Apple TV 4K doesn’t play 5.1 audio with eArc turned on.

I have an LG OLED C2 tv connected to a Samsung Q90r soundbar and Apple TV 4K doesn’t play 5.1 audio with eArc turned on. Is there a fix for this? Was working fine until recently….Apple TV is plugged into hdmi on the tv.

Apple TV No Center Channel sound. I have a good Sony TV; Older and new 4K Apple TV. No center channel sound so I use my Mac Book Pro and the center channel is there. Same 7.1 Channel receiver, the same HDMI cable going to my TV, and a cable going to the receiver.

It should be connected to the soundbar (HDMI in). The soundbar’s solo HDMI out to TV.
