However, when changing the volume (up or down) the audio drops for a second and then resumes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I've been doing some reading and I believe I may have found why this is happening. The C9 is eARC, but my AVR isn't. The file I played was TrueHD, yet it played as Dolby D+. Could this be the reason of this sound dropout when changing volume? My C9's eARC (HDMI#2) is connected to my AVR's MAIN OUT (not eARC). Considering that I'm not using the AVR to process any video, am I better off connecting the C9's eARC HDMI cable to any of my AVR's HDMI inputs instead of the MAIN OUT? This way, the full HD audio is passed.
