Wondering if I can change the volume of my wired speakers that are in a surround sound configuration with my Arc soundbar through the amp. I don’t see where I can independently change the volume of my rear wired speakers?

Under the Arc’s settings, look for the Surround Audio settings.


Under surround audio there is just something to raise the TV level and something to choose ambient sound or full. I see no way to increase the sound of my two surround speakers independent of the soundbar. I can only raise the sound level of everything connected together.


The Surround Audio sliders primarily increase/decrease the levels for the surround speakers. The only drivers on the Arc that it can affect are the side-firing drivers as they work together with the surround speakers to play some surround audio especially with a Dolby Atmos or a 7.1 audio track.


There is no way to raise the volume of the rear wired surround speakers only, independent of the sound level of the arc.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Are the surround speakers too loud or not loud enough?
