Nintendo should release a stability fix for this.Apparently Apple TVs do the same thing on Samsung TVs.

The issue is that it ONLY supports lpcm for surround sound, and not additionally the more popular and supported DTS like every other console.I thought people were excited when the PS3 came out with LPCM support lol. It's a negative now?
Does this affect other TVs? If it does, it wouldn't be a TV issue but a Switch issue and it should be Nintendo's job to fix it.
it happened to me while I was tanking in FFXIVThank the lord. The "switch" always happens at the worst possible time.

My HDMI switch automatically switches to the Switch if I forget to undock the Switch while I'm using another device. I feel like it's the Switch that is at fault here.

Samsung 2016 TV's apparently respond to any chatter on the HDMI connection, rather than the just the standard CEC commands. The firmware also doesn't turn off this function, even when CEC is disabled. It's annoying as hell. Not only does my Switch flip over my inputs seemingly at random when I forget to turn it off, my cable box will randomly power on my TV whenever it starts to record a show.
Ah dang, thanks for the info guys! I definitely thought this was a CEC issue. Definitely seems like an issue that can be addressed from either side then. As noted above, I find it kind of surprising that "smart" TV's don't give you the option to disable that feature. I'd be interested in learning whether there's a particular reason the Switch sends those signals too.

TV manufacturers are notoriously bad at conforming to standards. A CEC compliant TV should wait for a connection to become electrically active, initiate and complete an HDMI (optionally HDCP) handshake, and then issue a CEC switch-to-me command. For a lot of reasons (incompetent firmware devs/avoidance of lag in slow embedded CPUs/"seeming snappy" etc) a lot of TVs "cheat" -- they don't wait for everything to complete and then switch only when receiving a command to switch inputs -- they assume a switch command is on its way earlier and start the input switch on the handshake start, or in the particularly aggressive Samsung case, when the port is electrically active.I'm more curious about why there's such inconsistency in the behavior across so many TVs. I'm sure the Switch is sending some sort of signal, but it hasn't affected a single TV I use so far, where I'll leave it docked and on standby for hours.
I have a Samsung Smart tv and never had this happen to me. This is a problem that's effecting certain tv's,it's not a switch problem.Does this affect other TVs? If it does, it wouldn't be a TV issue but a Switch issue and it should be Nintendo's job to fix it.

I don't understand how it is though. I've had my switch since launch and never had this problem, maybe be someone more educated about the subject can explain it to me.It is absolutely a Switch problem. It is also not the first console to have HDMI issues at launch

Damn this is dope.

It's not a Switch issue and it's been explained several times in this thread why it's related to the behavior of the HDMI switching functionally of certain Samsung TVs. Stop it please.

It's a Samsung tv i don't remember the model number, but it's a few years old and it supports hdmi cec.What's your TV set?
I'm willing to bet those who plug in their Switch into a receiver don't face this problem. Leading to believe it is in fact a TV issue.

I have auto switching enabled ( in fact i don't even know how to turn it off) and when i turn on my switch the tv switches to that input automatically.million reasons why you wouldn't see it. Everything from you have autoswitch disabled by default on that model to how it prioritizes signals when more than one is detected.
I have a programmable rack mount switch and was going to turn on logging to see if it was on a regular schedule, but I ended up having margarita's with the wife instead.
You need to turn on your TV receiver separately. The Switch will not automatically turn on your TV receiver (unless the receiver itself has a CEC function, which I've not heard of before), so the TV will not switch automatically to the TV receiver.

Right. Which is my exact setup. Also why it's pretty much confirmation this is a TV issue, or at the very least, an input box issue.

Multiple different brands and models of TVs have reported the issue, so I think it's more of a Switch issue than a TV issue. Samsung is basically just backdoor fixing it by giving you an option to disable the auto-input switching.
How do you see that as a confirmation that it's a TV issue, when you simply omit the Switch from the automatic switching system? If the Switch is not connected to a CEC-compatible device, there obviously aren't any issues related to automatic switching.
Considering lots of users, who all use different TVs and TV brands, experience issues with automatic switching only with their Switch and none of their other devices connected to their TVs, it's unlikely that it's a TV issue.
I'm willing to bet those who plug in their Switch into a receiver don't face this problem. Leading to believe it is in fact a TV issue.
Why would Samsung even fix something on their end that wouldn't need fixing? I don't see how can this be anything but an issue caused by non-compliant HDMI implementations from some TV manufacturers, as the problem doesn't manifest in all of them (and it should, if it were a Nintendo Switch issue).
Again, the Switch doesn't have any issues with my old ass Philips, and uses HDMI-CEC brilliantly.
