Arc TV sound cuts in and out.

Just got the Arc and have it paired with 2 Play:1’s and a gen 3 sub. 
Samsung Q80R tv. 
 

The sound from the tv will play for around 5 seconds and then cut out for around 1 second, play for 5, out for 1, on and on. 
 

I’ve swapped out the hdmi cable twice, tried unplugging the tv, switched between PCM and DD+ and switched between different apps on the tv. 

The sonos app shows that I am getting an atmos signal  


Was running a beam with the Play:1’s (but no sub) before just fine.

 

Not sure what I should try next.

 

Thank you,

mike

Thank you all for all your efforts and testing. A system update has now been released which also include a fix to this issue (it disables the Sonos “screensaver” on an Arc if connected to a Samsung TV). Please update your Sonos systems. If you’re still experiencing problems after updating, please let us know.

Edit: 

First observation, the app shows what it is receiving In real time, watching YouTube I now see 'Dolby Multichannel PCM 2.0' Switch is 'Multichannel PCM 7.1'

Yeah, not even close. 12.2.2. I was at least on 12.2.6 until recently and now on 12.2.7. Just trying to determine if this is the version that was released just a half hour ago
