Amp not detecting input?

[landwomble]

Recently my amp, which is connected to my LG C1 TV via HDMI ARC, has stopped auto sensing the input - it's silent when I turn on my TV. The fix is to go into the app and hit "play" but it's annoying.
Anyone else seeing this?

Yes, indeed. At least one fellow WiiM user reported a very similar case.

HDMI ARC doesn't start automatically

My Wiim ultra is connected to my Philips Google TV. After long standby (1 day) then i start my tv Wiim is also starting (via hdmni arc signal), but no sound from Wiim... I have to press PLAY button to start the sound output from wiim. Is it a feature or bug? It's really annoying! I understand...

Unfortunately there has been no simple solution so far. It looks like the TV is to blame in this case and the maker doesn't seem to care too much.

You can always send feedback to WiiM through the WiiM Home app, providing them with your manually entered comments and your device logs. In the bottom navigation bar tap on Settings and next on Send us feedback. WiiM might or might just not be able to work around the issue.
