eARC not working suddenly

TCL 65” Series 6. I have the Sonos Beam connected to the TV via ARC. Also connected: appletv. This has worked perfectly for 2 years. 

This week, I plugged in a DirecTV Gemini Air into the side HDMI port. This worked for about a week. The past few days, not so much. I get sound. That is fine. But the TV will lose the ability to control the volume. I either have to reboot the TV, or rescan CES. It happened twice tonight. From previous posts from, checks notes, two years ago (!!) people said there was a bug if you had multiple HDMI plugged in. Excuse me? Has this been figured out? It’s a **bleep** experience.

      They do not handle the firmware and told me this was a firmware issue. So ball is back with you.
