Happy Holidays Gang!
I do see others are having similiar issues and I'm trying to understand I have a Yamaha RX-V385. Recently bought a Walmart Hisense Smart TV 58R6E3 (with eARC). Cables are newer 4K HDMI Atevon High Speed 18Gbps HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 & backwards compatible. I do not rely on the built-in TV roku. My intention was to use new cables for a Roku Ultra and other devices. The configuration so far:
RX-V385 Audio Optical Input (from Audio Optical Output) Hisense 58R6E3 TV
RX-V385 ARC output to input Hisense 58R6E3 TV eARC/ARC
HDMI Output from Roku Ultra to HDMI 2 input Hisense 58R6E3 TV
The only sound I'm able to get from the mains 5.1 RX-V385 is from the built-in FM Tuner/Radio. Have tried to examine 'set up' in RX-V385 and properly choose all options. The Hisense TV (although factually sluggish), does automatically switch/toggle but constantly gives error message 'eARC device not plugged in' ????
No sound from the external Roku Ultra
No sound from the built-in TV roku
No sound from the TV (using outside antenna).
Wondering what I've missed?
Thank you for your help!
