Snoring with Full Face Mask

My husband recently got his cpap and has a full face mask. It worked great for the first 2 weeks, but now he's snoring lightly when he's on his back and he's experiencing a little daytime sleepiness again. He asked the technician, and they said you could still snore with the cpap-and didn't offer any suggestions. He just now ordered a chin-strap because they recommended it during his sleep study. Could the problem be the mask is too loose and leaking? He doesn't have any markings on his face from it. Has anyone had success with the chinstrap on a full-face mask in this situation?

Thanks.
