Hi Mary,
I think many Soundbars use the optical Toslink connection to receive
sound from the TV or a receiver. Anyhow, My Sony is I think 8 or so
years old and while it has 2 HDMI ports which data back to whatever
version of HDMI was going then, I use the optical out to connect my
Sonos Playbar and I have no issues with audio dropping out or
Voiceover being choppy.
Regards,
Sieghard

*Subject:* Re: Choppy voiceover with Apple TV
Hi Sieghard,
I am not the best person to answer that question. I found about this
arc by googling HDMI pass-through, because somebody had said, actually
I think more than one somebody, that having HDMI pass-through would
probably solve my problem. Having never heard of HDM I passed through,
I'm having no idea that a sound bar might have an HDMI input, I
learned some stuff. But precisely how it all works, I still don't
understand. It has to do with the audio somehow getting back to the
TV. And it has to do with making sure the full surround signal gets
out to the sound bar. But like I say, I really don't pretend to
understand it exactly. I do know that the old receiver we had did not
have this HDMI return, so we do have common links between the problem
now and the problem with the older TV. That is to say, no HDMI return
in either case, and relying on optical output in both cases. Different
speaker set ups completely as you might imagine, since the older set
had surround, and this is just a sound bar with the TV. So, it is just
a guess, but it seems to fit my circumstances. Sorry for the lousy answer.

Hi Mary,
What is this audio return channel supposed to do?

Well, my sound bar has no HDMI input. And it needs one to have it.
Also, I have read that if it is arc, on the HDMI it should say Ark
on the TV as in "HDMI arc" or something like that. We have three
or four HDMI ports, and none of them say that. So I therefore I
conclude I don't have it. Even if the TV had it, the sound bar not
having it is a dealbreaker. Or so I understand.

Hi Mary. How did you find out your tv didn't have this arc
audio? Just curious.

Well, having done some googling and some more reading, I
suspect the problem is that my sound bar and the TV as
well are not equipped with something called arc, audio
return channel. Bad news.

Hi Jennifer,
I have no idea how you would find that energy
saver, since we apparently don't have one. Our TV
is seven years old. It does have an Internet
connection. But it certainly isn't up to modern
standards I'm sure.

Hi Mary.
I'm using Boaz speakers. It's not surround
sound... They're actually the speakers I used
with my computer and other systems. How would
I find the energy saver in the menus I wonder?
How old is your tv? Asking because if you
don't have the energy saver, I may not either.

Hi Jennifer,
I assume you are using a sound bar of some
kind. What kind if you don't mind my
asking? Someone on another list of
suggested that they had a similar problem
with a surround sound receiver that they
were controlling from a computer. On their
computer, they were able to disablesome
kind of energy saving on their HDMI port
to which the sound source was connected.
That solves the problem. I had my cited
husband looked all through the menus on
our TV, and there does not seem to be
anyway to disable any sort of energy thing
on anything on that TV. So I would like to
hear what set ups people have who are not
experiencing this cut out thing.

I have a new Apple TV four. When
Apple TV is connected via HDMI to
our TV set and the audio goes to
the TV speakers, which are awful,
there is no problem with
voiceover. When the sound bar that
we have is connected to the TV via
digital optical cable, and there
is audio coming through it on a
more or less steady basis, such as
when playing the TV show or
something from Apple Music, and
you Errol around or use the remote
and here voiceover, there is also
no problem. It does not cut out.
When, however, there is no audio
except for voiceover, there is a
cut out problem. You can use the
remote or arrow around with a
Bluetooth keyboard, and the first
several syllables or words are
missed. So there is some kind of
delay happening somewhere
apparently within the sound bar,
which causes the first few
syllables of voiceover to be
missed when audio isn't already
being played. I hope that made
sense. I had this problem before
with a second generation TV and
surround sound system, where
things were going through an AV
receiver and the same problem
happened. What is it with this
audio cut out thing? How are
people getting around this? My
sound bar is klipsch, supposed to
be a good one. We try this on a
different older TV, and the same
thing happen. So it's not
something with our TV outputs. I
would say it is the sound bar,
except I had the same problem
before I'll be at with an older
AppleTV.
