ARC not working on Samsung / Yamaha

[welshboy]

Ive got a hdmi cable plugged into HDMI 4(which sais ARC)
and this is plugged into my yamaha 477 amp.

I have turned Anynet+ on the television
and ive turned hdmi control + arc on the amp on but when watching netflix or freeview I dont get sound through the amp.

Also "av reciever" is greyed out when i go to tv settings > output.

Puzzled. Spent a good few hours resetting things and updating and trying settings/cables yesterday to no avail. any clues?

thanks

Found the issue

Was the cable. Even though I bought one that supposedly supports 1.4a/2.0 arc Ethernet etc. used a bog standard one and that worked lol

So now I need to order a new hdmi to push through the wall

Even the any net on the Samsung works so i can use the Samsung remote
