I recently bought the LG C9 OLED, the TV is excellent. I know that the C9 has HDMI 2.1 and supports eARC, which, as i believe, supports ATMOS and DTS:X pass-through. I use an Xbox One X as my main media center, including watching 4k Blurays. I am also using the Samsung HW-Q90R soundbar, which supports eARC, Dolby ATMOS and DTS:X. My current configuration is (Xbox➡C9➡Soundbar) with eARC enabled and the Xbox is set to allow the AV receiver to decode audio for Blurays. The problem is, is when i play a DTS:X movie in my Xbox the DTS:X signal is not passed through to the soundbar. If i play a Dolby ATMOS movie the signal is passed through just fine and the soundbar displays Dolby ATMOS on display screen. If i connect my Xbox directly to the soundbar and then to the TV (Xbox➡Soundbar➡C9) DTS:X and Dolby ATMOS both work properly. Unfortunately if i configure the set up this way i loose the ability to us Variable Refresh Rate on the Xbox. I don't know if the problem is with the C9 not properly passing DTS:X to the soundbar or if its the soundbar not correctly detecting the DTS:X signal from the soundbar. Can this be fixed with a firmware update or am i doing something wrong?
Also would the Samsung HW-Q90R soundbar capable of passing VRR signal through to the TV?
At the moment i can either get full audio capabilities by connecting to the soundbar and then to the TV or be able to use VRR but not DTS:X by connecting directly to the TV and then the soundbar. Is There not a way to get both VRR and DTS:X?
