Sonos Arc Samsung Frame TV eARC not working

I have spoken to Sonos support. They have confirmed that there was an issue recorded in each diagnostic report. The issue occurs when the TV switches to Dolby Digital Plus. At this point, I think it’s important that other consumers realise that the Sonos Arc is not compatible with Samsung TVs. I have left a 1 star review on the Arc product page, I have also dropped a note to rtings and what hi-fi to highlight the issue so that they might add it to their review pages. Other consumers should know what they’re buying. I will remove the 1 star rating when the issue is finally remedied. (9 more reviews to drop it below 4 stars). If you’re reading this then I suggest you do the same so that they start prioritising this issue. 

Brand new QN90A and having the same issue. Would love to get info on this patch mentioned earlier in the thread.

Recieved my SONOS Arc earlier this week, and connected it to my 75” The Frame 2020. 
No problems yet. Everything is working perfectly.

The Frame is running firmware 1497 and SONOS is running 13.0.2.

Fingers crossed that it will keep up the good performance.

Hello. I watched a movie this evening. It cut out twice. I had the TV set to pass through - Dolby Digital Plus 5.1. Then I changed the TV to PCM. It cut out under both settings. It seems odd that the Sonos can’t even handle PCM without it cutting out. 

I use a Firestick 4K plugged directly into the TV  Surround sound settings are set to ‘Best Available’. Are people finding the issue with built in apps? 

Yesterday I experienced a problem for the first time.

I was watching a movie with Dolby Atmos on Netflix, paused the movie to answer a phone call, and when I started the movie again, there was no sound.

I unpluged the tv, waited 15 seconds, and started it up again. This fixed the problem, I now have sound again.

I watch Netflix via Apple TV 4K connected to my Samsung 75’ The Frame 2020.

I’ve tried that too, but it’s been awhile. 
I wonder if Sonia/Samsung now just consider this as ‘solved’ although there are still lots of issue. 
 

I still have warranty on both items, so I am seriously considering returning both items.

Any update here on a permanent fix? 

I got the Sonos Arc about a week ago. Could not get the audio in sync with LG OLED B7V and Nvidia Shield. Ended up buying the new Samsung QN95A. Finally the audio is in sync, but then there is this new problem with audi cutting out. 
Just watched a 4k movie with Dolby Atmos via Nvidia Shield / Plex. Audio cuts out every 10-15 minutes for a couple of seconds. Sometimes every other minute, sometimes it lasts 30 minutes+ without cutting out. I have also experienced sound drops on non Atmos content.
Sound settings in Passhtrough.
When in Auto, it seems to not drop out that often, but in stead the noise “breaks” just a tiny bit in parts of the movie.

Super annoying having spent so much money first on the Arc, then on a brand new TV.
Not sure which firmware I am on, but my Sonos is up to date. And I ran the downloader on the new TV today.
Really hoping for a fix.

What’s the status on this issue now? I’m planning to buy a Samsung Q95T TV and Sonos Arc. Is this still an unsolved problem?

If yes, is it really common, or is it just like 1 % of the users who gets this kind of problems with the Arc + Samsung 2020 TV combination?

I had a problem with the sonos arc not working after turning off the TV. The sound would flicker on /off and I had to unplug arc to reset it to have it work.

I turned off "instant on" under the hidden menu of the TV to cure another issue where the wifi drops after turning off TV. Turns out, it fixed both issues!

Enter the hidden menu with old Samsung remote(look online for instructions) or ask the Samsung help line to turn off "instant on"
