Sony X850C - HDMI Arc issue after launching Youtube

Got an issue with HDMI ARC, it was working fine until last night then boom it breaks.. My setup is below, I need some people to do testing for me please?

 

  • Pioneer VSX -1131 - Lastest firmware
  • Sony X850C - Latest Firmware
  • Factory reset done on both.
  • Nothing had changed in my setup
  • Mutiple HDMI cables chosen.
  • Disconnect cables and switched off TV and Amp for over a minute.

 

STEP 1- Initial breaking of ARC

 

  • Launch Youtube
  • Play video.
  • Go back to Youtube home screen
  • Play another video
  • Sound does not work
  • All google store apps such as Vimeo, Ted, Daily Motion etc all lose sound
  • Netflix, Amazon Prime, Google Movies and iPlayer are all unaffected

 

 

STEP 2 - However if I...

 

  • Launch Netflix, Amazon Prime, Google Movies or iPlayer
  • Then launch any google app such as Vimeo, Ted, Daily Motion
  • Sound works, even if I go back to home screen and play another video

 

STEP 3 - It then breaks again:

 

  • If I go back to watching Sky TV
  • Open any google app
  • First video is fine.
  • Subsequent no sound!
  • But fixes if I repeat STEP 2
  • Then breaks if I go back to watching TV and opening an app again.

 

What the hell is going on?

The beauty of HDMI "standard". Anyway, try with optical. If it's the same then it's OS relataed, if it works than it's crappy HDMI.
