However, to make this happen, you must turn on the external audio device before connecting the optical cable. 'If you connect an external audio device using an optical cable, the Sound Output setting is automatically changed to the connected device.

No solution will ever be made either, so don’t look for one. My old LG tv about 10 years old, no matter what HDMI port I plug into, sends sound to my home theater receiver, and there’s no such thing as anynet to be found, or an ARC port. I bought this tv two weeks ago, for 1100 dollars, and honestly, I don’t want it but I can’t take it back, so it’s going into the closet until I can find someone to buy it.

However, anytime I have anynet enabled, my home theater works, but, I get hiccups in sound randomly whenever it feels like it… usually at the most important parts of a dialogue, so I rewind to hear what they said.

The second I disable anynet, the tv speakers turn on and my home theater receiver becomes a really expensive home decor piece. Which also means, I must have anynet turned on at all times. It will not send the sound to the receiver unless it is connected to the ARC port. I have my home theater receiver connected to my tv, and the only port it will allow me to connect it is on the HDMI ARC port.
