Connected hmdi to the arc port in my tv, no sound coming from the receiver when watching netflix directly on my tv. Same with optical cable. Help?

I agree, Push the TV Sound button on the remote control. This worked for me.

I don't know what arc port is, I connected my HDMI out to one of my HDMI tv in, works great no other connection needed.

Rick, try going to your Sound controls from your "Control Panel" buttons. I recently connected to a TV through my HDMI and I find that I have to manually switch the sound there from "Speakers" (which is my computer sound) to "NVidia Hi-Def Audio" in order to get sound to the TV if I'm trying to watch something on Hulu over there. One annoying glitch though: The switch only allows for you to change your "Default" settings (be sure to hit default if "apply" by itself doesn't work... that's what I have to do.) so you then have to go through the procedure each time you change. Annoying, but workable if you don't have to do it a whole lot. - MJM

No but there is a solution. The audio output is via stereo jack or the hdmi. What I did to have 5.1surround through a n optical cable was to connect the hdmi audio/video out to an hdmi / sprig (optical) splitter. You get as an output the hdmi signal + optical audio. I am using the viewHD splitter and it works perfectly

Yes I watch Netflix and Hulu and the sound transmits though the headset. I have my adapter working with a Turtle Beach PX4 headset and the Xbox One.

No I use the HD cable and then set audio to ARC, though the optical cable is an option.

Jim, i have this unit and hdmi is finicky so i couldn't get it to work. So no big loss. Instead, use fiber optic audio output of tv to feed optical input of soundbar and all will be good.Regards,Greg

i connected all of my hdmi devices to the sound bar including the TV which is plugged in to hdmi 1; i also used the digital audio out (optical) connex. All sound/video feeds through just fine. I just switch the input to hdmi port (hdmi 1 for tv, hdmi 2 for dvd/blu ray, hdmi 3 for roku).

Replacing the HDMI cable I was using (one that came with a video card) with a new High Speed Monster Cable fixed my problem as described below instantly.I have noticed that ours has recently started this behavior as well. Additionally, our XBox 360 is connected directly to the TV, and when using the ARC, the sound dropout is nearly continuous. I wonder if there may be a problem with the HDMI cable going from the receiver to the TV, but I haven't had a chance to try getting a new cable and see if that is in fact the problem.

Go with directly connected to one-connect box and audio back to your receiver via HDMI ARC or SPDIF (Optical) cable. The interface is actually quite nice on the Samsung TV. You could always try to connect it into the receiver and see how it goes. Also if you're using a 4K TV that automatically upconverts the image, I would disable the upconversion on the receiver. I've had better results on my Denon S900W with upconversion disabled interfacing to a UN65HU9000.

Can't speak to the Aquous 3d, but with my Panasonic and Tivo, I ran the cable from the wall to the TIVO, HDMI cable to any HDMI input on the tv, then run a second HDMI cable from the new speaker (HDMI output 3 labeled "AV out to TV") to TV. Cable from speaker to TV should be plugged into TV HDMI opening labeled "ARC". Hope it works....

There is only a digital optic port, no HDMI port. You would have to see if your TV are receiver, has a digital optic port and direct connect it to the sound bar

Do you have a smart TV? Try to send the content to that device instead. On another note...you can connect the optical audio from your TV to your receiver and no matter what you watch on TV you can get dolby sound by goint to that source. I had the same problem before when trying to use my itouch and the content would not stream. I ended up plugging the USB to my smart TV and it worked.

I have everything going to my TV (so that is my limit on HDMI inputs). I then just run 1 optical from my TV to the soundbar.. and *any* input/sound combination then successfully is sent to the soundbar (hdmi1 for fios, hdmi2 for bluray player, hdmi3 for xbox etc)

Diana Gray, This model's HDMI-2 port supports the ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

You connect it by using and hdmi cable (best option) or a optical audio cable from your TV. If you use and HDMI cable make sure your TV has an output labeled ARS, that means that it can accept audio both ways

I don't see any hmdi ports, I have the cable from my monitor plugged into the jack on the back for the monitor. Sorry, not very helpful.
