“Our Samsung TV connected to a Polk Audio soundbar via the HDMI ARC reverted back to the TV Speaker and it no longer recognizes the Polk as an "Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) (it is) device. Can a cable suddenly "break" & would this HDMI cable fix this problem?”

Mine does this often. Sometimes it comes on with the TV sometimes it does not. After my two year old Samsung 4k Smart TV bit the dust (stopped emitting any sound at all) and was replaced under the extended warranty I was hopeful the issue would go away. It did not. Now I have an LG 4K Smart TV and it does the same thing. When I called Polk the rep suggested I use HDMI ARC rather than optical but that did not solve the problem. The next time I spoke with them they told me I could return it. I have not done that yet, but I bought the extended warranty on it, so I will probably do it some day before it expires.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
