Sonos Beam: make default for TV

I have a Beam connected to my Apple TV with ARC. The Apple TV is connected to the router via ethernet. It plays on my LG TV.

I set the Beam to be the default audio output but it keeps changing back to the TV speakers. It changes when I turn the TV off and on and sometimes it changes when I choose a different channel. Quite annoying. Any ideas?

Is the Beam hdmi lead definitely in the ARc or eARC input, if it’s not on settings it’s automatically set on when connecting to the ARC input. 
Otherwise id trawl though all the settings menu, or maybe contact LG.

Yes, definitely. I’ll have another look through the Settings

It’s weird that sometimes it’s Audio and sometimes Beam. Trying to work out what determines it.
