So, I am unsure if this post belongs in the soundbar forum, or the TV forum...but here goes
I have a Philips Tab 8405/10 soundbar, hooked up to my Philips 43PUS6753/12
Now, I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong, but I feel like the performance, and general user experience is somewhat sub-par.
The most annoying thing at the moment, is simply getting the soundbar to produce sound...
When I power on my TV, using any source (Sky Q, Xbox etc) the soundbar does not power on with it, via HDMI CEC. (If I power on the Sky Q box the TV will switch on, and change the input source)
So I have to manually turn on the soundbar...OK, no big deal.
But
The TV (or soundbar, or both) then gets 'confused' at how to output the audio (either via the TV speakers, or the soundbar), and after a second or 2 just gives up, and i have no sound at all.
I then have to open the Audio Out settings for my TV, select any option other than HDMI sound system, and then change it back to HDMI sound system.
I can choose any option, TV speakers, headphones, just anything that isn't the HDMI sound system. SO long as I go back to HDMI sound system, the soundbar will produce sound....sometimes out of sync, but that's another thread
And I have to do this every Single. Time.
As you can imagine, this is painfully annoying.
I am using ARC, so Sky Q box, and Xbox are hooked direct to the TV, and then a high speed HDMI cable from TV ARC to soundbar ARC.
I have tried multiple different cables, across all connections, and still I see this issue.
Both soundbar and TV are fully updated
Everything was working OK in the past, so I am at a loss as to what has changed...in my setup nothing has physically changed.
Does anyone have any ideas, or tips as to where I can start to look.
