I have a beam and two play speakers .  1st Generation.

The beam plays TV audio just fine.

The Beam and the two speakers will play music, just fine.

If the Play:1 speakers are set up as surrounds with the Beam, then you need to play a 5.1 audio source from the TV.

What model TV do you have? What streaming apps do you use?

Set the Digital Output Audio Format setting on the TV to Dolby Digital. Try to play a 5.1 audio source from a streaming app like Netflix, Disney+, or Prime Video.
