Nintendo Switch 2 HDR Issues with Sync Box 2

General Question

Good evening, does anybody know of any known issues with the Switch 2 while HDR is enabled with a compatible HDR Game like DK Bananza?

For context, I have a LG G5 and Samsung Q990D. I have both my PS5 Pro and SW2 in both soundbar inputs which output to the Sync Box, which in turn outputs to the HDMI 2 ARC tv input. I have tried switching the inputs on the soundbar as well.

My PS5 Pro runs with no issues whatsoever, be it resolution, fps, or the lights.

While using the Switch 2 however, the lights will not work unless the HDR setting is set to “Off” or “Compatible Software Only” when playing a Non HDR compatible game.

I notice that this changes my tv’s HDR settings and things like the brightness are adjusted.

Ive also tried to adjust the Dynamic Tone Mapping with no results.

Any known issues or ways to fix this? Thanks in advance.
