Connecting vero to Screen + Soundbar without ARC

[Smurphy]

Hi all,

I have a relatively simple setup, and as I use a 42" computer screen (42.5" Philips Momentum 436M6VBPAB - Specifications) which has no ARC hdmi port, i currently use a 3.5mm audio plug to forward sound to the soundbar (CINEBAR 11 "2.1-Set" | Teufel)

What’s the best way to actually setup this environment? I used a HDMI switch to connect the game-devices of the kids to the screen + soundbar. Anything that exists that I have missed?

Any hint welcome

Ideal would be devices>HDMI switch>soundbar>display I think for this particular hardware. I’d think this would be better than routing the audio from the display and should allow for CEC volume control of the soundbar. There is a pretty good guide found here…
