Surround Sound with Connect:Amp no longer working

I currently have a SONOS Playbar hooked up to my tv and have two built in ceiling speakers that are connected to my SONOS Connect:Amp which is hardwired into my router. I recently noticed that the two ceiling speakers stop playing sounds or music when ever a movie was playing or I had music playing on the Playbar. I tried doing a retune and it always said speakers were missing. I just updated all speakers and app to try and fix the problem. Nothing worked, so I decided to factory reset my Connect:Amp and reset it up as it's own device. Once I did that, I could play music through the speakers so I knew they were still working. I then went to the website: http://######:1400/wiredsat.htm and replaced the # with my Playbars IP code to set up the surround sound. I then selected the Conncet:Amp to set up as my Left and Right surround sound speakers and set their distance away from the tv. Hit complete and was notified that I was all set up. I then went back to the app and retuned the speakers for the new surround sound, and was notifed that "speakers where missing" yet again. I've redone this 3 times with the same result. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Are both your PLAYBAR / PLAYBASE and the CONNECT:AMP wired to the same router?

Well, then, I suspect that diagnostic will need to be looked at. It was only a potential that needed to be addressed, since you indicated 2 separate devices.

Hi elsn0008,

Your PLAYBAR is showing a stereo signal coming from the optical cable. Can you check your TV's audio output settings to make sure it's sending out a surround signal?

If you go into sonos app. settings... room settings for playbar...advanced audio. Set mode to Full (not ambient) for surrounds. When play sonos music do you get full stereo sound out of the ceiling speakers?

I assume you have tried rebooting the connect:amp and router.
