Streaming Audio in TX-NR626

[javauno offline]

The audio for streaming sources such as Netflix,Amazon and HULU play fine on my Samsung 4 K UHDTV speakers but when I turn on my Receiver to play though my 5.1 speaker setup the video is fine but the audio is not heard. My TV and Receiver support ARC. I am trying to setup my system to use Receiver CBL/SAT for cable audio to Home Theater System and TV/CD for Streaming audio. I wish to turn my TV on and there is cable TV without Home Theater. Then, I can select Home Theater speakers for enhanced audio for cable movies or streaming sources. The key settings now are as follows:
-Audio output on TV PCM
-TV Anynet+ enabled
-HDMI CEC/ARC on Receiver enabled
-HDMI CEC (RIHD) Off
-HDMI Through on Receiver set CBL/SAT
-HDMI/Auto Standby on Receiver OFF(on advice of prior Forum questions, same subject)
-HDMI cable from Receiver plugged into ARC port on TV
-HDMI cable from Receiver to TV is 6 feet in length

I would appreciate any help/thoughts on this situation.

My Samsung smart TV only uses its speakers or outputs exclusively. If you really want to change that setting every time you certainly can. I would suggest either using the optical output from the TV and making that a dedicated receiver input or getting a Roku ultra or equivalent and going HDMI to the receiver first assuming this model receiver can pass 4K to that awesome UHDTV. I don't know much about the ARC but I couldn't get that to work either.

Thanks for the reply. I can play the audio from broadcast or regular cable channels to my 5.1 set up through my Onkyo receiver. The audio drop only occurs when I try to run the audio from streaming channels like Netflix, Amazon & HULU. The 4K video comes through the receiver great(from the cable box to the receiver and on to the TV via HDMI). The ARC works fine also, going from HDMI 3 on the receiver into the ARC HDMI on the TV.
