Thank you all for all your efforts and testing. A system update has now been released which includes a fix to this issue (it disables the Sonos “screensaver” on an Arc if connected to a Samsung TV). Please update your Sonos systems. If you’re still experiencing problems after updating, please let us know.

According to this picture HDMI3 on the Connect box is the HDMI-ARC: q90r-inputs-back-large.jpg (3840×2160) (rtings.com) (via Samsung Q90/Q90R QLED Review (QN65Q90RAFXZA, QN75Q90RAFXZA, QN82Q90RAFXZA) - RTINGS.com). It is labelled as such.

And you are right: optical does not give you Atmos. So HDMI-ARC is the way to go.
