Since the HDMI port is meant to receive audio from the TV, would it not receive audio from the Google Chromecast dongle so I can play to that dongle to get Chromecast audio?
If someone has those two pieces, I would be very interested to know if it works.
The port on the Amp is an HDMI-ARC port, and needs the ARC signal from a TV. It doesn’t pull audio from a normal HDMI signal.

OK yes, I understand that. So the ARC audio signal coming back from the TV is coming through a different line compared to the standard audio signal?
I can actually give this a try by connecting my DVD player to the amp and see if I get sound (I am getting my amp today).

Yes. Different channels.

Many others have tested before you, and Sonos has stated, it’s not going to work.

Ok understood. I think the ARC line in HDMI is physically separate from the audio line. The optical adapter would allow audio in into the SONOS amp, but for HDMI audio in I would have to use something else.
