Hi, can you let me know the best recommended set up to connect an Arc with a PC for listening to video (no TV available unfortunately to connect HDMI-ARC cable) streamed through a PC - eg. SkyGo - I think there are various set ups, but want the best without delay on the video content. Thanks for your help

See the section for Arc here:

 

Hi Mr T, many thanks - I read the article previously, but was looking for the best solution from other peoples experience - my Arc cannot be connected physically to PC due to layout, so will have to be paired on APP with either Move2, Amp, Play5 - these can be connected with cable to the PC but wondering which one is best to minismise delay for both to play video content ? Any help / experience much appreciated!

If there is no way to connect the Arc directly to your PC with a HDMI cable, you will get a 75ms delay when going through another speakers line in. If your PC does have a HDMI output, HDMI over Ethernet may be a solution for you.

Unless your PC has an HDMI-ARC/eArc output nearby, there is no optimal way to connect it to a Sonos soundbar.   All other methods are going to incur some type of delay or lip-sync problems.  Generally speaking, Sonos soundbars/Amps are made to connect directly to a TV, or at the very least, an HDMI-ARC or eARC source.
