Hello community !
I came here for some help so any answers would be greatly appreciated .
And please I only ask to lessen all the technical rubbish from your answers please and thank you . So basically a yes or no and if yes an explanation / instruction on how to . I know some technical stuff but am new to it all and it will drive me nuts and most likely confuse me lol .
So here goes , I have had bad luck with my Sony Bravia A90J 4k tv , both my 120hz 4k hdmi ports have QUIT working so,,, currently I have no use of getting Dolby Atmos sound or true 4K 120 hz video while streaming 4k content with Dolby Atmos sound available on my tv or with the PS5. :(
My current set up is I have my Play Station 5 hooked up to my Sony tv’s hdmi 1 port ( Enhanced setting turned on with my tv settings for that hdmi output )and my Sonos Arc hooked up with the Digital optical cable ( that came with the Arc) to my Sony Tv digital cable input .
My tv settings for audio is with the arc use turned off ( because I am not using it obviously ) and the rest is set for Dolby digital sound only with pass through on auto and Dolby dynamic range to compressed , a/v sync is on , digital audio out to Auto 1 .
Yes it’s still a very good picture and my sonos system sounds amazing still ( system includes . Sonos Arc with 1 gen 3 Sub and two Sonos 1’s gen 2 as front speakers and two Sonos 1’s gen 2 as surrounds )
So first question is is there ANYWAY to get Dolby Atmos sound (without )using the Earc hdmi port on my tv ( cause it’s broke ) while streaming on the Tv with Dolby Atmos available content ?? Or through my PS5 ??
Can I hook my Sonos Arc directly to my PS5 with the Dolby Atmos settings turned on on the PS5 with a high speed hdmi cable ?? Then maybe get an adapter for the ps5 ( as we all know it only has 1 hdmi port ) to run another hdmi cable to my tv ? Yes I know I still wouldn’t be getting 4k true HD video but I would hopefully like to at least get the Dolby Atmos sound .
I have googled so much and for so much time waisted and still haven’t found a direct answer to my question !
I have read No you cannot get Dolby Atmos without using Earc and have read yes you can get Dolby Atmos by hooking up my soundbar directly to my PS5 , but maybe have like a delay in audio . ??? So what is is people ???
And YES I have tried all the resets with the Sony Tv and the refreshing of the hdmi cables and tried different cables etc., all of it and nothing works with those 2 hdmi 120hz 4k ports also ALL of my updates are up to date on everything , the TV my sonos app and my PS5 .
So can somebody please help me and answer this question . PLEASE !
If it’s a NO I can’t get Dolby Atmos sound and I’m screwed I will live with it untill i can get those 2 ports or the board inside the Sony tv repaired / replaced . But if there is a way to get Dolby Atmos sound without any issues or delays in audio video sync etc ., please tell me how to do this with my current set up or with buying an adapter of some sort . I will be waiting for an answer . And thank you to all who does take the time out of their busy lives to respond ! Have a great day !
