I'm not getting any audio from the apps via the HDMI via ARC connection to my receiver.  This occurred two weeks ago and was unable to resolve it, but ironically there was new firmware released that same day for my B6 (3/31/17) and this fixed the issue.  However, now I again can't get it working after a TV reset and tinkering with the audio settings again.  I tried to load the firmware again, but it appears this is not possible to forceable load the same firmware.

I've experienced this a few times with my UF770V set. 

First time, had the mainboard replaced under a support call.

Second time, it was after I'd been messing with settings - found that ARC wouldn't work with HDMI Deep Colour enabled on HDMI1. Disabled it and ARC started working again.

Third time, seemed to coincide with the update to 04.25.56 firmware. After a *lot* of messing about with resetting to defaults, leaving unplugged, changing ARC/HDMI control settings on the TV and sound bar, I discovered that the following fixed it for me.

  1. Turn HDMI control off at the TV and soundbar
  2. Turn TV and sound bar off and unplug from power
  3. Disconnect all HDMI leads apart from the one between the TV and soundbar
  4. Plug TV and sound bar in, and turn on
  5. Enable HDMI control on the sound bar
  6. Enable ARC and HDMI control on the TV. Sound output to the soundbar show now work
  7. Turn the TV off - soundbar should turn off with it
  8. Turn the TV back on - soundbar should turn on automatically
  9. Plug the rest of the HDMI leads back in and test again

Also, I found that I had been setting the TV to PCM output, which basically meant stereo output even when the source was 5.1. Leave as Auto rather than PCM.

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for the suggestions. Your third solution worked for me after trying all the more obvious ‘solutions’ provided by other users. My set up is an OLED C7 and SK9Y soundbar.

A little disappointed with LG that the set up procedure is so buggy especially between two LG products but delighted the issue is now resolved

If second HDMI is used on TV with ARC or power control on, then ARC will stop working! Try disable all Power control or ARC on all devices attached to the others HDMI except TV!

I only created this account to thank you. I was using my OLED TV with my Soundbar without problems when this occurred.  I followed your steps not thinking it would help much but it worked. Thanks a lot you saved my day.

Well… it worked. I was skeptical as I had tried all these things but it appears that order matters. THANK YOU for posting this solution. My system had been working fine for years and just stopped a couple days ago. It had done this once in the past but a power reset (unplug from wall) solved the problem that time. Again, thank you for posting the solution - would really like to understand why this procedure works - what is set that gets reset and makes it work again.

It’s a huge thank you from me too, as I was having the same problem and your procedure fixed it. It would be nice to know why it re-enables it but I’ll settle for the fact it works!

Well, another vote up for @Rich Dowling.  I did have to unplug the speaker one more time to get it to work.

One question I had was "Turn HDMI control off at the TV and soundbar" Not sure what this means.  I followed the other steps. like others, I wished I knew what caused the problem and why this worked. 

I have C9 and SK8Y which worked perfectly for a year until the sound out just stopped one day. As did the ability to turn the soundboard on with the TV.   I have not re-connect any other HDMI port but for the soundbar.  I'll report back

I did these steps and it works…….but I have to do this often. TV also constantly drops the internet. I bought two LG TV’s a year ago and both have constant issues. Freezing, won’t connect to internet (fibre optic) and now these issues with my new sound bar.  I have to unplug them to reset constantly. I will never buy LG again. I never had these issues with my Samsung’s.

I am new to the forum and thought this was the closest topic to my issue. I have a LG QNED 85 smart tv with Webos. I only get stereo from my Webos apps and lg live tv with the sound set to pcm using the arc port from my LG tv to my pioneer AVR. If I set the sound to auto or passthrough I get digital noise. I have an Apple 4K tv second gen playing the Arizona prime and Apple + video apps and get 5.1 audio with the sound set to passthrough to the AVR. I also get OTA broadcast tv that gives me 5.1 audio when the sound is set to passthrough. Strangely, I get 5.1 audio from YouTube Webos app for videos that have 5.1 surround otherwise digital noise with the sound set to auto or passthrough. The tv sound out through the tv EARC port to the audio ARC port of the AVR is communicating. My AVR has only ARC capabilities. Also CEC is working with the Apple TV and AVR.  I wonder why Webos apps and LG live tv cannot use the passthrough sound settings to give me 5.1 audio?

Your a straight up Wizard my friend! ✨🧙🏽‍♂️ Just follow this magicians spell and it will fix your issue. 

I've been trying to fix this issue for months!I have LG OLED tv connected to a Marantz nr1510 receiver and I've tried everything to try and diagnose the issue.. plugging cables in and out, hard resets, soft resets, power cycles, new cords, you name it... I was ready to flip a coin and replace either the tv, or the receiver. 

Thankyou for saving me some money 🤘🏽

      Latest software update broke HDMI on my LG OLED G2?
      By OliverRC
      Up until a few days ago my TV and AVR have been working perfectly since I bought it.
      Zero hassles with HDMI and connectivity.
      Then I was prompted to update to the latest software version which I did and now often when I switch HDMI (running on 1) it picks up the device name, CEC works but I get “No Signal”… and then nothing.
      Just stays on “No Signal”. It is almost as if some HDMI handshake breaks and now the driver is in a broken state.
      I’ve found that if I hard power off and power on the device sometimes works but I don’t want to do that every time especially since it’s hard to get to the power.
      This really strikes me as a software issue with the latest update as absolutely nothing else has changed in my setup.
      I’ve tried:
      Different HDMI cables (high quality) Deep colour settings Reset the TV to factory default Different HDMI ports TV
      Model: OLED65G26LA / OLED65G26LA.HFBQLWK WebOS TV Version: 8.3.0.2301 Software Version: 13.30.56 AVR & Devices
      Marantz SR5015 Nvidia Shield Pro PS5
        The setup is the conventional AVR installation as shown in the attached file

       
      Has anyone else experienced this? 
      Is it possible to revert the software update?

      Sky News stopped working after the webOS update
      By Roy Brown
      webOS updated, I think to 2023, on my C2 a couple of days ago. Since then the News option on the Sky News app no longer works, instead timing out. The Weather and Climate options still work, though.
      I have deleted and reloaded the Sky News app, but the problem remains.
      Does anybody have any suggestions of what I might try to get this working again, or is this something for LG, or Sky, to fix?

      LG C2 Multiview with dual audio inputs
      By DW1
      Hello,
       
      I recently purchased an LG C2 65" with WebOS and I find that sometimes I want to use multiview picture-in-picture to play a video game from an HDMI input, then watch youtube in a small window. It would be nice if I could also listen to the game audio along with the youtube audio. I am thinking it would be enough to have both audio sources combined and I could adjust the volume from the HDMI device. Ideally, it would have its own mixer to set the volumes of each but that is not needed initially. Also, I wish there were move options for moving the screen around. I really like how Firefox has their picture-in-picture mode where you can move it around the screen so dynamically and change the size by dragging the window. It is nice that it can be moved around the screen, and made smaller. And probably good to have those as default movements but maybe have an option to unlock full moving of the screen.

      Problem simultaneously using hdmi soundbar and headphones in 3.5mm jack
      By hollean
      I've just purchased an OLED48 C44 LA which comes with a US 60T soundbar. I've connected the soundbar to the HDMI earc socket. Because my hearing isn't too good I'd like to also have some heaphones plugged into the 3.5mm socket so that both the hdmi earc and 3.5mm socket have sound simultaneously. I've been into accessablity menu and the listen together option doesn't appear to offer both hdmiearc and 3.5 mm simultaneously. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
      just to be clear, There is a setting which permits TV speakers plus wired external headphones. I just haven't found a setting which allows HDMI earc soundbar plus wired headphones.

      ABC Iview has stopped working on my LG smart TVs.
      By Rex G
      It starts ok but when I select a program it just sits there with the 'wheel' turning. It works ok on my phone and ipad. Have tried updating tv operating system and iview app but they seem to be at the latest version. Anyone else having problems?
