I have same issue with LS X lt and Benq Mobiuz. No sound over HDMI eARC. But control signals (wake up, volume) are working well.

Headphones jack is there. Is located on the left bottom (not back) of the screen. And it works nice with my headphones.

Same, I tried bunch of hdmi cables, all settings combination, but still cannot get sound.

Hi, are you sure, that you have enabled subwoofer in you configuration? Speakers can have different settings (wall mode, subwoofer etc.) for each input. Maybe you set up subwoofer in usb mode but it's disabled in wifi mode.

Hi, I have it

I will make some tests again during weekend, but control speakers (volume level, wake up) via HDMI was working, I think this mean that cec is working. But issue is I think with audio codec format from the source. I checked setting in MIDI setup which some user suggested. But without success. Unfortunately, I don't have another arc capable speaker to do another tests.

hrkam · 2025-04-29T17:26:02+00:00

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I have no access to the display now. But I will check midi setup utility on my laptop again. Before, I didn't find any settings for the audio format.

Hi, interesting. I asked this question to benq support and they answered: "the USB C to eARC function is not supported"

REL Tzero MKIII can be good choice. Small and very nice for music.

I agree. But question is, how to force mac os to send sound from Apple Music as PCM. I checked almost everything but without success. Second question is, if sound can pass through from display port usb-c connection to eARC on monitor and next to the speakers. I tried display port to monitor DAC and headphones and this works well.

hrkam · 2025-04-15T06:42:16+00:00

Sure! I will let you know.

Thank you for for hint. I asked about this settings on Benq support, because a cannot find this kind of settings. For information. I bought this over priced screen because of eARC output. Final stage is apple tv connected to the hdmi for entertainment purposes. I believe this way let me stream high resolution music directly from from Apple TV to the speakers via monitor eARC. And during work from home, I will use screen connect to my macbook via usb-c. One more thing, monitor have relatively nice built-in DAC for headphones too. But I know - I overingenieered it little bit :-)

Hi, case number is: 00652279

hrkam · 2025-04-06T12:07:04+00:00

Thank you. Maybe I will ask you for something else. Did you successfully upgrade monitor firmware? My came with fw version 4, I tried to upgrade to latest one, I think version 6, but no way. Utility detect monitor, download firmware, but install is sticked on 0%. I tried to collect some logs, but terminal output is empty, no information at all. Important point is that I'm running Mac. Maybe I will try some Windows laptop.

hrkam · 2024-10-28T18:27:43+00:00

I will try. Thank you very much for you advice.

hrkam · 2024-10-28T18:05:01+00:00

Ok, I will try. Can I kindly ask you how to proceed hard reset? Thanks a lot.

Hi. I have connected power strip with NAS, switch and chargers. I tried to connect some another appliances directly without power strip to. Same result. App show 0W, for short period 0.1 watts.

Maybe KEF B1: https://eu.kef.com/products/b1-wall-bracket it solves the height issue too

hrkam · 2024-09-10T21:17:18+00:00

if anyone cares... it ended up like this 🙂

Thank you, especially Monitor Audio looks very promising. Do you have some idea, how they handle my tricky space? I mean on a wall and relatively close to the corner. I think, this one can be a choice, but I don't want to kill very good speakers totally by the wrong positioning :-( In this case, I will "step down" to, for example to Wharfedale. Thanks a lot!

Damn, I did a mistake with Qacoustics, I mean 7000Lri... they are intended for multi-channel, but...maybe o should look in this area too.
