This is what I use and works perfectly. There are no switches that will give you 120hz, so 60hz with full sound support is what you want.
Hey, thanks for replying! I think that makes sense, I have an HDMI switcher but it still makes the screen blank. I rolled my own KVM with that and an USB switcher as the KVMs I saw around were either too expensive or didn't support 4K displays. I guess I'll have to look into professional KVMs or something to have this feature I need, right?
I got switch from amazon ROOFULL HDMI Switch
All my devices connect to this and then a single HDMI from the switch to the Soundbar. The Soundbar output to the TV and that’s it!
I’ve used this in two different setups with good results.

Roofull switch on Amazon works like a charm for my set up.

I used to use a a Roofull switch before I had a 120hz CX https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CF793HQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_Z7XZ8QHMRZQDPH808T9G
Problem with that though is you lose 4k@120 with the consoles. There are no hdmi switches that do 120hz that I know of. That Roofull one was buggy as hell also and I was always having to power cycle it.
One input on Arcana. I have AppleTV and Xbox connected to HDMI switch.
This is the HDMI switch. ROOFULL Premium 5 Ports ... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CF793HQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
After doing more research, I ended up purchasing the ROOFULL Premium 5 Ports 4K@60Hz HDMI2.0 Switch from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CF793HQ/
I can confirm that - for me at least - it works flawlessly with the Playstation 5. It passes the signal to my TV in 4K @ 60HZ, along with HDR and Dolby Vision (from my 2020 Roku Ultra). There are no issues with HDCP, and the switch works great with my Harmony IR remote.
If you are looking for a switch that passs 4K @120 HZ, this is NOT capable of doing that. But if you are fine with 4K @ 60 HZ (which still looks awesome), this is a good HDMI switch to buy.

Hey, thanks for the replies. How about this, do you think a switch like this would work?
I'm thinking [components]--->[switch]---->[soundbar]--->[TV arc] I'm assuming that would get me sound on everything. I know its not ideal, but its all I got for now
This seems identical: ROOFULL Premium 5 Ports 4K@60Hz HDMI2.0 Switch with IR Remote, 5 in 1 Out UHD 4K HDMI Switcher, Support HDR 10, HDCP 2.2, Dolby Vision, Atmos, Freesync, Auto-Switching, 18Gbps, CEC, 1080P/3D https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CF793HQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_KlFXFbGSMYWV9

Too bad I won't be able to use it soon as it's not HDMI 2.1 lol. Well I can still use it I guess till I get a new TV, but trying to decide if I wanna hold out to see what 2021 LG OLEDS bring.
Just received a Samsung 65" Q8DT (one eArc port) and Sonos Arc (with sub and 2 OneSLs). So the Arc connects to the TV using eArc, but my DVD player (an LG UBKC90) must plug into a non-eArc HDMI port on the TV. When I play an ATMOS DVD there is occasional drops in the sound, sometimes requiring that I stop and start the DVD to get sound back.
Spent quite a bit of time with Sonos support troubleshooting the issue, but they finally threw the issue into Samsung's court, saying the TV may not be passing full audio to the Arc.
So, from what I can tell (and I'm no expert at this), even a new tv with an eARC port will not support Dolby Atmos playback from an external source like a DVD player with the Arc. Perhaps the Arcana is required? If so, would the Arcana solution allow Dolby Atmos from a native Netflix app as well as the external DVD player?
Bought this and have had no issues. ROOFULL Premium 5 Ports 4K@60Hz HDMI2.0 Switch with IR Remote, 5 in 1 Out UHD 4K HDMI Switcher, Support HDR 10, HDCP 2.2, Dolby Vision, Atmos, Freesync, Auto-Switching, 18Gbps, CEC, 1080P/3D https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CF793HQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_AMOFFbGBQ0384
I tried using this method where the switch was connected to the HDMI In input from the sound bar, but my 4K Apple TV would not display 4K. The 4K options were not appearing on the Apple TV’s video settings. I am able to get 4K when the Apple TV is connected to the TV’s HDMI source. My switch says it is 4K compatible - not sure what I am doing wrong? Here is the switch I have: https://www.amazon.com/ROOFULL-Switch-Vision-Switcher-Compatible/dp/B07CF793HQ
I just got this and it’s been working very well the last few days:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CF793HQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
4K / HDR 10 / Dolby Vision / Atmos / TrueHD - handles it all. Just make sure your cables are decent.
I had the same problem and went through a couple until I found the one that worked great. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CF793HQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I don't think you need matrix switches. This is all you need, I think:
​
I use that with HDfury Arcana and the Sonos Arc, a lot of other switches don't work well, but this one consistently does.
Thats is not a true 4K switch if you look at the details it is really just a 1080p switch with 4K 30Hz support which is useless for consoles as they need 4K 60Hz & HDR.
What you should search on Amazon for is "4K 60Hz HDR switch" and you will get something you need like this.
https://www.amazon.com/ROOFULL-Switch-Vision-Switcher-Compatible/dp/B07CF793HQ/
That will work with PS4 and Xbox, Playstation can be weird with switches, if you get no signal just move it to another port on the switch.
I bought this from Amazon a few days ago and has been working well for me so far:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CF793HQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
No issues with Arcana and is happily and reliably being controlled by my Harmony Hub.
Just look on Amazon for 4K 60Hz HDR switch and you will fine suitable models.
Most common ones are same hardware with just different names, often colored gold or blue.
https://www.amazon.com/ROOFULL-Switch-Vision-Switcher-Compatible/dp/B07CF793HQ/
That will work with everything bar VRR/Freesync and ALLM features on Xbox.

You did an amazing job.
Would you ever consider selling the Adobe Dimension file you created so others could try and get local craftsman to fabricate these?
This has gotten good feedback in Hdfury forums, and Hdfury knows a lot about HDMI / CEC - https://www.amazon.com/ROOFULL-Switch-Vision-Switcher-Compatible/dp/B07CF793HQ?th=1
Yeah did some research and ordered this one.

So it'll work for now. dont think im upgrading tv for a few years maybe.

I use a roofull brand switch with my arc with no issues. It’s perfect. I imagine it would work well for you as well. link
if I were to get the HD Arcana, how would I connect multiple sources to it?
Switches can be problematic, however many folks have had success with the Roofull switch - https://www.amazon.com/ROOFULL-Switch-Vision-Switcher-Compatible/dp/B07CF793HQ
​
Does the sonos app show incorrect audio information?
Not to my knowledge. Some source devices decode to LPCM, which can be confusing
​
Should I try playing the same scene on either of the 4K players to test quality vs the digital version?
Sure, why not. With the Arcana, Atmos from a 4K Blue-ray should show up in the Sonos app as Atmos - TrueHD
Thanks for the suggestion! That was costlier than I thought it would be. How would you rate https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CF793HQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share&th=1?
I use this one, no issues with either my PS5 or Series X. Also passes Dolby Vision flawlessly.
I appreciate the feedback.
Going to give this one a shot:

Do you think that will do the trick?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CF793HQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I haven't ran it through its courses so I can't guarantee its reliability but the reviews are pretty good
I am able to get Atmos by connecting the tv and soundbar via hdmi arc and plugging my streaming sources into the hdmi in of the soundbar.
Since there's only one hdmi input, I recommend ordering this HDMI Switch to support numerous devices.
Also, order these Monoprice Certified Premium cables if you don't have quaility hdmi cables.
I just got this one a few weeks ago, and it's been great!

I use this but I also had to attach it to a remote plug. I needed to power cycle it (completely powered down by unplugging it from the power) in order for it to pick a new source from the N950.
