Hi,
A couple of days ago I bought a Sub Mini to pair with my Arc that I have had for a few month. After I had connected the Sub I noticed the white led started flashing on the Arc a few times every minute. Sometimes just one flash, other times two or three flash. It´s just random, not like every 10 sec or so.
It took me some time to figure out that it’s happening when the Arc is receiving PCM audio. When playing Dolby or disconnecting the Sub in the app the flashing stops.
So for for example if I set my Xbox Series X to Uncompressed 5.1 or Uncompressed 7.1 the led are flashing. If I set it to Dolby Digital or Dolby Atmos it´s not flashing.
And on my Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 it´s flashing if the audio source is PCM if I´m not using Dolby audio processing option in the Shield settings, If I´m using Dolby audio processing the Sonos app will report Dolby digital plus 2.0 instead of PCM 2.0.
The Sub works as it should (I think) when using PCM but the flashing is annoying :)
- The led option is off in the Sonos app.
- The Arc, Sub and TV updated and I have tried factory reset all three.
- I have tried to hardwire the Arc.
- I have an LG C1 and all the settings should be correct on the TV. e-arc, bitstream etc.
So my question is, is this normal on the Arc when paired with a Sub and audio source is PCM? If so, why and can I disable the flashing somehow?
If it´s not normal, what can I try? :)
