I have my Gaming PC plugged in to my TV using a AudioQuest Pearl 48 HDMI, which my Sonos Beam 2 is plugged in to via eARC HDMI port. I can play games with the sound coming through my Beam 2 for about an hour then the audio quality starts to drop in quality and distort like it’s playing through a cheap toy speaker, before dropping completely and being reduced to bassy crackles.

When pausing my game the audio comes back for a period of time, although still not great before having the same issue. Quickest fix is turning my Beam 2 off and on again at the plug, but this doesn’t seem great fix to me.

All devices are wired in to my network and not using Wifi. I haven’t had this problem watching content on my tv… yet. So guessing it is something to do with my PC?

Have you tried using a different HDMI cable from the PC to the TV? Or connecting the PC to a different HDMI port on the TV? You might also try disabling eARC in the TV settings.
