era 300’s not using rear channels.

 

Please read/watch this Reddit post about rear speakers not working as intended. Height channels are being used instead. I tested my self on movies and the test tone - the rears are being repurposed for height channels for whatever reason - seems to be a bug. Need Sonos to fix.

Please test and confirm yourselves so we have more confirmation from the community

I’m having the same issue.  Yes the front facing speaker is and always has been disabled.

What’s happening here is that the inside speaker of the e300s on both sides (rears) and rear height speaker seem to be behaving the same and not firing independently. When you play atmos rear channels from test files (I’ve used Nvidia Shield TV Pro and AppleTV 4K) it just plays through the rear height channels instead.

Outside speakers (side surrounds) both working just fine.
