I am trying to run my Amazon firestick through my LG TV into my Sonos Arc and still have the ability of using my audio receiver. I can pair my TV with the arc and plugging in my firestick into the back of the tv. No problem but then i have nothing with my receiver. I plug the firestick into the receiver and lose the tv connection with my Sonos arc. Is there the ability to use both? Any help would be appreciated

For your second scenario, firestick plugged to the receiver, is the Arc still connected to the TVs HDMI-ARC port? The ARc will play whatever audio it receivers from the TV, and the TV would not know that the receiver is playing audio. Most likely, your receiver isn’t sending audio to the TV, and thus TV can’t send it to Arc.

You could get an HDMI splitter, with the fireTV sending a signal to the receiver and to the TV (and thus Arc) at the same time. That should solve the problem. However, if your expecting your receiver and Arc to play in perfect sync, I don’t that will happen. What do you want to continue using your receiver for?
