Posted February 15

I am trying to setup my new Phonak my hearing aids TV Connector with my new LG GP2 TV and Sonos Arc sound bar, connected by via the HDMI eArc port. The TV automatically uses the the HDMI eArc port, and that port only. As a result no signal goes through the optical out port of the LG TV.

Is there a way to make the LG TV sound signal simultaneously go out to both the sonud bar via eArc port and to the Phak TV Connector via the optical out port so that I can connect hearing aids to the Phonak TV connector and also use the Sonos Arc soundbar at the same time?

Appreciate any guidance.
Thanks, M55

- LG 65C12LA and sound output device (eARC)
  By Aliaksandr Baranouski
  
  Hey guys,
  While I have Sonos Beam gen2 connected to my LG 65C12LA via HDMI (eARC) I can’t select any other output device e.g. bluetooth headphones. I can technically select it in TV menu for like 5 seconds, and then output switched back to HDMI (eARC). Is it a bug or feature?
  Thanks in advance!

- Popup messages: Wired Lan cable disconnected / Wired network is connected
  By John Bizeray
  
  I recently updated the firmware on my LG43UH610V. Now I constantly get "Wired Lan cable disconnected" / "Wired network is connected" messages even while watching a video file from my NAS. The TV is connected and using the network while getting these messages. It has always been on a fixed IP address on the LAN.
- LG CX, SONOS arc: PC audio is randomly recognize as WMA and randomly as Dolby Atmos
  By Riccardo
  
  Hello to everyone,
  I am new to the forum. I wanted to ask whether I am alone with this problem or it is common.
  My set up: PC-DolbAtmos, LG-CX, SONOS ARC (eARC).
  I've notice the audio connection between the PC and LG+ARC was unstable. Finally I noticed LG-CX sometimes forward (passthrough) the good Dolby Atmos signal and some other times it passes a signal which is WMA (not supported by the sonos device).
  PC is set to always send "Atmos", when WMA is sent, simply changing "passthrough->PCM->Passthrough" in the LG audio menu solves the problem.
  Why is know that LG-CX randomly passes the good signal at times and at other times doesn't ?
  Would you have any tricks to help out ? maybe force audio to be transcoded by the TV (possible?) to be alway DD+ ?
  
  Thanks a lot for any kind of help and suggestions.
