Hello,

I just purchased an LG 65 CX and I currently have a Shield TV connected to it which I'm fairly ok with except for the fact that my Yamaha Receiver (AX3010) doesn't output 4K and I really want to get back my HD audio. First thing I did was connect to the ARC input on the TV which allowed me to at least get Dolby Digital but it's honestly pretty rough on some movies - the receiver does not have eARC, just regular ARC. 

I thought about purchasing an ARC device from HDFury but now I'm wondering if perhaps I should go with a new Windows build because I believe I can accomplish the same concept with a simple Windows machine. What I would like to do is have 4K video 60hz HDR/DV sent directly to the TV and a separate audio out (HDMI, not coax) sent to my receiver for lossless audio. Is this possible with current PC hardware? The HDFury is around $280 so I wanted to see if this may be a better solution, I have a bigger budget in mind to do a Windows build if this is achievable. 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you're looking at a $280 device for audio, and possibily a little bit more for a HTPC; why don't you just start looking at a new receiver?  My POS Denon receiver I bought in a pinch was under $300, and it's only missing Atmos and DTSHD formats.  I think the next model up had everything but Atmos (not really a thing at the time) for another $100 or so.  If you check out some of the refurb sites with a good reputation you can probably score a pretty good deal.

ARC doesn't have the best reputation.  Even when you've done everything right, it still can have issues - as you've seen yourself.  I personally wouldn't bet on eARC to be any less trouble, only because I've only had one reliable setup out of 4 attempts before giving up and upgrading a piece of equipment.

Yep - the ezcoo switch is a neat solution for this - it will split a UHD+HD Audio feed to two HDMIs - one UHD one for the TV, and a second HD scaled version with HD audio to send to your HD-only amp.

Yes, i do exactly that with a HP elitedesk SFF pc with 2 HDMI outputs, one HDMI to my TV outputting 4k resolution, and the 2nd HDMI to my reciever.

I’ve just picked up a different splitter to send Dolby vision to my LG C9 and 5.1 LPCM to my amp from 2021 ATV. Individually it all works fine however, when I plug the amp in to the splitter which isn’t Dolby vision compatible I lose DV options immediately from the ATV? Any ideas?

Does your splitter have any way of setting the mode of EDID operation ?  (The EZCOO allows you to connect to it over MicroUSB - though you need to follow the instructions on the website as the terminal program has a Chinese UI - and manually select EDIDs rather than relying on presets or lowest-common-denominator or 'follow display 1' modes.)

Thanks for all the replies and sorry for the delay, I was on vacation. I went ahead and got the ezcoo and it seems to be working quite nicely so far! Appreciate the replies.
