Hi glances. I'm happy to pass along a request to the team for you so they know there's still interest in this sort of unconventional setup. Since the topic was first posted, there is one way to get this full stereo working for some systems. If you're playing your TV source from something capable of AirPlay 2, to a Sonos Beam or Playbase, you can instead use AirPlay 2 to send the audio to your Beam/Playbase and the rest of the speakers in that room.

AirPlay 2 signals are played as music and not TV content, so if you have the surround settings to play full audio with music, it'll give you the surround stereo.

      Hi Ryan,
      I really need this feature.
      Do you have any news?
      Thank you.

      I would not call it: "sort of unconventional setup" .
      this setup is supported by any home theater setup in the market.
      only Sonos does not support it.
      Thank you for your time

        Would you be so kind as to post which systems you know of that support this kind of feature? I'm looking for some speakers for my hard of hearing father.

        Hey @camillo777, I don't have any news on the request to share. The AirPlay 2 option is still they only way to accomplish this.
