Samsung TV Sonos Arc question

If you aren’t able to get Dolby Atmos audio from any of your internal TV apps like Netflix or VUDU, then you are probably limited to Dolby Digital Plus.

You can always add the HD Fury Arcana to your setup to bypass your TV’s limitations and get Dolby Atmos audio from external devices. I’m not sure you can get Dolby Atmos from a PS4. But you should be able to at least get Dolby TrueHD from Blu-ray Discs playing in your PS4.

sorry little noob on this, Can I stream something on the TV and run it through the PS4 to enhance audio then to Sonos Arc?

Also where would I put the HDfury? between the hdmi arc and the sonos?

Sorry, I don’t really understand your question. But I’m going to say no, the PS4 isn’t going to enhance anything.
 

The audio you get out of your Sonos Arc is determined by the source content, the device/app you are playing it from, and what your TV can pass through. The only way to know what audio your TV is capable of passing through is by testing different sources from different apps and media devices. Can you give some examples of what audio you are currently getting and what source/app are you testing?

Here are a couple of diagrams from the HD Fury website that might help. Ignore the projector:

Ok, so the sound would come out of the TV via HMDI connected to the HMDIarc port, go to the Arcana get boosted to Atmos quality then via another HMDI go to the New Sonos Arc at Atmos quality sound.

am I understanding that correctly?

that would be great if that's the case

The Arcana doesn’t boost the sound quality. It just takes the original audio from the source and sends it directly to the Arc rather than having to pass it through your TV (where the “downgrade” in audio usually occurs).

For example, if you have a Blu-ray player with a Dolby TrueHD/Dolby Atmos-encoded disc playing, the player would send the full Atmos audio signal to the Arcana and then directly to the Arc while the video signal is sent to the Arcana then to your TV.

oh shoot, so I have a Samsung Q7 Smart Tv and watch everything through app on the TV. Your saying putting the Arcana between the TV and Sonos will NOT help the sound quality because its not enhancing the sound from the TV…?

Also what about putting a  Roku Ultra in the mix? I have one on a different TV

I have a PS4 currently mounted next to the TV would that work also ?

The Arcana will not change the audio from your TV’s internal apps. It will only allow your EXTERNAL media devices to bypass your TV and send audio directly to the Arc.

A Roku Ultra works great with the Arcana. I have one connected to my Arcana and I can get Dolby Atmos audio from Disney+, Apple TV, and VUDU. With the 2020 model of the Roku Ultra, you can get Atmos from Netflix too.
