My Sonos set up (Arc, Sub, several One speakers) always appear as temporary audio output - see Family Room. How can I make them default? I have to update this setting every single time I turn my TV on :(
My Apple TV is HD 4th Generation, if that matters.
Thank you!
Keep the Default Audio Output setting set to “TV Speakers”. The audio from the Apple TV should automatically play out of the Arc.
Thank you for your response - It doesn’t.
I have to go into the temporary output, select the Family Room and unselect TV speakers.
Is the Apple TV connected to one of the TV’s HDMI ports? Is the Arc connected to the TV’s HDMI ARC/eARC port?
There are two ports on the TV (it’s old). HDMI 1 and HDMI 2. Apple tv box is connected to HDMI 2. The Arc is connected to HDMI 1.
What specific model TV do you have?
SAMSUNG UN55FH6200FXZA 120HZ 1080P SMART
Your TV appears to lack an HDMI ARC port. You need to connect the Arc to the TV’s Digital Audio Out (optical) port using the HDMI to optical adapter that came with the Arc.
Then set the Apple TV to these audio settings:
Change Format: ON
New Format: Dolby Digital 5.1
Thank you so much! I’ll look for the adapter.
