Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help. I have a Yamaha RX-A2A set up in a 5.1.2 configuration. It is connected to a LG CX TV via HDMI 2.1 cable. Passthrough is enabled and so is EARC. I can stream Disney plus shows and get Dolby Atmos.
When I connect to my PC (my pc is connected to the TV not the receiver via HDMI 2.1 cable) and enable Dolby Atmos in windows the MusicCast app shows I am playing PCM 48 content, this even happens when I play Atmos enabled games with special audio selected in the game settings. I’ve tried the usually uninstall audio/ grapjics drivers and the problem persists. However, the issue is not with the PC. I know this because my soundbar will show it is playing Atmos content from the PC when connected using the same HDMI cable as the AV receiver.
Whats unusual is if I switch off EARC on the LG TV settings the MusicCast app says I am playing Atmos/ DD 48 content from the PC. This seems completely backwards and makes no sense to me. I also know this is not true Atmos so I’m not happy with this as a solution.
I am using straight mode on the receiver, if I try Dolby mode it still says PCM 48 as above. I am also able to enable Atmos on my series x using the same HDMI cable as the PC, so this rules out the TV as the issue.
Does anyone know what to do to make Atmos work over earc on PC using this AV receiver?
Update: I did try connecting the pc directly to the receiver and have the exact same experience as above.
