Connect TV audio

Match the ports on both devices before choosing a cable. ARC is convenient; optical is often the simpler two-channel fallback.

Use HDMI ARC/eARC

Best when both devices support it and integrated control matters.

A practical fallback when ARC is absent or troublesome; set PCM for a stereo DAC.

Check input selection, TV output format, ARC/CEC settings, and test a built-in app.
