I’m reasonably new to Sonos products…
I have had a Sonos Arc for about a week. It’s connected via HDMI to my LG OLED TV. Settings on the TV are to use eARC, passthrough and Dolby Digital Plus codec.
Yesterday I recevied x2 Era 300s that I want to use a rear surround speakers. I’ve added these to the Arc home cinema system
Have tried Dolby Atmos sound by watching something on Netflix. Sound is definitely coming from the Era 300’s. It’s a little quiet but think I can change that in the app. in the app the Arc Home Theatre set-up also shows its receiving a Dolby Atmos signal.
Moving onto non-Atmos; I’ve tried a few different videos using 5:1 surround sound. Not a peep is coming from the Era 300;s. I’ve checked the app and can see the Arc is receiving a 5:1 signal but only seems to be playing this via the Arc and not using the Era 300s.
I have no idea where I’m going wrong!
In an ideal world I’d also be able to use the Era 300s to output audio when playing 2:0 or PCM content but wouldnt want to lose the Atmos or 5:1 ability in doing this
