Having a problem with my 4k tv..

[Uptown WaYo87]

For some reason out of nowhere my ps4 pro only works with regular hdmi cable but not my 4k cables.Anyone experienced this before? Also my surround sound which i had optical wire connecting it with the tv, is now not generating any sound. Its a Sony bravia xbr 65 inch....im trying to find the exact name now. Besides that no other problems with the tv

More than likely your sound bar not working because your TV keeps switching the

Digital Audio out

If it's on Auto take it off

Put it on PCM

PS4 is very finicky with certain cables, basically the shyttier quality the cable is, the more likely you're gonna have trouble. Even the stock cable that came with the PS4 Pro is trash af and mine started acted up. Get you some quality Monoprice 2.1 cables, very cheap and high quality.

Basically what @Sweet Meat Chaucer said, Sony has dropped the ball on both ps3 and ps4 when it comes to proper PCM management and optical outputs. It switches things on the fly and for certain sound bars and home theaters it can cause major headache. The easiest solution would be to use HDMI but that isn't the common input on most of today's bars, its optical. Luckily PS4 has an option to use PCM or Dolby Digital if your bar supports it and you should be good.

Make sure your HDMI input is set to UHD.

Your sound settings on your PS4 should be Bitstream.

what’s 4K cables

My hdmi output always reads as 2160p (4K) when I’m playing my PS4 pro.

There's no such thing as "4K cables." They are just regular HDMI cables.

That's what I've always figured, one HDMI cable is as good as the next, this is the first time I've ever heard of 4k cables

 

[Chris Cool]

That's not true. An old ass cable from like 2010 likely ain't gonna display hdr.

There are 1.4 hdmi and 2.0 hdmi cables. 1.4 supports 4k up to 30hz. 2.0 supports 4k @60hz.

That article is about different HDMI specs inside of your device. The cable is the same.

Agreed. 2.0 has more bandwidth that can be used for more av channels and 4k at 60hz.

Op problems seem to be sound related so maybe a 2.0 HDMI cable could help.

There's no such thing as a "2.0" cable. If any manufacturer is calling their cables that, it is just marketing. The most modern HDMI cable is the high speed HDMI cable, which should be the "default" cable sold now. I am PC gaming at 4k 60fps using a "regular" HDMI cable.
