Hi All

My soundbar is connected to the TV using ARC and my Fire TV device to the soundbar via. hdmi - it can't be connected to the TV as its behind a wall so a bit difficult to route the cables.
Everything works fine, however my soundbar always turns on as D. IN and I have to always switch it to HDMI manually to take in the input of the Fire TV cube.

Any way around this? Ideally would prefer that the soundbar always starts on HDMI (even after powering off as HDMI).
 
Which Samsung Soundbar do you have? A link to the user manual would be handy.

ARC requires you to use CEC and CEC is likely the problem here.

Do you use the TV Tuner and Apps? If not you can try disabling CEC, which will in turn disable ARC, and see how you now get on.
