I just bought Sonos Amp and Beam. I want to connect them with Apple TV 4K and Sony projector (VPL-HW65). The projector has just HDMI in, no HDMI ARC, no optical out. I have two passive rear speakers, and external subwoofer (Arendal).
I set Sonos Beam with Sonos Amp as surround.
1) Sonos Amp works just fine as standalone room. I can hear both passive speakers as well as connected subwoofer (Arendal). But I can't hear subwoofer if I pair Sonos Amp as a surround together with Beam.
Can I use external third-party subwoofer connected to Sonos Amp in 5.1 setup?
2) I'm sending sound from Apple TV 4K throught Airplay2 to Sonos (Beam+Amp(+LS+RS)). I tried default Apple TV > Settings > Video and Audio > Audio Format, then Dolby Digital 5.1. None of the options work, it plays only stereo to all speakers.
Is it possible to play 5.1 sound from Apple TV with Airplay2?
