Technology glossary
HDMI eARC
An enhanced audio return channel that sends high-bit-rate audio from a TV or monitor to an audio system over one HDMI cable.
eARC arrived with HDMI 2.1 and supersedes the earlier ARC. It sends audio from sources connected to the display, or from built-in apps, back to an AV receiver or soundbar over the same HDMI cable.
According to HDMI Licensing Administrator it can carry uncompressed 5.1 and 7.1 audio, 192 kHz / 24-bit audio and formats including Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS:X. Whether a format actually passes through depends on the source, the display and the audio system.
