I love my HDFury Arcana attached to my VAVA projector and Xbox Series X... Perfect combo with Monaco wireless system.

Life saver mate! Great vid, to the point and exactly what I needed. We have an older 2020 model Q90 Samsung with Arc and a new q990 11.1 sound bar (which is amazing). Had to buy the new Apple TV and sooooo glad we did! Atmos works extremely well with it, you saved us getting a new TV just for eArc. Admittedly, an 85” Sony with Dolby vision would have been a nice addition haha! Thanks again for your very helpful vids!

Great video josh 👍 thanks for the explanation

Great video 🍻 The HDFury Arcana is a great device

This is a great video. A couple of questions: my TV doesnt have Dolby Atmos support but the soundbar does. I have a PS5, Xbox Series X and Firetv 4k. I would like to get the atmos sound from all of them. My current method is to use the optical cable from the tv to soundbar with everything connecting directly to the tv so there is no confusion for me. Anyway my tv is Samsung Q70B series that according to their website has dolby digital plus. My soundbar is the Q700C. How do i connect all these and get the best sound. With my current setup I notice a big difference if i play netflix 4k movie through the xbos series X/Amazon FireTV 4k instead of directly through the TV app.

which one is the cheapest product to bypass (method 2)? fire stick? also it is possible to do it with chrome cast (with google tv 4k)

Bought the Samsung hw-q990b soundbar only to find out that my oldish LG EG910V (HD only, with HDMI 2.0 ports and ARC) wouldn't play Atmos. This issue was clearly indicated in Series S Xbox (audio related test view), but as soon as I attached the Google Tv to one of the HDMI inputs in the soundbar, the Xbox was able to verify that there is indeed Dolby Atmos available. Prior to this,I just haf to purchase either Atmos or DTS-X plugin from the store and ready to enjoy the advanced features. When I now watch dolby Atmos videos in Netflix (Ultra subscription), there is a Dolby Atmos text shown in the soundbar's display.

Right, so if you have an LG 2018 model, which has Dolby Atmos but Arc only, and want to get the true uncompressed Dolby Atmos via eArc through the use of apps such as Prime, Netflix, HBO and regular TV from your provider, it does not matter because they are streaming the compressed (DD+) version of Atmos any way? If that is correct then the only reason for wanting eArc would be for when you watch BluRays, right? Another thing, I use my apps via the LG TV directly, so it is not coming from the TV box from my internet+tv provider. Would this setup then become impossible because of the LG TV sending its own signal to the HDFury just to get it's own signal back again?

For surround sound (Sonos Beam 2, Sub Gen 3 and soon Era 300's surrounds), is the any point integrating an extractor for Dolby Atmos when using an Apple TV (latest gen) for stream TV shows & movies? Would that content be delivered in Dolby Atmos?

I just purchased the Sonos Arc with gen 3 sub and 2 ones. My TV doesn’t have EARC nor can it decode atmos. I can’t plug into the Sonos with my Apple TV 4K because both only have 1 HDMI. Is this what the fury is for that you talk about? Someone mentioned an Orei HDA-931. Is that the same thing as your fury or something different? Is one of those what I’d need to get Atmos to my Arc and then send video to tv? Thanks, and sorry for a newbie question.

Hi is it good for a optoma UST projector for dolby vision?

I have dolby Atmos LG MErdian sound bar. how will I be able to get ATMOS signals withour eARC port?

Basic question - I have ARC TV, how do I connect firestick to the soundbar to get dolby atmos experience. How should my connection settings look like? Currently, i have my firestick connected to the TV and TV connected to my bose900 through arc hdmi

How do I know best settings for Samsung Q950A hdmi earc? 0 thru 6, front speakers, rear, ect

Hi there. I got a samsung q930c and i have lg tv with arc only. By using nvidia shield tv pro would i be able to get dolby truehd atmos? Or would i also need an Arcana HD fury? Thanks in advance

Didn't quite understood you, If I have TV without Atmos support but I have the Nvidia shield, I need to connect the nvidia to the hdmi in into the sound bar, and then the HDMI out in the sound bar to the ARC in the TV ?

do you need hdmi 2.1 on a soundbar to get the best sound quality [uncompressed] dolby atmos, dolby vision 4k etc.

I have lg55sj810v which has hdmi ARC port. According to manufacturers website it doesn’t passthrough dolby atmos, only DD. I have connected firestick 4k max to tv’s hdmi 1 port and from tv’s hdmi ARC port to dolby atmos soundbar (lgsn7cy) ARC. When I stream dolby atmos content via firestick app it displays dolby atmos in the soundbar. Confused as to how did that work then? Unless my TV had an firmware update to support DD+ which I’ll need to check.

Hi. I have a doubt . I have a Tv that doesn’t have a Earc and I have Sony HY A9 sound bar that does have Earc and I bought a orei Hda 935. Can you help me how to connect properly inorder to extract Dolby atmos

Will the HD Arcana work if my tv has an ARC (not eARC) and doesn’t decode Atmos based on the manufacturer specs ? I have an Apple TV 4K and Dolby atmos soundbar but the sound bar only has one eARC port

I don't run audio anywhere near my TV. My display device has functioned only as a display monitor since about 1990. I either had satellite, cable, or internet streaming from an external device. That device plugs into my AVR or Pre/Pro. Am I the only on doing it this way?

Hi Josh, I'm evaluating two Atmos capable sound systems that both support pass-through of the TV images from an Amazon Firestick MAX. My problem is that one of the soundbars only has one HDMI ARC port. As I'll need the HDMI port to connect my Firestick, can I use the Optical connector to pass-through pictures to my TV or is there some kind of HDMI Splitter switch that'll allow me to double-up on my use of the soundbar's single HDMI ARC port? I'd also like to connect a 3rd HDMI device to my setup, a Blueray player, if possible. Many thanks for any replies.

Hi everyone. I have a problem figuring out if I can get Dolby atmos out of my tv with eArc. I have the Amazon Omni series, with each, if I get a soundbar with Dolby atmos and an HDMI eArc in port. will I get Dolby atmos?

I'm in this situation, I've bought a Hisense A7GQ TV and a Samsung Q700B soundbar The TV support Dolby atmos, have eARC and support dolby digital plus BUT it doesn't support Dolby TrueHD The Soundbar support atmos, eARC and TrueHD With DD+ Atmos content I get no problem, but I wanna see content with TrueHD Atmos but the soundbar obviously don't get the TrueHD Atmos but only the DD+ with NO atmos because the TV is not compatible with TrueHD What can I do to see my file in a DLNA server with TrueHD Atmos?

Hello very nice video I have one lg tv UM7110PLB( only arc) When i see by the app built in the tv app Netflix shows the movies that have dolby atmos and my soundbar( earc atmos) says when i play it dolby atmos But when i connect my tv box to the tv then the app Netflix for the box doesn’t shows dolby atmos neither on app or my soundbar Also my soundbar doesn’t have hdm in And if i want to watch from stremio can i have dolby atmos? Thanks in advance

Thanks for vid bro. How about Chromecast Google tv 4K? I have a Google tv. Can I do the same as you said about Apple TV to get Dolby Atmos?

can it work if the netflix from tv apps and not apple tv ?

Is there a reason why a simple HDMI splitter shouldn't work? The Arcana looks like just a glorified HDMI splitter...

my tv is only ARC if i get an earc soundbar will i still get Dolby TRUhD?

My tv says Dolby audio but has an earc and I bought a Sonos arc will that play Dolby atmos?

Can i play atmos movies from hard disk on firetv 4k? can firetv send atmos to my samsung q950a? not from netflix/amzaon from external downloaded file..

I find eARC is really unnecessary and causes issues . Apps can easily be heard /viewed from a 4K Firestick plugged into the receiver. My major issue with eARC is that it works with HDMI control . I’ve found HDMI control turned on can actually make your receiver turn on in the middle of the night by itself ! Disabling HDMI control fixed the issue . I’m a bit old fashioned and prefer to turn on my devices individually by myself and just change the receiver input selection . Having the tv remote control every device is never as flexible or comprehensive as having the dedicated remote for each device with specific buttons tailored for the specific device

Hi Josh. Thanks to you, I am now getting atmos in our Q930B on OTT platforms using firestick TV 4k max. I have also bought a splitter and connected a hard disk to Firestick. But it looks like VLC doesn't support Atmos. Which media player do I install in firestick to watch Atmos content from Hard disk? Could you please suggest, thanks

Hey there, I came across your video after a long research, your video has been a lot of help, but I just want to be sure about one thing, I hope you can help me. Recently I have purchased a "Smart Monitor" 43 inch Samsung M7 (ls43bm700uuxuf) which has HDMI ARC and supports Dolby Digital+, I have ordered the Q700B Samsung sound bar which supports Dolby atmos and has eArc HDMI, and HDMI INPUT On my gaming PC I have a couple of movies which has Dolby TrueHD and I was wondering if I connect my Soundbar to my PC through (HDMI INPUT ports) not the "Arc labeled ones" and then connected my PC to my Monitor with another HDMI cable through HDMI IN ports to playback the video, will it be possible to achieve a Dolby TrueHD? Also I have Display port 1.4 there are cables which on one end have a 1.4 displayport and on the other 2.1 HDMI would that do any good, or are they meant for other purposes... Thank you in advance!

OK my TV is 2017 Panasonic TH-50EX730Z and only has ARC. It doesn't support Atmos but does have Dolby Digital Plus. However should I be able to get Atmos through Netflix onboard TV App if I connect the TV ARC port to the my new Samsung Q800B Soundbar eARC In port? As you said Netflix and other streaming services seem to only stream Atmos as Dolby Digital Plus. It says Dolby Digital Plus in the soundbar display when I play an Atmos movie. Thus I assume Im getting Atmos but a compressed version of it??? Also do I really need a 2.1 HDMI cable if the streaming service is compressed Atmos? I bought a 2022 Apple 4K TV box too. As my TV doesn't support eARC should I connect the Apple TV to the HDMI IN on the soundbar and then the eARC port on the soundbar to the TV ARC? Is this your Method 2??? Netflix also say the TV has to support Atmos to get their movies in that format as well as the sound system. Whilst I see Atmos on the Amazon Prime movie titles that have it Netflix just says 5.1. Im hoping with the Apple 4K TV box Ill get the Netflix titles showing Atmos. Otherwise I think I will need a new TV?????? Also the cable that came with the Q800B says High Speed HDMI. It doesn't have any other marks. How do you know if the cable is HDMI 2.1? Many thanks from Turangi, NZ.

i am confused of what you said, you says that arcana is for sound bar that doesn’t have hdmi input, now how can i connect arcana to sound bar if the soundbar has no hdmi port?

I bought a firestick and connected to my projector through hdmi port but I am not getting dolby atmos. What can I do? 😊

I mostly want 24bit audio from my TV since I listen to KZfaq music, for music videos, and I use Amazon music unlimited from my TV. What are my options?

I've got a Denon 2113 but is only capable for 4k 30hz passthrough. So I thought no biggie just use Arc. Problem there is that the tv does see the Denon but the Denon refuses to play the audio. I've got a LG C1 that can do Dolby... So now I've got a optical cable running from the tv but without atmos... Guess I'll need a new receiver

Hi there! Can I send a lossles atmos signal from my tvs aARC out to a regular HDMI in on my atmos enable receiver?

Just a right time for a right vid. My Samsung TV is JU6400 from 2015 which is not support Atmos. So I bought Samsung Soundbar N850 which is Atmos supported. Then I bought Chromecast which is now support Atmos too. By connected Chromecast to N850, and N850 to TV via ARC I assume that I can use Atmos now because the icon of Atmos shown on Netflix. Now is my question. My TV sound settings was set to INPUT=Bitstream and OUTPUT=PCM (Only PCM and DTS NEO 2.5 can be selected). I just curious that as the audio pass through from Chromecast to Soundbar directly, all the sound settings on my TV will become ineffective, right? Especially the output settings which I still not yet understand why Dolby was greyed out.

Does the apple box get plugged into any HDMI or does it have to be the earc/arc one. In the video u didnt plug it into the earc connection.

Great video mate! I've got a quick question...Let's say your TV is Dolby Atmos compatible, and you use the inbuilt apps to stream movies/TV. You then output sound to your Dolby Atmos soundbar via ARC/eARC. Given that all streamed content uses Dolby Digital Plus for Atmos (not Dolby TrueHD), is the added bandwidth of the eARC being utilised at all here? (as opposed to just ARC?) My understanding is that from a Dolby sound perspective, the additional bandwidth from the eARC is only needed for Dolby TrueHD. I.e. DD+ runs just fine (at it's full intended quality) using just ARC. Is that right?

Awesome information! So, if I mainly use my Xbox Series X (which does support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos), then I should be good to go if I just hook up my Dolby Atmos soundbar/surround sound to my tv and use my Xbox for streaming/gaming? My tv does not support eARC, but does have an ARC input, but the tv itself does not have/support Dolby Atmos. Thanks in advance!

I was having a hard time getting Atmos aa I think it was the bitstream setting on my Google TV.

I have a very complex problem. My TV only has ARC and that over the HDMI 1 port. If i connect my fire tv with the soundbar directly i get atmos but the hdr quality is not good. The tv shows me that i should connect to the hdmi 2 or 3 to get optimal HDR quality. If I connect the Fire TV to the HDMI 2 port i also get atmos but it sounds underwhelming. So if I connect the soundbar with the ARC port and the fire tv directly with the soundbar the sound is perfect. And if I connect the soundbar with the ARC port and the fire tv with the HDMI port 2 or 3 from the TV the picture quality is perfect but the sound is underwhelming. I have the Samsung q800b as soundbar and the TV is Philips 50PUS6503/12. I would be glad if anyone could help me with this problem. I thought that i could connect the soundbar with the HDMI 2 or 3 port with the TV and the fire tv directly with the soundbar. But the HDMI 2 and 3 port both don't have ARC (only HDMI 1 has that).

Dear friend my sony tv support only ARC And i have JBL 9.1 SOUND BAR which is support Arc and Earc. Pls guide for Atmos sound

My TV is only support Dolby MS12 (Dolby Audio) and there is only hdmi arc not earc. Do you think i experience Dolby Atmos with my Dolby Atmos Soundbar?

I have a Sony AV receiver STR DH590 and when i go to see setting in my apple tv 4k i don’t see dolby atmos

Hey Josh, I just bought an Anker Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K, it only comes with HDMI 2.0, USB, and an AUX port. I have the Sony HT-A7000, I am looking but can't find a proper way to get Dolby Atmos (since I don't have eARC). Would be possible to get it with the HDFury?

The stream platforms now have also Dolby Atmos

Yeah the arcana is perfect I wasn’t going to fork out more cash to get a TV with earc considering my TV still works perfectly fine, so the arcana was easily the best solution the only thing thoug you have to be aware that it requires firmware updates, I learned this when Sonos introduced DTS codec to its sound bar and my Xbox series x wasn’t recognising it.

are you planning to create more detailed video on this? Here is my setup 1. Bose 900 Sound Bar 2. Apple TV 3. HDFury Arcana 1. HDMI cable from Apple TV will go to HDFury Input (HDMI IN) 2. HDMI Cable from Bose 900 will go to the HDFury Output (eARC OUT) 3. HDMI Cable from TV will go the HDFury Output (HMDI OUT)

My tv doesnt have atmos, so.. i have a tv without atmos, with hdmi arc and a soundbar with atmos. What should i do to get atmos?

I am having QLED TV supporting Dolby Atmos , Dolby Audio and DTS having 3 HDMI ports one of it is HDMI(ARC) , I am planning to Buy Samsung Q990B sound bar , Can i get full dolby Atmos effect on sound bar with my current TV HDMI ARC port ?

Hi there. I’m planning to get a Samsung Q990b, but I have a 2018 Samsung tv with Arc port. By using Apple TV 4K would I be able to get Dolby atmos? Or would I also need an Arcana HD fury? Thanks in advance

Hey what can i do if my TV has eARC but my receiver just ARC?

Hi Josh, so buying an Apple TV streaming device will help to receive atoms if my tv only have arc port and my soundbar have earc port and support atoms?

I had problem with jbl 9.1 soundbar and Netflix etc didn't show "atmos", but i had digital output in "pcm" so i changed it "automatic" and now it works just fine 👌🏻👍🏻

Please help, my TV is a Samsung Cu8000 which supports earc, and I have a hwb650 soundbar which only supports arc, not earc. In your opinion, if I use HDMI Arc 2.1 (not using the Samsung cable) will my soundbar and TV experience significant noise? Because samsung cable original just hdmi 2.0

Atmos seems to drive everyone nuts. I have a 2017 Samsung Mu8500 TV. It doesnt seem to find any Atmos on Paramount+. It DOES stream Atmos from Prime, but no movies other than those made by Prime (actually mainly series like Wheel of Time and The Rings of Power). I cannot find any info as to why this is, and its driving me nuts. Connection is regular arc, receiver is Yamaha rx-a780. Why does everything with atmos seem so randomly messed up?

What if tv having arc HDMI but the 2.1 don't have

You probably should have mentioned that while plugging my Apple TV into the soundbar gives me Atmos, it does so at the cost of giving up 4K video on the device

I get Dolby Atmos on Ark Passthrough

My E-ARC port on my soundbar is broken, how do I get the atmos to work without having the port available to be plugged into.

i intend to buy samsung q930b soundbar which has dolby atmos, my tv has dolby atmos, but my tv (tcl c715) does not have eArc, only arc, what do i need to do to get atmos through my soundbar, is that arkana gonna help me with this? where do i connect it on my tv, on normal arc? i need this stuff explained a little simpler, youtubers here explain this stuff like they talk to the experts....experts already know how to do it, been watching videos and reading all over on differences between arc and earc, dolby atmos and all other shit but not one single person explains it in simple terms so that a person who knows nothing about it understands, which is basically, is the sound that much better and noticable with earc or arc, answer to that question cant be find ANYWHERE

Is there a way to connect a Sonos soundbar to a PC running HDfury Arcana? My idea is to connect the soundbar to a monitor, not a TV. If I want to watch content from various streaming platforms I read that web browsers do not allow me to get dolby atmos. If I get a chromecast TV, for example, and connect it to HDMI in, and the monitor and sound bar to HDMI out, can I "transform" the monitor into a smart TV to see the content in optimal sound quality?

Isn't that the visualisation of 7.1.4 system? 0:02

Hı. I have a 4k Android TV box with HDMI eARC 2.1 output at my home. If I start a soundbar with Dolpy Atmos feature, will Dolpy Atmos work?

ok.. don't disturb. he is having his nap.. see you soon

MY QLED HAS ARC HOW TO CONECT DOLBY ATMOS

But isn’t the Arcana not necessary if the soundbar has 4K passthrough? Can't you just connect your Blu-ray player directlybto the soundbar, then the soundbar to the TV?

My tv has arc and Samsung soundbar has earc and my lg tv supports dolby atmos. My soundbar displays dolby atmos when i connect the tv arc to the soundbar earc. And firestick is connected directly to the tv to another hdmi port. This means if the tv supports atmos but has arc and if connected to earc of the soundbar it will pass atmos.

I also have The Samsung NU8000 WITHOUT DolbyAtmos and WITHOUT eArc. But i can get Atmos with The Arcane?

How about Bluetooth?

So the only way to get Dolby Atmos via ARC is to buy an ApplTV or similar? I was hoping for a solution that didn't involve spending money… maybe it doesn't exist.

Quick question for anyone who wants to answer. So I’m planning to get Sony AT-A7000 Sound Bar and I have LG Oled B7 which has ARC due to being made in 2017, also I have a Sony X800M2 4k Blu-ray player. The question is do I need a 2.0 or 2.1 HDMI cable to connect my 4k Blu-ray player to Sony Sound Bar to get True HD Dolby Atmos?

BEWARE! You don't get dolby atmos when you plug in APPLE TV 4K(2022) directly to SAMSUNG Q990B. You just get multi-chanel pcm although I changed sound mode to 16bit on apple tv 4k. And you can't connect them through bluetooth for some reason. Neither Samsung nor Apple could solve the issue.

Do you need strong wifi to get movies in Dolby Atmos?

Forget atmos 5.2 is much better

umm no

I think this video is not right, I'm getting Atmos without any issue on ARC.

250 dollars for the Arcana? Just buy a tv with ARC and Dolby Atmos instead lol

Not trying to be a Dck but after 1:25 you went too fast like a nerd. i had to play 0.5x to understand

Thank you for your vid. I have a Samsung ARC tv and a Sony HT-A9 Dolby Atmos Home Theatre. Can the Arcana use my apps that reside on my tv such as Netflix, Prime Video etc and convert the sound in eARC to my Sony HT? In other words can I connect the Arcana to reside between my ARC Tv and my home theatre and give me Atmos sound?

What if your tv does not have ARC?

Going to fast

My tv has hdmi arc but no earc, i have a soundbar that has earc, can i play my downloaded atmos video lossless through my macbook m1 to my soundbar and the visual in my tv..?😊
