Echo: Dolby 2.0 on 2xAMP

All,

I have a problem when watching Two and a Half Men on Amazon. 
 

I am using 2 Sonos AMP with in-ceiling speakers set up as surround. 
 

The show plays in Dolby 2.0 and there is an echo when people are talking. It goes away if I switch off surround. It also goes away when playing the show on Apple TV which I have set up to upscale audio to Dolby 5.1. 
 

My tv is an LG GX. 
 

Any ideas?

Hi @Tejs Dyrvig Ernst 

It may be worth removing the surrounds Amp from the HDMI connected Amp, then adding them again.

This is done by selecting, in the Sonos app, Settings » System » [name of room] » Remove Surrounds.

You can then add the 2nd Amp again in the same app section.

If this doesn’t work, I recommend you get in touch with our technical support team, who have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your Sonos system - they can check that all your devices are connecting in the way they should be.

OK I understand. Although they are connected by Ethernet not 2.4. 

I can't really think of any logical reason why this should cause the particular problem you are having. The only way to check would be to experimentally do as I suggest and see if the problem goes away. Whether you think this is worth trying is up to you.

Thank you very much for the suggestions. Will experiment at but over the weekend and come back.
