Check HDMI-CEC Settings:
Ensure that HDMI-CEC (Anynet+ on Samsung TVs) is enabled on your TV and compatible devices. This setting helps devices communicate better.
Adjust Audio Settings:
On your Telus Optik box, go to Settings > Audio > Audio Output and ensure it’s set to Stereo or Dolby Digital, depending on what your Sonos Beam supports.
Change HDMI Ports:
Connect the Telus Optik box to a different HDMI port on your TV (not the ARC port). The ARC port should be reserved for the Sonos Beam.
Test with Different Cables:
Ensure all HDMI cables are high-speed and firmly connected. Faulty cables can sometimes cause communication issues.
Power Cycle All Devices:
- Turn off the TV, Optik box, and Sonos Beam.
- Unplug them from the power source for a few minutes.
- Reconnect and power them on.

I have same issue. Tv and Sonos sound bar work fine, incl surround sound through ARC hdmi. As soon as I plug the optik TV in any of the other HDMI, the sound volume drops. Need to pump volume on tv to 90% to hear.
