I have the exact situation. I have done the appropriate steps as you requested above. Even though it was "on" I turned it up. However, absolutely zero sound is coming from them when I am watching television. Please advise.

Done all the steps and still no sound from the Sub and play3 speakers. Only Playbar works. Disconnected and then reconnected the Bridge, Sub, Playbar and Play3 speakers. Essentially reinstalled the entire system. Also tried all 3 channels. Still the same problem. Have spent the entire weekend trying to figure out. Very frustrated. Planning on returning the product tomorrow if no solution is given.
My confirmation number is: 3309892.

I too have the same problem. After following your instructions, the problem remains. Surround sound works fine on all sources except tv when there is no sound at all coming from my two play3's.
