Sonos Beam is not playing audio from my Sony BluRay player.

My Sonos Beam is connected to my Sony Bravia TV Via the HDMI arc and I connected my  Sony Blu Ray player via HDMI1 on my TV but the audio only plays the TV Speaker and not from Beam.

Is the Sonos connected to the port labeled ARC? What kind of signal is the Blu-ray player sending to the TV?

Yes it is via HDMI 3/ARC and Blu Ray is also connected to Sony TV with HDMI 1

Could you answer the second question, please? Is the controller’s ’now playing’ screen showing anything?

Have you rebooted both the TV and Beam? Have you submitted a system diagnostic within 10 minutes of experiencing this problem, and called Sonos Support to discuss it?

There may be information included in the diagnostic that will help Sonos pinpoint the issue and help you find a solution.

When you speak directly to the phone folks, they have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your network and Sonos system.
