Sonos Arc Samsung Frame TV eARC not working

So I just set up the Sonos Arc soundbar that supports eARC. It works with my 2020 65" Frame TV until I change the eARC setting on the Frame TV to Auto. The sound mutes and I can't get it to play until I turn eARC off. Anyone else have this issue? I’ve messed around with this for a few hours to no avail.

Hi all, yet another note from the dev team:

We have been working on the ongoing audio problem between the Sonos Arc and several 2020 Samsung TV models. These models support the new eARC connectivity. Samsung TVs prior to and from 2019 do not support eARC and are not seeing this particular problem. Customers will randomly experience a complete loss of audio which requires either the rebooting of the Sonos Arc and/or the rebooting of the Samsung TV. 

If you are experiencing this problem and you are willing to assist with some short term testing, please contact our customer care department at your earliest convenience.

Best,

Ditte

Installed the new updates to both Samsung Frame firmware 1403 and Sonos 12.2 yesterday and so far 24 hours and eArc is working .  Prior I was lucky to make it more than a few hours .

Updated 1403 and 12.2 on Samsung Frame 75. Uncompressed Atmos still does not work without the sound dropping in and out. Seemed to work slightly better for non Atmos sound. 

 

@Badc5   - is it working for you while showing Atmos icon the sonos app?

Have any of you tried the eARC on the actual TV as opposed to the One Connect? That make a difference?

The TV doesn’t have any inputs, if I’m not mistaken.   They’re all on the one connect box.

I don’t have mine yet, but I thought a support person at Samsung told me it has a direct one on the TV? Hmm

The Frame does not have any inputs /outputs on the Tv it uses the one connect box . 
 

I have confirmed that EArc is still unstable.

Hi all,

A quick note from our dev team:

We are aware and monitoring an issue when connecting Sonos Arc to late model Samsung TVs via eARC. We are working closely with Samsung to resolve this and will share more as available.

All the best,

Ditte

@Ditte 

Can you provide an update on if this issue between Samsung Frame’s One Connect and Sonos Arc has been resolved? Is eARC working and Atmos working? What was the resolution/fix?

THANKS!

So eARC is working with Atmos for you?
