I’d be very concerned about ‘splitting’ an HDMI ARC signal, which is what the Sonos is looking for. I don’t know off hand what the nominal voltage is on that signal, but I’d want to use a device that powers both outputs, rather than simply splitting the signal in half. It might be too low.

I’ve never shopped for a device that has two HDMI ARC outputs on it, but would assume you might be best to search on Amazon, at least for ideas, then shop locally as desired.

      I figured it out thanks. The arc hdmi goes straight to 1 amp and the other picked it up. As soon as i took the splitter out it worked instantly. Sounds great!
