I have the exact same issue. Just bought and setup the TV speakers as rear channels with the Soundbar and Sub, and am extremely disappointed. I can barely hear them at all when playing something with a 5.1 soundtrack. Standing with my ear 6 inches from the speaker and 15-20ft from the soundbar, the sound from the soundbar is still far louder than the sound from the TV speaker. Without an option to boost the sound from the rear speakers relative to the front channels they are practically inaudible.
Went with Roku for my basement setup since it was half the price of the Sonos setup I have elsewhere in the house. Sound quality from the soundbar and sub is great, but I'm with near-silent rears I'm getting about half the sound :( I hope this can be fixed soon.
