I have a soundbar connected to my TV with optical cables. However, every time I change the source of audio, sucj\h as starting Netflix, changing HDMI inputs or if the Youtube plays a commercial. Then I have to restart my soundbar to get any audio to come through the device. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've even had the ARC channel hooked up to the right port on the tv and it doesn't help.
 
Solution
Don't know how old your stuff is, first generation HDMI were known to be finicky. Current HDMI is v1.4. Try another cable. Do Toslink as an alternative. If stereo only RCA works solid.
