Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
LG S90TR / S95TR. Both TV and bar play because WOW Orchestra is explicitly selected; bar-only output desired.
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.
Checks and possible outcomes
Start at step-0. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.
step-0
Is this a supported LG television with WOW Orchestra explicitly selected in its Sound Out menu?
Unrelated simultaneous speaker output or an unverified TV model stops here.
Look for: Confirm the actual prerequisite or observation. Stop safely if unknown.
- If Yes, confirmed → Does the exact TV manual document a separate HDMI ARC/eARC-only sound destination?
- If No → Stop at the unconfirmed condition
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-1
Does the exact TV manual document a separate HDMI ARC/eARC-only sound destination?
Do not guess an option from a different television year or brand.
Look for: Confirm the actual prerequisite or observation. Stop safely if unknown.
- If Yes, confirmed → Is the existing return-audio path already working without a cable or format change?
- If No → Stop at the unconfirmed condition
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-2
Is the existing return-audio path already working without a cable or format change?
This is an output-destination preference, not first-time TV setup.
Look for: Confirm the actual prerequisite or observation. Stop safely if unknown.
- If Yes, confirmed → Do you want television-speaker participation to stop while bar playback continues at low volume?
- If No → Stop at the unconfirmed condition
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

step-3
Do you want television-speaker participation to stop while bar playback continues at low volume?
This disables the selected dual-output experience; retain the original TV setting.
Look for: Confirm the actual prerequisite or observation. Stop safely if unknown.
- If Yes, confirmed → Use the exact TV documented Sound Out control to choose its HDMI ARC/eARC-only destination
- If No → Stop at the unconfirmed condition

step-4
Use the exact TV documented Sound Out control to choose its HDMI ARC/eARC-only destination
Leave the bar Function input and cables unchanged; do not select another simultaneous-speaker option.
Look for: Perform only the stated operation, then confirm it was possible.
- If I completed this → Does the programme now use only the intended soundbar destination?
- If I could not do this → Stop at the unconfirmed condition
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required fact is unknown

A menu name is not proof of the observed playback path.
Look for: Confirm the actual prerequisite or observation. Stop safely if unknown.
