Multichannel PCM on Arc

Are you really not supporting multichannel PCM on the newly announced Arc?

Why? It’s not a licensing issue this time.

It seems like there is always something missing with your home theater products.

Hi all,

We hear you. With a software update today, Arc now supports multi-channel LPCM, bringing new immersive sound experiences for gaming, Blu-ray discs, and more. To get support for multi-channel LPCM on Arc, download the latest Sonos S2 update from the app store and then update your system in the Sonos S2 app. After updating the app, go to Settings > System > System Updates > Check for Updates.

All the best,

Ditte

Wait… so I have a blu ray disc in the PS4 and it’s a 5.1 enabled movie. But with the update and changed tv settings, it’s still 2.0? Am I confusing myself?

Nice. What does this mean for Apple TV users wanting Atmos?

Sounds like your settings are wrong and you probably do not have an earc tv?

NO LPCM for any of the other HDMI Sonos devices?

I absolutely do have an eARC TV… so I’m unsure what I am doing wrong in the settings. I have it set to “auto” instead of PCM or passthrough and the PS4 is set to Bitstream Dolby.

Not at all, it should work now. If it doesn’t, it’s a tv issue.

But off topic.

You should set to passthrough.

If that’s an lg, at least your tv setting is wrong. You might have to also force the tv to look at the Arc edid again… so unplug both for 15 mins and try again or something.
