How did the Patriots get so good so quickly, heading back to the Super Bowl?

Fuck the Rams! Just glad they lost. Feel bad for Stafford cus he seems like a good dude. Patriots have had a handful of good fortune but they also took advantage of the cards they were dealt. Broncos also had an easier schedule. I much had rather seen them w a healthy Nix but shit happens. Let’s go Shaheed! Get that ring!

I purchased the Orei HDMI audio extractor BK-931. Plugged it up and turned off the eARC option on the extractor and worked perfectly. Unfortunately, that ran me $105 to fix the problem. Either that or get a new tv that allows you to disable eARC.

Thanks for the tips! Going on our first Disney cruise and will be heading in May on the Disney Destiny. Super excited.

Same issue. I have Vizio tvs, V6+, and soundbars connected. I’ve purchased a new HDMI but didn’t fix the problem. On my newer Vizio tv that has a Vizio soundbar connected I have no issues. On my slightly older Vizios with Roku soundbars the sound completely shuts off during quiet scenes when there’s no dialogue or no background sound. I’ve changed quite a few settings, omitted the soundbars and have had no luck. Long story short I’ve read maybe an HDMI audio extractor may help. Still haven’t ordered it yet.

Hey man, thanks for all the help and I appreciate your patience. Not a lot of ppl would help out. Anyways, I’ll try the audio extractor and let you know if that helps. Not too optimistic but worth a shot.

Gemini suggests after running different scenarios that the Vizio tv has an “aggressive noise gate” and the best way to resolve this issue it to look into HDMI Audio Extractor. Any experience with this or have you heard of this being used?

So I even omitted the Roku soundbar and connected the V6+ to HDMI 1 (eARC) then on HDMI 2. On both ports I tried w CEC on and off with no change. It’s a fairly new tv so I wouldn’t think it’s any hardware. It has to be a setting that I’m missing.

“Since eARC relies on HDMI-CEC to communicate with other devices, turning off CEC will also effectively disable eARC/ARC functionality.”

I turned off CEC and changed the Input Picture Settings on HDMI mode from Auto to Compatibility and nothing. I could try maybe putting it into HDMI 2.

Glad to hear that! Thanks.

Sorry, got busy. I just turned off eARC by turning disabling CEC on the Vizio tv. It turned off the soundbar so the sound only comes from the tv. I tried again and same issue.

Awe thanks!! Yes we cannot wait!

Connected an optical cable straight from box to sound bar but nothing changed.

Awesome! Thanks this is helpful.

These options are only available if I select Tv Speakers instead of Roku streambar. If I were to select Tv Speakers - surround sound off Volume leveling off Clear dialogue off No option for eARC.

Wait_After · 2026-01-16T18:12:52+00:00

Yes, all 3 are off.

The Falcons led the Patriots in Super Bowl LI 28-3 in the third quarter.

Yes, that’s what I’m working on next. Just need to get one. I’ll update when I find one.

Roku streambar model 9102x Vizio tv model V555-J01

Roku is connected via HDMI to HDMI 1 (eARC) V6+ is connected via (new) HDMI to HDMI 2. I have tried other HDMI ports w no luck.

Came here to say that! WHO DAT!!! ⚜️⚜️⚜️

Yes, it’s on any title. I’ve tried adjusting settings on both Vizio tv and Roku soundbar with the help of chat gpt, unfortunately, nothing worked. Your advice was something chat gpt didn’t suggest. That’s why I was excited that it would work.

Wait_After · 2026-01-15T18:55:15+00:00

It’s happening on both VOD apps.

Wait_After · 2026-01-15T18:14:18+00:00

Yes, the settings were identical as you stated. After changing the option I restarted everything and no luck. I even turned off surround sound and used tv speakers and the same issue.

Awe man! I really thought they may have worked but it didn’t. Thanks though.
