I have a Beam bar to watch movies. I have replaced my TV by a projector (beamer) Optoma EH330UST.
I’m not able to get the sound in the soundbar.
The projector has (2) HDMI 1.4a, 1 with MHL 2.0 . Not sure how to make it act as a HDMI ARC.
Or If a HDMI splitter exist to separate the image and the sound.
If you have any ideas, please send them :)
You can’t ‘make an HDMI act as ARC’. It either is or isn’t.
As you surmise, you’ll need to split the audio and video. Send the audio to the Beam, the video to the projector. Get an HDFury Arcana.
Yes, you could strip the audio from the HDMI and output it over optical. Then use the Beam’s optical-HDMI adapter. There are many cheap devices which will de-embed the audio to optical.
You would however be limited to Dolby Digital 5.1 on the Beam. No DD5.1+ or Atmos.
Arcana is the most comprehensive solution and, once configured, works well.
If you want something cheap and simple, get an HDMI extractor that outputs audio over optical.
