Comfortable listening on the TV becomes way to loud when switching over to music. Have to remember to turn down the volume when switching over. Is there any way to adjust this so the volume is the same for both.

View originalSame here, with samsung tv via optical connection. There is a level adjustment option between TV and music in a 5.1 configuration, but its only for the surround speakers, not the playbar. Spent fewthousands on new Sonos gear and then that? When will there be a solutiion for this?
Same issue here, new Sonos Beam and LG OLED C9.
this is really frustrating, to the extend that I will have to return the Beam. Real shame, really like it otherwise, but after watching movie in the evening, the following morning anyone playing music by accident on high volume wakes everyone up :/
SONOS this isn’t a new issue. We first purchased a Playbar with a new Samsung around 2016 and was quite shocked to find that when watching TV we had to turn the system volume up to half to ¾ on the controller just to begin to be able to hear. We then purchased a new Samsung TV for another room in 2019 and purchased a Beam at the same time and found that nothing had been corrected with this issue. And with the fact that these smart TV’s have apps (Amazon Prime, Apple TV, etc) that we use irrespective of any cable provider’s receiver box, you can’t ‘fix’ this by moving the optical output line to the receiver because those apps run solely through the TV. So I agree that there either needs to be an automatic override when the SONOS detects that it is playing sound from a TV or we need an ability to somehow control this. It’s over 5 years now.
Has anyone found a solution? I own a play bar and it works seamlessly when going back and forth from the tv. It is so annoying to switch the music on and have it blaring out of the Beam. I am using the IR adaptor is that the problem? Help Sonos?
Beyond frustration.
After purchasing the Arc on day of UK launch & now adding the Sub3 in Nov. I was! Very happy to join the Sonos family.
Now after losing TV volume output to a level that is really not acceptable in comparison to all other outputs ie. Spotify, Prime, Netflix, Alexa etc and I have tried all the various recommendations, ie. various cables HDMI & Power cables out back in, all volume settings through app or TV (Samsung KS7000) changed & nothing has improved.
Please help my patience are lost! With my £1500 investment!

Hi folks,
We don't have any updates to share on this feature. Keep an eye out on release notes when updates come out for a list of changes. I'll add your voices to the feature request.
What happened? 1 year passed
I join the discussion to add a voice. I own a beam and several other products and it's really annoying to have to shift the volume bar to the extreme right each time we use the TV and then not forget to shift it back to the extreme left if we don't want the neighbours to complain.
Thank you for considering our request.
Count me in as an user that would like this feature (or bugfix..) immensely.
Using a voice assistent (by choice or accidental voice activation) and playing every music source shakes me to the code after viewing TV. This doesn’t reflect the quality and pleasant ecosystem Sonos is known for.
Just to add to the previous comments - we too have the same problem when switching to playing music (Spotify) via Sonos play base, sky TV and one of the “apps” now available via Sky eg All4, Amazon etc. Why is there not a simple fix from Sonos? Looking at the posts here it’s been over 2 years since it was raised. Some simple instructions to sort it would be helpful?
same problem here, a new Samsung Qled and a Beam. Sound is great but need really to crack up de volume when using TV. And than… when switching to audio, all hell breaks lose due to the very high volume . Realy need a fix, if not :could be returning my sonos setup.
