| [18:11:44] | hdt551: | Has anyone used a HDMI pass-through (I think that is what it is called) to a soundbar? |
| [18:12:23] | hdt551: | That is, the sound goes over HDMI, into a soundbar which then connects to the TV with HDMI. |
| [18:13:16] | hdt551: | I am using the TV speakers now and speech is rather hard to understand. |
| [18:16:41] | mack-: | hdt551: unless someone is going the wireless route for their soundbar, I think the HDMI audio return is the standard modern way of connecting |
| [18:17:26] | hdt551: | Yes, I am connecting mythtv to the TV with HDMI only. |
| [18:17:31] | mack-: | Unless you set the soundbar into a mode for using the TV speakers as Center Channel, turn the speakers of the TV off. |
| [18:17:48] | hdt551: | I just want to make sure I understand that a soundbar can work that way. |
| [18:18:20] | hdt551: | I was hoping to turn the TV speakers off and just use the soundbar. |
| [18:18:26] | mack-: | but even then, unless you have a very (very) nice TV, the speakers on it are crap, and they shouldn't be set as center channel |
| [18:18:48] | hdt551: | It is a very ordinary TV. |
| [18:18:58] | mack-: | yes, turning off the TV speakers is the preferred method for using a soundbar |
| [18:20:03] | mack-: | There should be a setting to turn off the speakers even on the most basic TV in Audio Settings in the TV Setup |
| [18:20:52] | hdt551: | Yes, the Audio can be turned off in the TV settings. |
| [18:21:39] | hdt551: | So a soundbar will usually have a HDMI input and an output to send it on to the TV? |
| [18:22:24] | hdt551: | I looked at some on amazon with HDMI but it didn't actually say it can pass it on to a TV. |
| [18:22:29] | mack-: | all the recent ones I've seen do. The port is usually labelled ARC (Audio Channel Return) |
| [18:22:33] | hdt551: | (soundbars) |
| [18:23:18] | mack-: | oh, I thought you had a soundbar already with TV speakers going and were having trouble understanding speech :) |
| [18:24:00] | hdt551: | No, sorry. I do not have a soundbar and am wondering how it can be hooked up with HDMI. |
| [18:24:08] | hdt551: | And still get the picture to the TV. |
| [18:24:53] | hdt551: | It sounds like this is a very normal thing to do. |
| [18:25:39] | mack-: | yes, that is the standard way |
| [18:26:47] | hdt551: | Excellent, thank you very much. |
| [18:28:48] | mack-: | the caveat is your TV must support. |
| [18:29:12] | mack-: | but most recent devices do |
| [18:30:56] | hdt551: | Yes, I will check that (very useful to know the name, ARC). |
| [18:31:13] | mack-: | If it doesn't, one would simply connect a TOSlink or digital coax connection back up to the TV out for the audio only (and turn off TV speakers) |
| [18:32:06] | hdt551: | And that sound probably the carry the dolby 5.1 or whatever it is? |
| [18:32:55] | hdt551: | rephrase: And that connection would carry the dolby 5.1 or whatever it is? |
| [18:33:39] | mack-: | it's all digital, so yes |
| [18:33:45] | hdt551: | Great. |
| [18:33:46] | mack-: | https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/RRgitXtGfyw . . . 4-650-80.jpg for reference |
| [18:34:39] | clever: | my tv has both analog (rca stereo) and digital (rca once more) audio outputs, that follow whatever input is currently selected |
| [18:34:50] | clever: | but at least the analog output, turns off when you mute, or set the tv volume to 0 |
| [18:34:56] | clever: | so you must keep the tv volume at 1 |
| [18:35:34] | clever: | there is also a "theater sync" button, that talks to the sound-system over hdmi, and lets the tv volume controls affect the sound-system instead, and that will mute the tv without muting its output |
| [18:35:43] | clever: | but thats not ARC, just cec control |
| [18:36:43] | mack-: | I don't have much experience with basic TVs, but https://www.lifewire.com/audio-return-channel-1846845 seems to indicate some TV manufacturers may scrimp on audio channels, lol |
| [18:37:41] | hdt551: | I believe my TV is from about 2009 so at least I know what check for. |
| [18:39:54] | mack-: | HDMI 1.4 (first version capable of ARC) was first availble in 2009. You might be running two cables for a basic TV. |
| [18:40:41] | hdt551: | At least there is hope. :-) |
| [18:41:48] | mack-: | but to answer your first, most basic question: yes, soundbars are primarily designed to replace the crappy TV speakers. |
| [18:55:18] | hdt551: | I appreciate all the information. |
