Low output on Beam

I have just setup the Sonos Beam and am very disappointed with the output from the TV. Volume has to be set 5 times higher than normal but Alexa and Google are nice and loud. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Hi @Divebunnie 

SPDIF is optical, or can be. Does it have co-axial digital instead?

If you have any other device in your home that has an optical socket on it, please try with that - I wouldn’t want you to spend money just to perform a test. It might be best to get in touch with our technical support team, who have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your Sonos system.

Hi Corry,

Connected to the freesat box and the sound is great so it is the TV.

It must be in the settings somewhere, I have tried everything I can using the user guide and even received advice from Panasonic but no good.

Thank you for your help. 👍
