How to play Beam without when TV does't have HDMI ARC and Optical Out

Either of One out is working at a time...How come Audio returned from ARC on my Splitter

Are you certain the audio being fed is Dolby Digital. First thing to making it work is making sure the proper audio is being sent to the Beam.

I don't understand your comment "how come audio returned from ARC on my splitter"

Here are steps I followed

1. Connected my Step-up box to HDMI Input (I can see respective port is powered-on after connected)
2. Connected my TV to HDMI Out (I can see one HDMI Port is Powerred-on)
3. Conneted my Beam to ARC HDMI Out ( Not powerred on 😞 )


Then, I thought of using SPDIF OUT (not sure what it is) but Optical cable tht comes with beam not sutiable in size...


As long as my both outs powerred on, I cant use both TV and ARC.


Thanks for your responce ...

according to diagram it should work fine. Why do you think it doesn't work when both plugged in - doesn't the TV still work when you have hdmi out from the switch to TV and switch to beam (using both HDMI outputs).

lets try the optical cable just to see if there is some hdmi issue.

run optical cable from the switch to the adapter that came with beam then to the beam.

When you go into sonos controller what does it show for the beam does it show volume up and the beam on the TV input? ARe you sure beam isn't receiving the sound and you don't have it set correct.

when you go to your set top box - when you go to audio settings is it set to dolby digital (not plus) … what does it say for audio format its outputting.

We can simply this to rule out any issues with the splitter. Your cable box …. doesn't it have an optical output on it?

Thanks...Perfectly it is working sound is coming from Optical connection but howerver TV Audio has n't stopped .


TV Volume control doesn't seems to be controlling my beam (Controllng beam volumes)...
