Sound output from TV to Denon AVR-X2400H

Just got a new Sony X85J TV.  Using the HDMI ARC connections.  Volume works but I have to turn the TV volume up as high as it will go then turn the volume up on Denon to what I would consider abnormally high level (~80%) to get the sound to be what I would consider normal listening levels.  Am I mis-configured?

 

I also have decent external DAC hooked up to the Denon I use for streaming music. I suppose I could go optical out of TV to DAC?

Thanks for the responses:

I switched over to optical and left the HDMI Arc cables in so I could manage the Denon.   The TV is set to external sound system.  

I got sound and am controlling the volume of the Denon with TV remote now.  Still the same issue though, having to run the volume near 80%. If I cranked the volume on that high while listening to just music it would be blasting.

ooookay.  I went back and step through the auto configurator for Audio and explicitly told it to use Optical. Now it is what I would consider correct setting for normal listening levels.  Got dang AV is a jungle.
