HDMI 2.0 Splitter 4K 60Hz ARC eARC for Soundbar HDMI Switch Bi-Direction 1 in 2 Out or 2 Input to 2 Output SPDIF 5.1CH Audio Extractor CEC - HDMI Down Scaler 4K 1080P Sync

Relatively simple to set up. I have a cumbersome system with an Epson projector (no ARC) and Sonos surround system (which sounds great) and the most recent Apple TV. The only challenge for me was getting the volume control to sync with the apple TV remote and this may be because the projector is doing something strange through the HDMI connection. Regardless, the solution was to have Apple TV remove control the Sonos Arc directly through the infrared connection (instead of through the HDMI), then everything works fine. Big screen movies, amazing Atmos sound and this is the only reliable and affordable product I have found to make them all work together. I also like how their advertising materials clearly indicate what the product can and cannot do. And FYI, the build quality of this device is much better than the competing OREI product (the power failed on OREI after about 4 months for me, which is why I purchased this unit).

Waste of my $109, it did not wok. Audio output Dolly atmos to my Sonos arc soundbar but failed to output video to an older 1080p tv. My advice is to avoid this one and look for the Corsahd 8k switch earc, the price is nearly the same but it works beautifully.

I needed a way to produce ARC audio stream from my computer. This is the only audio device I have found that can do this. It properly emulates a display of various resolutions thereby, being recognized by the target device as source of ARC (video is required for all HDMI audio). The flexibility of setting resolution of the emulated display is a plus.

Giving this 5 stars because it works great to get Dolby Atmos to a Sonos Arc with an older non-eArc TV. I have a Chromecast Google TV 4K as source. Took a bit of trial and error, but basically you need to set the EDID to 4K7.1 so Chromecast thinks it's connected to a 4K7.1 system otherwise it won't send Atmos sound. The CEC function no longer works to control the Arc volume with the Chromecast remote, it just controls the TV volume and the sound bar is not connected directly to the TV so it doesn't get the volume control.However I was able to setup the Sonos Arc to read the IR signal from the Chromecast remote directly (configured in Sonos app) so remote volume control works. Minor annoyance of the direct IR volume control is that the volume display by the TV is not synchronized with the volume level of the soundbar. And if you control the soundbar volume via the Sonos app or using voice control, the volume display doesn't show on the TV at all.Update:Not sure why, but I'm no longer getting Atmos on the Sonos Arc. No change in setup. I used to get Atmos displayed on the Sonos app when I play Atmos content in Prime video, for example, Jack Reacher. Now it just says Dolby Digital 5.1. Tried rebooting everything and same issue. Subtracted 2 stars. It's still a great device that allows me to get 5.1 sound where I would only get stereo PCM otherwise (because of my old TV), but I bought this for Atmos and a little bit disappointed.

I use apple tv (and maybe a xbox in the future) + sonos arc and sony vpl-xw5000. And this works perfectly for splitting the signals to hdmi and hdmi earc to my projector and sound bar. Then only challenge is the volume control part. But I resolved it by adding an IR setup to the apple tv remote controller and used apple tv controller with this IR setup as volume control to setup arc volume control.I spent a lot of time on figuring out the solution to make them work together. And it was said the arcana was the only solution, but that was too expensive. This product perfectly resolve my case and much cheaper.This product is

I bought this so I could get Dolby Atmos working between Apple TV and sound bar as my TV doesn't have ARC/eARC. It didn't work at first, but after switching the "EDID" from 'copy' to '4K7.1' Dolby Atmos worked. I went from Apple TV into this and then to sound bar and also to TV. Also tried from XBOX Series X and see Dolby Atmos on there as well. Seems to do the job I wanted it to.

Audio cuts out all the time, just for a moment, even after I bought new cables. I had to throw it out and get an Arcana.

Have two sources (Roku Ultra with 4K and Dolby Atmos, and STB with Dolby Digital). The two destinations are a ten-year-old TV with basic HDMI ARC (which only supports PCM stereo) and a new Sonos Arc.After setting both source devices to force 1080p (vs auto), this device device now allows upconverted Dolby Digital Plus from the STB and Atmos from the Roku to reach the Arc, for less than half the price of the Arcana. TV is awesome (ZT60) and not ready to drop three grand on a big OLED after dropping $1500 on the Arc and subwoofer.Only complaint is that the picture appears a tad duller than direct-feed.
