    …TOSLINK can’t handle atmos bandwidth; you need eARC for uncompressed multichannel digital audio…

      I had fun with eARC a while ago, my TV definitely supports it because it was on the box but what it doesn’t say is the fact that only one of the HDMI port supports it and it doesn’t tell you which one. I had to go online into a random forum to find out, It’s port 3 by the way, because that makes perfect sense.

      If only eARC worked well. It’s support seems garbage.

      I had nothing but problems with eARC. DRM errors. Sound cutting out constantly. Device detection not working so the TV swaps back to internal speakers.

      Not one problem since swapping to optical.

        …i use optical PCM for all my stereo sources; unfortunately with multichannel audio its bandwidth is sufficient only for lossy compression…
