Cannot get ARC/eARC working with LG C9 and Onkyo RZ720?? Help Please

[Dodge Gee]

Hi All,

I need some help. I cannot get ARC or eARC working with my setup.

This is my current setup:

PC:
AMD 5900X
Gigabyte X570 Aourus Master
32Gb Ram
GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO (HDMI 2.0b) ? Nvidia V461.40 21-01-21
XFX Radeon RX 6900 XT Speedster MERC319 Black (HDMI 2.1) - Adrenalin 2020 Edition 21.1.1
Windows 10 ? 20H2 OS Build 19042.746

Home Theatre:
Onkyo TX-RZ720 ? Firmware 1141-8020-3070-0011 - 14/01/21 ? I believe they did a firmware update to enable eARC, But cant get ARC either.

Android TVBox:
MeCool KM1 Collective v9 Nov 5 2019 (HDMI 2.1)

TV:
LG 55 C9 - OLED55C9PVA - 05.00.03 (HDMI 2.1)

I have tried using the Nvidia RTX2080Ti(HDMI 2.0b), then purchased an AMD RX6900XT(HDMI 2.1) as I am wandering whether the HDMI version have something to do with it. I am trying to setup a 5.1.2 setup(Atmos using height speakers)

I have tried the following:
- I have connected my PC directly to the LG HDMI 1 Port using an HDMI 2.1 cable.
- Then connected LG HDMI 2(eARC) to the Onkyo Main(Arc) HDMI port using a HDMI 2.1 cable.
- Then connected Android TVBox to LG HDMI 3



LG TV Settings:
/Sound /Sound Out /HDMI ARC /Digital Sound Output - Pass Through
                                                                                        /eARC - Off
