I just upgraded to S2 and now the sound on my Plabase is very tinny. Even with max bass there is no real depth of sound. Used t be terrific full bodied sound in S1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you. I have been in touch with Sonos Support and the diagnostics are clean. Redid Trueplay and there is some improvement. Will continue with your recommendations.

First, I'd like to ask some questions to isolate the issue so we can create a path towards resolution.
1. When did the issue start happening?
2. Do you experience the tinny sound when playing the TV or when streaming music?
3. Have you tried changing the audio format? Did you notice any improvements?
Let me suggest the following steps to see if this would work for you.
- Unplug the optical cable from the Sonos Playbase and the TV.
- Disconnect other devices connected to your TV (cable box, Blu-Ray i.e.)
- Unplug your Sonos Playbase and the TV from the power and wait 30 seconds before you plug them back in.
- Reconnect the optical cable to your TV and the Playbase. This is to ensure that all the connections are fully seated.
- Test the audio.

Final Update:
Today I did a factory reset, reestablished the Playbase unit, and did the Trueplay tuning exercise. I’m happy to report much improved sound. Thank you for all your advice. Case closed.
