      Has anybody had weird issues with the video signal dropping when you're using CEC or ARC on your receiver and TV? My image is dropping and the screen turns black for several seconds whenever I change the volume of my receiver and I just can't figure it out.

      If I turn off CEC/ARC on BOTH the receiver and TV it's fine (as is hooking directly up to the TV and bypassing the receiver and HDMI switch). ALL other devices are fine in this setup, even a RPi4 - it's just the Zero 2W which has this issue.

      On the Pi Zero 2 I've added all different lines to config.txt to turn off CEC functions (hdmi_ignore_cec=1, hdmi_ignore_edid_audio=1, even my normal hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1 I usually always have on, etc.), but I assume they're not totally off because CEC is still interfering and making the image drop.

      Anything I can look into? Tried 4-5 HDMI modes too just in case that was it, tried different cables, etc.
