Hello Folks,
Need your suggestions for my problem.
My initial setup is like this - Connected my laptop and TV via HDMI to watch movies stored on my laptop on the big screen.
Now i added a soundbar to the mix. So the connections go like this - Laptop to TV via hdmi cable and TV to soundbar via HDMI ARC.
Playing Youtube on my TV, the sound works fine on the soundbar but When i play a movie on my laptop, the video appears on the tv but there is no sound on the soundbar. So i connected a aux cable from tv to soundbar, then the sound works on the soundbar but it is analog and inferior sound (since it is playing through aux).
Any ideas on how to get hdmi arc to output the laptop sound to the soundbar (without going through aux route)
