Soundplate connected to SONY TV via HDMI ARC. Sound goes back &amp; forth between internal &amp; external??

Sound will go out to this TV Sound System when connected to a Sony TV with ARC if you selected on the TV to be on external speakers. However, you may choose the sound to be output on the TV speakers when you select TV speaker instead of external speaker. This may be applied if you have other devices like cable box to be connected on the HDMI IN on this sound system and you just wanted to have it on the TV speaker system. (Pass through) -Ely

mine did not have a problem connecting to Sony headphones-- you may want to try another cable as i read they could be fragile.are you able to attach the sound bar to another tv to be certain its not the problem

The issue seems to be related to Bravia Link (HDMI-Control/HDMI-CEC) Disable "Control over HDMI" and my issues have been resolved. This may help you, it may not. This only seems to help with my Bravia turning off and the random "reset" of the video input together. Audio doesn't seem to have any issues since I have sound disabled and it is being piped from the over Optical to a Sony Soundbar.

Hello, if your sony has a HDMI plugin, yes. But it is possible that the sound is not working, because my receveiver dont eat the audio codec. or if your sony has a video cinch and audio cinch plugin also yes.

Check your TV input. I had one TV that had the plug in that I thought was an input for audio but was an ear phone jack (output). I bought a RCA splitter that used the red and white connection on the TV (input) then plugged into the audio on the HammerHead and that took care of the problem.

I had the same experience, but found the audio worked when using the HDMI output.

I remember having that issue when I first hooked mine up as well. I think the source for your audio on the TV is messed up. Make sure you have audio coming out of the TV and not through a receiver or make sure the receiver will play the audio.I have to turn off my TV speakers in order for the audio to play tthrough an external source.

I was told to send it to the manufacturer. My sound stopped working. I was using an HDMI connection to my projector from my surround sound. I think the hdmi board fizzled out on me.

I believe it to be true and originally ran HDMI to the TV (DirecTV HD-DVR and PS3) and then optical audio out to my receiver. The sound just didn't "pop" out and then I read the TV manual on a whim and couldn't believe that the output only is in 2-channel. I later read somewhere that it is intentional for copyright reasons. Unfortunately, my Surround Sound Receiver also has an annoying limitation whereby it switches HDMI but does not extract the audio from the HDMI connection. So, the workaround for me was to connect the HDMI (for video only) to the TV, keep the TV volume at zero, and connect the digital audio sources from the components to the receiver (which only has two optical audio inputs.) The sound and audio were offset but most good receivers will let you adjust to get them back in-sync.

Yes, buttt! The timing might be a little off and could sound simular to an echo effect. My sound bar is hooked up to optical connection. There should be a way to adjust this tv/soundboard timing, butt! I haven't researched this yet

on mine the audio only works for output A but you can get a "pass thru analog audio extractor" for the output B. it is made by NYKO. there are a lot of makers of this. Its a HDMI cable with two RCA jacks coming out of the thick part of the HDMI head. this pull of the Audio for sound system

Hi there... I'm not an expert in the subject, but I think you can fix it by going to "System Preferences" and after clicking "Sound" choosing HDMI in output, so it goes through the TV and not through the computer's speakers. Hope this helps!!!

Yeah that's how mine is connected to my home theater. It also features an HDMI arc (audio return).

Optical cable from your PS3 to the system my friend and that'll solve your problem. Just make sure you shut off the sound coming from the TV in your TVs menu.

Blu-Ray to HDMI and the sound bar using the Digital Audio out. That's how I have mine. Works fine but not too impressed with the sound quality of the speakers. Ok if used with TV speakers.

..yes, very frustrating. I'm having the same problem and unfortunately we may have to hook up a separate feed from the laptop headphone jack to the audio system. I had understood that you could get sound through the HDMI so this is a pain in the butt.
