HDMI conncetion

[Tantan86]

Hi to all Shifu,

I would your help, advise and recommendations.

My laptop has only 1 HDMI port.

I have a monitor which has a HDMI port
I also has a Soundbar which has a HDMI ARC port, Optical port (digital audio) and AUX in connection.

How do i connect both the monitor and soundbar together into my laptop and to receive them digitally?

Many Thanks....

There are HDMI splitters that can separate the audio and output via a separate HDMI port. You can check prices yourself to see if it's worth the effort. Might be easier to just use the optical or aux connection

Another option beside hdmi splitter as suggested by @xonix , you can also take a look at hdmi passthrough
