Hi 

I don’t know if my issue is related to the 14.6 update but I noticed today that I had no sound from my surround (play 3) and my sub (Gen 2), only the Arc is working They are still present in the app under the my System view but now sound which every sources

When I reboot each of them, the sound comes back temporary, but when I switch to another source or audio format, thé Sound disappears again. Tried several times, same behavior

Thanks for your help

I got a good feeling 

So far so good. I’ve been switching between PS5 and Shield (tried both DTS and Dolby movies).

I think this is too good to be true. If this issue was known by Sonos (and they fixed in 14.8) why would their Engineering team be going through the motions with me and looking at the error? Surely they would just say it's going to be fixed in 14.8 and stop this thread from evolving. 

Sub and rears just stopped working in Blade Runner 2049.

Also, submit a diagnostic as well.  Ill try and reference tomorrow during my testing and discussion with the Engineer. Let me know the number @arcosin. Thank you.

@peterbault - have you got Amazon Prime? If you have, would you mind playing a few trailers (not the films themselves) and then flick back to a Dolby Atmos movies and see if still OK? 

any particular trailers?

Please understand, I am DEEPLY disappointed this did not work out thus far.

I was watching ‘The Contractor’ trailer in Amazon Prime a few times and found (on more cases than not after a few flicks) that this triggered the issue.

Sorry, when I say ‘flicks’ I mean moving between AP and back ti Apple and Dolby Atmos etc.

Interesting you ask for Prime Trailers. I was watching a few trailers on Prime a week ago and encountered the absolute worst audio I’d ever heard. When I figured out what was happening, the channel mapping was all wrong. All dialogue was coming out of the right rear surround. I watched the trailer a second time and it worked properly but when I left the app and moved to other content, the sub and rears had dropped. Only time I’ve seen that mapping problem occur

Very interesting @Freddy45764 - whilst I have been testing I seem to be able to trigger the issue (although it is not consistent) when I move between Prime (watch a trailer) and back to Apple TV or Netflix and it seems to occur. Again, not always the case, but a pattern of note for sure.

I'm gonna try to power cycle everything. Maybe I should've after the update.

Issue occurred before I even go to the trailer. Sigh

What did you do to get the issue @peterbault?  Interested in what you were doing when it triggered for comparison…….
