app to see what format it is playing. If it is PCM instead of Dolby Digital Plus 5.1, Dolby Atmos, etc and the source supports those formats than it likely is the set

Adding fronts
I highly recommend adding fronts. I’ve experimented with Fives, Play 3s, era 100s, and One G2s. They all sound awesome but the order I listed them is how I rank them in terms of overall sound quality. I bought the Play 3s just do the test. $140 for the pair which seems to be the going rate. I was sh

AAC 5.1 but only getting Stereo PCM? (Sonos Beam Gen2/ARC connection)
Hi all,
Here’s my setup -
- Hisense U8QF

I also have a setup with an LG CX/Sonos Arc so I don’t want to convert all my AAC a

Koje zvucnike imate doma?
Nisam audiofil. Telka mi ima dobre zvučnike (Phillips The One 75’), ali sam htio upgrade. Žena nije odobrila Sonos Era 350 pa sam uzeo dva Era 100 i Beam 2 kombo, za moje potrebe sasvim dovoljno, iako bih volio woofer ubaciti u mix. Pregovori su u tijeku.
