Sonos Play Bar SETTING Everyone needs to check...

[@thejose24]

I just saw this. Wow. 1 year later!! For me I had to update my Apple TV’s output to Dolby and not auto. Finally saw 5.1! Thanks!

I had my audio settings unknowingly on PCM, and thought the Sonos sounded amazing. I had forgotten that you have to change the setting to Dolby Digital to get the 5.1 surround sound. Talk about a big difference, the surrounds kicked in like never before. I think many Sonos users don’t know that you have to change your audio setting on your TV.

Thanks for the vid, I always though Sonos done this automatically, Iv had my Playbar 4 months lol, it’s like I have a new system again, good find buddy.

[@stevegrewalsg]

Did you guys switch to from pcm to Dolby digital or Bitstream like he said in the video ?

[@dancasur]

I was watching tv wo being able to hear w Dolby Digital 5.0 for years now I do thanks for the tip.

I have one Playbar with a Sony smart TV, when I get into the option of audio output, it gives me the option of selecting PCM and Automatic, so Automatic is the same as Bitstream on your Vizio TV?

[@Bradsmytube]

Try automatic and confirm it’s 5.1 through the Sonos app.

Thanks! This is insane! Thanks for finding this and sharing it!

I don’t have bitstream option on my samsung 7179 i don’t know why???

[@darrickiam]

Glad you post this, I have the same setup

[@acewelding]

Have you got a sub and rear speakers?

[@Bradsmytube]

acewelding I do. The sub is very good, Very Clean tight bass

[@foxkenji]

My tv has no such PCM nor bitstream settings anywhere. I have a Sonos Beam with HDMI, no optical connection.

[@Bradsmytube]

I have a Beam also. What does your Sonos app say its outputting, it might already be 5.1 ...

[@KMDN__]

This made all the difference

[@TheScorpiO411]

Omg ! Having the 5.1 over a year not using the 5.1 😥 what a difference
