standard connection path would be RPI -> SS -> TV

Bugger, ok I thought as much. I had a 2013 Sony device previously which did, seems my new Samsung may not.

Looking around the internet however I've seen others with the problem. Someone suggested putting 'hdmi_force_edid_audio=1' in the config.txt. Might this work or will I screw things?
