I learned today that when driven by a TV and watching a non-surround source, I cannot control the gain on the surround speakers.

It seems to me that when watching TV, say a music video, that the surround speakers should be carrying the normal stereo left and right signals, and I should be able to control the gain on those speakers.

For example, listening to a music video, I should be able to treat the Beam soundbar and the two surround speakers as four stereo speakers -two left and two right.

Anybody else?

Hello @PGrun, welcome to the Sonos Community!

If I understood correctly, you’d like a Music mode while watching music content on TV, please correct me if I’m wrong.

I’ve marked this thread as a feature request and forwarded it to the appropriate teams for consideration.

The thing is, while you are watching TV, the Sonos soundbars simply play whichever format they receive from the TV.

You can Change surround audio settings via the Sonos App, from Ambient to Full and experience a significant change to your surround speakers while initiating Music Playback.

I hope this helps.
