Hello, if there is a thread that would help feel free to just direct me there..unless you want to read on and  specifically hear about what I am hoping to do ☺️.

We recently bought an LG 27LQ600S-W for our kitchen and the sound is UNBEARABLY bad. So...I thought I would get either a SONOS One or Era 100 to send the audio to via BT. I was unsure if the BT connection would remain after turning the TV off. Good news is that it does but asks via a dialog if you want to connect to the Era when you power the TV back on. I would LOVE to have a direct “hardwire” connection to remove this extra step. TO BE 100% TRANSPARENT...I am trying to remove this extra step for my wife who doesn’t CARE about tech like I do and any extra step is ONE TOO MANY.

So, I am wondering what the best way to “hardwire” the Era 100 to my TV’s TOSLINK or HDMI Arc output is.

Would an HDMI to USB-C cable (https://www.amazon.com/Satechi-Aluminum-Type-C-HDMI-Cable/dp/B06XS788CK/ref=asc_df_B06XS788CK?mcid=a3f7709fc5ba3a5796a8f6417fa88641&hvocijid=4545682352317951477-B06XS788CK-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=692875362841&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4545682352317951477&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9028801&hvtargid=pla-2281435179338&th=1)

work or do I need an “audio extractor”

and then go from the 3.5mm output on it to the Sonos Line-in adapter?

Would really appreciate any help with this. Thanks for your time.

Only the official line in adapter from Sonos will work on the Era 100. The best way to add better sound to your TV is with the Sonos Ray to avoid the 75ms delay when using the line in on Sonos speakers.
