Golf Channel Announcers Not Audible

This is a recent issue.  We have a Playbar connected to an older Sony XBR-65850C via optical out.  We also have a Sub and two Play1s configured for surround sound. When watching tournaments on the Golf Channel, we cannot hear the announcers.  We can hear background noise - fans, players talking, etc. - through the Playbar.  I feel like this used to come through the Play1s. 

Commercial audio is fine. Tournament audio on network channels like CBS and NBC are fine.  If we cast from mobile app or laptop to the Sony, the audio is fine.

Ideas?

Second audio channels would also be in stereo, as @106rallye is alluding to, which makes the ‘center’ channel much less prevalent. I would concur that either the Golf channel is sending only a stereo signal, or the settings have been reset on the TV….although if NBC and CBS are fine, it really points the finger squarely on the Golf channel. If it were an issue with Sonos, all channels would be impacted.

You absolutely should see ‘Audio in’ on that page I suggested you look at.
