Connecting Epson TW7100, Sonos Beam and Chromecast trough Hdmi Switch

Hello,

Here is my setup:

  • Chromecast with Google TV [The Player]
  • EPSON TW7100 [The Projector]
  • Sonos Beam Gen 2 [The Sound System]
  • Feintech VAX04101 [The HDMI eArc Pass Switch]

I have no sound coming from the soundbar. When I switch off the eArc button on the HDMI switch, the sound comes from the projector. When I switch it on, no sound comes from the soundbar.

Any idea?

Thanks for your help,

Thibaud

Hi,

Good news, it works correctly with the last Feintech version, the V1.10.30 one and the Google TV Chromecast audio output set on auto.

What an adventure!

Thanks again for the  support! :relaxed:

Good idea. How can I proceed to make this update? I dowload the zip file and?

Not ever done it myself, but it looks like you need to uses a USB-Micro ‘data’ cable and connect it to a PC and you power on the VAX04101A and use the Feintech software, stand-alone executable, to install the firmware update - the instructions/read-me *.pdf are in the downloadable zip-file, I see.

@tibynight,

I would also see what Feintech Support suggest in relation to your projector, as they maybe to suggest/assist with the firmware update process too.

Right, I did the update and install the V1.10.27 version but it didn’t solve the problem.

Feintech says it’s the V1.10.30 that improved support of video projectors but it’s not the version contained in the zip file (which is V1.10.27).

Hopefully the Feintech Support Staff will help you to get the later firmware version and get it sorted - let us know how it goes and hope you can get it sorted soon.👍
