Hi all
I have a LG UHD TV and have just bought a LG SN7CY soundbar which I must say is great. However I have a couple of questions regarding my setup to ensure I am getting the best sound.
My TV has 1 ARC HDMI and 1 regular HDMI port (annoying) and the same goes for the soundbar. My current setup is that the TV ARC port connects to the soundbar ARC port and then the Sky Q box connects to the regular HDMI port on the TV. Doing this seems to set the soundbar to ARC and allow me to enjoy the Sky Q with Atmos enabled.
However, for all my other devices, PS4 and Nvidia Shield more importantly, these connect to a Switch box and the Switch box to the second regular HDMI port on the soundbar. The soundbar then displays HDMI when one of these devices is on, however I am unsure if I am getting Atmos from the Shield if its just via the regular HDMI port ?
So my question is, should I just plug all devices, Sky Q included into the Switch box and connect it to the regular HDMI on the TV which then should have them all on ARC on the soundbar ?
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks
