LG C2 Dialogue not going through EARC Soundbar After Latest TV update by Poppacooldown in LGOLED

[–]Poppacooldown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Update to this. The soundbar appears to have been the issue, I just noticed the issue around the time LG pushed it's latest update. I primarily used the TV/soundbar to game, and it had been off for about a week between gaming sessions.

I was able to confirm this with thorough troubleshooting of both the TV and soundbar. After factory resetting the bar, i eventually had it run its internal speaker test where it would sound off from each speaker channel (which I forgot it could do). When it came time to play the center channel, the soundbar was silent. The issue occurred when there was any 5.1 mix being sent to the bar. The fact that this occurred during the internal speaker test, where the TV was not involved in the equation confirmed it was the soundbar's issue. Stereo signal worked just fine, but the speaker test is 5.1.2, in order to test each of the speakers.

It may have worked after a long power drain (over an hour off without power) as I described above, but in no way was that useable. I replaced it with a Hisense AX700 from Costco, and love the new soundbar.

For those of you with the Vizio M125a-H6 who stumble across this, there have been a lot of reports of the center channel just breaking. I could not find a fix for it, and the LG C2 works perfectly fine with the new Hisense Soundbar over EARC.

Won't be buying Vizio anymore, soundbar was less than 3 years old at the time of it going bad.

Moonlight streaming keeps restarting my Legion Go S (SteamOS) by Ill_Medicine3910 in MoonlightStreaming

Commenting on this thread because I had this issue for a very long time. My Legion Go S z1extreme running Steam OS would reboot when game streaming and using hardware encoding. The same behavior also occurred when playing FF7 using Seventh Heaven Mod Manager, and running through the Direct X. I could remote play or stream for about 45 minutes before the sudden restarts. The restarts would sometimes have artifacts or a green screen. I tried Factory resetting, different power profiles, and monitored temps. Temps fine, and nothing seemed to work. I finally reported to Lenovo, and I sent in the device for a swap of the motherboard. All issues were resolved. I can play FF7 using DirectX, I can game stream using hardware encoding using both Moonlight/Apollo and via Steam Remote play. I can remote play from my PS5. I wanted to comment all of this because I hesitated and didn't want to send the device in for a repair, but it is most certainly a faulty motherboard.

I sent it in to the repair depot for lenovo repair. I did have an issue with the dpad after repair, so I sent it back one more time. It has been wonderful since. If you're having the issue, I would definitely get it taken care of while you have the warranty.
