Hey everyone, im hoping someone here has a solution to my problem.

I have a Sony Bravia Smart TV (an x900h i think?), with a Soundbar connected via HDMI eARC, and once a week, my apps and tv system sounds stop working. Youtube is stuck on the first frame of every video i try, the other apps take a long time to load and have no sound, and the beeps boops of the UI are suddenly gone. This happens both with and without the sound bar. Using a game console however, the sounds work. It just seems to be the TV's system and apps.

I factory reset the tv and that resolved it, but the problem happens periodically. I dont want to have to go through thirty minutes of setup every week.

All devices are up to date, and no changes are made to settings that might provoke this to happen.

Any idea whats going on and how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
