Setting up ARC can be a little obtuse, but it's really nice, as you can then control receiver volume through your TV's remote and GUI.
My setup is just Ethernet into TV, HDMI out via ARC for audio only.

I'm super annoyed by my Shield keep grabbing my AVR's input everytime I switch to my PS5. I have to hit the switch button like a dozen times. I even turned off everything CEC on the Shield (which gently caress you Shield) and it persists.
You can buy HDMI pass-thru adapters without the CEC pin; I had to do that for a device that kept breaking ARC to my receiver. Works perfectly.

It might also work to use CEC bypass on the PS5 instead of the shield box, assuming the behavior is caused by CEC interplay from both of those devices at once

So, switched from an old 65" Samsung TV from 2016 to a 77" G3. Huge upgrade, obviously. The TV is hooked directly to a Denon receiver (AVR-X3300W) that then has about 6 or 7 HDMI devices hanging off it (chromecast, PS4, switch, UHD blu-ray player, various other niche HDMI consoles, etc)
In the past, I always had CEC issues with some sources just generally not working, and I was under the impression this was due to the number of devices hooked up, and CEC maxing out at 4 devices or something. If I changed configurations, the specific sources that didn't work would usually change around, but usually some worked and some didn't and I lived with it. Everything either worked fully with CEC up and down the chain, or didn't work at all - it was totally binary.
Now what is happening is that my sources that seems to 'work' with CEC in the current setup (chromecast, PS4, etc) will only turn the TV on, but not the receiver. The passthrough video works fine, but I get no audio without the receiver on. Turning the TV off, or shutting the video source down, properly turns everything off up and down the chain, including the receiver. Other sources, as before, just continue to have no response whatsoever with either the receiver or the TV via CEC - which is unchanged. So unlike before, now the CEC behavior on the 'working' devices, is lopsided. It doesn't fully turn everything in the chain on, but everything in the chain shuts down properly - which seems odd.
Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this or things I could do to try to resolve this? It is annoying to have to get my receiver remote out every time I turn things on.
Hopefully what I have written all makes sense - let me know if it doesn't.
I use a CEC blocker dongle on everything but my receiver in the ARC port. So I have to manually switch between inputs, but the TV remote correctly controls the receiver.
