Connecting a TV via ARC HDMI to Amp Gen 2

I have an outdoor TV with and HDMI cable run through brick to my current receiver.  Trying to connect a Sonos Amp Gen 2 with this cable.  I am looking for a converter to connect to the opposite end of the HDMI cable and plug into the Sonos Amp Gen 2 Analog Audio cables.  It will be next to impossible to just feed audio cables through this brick.

Can you recommend a splitter/converter in order to make this happen?

The Sonos is looking for an HDMI ARC signal, not just an HDMI signal. Usually, that signal is generated by the TV, using one of the TV’s several HDMI ports, and is labeled as ARC.

Things become much more complicated when you want to use an external device to create the ARC signal.

Are you sure you’re supplying the ARC to the Sonos device?
