Hi All,

I just bought a Sonos Arc and Sub and also bought a new Samsung 75" Class - Q6 Series TV. The TV comes with a eARC HDMI port and when i try to connect the Sonos Arc to the TV it does not detect the Arc. I see many articles that there is some compatibility issues with Sonos and Samsung. I am trying to know if anyone ran into similar problem and if you were able to get this resolved. Thanks!

Maybe you should contact Sonos.

Do you have Anynet+ (CEC) enabled in your TV settings?

Do you have any other devices connected to the TV?

Be sure you have the latest firmware installed on your TV. Then disconnect everything from the TV including the Arc. Unplug the Arc and TV from power for about a minute. Plug them both back in but keep the cable box and Arc disconnected. Be sure Anynet+ and eARC is enabled on the TV and redo the TV Setup process in the Sonos app. Connect the Arc to the TV when the app instructs you. When the Arc is connected correctly to the TV and the Arc is playing audio, reconnect the cable box.

If this doesn’t work, try the same process with eARC disabled.

Thanks. I tired the steps. But still I am getting the same error that the Arc mode is not connected. In my tv sounds settings I only see TV Speaker, Bluetooth and optical but no sonos

However I do get the tv sound from the Sonia Arc (this was happening even before) but when I check the eArc hdmi it says not source connection and plus the atmos option is unavailable to select in the sound settings

Are you not able to change the Sound Output setting to “Receiver (HDMI)”?
