Connect Epson projector to Sonos home cinema pack

hello, I am looking for a solution to connect my Epson EH-TW7200 projector to my Sonos system (beam+sub+one x2).The goal is to be able to connect my PC, my apple TV and my ps5 to my projector and have the sound come out on the sonos system when I choose to play the ps5 for example. are there boxes like this? To be able to connect all my devices to the projector and also have sound (dolby atmos)? wireless maybe?

    Since you want the ability to play Dolby Atmos audio and your projector probably doesn’t support Dolby Atmos, I recommend getting the HDFury Arcana eARC adapter along with an HDMI switch. The Arcana will allow the PS5, Apple TV, and PC to bypass your projector’s limitations and send audio directly to the Beam.

    Before you connect the Arcana, be sure to set up the Beam with a TV with HDMI ARC first since your projector does not have HDMI ARC. If you have already set up the Beam on a TV, you can skip this step.

    Here is an HDMI switch that works well with the Arcana: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CF793HQ/

    From the Arcana manual:

    In order to get audio from any sources at Arcana input, users of brand new/never used Sonos Beam must go through the app setup process while connected to a CEC-capable display. If you never when through the Sonos app setup process with your Sonos Beam soundbar yet, please connect it to any HDMI display that offers CEC support and complete the Sonos app setup process. Once done, you can connect it back in your setup with a non-CEC capable display, monitor or TV and you will be able to get full audio from any source to Sonos Beam as expected. This Sonos restriction requires such initial setup first with CEC-capable display. If your Sonos Beam has been setup before, then there is no need to set it up again after the Arcana is connected and you can just proceed normally.

     

    If you don’t have a TV, take your Beam to a friend or family member’s home, connect it to their CEC-enabled TV, and run TV Setup for the Beam.

    No, that is just select the TV as a source after it’s been setup.

    The setup to connect a TV should normally occur when you do the initial setup of the Beam (connecting to internet, etc).  If you’ve already done that and skipped TV setup, I believe you can do it later under the settings.
