Sonos surround (rear speskers) volume difference (Era300’s)

Hi all, today I installed the Arc, sub mini and two era 300 speakers as rear speakers. I finish everything and while watching tv and listening to music from the tv, I realized the rear speaker is right centered, meaning it’s more louder than the left one, even when I do a surround test demo on YouTube. Can this be related to true play? Anyone else had this problem?

It’s probably just the acoustics of your room. Trueplay can fix some of that, but the imbalance will still exist to some extent.

Also, when using a YouTube video to test, check the Sonos app to see if it is actually playing in 5.1 audio. Most YouTube videos are only in stereo even when they claim to be in 5.1 or Atmos.
