    Thanks for getting back. It looks like you are experiencing some wireless interference. Let's try a few troubleshooting steps to help you out.
    1. Change your wireless channel to channel 1
    2. Check the Play:1 that is acting as the right rear. Is there anything around it that might be interfering with the wireless antenna? 
    3. Unplug the ethernet cable that goes into the BRIDGE and replug into the ethernet port.
    After these steps, if you are still experiencing dropping, please submit another diagnostic and reply here with the new confirmation number. 
    Thanks so much, Lesli

    I'm having the same issue. My Soundbar works w/ /TV and music. The  Play:1's work when there is music, but no sound with TV. I've adjusted the surround volume and still nothing. I have a different  Play:1 in another room connected to my router. I've set the Sonos network channel as suggested.  Here is the Diagnostic number: 4409410

    Same problem here. Bought 2 Play 1's and a Bridge today. I already had the Play Bar.
    All has been connected following the instructions. Sound of TV (Bar) goes up and down when I press the volume buttons on both Play 1's. There is just no sound coming out of them.
