Perhaps I'm lucky that it works, it also works on a soundbar I have from 2012 so I'm still not clear on whether if using a receiver you just need something that decodes PCM with ARC pass through (as it definitely isn't eARC) and  you need eARC if plugging directly into the TV. Google just need to be clear that's what's needed, it's their reputation and PS5 etc is just around the corner. What's the point in avoiding it? They could just say it on their website and print it on the box and in the instructions. I think Stadia is impressive now it's working but I'm probably lucky it does. It was nearly sent back on the day of arrival (had I found out where to send it) and payment on credit card disputed if need be but happily all ok now- with one quirk that sometimes needs the Chromecast to be unplugged then plugged back in to get 5.1, why, I have no idea.

Hi Makaveli, my amp is a Yamaha HTR 3069 which is their entry level one. Perhaps I'm just lucky that it appears to work and HDR does work. Destiny 2 was quite impressive and the wireless connection says excellent so it seems to say the right things on screen. I also have a high speed HDMI cable which can deal with 4K, sounds like we are all as up on this as each other so we understand how these things should be plugged in. I have to say though that it failed once on 5.1 after working properly and I wondered if getting the right broadband connection when switching on isn't entirely stable, despite speed which was still shown as excellent. I do think Google need to change the setup instructions though as clearly plugging into TV isn't always the solution.

If it helps, Ive been onto Stadia chat today. I had the same issues when my Stadia arrived today, having used it on a 100mb connection but solved it by plugging into my receiver rather than the TV. I think the issue is that while you might have ARC/passthrough/ 4K TV and receiver, Stadia relies on having eARC which is a new higher bandwidth ARC port which a lot of TV and receivers dont have. So my TV which was new last year (Samsung) was outputting in PCM not dolby digital (the PS4 works fine as is DD) but the receiver can cope as it doesn't rely on pass though via the TV. So it's a pain, but if you otherwise have a modern set up it should work.
