Ace doesn’t audio swap with Arc that is connected to Apple TV 4K via airplay 2 (not HDMI). The Apple TV 4K is connected to a TV projector and not to a TV. When I attempt to Ace audio swap with my Arc the sound defaults to the TV projector audio. No sound gets swapped to the Ace. Is the audio swapping not working because the Arc is not connected to the Apple TV 4K with a HDMI?

Ace swap can only take place when the Arc is receiving audio via the HDMI-ARC input.

Sonos needs to update that in the future for audio swapping to pass through via airplay with the Ace/Arc.

I don't know many people who spend $900 on an Atmos soundbar to play a stereo Airplay signal when it is designed to play multi-channel soundtracks via HDMI-ARC.

Don’t plan to buy a 30ft hdmi to connect my Arc to Apple TV 4K to the tv projector.
In my opinion, Sonos really isn’t the best system to use with a projector based system, due to the need to connect the speaker via ARC or eARC… and that most projectors don’t have either. AirPlay 2 is not really an option, as Apple restricts the signal to non - Apple devices to stereo.
