Help with irregular Beam/tv audio connection

Sonos Beam 1
Apple TV 4K gen 1
Toshiba 50” 4k C350
All devices up to date with software
Beam connected via hdmi (fresh cable swap)

Problem: sometimes when I turn everything on, there is no audio from the Sonos. The only fix I’ve found is to turn off Apple TV and Toshiba TV then turn it all back on again. Sometimes this works after 10 seconds, sometimes it takes a full 10 minutes and multiple on/off attempts for the audio to kick back on. When I hit the volume on the remote the Sonos light will react and blink. Sonos app always shows tv being connected. I rarely use the beam for music.

It is very inconsistant. Sometimes it happens 3-4 times a week sometimes goes months with no problems at all. It’s very irregular but when it happens it’s a huge pain in the ass.

I simply cannot figure out a work around or where the problem lies. I’ve posted this in both the Sonos group and tv group to cover all ground.

Any thoughts? I’ve swapped cables, done hard resets, all the classic bits. Running out of ideas.

IKEA digital family card changing to an app?

I was at IKEA today and while checking out I showed the cashier my digital family card which I keep in apple wallet on my phone. She scanned it and said that it was going away soon and that I needed to switch to the app before I lose all my points. I asked how to do that and she pointed me to the sign that has the look up your family card info. I took a picture of it so I could look into it later. Well I just did that and there is zero mention in the app about the digital card going away. It still has the button to click saying add the card to your Apple wallet. Who’s wrong here, me or her?

All the big trades really paid off.

Been thinking about this a lot since everyone was featured in these playoffs and it’s been a couple full seasons of separation now.

RJ, IQ, Grimes- as much as i loved all those guys you could see why it was a smart move. They’ve all come close to plateauing on their new teams. They’ve all earned much bigger roles and usage but aren’t putting up much better numbers than they did in NY.

Ironically Randle is putting up good numbers after stepping down in his role and losing usage.

I know fit is a huge factor but I’m really starting to see the vision the front office saw. We all had high hopes but I really dont think that team would’ve made it that far. I think they truly peaked that last season.

Anyway, I know it’s old news but watching Jules tonight and just seeing the “kids” go on a little run had me reminiscing.

Ultimately I think it’s a true testament to the talent and dedication of McBride and Robinson. The front office made all the right calls and it’s paying off big time.

Has ConEd bill matrix always charged a fee for paying with card?

*update, must of been a glitch. When I signed back in to give it another try the fee was gone.

Just noticed today, for what feels like the first time, a $3 and change fee to pay with card.

Has this always been the case? I swore it was no fee.

Poor service with new EN2251 router

Posted maybe a month or so back about spectrum sending me a new EN2251 router to replace my EU2251 router. Most of the replies were mocking me for asking if there’s any trouble with it.

WELL, ever since I swapped routers my service has tanked, especially the WiFi.

Have the tv and appletv hardwired and now I get a good 5-10 seconds of low quality buffering when starting up a movie or live tv before it catches up to full 1080. Websites are noticeably slower loading. The most bizarre is now the WiFi doesn’t reach my bedroom. I only live in a 450 sqft apartment. Never had that problem until I switched routers which is bizarre bc why would the router affect that?

My speed plan did not change.

iPod style music players that you can download live radio apps like NTS etc onto

I pretty much only use NTS, Radio Garden and Receiver these days.

I currently have the apps for all those running off an old iPhone 13 mini that connects to my Sonos via WiFi. The battery is completely shot, it has to stay plugged in 24/7. It acts like a mini media library/console.

Was wondering if there’s any iPod style devices out there that not only let you store/play mp3s but also allow you to download and run other live music apps like the ones i listed. Thanks!

Guy is the only sixer with a single ounce of self respect. The only one taking accountability and acting like a professional.

Idk how you go in front of the press, as an adult man, as a professional athlete, and bitch about foul calls when your team went to the line literally double the amount. Not to mention one of your own guys lead all players in FTA. These aren’t private stats. We all have access to them.

NY shot well UNDER the league average for free throws. Philly shot well OVER the average, yet every sixer in front of a mic is claiming otherwise. Except Maxey, so respect to him for being a real one.

Edit: 4 of the Knicks FTA were hack-a-Mitch! Lmao

Hope this is the right place!

Picked up one of these used in pretty good shape. Doesn’t need a full restoration but it is looking a little dull. Have seen these new and they usually have a nice little pop/shine to them.

What would be the best way to give this a little punch, more life. Just don’t want to eat into it as the “care instructions” on the page warn against household cleaners.

Thanks!

I live in a 3 room railroad style apt. Living room faces street with two windows, next is kitchen (middle room) with no windows and the back of the apt is bedroom with one window but I rarely open it because it goes out to the air shaft.

I have two ceiling fans. Curious if anyone has an opinion on which two rooms would have the best overall results. The apt as whole doesn’t have the best air flow. The air tends to get stale in the kitchen and bedroom more so the living room. I’m aware it would help if I open the bedroom window but the air in the shaft is filthy.

Would living room and bedroom be the best in this situation? Or would they be fighting themselves and leaving the kitchen in worst shape? Thanks.

Have been in the market looking for a couple months now for a used Prius and I’m noticing a strange trend among the stock out there.

Easily 3 out of 5 cars that I see have the same driver’s side rear end/corner/bumper damage. So much so that I came here to ask about it. Like full crunching, poorly repaired significant damage.

Is there a known blind side issue of some sort or is this just one of those wonky quirks of the universe due to the sheer number of Prius on the road? I’m laughing but genuinely wondering.

As they say, with great sacrifice comes great reward. I do truly believe they can go deep if he hands over the reigns to KAT and checks himself at the door. Would be a true sign of the true leader he is. That’s captain.

I was watching a little bit of Philly Boston game 3 and happened to catch a good Maxey quote. Paraphrasing here, “my job is to set the table for my team first, when it’s my time to take over, I do.”

That’s what we need from JB. He’s more than capable. When we see the flashes of him facilitating the balls flies. He has plenty of scoring around him with this team. Wasn’t always the case but this team can put the ball in the basket when given a chance. It also allows him to be more off ball which we’ve all see how much he excels in that.

This is how the season started out and they were balling. But if you also remember JB was putting up WAY less shots than usual. I rember red flagging that to myself, how long would he allow his numbers to “drop”. Eventually that stopped, and the problems began.

I tried asking this previously but only got a flood of scam DM requests so trying again.

Got a new phone after 10 years (iPhone 17) and now the app won’t let me turn security pin back on. When you go into the settings the toggle switch is greyed out and won’t turn on. Any ideas?
