Will ARC ever support Dolby Digital or should I sell it on craigslist?

Will there be future support or should I get rid of it?

Are you talking about the Sonos Arc? Because the only thing it doesn’t support is DTS audio.

What you probably need to do is sell your tv, not your Sonos Arc. The weakest link here is a tv with  HDMI-ARC. You need eARC HDMI connection on your tv....

Or purchase the HD Fury Arcana.

Sorry, I meant DTS.  I have a LG OLED.

What DTS content are you trying to watch? If it’s a DTS-encoded Blu-ray, just set your Blu-ray player to convert DTS to PCM and you’ll get multi-channel LPCM to play through your Arc which sounds just as good as DTS-HD Master Audio.
