Hello, first of all I would like to say sorry for my poor english skill… I will try my best to let You understand me..
I just bought Sonos Beam (gen 2) and have some problems with sound quality.
My setup:
- Sonos Beam gen 2
- 2 x Sonos Symfonisk (bookshelf) (atm. unpaired)
- TV: Panasonic TX-50CX680E (without eARC / but with “normal” ARC)
- Chromecast 4.0 (google tv)
So…
When Im using apps FROM tv system (Netflix-Panasonic) everything seems to be ok (i got “dolby” at Sonos App)
When Im using Panasonic player (movies from USB stick) everything seems to be ok too (i got “dolby” at Sonos App)
BUT
when I’m using same movies from chromecast ( Netflix-Chromecast) i got only stereo pcm
I heard that there are problems with chromecast and Sonos but my question is how to fix it?
I can change Chromecast to newest Apple TV 4k but will it fix this problem ? (i wouldnt like to spend money just for nothing… )
Thanks for your answers :)

Ps. I did try to use my MacBook pro (lat 2017) → USB C / HDMI cable → Panasonic TV and this setup is not working too (only PCM stereo)
