TV (Model # QN75Q8FNBFXZA) recognizes Sonos Beam via HDMI ARC. However, there is no sound. Have tried numerous times, too many to count, to reset/unplug/replug, etc. Still nothing. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Hi Peter Ko
I haven't looked at the manual for your set but there has to be an audio menu somewhere in settings. Make sure that audio for Digital Out is set to DD5.1 (preferred), PCM or Stereo. Also, did you follow the setup for the Beam step by step which setups up your audio as well? Lastly, make sure an audio source is connected and turned on (i.e. cable box etc.)?

TV recognizes Beam as one of the sources, "Receiver HDMI." Audio setting is set to "Receiver HDMI" and PCM.
Is there another HDMI device connected to the TV?
Yes, there are other HDMI connections. ChromeCast and HDMI Extender.
Remove the other HDMI devices. Power the TV and the Beam off. Power the TV and the Beam back on. This may resolve things, at least for a time, and you can reconnect the other HDMI devices.
There have been reports about issues with Samsung TVs when there are other HDMI-CEC devices. The TV seems to get confused. A workaround is to disable CEC in the other devices if you can. If that's not possible you can get 'CEC-less' adapters which basically break the CEC connection in the HDMI.

I removed all HDMI connections. Powered TV and Beam off by unplugging all. Then, powered TV back up. Beam is not connected. Reconnected just Beam. TV detected the Beam and set it as Receiver HDMI. Still no sound.
Hi Peter Ko
Th Beam should work with just your cable box connected to another HDMI port. Well...desperate times call for desperate measures. Here's my suggestion...
1. Factory Reset the Beam. You must see a Green flashing LED: (https://support.sonos.com/s/article/1096?language=en_US)
2. Factory Reset your Samsung (you may have to call Samsung to find out how)
3. Make sure audio out is not set to DD+ or something other than DD5.1 or PCM (see insert)
3. Run setup again
4. Good Luck!
