To troubleshoot sound issues with the Orei HDA-932 when connecting a soundbar to a TV's ARC HDMI port, follow these steps:
1. Ensure Proper Connections – Verify that all HDMI cables are securely connected to the correct ports on the TV, HDA-932, and soundbar. 2. Check Audio Format Compatibility – Make sure the HDA-932 audio format is supported by your soundbar. If needed, adjust the TV's audio output settings to PCM, Dolby, or Auto. 3. Select the Correct Audio Source – On your soundbar, choose the appropriate input source corresponding to the HDMI connection. 4. Power On Devices in Order – Turn on the TV, then the HDA-932, and finally the soundbar. 5. Verify TV Audio Settings – Go to your TV’s sound settings and set “Digital Audio Out” to PCM if using the 3.5mm analog output. 6. Refer to Your Soundbar’s Setup Guide – Some soundbars may require additional settings adjustments to receive ARC audio properly.
If issues persist, consult the HDA-932 manual or your soundbar’s manual for further troubleshooting.
