Hi,
I am looking for advice how to play my firestick from my projector and play the sound out of my beam? Attached picture of Epson acer projector and bi directional switch I bought.
Thanks
Bren

I’ve used 45 foot Blue Jeans TOSLINK cables with PLAYBAR.
That should certainly allow you to send a Dolby Digital 5.1 signal via optical to the Beam using the adapter the Beam shipped with. You won’t get Atmos, as a caution.
And still there’s the issue of running all the cables, from where the projector is, to where the Beam is. A long optical cable might be doable, but they’re in different areas of the room, the projector usually behind you, and the speaker normally underneath the screen. Not terribly close.
Cool ; really appreciate your guidance here and thanks for replying. I am just about to order this from Amazon so hopefully it works.

The Beam needs HDMI-ARC. The projector does not provide it, so the switch won’t help. Optical could be a only solution here, though I do not see it in the picture of your projector. Or you could look into using the HDFURY Arcana.
