Thank you! The tip to select “Settings > Audio Output > eARC (HDMI 4)“ on my TCL 75R655 despite not having an eArc device (my receiver only has optical audio support) resulted in Dolby Digital audio suddenly working.
And I’m also running only an optical cable directly from TV output to my receiver. You’re a lifesaver, @johnfbraun!
Thanks for the response, @Gs8883.

My TCL S43S453 was giving Dolby audio through the optical output, when updating to version 13.1 it doesn't give audio, only through the TV speakers. Do you currently have audio via optical?

My TCL TCL model: 435453 has a Chromecast with Google TV and the cable TV decoder connected. It sent the audio via optical output to my old Pioneer VSX D409 without any problem. When it stopped working, I tried the different modes, for example PCM stereo sound, without success. I restarted and restored the TV, disconnected the devices and connected only the receiver, without any positive results. I bought an audio extractor to extract the sound via ARC, but that didn't work either.
Thanks for the response, @Gs8883.

I have already contacted technical support and they asked me for a photo of the labels on the TV, I sent them and they have not responded.
