The newly acquired Beam is up and running and sounding brilliant. Blue ray,radio,NAS all connected and working fine. The one exception is the freesat box.
I can only get the HD channels to deliver sound- all others are mute. The beam control app shows Dolby digital when an HD channel is on but "Silence" when on the others.
It would appear that the Humax software is not capable of delivering sound.I have contacted Humax "support" who suggested changing output from multichannel to stereo
but I had already tried that and it doesn't work. Anybody out there using Sonos and Humax freesat got any ideas or any techies know a fix.. TV is set to bitstream output.

Well I sorted it out by accident on Saturday and the solution is partly the same as Newlash09 talks about in this thread
which I only saw after the accident.
Put the freesat box at max volume and it just starts to pick up the SD channel sound ,then increase the volume on the Sonos app.Done.Now shows as pcm stereo on the control app.
If anyone is interested that is.
