When this guide applies

Direct HDMI source, known TV HDMI audio support; no claim of exclusive receiver/TV output.

Connection scope: HDMI / ARC / eARC audio. Symptom: Sound goes to the wrong output.

This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.

If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
