Audio balance is weird

When I hear the narration / voiceover, it is mostly quiet and weird, like a background voice volume.

Looks like other people have this issue too?

I have a great setup, Sonos Beam Gen 2 + Sub Mini. LG OLED TV, Apple 4k box….

Never had this issue with anything else.

Alternatives to the completely useless Sonos beam (gen 2) and surround speakers

As the title says, what alternative brands can I buy where I don't have to worry about the damn useless app that says every other day that I have no products and the next day it works as it should?

I would like to be able to listen to streamed music, preferably from Spotify. I also want good sound

AW3225QF HDMI ARC stopped working with Sonos Beam Gen 2

Hi everyone,

I have an Alienware AW3225QF monitor connected via HDMI ARC to a Sonos Beam Gen 2. For months everything worked perfectly with both my PS5 and my Mac Mini — I was getting audio passthrough (even Atmos) from the monitor to the Beam.

Recently, after moving my setup, ARC completely stopp

Here's everything I know about this crazy audio bug I've been experiencing, including a video. Am I seriously the only one affected by this?

Edit: Well the second half of that title certainly feels silly now that plenty of other people have turned up with this bug. Given the severity of it, at the time, I expected to find something somewhere about it, newly released game or not.

I can't find anything, ANYWHERE about this bug. This would

tvOS 26.4 beta – Apple changed HDMI audio behavior? (Continuous Audio Connection + Sonos)

Continuous Audio on tvOS 26 beta: Avalaible on the first gen Apple TV 4K or not?

It sounds mudded. Both in my lg Sn8yg and Sonos beam gen 2 switching to Dolby 5.1 improves the quality a lot, maybe because the soundbar adds enhancement to Dolby and it doesn’t to lpcm

Problem with Soundbar and Nintendo Switch

Hi all,

I bought the Sony Bravia XR-65X90L (2023) a few weeks back and I have the Sonos Beam Gen 2 plugged into HDMI 3, eARC. This all works perfectly.

The problem starts when I plug my Nintendo Switch (1) into any HDMI port. Then the TV doesn’t recognise the Soundbar anymore and it switches to th
