Please advise menu settings...

Equipment

QLED 4K TV with HDMI eARC.

Sky Stream puck.

True Dolby Atmos Soundbar eARC (on its way).

Full sky package.

UHD/dolby atmos sky subscription.

I understand the physical setup.

Puck to HDMI in on soundbar

eARC HDMI out to TV eARC HDMI.

Could you advise which settings to use on the puck audio Menu in particular and the audio settings within the TV in general.

Many thanks,

@Capt555 I have a Samsung TV and Soundbar with a stream puck.

My puck sound settings are :

Digital audio output HDMI = Auto

Digital audio delay HDMI = 0

I also have HDMI control set to ON in the start up & Standby menu

On my TV my sound settings are:

Sound Output - TV & Soundbar (through eARC)

Sound Mode = Surround

Expert/Advanced Settings are:

Woofer & Equaliser - I have left as default

HDMI-eARC mode = Auto

Digital Output audio format = Auto

Digital output audio delay = 100

Dolby Atmos = On

Sound feedback = Low

Simultaneous Optical Output = Off

I hope this helps 🤞

@Fothergill1

Thank you for taking the time to answer.

It's really helpful.

One more point, if I may. The TV settings would only affect the devices plugged straight into the TV, then using the eARC flow from the TV to the soundbar?

If I plug the Stream puck directly into the sound bar IN and then from the sound bar into the TV via HDMI eARC would any specific settings on the TV audio Menu be needed? Or switched off completely?

Regards

@Capt555 I'm not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination and I don't really know the answer to your question. All I can say is my setup works adequately for my TV viewing.

I have everything connected in what I believe is a fairly basic configuration. Stream via USB to TV and Soundbar to eARC HDMI port. I also have an Apple TV connected to another HDMI port.
