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.

Change Digital Output Audio to “Pass-Through” and see if this setting allows you to enable Dolby Atmos Compatibility.

I cannot select pass through as it’s disabled

Are you using the Sonos-supplied HDMI cable to connect the Arc to the TV? Does keeping the cable box disconnected make any difference?

Yes using the Sonos supplied hdmi. No difference with keeping the cable box disconnected.

I’m stumped and out of ideas. The only other thing I would suggest is to double check that the Arc is actually connected to the TV’s HDMI ARC/eARC port.

Yes it is connected to the eArc HDMI. I will try connecting on a friends tv to rule out if it’s an issue with tv or somos system

I tried on a different Samsung tv which had hdmi arc port and still could not get the arc working. It keep saying the same error that arc mode for connected. I thinking it’s the problem with the arc.
