Not satisfied with the Era 100s as a surround setup.

I have a Beam Gen 2, Sub Mini, and two Era 100s as a surround sound system. Unfortunately, the Era 100s are not working properly, and the sound is too quiet even at maximum volume. They are not noticeable at all. I am quite disappointed. The Era 100 sound is strong, but not as surround sound. I am unsure how to fix that, or if the Sonos team can fix the issue. From my perspective, the Era 100 sound is fantastic and more than enough for surrounds if they perform properly when assigned to the room.

TV surround or Streaming Surround mode?

Have you adjusted the Surround volume in either/both modes?

​@Ken_Griffiths Definitely I can feel the difference with the 6 Underground movie. Thanks for the support  🙏

When watching that movie, just ensure that you are seeing “Dolby 5.1” audio input on the ‘Now Playing’ screen in the App, rather than “PCM 2.0” stereo audio, and that will at least show that all is working correctly.👍
