Hi,
I'm trying to setup amazon fire tv to play music without tv on. This is my current setup:
Tv -- hdmi --> fire tv -- optical audio --> soundbar
Problem I have is that there is no sound from tv. hdmi from tv to fire tv is connected through arc channel.
Does anyone has similar setup that works?
Best Regards,
Lukasz

Hello every one.
Does any one know how this works !
I have a Sony Bravia KDL 24EX320 TV, and the fire tv box,
I allso have a number of other boxies to controll,
so I have a "OneForAll 7960" remote controll witch is surpossed to be just a "IR" remote,
But I have found that I can controll my Fire tv box with it, I can move though the menues and seclect things with it.
I just though I would let people know about this incase it could be helpfull to some one.
Are you doing this when TV is selected?
If so, it is controlling through HDMI CEC.
I did that with my Sharp tv, but it does not work with my Panasonic.
Yep, it's gotta be hdmi cec. Fire TV doesn't have a ir receiver built in.

I think it only works for Sony tvs. I have the 55W829 and i can use the tv remote for my Amazon fire tv as well. Also works when Kodi is enabled.
Hi,
can I use the Fire TV Stick as a bluetooth receiver for my AV Receiver?
Perhaps with an automatically launched app.

I have fire tv with kodi, is there any way to watch the movie on my tv and stream audio to chromecast audio? I tried official app but there is no Google services on fire tv so it's not working. I am looking for solution from weeks and i can't find anything.

Hi,
I have Fire TV 2nd edition and Samsung Series D and Soundbar. The way it's connecting:
FireTV ----> HDMI ---> TV
TV ----> Optical Cable ----> SoundBar
As the soundbar doesn't have HDMI input, I must use the Optical cable. Seems even the source playing with DTS and/or Dolby, the TV is sending only 2 channels (stereo) to the soundbar. However when using application in the smart TV (which is not external), i'm getting 5.1. I read the manual of the TV and it seems it's by design:
When the receiver (i.e Home Theater) is set to On, you can hear sound
output from the TV’s Optical jack. When the TV is displaying a DTV (air)
signal, the TV will send out 5.1 channel sound to the receiver. When the
source is a digital component such as a DVD player and it is connected to
the TV via HDMI, you will hear only 2 channel sound from the receiver.
I read a lot about it and it seems it's because EDID that Fire TV is sending to the TV and in case i'll be able to overidde the EDID, it'll work properly. I understand the Microsoft did something similar in Xbox console.
Any idea if it's possible to hack the EDID? Is there any software solution for this? I see that I can buy audio extractor and it'll solve my problem, however I prefer software solution.
Thanks.
