I have lg oled c2 and i just purchased a party speaker that has arc hdmi support (zebronics roxor 100) but the minute i connect the speaker via hdmi to the tv, the tv gets muted… ive checked all settings… the audio out device is just as you suggested and all other settings are perfect as well. The speaker is working with my samsung tv… any solution to this? It would be very helpful. Ive tried almost every possible setting.
@@aracelyrivera4215 I managed to fix mine by adding an audio optical cable connection from the speaker to tv - while keeping hdmi cable plugged in for the arc. I’ve not heard anyone else advise this as a solution but the optical cable genuinely solved the muting issue for me. If your speaker has an optical port, give it a go
My new LG OLED isn't working. I put in an HDMI cable into the LG "EARC #2 HDMI port, ran it to my Sony receiver which did work with my Sony Bravia, into the "ARC TV out" port. No sound. Simplink has already worked and will shut off my receiver when I shut off the TV. Any idea if buying a new HDMI hi speed cable will solve the problem? Or should I just get an optical cable and try that?
same problem for me. When I connect with my LG UQ7550 tv with sony home theatre dav tz 145 with 2.1 HDMI ARC Cable and also I tried in TV Settings it does not worked for me. I am not getting the output sound any idea?
Very informative, if my input TV source comes exclusively from a virgin media broadband cable TiVo set top box will the eARC HDMI input sound just like the 3 other regular 2.1 HDMI sockets?
Hi Dominic, how do you connect Apple TV box to an LG 55uj6540 and a Sorround Sound receiver? I had the AppleTV hdmi to the receiver’s hdmi1 input and then the receiver eARC hdmi to the tv ARC hdmi port. However, I had to reset the tv and this setup wouldn’t work anymore. After a couple hours fight I came up connecting Apple TV to lg hdmi input and then, lg ARC hdmi to receiver eARC hdmi. This setup works fine but I am wondering what happened that the original setup didn’t work after the tv reset.

I tried connecting my LG Um7300 PTA to my Sony HT IV300 Home theatre with HDMI ARC but it's just not producing any sound Optical is working but I want to use the ARC. What should I do?
I also have a Sony 5.1 system! I tried everything but when i connect with arc i see a mute icon on the screen when i try to change the volume! And indeed the optical cable does work but i wanna know if the hdmi connection is better???
@@kennethmanuputty9865 yes, I've have observed that 1 out of 3 times the home system does not work. So all I have to do is shut the entire system off and turn it on again for it to work. You have to let the speaker boot up completely (it takes a little time). It takes 3 blinks before it's ready to use. Now all you have to do is choose the TV output option as HDMI. Wait for like a minute or so and you're good to go.

Please help.MY LG TV I use is HDMI ARC 2.0 and i use a receiver with HDMI ARC 1.4. and in sound output I get only sound in Dolby 2.0 when I select PCM y if choose trasfer or automatic the sound i get is garbled. Is this because of my receiver? I understand I can not get Dolby Atmos because my receiver nor the tv is Dolby Atmos but I should get Dolby digital 5.1 through HDMI. Right?
One thing to remember....some AV Receivers DON'T have ARC HDMI ports. Not just ANY HDMI port will work. I recently updated my TV to an LG C1 which has ARC. I retired my 12-year old DLP TV (which was still in great working order), but my Denon AV Receiver was just as old (still working great). Unfortunately, I had no ARC HDMI's on the older receiver so I was out of luck. My only choices were to get an optical cable ($14) a new receiver ($700) or suffer through using JUST my TV speaker sound.
For me, arc first worked, after i update firmware of tv, it didn't work also even if i connected sound bar with tv using other more like aux, it again goes to internal tv speaker mode. So bad
Hi, I connected LG tv with 5.1 soundbar...it's playing through PCM, however when auto is selected...it's not...the sound quality is good on auto mode....how to fix this problem (HDMI ARC)...pls help...both TV and soundbar have ARC ports

But no SOUND ny no name soundbar us hdmi arc as well and works sound plays, settings are all correct but once i plug in the new sony soundbar 0 sound, all settings are correct and hdmi arc all correct. Bluetooth works, tv remote even works with the soundbar but no sound coming out. Ive even tried unplugging, shutting everything off and on etc i have the LG 60UH6030

ARC works fine with my Soundbar but when I plug in DVD to either the TV or to the sound bar the sound out put auto switches to TV and Optical and turns off ARC out. How can I fix this. In order to watch TV I have to pull all other HDMI cables out.
Hey Dominic, what does the "ARC" button on the service remote do? I'm having home theater sound problem with my LG PF1500. I think it is because of the HDMI port 1 with ARC.
Nevermind. Just found out what is it for. Nothing to do with Audio Return Channel. It's for selecting the size of the main screen. I guess that makes more sense.
@@DominicGichane Thanks for the reply. I do have another question, not sure if you know anything about the LG PF1500 projector, but it's worth a shot to ask. I have the Korean model, the LG PF1500 KR to be exact. I was never able to change to country code or service country on this thing. Went into the service manual and the country code is "01" and cannot be changed. Tried everything, including upgrading the firmware, the current firmware is quite old. The final and latest firmware on this model is 03.00.17. My machine still has 03.00.09. Still, every time I check for updates, it tells me that it is up to date. Then I tried to USB update. It does not automatically read the 'epk' file. I followed all of the instructions. I tried to install the 03.00.10 before the 17, still, it would even take the 10. Contacted LG support and they were of no help. Just kept telling me to do a hard reset, which doesn't seem to do much. I know it can be changed or at least the firmware and WebOS can be updated, I saw a Koren youtube video with a guy (looks to be a Korean service center) talking about it in Korean (I don't speak Korean) and he turns the machine on (PF 1500 KR) and it has the new firmware and WebOS. If you have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have questions that I want to ask again and again when I bought this htg 700. Will my tv lg oled c1 both sound at the same time? It has earc support.

Finally, do you recommend sony ht s40 r dolby digital 600 w 5.1 or does htg 700 have arc support but no earc on it
My HDMI Arc with a new LG OLED55A1 AUB TV quit working - so no soundbar works with the TV now. (It worked fine a couple of months ago). I was just on the phone for nearly 2 hours with LG Support - and they couldn't resolve the issue. They wanted me to try the soundbar on another TV with HDMI ARC. I did this and it immediately worked! I suspect that an LG firmware change has made the HDMI ARC not work. I guess the LG TV goes back to the store.

Hi, if my LG OLED E6 only has ARC, and my Sony HT-ST5000 soundbar is eARC will I still be able receive and play 1.5 DTS and Dolby Atmos? As it IS a Dolby Atmos soundbar. However my My LG just has standard ARC port.
@@DominicGichane so how do I get Dolby atmos from the tv to the receiver …?? why have arc if It can’t support atmos. defeats the purpose of getting a LG.
I have a LG C1 OLED TV and managed to configure this by connecting the HDMI witch sends video and sound (my PC in this case) on the port 4 witch is 4k compatible and then connecting another HDMI to the port 2 (witch says is ARC), then in my Samsung soundbar instead of plugging into the port where it says "input" I had to plug into the port which says "output ARC" which is not very orthodox. Oh, and in my Soundbar I had to put the input channel TV and not HDMI.

This is a great video! Thanks for making it. I was checking the HDMI ports on my new TV and it has a "2(eARC/ARC)" HDMI port. I was wondering what it's for. I'll probably never use the feature, unless I get really into gaming with surround sound, but it's good to know the option is there. 🙂
I can't believe I missed that there is a dedicated ARC HDMI port. I spend 30 minutes troubleshooting why I can't get ARC audio. Turns out, I was in one of the two side HDMI ports (1&2), but the ARC port is HDMI3 and is on the back of the TV.
You are giving incorrect information. 'ARC' is just about available on all current Tv's. And has been available since 2009. It isn't JUST only on LG select smart tv's as you have it @ :51. I think the funny part is YOU show multiple TV's manufacturer showing the ARC port...
My Lg smart tv throught ARC with not play Double Digital +, from what I have read, DD+ via optical is muted due to optical only being 5.1 and DD+ being able to do up to 7.1 so they mute the audio BUT heres the thing with the LG's or the older LG smart tvs anyway, the ARC and Optical audio option is combined so when you select it and play DD+ it will also mute the ARC via HDMI even though HDMI can handle 7.1. I hate you LG.
You make it sound like more than one cable is needed to connect a TV to a soundbar using Optical. That's not correct of course. Are you actually just trying to say people most likely already have an HDMI cable, so no need to buy an optical cable?
