How do I get my Samsung Soundbar to stay on HDMI?
Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI OUT port on your soundbar to your TV’s HDMI (ARC) port. Set the soundbar to D.IN mode by pressing Source on the remote or soundbar. After about 2 seconds, the source will automatically change to TV ARC.
How does HDMI pass through to the TV when the receiver is off?
This is an HDMI port on some TVs which will output audio. Then instead of hooking it up cable box -> receiver -> TV, you hook it up cable box -> TV -> receiver. When you want your surround speakers on, you turn on the receiver. If you don’t need the surround speakers, you just leave the receiver off and get sound only from the TV.
How can I Change my HDMI output device?
Your PC typically only outputs sound to one audio device at a time. If your HDMI device is not set as the default, HDMI output will be unavailable. Select your HDMI output device by setting the default device. This will change the sound to the appropriate devices.
Why does my HDMI cable keep dropping out?
The most common course for a problem is a bad connection between the HDMI cable and the device. This is common if you are plugging and unplugging the cable regularly. A simple HDMI cable tester might tell you if the cable is wrong or you can simply try another cable and hopefully this will rectify the problem and give you the image that you need.
What should I do if my HDMI is not working?
So it is important that the HDMI display’s source of input is set to the same HDMI port connected to your PC. If the input source is HDMI 1, you’ll have to connect the cable to the HDMI 1 port. If your PC and HDMI device use different cable types, you can buy and make use of adapters. First, inspect your HDMI connections.

Where does the power go on a HDMI cable?
The power carried on the HDMI cable is intended to power the internal EDID PROM inside the TV which stores the TV’s capabilities. It is not intended to power up external devices. Can using this switch which powers itself from the HDMI power cause any damage to my TV set or the HDMI port?
