No one seems to want to own this at the moment. If there are no surrounds, I suggest that you use the TOSLINK audio connection. This is not quite as convenient with respect to ON/OFF for the TV, but audio is reliable. You'll need to train the remotes and ARC for IR Volume control.
Is there a cable box in the system?
There are CEC blocking dongles. I have not tried any. In a system with multiple inputs (cable, Blu-ray, etc.) that one box is mucking up the CEC. Inserting a CEC blocker in that path may help. Again, I have not tried this.
It's possible that you could set the SONY eARC OFF and use IR Volume control, but I have not tried this.
I'm considering developing a 3rd party CEC controller based on Raspberry Pi that will listen to CEC commands and issue correcting commands as needed. I don't know if this would be possible. It would be very boring if this solution was unique to each system or had to be updated after every end unit firmware update.
There is no cable box in the system.
I guess I lied when I said streaming was the only source. Connected to the TV he also has an Android box and a security camera DVR, but he hasn’t used either of those devices yet. So I should rephrase my statement to say that the only source those two issues have been experienced is when using the apps in the TV.
