I just bought an Arc and two Ones. I ran TruePlay and music is fantastic. TV dialog is hard to understand, I've tried several shows and movies.

Can I adjust at all? The TV controlled don't allow for HDMI output.

Thanks!

Speech enhancement is the Square Dialog box in the circle lower right.

Open the Sonos app when playing your Arc with a video source and turn on Speech Enhancment.

I couldn't find this. I saw the recommendation to go into "Now playing" but there's no Speech Enhancement setting..?

If your TV is on and you select the TV / ARC room you should see two icons in the center of the bar, a little crescent moon for night mode and a text bubble for speech enhancement.

If you open the room you should see the same two icons above the volume bar. Only in TV mode though.

I’m confused by this: ‘The TV controlled don't allow for HDMI output.’ What does that mean? Is the Arc not connected via HDMI ARC? If not, how is it connected? 

For instance, if you’re using a Sonos adapter to get from an optical output to the HDMI ARC required by the Sonos Arc, there is the distinct possibility that the Arc is receiving only stereo, and as such, there would be no center channel.

Ah - finally! Thanks for this. It was not obvious to me the ‘chat’ icon represented dialog enhancement.

Sorry for my rushed post. What I meant was, I can’t adjust the audio characteristics via the TV once the output is HDMI eARC.

@AjTrek1 got me the answer I needed.
