Hello,
Seems like every issue I read is with HDMI ARC on these LG TVs. However, I cannot find one that is specific to my problem. Since I've purchased this TV I've had to mess with the settings to get it to work for a PC to TV to Vizio Sound Bar on HDMI ARC. The device is not eARC and that setting is turned off. Once it works though, I usually don't have to mess with it. Unless there's a TV update, like I just had. Now the strange thing is HDMI ARC functions on my TV box but not the PC, but this is a common problem for myself. Usually, messing with the PC settings (windows 10) will fix this issue, but not this time. I have uninstalled the sound drivers manually, and had them updated through the windows troubleshooter, but still have not had luck. One odd thing I've noticed is that when I turn off the sound bar, the TV switches to speakers, and this ONLY occurs when the PC sound does not work through ARC. I've also turned off and on Simplink to try to get it to maybe recognize the sound. I have disconnected and reconnected hdmi cables at every port and tested at each stage with no success. I've been thinking about just disconnecting my TV so that no further updates are made as this is the only time I have this issue.
Does anyone have any tips for getting this to function properly? Anything would be greatly appreciated.
