No Dolby Digital when connected to LG 65C1

Hi all,

I just changed my old LG Led55UF8507 with a brand new LG Oled 65C1 and with great surprise I cannot get Dolby Digital from my Sonos Home Theater system anymore!

I have a Playbar (connected to the TV via optical) + 2 Play1 + Sub

Basically I replicated exactly the same connection that I had on my old TV:

  • HDMI1 port: SKY set top box
  • HDMI2 (ARC): Apple TV 4K

Already checked on every device I have Dolby Digital as selected audio (same as on TV)

For every source the only audio output I get from Sonos is “Stereo PCM”

Think I tried everything so I hope you have any advice to solve this issue

Thanks

Best regards

Chris

    Try these TV settings:

    DTV Audio Setting: Auto

    Digital Sound Out: Pass through

    eARC: Off


    Is there an HDMI Audio Input setting?

    Can you post your exact current TV audio settings?

    Hi,

    TV audio settings are the following:

    • Audio Output -- > Optical Out
    • Advanced:
      • Audio DTV settings -→ Dolby Digital

    Also tried to uncheck “Dolby Atmos” option but did’t help

    Thanks

    You made it, GuitarSuperstar!

    I couldn't find those options when “Optical Out” was selected, so I had to change it back to “TV Speaker” to set Pass Through and eARC: off.

    Then set again “Optical Out” and now Dolby Digital is back!

    Thank you so much!

    Brilliant support

    Cheers
