Sonos music w/TV still playing?

Connected to a power receiver home theater system. Sonos can play through multiple rooms if that matters. Sonos is connected to my wifi I believe... Sorry this probably is helping and or I am wrong. I'm not home right now. But when I hit Sonos on the remote and it begins to play but when I change over to the cable side, it stops and the game now plays but no music.

There is a setting on the "room" that enables auto switch to the TV sound when detected. You can either turn that option off, or just switch it back to the music you were playing after you put the game on.

So, if your TV's input and sonos both run through your receiver, you need a receiver capable of "pass-through," or you can run a second input to your TV.

Alternatively, if your TV has any form of audio output that isn't HDMI, you can run that into your receiver and the video straight from that source into the TV.


It's a little hard for me to be more descript with that still. If you post model numbers of the receiver, TV, and at least name the source (hdmi from satellite, cable box, etc), I or someone can probably guide you with a little less vague explanation.


From what it sounds like and guessing based on typical home theatre trends, you have a receiver that won't pass hdmi from a source through to your TV when the analog connection from your Sonos is being output through your receiver. I could be wrong, though, but there should be several easy ways of fixing it, as cheap as in the $0-20 range.
