So I set up my Arc on a Panasonic viera TV which has an hdmi arc port on hdmi 2.
on set up with TV turned on Sonos could not detect an hdmi arc port until I changed source to hdmi 2 away from TV when it then connected and sound then came from the TV when I switched the source back.
since then when I switch the TV on there is no sound until I changed source to hdmi 2 and the arc wallpaper and back to TV source again.
music seems to stream fine.
