Hi there, recently bought an older model Samsung (NU7100), and Sonos Beam etc. Sonos is wired and working well without the TV (music only). But I am having issues with TV connectivity.
Things I've tried;
I connected the Beam via HDMI Arc (Tv input was HDMI arc). The sound was delayed and intermittently switched on and off.
I then ran an update on both the TV and Samsung, still same issue.
Tried turning off all products beside the Beam, still same issue.
Tried using the optical port on the TV (via the HMDI / optical adapter that came with the Beam). The only option on the TV that was now available to select other than the the "TV sound", did not work. No sound.
Went back to the HDMI Arc connection, it is now missing from the TV option menu.
Am I missing something? I am going to try another TV tomorrow, thinking maybe I'll try another HDMI 2 cable??
Thanks in advance... hoping it isn't something simple.. because I really am stumped...
Thanks

rtings.com says "For ARC to work, Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) must be enabled from the settings menu." so make sure you have done that, and make sure you are using the HDMI 3 port as it is the only one that supports ARC.
Use HDMI/ARC if you can. Also use Game Mode to reduce delay (this page says Game Mode is awesome).

Depends on which Sonos sound bar you’re talking about. The OP mentioned a Beam, which accepts HDMI-ARC as an input.
The PLAYBASE and PLAYBAR take an optical connector, sometimes known as TOSLink. There are some TVs that have a “mini” optical output, those require an adapter to make the connection to the normal sized cable. Older TVs may not have an optical out port at all.
