Apple Tv Problem

Hi Guys ,


I own an Apple tv 4k 2021 and I am facing an issue connected to the audio channels ,

How I detect the issue ? I download YouTube and I search for " audio channels test "

My setup is sound bar (Klipsch Cinema 600) connected to my TV (Sony X900F) ARC port ,


So my Problem ----> I Play the video on YouTube "Audio channels test" and I can hear the left channel

But the right I can't AND the worst is over Apple music app


I Play the song of "Doja cat - Get Into It" and there I can notice the issue clearly


Please I would like to ask everyone to test and to share the results with me .

Thank you for your time , have a nice day : )

ARC has a bandwidth of about 1 Mbps in the return channel direction, not enough for Auto PCM Multichannel. Unsupported settings may result in unexpected output. Instead, use the Audio Format Dolby Digital 5.1 or Stereo setting on Apple TV.

could I ask for a favor , can you play on your apple tv 4k 2021 Youtube channels test right and left
and please update me with the results ?

I have an Apple TV 4K 2017, not the 2021 model.

I tried to find the YT video, but I get many results when using those search keywords. You have to be more precise.

Doja Cat - Get into it played fine in stereo.

#Stereo: Left and right stereo sound test - MasterStudy played fine in stereo.
