What is the brand and model soundbar? That might be important for its capabilities, and perhaps for recognition by other forum users that have the same model.


I have a soundbar connected to earc …

Excellent. Use eARC for the connection between the TV and the sound processing device.


… the tv can’t see the soundbar any more

Does it work when the soundbar is already on?


… and do not turn it on

Does the soundbar support being woken through CEC? Is CEC active on all HDMI devices?

Some soundbars get active from any incoming sound signal, so wouldn’t need CEC per se.
