What’s your budget? There are some very expensive (though not necessarily “best”) cables out there.

Budget not as important as getting the best HDMI cable however would not pay silly money for a cable 

I was looking at this one UGREEN HDMI 2.1 Cable 8K HDMI Cable Certified 8K 60Hz 4K 240Hz Ultra High Speed 48Gbps Aluminum eARC HDCP Dynamic HDR

You are transporting sound, not images. There’s no need for high speed/bandwith cables. Any HDMI 1.4 (first to have ARC) or newer will do.

I tried a hdmi cable that originally was used to connect my old Denon surround sound system but that cable did not give me any sound on the tv so I guess it was an older type HDMI

I’ll just get a newer one thanks
