Hello anyone.

My TV doesn´t have ears, I am going to change the next year but at this moment only have HDMI 1.4 ARC.

Is possible to use Apple TV 4K with an HDMI 2.1 splitter and connect one HDMI to the tv and the other to the Sonos arc and have Atmos.

No. The Sonos Arc can’t accept a normal HDMI connection from a source like an Apple TV, it must receive audio through audio return channel, ARC or eARC. The device you would need is the Arcana, which is currently in preorder. The diagrams on the ‘Getting Started’ tab do a good job of illustrating how you would use it. Your case sounds like ‘One Source Only’
