Issue with Grouping speakers from Beam (Gen2)

I don't get this one,. maybe someone can help me. I have a Beam (gen2) with Era 100s as surrounds and a sub mini. Beam is connected (Earc) to Sony TV. I also have a stereo pair of Ones in the same room. If I am listening to Music via Apple TV (playing through the beam setup of course) and I create the group of adding in the stereo set of Ones, it's terrible,. the Ones are stuttering etc on the signal from the Beam. If I do the reverse and Play music from either source (Beam or One's) on Sonos app and then group them together,. everything sounds perfect as it should.

Why is trying to group from the TV playing to the beam not working properly? Is it because the actual source of music is the TV being channeled into the beam? It doesn't make sense because when I play something via line-in on my stereo pair of 5s and group that with any other room it works perfectly.

Finally did it,..

have to say,. in some ways I love it, and thenn ,.. hmmmmm,. not so sure. Watching a Movie, Awesome! Listening to Music? Kind of mixed bag - If I listen to Music using Apple TV Apps, I get a pretty solid stereo and loud! ( I have spatial music turned off- cant stand it in most cases). If i use Sonos app to play music , of course, I get the surrounds involved. Sounds good , much lower on volume. Every so often there is a little 'blip' (very quick) where sound drops out, minor but kind of annoying when just sitting there and enjoying the music. Not sure about this whole thing yet. Doing more 'testing' today.

Quick question : In the app (top right corner) is the Trueplay controls and I turned it on after getting all speakers into the group. The Sonos app shows that Trueplay has not been performed on this 'room'. Is this normal?

Being that the monthly for premium in US is now $13 per month,. would the $99 e -card i can get on walmart still good for an annual subscription? Curious if anyone has done this lately.
