Hoping someone can offer any advice with an issue with a soundbar connecting to my TV.
When I connect my blu-ray to soundbar and then soundbar to tv (Via HDMI ARC) it works perfectly. Picture plays through tv and sound through the soundbar.
However, when I watch tv I have sky connected to the the tv and then the tv connected to the soundbar (again via ARC) and no sound comes out of the soundbar.
TV - Sony KD-49XG9005
Blu Ray - Sony Ubp-x700
Soundbar - Yamaha Yas-109
It could be the sky decoder that broke the link you may solve it buying an hdmi cecless cable to connect it
Not sure how that would help? When Sky is connected direct to the soundbar, the sound works so I don't think sky box is the issue.
If I watch Netflix or iplayer etc through the TV it still won't send any sound to the soundbar.
What should the cecless cable be connected to? (Sky to TV, Soundbar to TV?). Also, how will that solve the issue of no sound coming from Netflix (played through the TV) when sky box is completely unconnected?
Apologies, I did mention it my my previous reply, although not in the opening post.
That's the problem, I cannot get sound from the tv to the soundbar. I can only get it from external inputs (sky, blu-ray) connected directly to the soundbar.
Yes, it is plugged into the ARC port on the tv and the soundbar, audio is set to audio system and not tv speakers, soundbar is set to tv, I think bravia sync is active I can control the dvd player through it but not the soundbar. I have tried turning it all off, disconnecting and reconnecting but nothing.
All I can think of is the TV had a fault with the ARC port or theres a setting I haven't found/enabled?
