I have a similar problem wit the PLAY-1's in surround setting (added to playbar and sub) :
Initially after installation the surround-sound is very dimmed in the default setting.
When I increase the sound of the surround PLAY-1's to almost the maximum then its volume is acceptable and it seems a surround sound.
BUT it swiftly dims and increases in volume. Especially on low volumes it is very annoying to listen to: This quickly dimming and incrementing of volume results in a terrible sound when I listen to music. The modulating volume ONLY appears when I listen to the television connected (via the optical interface - Samsung UE40F6750, PCM connected. Note: it really seems to be a surround sound though).
What can I do to get on the Sonos-1 surroundboxes
1. better default volume (allowing higher volumes on the surround speakers) and
2. get a normal non-muffled non-modulating sound on the Play-1's ?
Thanks in advance!

I have a Cisco Explorer 8742HDC cable box with Time Warner Cable (TWC) ... I tried different audio settings on the box, researched on TWC site and tried connecting it directly to Sonos playbar with the digital optical audio cable and the surround sound on the play3's works fine. My Apple TV and Samsung blue ray work fine with HDMI to the tv and optical audio cable from the tv to the playbar. With the cable box, I do not get 5.1 sound when I connect the cable box to the tv with HDMI and the tv to Sonos with digital optical audio.
