Hello all, I’m after so advise regarding my PS5 set up.
I currently use a speakerless gaming monitor with my PS5, but I use a USB speaker for the audio.
I’m looking to upgrade that speaker to a Sonos Beam, but to connect the Sonos to the monitor it needs either a HDMI ARC or Optical output, which my monitor doesn’t.
So, my question, If I purchase an Audio Extractor with Opticsl output, would that work?
HDMI in from my PS5 - HDMI out to my monitor/Optical out to my Sonos speaker?

Yes, it should. The extractor would pull the audio stream from HDMI , and send it via optical to the Sonos adaptor, which would change the optical to HDMI ARC, which would plug in to the Beam. You would then connect the HDMI output from the extractor and send that to your monitor.

Thank you, that’s what I thought but wanted to double check before purchasing the Sonos and the audio extractor
