Best Connection With Samsung TV, Roku Ultra, and Arc

I just purchased a new 85” Samsung QN90C, Roku Ultra, and Sonos Arc. Looking through the forums, I can’t seem to find decisive direction on the best way to connect these components or if I should change any settings to get the most out of the Arc.  Thank-you.

Connect the Arc to the TV’s HDMI eARC port (HDMI 3). Connect the Roku Ultra to any of the TV’s other HDMI ports.

Set the TV to these settings:

HDMI-eARC Mode: Auto

Digital Output Audio Format: Pass-Through

 

Moderator edit: adding later details for Best Answer:

Set the Roku Ultra to these settings:

Preferred streaming format: Dolby

Digital output format: Passthrough

Hello,

I have one other inquiry. With my challenged hearing, I am still playing with settings to get the most out of the center channel or better/louder dialogue.  I have selected the voice enhance mode, but could use a little more. Is there any other selections or settings that would further enhance the center channel or voice/dialogue on the Arc?

Thank-you.

Not the answer you are looking for…

I tried putting some towels over the right/left speakers to quiet them down making the center seem louder in comparison. The spouse was not amused but it helped.

All we can do is keep asking and hope it makes it onto the Sonos to-do list at some point.
