HDMI ARC making Soundbar System unresponsive

by venky61

I recently bought a JBL 5.1 soundbar system and when I am connecting it to TV through HDMI ARC port, the system becomes unresponsive. No button or remote works nor sound output. The same setup is working with my other TV of same brand. I am confused how a HDMI connection can cause this. Could it be due to any leakage current or TV's port issue. I used FireStick from the same HDMI port of TV and it's working, so not sure what could be the reason.

Try a higher quality hdmi cable. Not all HDMI cables are the same. I had a similar problem. Worked for me
