Hi all,
Wondering if someone can help with this. I’ve a Sonos Arc Ultra connected to LG G4 OLED TV via HDMI ARC. The sound takes (consistently) 2 minutes to output from the Ultra after turning on the TV.
- Both the Arc Ultra and LG G4 are running the latest software.
- Sound > Advanced > Digital Sound Out HDMI Audio set to “Passthrough”
- Sound > Advanced > “ERC support” set to “enabled”
- Sound > Advanced > HDMI ARC device Delay set to 0 (though setting to “bypass” does not have an effect).
- SIMPLINK (HDMI-CEC) is enabled (required for volume control through TV remove)
- Behaviour is occurring irrespective of the content e.g. Streaming Apps vs. analogue TV vs. from other HDMI sources (PS5 and Sky).
- After x2 minutes everything is fine, Sonos App shows the connection at this point.
I’ve tried A/B testing with most of the above settings, and even deleted the HDMI profile on the TV and restarted with no luck.
Appreciate this maybe an LG issue (“HDMI handshake or similar”), however I’d upgraded from a Sonos Beam (Gen 1) and didn’t have this problem. For me it’s an annoyance however I’m getting it worse from the wife and x2 small children...being less bothered about the sonic upgrade it’s more of a downgrade for them!
Any help/advice would be really appreciated.
