I have Earc hdmi om both Sonos Arc and TV, but no Atmos support on TV. How do I get Atmos?

The newest “Chromecast HD” support Atmos - Can I somehow connect it, to solve the problem? (do I need the HDFury or VAX04101A to fix the problem)?

I need help from the experts :-)

That model TV is not equipped with eARC and more than likely doesn’t support Atmos pass through from an external media device. So you need to get a new TV or an eARC adapter like an HDFury Arcana.

Ok so even the Apple TV have to go though the switch.

Have you any personal experience with the Feintech VAX04101. It seem stable enough but a bit more complicated to set up?

The link posted shows how it’s setup with the TV - it’s straightforward, just like adding a switch to any TV - it extracts the audio from the A/V source and sends it to the Arc with no delays, so all plays in sync with the video on the TV screen.

@Morlock1943 - if you want to optimise the Source audio you connect the Source to the HDFury and then the HDFury to the TV ARC socket and a second cable from the HDFury to the SONOS eARC socket.

The ‘trick’ is that the HDMI socket on the SONOS will not work with a conventional HDMI Switch so the HDFury has to ‘act’ like a eARC/ARC TV.

Before you can introduce the HDFury you must connect the SONOS to the TV ARC socket and go through the SONOS initial setup then you add the HDFury to the System.

You can still route the TV Audio via the HDFury to the Soundbar.
