Question

Sonos Arc and Samsung Q900 Dolby Atmos Support

Will my TV (QN65Q900RBFXZA) allow for Dolby Atmos audio using the OneConnect ARC port?  I just ordered the Sonos Arc which supports Dolby Atmos but not sure if my TV is going to become the issue.

I've been reading Samsung hasn't released an update for eARC capability.  Honestly, I am not sure what the differences between ARC vs. eARC and if it will be an issue.

    @JamieHeyward If you want PS5 and all of your external sources to output Atmos quality audio to the Sonos Arc, then you will have to use an HDMI switch placed before Arcana. Your setup would be Apple TV 4K / PS5 / Computer / etc to HDMI Switch > Arcana > eARC out (from Arcana) to Sonos Arc and HDMI Arc Out (from Arcana) to the Arc input on the TV/One Connect Box. 

    In my case, the majority of content is streamed through Apple TV 4K, so the Arcana is used directly connected to that source. The Arcana is also able to do sound retrieval from TV ARC input to eARC i.e., Sonos Arc system. Therefore I have sound from inbuilt Samsung apps as well as Nintendo Switch connected to One Connect Box coming from the Sonos Arc.

    Hope this helps.
