My Apple HDMI TV adapter only shows picture, not audio, with iOS 16. I am in a very rural area with only cellular access, so this is a huge disappointment. (iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 Pro) Worked fine before the update!
I have the same issue. 3 phones all did the same thing after upgrading to ios16. 2 iPhone 13s and our SE. When we plugged in the adapter to each one a message came and said that the firmware needed to be updated for the accessory. After firmware updated we had picture but no audio. Tried 2 different Apple hdmi adapters and hdmi cables and 2 tvs. Please fix.
This issue affected me on my iPhone 12 with iOS16 and apple lightning hdmi adapter (A1438). I found a workaround in other forums.. basically, before starting the video start youtube (which works on the TV) then switch to your intended video source.
Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. With the HDMI TV adapter, is it manufactured by a third party company or are you using the Apple branded Lightning Digital AV Adapter or Lightning to VGA Adapter?
I am so glad I found this. I was going insane trying to figure out what I pressed to make this all stop working. I have managed to only get one or the other. Video no sound or sound no video. I was at the point where I was about to throw the whole thing away. lol
Last week, I drove an hour and a half one way for an appointment at an Apple Store, spent three hours working with two employees, and left with no solution. They were unaware that this is an issue with the update.
I have an older Samsung plasma television that has one A.R.C. output I'm trying to find an option that allows me to plug into the Sonos arc. I know a lot of the audio extractors don't work with the sonos arc but I'm looking at the Biground eARC HDMI audio extractor. I can't find any good information about this thing. It looks like it'll work if input 2 will output a video signal but it looks output 2 only does audio that wouldn't work as only input 1 does eARC and needs to go to the Sonos unit.
Sorry guess I wasn't to clear on that. The arc hdmi on the TV is going to the Firetv. So the optical adapter is being used to feed the sonos arc via the optical converter but that scales the audio down to stereo. My thought is to connect the firetv to the biground, output 1 being earc goes to sonos, output 2 goes to the tv.

I would be surprised if the Biground works like you want it to, but according to the product page, the Fire TV should connect to the HDMI input, the TV connects to Out 1, and the Arc connects to Out 2. But when you use the input port of the Biground, the ARC function will not work. See diagrams below:
NOTE: Because you have an older TV, there is a good chance you will not be able to get 5.1 audio from the Fire TV to pass through to the Sonos Arc. This is where the HDFury Arcana eARC adapter will help. I use the Arcana with my old Panasonic plasma from 2013 and my Sonos Arc and it works great.
But as pointed out, your TV is older, may not be working properly for ARc audio, and unlikely to be passing on the best audio quality your fireTV can deliver, and Sonos ARC can play. An Arcana is a good solution.
I followed exactly what you posted and it worked. The app shows I'm getting stereo PCM but I think that's just from the age of the TV. I'm not going to stress about it as I'm looking to upgrade to a QD-OLED TV pretty soon anyway but good to know it works as intended. Thanks for all the help guys!!
I believe the MHz depends on your source. I have a Panasonic plasma and I get 148MHz when using my Roku Ultra and Apple TV 4K. I get 223MHz when using my Blu-ray player. I keep the Scaler setting on the Arcana to No Scaling.
