Hello,
I bought the Sony XT8500 Soundbar, however I can’t get any sound from through ARC HDMI port.

I tried connecting it to my Philips 49PU6803 using two different HDMI cables (nothing special, from other devices) making sure to connect to TVs ARC HDMI port and Soundbar HDMI in. Is it likely to start working if I purchase high spec HDMI cable or should the function at least provide some audio with basic hdmi cables?

PS - have triple checked settings on TV but still no joy. It does work using optical cable, but as I understand the Soundbar won’t support any additional features/higher quality unless using HDMI ARC?

Thanks in advance, any help welcome.

Are you sure you're using the correct HDMI port on both the TV and soundbar? Have you also changed to audio output settings to 'HDMI sound system' on the TV?
