Ya know how we have the option for full stereo or ambient when listening to music in a full 5.1 sonos stet-up? Can we get that with TV output as well, please? There is still plenty of content that is stereo output on many internet streams and traditional media. Having full stereo helps create an enveloping sound field when outputted via the playbar and the surrounds.

Hello Sonos, it's me again, and again and again ...

Just a reminder in case you change your mind and take care of your basic customers needs ... STEREO ... you know that system from the 30's (past century) ...

Good bye sonos I'm busy finding another solution ... and telling everyone not ti buy your 1000$ system 🙂

Dear Sonos. Please may we have this feature. Some kind of acknowledgement of the request would be nice also.
thanks.

Me too but mainly when watching or listening to music channels on TV or music based smart TV content. There should be a 'music' button between 'speech enhancement' and 'night mode' that uses the 'full' or 'ambient' setting of the app

YES! I would like to have a full stereo option when watching TV audio!

Sonos should focus a lot more on cutomer dialogue.

Just added rear speakers - Im so disappointed... :(

Many TV-channels in Denmark have reverted to only send in 2.0 - so without this feature, Sonos as Surround is really pretty useless in Denmark.

Are there any downsides to using the Neat box type solution other than added wiring/complexity?

I presume the wiring arrangement is; connect ATV4 via hdmi to Neat box ( or similar ) then connect Neat box to tv with hdmi and then Neat box to playbar with optical tos cable?

I want to use atv with a second tv that wont pass through 5.1

Please consider this in the next update of the software. I would like to use my surrounds on a full playback mode with music for any source.
