I can not get sound to my streambar with my set up when watching bluray/dvd on my projector, is there a way?
This is what I have;
Streambar
Benq projector without ARC or optical audio out. It has hdmi whiteout ARC and analogue audio out.
Blu-ray player with optical out and hdmi, but no ARC
I hooked optical audio out from bluray to streambar, and hdmi from bluray to projector. Audio comes on sound bar for a couple seconds, but when the movie starts, the audio stops.
Any ideas?
For it to work correctly with other components connected to your tv it HAS to have hdmi-arc or combination of regular hdmi and optical output on the tv. There has to be way to send audio from the tv to streambar, and you don't have one.
I turned the output on the dvd player from bitstream to PCS on the blue ray player, that got the audio to come through the streambar...but I am guessing I lost my dolby feature on the streambar by doing this? So, still interested in any feedback please if there is a more correct way to set this up.

Thank you. There is an optical out on the bluray player. It works if I set the blue ray to PCS audio output, but not bitstream. Any idea why the streambar is not accepting a bitstream optical output?
