You can do optical or Arc but you'll only get DD or DTS.

This device claims it can split the audio and video so you get lossless audio to the receiver and 4k to the TV.

u/ShortFuse · 3 pointsr/ShieldAndroidTV

Shield to Receiver to TV is the correct setup.

ARC is limited to basically uncompressed stereo or digitized (compressed) codecs. That would be Shield to TV to Receiver. Avoid this, since eARC (which supports higher bandwidth) isn't readily available yet.

The second HDMI cable to output stuff from your TV (like the built-in Netflix) at uncompressed audio. I've honestly never seen this supported personally, and if you have no interest in using the TV's built-in apps, then don't bother.

Edit: In some cases, you have a receiver that doesn't support the video stream you want. For example, my receiver does 7.1 PCM, but not 4K HDR. So, for my PS4 Pro, I split the audio and video with a 4th device. The audio goes to the receiver, and the video to the TV.

I’m in the same situation with an older receiver (hdmi 1.4) and a LG 4K Oled. The receiver supports TrueHD, DTS MA, etc so I wanted to extend its life.

I picked up a hdmi audio extractor from Amazon. The shield goes into the extractor, then it splits the video and audio with 2 hdmi outputs. It sends 4K HDR @ 60hz to the TV and bitstream audio to my receiver. It works very well, but occasionally has a handshake issue and I need to power cycle the extractor. Still worth it since it works very well otherwise. Also, make sure to use certified 18Gbps hdmi cables, I used monoprice cables (also on Amazon)

Hope that helps!

I do know this works. Tried it last night. I'm able to get lossless audio to receiver and hdr/4k to tv but don't want to have to buy 3 of them for my shield TV and PS4.

u/ace518 · 1 pointr/sonos

I had the same problem. I never solved it. I useda 4k 5.1 audio extractor I found on amazon, and sent the audio to the sonos separately.


just make sure the one you get does 4k @ 60hz. I was using mine as a PC monitor at the time, so that was extremely important. I don't think the TV can actually pass thru more than 2 channels. I could be wrong.

​

heres a link to the adapter I got.

What kind of switch are you using? I have solved the problem with a ViewHD 18G HDMI audio extractor, linked here: https://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Extractor-Splitter-Support-Toslink/dp/B0755TB82Q/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_5?crid=3CH1GGYMMNIWS&keywords=viewhd+18g+hdmi+extractor&qid=1555515620&s=gateway&sprefix=viewhd+18g%2Caps%2C129&sr=8-5-fkmrnull

The issue I have now is I can only use it this way if I turn off CEC control on the soundbar, otherwise it automatically switches input to D.IN, which now causes me to lose volume control with the roku remote.

Also, I was planning on using the ViewHD HDMI audio extractor with my Xbox One X since the soundbar can't output 4K HDR @ 60Hz @ 4:4:4.

I'm wondering if It is just a compatibility issue with Roku and some AVR's like the previous guy posted about.

u/atomxv · 1 pointr/ShieldAndroidTV

what you need is an HDMI audio extractor. I have this one and it works fine: https://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Extractor-Splitter-Support-Toslink/dp/B0755TB82Q/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=ViewHD+UHD&qid=1572960701&sr=8-2

HDMI out from the shield to the ViewHD box, from there HDMI out to my TV for 4K/HDR video and HDMI out to my H/K AVR for audio (DTS/DTS HD-MA/DD/DD+/TrueHD, whatever your AVR supports).

My only issue is that once a week or so, I have to unplug the ViewHD and plug it back in for my TV to recognize it.

u/Tiebierius · 1 pointr/cordcutters

I assume the optical is for connecting your AV receiver, consider a device like this , you can then choose nearly any streamer that supports your other criteria.
