Hi,
I am trying to connect my Sony TV to both a sound bar and sky. I can get sky to play through the sound bar but I can’t get sky audio to come through the TV if the sound bar is off. So far, there is HDMI arc from TV to sound bar and HDMI from sky to sound bar. Does anyone have any suggestions please? This is driving me mad so I would be very grateful of any help!
Many thanks,
Mel

Hi @Mel120585
You don’t say which soundbar you have but on my Sony HT-ZF9 there is a setting on the soundbar. Home -> Settings-> HDMI Settings-> Standby Through. It allows me to put the soundbar into Standby and the sound plays through the TV speakers. Sky Q -> HT-ZF9 -> KD-55XE9305. Not that I would ever use it, I prefer the soundbar every time.
