I went thru my Audio system trying to figure out how to play my TV sound thru the ceiling speakers via the cd/radio audio system, is that possible? I managed to figure it out. I pulled out the Sterio and in the back there is 2 RCA plugs for Audio in. I attached them to the back of my TV audio out and it works like a charm. It's really simple. I don't know why they didn't add the RCA cable when built! Because they expected you to use the single HDMI cable and the HDMI ARC port on the TV. It saves money that way.

I had the same problem with my 2021 169VUD. Tried every solution in this thread and nothing worked, learned all about ARC on way! Finally I found the solution was simply to change a setting on the TV (see attached screenshots): 1. Go to Setup and scroll down until you see the CEC option 2. Select the CEC option and then set the Audio Receiver option to on. I'm sure this isn't going to work for everyone but it worked for me. If you are having problems I suggest trying all the suggestions in this thread. Hopefully this will help someone! Attachments:

Had no idea what CEC was an acronym for. So for us non-tech types, hope this helps somewhat:
The CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) on an Element TV is a system that allows for integrated control of multiple devices. CEC can be initiated from the remote of the Element TV and can control devices connected via HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface).
This system allows for dynamic control over different devices connected to the TV including DVD players, Blu-ray players, and even sound bars. It allows users to control volume, skip tracks, play/pause, and change inputs for the different devices.
This system also allows for HDMI devices to be turned on/off from the Element TV remote. CEC is a great tool for anyone trying to utilize multiple HDMI devices as it makes managing their hardware much easier and convenient.
HDMI-CEC, short for HDMI Consumer Electronics Control, was first defined with the release of the original HDMI 1.0 standard and formalized for active use in 2005 with the release of HDMI 1.2a, an early update to the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard.
HDMI-CEC has both a physical and software element. The physical side of things is a single dedicated bi-directional wire connection that occupies pinout number 13 on the HDMI cable standard and carries the signals between linked HDMI-CEC compatible devices. The software side is a communication standard built on top of the existing AV.link protocol.

Adding to what WrkrBee said, different manufacturers call CEC different things. I believe Roku calls it 1-touch-play, Samsung calls it Anynet, etc.

RCA cables is the old fashion way. HDMI cables are the latest and great, they combine audio ands video into one cable. My stereo has one HDMI cable on the back that extends thru the ceiling and plugs into my TV. MY tv has one HDMI cable from Stereo, one coax for OTA antenna and one connection for a Firestick.

RCA cables are old technology, the latest and greatest would be the HDMI cable that does video and audio in one cable.
