Question

3.5mm audio out to ARC1 in for Sonos Beam

I am trying to solve an issue for a friend. Friend purchased Optoma UHD50 projector and installed it in his basement that has drywall walls and ceilings. Currently uses roku stick for HDMI input and now he wants to use a Sonos Beam. The projector has a 3.5mm audio out. I've found a 3.5mm audio transmitter/receiver kit that can deliver the 3.5mm audio out to the Beam Sonos but I also need to convert the 3.5mm audio signal to an ARC1 HDMI signal to input into the Sonos Beam. Does anyone know if this is possible or if there is a converter out that accepts a 3.5mm audio input and outputs HDMI ARC1? Thank you in advance!

    I've never met a BT device that supported 5.1ch. It just isn't what BT audio is designed for, and as far as I know the A2DP profile is stereo only.

    Thanks, ratty. I’ve never seen one either, but certainly don’t have much knowledge in that area, as I really don’t pay attention to it.
