Why Doesn't My Sonos Soundbar Automatically Return to TV Audio After Playing Music?

Some of our clients enjoy listening to music through their Sonos soundbar while watching TV with the sound turned off. But when they're ready to return to TV audio, they discover that simply stopping the music doesn't automatically switch the soundbar back to the TV.

Why does this happen?

When we install a Sonos soundbar, we set it up to automatically switch to TV audio when the television is turned on. This means you normally don't need to open the Sonos app to hear your TV.

However, if your TV is already on while you're listening to music, stopping the music won't automatically switch the soundbar back to TV audio. That's because the TV is already playing, so there's no new signal to trigger the soundbar to switch.

What's the solution?

It's simple! Open your Sonos app, select the room with your soundbar, and tap TV Audio. Your soundbar will immediately switch from music back to your TV sound.
