My Sonos Beam is not showing any info in about your system → audio in when watching a movie,

The Beam is playing audio without any problems but I can’t verify what actually gets passed from my TV to the Beam any more.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks a bunch in advance.

The Sonos app no longer populates the Audio In with data since the updated app last year.

You can see what audio format is being played swiping up the room view and selecting the TV room.

Thank you for the quick reply. Unfortunately, I can‘t select the TV Room so that it is showing what it‘s playing. Only the last played source (in my case Spotify) is shown

Is the Beam showing in the app or have you created multiple Sonos systems?

If the Beam is showing in the app, you just have to view the Now Playing screen for the Beam when TV audio is being played.

Place a finger on the Spotify section and slowly slide it to the top of your screen. Also sometimes helps to switch the controller to portrait mode.
