Hi all,
I've recently purchased a Sonos Beam and two One's and have these setup in surround sound with my Panasonic tx-50dx700b . These work great when watching TV or when using native apps, and also surprisingly it seems as if my TV does pass through 5.1 from the PS4 when playing games. However, when passing through this 5.1 there is a considerable audio lag which is very noticeable. This lag disappears if I plug the PS4 directly into the Beam.
To try and fix this problem I purchased a HDMI switch - Portta 4 Port HDMI Switch Auto 4x1 Audio Extraction: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics
I had understood that this would allow me to have the Beam and PS4 interact directly, whilst also having sound from the TV play through the Beam. On setting it up I have followed the instructions and currently have:
TV > HDMI output on the switch
Beam > Optical output on the switch (using beam HDMI to optical adapter)
PS4 - HDMI input
When doing this the TV still recognizes the PS4, however there is no sound from either of the TV or the PS4. Now I have my TV set to home theater and I have gone through all of the options on my PS4; PCM, Dolby DTS and Dolby Bitsream, but no sound.
Is anybody able to help with what I might be doing wrong? Perhaps I have purchased the completely wrong product as I'm very new to all of this.
Thanks for all of your help!
