Thats for the pointer - you are correct it is the different audio streams MPEG and Ac3 I checked the audio streams - it is the same when I use the HUMAX 4tune. I now just need to work out what is the best solution for me.

If I connect the Sonos with the toslink directly to the MP PC (would that make a difference - I can try it and find out) then I have to manually use software to "turn it on". I can set it to turn on when it senses Audio from the PC but that also means when it switches on to record. But if I turn off the TV in MP then maybe I can use that setting.
Connecting to the PC means that if I use the TV - rarely happens - then could either use the TV speakers or the input to the Sonos Amp from the TV RCA connectors - again manual switch on.... via an app or PC and the same for volume control - it is a pity that the logitech remote can only be programmed for volume and nothing more and then only for the playbar.

I can see some fiddling coming on.

I will have to do some reading on how to do that - more fiddling....
