I’ve been using a Beam (Gen 1) with One SL’s and a Sub for five years now. A Beam (Gen 2) would ad Atmos. For the last four years it’s being used with a 65” Samsung. Also using a Boost.

I have a LGG3 TV
When I switch my TV on in the mornings I don't get any sound unless I go into setting and select TV speaker .I don't always want to use my sound bar set up and if I then switch the soundbar on it the TV auto switches to it ,if I switch sound bar off it auto switches back to TV speaker .
I have a played around with setting but can't seem to get it to default to TV speaker after being powered off then back on, I think it's definitely a TV settings issue but just hoping some one has experience of this
Thanks for any help

If not tried already, maybe try disabling "TV autoplay" in the Sonos App soundbar room settings.

Thanks that seems to have fix the problem and the TV now defaults to TV sound when switched on ,however it has created a different problem ,now when the TV is on and switch the soundbar ,the TV switches over to the sound bar ,but the volume is zero every time and I then have to turn the sound bar up

Perhaps see if selecting the ‘TV icon’ in the Sonos App (at the bottom of the Browse/Music Services Tab) will resolve the issue for you. See screenshot attached.

Also if you use Alexa or Sonos Voice Control, you can restore TV sound with this voice instruction…

“Hey Sonos, switch to TV Mode on Living Room” … where the Living Room is the name of your Soundbar room in the Sonos App.

Or this, if using Alexa…

“Alexa, switch to TV Mode on Living Room"

So after some trial and error I have seen the following

With TV auto play on

As long as I switch off the soundbar and allow the sound to switch to TV speaker before switching the TV off,then the next time the TV is powered on the sound is automatically on the TV speaker .

With TV auto play the sound automatically is on the TV speaker ,and when I power the soundbar on the sound is always on zero and I have to turn the volume ,nothing I have done resolves this .

Perhaps contact/chat with the TV manufacturers support desk, or with Sonos Support Staff via this LINK and see what either can perhaps suggest to resolve the matter.
