Unfortunately, the Arc doesn’t support Google Cast.
As someone with a few Sonos speakers, and a few HomePods around the house, it’s super nice to be able to play to all of them, instead of having to stick with one brand. For starters, the soundbar supports Apple’s AirPlay 2, meaning that you can access it from your default audio apps on your iPhone, and use it for multi-room audio. Let’s start with the features on offer here, and there are a number to go through. Image source: Christian de Looper for BGR Thankfully, the Sonos Arc seriously competes in both of those things. Of course, the design is one thing - but much more important are the features and sound quality on offer. Make sure everything is up to date before you start setting up the Arc.
SONOS STAND UPDATE
These issues seemed to be related to needing to update the app and the other Sonos speaker in the house. I did have a few issues with setting up the Arc with my account and existing Sonos speaker. You can set up Trueplay through the Settings menu for the soundbar. Trueplay helps ensure that it’ll sound great regardless of your room. The way sound interacts with its environment, like the room shape, your furniture, and so on, can change how it sounds quite a lot. Sonos’ Trueplay basically tunes the speaker based on your room.

Then, open the Sonos app, and if you have an account, make sure you’re signed in.
SONOS STAND TV
To set the Arc up, you’ll start by connecting it to your TV and plugging it in. Setting up the Sonos Arc is relatively easy, and if you’ve set up a Sonos speaker in the past, you should have no issues setting up the Arc. It doesn’t look bad though, and in fact, everything is built from premium, high-end materials. This is because of the fact that the soundbar is designed to simulate surround sound by bouncing audio off the walls and ceiling. Pretty much the entire front, top, and sides are covered with hole-punch speaker grilles. There’s also an Ethernet port for better network connectivity. But, you won’t be able to use Dolby Atmos if you do so. You will get an optical to HDMI adapter to use with an optical port from TV. The soundbar basically just has a power input and an HDMI port that you’ll connect to your TV’s eARC port. On the back, the Arc is a little bare-bones - which will be fine for some, and not great for others.
Some might want something that stands out a little more, and to be fair, mounted on a wall the white probably blends in a little better. The soundbar is available in black and white, and we’re reviewing the white model. It sits in at 3.4 inches tall, which is a little taller than many other models, but still an acceptable height. Many will be able to place the soundbar in front of their TV, but if you do, make sure you don’t cover up things like IR receivers if you need them. The soundbar is 45 inches wide, which isn’t small by any means.
That helps play into its sound quality, of course, but it does mean you’ll have to find a good spot to place it on your TV stand or entertainment center. Instead, it has taken the other route of modifying the functionality of its devices to circumvent the infringement, which is messy in the short term.The first thing to notice about the Sonos Arc, especially when compared to its other soundbars, is how wide it is. The company could have just paid Sonos royalties and licensed the necessary patents to end this matter. It has already had to make some annoying changes to how Speaker Group volume controls work leading to a poor user experience. Google has been on the losing side in its war against Sonos. Over the years, we have worked hard to make sure that our shared customers would have a positive experience and are disappointed that Sonos continues to use the legal system in a way that deliberately creates issues for these users.” Our support teams are on hand to fix any issues they have and if needed, we will send replacement devices or offer a Google store credit. We will work with them to minimize disruption. “This decision temporarily impacts a small number of Pixel users who set up a speaker or display for the first time with the Device Utility App.
