I have a Play5 connected to my Samsung TV via line in......
The sound cuts out if the volume is turned down very low via the TV.
Cant have the TV volume below 4.....
Normal volume returns when I turn the TV up again. 

I can work around this by leaving the TV volume High, and then turning the SONOS volume down to the level I want 
No problems with cut outs at low volume when streaming music..
I'm not a electronic wiz, but I'm thinking that the TV pumps out less current or voltage through the audio line out at low volume. And that the SONOS line in needs a specific current or voltage for it to detect audio is being played....Please correct me....
Is there a way for me to get SONOS to play the audio from my TV at very low volume?????
Cheers

Hi,

I have reviewed both diagnostics. Every Sonos system has one master device called (RootBridge). This is the unit that is wired to the network.
In your setup it's the Sonos CONNECT:AMP, the issue is the PLAY:5 named Office is the RootBridge.

Follow the step below:
(Make sure to close all Sonos apps running on all computers & mobile device(s) )
-Open a webpage and type in the address bar: http://192.168.0.10:1400/advconfig.htm

-On the webpage set the First ZP option to Disable and press submit.

-On submission the page will come back Blank.

-Type then in the address bar: : http://192.168.0.10:1400/reboot

-Open a webpage and type in the address bar: http://192.168.0.15:1400/advconfig.htm

-On the webpage set the First ZP option to Enable and press submit.

-On submission the page will come back Blank.

-Type then in the address bar: : http://192.168.0.15:1400/reboot

Once done resubmit a diagnostic and reply with the confirmation number.
