excuse the typo in the subject...can’t seem to edit it...but you know what I meant to write! 

I’ve had a Sonos Beam for ages working happily on 2 Samsung TVs. I’ve recently got a new LG CX. Sound was fine for one week (connected through ARC) but yesterday morning I got up and the sound is no longer working from the tv. Sound when played through the S2 app is fine so it’s purely a tv connection issue. Tried new HDMI cable, tried unplugging and plugging in again. Factory reset as well but no change. Every time I try and connect to the tv through the app it fails saying the ARC isn’t available. 
 

on the tv this sort of symbol comes up when I switch to HDMI ARC.  🚫

 

hope someone can help..

Hi there

 

thanks. The number is 1518873673. The only thing that is confusing me now is that the beam isn’t asking to connect to the tv within the app where before there was something come up saying “let’s connect your Beam to the tv” or similar to that. Nothing has changed though...it still won’t connect to the tv 

 

regards

Chris 

 

 

Hi @afcchris, thanks for the update and for sending a diagnostic report of your Sonos system, upon checking the diagnostic information, it shows that it’s not detecting the Arc connection for the Arc port on your TV. Kindly try to unplug it from both ends on the Tv and the Sonos Beam unplug it for 1-2 minutes. And unplug the TV and the Sonos Beam for 1-2 minutes from the power source. If that’s done and it’s still not working. We’ll take this further.

Please, feel free to let me know if you require any further information.

Hi Simon

 

The issue has been fixed. LG helped identity that it was a sound format issue. They switched from auto to Dolby Digital plus and it started working. Then went  back to auto and it’s still fine. It wasn’t the solution I was expecting but glad its fixed. Thanks for your help.
