Sonos arc connected to sony tv when try to select tv speakers it jumps back to audio system?
I know what you are saying, but it worked with an older sound bar, and it worked with a different model sony tv and sonos arc in the Richer Sounds shop.
Not that it is how you want it, but according to the HDMI-standards this is how it is supposed to work: using a soundbar with HDMI-ARC/CEC channels all sound to the soundbar. Other possibilities are closed.
There is an option on the tv to use audio system (sound bar) or tv speakers, i have my HiFi connected to the tv via optical cable and to use this you have to go through the tv speakers, but when i select tv speakers it just flicks back to audio system.
According to the HDMI-standards everything is working properly: when the Arc is connected it is always used for sound. Or do you have another problem?
It is not about the expense of the thing, more of it all working properly.
It is beyond me that you would buy an expensive speaker and not want to use it………
Though you are certainly not the first one to complain about it.
Got the plug so far works well, what do you think of the Sonos do you have the full set up sub and rear speakers?
Thanks still waiting on the plug hopefully today so will let you know how it goes.
I have sent for a smart plug i will let you know how it goes.
Thanks for the tip i will try that, although it must be an issue with the tv because i had another soundbar and it worked fine.
Yes the older tv only had ARC so it must be an issue with eARC, its beyond me.
I got in touch with Sonos people, they said it is a TV issue, i tried the sound bar with an older sony tv and there was no problems, so it must be this new model i have now, maybe it will be fixed with a future update.
Thanks will try again tomorrow.
Sorry, it needs to be ‘on’ for the Sonos to work. I think in order to have your TV speakers to work, turning it ‘off’ is supposed to work, but you may need to reboot your TV, or possibly unplug the Sonos Arc’s HDMI cable.
This is not how HDMI CEC / ARC was designed to be used, so trying to force your way around the way the specification was written is problematic. The engineers (not Sonos) who wrote that spec didn’t expect people to want to switch between external and internal speakers.
But as I said, it’s much more likely the the Sonos reps might have access to information that I don’t...and honestly, this is a Sony issue, not a a Sonos issue, no matter what their CS reps told you.
Turning it off doesn’t solve the problem.
No, standard HDMI ARC can handle the bandwidth necessary for Dolby Digital Plus, which can also carry Atmos. eARC is great, but not a requirement for Atmos.
eARC is an upgrade from ARC it can handle more bandwidth, it is needed to handle Dolby Atmos.
Looks like the call it what it is, eARC. Oh, and BRAVIA Sync.
I had the Sony help people remotely go through the settings on my tv, they found nothing wrong and referred me to Sonos.
