Soundbar ARC Broken

It is connected via hdmi arc directly to the soundbar. arc is just the shortform for HDMI audio return channel.

if the monitor has a 3.5mm output and the soundbar has that as an input then that way. lg tv's these days have arc so could have attached soundbar to arc hdmi port and then xbox to another port on the tv, but as you have a monitor the options are limited.

I've tried multiple hookups. So xbox to my TV and and soundbar to TV via arc is what I have.I also tried xbox to the soundbar direct but it doesn't seem to work at all when I do that. I've played around with the sync settings on both my TV and soundbar.
If it's an arc issue is that because of the TV itself or the technology?

I've had a similar issue in the past. My resolution was that I had the HDMI plugged into HDMI ARC and it was switching audio between my TV and Soundbar. Caused both video and Sound to just go to my Soundbar lol Try a non-ARC port (HDMI 2 or 3) if it's
not a separate sound system issue (i.e. Soundbar, Surround Sound). Hope this helps!

Hi All,

I get Digital Audio via my Opitcal to Px4 headset, however using HDMI I can only get stereo?

Setup is as follows.

Xbox One -> HDMI -> Samsung TV ARC -> HDMI -> Samsung Soundbar

Anyone have any tips on how to get this working? or should this work at all?

This doesn't look right to me (i could be wrong) Xbox One -> HDMI -> Samsung TV ARC -> HDMI -> Samsung Soundbar
Should be....
Xbox One -> HDMI -> Samsung Soundbar (must be a ARC compatible soundbar with the correct HDMI sockets in/out) -> HDMI -> Samsung TV ARC / Headset optical -> Samsung Soundbar change setting on xbox
