HDMI CEC-Less Adapter (CEC Blocker)
The HDMI-CEC protocol uses Pin 13 to communicate power and volume commands between the TV and soundbar. Third-party devices connected to other TV ports often inject non-compliant signals onto this shared bus, causing the TV to lose the handshake with the Sonos Arc. This adapter physically disconnects Pin 13 from the offending peripheral, preventing signal interference without affecting video data.

Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 Cable (48Gbps)
eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) requires significantly higher bandwidth than standard ARC to transmit object-based audio like Dolby Atmos. If the cable impedance is out of spec or the shielding is insufficient, the differential pair used for the eARC Data Channel will fail to sync, resulting in no audio. An Ultra High Speed certified cable ensures the physical layer can handle the bidirectional metadata sync required by the eARC protocol.
