When playing DTS audio from my OPPO 203 BluRay , I get multi PCM 7.1 but then the vocal sound is outputted at the rear speakers. It wasn't like that prior to the recent update. Anyone can help ?

Confirmed. I have the same problem on my brand new A90J.

Hopefully their correspondence with FlatpanelHd was not a canned response, and is indeed something they plan on fixing soon. I worry, as they have seemingly dropped the ball recently on promised/working features.

I have the same problem - Sony A80J Bravia TV. When the audio format is LPCM 5.1 (per the Sonos App), the audio that should go to the center channel plays out of the left surround. As pointed out earlier on this thread, it only happens when eARC is enabled. The bummer is that I’d really like to enable eARC, because that’s how I get Dolby *Vision* (in my case from the new Apple TV 4K). I also verified the problem with two sources (the Apple TV, and a Blu-ray player that converts DTS to multi-channel LPCM) so figured it had to be either the Sonos or the TV. Based on this thread, seems like it’s the TV. Really hope Sony fixes it soon :-( Also wish I’d found this thread before beating my head on the wall for several hours, but at least it makes sense now :-)

GOOD NEWS to everyone, today Sony released a new firmware and it fixed all the LPCM problem that I had the last past months, sound is outputting at the correct channels when movies playing in LPCM.

Everyone please give it a try!

Good news, is this issue on LG as well?

Perhaps LG can get there act together and release some fixes, I thought this was a Sonos issue though?

Just confirming the good news that Paul shared. Applied the update to my TV (Sony A80J) today, and it’s all working now. Thank you Sony!

Glad to hear! Which Firmware Version fixed the problem? I can only find v6.3628, which is dated to March 2021. Strangely, my A80J came with factory default v6.3640 in EU, which has the same issue.

My LG had a firmware update available, but no luck. Latest update did not fix the issue.
