xbox series x interfering with sonos arc

I have a Sonos Arc connected to my Samsung 4k TV, sorry I don’t have the specific model number. I have my Arc soundbar connected through the TVs HDMI Arc port. I have a Metra HDMI splitter plugged into my only other HDMI port. I have my cable box and previously had an Xbox one through the splitter. For years things worked great, no issues. We just got an Xbox series X. Since setting this up I’ve noticed that my Arc seems to not be recognized by my Samsung and my TV will revert to the TV speakers, at times I will get no audio from the Xbox. I can fix it by unplugging the splitter from the other HDMI port, then once the Arc is recognized by the TV, almost immediately, then I can plug back in the splitter to the other HDMI port and things work great until for a while. I’ll come back an hour later and same issue. I have pass through on and Dolby atmos turned off on the Xbox. Any ideas for a permanent fix? I’ve tried power cycling everything. I can’t seem to find a fix that will work through power on/off over the course of a day. Any ideas?

Ah, I think I have figured it out.
HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 (ARC) are sideways on the back, HDMI 3 (which in the picture looks like it is labeled as part of HDMI 1) sticks straight out. It’s labeling isn’t ‘painted’ white, but you can barely see in the picture (I think) that it is labeled HDMI 3.

Currently unavailable, but the page has links to a good selection of others. I've had a selection of these behind some of my TV sets for many years with no issues.
