I have Xiaomi Soundbar and I use it with my Philips TV. The connection is as follows:
Xiaomi Soundbar Mi Port -> Philips TV HDMI1/ARC (Audio Return Channel).

On the Xiaomi Soundbar, I have used up all the 3 HDMI inputs for
(1) DVB-T2 receiver (to received MediaCorp HD broadcasts)
(2) Media player
(3) Roku player

Recently I got a Google Chromecast device and since I don't have any more HDMI input ports on the Xiaomi Soundbar, I connected it directly to the Philips TV using the TV's HDMI 2 input. I get Chromecast video and audio from the TV. But I would like to have the Chromecast audio to be channeled from the Philips TV to the Xiaomi Soundbar for better quality.

Is there any way to get the sound from Philips TV and output to the Xiaomi Soundbar via ARC?

Thanks.

Ok. Before we go on, let me highlight few things.

1. I did what I did 1yr+ ago. It was trial and error, so I couldn't remember exactly what I did.

2. The seller which I bought the Mi TV 2 55" from already install YouTube for me when I got the TV. But I tried many methods and still couldn't get PlayStore to work. But I can watch YouTube on it.

3. If you really dare to explore further, do take note that make sure you learn how to reset your TV.

Ok, if you understand all the above, you may try :

Or this ..



Good luck.

PS : At your own risk

TAKE NOTE!!

Somebody here already tried the first method and it does NOT work. Please skip the first method.

her price went up quite a lot

if got qoo10 coupon i think can offset a bit not too bad, at least got better buyer protection in case got problem, and also can get it faster via air freight (4-7 days) compare to ezbuy (1month plus); also no need to pay extra for wooden crate...heard ezbuy charge $40 ++ for wooden crate

any obvious poke hole? u should reject it if any

Wah, that means that the panel was already gone case before it got crate. Did you take a video of the unboxing?

Can just file charge back with credit card bank just like that? For such incidents, I thought the bank will just say that this is a legit transaction, please file a claim with the seller.

Unless you pay with PayPal, then different story.
