    Not Working with Samsung TVs

    Wanting… Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is not working with newer Samsung TVs when using the HDMI cable. Sonos support is aware of the issue but has no update as to when a fix, if ever, will be available. Sonos Support’s work around is to use the optical cable, instead of the HDMI cable.

    The biggest plus is dialog is clearer. Also like the size - a fraction of our old sound bar . Wish I could connect to it directly via Bluetooth .

    Worked fine for a few hours then left to go to the gym. Come back home and now doesn't work with tv at all no matter what I do. Tried factory resetting but that doesn't want to work either, cost way too much to only work once and for a few hours. Finally get the beam working now the app doesnt work seriously a flawed system

    Hammering Sound- Defective

    I didn't realize what a widespread issue this was until it happened to me and I started searching it online. Beam would start making a hammering/machine gun sound at full volume out of nowhere. Sometimes while in use, other times in the middle of the night. Only way to stop it is to unplug it and it's literally painful to your ears to be in the same room when it's happeneing. Didnt stop no matter what troubleshooting I tried with support so I returned it. It has been going on for over a year, since the release of this bar and the Arc actually has a similar ongoing issue.

    The design is sleek, but the audio quality falls short. Given the cost, it leaves me questioning the value. Expected more for the cost.
