Charlie.stl Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hi. I have the Bar 48 system with Reference surrounds added. The Switch outputs full PCM 5.1 surround only so my soundbar can't process it. Nintendo doesn't use any kind of Dolby encoders. Is it possible to get another Klipsch soundbar with an HDMI in and eARC that pairs with my sub and surrounds? I've read that going directly from the Switch to HDMI-in works, with eARC going to the TV. I really don't want to get a whole new home theater setup just so I can enjoy surround on the Nintendo. And I would also like to continue using the sub and surrounds... Any advice appreciated greatly. This is frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Can you use your TV's optical digital output? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie.stl Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 The optical doesn't handle 5.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I know the Switch has Bluetooth audio with an update last year, does that work? Does your TV have ARC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
