Sony Bravia Android TV - USB Microphone issues

by sikriffs1

HDR content from Netflix and Amazon Prime Video will not play when I have a USB mic. connected. Video loads to 24% on Netflix, then hangs there indefinitely. Prime video just won't play. Non-hdr streams play fine.

I've tried different USB mics, same issue. Problem immediately goes away when mic is disconnected.

Strange problem that took awhile to realize a mic being connected is the cause. I have no idea how to fix this. Any help is appreciated.

Trying to use the usb mic for Google assistant as the Harmony remote doesn't have a mic.

At any stage have you tried to reboot the TV and try playing back this content right after? Do you also have a Sound bar or AVR connected? Just curious as these specific symptoms sound like what I have been consistently running into and is more related to being connected to an AVR and trying to bitstream multichannel audio. Though I also have a webcam attached purely for the purpose of using the mic so I may have to try disconnecting it and see how it fares.
