Sonos is a popular brand that deals with home and music systems including products like Sonos Sub, Sonos Gen 3 Sub among others. The Sonos subwoofers are equipped with ARC or Audio Return Channel which basically routes the audio coming from the TV (when connected to it) with the bass that will make you fall in love with it.

How to Fix Sonos Subwoofer Not Connecting to ARC
However, over a few weeks, we intercepted some issues with the Sonos subwoofer systems including the one where the Sonos subwoofer won’t connect to ARC. It goes without saying, this is a problem since many people want to access ARC but can’t due to some reasons. Here are some methods you can deploy to try and fix Sonos Subwoofer that won’t connect to ARC issues.
Reboot the TV and Sonos system
Somehow you can’t get the Sonos subwoofers up and running on ARC. In that case, I would advise you to reboot the entire system which includes both the TV and the Sonos home theatre system. It is possible that a temporary glitch caused the issue, throwing you off the rails. Rebooting can help so do try it out.
Reconfigure the system
If you can’t get the system upon any Sonos playbar paired with surround and subs with ARC, it’s time to reconfigure the connections. Remove all the cables across both master and slave units as well as the TV. Now, plug in the playbar with the TV using an Ultra HDMI cable (if applicable) to the ARC port on the playbar to the ARC port on the TV. Use the Sonos S1 or S2 app to configure the playbar to the app and then, configure the same with the TV using WiFi. Pair the sub and then the surround (or vice versa) but in a one-by-one manner ensuring the slaves that you connect are working.
