SONY HT ST 5000 owners

I've been the owner of the soundbar for over 3+ years, tried the Universal Rear Speakers solution but there was a very noticeable delay on the rear speakers that made it a non-viable solution.

This is what I did,
LG OLED 55 B7 to the ST5000 with the ARC HDMI
Xbox One X HDMI output to the ST5000 HDMI1 input
Xbox One X Optical output to the Logitech Z-906 input

Setup Xbox to output the audio format in 7.1

Disconnect the center channel from Logitech Z-906

Voila!

Pros:
  • Real surround sound
  • Amazing overall sound
  • 2 subs working simultaneously + 13 sepakers (9+4)
Cons:
  • 2 volume controls, 1 for TV+ST5000 and 1 for Logitech Z-906
  • I need to use Xbox as main media streamer.

Optimal solution No…….. is it worth it Hell yes! this combo is a monster! I'm just sorry I did not think of this sooner.
That is a ghetto solution! Love it...
 
A random issue that’s started to come up recently

People’s voices start to sound tinny

Doesn’t happen when the sound bar is first switched on - happens over the space of about an hour.

Very odd. Anyone have an issue like this? Had the speaker since 2018.

I’m now thinking of replacing it with the Sonos arc and additional speakers. Thoughts?
