I have the same. I had two tickets open for this issue. The first time, they released a version that solved the problem, but it was withdrawn because apparently users complained.
I don’t know whether the Wiim team doesn’t understand the problem or if they lack the technical capability to handle our case. It seems to me that an additional switch in the options to completely disable HDMI CEC would be enough.
Alternatively, they could activate CEC only after manually selecting the HDMI input.
I’m glad I’m not alone with this problem, so I’m not such a weirdo

At the moment, I don’t use HDMI on the Wiim Ultra at all and I’m looking for another streamer that will properly support the HDMI ARC input.
