I have 2 tvs that I want to connect to my Sonos Arc soundbar.  Sound from both tvs will never be on at the same time

Example tv one I maybe playing a video game and tv 2 would be football and I want to listen to the game.   Another time I may want to hear the game and just have the game on to follow but not really care to hear it.  

What is the best way to hook up 2 tvs to the arc?  Can I use a hdmi splitter or matrix that supports eArc out?  Have the eArcs from both tvs go to hdmi one and hdmi 2 and then have the output of the splitter that supports eArc go to the Sonos Arc?

There isn’t a great way to connect two TVs to a single soundbar (neither the soundbar, nor HDMI ARC/eARC is designed for that), but I agree that you might look at matrixed HDMI ARC switches that support ARC/eARC.. I’d recommend powered, but I’m not sure it is required, since you’re going to be choosing a single input to send to the Sonos, and not try to take a single signal and spread it to two soundbars. I’d be much more concerned about ‘splitting’ than I am about just redirecting. 

Did this work for you?
