Here is the setup: cable tv sending HDMI to a splitter, in turn sending HDMI to projector and sending HDMI arc to a sonos amp . Then on the wall where image is projected I have a Sonos ARC . The ideal situation would be that the ARC would act as front sound bar receiving arc signal from the amp in the back wall. This is because I would like to avoid running a long HMDI cable to the ARC soundbar. Is this possible - have not been able to figure if nor how . Ultimately then the speakers connected to the amp could serve as complement to the ARC system as rear surround speakers . Thanks for any help

You cannot get HDMI-ARC from a source. HDMI-ARC comes from a TV, or a specialized extractor. See the following article for details:

No, this is not possible. The Amp cannot be the one receiving the HDMI-ARC signal while function as surrounds and then command the Arc. In Sonos set ups it is always the front (soundbar or Amp) that commands the system and so needs the HDMI-ARC connection.
What splitter do you use? Cam it really split of the HDMI-ARC stream?
