I use an hdfury Acana to solve lip sync issues with my Sonos arc but the arc won't connect if I have other devices connected with hdmi like a blu Ray player.  I have to unplug any other hdmi connected devices and the arc will connect.  Any help would be appreciated.

I have a philips 804 oled TV with a Sonos arc, sub and ones. I have my sky q 2 tb box plugged directly into an Acarna to solve lip sync issues. This all works ok the problem is when I plug my fire cube or panasonic blu Ray into my TV hdmi port the Sonos can't connect so I have to switch to tv speakers but if I unplug them the sonos will connect.  Any thoughts?? Cheers

If you change the Digital Out Format setting on the TV to Multichannel (bypass), do you still experience lip sync issues?

I have used a switch but the same thing happens if more than one device is plugged in at one time the Sonos hdmi won't connect. 

Try it again but exclude the Fire Cube as that can be aggressive in it's CEC demands.

Then try connecting the Fire Cube to see if its that device causing the issue.

If disabling CEC in Fire Cube settings doesn't resolve the issue, you could always buy a CEC-less adaptor and try that.

My TV is already set to multichannel bypass and the lip sync is obvious without the Acana. If you take the Acana out the equation and plug everything directly to the TV everything works brilliantly but with lip sync issues.
