Connect Amp to Panasonic UB820 via HDMI Audio Out, possible?

[monkeyboy72]

Hi I have a Wiim Amp and have today received a Panasonic UB820 4k Blu-ray player.
The UB820 has dual hdmi outputs one for video to my projector and one for audio only which I plugged into the hdmi input on the Wiim amp, but of course as with everything I always assume will work straight away there is no sound.
Has anyone got this setup and can help with the correct settings or maybe it's not possible to do this?, have tried lots of combinations but the sound still comes out of the projector speakers, thanks.

It’s not possible to do that as WiiM devices’ hdmi inputs are only compatible with a TV Arc connection.

That's a shame but makes sense, I'll try the optical instead or maybe Bluetooth thanks

Optical if you can - you might hit lip sync/latency issues with Bluetooth
