View originalNo sound on certain channels after system update today.
Userlevel 3
Hi, I received an app update today which also updated all the speakers software to v7.4 build 37244160. Since the update certain channels from my Sky HD box, such as Sky News & ITV4 take 60 secs+ for the sound to start. Other channels, BBC1 for example, the sound is present as soon as you switch to the channel. Nothing else has been changed in the setup. Any ideas before I start pulling leads. At the moment the playbar gets its optical from the TV, which has an HDMI source from the Sky box.

I'm a bot skeptical that of all the Playbars out there, this is only affecting 500 people. I guess I won the wrong kind of lottery...
I also get the clicking from the surrounds, and the app says the Playbar is receiving "silence". I've spent the last week saying horrible things to my AppleTV, only to find out it was a Sonos issue! The Playbar does still seem to play perfectly from my Xbox One. Must be some difference in how the AppleTV and X1 output the 5.1 signal.
Seen this article posted and tweeted. Sonos saying it only impacts 500 people.

You get the feeling this is not a priority issue for them and we might be left without 5.1 sound for a long time. Given how much stock they place in supporting older devices this is disappointing. For those of us who have invested in Sonos throughout the home to be left with a device that doesn't function as promised is disappointing. I've have to switch to PCM as the random nature of the sound kicking in isn't something I can live with. So I'm left with 2 Play:1's and a Sub which are now expensive paper weights.

Ok, daniboy80 and jmbarbs, go ahead and check for updates, you should have one available.
Thanks for the quick reply Ryan. It's now working fine again.:D
It all worked perfectly for me for over 2 years. I would rather lose functionality and roll back to the last working version. Is this possible?
Unfortunately not.
Worked like a charm, thank you!
When is the update being pushed, nearly 3 weeks now...
Same issue as everyone else. Updated to 7.4 and now cannot get sound to smart tv apps such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, etc. diagnostic 7769751. LG OLED tv with optical cable.
I think you need to send an email to all the sonos users and advise them of this problem. I have been thinking for days it was my TV and had a repair guy come only to tell me it was the sonos. Samsung may be sending you a bill.
Initial tests looks like it’s working. Thank you!
I have the same issue. Please add me to beta, it's driving me crazy!

Glad I found this thread, please add me to BETA to get rid of this problem

Whilst on this subject, any news on dolby digital plus support? Sky Q now supports dolby atmos over dolby digital plus which the optical connection should be able to support via 2017 LG OLED'S at least.
I love my SONOS setup mostly but starting to feel it's getting a bit left behind.
Thanks
Hi mark@scan,
You should have an update available now in your Sonos app. Please try running the update then test things out.
I'll send along a feature request to add support for Dolby Digital Plus.
I have clicking and delay when running to shows with Dolby digital selected on my tv sound setup. Is connected to the play bar via optical and the tv is Samsung. If I swap to pcm the problem disappears, however it was all working before I installed the update. Diagnosis is 7837518. it's upsetting to be fair as the system has been great up until now.

Tejs Dyrvig Ernst, Ben Austin and goldsmid, you're all flagged for the update now.

Samsung TV like many experiencing dropouts/popping noise on various sky TV channels. On some it takes a few seconds to come through and on others it never resolves.
Whatever improvements were made in the last update are minor compared to this problem. Is it impossible to release a temporary retrograde option to restore systems to the previous version until a solution has been found?

Oh man, this is super disappointing. When I raised this in July they said they had never seen it before. This stings.
Support's inability to triage this issue is incredible. 9 pages in and I'd bet they're still pushing the 7.4 update.

Thanks Mark. That sounds like a signal issue on the 5GHz or some data trouble. I'd recommend giving us a call on our support line to troubleshoot it. It isn't the same thing we're working with here.
You've been added to the beta now, go ahead and update, you'll be all set after.
You're all set now too. We are testing out the fix for this issue right now and wanted to get it people's hands as soon as possible, which is why we're offering to join in the beta this way. We're still testing things out internally, but we're confident enough to make it request based. We'll be pushing it out to everyone soon, but we just need to make sure everything is going to be ok before hand. Go ahead and update, you should be all set after.

Ok, as of right now, everyone who's posted in here up to this point should be all set to update and get this update. Sorry for the delayed post, I wanted to make sure I was all caught up.
We're doing these all manually while a proper release that'll go out to everyone is prepared. That isn't quite ready to go yet, so for now, manual it is.
@chrisredmayne if you want to send a diagnostic I'll get you all squared away.

targo98 can you submit another diagnostic right after you hear audio drops and then post the number here?
Thanks Andy! You're a life saver. Thanks for the prompt and efficient service recovery too. 🙂
