HDMI ARC vs HDMI AUDIO OUT - Android TV General

In my tv no hdmi arc but support HDMI Audio out . what is the difference. And audio pass through missing after the update. Is any third party app for HDMI CEC for audio passthrough.

Are you saying your TV has a dedicated hdmi audio out? ARC stands for Audio Return Channel and it's the technology that can send audio through the same hdmi cable that is carrying video from a different source. In other words, you can pass video and audio to the tv, or the tv can pass audio back to the other device as well. This prevents the need from a second connection to pass audio from the TV when the TV is independently displaying content

tv out

i'd like to connect my arc to my tv..but..it doesn't have hdmi input.
is there a way to connect the phone to tv?maybe an adaptor or something?
or I could use 3.5mm to RCA TV out cable,does arc have tv out through 3.5mm jack?
Thank you so much
There are HDMI to Composite/RCA converters, but for that price, you can get a cheap HDMI equipped telly.. (starting at around 80 Euro)
no -it can output via HDMI or for media you can use the media server app to stream directly to a DLNA receiver.. assuming that your TV doesn't have that built in.. however.. if you've got a PS3 that will. Xbox might (not sure about that.. just guessing!) and a lot of blueray players will too..

No surround sound using the HDMI output.

I just used the TF for outputting HDMI to my TV and noticed that no sound outputs to my home theatre system.
When I plug the laptop to the HDMI port to view videos I get HDMI output, I'm wondering if there is some setting on the TF that I'm missing.
EDITED To ADD: The home theatre was messed up....my son hit the wrong button....all is well...
It outputs stereo, so depending on your stereo system you might have to set it in stereo mode.

Yeah, without the ability to decode DTS or AC3 streams, the TF won't output in true surround sound. It will just do stereo for now.

4k no sound hdmi cable

1080 and 720 sound on but when switch to 4k no sound. If connect headphones sound on headphones but not on tv. TV is Techwood 40AO2USB 40" Smart 4K Ultra HD TV.
Not having sound on a fancy TV, that sucks. Did you try to swaps ports on the TV?
My MOJO was doing that while on 1020p. It worked when I switched with another hdmi input.
I tried all 4 ports
I connect Bluetooth speakers to get sound

Shield TV "Full UHD" on 2017 Vizio M - no signal

I was following the calibration settings on rtings for my new M75-E1.
In the input menu, if you intend to play HDR movies via a UHD Blu-ray player of HDR video game via a console, it is important to turn on the 'Full UHD Color' option for the HDMI port 1. This allows HDMI port 1 to transmit at full HDMI bandwidth and if not turned on, your external device may not recognize the TV as being HDR compatible. Note that only HDMI port 1 can transmit the full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth.

However, I'm getting a no signal when I turn on "Full UHD Color" for HDR on the TV.
My setup:
nvidia shield tv -hdmi-> avr (denon sw720) -hdmi arc-> TV

Shield tv is connected to 3-Media Player on the avr and then hdmi out to TV via the "monitor arc". I'm using the recommended HDMI profile in shield - 3840 x 2160 59.940Hz YUV 420 8-bit Rec.709.
Is this a shield, vizio, or denon avr issue?
Only HDMI1 is UDH Compatible and must be enabled for it to work.
Also, I would first connect your shield directly to the TV to make sure it all works before you introduce the AVR

Sony Android TV - USB audio support

I use a Sony KD-49XH8096 Android TV which, officially, supports the following audio signal output options:
- analog audio via 3.5 mm jack output
- digital audio via digital optical (Toslink) output
- digital audio via HDMI ARC/eARC output
The TV also has the following USB ports:
- USB 2.0 High Speed port
- USB 3.1 Super Speed port
I want to connect the TV to a Topping E50 DAC with built-in preamplifier, using the USB ports available on the Sony Android TV.
On the TV I enabled the developer mode and the "disable all audio routing to USB devices" option is disabled (as it should be).
If I connect the DAC to the TV USB 2.0 port, the audio signal is routed to the DAC, but the sound is full of "click and pop" artifacts. The volume can be controlled by the TV remote control inside the Android applications, but it can't be controlled by the TV remote control when in TV broadcast mode.
If I connect the DAC to the TV USB 3.1 port, the signal is routed to the DAC and the sound is perfectly rendered, without any "click and pop" artifacts. The volume can be controlled by the TV remote control inside the Android applications, but it can't be controlled by the TV remote control when in TV broadcast mode.
I opened a support case on Sony support Europe and their answer was as follows:
"Regarding your request, the TV has the possibility to play the sound through its built-in speakers, or through external devices connected to the TV via HDMI, optical or Bluetooth cable.
Functionality with other third-party devices, and with developer mode enabled, cannot be guaranteed. This is not normal use of the Sony device."
It seems that Sony don't endorse USB audio playback and don't care about offering or improving support for this capability, although the Android OS running on their TVs has the capability to work with USB audio devices.
I made the suggestion that Sony could and should improve support for class compliant USB audio devices (at least for stereo digital audio).
Sony answer was as follows:
"As you were told in one of the previous emails, the sound can be played on the TV speakers, or via external devices, but not via USB.
If you believe that your device has a defect, the only thing we can recommend is to have this device diagnosed by a repair center."
As you can see, Sony keeps to their policy and doesn't seem to care too much about offering or improving support for USB audio devices on their Android TVs.
