I use an Android box to stream all my tv content (LG SmartTV). It is an HDMI connection from box to TV. I now have a Beam which is connected to the TV using HDMI-ARC.
Problem: I have no audio when watching streamed shows from the box unless I switch the audio back to TV speakers. Help? I feel like I’m missing something basic...

Thanks for your reply. It’s all good now. I hadn’t set the external speaker/HDMI to PCM. Sometimes it’s the silliest things 😉

Have you looked at the audio settings in you Android box? What kind of audio is it sending to the TV? Then take a look at what your TV is sending to the Beam in the TV’s audio settings.
