I’ve got a Samsung smart monitor with an HDMI-Arc port connected to my Amp. I can get the TV connected via the app and I hear the chime, but no TV audio plays through the speakers. Line-In and regular music play fine.
I’m using a very long 50’ HDMI cable because of my room configuration (been buying from Amazon to test and return if needed). This has been my second attempt with a similar cable.
I read somewhere that 8K cables don’t send the same signals as lower rez-rated cables. These all have crazy name/ratings like “HDMI 2.1 Cable 50ft White 4K 8K Fiber Optic HDMI Cable [8K@60Hz 4K@120Hz, 48Gbps, Dynamic HDR, HDCP 2.2&2.3, 3D] Compatible with 4090, RX 7900 XTX, Monitor, PS5, Soundbar”. Also read that the length could be the culprit.
Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) is enabled. The cable says it is directional and I’ve switched both ends but still no change.
Has anyone encountered a similar situation, either connection chime but no audio, or figured out getting proper sound while running a long cable? Thanks.
