Also fact: there's no reason to care.
As your own link points out.
Because you hook your BR player (or console, streaming device, PC, etc) to the AVR
Not to the TV.
So what the TV passes through, or not, is totally irrelevant to anything since you are never sending audio to the TV in the first place.
It really is though.
"It's just as good, but you should still care because... REASONS...." is not a compelling argument.
Further- again, the TV isn't in the loop at all in any of the setups I've discussed, so if it "passes" anything or not remains totally irrelevant to anything
Well, no, it's ONE of its possible jobs. Also source switching, amplification of audio and distribution to speakers, balancing/distance settings to make all the speakers sound good together, etc...
But ok if you want it to do the audio decoding then set your bluray player to output bitstream instead of PCM.
Here's a link explaining this for you:

Same with your PS5, your PC, etc. And of course insure they're connected to the AVR and not the TV
The link mentions cases where you might prefer one vs the other (for example Atmos, or wanting secondary audio like a commentary track)... both are generally swappable via a setting though.
Why don't you instead just connect your sources TO the AVR, instead of your TV- then set their outputs to bitstream?
Why are you using your TV for source switching and audio routing when you already dropped money on an AVR that already does all that and more?

Copied/pasted directly from their review of the C2:
"Unfortunately, this TV can't passthrough any DTS formats, which is disappointing as many Blu-rays use this format for their main audio track. If you like this TV but would have loved DTS support, check out the LG C3 OLED."
My sources are all connected to the receiver, I have nothing directly connected to my television.
If I try playing a 4k blu-ray disc with my PS5 on this television, it will not be able to pass the DTS signal to my receiver for processing. My only option is to set the PS5 (the source device) to decode the audio. It will then send a PCM signal to my receiver for playback.
I want my receiver doing the audio decoding, that its job. If you're completely fine with your source devices doing all the audio decoding and sending PCM audio to your receiver, then more power to you, we can agree to disagree. I'd just like to see television manufacturers not cutting corners on high-priced premium products, is really the point.
they have no CHOICE but to settle for TV passthrough.
The discussion we have had, however, is around people who DO have AVRs.
In which case it's totally irrelevant- a fact you seem unable to understand despite [B[your own source from reddit[/B] telling you the same answer.

These two sentences can not both be true
If your source is connected to your receiver then there's nothing for the tv to pass
If set up correctly the audio NEVER GOES TO THE TV.
it goes to the receiver.
It sounds like instead you are sending audio TO the TV for some reason, then hoping it'll "pass" that via eARC to the receiver.
This is 100% user error.
As- again- your own reddit link points out.

Fact: if you attempt to watch a source that's been encoded with any sort of DTS audio, the source device will do the audio decoding and then send a PCM audio signal to the receiver, which will be outputted through your speakers. The end result is that your AVR was left out of the loop on the audio processing side of things.
You don't lose any quality with PCM audio, but that's not the point. I want my receiver doing the audio processing, that its job.
Opinion: if I'm dropping $2k on a television, I expect it will have the ability to passthrough any and all audio signals through to my receiver so that it can do its job. LG re-added DTS support back for the 2023 G3 and C3 models.

LG G2 OLED vs LG C3 OLED [rtings.com]
Woot had the 77" C3 for $1400??
So your post is goofy, according to Fusive R, their price for the C3 was 2300, not 1400, why are you posting false info Brah?
