How to set the TV audio format?
To connect multiple devices to your TV, two available types, Input and Output, are considered. Input devices transmit audio to your TV. These include Blu-ray players, game consoles, and Set-top boxes. The Output devices receive sound from a TV. These include surround sound speakers, soundbars, and headphones. Depending on the device type, the correct audio format must be selected. Before setting up, review your devices, their functions, and the method of connection to choose the correct format.
The Digital Output Audio Format Setting is the output format that receives sound from the TV, a soundbar, home theater system, or headphones. If you are not using one of these, you do not need to change this setting.
Step 1. Navigate to Home and open Settings.
Step 2. Tap All Settings.
Step 3. Tap Sound.
Step 4. Choose Expert Settings.
Step 5. Select Digital Output Audio Format.
Step 6. Choose from the options of Digital Output Audio Format.
If you select the Auto option, the audio device outputs automatically in a supported format.
If you select the Pass-Through option, the audio data is output with no processing.
Note: The Pass-Through option is activated only when an external device is connected. (STB/OTT, etc.)
For the devices supporting eARC, you can consider the HDMI eARC Mode. Muting occurs temporarily during device connection.
