Remember to set the Audio Format (Priority) in the Sound --> Audio Output --> General settings and set it to Linear PCM. You'll be surprised but this is actually the best output format to get out of your PS5.
Both Dolby and DTS use a lossy format. So you will lose a bit of the sound information. PCM format is lossless. Therefore, no compression and is the best way to enjoy the sound from your games.
Also, by choosing Linear PCM, your AVR won't have to do any decoding vs using Dolby and DTS. Therefore, this format will give you the lowest amount of audio latency too. You can try this out by changing to PCM, try to move up and down in the PS5 menus and hear how fast the sound effect comes in response to your navigation presses. And now change to Dolby and try again. See how much slower the sound comes.


And as for answering your question, if your TV and AVR only supports ARC and not eARC, then unfortunately, you must use Dolby or DTS. I recommend DTS. It has the fastest decoding vs Dolby.
If there is still no sound, it is probably because you have used this HDMI port on your TV for some other device correct? Shut off the power from the wall for your PS5, TV and AVR. Unplug the HDMI. Let it rest for about 10 to 15 mins and try again. This method is to ensure that the EDID information is refreshed as all the 3 devices will have to re-share their EDID information with one another.

just changed to 55cx recently and using existing yamaha yas108 with arc connection but sometimes when turn on tv, the sound does not come out from my soundbar although the tv is still showing the arc connection still valid

using elecom 1m hdmi cable and most of the time need to unplug hdmi cable again or power off everything and turn back on to get back the sound again

so can try the method of powering off all devices and unplug hdmi 2 and wait for 10 to 15 mins?

"Sorry for the wait.

We received an update that your order is with a new delivery courier, of which there'll be no dispatch email and we would like to assure you that your PS5 will be delivered today. At the same time, we understand that your controller is scheduled for delivery from next week.

Have a great weekend ahead."

Their communication too. I got it yesterday around 3pm but following up to it there was zero information. Then as other bros here pointed out Also, the CSO just gave template reply saying that more information will be made available.

Only info was Wednesday 3pm i received email saying order dispatched. But seems like they didn't give priority to 1st batch as some 2nd batch got it earlier than 1st batch like bro XSeanX who was 1st batch

Has anyone experienced crashes or consoles getting 'bricked'? I got mine yesterday, played 8 hours and installed some ps4 games, no crashes or glitches. I think the US first wave is damn jialat after watching their fail videos on utube LOL.

But there is definitely this one glitch lah when switch on the console for the very first time. After they ask u do some screen brightness adjustments, the console will be stuck at blank screen. I advice to resstart the console and it will be normal again.

Also, do update the console, controller and games (especially ps4 ones) first before playing for a smoother experience.

P.S.
TOG just announced their 3rd wave today, so pretty sure the rest of the retailers will follow suit.

So far only encounter watchdog legion crash when first run. Hang on the profile and controller not working. Have to press and hold the console power button for quite awhile before it shut down.

When restart watchdog.. prompted save game corrupted. Lol . Lucky got backup
