Hopefully an easy question for somebody to answer. Reckon I’m being thick because I’ve hunted and can’t find an answer anywhere.
I have a Sonos Beam connected to an LG C9 through HDMI ARC. I’ve replaced an ancient set of Sennheiser headphones which connected through the audio cable (as simple as selecting wired headphones from the sound output options) for watching at night with Sony WH-L600 headphones.
I connected the Sony headphones via the optical cable but if I select optical from the sound output options the TV instantly switches back to HDMI ARC. The only way I’ve found so far to stop this was to disconnect the HDMI cable from the Beam.
I thought it might be possible to get an HDMI switch and switch the ARC connection from the Beam to headphones but don’t think that works with ARC.
Can anyone help? As I say, reckon I’m doing something really thick or missing a setting on the TV. Any help would be appreciated.
