    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.

    Looks like I've got the same problem as Disco. How was that resolved ??

    White noise in the left Play 1 speaker. Very quiet (though better) sound in the right Play 1 speaker

    Have you checked to make sure no other wireless devices within about 10 ft. of the Play:1s (like a cordless phone).  I would call Sonos to look for interference issue if you can't find.

    To me that means the playbar isn't sending any surround info to the Play:1's for what you are watching. 
    Thanks for answering Chris. It says "Stereo". I tried it HBO and it's the same.

    So your TV isnt passing 5.1. What model is it?

    Do you get the white noise when playing anything, including music? Or only when playing TV audio?
