Infuse pro ios1/16/2024 ![]() ![]() I would be interested to hear how you get on testing the ARC and what problems u encounter. As i said it might not be worth it for someone like me who just like to turn it on and have the best sound quality possible without the need for adding other equipment. I am no serious audio tech freak, i just want to turn on my TV and get the best sound using PS4, Virgin media box and the Apps stored on the LG TV. I have the LG C9 with a Beam and 2 play 3 speakers as rears at the moment and thought swapping the Beam for the ARC would be a huge leap in sound Quality. I am in a similar situation, i was just about to buy the ARC but the more i read about Atoms support the more i get confused. While this may not seem like a glaring oversight now that earc is new and not on every single device, the necessity will, IMO, become apparent soon. Hence, you get people like me, who still can’t use all their devices with the Arc, contrary to, at least to me, the whole basic premise of the earc tech. Of course, the key issue here is that the Arc doesn’t accept the necessary formats, as they have chosen to link themselves with dolby, while ANY device that I am aware of (admittedly, I am not conversant on all the discount streaming boxes) can output any audio, no matter the origin, as multichannel pcm. It (the receiver, the soundbar acting as the hub of a wireless 5.1 system etc.) just has to accept the necessary formats and do the audio well, nothing else. In fact, earc allows for a major simplification of the audio part of the home theatre. This means that audio devices don’t have to support the latest video formats any longer, which is probably a major relief to everybody, certainly the consumers who no longer have to rebuy receivers just because hdmi went up with. Now earc would allow you to have the tv take over the traditional switching role of the receiver, keeping the video and passing the audio on to the audio devices via earc (as opposed to the receiver keeping the audio and passing on the video to the tv). ![]() Means that soundbars haven’t been a viable choice for a lot of people, who have had to go with massive receivers. The soundbar scene has been a mess due to the different connections, some major brands are still toslink only while others carry multiple hdmi inputs and act as receivers in that sense. I question if “LPCM” is a common use case, as multichannel PCM cannot work over ARC, it needs eARC which is pretty rare still (outside of your home, and my office which is where my LG C9 is, sitting all alone as I have to work from home now). If it doesn’t work because of an LPCM support issue, that’d be a crazy missed opportunity for Sonos - because this is surely a fairly common use case. Thanks very much to all in advance for any support. Since I started reading these community posts (and Sonos’ repsonses in many cases), I’m worried I’ve really splashed out on a dud for my use case. If I’ve missed any vital details that’ll help answer the question, please do let me know. In some other cases my rips show as having DTS-HD MA 5.1 - will they work?.In lots of cases my rips show as having TrueHD 7.1 Atmos - will they work and will I actually hear Atmos?.I use Infuse on my Apple TV 4K to stream my movies locally.I’ll try keep this short as possible to understand in the hope I don’t confuse things. I promise I’ve done over an hour and a half of digging before deciding to add to the confusing spectacle of ‘will my set up work’ questions on this board! Apologies if this has been somewhat answered somewhere deep in another thread! I’m not quite tecchy enough to work out where others’ set-ups will or won’t be similiar to mine.
