Lindy HDMI CEC Less Female to Male Adapter solved this. Tested with HiMedia Q5 4K3D.

I have only just purchased the Q10 and noticed since i got it the ARC(Audio Return Channel) feature of my Onkyo stopped working. After a lot of messing about it appears the issue above is effecting me. Problem is, even with the unit poweroff completely, the ARC does not work. The only way to re-enable the ARC feature is to disconnect the HDMI cable from the amp completely. Is this a firmware bug of a hardware issue? If a firmware issue, is it going to be addressed as it renders the unit somewhat useless for those who use an amplifier with ARC + auto power on.

I have cut pin 13( CEC ) on HDMI cable, now CEC and ARC work.

5 minute 0$, I used a really thin paper clip to first jam the pin back

Thanks for the reply but no that did not work either. Removed the pin you mentioned still with same issue. Really starting to annoy me now.

I have the same issue with Q10, yamaha AMPLI, PANASONIC PLASMA TV.
With Q10 linked to YAMAHA AMPLY, ARC is not mor working. I have to remove the HDMI CABLE from q10 to recover the function.
Any fix?
