I've got my PS5 connected directly to my LG C9 OLED through HDMI 3 input.
My 2012 Pioneer LX-85 has everything else (region-free blu ray player, Nintendo Switch, HTPC, retro-games console) connected to it, then to the TV into HDMI 2, which support ARC (*not eARC).
Trouble is, with this setup, my PS5 can spin 4k discs, but I'm limited to Dolby Digital sound via the ARC (no eARC on my old receiver).
I'd rather not upgrade to a new AVR given the cost and teething issues with HDMI 2.1, so the solution seems to be a simple HDMI 2.1-capable splitter for the PS5 to allow the HDMI 2.1 video signal (4K/120Hz/VRR/ALLM etc) to go the TV, and the Hi-res audio (DTS-MA, DD-Tru HD, Atmos) to go to the AVR.
So: are there any HDMI 2.1 splitters available, or at least coming soon? It's bizarre that we seem to be stuck at HDMI 2.0 for AVR's and peripherals months after the PS5's release, and a year after HDMI 2.1 should have been widely available.
